Mission Statement

What We Think About Fitness Today

We are bombarded with tons of fitness information, fads and doo-dads every day. "Want the perfect body?…try the abs swinger" or "lose weight fast with this little magic pill, order now and get a whole bottle free". It is impossible to turn on the TV and go a whole ½ hour without hearing some junk about how to make your life perfect, just by buying some contraption for "three small payments of $19.95". What is "perfect" anyways? To us the phrase "strive for perfection" is a bunch of bologna. Hello... we are humans... not one of us is perfect, how boring would that be! We sure don't want to be perfect… We like cookies. Yes, we said it…We like cookies!

We think that if you completely take out everything that you like, you are setting yourself up for failure…not to mention... Borrringgg!

Knowledge is the key. Having the knowledge to choose what makes your body feel good instead of following society blindly. There is no such thing as "one size fits all". Most people need to figure out what works for them, that's where we come in. We are Personal Trainers. We work closely with you so you can get to know what your body wants and needs to be fit. Though, in order to make this work, you must want it bad enough. I mean, really, really want to make a lifestyle change that will improve your life. In our experience, the reason most programs don't work is because the client is not ready or it is not important enough to them. NO MORE EXCUSES, they are for losers!!

We don't care what commercials or magazines tell you, you don't need fancy equipment or a magic pill to be successful. All you need is yourself and a little guidance.

Our Story

My husband (McLain) and I moved out to California to be closer to our family.  As a newly married couple, we were trying to find our place in the world.  I have always had a huge passion for helping people find the motivation and resources to stay fit.  After working in several ‘corporate’ gyms, I started to get annoyed with the constant pressure to sell, sell, sell.  How horrible is it that most gyms operate by hoping that you pay and DON’T show up?  With very little money to do so, McLain and I opened up Guiding Fitness with the intention of really helping people live a healthier lifestyle.  Thanks to the help of many others we have helped many people achieve things they could have only imagined before us. 

After two years we had a huge studio and lots of members coming in and out. We grew quickly and I felt like we got away from our original goal of helping people live a healthier lifestyle. Our passion is to help people that are ready to make a lifestyle change, not just be here in case they ‘show up’. 

Many of you are going to love the recent changes because you are ready to take in everything that Guiding Fitness has to offer.  Others will be upset because you will not have a place to ‘show up’ to, I apologize in advance. 

Our focus will be on personalized workouts, small classes, lasting friendships and ‘guiding fitness’. 

We are going to revolutionize our industry by offering more than just a place to ‘show up’.  Our trainers and instructors are passionate about doing everything we can so that you are successful.
