Two and a half years ago after a car accident, a slip and fall, years of not stretching after exercising and sitting a lot at work, I began to suffer from intense low back pain that radiated from my low back to my upper back. I went to the Chiropractor and got ultrasound therapy and chiropractic manipulations. I felt relief in the moment, but the pain would come right back. I then went to my doctor and she referred me to physical therapy. I went to physical therapy, but it did not help me much. I went to a massage therapist, but I also did not get relief. After months and months of pain and sleepless nights, I went to a new chiropractor. He asked me to stop working out, recommend doing a few yoga stretches and chiropractic massages and manipulation. This provided me with some relief but when I would workout the pain would come back. About a month ago Joaquin, owner of Elite Fitness, invited me in to try Sports Rehab Therapy at his gym. I was doubtful at first since I had tried everything under the sun for my low back pain and nothing had worked. After the first session I felt great, but I still had pain. It was not until after the 3rd session that I felt no pain for the first time in two and half years. I was amazed and incredibly grateful. I sit a lot for work and had to constantly stand up or change positions to get through my busy day. I recently began working out again and I’m happy to say that I have minimal pain come back. The combination of stretches and deep tissue massages has worked miracles for my back. Joaquin has also shown me different rehab exercises to try at home to continue with my recovery, as well as being aware of my posture to minimize pain. I highly recommend Sports Rehab at Elite Fitness. If you sit a lot at work at work and suffer from chronic back pain this is the place to come. You will feel light and like a brand-new person for days. Furthermore, the gym is extremely clean, the trainers wear mask, and all surfaces are wiped down before and after use.

I was seeking a work out to help me gain flexibility and strength. I have had very painful and debilitating knee problems after an ACL injury. I found what I needed and more! I’m stronger these days! Since starting with Joaquin and Elite Fitness I am able to hike more, play with my kids and deal with better with stress and anxiety. As a therapist I know that having balance in life has to include exercise and movement! No gimmicks here! Core workout, good programs and Joaquin knowledge of the body is incredible! Also I don’t get bored! Check him out! You won’t regret it. I am now using a belt that helps guide me to know if I’m actually working out in my zone. It’s really motivating me! Schedule is flexible and virtual is ideal for my busy life!

Ive gone to this gym for 3 years and not only do the workouts help me to de-stress after a long day but also leave me feeling motivated to keep working to meet my goals. Ive recently started using Elites line of protein supplements and have to say that my favorite is the salted caramel flavor. It tastes great and fills me up so I dont feel like I need to stop and eat fast food on my way home from work (most of the time!) Ill keep coming back though because of the people. Everyone there is super supportive and full of energy. Definitely a fun environment to be a part of.

I love this place. Since day one they received me with a smile. They gave me all the info and help necessary. The machines are always clean and in a good condition. I recommend it, it is the best place to get fit and feel like a family with great people in downtown Santa Ana

I love Elite Fitness. You walk in and it instantly feels like family. Everyone is happy to see you, kind and helpful. The gym is incredibly clean and they have every piece of equipment needed to get my sweat on. All equipment is well maintained - I have never experienced anything ever broken. They truly care about their clients experience and their business and it shows every time I walk in the door. I highly recommend this gym.

If youre looking for a non judge mental, family like environment this gym is for you. The owner is personable and really cares about each member and goes above and beyond to constantly improve the gym. Instruction of classes is personalized to meet your needs and there is always someone there to help or answer any questions.I especially liked the small class sizes where I was able to get 1-1 help as needed. Sean is hilarious and keeps things fun, but at the same time really pushes you. I knew absolutely nothing about lifting and the staff was amazing, teaching me proper form and helped me get the best of my workout. I initially sought yoga instruction and after trying other classes, I found an interest in barbell training and am now lifting more weight than I thought possible on my own.Major plus for me were the convenient location, small class sizes, wide range of classes and services (massage after a workout, yes please!), and the knowledgeable instructors. I also liked the events and promos like 30 day challenges, keeps things interesting and the gym is generous with incentives. The friendly and supportive staff and members was the icing on the cake of the facility. Sad to move from the area, its hard to find places like this.

I been coming to Elite for 2 years now and I been very happy here. Joaquin and his staff really work with you to achieve your fitness goals while educating you on fitness and workout out. Being part of Elite has helped me achieve my weight lost goals, prepared me for marathon running, and helped me built up more endurance as a martial artist.

This gym is very inviting and welcoming and has all the equipment you need to get a good workout in. Free weights, squat rack, smith machine, cable pull machine, leg press, leg curl & extension, cardio machines, and more! They also offer boxing, yoga and boot camp classes. I havent taken them but my boyfriend goes to boxing there every Monday and Wednesday and he loves it. Everyone is so nice at this gym and its always nice to support small businesses too. :)

Great small gym and a personal place to workout!

I walked into the gym July 2014 coming from a place where every gym grossed me out since I was allergic to human sweat! But Elite Fitness was unlike any other gym Ive tried, they were welcoming, positive and extremely supportive of my situation. I was recovering from thyroid cancer and my body was not responding to fad diets, I was overweight and didnt feel like myself. They put me on a wellness plan which incorporated nutrition, weight training, cardio, and positive conversation about my goals! Their entire approach was essential in keeping me on track. Ive lost 5 dress sizes and feel amazing, I go to the gym 5 days a week, because I love it not because I feel guilty! Elite Fitness changed my life and gave me a new approach to living a cancer free life!

Cool little place.. great for groups. Too highly priced for the area; however!

Best gym in town to workout and Sean is a very professional and knowledgeable trainer and Joaquin is a cool dude

Whats the price

Cute
