Level 9 Personal Training

This review is based on customer service alone.
I typically don’t leave bad reviews but honestly I was super «salty» to have taken the time to meet up with Jed on his first availability, showed up, ON TIME, was really excited and nervous to finally be able to tackle some things physically with the help of someone knowledgable and was vulnerable about where I was being stopped in my life due to my body/​strength insecurities. — Except, after our first consult, he never even so much as emailed me to say «Hey, I don’t think we are a good fit.» I followed up with an email to him. Still… Three weeks later, nothing. I told him I would be willing to start within a week or two. So I waited around until I finally had to call someone else.
I guess I should say, thanks for the initial work out. It was great and he seemed super knowledgable… However, initially, I took the lack of follow-​up personal as if I said or did something wrong, but now just consider it to be poor customer service — which is hella annoying.

Jed is an amazing trainer! I used to work out ay the gym by myself and I wasn’t getting the results I wanted. After my initial training session I was hooked immediately. Jed created workouts personally for me that focused on the areas I wanted to work on and every session with him is different. I have already noticed such a big difference in terms of strength and cardio in the few weeks I have worked with him. I have a very busy schedule and he always does his best to work around my hours to make sure we get our training sessions in. His is highly accommodating, very personable, and very encouraging. He is the type of training that pushes you to go farther than you think you can, and encourages you every step of the way.
Through working with Jed I can now hold a plank for over 2 minutes with ease, which was something I never thought was possible. He is always very positive, smiling, and makes me feel great about even my smallest accomplishments.
I truly enjoy having Jed as my personal trainer!

I bought my first 10 session package after my first (free) workout with Jed. There was no question he was the trainer for me. His outdoor workouts are in a convenient location with a beautiful view. He is constantly switching things up and teaching me new moves I never could have thought of myself. It’s been 10 sessions now and I have seen a huge difference in my endurance, sleep, waist line, and over all energy. I’ve even been motivated to work out on my own (that’s a shocker for me!) I have signed up for another 10 sessions and I know I will see even more improvements over the coming weeks. Jed is great at keeping me motivated to do the best I can, which has exceeded even my own expectations.

Before training with Jed, I hadn’t worked out in months! I never really pushed myself, mostly because I never knew what to do and because I never enjoyed it. I’ve been a member of several gyms, but only used the same machines. I started with Jed only a month ago. In the beginning I sucked! I would get winded jogging or even walking up a few stairs. Now, I feel stronger and better all around. I even do the stairs on my own sometimes on off days! I actually look forward to sweating out the daily stressors of life. Jed customizes each training session to fit your personal goals and needs (and affordable too). He focuses on YOU and your FORM, which I recently found really makes a difference. I’m looking forward to crushing it in the morning! (Oh and he has the most flexible times to fit your schedule!!)

Reaching personal fitness goals doesn’t get any better than this. I was looking for someone who could help me get my butt back into shape after all of these years of (all things debauchery here) and I had called around a few places and spoke briefly to different trainers about my plans and as soon as I spoke with Jed, I knew he was it. He’s passionate about what he does and it’s immediately apparent on the phone. It’s not the easiest thing in the world to get your mind right, in order to get your body right, but Jed makes it so much more manageable! He’s incredibly supportive and at times if you feel like giving up, he’s right there to push you forward. I’m already feeling a million+ times better than before I started and now I’m always inspired to kill it in the workouts! I know I made the right choice and I’m happy to know that with Jed’s help this CAN and WILL be an actual lifestyle change that makes the conscious effort so worthwhile.
P. S. free trial session
P. S.S. training is OUTDOORS! Can’t beat it.

I have been training with Jed for about 9 months now and I’ve never been this strong in my life. I originally started working with Jed to lose baby weight after baby #2, which is notoriously harder than losing baby weight after #1, however working out with Jed promoted not only weight loss and building lean muscle but also envisioning and living a healthy lifestyle. I have way more energy now that I work out regularly with him and I feel great. I am more fun and patient with my kids and husband. Training is an all around great addition for anyone who is thinking about it. Jed is also a very professional and personable trainer and I would recommend him to anyone to help achieve weight loss or fitness goals.

If you are in search of a personal trainer, Jed is the person to work with. I had been contemplating working with a personal trainer for months and my first experience with one was at a 24 hours gym. They gave me a free session and after a full hour workout, I just wasn’t impressed. So I looked to Unilocal,typed in personal training and my results were mostly health clubs. However, I wasn’t looking to join another club, I wanted to work one on one. Then I came across level 9 fitness, saw the rave reviews, saw that there was a free trial workout, so I went for it. I sent an email to level 9 fitness really late on a Saturday night and I got a response shortly after. Jed told me that he usually didn’t work on Sundays but he’d make an exception for me. That following morning I got my butt whooped. Jed left no doubt in my mind that he was legit and talented. I am now two weeks in his program and I continue to get my butt whooped. The workouts are so challenging and catered to you. The one thing I was worried about when looking for a trainer was whether theyd be able to give me something more challenging and complex than a few squats with some dumbbells. Jed exceeded my expectations! And that’s that he doesn’t work in a gym with all these machines, he works outside right at the beach. The view by itself is inspiring and motivating. I look forward to every session and I can’t wait to see my long term progress!

I’ve been training with Jed for six months and it’s been nothing short of spectacular. Jed helps me focus on my goals, creates workouts that target my problem areas, and helps me feel stronger and fitter than ever. I love it! It’s my first time working with a personal trainer and I couldn’t be happier that I found Jed.

Jed is awesome! My husband and I have only completed 3 sessions, but just committed to 30 more, and are both excited to keep going. Jed keeps us motivated and having fun. And while we are both hurting the next day, we are always laughing at our inability to walk normal, and ready for the next session. Can’t wait to see what is ahead for us… :-)

I feel like I won the lottery in finding Jed as a personal trainer. I was struggling to find a trainer that fit my budget, my schedule and who I could trust to take my health goals seriously.
Now understand that I was hesitant to work with a trainer outside of a gym but it sounded so enticing to be able to workout outdoors. Plus when I found out he offered a FREE trial session, I figured I had nothing to lose.
It’s been a couple weeks now and one of the health goals I referred to is prepping for my wedding day and I feel like Jed gets how important my goal is. He has been providing me with such a kick butt workout since day 1 and that makes me feel so accomplished and like I’m getting more than my money’s worth!
He seems to have mastered his trade and can work with any fitness level, I highly recommend giving Jed a shot.

I’ve been training with Jed for a few months now and I can honestly say it’s the best decision I could have made for my health and fitness goals. I was nervous at first to try personal one on one training, but I absolutely love it. It makes you accountable and that alone is huge.
The free trial session was totally awesome because Jed got a feel for my goals and what type of training suit me best. He worked with me to customize a package that was reasonable and affordable even for a broke college student like myself. The workouts are always fun and varied and I never feel bored. Not to mention, outdoor workouts are awesome and you can’t beat the view of the ocean from the park.
In regards to Jed, I don’t think I’ve ever met a more positive guy who is so genuinely in love with their job. He absolutely pushes you, but you in a fun and positive way. Overall, I’m leaner, stronger and I have a lot more energy which is exactly what I was hoping for.

Seriously, just do it. Give Jed a call set up a consultation. I started going to him Spring/​Summer. Eating right has always been a problem for me, and Jed helps you get on the right track. Ive been making strides in my nutrition, but i can definitely see changes in my body! I feel stronger, and my endurance is improving! I have Jed to thank for that! He’s great at customizing your workouts. Tell him what your goals are he will help you get there. You gotta want it! Dont double think it, go for it! Jed believes in you :)

I came to Jed about a month before my wedding with goals to primarily tone up my back and arms before the big day. Even with such a short timeline, Jed made me feel confident that I could get the results that I wanted. He curated training sessions to fit my goals and ability, and within just a few sessions, I could feel myself getting stronger and saw visible results. I loved exercising outside, focusing on body weight and resistance training (as I have never been a weight lifter or gym-​goer), and I enjoyed that so much of what I learned, I could take back and do in my own home. He is great at motivating you in a positive way, challenging you to your limits, and I really appreciated his emphasis on listening to your own body. He was super flexible with scheduling and even met me for a session on the 4^th of July for an extra session a week before my wedding. I cannot recommend Jed enough if you are looking for a personal trainer that is positive and will create a training plan that is customized to you and your goals. I am so much stronger in just over a month and felt confident and toned on my wedding day. I even got compliments on my abs on our honeymoon!

Jed is an absolute awesome personal trainer all around! I started going to Jed when I was at my absolute worst shape. I remember talking to him over the phone before we met and he sounded excited to help me reach my goals which made my decision to train with him easier. The good thing is you can do a trial workout so you can see if it’s a good fit for you! In the past few months that I have trained with Jed I already feel the strongest I’ve felt, have so much more energy and I can see so much definition in my body! He customized each workout to my body and he kept in mind my physical limitations. His workouts are always different and challenging and the best part about it is that you train in the beautiful outdoors with an ocean view! Jed is all around a positive person and as he says ‘I am not a cheerleader trainer’ which is amazing because when he says great job he really means it! I looked forward to every training session and I loved feeling stronger every time! I have learned so much from Jed about fitness and how important it is! He never let me give up and even when I had set backs he made sure I stayed focused and motivated on my goal! I truly felt that he personally cared for my health and well being and I am so happy I had the opportunity to train with him! Thanks Jed!

Jed at Level 9 Fitness is 5 STARS all around!
He’s exactly what I was looking for in a personal trainer. I had been looking in Long Beach for a while but never found a good fit until Jed.
I wanted to work out, outside of the gym and take advantage of our beautiful LB weather we have year-​round. (And by the way my first session was in the rain and I loved it!) The peaceful view of the ocean on the bluff is a great motivator to show up and get your workout in with some sunshine.
I believe the most important aspect is the rapport you have with your trainer which determines if you’ll be motivated to stay with it. From the first phone call I feel like he cared about me as a client. He was just so easy to work with, got me scheduled, and took good notes about what I wanted out of the training sessions.
Each session since has been tailored exactly to what my goals are. He pushes you beyond your limit but in a way that’s safe for you. I look forward to every workout because he’s a great guide (fun personality) and takes notes of what your body can handle and builds each week from there. He’s constantly studying your moves to make sure you have perfect form to get the most out of each workout while maintaining safe postures.
Bottom line, he is such a positive motivator and you really feel cared about as a client.
I’ve been going for two weeks and love it; I wish I could go every day! So far I’ve survived the workouts, have already seen improvements/​results (toning up) and hope to keep getting stronger.
YOU WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED!!!
Go workout at Level 9 with Jed you will be so much happier with yourself, sleep better and will get results.

Maimonides said… «Give a man a fish and he will eat for a day, Teach a man to fish and he will eat for a lifetime.» Jed doesn’t give you a fish and then send you on your way. He teaches you to fish so you can continue to work on your goals when your not training with him.
He can often be heard saying «I’m not always going to be here» and your reminded that you are being empowered with every work out. He doesn’t use fancy, expensive equipment that you become dependent on to train. He uses the terrain around you and teaches you literally thousands of combinations you can do.
You never feel bored because you never know what he is going to come up with next. Its fluid and flowing from beginning to end and you leave feeling energized never exhausted. Jed has this innate sense of how to encourage you to get better and fight harder for your goals without ever making you feel weak or belittled.
After the initial 6 week boot camp, everyone in the class was motivated and ready to continue. Jed didn’t try to sign us up for some ridiculous expensive private training regimen. I heard of a friend who was forced to pay for 8 weeks ahead of time through another trainer and she wasn’t even getting nutritional support. Jed understood my budget needs and worked with myself and the other girls who wanted to keep going and made it work.
Jed is a real deal compassionate and passionate trainer. This is not a job for him and he shows it in everything he does!

Me and my partner started working with Jed after a year of not doing any cardio. I am a yoga /​Pilates chick… and avoid intense training at all costs. After a few workouts with Jed we started to feel super good, we started to see our bodies change and our energy levels have gone up too! We work out twice a week with jed, our mornings cant start better and we are having a blast. Jed also has helped my 55 year old mom when she visits and she felt like a million bucks confident and strong.(you can see pics of her on the site)
All the workouts are different, we always push ourselves and Jed is super encouraging! definitely would recommend!

Just finished up a wonderful 6 week bootcamp experience with Jed! He is really knowledgeable and passionate about fitness and it shows. Every single class (3 times a week for 6 weeks) was totally different, and overall it was progressive (no plateaus or boredom here!). He doesn’t judge for making modifications and lets you go at your own pace, yet still gives you enough pressure to make you push yourself. He’s cool, fun and friendly (it doesn’t hurt to have a little eye candy to get you through your workout either), and I can’t wait to start a new session! Thanks Jed! Ps: Here’s a shoutout to Janice, his yoga instructor partner! Great addition to the workout!!!

I called Jed, the owner of this business on a Saturday afternoon. I was looking for a personal trainer. He answered the phone and asked me to hang on but he hung up. I called back since I wasn’t sure whether he’d hung up on me or my signal had dropped. He never answered.

I have recently arrived to Cali from London, UK and wanted to find a personal trainer to work with, as we all know this can be a hard decision to make to ensure we find the best to suit our requirements. When I came across Jed Miller at Level 9 Personal Training I felt very positive that Jed could help me achieve my goals.
I am 4 weeks in to my program, 3 times per week & feeling slightly addicted. Jed is fantastic, motivating and has a positive approach. You won’t get bored as each session is different, the time flys by!
I am also recovering from a mild knee tendon issue & Jed has kept this in mind during every workout making sure that we slowly re-​build the muscle around it to make it strong again & I have to say I am shocked at how much stronger it is from the great workouts. I wasted lots of money in the UK on physio when all I needed was a great Personal Trainer.
Don’t hesitate to contact Jed, you won’t be disappointed! Be prepared to feel the burn, it’s hardcore but you feel awesome after!
If my friends were living here I would get them to all sign up!
Good luck!
