The Training Habit

Came here for Stevie’s yoga class, and it was great!
First, directions: TTH is by Main St., not on the sky Street. My iPhone sent me to the wrong place. TTH next to the atomic ballroom and a mixed martial arts studio.
The yoga class is a great workout and helped me reduce stress at the same time. I highly recommend it!

I have been a member here since they first opened and I love it here!
I take the group class 4X a week and I have seen such a significant difference in my body! The group classes are small which is so great because it allows the trainers to focus on each of us individually and to make sure we are doing the workouts properly.
I feel like we’re a family and really enjoy every single trainer from Kai to Sarkis to Ali. They are easy to talk to and so motivating.
The prices are incredibly reasonable and worth every penny. I would recommend The training habit to anyone who wants to start a new workout routine with some experienced trainers!

I have been person training Kai at The Training Habit in Irvine for my wedding for the past 3 months. I was lucky enough find them on Class Pass. The first day was a humbling experience as my body was pretty sore from simple movements. The workouts are hard and challenging but with repetition and adjustments become doable. In month 1 I I became stronger and my arms and shoulders definitely improved for the better. As I cleaned my eating up I saw the progression speed up. I am headed into month 3 and I did fitting and so far the dress is fitting how it needs to. In 2 months Ill be getting married so if the trend continues I know with the help of Kai and The Training Habit I will get into my dress exactly how I envision it. Would recommend 100% for anyone looking to get trained by great people!

I am beyond glad I came across this gym!!! I have been doing group classes for about 3 months now, and I started personal training recently with Kai. It is impossible to even have a favorite class with these group classes… All of the trainers are incredible, have great energy, and make you feel right at home. But most importantly they limit the group classes so thatyou maystill get individual attention which id great cause i deff. Need it… When i first started I had absolutely no fitness background I never really Ever worked out so you can just imagine how terrible my form was. I am still a working progress, but thanks to this amazing team I have seen all the difference& am stoked to see even more progress adding my personal training with the lovely Kai. & not to forget the prices are affordable and they are extremely flexible with schedules… This gym definitely gives me something to look forward to after a long stressful day. So many positive, and motivating people to be around.

To say that The Training Habit is awesome would be a complete understatement. Kai and Sarkis (fit couple alert!) have a fabulous team here who are trainers and lead booty bootcamps throughout the week. Here’s a snapshot of the schedule:
Monday and Wednesdays: Booty Bootcamp by Amy Greene. Not only does she have a ridiculous, rockin’ bod that will make you totally jelly, but she is hilarious! Great energy and will really push you because she believes in you even when you don’t believe in yourself! This girl is all about your form. You can do something slowly if you’ve got great form.
Tuesdays: Arms and Abs with Ali. This class is solid. Really focuses in on your core and your arms. Ali pushes you, but also recognizes your limits. She is good at reading people so if you’re struggling she always says it’s okay to go at your own pace.
Thursday: This used to be yoga, however right now it’s a booty boot camp taught by Sarkis. I haven’t been able to go myself yet, but I plan to! I hear all great things about it!
Friday: I haven’t been able to make it out for a Friday class either, but plan to. Word on the street is Friday booty bootcamps are always tough.
Saturday: Michelle teaches this day and boy is she a little firecracker! Love her energy and she even does part of the workout with you! Be warned, her classes are a little more hardcore with the cardio and weights, but it’s a great balance and completely doable. Take it from someone who seriously hates cardio with a passion (with the exception of dance)!
Best of all, these class are high intensity and short! You’re done in about 45 minutes and feeling so great! Classes are kept small (about 10 max) to keep the focus on everyone. You are welcome to go to the gym a little early to utilize the treadmills and weights prior to class if you choose. I look forward to seeing results from this incredible gym!
Thank you Kai and Sarkis for fostering an efficient and comfortable place to work out! Wishing you all the best building your business. Keep up the great work!

Such a great gym and team of trainers! I have been training there for 1 month and already am achieving my goals. Kai brings so much fun and energy to working out — it makes you really look forward to the workout sessions.

I’ve been taking the group classes and love it. Each person gets the full attention of the trainer with only 10 people per class. Everyone is very friendly and the trainers know how to push you the right amount to make you work hard without getting hurt. I’d recommend anyone trying to lose weight or tone up to try this gym out. I loved the atmosphere of the gym so much that I started taking personal training with Kai, the head trainer.

Clean, keen and awesome job with all kinds of equipment ranging from strength training to dynamic resistance intervals, core & cardio and pilates. I highly recommend checking out this gym. The staff is very well-​read in the industry and they have proven results. Check out their website– it is always being updated with new and fun classes!

UPDATE!
My last session with Kai was two months ago and it has now been about 8 months since I started with her. I have lost THIRTY pounds since my first session with her. Yep… not a typo.
*My stats as of June 2013: Down 17 in, down 9.6% body fat, and down 19 pounds in 6 months.
Since my last weigh in with Kai (at the end of June) I have lost another 11 lbs and can REALLY see a difference in my body. My pant size in now a size ⁵⁄₆!!! I am beyond embarrassed at how much weight I have gained over the last few years and I’m so damn proud of the weight I have lost so far this year. I absolutely could NOT have had these results without Kai’s help.
Because of Kai I have a healthy relationship with food and actually ENJOY working out both at the gym and at home. In the months that I trained with her she taught me a ton of workouts that dont involve a machine so I am able to do them in the comfort of my own home. so if I only have 20 – 30 minutes to work out before/​after work I can still get a crazy intense workout without driving to the gym. it’s awesome!
I can’t thank Kai enough for her wealth of knowledge in everything that has to do with working out, losing weight, and being healthy. I wouldn’t have these results if it wasn’t for her. I cant wait to see what my body will look like in these next couple of months since now I am focusing on shedding only a couple more pounds and really just sculpting certain areas.
Thank you Kai for helping me feel good about my body again! Hiring you to train me was one of the best decisions I EVER made.

I began working out with Kai back in 2013 before The Training Habit opened. I had learned about her through Unilocal.
Personal training sessions with Kai were what I needed because they kept me accountable. The sessions are fun because we chat about various things and it flies by. We do different things each time so it doesn’t get boring. She challenges me to try things my brain tells me I can’t do, but luckily my body begs to differ.
Within months of starting my sessions with Kai, I was down 7 lbs, had reduced my body fat % and lost inches. It’s easy to stay motivated when you actually are seeing results coming in. My legs now have definition (did you know your hamstrings are supposed to show?) My arms are more toned and stronger. I can do mountain climbers and planks which I used to see people do and would assume I couldn’t do them. I’m convinced my butt got lifted too! She really works on sculpting your figure.
Kai is very inspiring. She has committed her life to fitness and she has really helped me on my journey towards making a slow but permanent shift towards a healthier lifestyle. My training sessions really kick my ass but I love it and look forward to being challenged during each and every session and pushing my body even when my mind starts telling me that I can’t do something & that I should quit, over and over my body keeps proving that I can!

Ive been in a big workout rut lately so i decided to get up and get to the training habit. The gym is brand new and clean. All the equipment is pristine. Sarkis trained me incorporating the treadmill dumbbells and kettle bells. You definitely get your heart rate up and burn a lot of calories. Its a great start to ur day and ill definitely be coming back!
