The Strength Shoppe is life changing. I began coming to the Echo Park location in 2019. At that time, I was recovering from serious illness and musculoskeletal injury. I was so weak and constantly in debilitating pain. The idea of a gym was intimidating in my state. I even considered changing careers as my profession is very arduous. However, I love my career and did not want that; for me, that is worst case scenario. So, I contacted The Strength Shoppe and explained my situation. Owner/trainer Melinda Hughes understood my needs and was confident she could help. After my first session, I knew this was the place for me. I felt safe with the MEDEX equipment and the knowledgeable trainers. Four years later, I still go to this gym and am grateful to have found it. I have moved far beyond recovery and am stronger than ever before. Additionally, I have continued my career pain free. Thank you Melinda and crew!

I've been with the Strength Shoppe team- Dustin, Gabrielle, Melinda, Alyssa and other wonderful trainers- for over 7 months and I've been very happy with the high efficiency workouts (only 20 min. a week) and my results during this time in gaining overall strength. What I've loved most is that I do not get cramps and sore muscles after the workout. That was what prevented me from taking on strength training as a regular habit. Strength Shoppe is evidence-based training with precise logs of the workouts and progress. I'm very grateful for the personalized and very kind attention I get during the training as well as the flexibility to adapt to any condition such as temporary injury in a certain area. Looking forward to my next session!
