Winning Image Fitness

Tried David’s cycling class today and had such a great time! I haven’t cycled in forever and it was my husband’s first time, and David was extremely welcoming– he took the time to make us feel at ease and to make sure we were comfortable at going at our own pace. The people there in the class with us are also so friendly! We will definitely be back again to try out different classes that they have.

The team at Winning Image is amazing. I joined my first 8 week challenge and it has definitely made a positive impact on my life. I’m learning how to eat better, working out consistently 4 – 5 times a week. I appreciate that Maria and all the trainers truly invest their time in you. Teaching you how to work out correctly. To get the most out of your work out. I now look forward to my work outs. I have more energy and feel better about my. I will continue working out at Winning Image, everyone makes you feel welcome there.

This review is long over due. What keeps me coming back here 2 years later? Warm, down to earth vibe here, very welcoming, a place where everybody knows your name. Excellent, knowledgeable trainers, a variety of group classes — something for everyone, and the owner, Maria, who is constantly striving to bring more. Home of the original 8 Week Challenge, (there are imitators out there), is unparalleled in the amount of support and information including the info in the nutritional classes. I’m 25 lbs down and counting thanks to applying the nutritional info and encouragement. Come on by and try!

I recommend zumba class with Naheli on Wednesday at 7:30 Friday at 6 and Sunday at 9. She helps people follow thru the class. Best Zumba instructor I have known. Best Zumba class in Downey. Ample parking. $ 10 per class but 5 classes per $ 40, 10 classes for $ 70 and 20 classes for $ 120.

The vibe of this gym is anyone being welcome with open arms not treating people like there just another member #. This private gym has experienced trainers, group instructors, and exercise equipment most gyms don’t possess. Come in for any aspect of fitness

Our first actual workout. Michael was our trainer. My husband and I are taking it all in

I recommend this gym to everyone that is looking for a gym! I love all the classes they are affordable and great trainers! I recommend all the cycling classes! If you want to feel that soreness the next day I would recommend any class with Leonor or Mike (High intensity circuit or down to the core) !! I couldn’t walk for days lol, but totally worth it! The owner Maria is super knowledgeable with fitness and nutrition, and really helpful :)
I joined the 8 week challenge twice and I give it 5 stars ! All the trainers are very involved and supportive! You will definitely feel a difference after you complete the challenge! I recommend to everyone that really wants to learn how to start to workout and start a fit lifestyle!

I went to Winnimg Image and absolutely Loved it! From the moment I walked in I was greeted immidately by Connie, with I warm accepting smile, & a very Friendly Hello!
I attended a class w/​Monica!!! Not only was her class amazing it had been exactly what I had been looking for!
Although alot, & when I say alot I mean ALL of the other wonderful women attending the same class were more advanced than I was, yet I never once did I feel out of place!
Monica is a wonderful instructor, her motovation is extremely POSITIVE, & her instructions & knowledge of the equipment were very precise!!!
I will be returnin for the next class!

Looking for a great place to workout in Downey? This is it! Don’t go to a big gym like LA Fitness and feel like a nobody. The winning Image is a personalized, friendly, environment where they will treat you like family. There are so many different classes like yoga, spinning, weights, zumba, etc… all the trainers are enthusiastic and will take you to your fitness goals. Personally I took two 8 week challenges and lost over 15 lbs. But the best part was getting healthy. Recently I went to San Francisco the line for the cable cars was rediculous so instead I rented a bicycle and went up and down the hills with no problems. This can become one of the best health care decisions you can make if you chose to take the challenge. See you at the gym

The Winning Image is AWESOME. !!! I’ve been doing the 8-​week challenge, in the beginning it seemed nearly impossible to do the workouts, but with the help and encouragement of the trainers Daniel and Leonor always right there to correct my form and give me that extra push when I need it! Also with the help of Maria’s Diet/​Nutrition class I’Am eating healthy, have more energy, his Grandma is on her way to a new life style ! I will continue to workout (I’M IN IT TO WIN IT). This is my second home :).

Love, love this Gym. Had my doubts when I first joined 8 wks ago but the 8 wk challenge opened my eyes to a whole new lifestyle, a whole new me and a feeling of accomplishment. I learned how to eat better, I found my inner strength even batteling severe anemia, and wasn’t ashamed That I had body flaws, nobody judges you here. I thank Leonor for that extra push, Daniel for encouragement and Maria for opening my eyes and being there when I needed kind words. The Winning Image is my gym. my home away from home.

For those of you thinking of driving over to this gym, it is well worth it! Let me tell you this, all the trainers here are all knowledgable and most importanly certified! they have convenient classes to fit into anyones busy life schedule… i joined this gym in july for there 8week challenge and can honestly say its been one hell of a great experience ! Maria’s knowledge in nutrition has opened my eyes to how many countless hours ive spent in other gyms trying to acheive the results that i wanted and only to fail .this gym is great!

Amazing!!! I joined the 8 week challenge not knowing what to expect & I must say it has been a life changing experience. Maria and her team are full of knowledge and truly care. This gym is like no other! I look forward to my workouts!

I completed the 8 week challenge yes! I did it! I will have to write a review about that later. Now I’m just taking classes and they are really good. Down to the core and the boot camp class are challenging. Hurts so good! No commitment. 10bucks a class or 40 for 5 classes. Only 4 stars because I wish they had more classes on Sunday. For now you can take Zumba on Sundays

Absolutely fabulous place to work out. Staff are friendly and motivating. My life has changed since I began training with Maria, she believed in me and inspired me to change to a healthy lifestyle. I love the spin classes, you will find people of all shapes and sizes are welcome. I actually look forward to going. Lots of other classes available. I love this place:)

I’ve been doing the 8week challenge and I’ve really enjoyed coming here. I’ve been to other gyms and I’ve felt intimidated by the trainers/​instructors but not here! Right when you get there you feel welcomed. If you’re a first timer they take the time to explain what you’ll be doing.
David’s cycling class on Wednesday nights is fun, best part is he plays all my jams: D

Great place to work out. the friendly training staff makes everyone feel welcome! I am happy to be part of the winning Image family and have recommended the gym to friends and family. I love the variety of early morning classes!

So, its been about 2 ½ years since my last review. What have I been waiting for? The Winning Image CONTINUES to amaze me and has brought so much happiness to my life. I am still a regular, I am still completely satisfied and I am STILL recommending this place to ANYONE who will listen! Come ON people! Step out of the little box you’re hiding in and come check this place out! Not only do they continue to have this awesome assortment of classes, they added an 8 Week Challenge which originally started back in April 2013. I was frustrated at how much I was working out but how little I was losing and decided to give it a try. For $ 320 I got 8 weeks worth of classes, personal training and health and nutrition classes. I lost enough weight to motivate my ass to try the NEXT 8 week challenge! As of today I am currently in the middle of my 5^th challenge (although I’ve been sick for a week and have a s@#t-load of classes to catch up on!) Since last April I have lost between 27 and 30 pounds (I LOVE chocolate so yeah… I fluctuate!) I am wearing a size 4 — 6 pants. CAN YOU FREAKEN BELIEVE THAT??? Down from a size 10−12…oh yeah baby! I can fit into my daughters clothes now! Not sure if SHE likes that though… ANYWAY… Maria and her awesome staff are wonderful. They bring so much fun and energy to the classes and challenges. They make you WANT to be there.
Thanks to the Winning Image I am a healthier, happier and much more confident 52 year old mama of 4.
And because of the 8 Week Challenges I’ve met some amazing people and made so many new friends. No one is here to judge. We are all here to help encourage and motivate you.
Thank you Maria, Gloria, Sylvia, Saida, JONI, Leonor, Daniel, David, Audrey and Monica. and CARLOS!!! If I forgot someone my apologies! I’m thankful to YOU TOO!!!
I love you guys!

The Winning Image team are AMAZING. The team is very welcoming to newcomers and the usuals. The instructors/​trainers know who you are, they know your name, they check in with you, ask how you are feeling and are always encouraging the members.
Stop by and check out the classes, check on Facebook and their website for their schedule.
I am very blessed to have found this place and would recommend it to anyone.

I love this place! Class are great! Personal training is even better. Highly recommend Cesar! He knows his stuff and pushes you hard! He even has a following of people that come to his classes all the time. That’s how good he is. If you sit down and chat with him hes got so much nutritional advice to help you out. He’s really passionate about helping out everyone.
Maria the owner is very nice and also offers alot of protein options in house which is great! Her cycling class on the weekends are great as well!
All of the trainers are very knowledgeable. Overall I would highly recommend.
