I've been going here for almost a year now, I can't recommend it enough. The gym has a great community cultivated by Javi and Courtney the owners, all of the trainers are great and I'm in better shape than I have been in for many years.

I love all of the coaches at FSF! My husband and I started in August 2021 and almost a year later it's still our favorite part of the day. I went from struggling to carry groceries to hiking 12 miles in Sequoia (Jennie Lake). We workout 3-5 times a week and we feel so much stronger and healthier. The coaches are knowledgeable and a lot of fun to workout with. Highly recommend!

First Step Fitness saved me from being stranded in Mexico. I was at the airport preparing to board the plane to take me back to LAX when I discovered that I, like a fool, had lost my tourist visa. I was told I needed to get a replacement as quickly as possible or the plane would leave without me. Thanks to First Step Fitness I was able to sprint from the gate all the way back to the front of the airport where immigration was, get a replacement visa, sprint back up several flights of stairs, back through security, and across the airport to my gate all in time to make it on the plane. This was all while carrying my luggage. To top it all off I wasn't even that sweaty as I took my seat! Thank you FSF! This is a wonderful gym with experienced and attentive trainers that are deeply invested in helping you achieve your fitness goals. In addition if you are like me and have suffered from injuries that have derailed your previous attempts at getting in shape, every trainer here will show great care in giving you modified versions of all exercises to ensure that you can still train without reinjuring yourself. That same welcoming attitude extends to everyone who attends the gym as well. If you're looking for good people to work out with, you'll find plenty of friendly faces at this gym. I can't recommend FSF enough to anyone looking for their first gym, or a new spot to work out!

I highly recommend First Step Fitness. I have been going for over a year now. I get a really good workout every time and its different too so I am never bored. I also broke my ankle and Courtney was amazing at modifying my work outs and I still managed to burn a lot of calories without being able to run. I am so thankful to come to an inviting and warm environment that not only helps me physically but mentally too.

I wandered into First Step Fitness (FSF), unsure of my fitness goals and ambitions. However, shortly after, I was convinced I had found the right place. I was greeted by friendly staff and encouraged to talk to the owner. Javi and Courtney (co-owners) allowed me to try out the classes for a week. During that week, I witnessed the family environment coupled with challenging workouts. My classmates stepped through the door with a big smile day after day. The instructors carefully demo each exercise and patiently correct your form to avoid injury.FSF is a great gym, and I encourage anyone interested in working out surrounded by good vibes and under the supervision of great coaches to come and check it out.

I honestly don't even know where to start! First Step Fitness is BY FAR the best gym I have ever been to, and I have been to a few over the years! I walked into that gym weighing over 300lbs. At that weight, for me, stepping into a gym is TERRIFYING! But, within minutes of being there, I knew I had found my fitness family with FSF. I never felt judged or treated differently because of my weight, as I had done at other places! With Courtney and Javis's encouraging coaching style, I have been able to push myself out of my comfort zone and achieve things I never thought possible! This is because they have created an amazing culture, one where you know they genuinely care about you, your fitness goals, and your mental health! They have recently added 2 new coaches, Garret and Bryce, who are the perfect fit for the coaching staff and embody the same values as Courtney and Javis! If you are thinking about checking this place out, just do it. I promise you won't regret it!

FSF is an amazing gym! I've been a member for a few years now, started my fitness journey as many people do just trying to move and improve my overall health. I am happy to say I have since then gained a fitness family, my journey has become a way of life. I honestly never thought exercising would be so fun. The staff are fun, friendly, encouraging, and very knowledgeable. They honestly offer something for everyone, from group classes to one on one training. Courtney & Javi are amazing trainers, along with their newer team members. One Team, One Family

This is not just a gym, this is a FAMILY! The most motivating, fun, competitive yet supportive family you could ask for. You WILL reach your goals with Javi, Courtney, Garrett & Brice coaching you throughout your journey. It's a mix of HIIT and strength focused classes.. small group training is offered 7x a day Mon-Fri and two morning classes are offered on Saturday's. If you are interested in one on one personal training, you are guaranteed to be in some of the most knowledgeable hands that will work with you and your specific goals. There is no one size fits all plan here, they customize exercises to fit whatever stage you are at. They are also very knowledgeable around nutrition and can help guide you with that, since that is a large part of "getting in shape" as well. Come join the #TEAM!

If you're looking for somewhere that not only challenges you and helps you build strength but is also welcoming and fun then this is where you need to be. It truly feels like a family and you have the constant support of the trainers and the members working along side you, always encouraging you to keep going and work harder. The knowledge the trainers have and share with each individual person is what makes this place work and keeps you coming back for more. I feel the strongest I've ever felt being part of this family the last 2 years.
