I first went to Vitality Personal Training when I researched lower back pain and saw that they have a specific weight machine to help. I continue to train with Rick because he designed a program that works to strengthen my whole body, and I am achieving real results. Not only have I had a significant reduction in lower back pain, but I also have become stronger, healthier, and more confident overall because of the personalized workouts and one on one attention. Rick knows which areas to target for improvement and real results. I like that he let me try a workout first and doesn't require a contract, and I sincerely believe this is a place to go for real life-changing results. Try it out. Seriously, in 1 monyou will be stronger and feel more energetic, and you will want to invest in taking care of yourself. It's totally worth it! I go twice a week, and I'm in better shape now than when I was spending hours and hours at the gym or running--plus, I'm not injuring my body from overuse or my own lack of knowledge! I regret time and money wasted trying to be fit when this actually works. It's worth every penny. Update: now down TWO sizes, and having one on one attention from a trainer who designed a program right for me has done more than any other diet, workout, OR physical therapy ever did! Highly recommend Vitality!
I began this with winning a gift certificate from a fund raiser. It seemed, at least, this business was generous to offer a non profit an auction item. For me it was a silly lark, and expected very little. Instead, it changed my life. In four months I have more strength, a better shape ( smaller clothes size) and some added discipline. The owner and trainer is Rick, a very gentle but firm soul. I am 64 no spring chicken I believe this is the tonic for my couch potato inclinations. I highly recommend Vitality. Margaret
Absolutely love Vitality Personal Training. The atmosphere is professional, clean and not overwhelming in the slightest. Rick is incredibly intelligent and is such a nice guy. The changes I have seen in my body since starting training with Rick have given me so much more confidence and has helped with back pain, knee pain and many other ailments that happen after having two kids. If you are looking for a custom one-on-one more clinical environment instead of the typical loud crowded gym format, look no further. Best part- the workouts are so tough but also fly by! For people with busy schedules this is such a great option!!
Rick is wonderful!! My fiancé and I relocated back to Southern California a few months ago, and I'd been struggling to find motivation to get into the shape that I'd envisioned for our wedding. I was a little bit intimated by the thought of seeing a personal trainer because I hadn't been very active for the last few years, but my fiancé noticed Vitality Personal Training when he was exploring the area one day. He encouraged me to at least talk to Rick and do a test workout, and I'm so glad that I took the plunge. The gym is amazing - the machines are state of the art and the space is clean and well-kept. Rick is incredibly knowledgable, encouraging, and kind. I feel no judgment whatsoever when working out with him, and he is able to dial into where I am in my fitness journey and how I can progress every time we have a training session. He is an expert, very attentive, and genuinely cares about your well-being. I initially signed up for weekly training sessions, but now I'm going twice a week. Rick is flexible and accommodating to my hectic schedule. I feel so much stronger already and my fiancé has even noticed my increased endurance when we go on hikes/long walks together. I'm confident that I will be able to reach my goals (and then some) by the time my wedding comes around. This is the perfect fitness situation for me, and I'm so thankful to Rick for his support, nutritional advice, and guidance!
Ive been training with Rick for only 7 weeks and have noticed a major difference in my body and strength! He is such a joy to work with and makes you feel very comfortable and confident. His workouts are extremely effective and I feel very lucky to have found him as a trainer. I highly recommend him to anyone looking to feel healthier and get in shape. It doesn't get much better than Rick!
Rick at Vitality Personal Training is a very good trainer. He has been helping me build strength and I have gotten stronger. You won’t find anyone better than Rick. Don’t think twice about joining Vitality Personal Training. Just do it and believe me, the results will follow.
Rick is highly efficient and is a pro at his craft. In a short amount of time I can feel and see results. Gym Equipment is in great condition and every inch of that space is super-clean. Good stuff.
Rick is an exceptional trainer who pays close attention to ensure you're moving correctly and targeting the right muscles. Since starting with him, I've seen significant improvements in my mood, mental health, strength, posture, and confidence. As someone with no prior strength training experience and a tendency toward anxiety and distraction, I was initially apprehensive about starting. However, Rick's gym has become a safe haven where I can train in peace, allowing me to focus better. Despite my initial concerns about performing the workouts well, Rick reassured me that we would begin at an appropriate level and gradually progress. I highly recommend Rick!
A Personal Trainer’s trainer. I’m a trainer and Vitality is one of the best gyms I’ve ever seen, certainly in Los Angeles and Rick is one of the finest trainers out there. Fantastic equipment and strength building workout. Also extremely helpful with dietary guidance. Real results. You won’t be disappointed.
I wanted strength training that makes a real difference, and that's exactly what I got. Rick's approach is personalized, efficient, and effective. My weight is dropping, muscle mass is increasing, and I feel stronger and better overall. Rick provides just the right mix of coaching, attention to detail, challenge and encouragement. He's good company, too. Highly recommended!
Vitality Training is a winner! Rick will take great care of you. In just 2 months I have significantly improved my posture, overall strength and most importantly, I enjoy much more energy during my workday. I intend to continue every month. Money well spent!!
Rick Staddon came highly recommended to me when I was searching for healing of intractable lower back pain. His studio is filled with “state of the art” equipment that targets specific muscles. He created a great workout for me. Gratefully my back pain is gone and, in the process, my entire body has gotten stronger. My golf game, skiing, hiking, swimming and physical endurance have improved. I am now measuring progress through “inches gained in muscle and inches lost all over.” You don’t need back pain for Rick to transform your body… his expertise and knowledge can change anyone’s life.
Rick Staddon is not just an amazing trainer, but an amazing human being. He has giving me so much wisdom, insight and coaching on what I need to do to regain my overall body strength. He developed a training routine targeting areas of my body I wanted to improve. He is consistent and careful with his coaching, ensuring I am using the correct form to get the best results. I started working out with him at his gym Vitality Personal training 30 days ago and I am extremely happy with the results. I have doubled my strength and stamina and feel healthy and strong! As a result of what he has done for me and the time he spent with me, my body has completely transformed, even in my late 50s. Rick’s training will guide me to reach my fitness goals!
My body is literally transforming and I am so greatful to work with Rick to achieve my physical goals. Rick gives 100% full attention to me while we have our sessions. The facility, equipment and training is top notch!
Rick has a variety of well-maintained machines in an impeccably clean gym. There are enough machines to vary the workouts. Rick knows how hard to push me and is careful to make sure I have the correct form so I get the best results from each exercise. I have chronic back problems and he knows how to help me get it stronger without injury. Rick is also an interesting guy to hang out with which makes the workouts go easier.
Rick creates a vibe that allows me to move through my workout in a smooth meditative way while still being deeply challenged physically. This is rare in my experience.
In addition he has a broader array of equipment than any Super Slow gym I’ve been to.
If you already do Super Slow strength training you owe it to yourself to check out Vitality Personal Training and to see and feel what it’s like to work with Rick.
If you’ve never done or heard of Super Slow you owe it to yourself to try it. It can be life changing!
I’m 41 years old I sit behind a desk eight hours a day and when I’m not behind my desk I’m chasing my two kids around. Juggling family and work it’s difficult to find time to consistently exercise. I noticed Vitality Personal Training driving by and took a look at their website. After a demo class I decided to give it a go. I’ve been working out two days a week at Vitality for the last 2 1/2 months and I am very happy with the results. It is as advertised, 30-minute intense workouts in a private gym. Rick, the owner is extremely knowledgeable about fitness, nutrition and an all-around really nice guy. The gym is fresh and clean with high-end specialized machines. Not your typical gym machines.
Since I started, I’m feeling far more flexible, my posture is better, I’m stronger, I have more energy and I look forward to working out. I’m happy that I found Vitality Personal Training and to have found time to consistently exercise.
Rick's individualized workout routine has been great for me. I feel stronger and more energetic. It is amazing in a short period of time how much strength I have gained
I have been working out with Rick at Vitality Personal Training for about five months. He has customized my training and ensures proper technique on each exercise. The sessions are challenging and yet fun, as Rick is supportive, encouraging and conversant. He is passionate about health and fitness and this is evidenced by the high quality machines in his gym. As my sessions are outcome focused my improvement is continual - gaining muscle, reducing fat, increasing strength, and improving posture. My wish to continue is testament to the high regard and trust I place in Rick.
