Top Women's personal trainers in Studio City, United States

I recommend Melissa and the Pure Strength team to everyone I know! In the last year since I have been a Pure Strength client I feel stronger than I’ve ever been and am excited to continue to build strength and muscle in the coming years. Melissa and her team are so knowledgeable and are always keeping a careful eye on each of us to ensure we are positioned and lifting (or pushing and pulling) properly so we do not hurt ourselves as we lift those heavy weights.

I love Pure Strength - both the people and the program! I’ve never exercised consistently but have been diligent with this workout since 2011. The only time I missed my workouts was when recovering from a car accident. Last year I was a pedestrian in a marked crosswalk in Sherman Oaks, and I had the “walk” light, when I was struck by an SUV and thrown about 15 feet. It was pure luck that I didn’t hit my head and Pure Strength that I walked away with only a crushed vertabra and cracked rib. Osteoporosis runs in my family and doctors are always surprised when they do bone density tests and I test far younger than my age💪🏼. Melissa and her trainers are also good for my spirit. I never fail to leave happier than when I arrive!

Pure Strength Los Angeles’ “20-Minute Workout Backed by Science” is a game-changer.

It’s the only workout program that has kept me consistently showing up long-term. Melissa, the owner, and her team of fitness experts ensure that every client gets an efficient, science-backed workout. In less than 30 minutes, you’re in, out, and fully spent—in the best way possible.

Since starting at Pure Strength, my flexibility and functional strength have improved dramatically. I haven’t thrown out my back once, which used to be a regular issue for me.

Other benefits I’ve experienced include:

Faster recovery from physical exertion
Better focus and mental clarity
Improved optimism and confidence
Increased energy levels
A newfound enthusiasm for healthy, physical activities
The location is incredibly convenient—right on Ventura Boulevard at Laurelgrove in Studio City. The studio is small, clean, and quiet, tucked away from public view for a more private experience.

The workouts are meticulously supervised for proper form and personalization. Even in group settings, it feels like a one-on-one experience. All exercises use machine resistance—no free weights—which ensures safety and precision.

If you’re looking for an efficient, effective program that delivers real results, I can’t recommend Pure Strength enough!

This is the only workout I've been able to be consistent with, that doesn't flare up my neck issues! Melissa makes sure to modify the exercises for me. It's been nice to see my strength improve!

Before Pure Strength I used to throw my back out at least a couple of times per year and I was also diagnosed with osteoporosis. However since going to Pure Strength my back is just fine and every year my bone density has increased, along with everyone else in my group workout. We call ourselves the Gluteators and it's so much fun. Melissa, Lisa, Isabella and all the trainers are amazing and highly skilled at watching over my form, keeping track of progress and motivating all of us. Additionally Melissa was invaluable in helping me recuperate from a car accident quickly and safely. Pure Strength is the gold standard in building muscle, staying strong and being safe while aging. I don't feel 71 at all! Thank you Melissa and everyone at Pure Strength!!

I am a cancer survivor recovering from a bone marrow transplant. Pure Strength has played a big part in my recovery. Over the past few months Melissa and her team (thanks Isabella) have designed a program to build back my strength in a very supportive and methodical way. Each session is about twenty minutes and it seems too easy to be effective but the results have been profound. There is a big focus on form using the weight machines. Little adjustments are made to make sure my body is aligned and ready to build muscle properly. I feel stronger with every session and I’m so grateful to have found this place. I highly recommend.

Melissa and the entire staff are friendly, encouraging and very supportive. I look forward to my workouts at Pure Strength. They help me stay focused, disciplined and efficient with a unique style of exercise. I highly encourage people to try it out!

This place is a game changer. Approx 2 years ago, I moved to LA from NYC and looking to get in shape. I'm in my mid-40s and wasn't sure what was the best place for me. Luckily TrainingMate came along and not only am I in the best shape of my life, but I found a community of lovely humans (both trainers and fellow mates.) I am certain if you come to a class with an open heart and willingness to meet new people (and sweat) you'll be hooked!

I never thought I would think a workout class would fly by, but at Training Mate it did! I had so much fun in class between the trainer's jokes and the high-fives from other people working out. The front desk and the trainer even checked on me after class to see how my first class went. It's hard to find kind people in LA, but at Training Mate, they are everywhere!! I started going for the workout but I keep going for the great people (and maybe for the accents a little bit)!

Best Studio ever!!
The staff and trainers are incredible people. Very supportive and welcoming membership community. The most fun I’ve ever had working out 💙🙌🏻

I’ve been having Pure Strength sessions on Zoom, and recently started going to the studio as well. Studio is clean and bright.
Friends are telling me I look strong now.
I am more confident about what I can do physically. My diaphragm and breathing are strong for voice lessons.
Melissa and her team have the right blend of firmness, progress-tracking, and warm encouragement.
I highly recommend Pure Strength.

We did it!!
My osteoporosis is stabilized.
Melissa and her team have provided consistent caring instruction. That combined with annual infusions of bone density medication have stopped my bone density from declining in my hips. In fact, the density in my spine has improved slightly.

My medical care team and I are so pleased!
Thank you, PureStrength. You ladies are amazing!

Best circuit workout!! I love coming here. It’s only a 45 minute class but you’re constantly moving and doing cardio. Great atmosphere and people. I highly recommend checking it out!

Did my first class with Colin! Super helpful and motivating instructor. Can’t wait to take another class with him. The guy at the front desk (canadian dancer forgot his name) was super friendly and helpful as well. Would recommend this place for a good workout !

I absolutely love this place! I tried them through Class Pass and have to say this is my favorite spot of all the training studios! The trainers are awesome and they care! Are very fun, motivating and personable. :)
I have herniated disc’s in my neck and back and they make you feel very welcome and modify the workouts so you don’t feel left out. Plus they really make sure they show you the proper form to prevent injuries which is really important. I highly recommend this place for anyone really. It’s a really great workout. Been going for almost a month and already am seeing results. They do a lot of the workouts my personal trainer did with me which cost a fortune so I was happy to see this place knew exactly what they were doing. Finally a place that actually knows exactly what they are doing properly.
The best of the best studio!

I could work out here everyday! Love all the instructors and workers; amazing workouts; and quickly feel like part of a family. Highly recommend!

Training mate is the absolute best! Been going here for 3 months and I love it. Between the trainers and the front desk staff, everyone makes you feel so welcomed. At first, I was pretty apprehensive about doing HIIT intervals, but now I can't imagine doing weekly workouts without them. It's the best, I always leave every class feeling refreshed and rejuvenated. If you're looking for your fun new workout place to train and stay in shape, Training Mate is the place to go
