Ultimate Health Personal Training - Los Angeles, California

Jordan Rada

As someone that has struggled with chronic pain and mobility issues for many years, I was at a loss as to how I could regain the physical strength I had lost from being inactive for a long period of time. I found John while researching for potential personal trainers to help me get back on track. What made John stand out was his experience working with chronic pain patients and patients with injuries. From day 1, John was always attentive to my concerns and tailored a fitness program that was doable, but also challenged me so that I could regain the muscle strength I had lost. After only a few weeks with John, my strength and mobility improved vastly. Not only that, but I experienced a vast reduction in my pain.

John is one of a kind and a great person. He genuinely cares about his clients and is committed to making a difference in their lives. And for that, he has my highest recommendation.

I originally decided to work with John because, as a writer, I tend to live a fairly sedentary lifestyle. Aware of the dangers associated with this, I felt I had to work towards getting into shape, and after extensive research on trainers all throughout Los Angeles, John at Ultimate Health seemed like the best candidate.

I clearly made the right choice, because I’ve had the privilege of training with John for about eight years, both doing in-person training sessions, and more recently, virtual training sessions. Through the course of our work together, John has helped me get in-shape, work on my weight, improve my diet, and just generally expanded my knowledge about physical fitness. I’ve managed to break out of many of my bad habits and shift to a more active lifestyle. Also, surprisingly, training with John seemed to not only have an effect physically, but also mentally and psychologically. Getting in shape and regularly exercising has helped my mood to improve and my work productivity to increase.

John has tremendous knowledge and experience in the personal training realm. Using these skills, he’s been able to craft an exercise regimen tailored specifically for me. It hasn’t been easy, and the workouts have grown tougher as we’ve progressed through increasing levels of difficulty, but the process has remained extremely rewarding.

One exciting bonus: John is a great conversationalist and your sessions will be interspersed with talk about topics ranging from that week’s TV shows… to cutting-edge advancements in theoretical physics!

Highly recommend John at Ultimate Health!

Sometimes it's important to reiterate how great something is.

I've been going to John at Ultimate Health for training three times every week for over three years now. I've gotten stronger and stronger over time, constantly hitting new fitness goals. As someone who had two knee surgeries in high school, I've always had a lot of pain. Until I started with John. He got my knees so strong that last year I was able to start going to spin class, something I never thought I would be able to do. I've learned self defense in kickboxing, run faster than I ever have before from doing sprints, and am constantly impressed with how body continues to get stronger. He teaches me how to eat right, what's good and bad for my body (especially as the fitness and food "trends" change), and is constantly helping me learn how to do better.

I drive to Ultimate Health from West Hollywood and the drive is easy and well worth it. There is off-street gated parking (always a good thing in LA)! The gym has a shower for when you need it, and I love the privacy of working out in a private gym.
Since I started, I've referred so many friends and everyone has been as happy as I have.

I recommend John at Ultimate Health more now than ever before, and will continue going to him as long as I possibly can.

I've been training with John 2x/week for about 7 months and love it! I've gotten so much stronger, lost weight, and gained confidence in moving my body in new ways. As someone who grew up dancing I never thought I would go to a personal trainer but John led me into the process gradually and is encouraging. He pushes me to work hard but I've never felt overwhelmed during a session. Highly recommend!

I am stronger with less pain: I was a marathoner and serious amateur athlete for the past 30 years. I had to retire from working out after, considerable knee pain. My doctor recommended that I start to exercise, again.

My daughter had great success with John Diaz, with Ultimate Heath so, I decided to give him a shot. I have now been working out with Ultimate Health for 6 months, virtually.

The unique skill John provides is deep knowledge of alternative approaches to exercise. He provides variety to strengthen me, with little pain. I cannot overstate how much better I feel working with Ultimate Health!

I began training with John in 2011 following physical therapy for a broken leg. I was also a very overweight woman. I have been training with John 3x/week for 1 hr each session for more than 18 months now. In that time, I've lost 80 lbs and several clothing sizes, and I am continuing to lose on my way to a 100 lb goal. I have gained strength, lean muscle mass, and confidence! I have been able to summit not just one, but two 14,000' peaks since I began working with John. John is so experienced; he knows exactly what to do in terms of both diet and cardio/strength training. His gym is bright and spotless, and parking is free and secure. I feel completely comfortable in every way at the gym and in his care. His workouts are never boring, and he is a a lot of fun. I highly recommend John and Ultimate Health Personal Training Center!

John is the best trainer out there. He is very passionate about fitness and health. But, most of all he is passionate and caring about helping people to live a healthier life style.

What set him aside from the other trainers, especially in your local gyms, was he knows what he's doing and was able to explain to me the why and how it functions for all the exercises and food choices. He has years of experience and takes into consideration my age, strength and injuries, this is not to say he does not push me to work hard and feel great! His knowledge is remarkable!! He wasn't joking about contacting me outside of the sessions. He called, text, Facebook all the time to see how I was doing and keeping me accountable. He really cared to see me living a healthier lifestyle. I don't see that with many trainers. Most trainers I see only talk to their clients during the sessions and nothing more.

John has been in the Universal City location for years training people of all ages. John is a very caring and fun person that walks the walk of exercising himself and eating well.

If you are looking to get in better shape and learn how to be healthier, John in your guy/trainer...you will not be disappointed.

I first started going to Ultimate Health because I wanted to gain weight and build muscle. John created a personal plan for me that included it exercise, weight training, and a healthy diet. John is a very knowledgeable experienced trainer and takes personal interest in his clients. I am extremely happy with the results I am seeing in such a short period of time and I highly recommend him.
