I have been training with Boba for more than 15 years, and it has been a wonderful experience. First off, Boba is a wonderful person, and your life will be fuller for knowing her! Boba is supportive, knowledgeable, and knows how to motivate you to be and do your best. She can modify your training regimen as needed to deal with any injury. I have trained both in-person and online, and found both methods to be effective and enjoyable. I am stronger and healthier than I would otherwise be, and I recommend Boba to all my friends!

Three years ago I began working out with Boba following a serious injury. She helped me to safely regain my strength and mobility and to build on that strength to get into the best shape that I have been in. Boba uses a blend of pilates, yoga and weights in a workout that she carefully adjusts each session so that I get the maximum benefit from my workout. Remarkably, our work has been entirely online, and yet I feel that we are in the same room, so carefully does she observe my movements. She is a gifted and generous trainer and has become a dear friend. My work with Boba has been life-changing.

Boba is magic! I’ve had a chronic back injury for years. Her deep knowledge of Pilates techniques, her understanding of how the body works, her intuitive approach and ability to coax me into doing positions I was hesitant to do, helped minimize my back pain. It also put me in much better physical shape and helped reduce the level of stress in my life. If you’ve never tried Pilates or are looking for a new instructor, look no further than Boba!

LA friends you deserve a session with trainer Boba Andric! In her gentle and astute way she demystifies the experience of a workout. She keys into your body with a laser like focus in a way I have never before experienced. She brings her knowledge of training and her dance aesthetic to the workout in a joyous and uplifting way. My body felt awake and invigorated after our session... No pain after or during. But even after one session, I felt stronger and more connected to my breathing and posture. If I lived in LA, Boba would be my go to gal and my trainer of choice. She is an amazing, knowledgeable and professional body work specialist... as good as it gets.

It's been nearly two years that I've been a member of Body Maxx. Previously, I was an ardent Sport Club LA supporter with an unwavering routine -- it's down the street from where I live, so I would walk to the gym at the same time 4-5 times a week and do my thing. But then... My sisters introduced me to Boba, the owner, of Body Maxx, when they gifted me 10 sessions. Now, the gym is somewhat across town and it was kind of a big deal for me to insert the wrench into the program I'd developed for myself at Sports Club. But I scheduled my sessions at Body Maxx thinking that I would simply split my loyalties and ultimately, probably, just go back to being devoted solely to Sports Club. Body Maxx is small, very personal. A neighborhood gym. But it has everything you need without the bells and whistles. The best way I can describe it is this: No bullshit. No fluff and no excuses. Boba is unlike any trainer I've ever met. She cares deeply about who you are, what your goals are, what you fear and what motivates you. She is always in the moment with you, demanding your best and willing you to give her your best. I like the feeling of succeeding not just for me physically, but also for that mental encouragement. When Boba says, "Good! Good!" it's a compliment that kind of stays with me for the day -- because she means it. Needless to say, I entrusted my workouts to Boba, turning my back on Sports Club. The one thing I didn't do though was allow her to weigh me or do any of the body fat testing. Probably because I didn't want to see or know the numbers. Rather, I felt good, was always an athlete and figured that I could simply rely on these facts to be my gauge. But I was wrong. Only recently, did I tell Boba that I want her to be my conscience and that I want to be accountable to her. In other words, I would weigh in every week, do the body fat test -- all those things I've been avoiding for a long time. 3 months later, I've lost 14lbs. I love Boba and I'm grateful to her for caring about me in a stern yet incredibly genuinely caring way.

I love Boba and I owe her my health - both mental and physical. Boba has a magical way of figuring out just how much she can push me - I am always surprised by what I can do in my 1-hour workout with her. The routine is always different except for the stomach sets at the end of the workout, which, at the end of the session actually feels like REST. I never get bored with the workouts even though I have been coming to Boba for personal training sessions since last December, when a friend of mine generously gifted me 3 lessons with her. The workouts are completely gimmick-free and all business - lots of exercises using your own body weight and free weights, elastics, weighted balls, kettle weights, adding platforms to make the squats just a little bit harder, and more. The latest fun and challenging thing I discovered with Boba is the Bulgarian training bag. It is surprisingly effective in working the obliques, which I hate to work on! You can count on Boba to always correct you if your breathing or posture is not right - so that you can get the most out of all the sessions you have with her. She always listens when you report anything that doesn't feel right - in one session when my lower back kept spasming when I tried to stretch (due to long flights getting back to LA the previous day), Boba immediately stopped the set and had me do a special stretching and gave me a thorough massage with a heating gel. I didn't even feel the pain the next day (except where she worked me over in the exercises!). The gym is understated and professional. Boba and the staff are friendly and approachable - the whole place has a neighborhood-y feel and you can tell many of the people have been coming to the gym for a while. I first came to Boba after a 4-month period where I did absolutely NOTHING after my exercise routine was interrupted by constant traveling. I have since moved farther away, but Boba's gym is definitely worth the visit!

I have been seeing a trainer here, Kimmy, for over a year. The facilities are top-notch, the personal trainers are personal and dedicated to your improvement, and the clientele is, well, celeb. Boba, the owner, is a wonderful woman who makes sure the facilities are clean, up to par and on the cutting edge of fitness. If you're looking for a training facility that will acquiesce to your individual fitness, this is it.
