Group Fitness Classes in Placentia & Yorba Linda

I’ve been coming to NLPT the last two years and it’s been a great space and environment for me to stay strong, meet great people, and have top quality care. The owner really cares for his people and makes sure everyone is enjoying their experience!

Whether you want one on one training, group training, or need extra care for an injury, NLPT offers a great environment. The owner Sako has created a great atmosphere with friendly, competent trainers to make your health and fitness journey one of a kind! I appreciate what this space has given me. I've brought along my family and teammates, and they've enjoyed it as well!

Update: Ten months into training twice a week with Sarah, I now understand firsthand why strength and balance training is called one of the best ways to stay independent longer. My strength and everyday abilities have improved significantly. The math adds up beautifully, too: with my chronic health condition, every month I delay a move to assisted living like my mom's would pay for a full year of personal training at NLPT. Avoiding that move altogether would be priceless, of course!Special credit goes to the welcoming and motivating atmosphere at NLPT, and above all to Sarah, for genuinely caring and especially for helping me dramatically improve my poor balance, which unfortunately is a hallmark of my condition.TLDR: Give NLPT a try! You will not regret it!But if you want to keep reading, below is my experience with their group personal training program at about the three month mark.My 91 year old mom had to move into a senior living community last year, and witnessing firsthand how quickly we can all deteriorate has been sadly eye opening. Around the same time, I entered the seventh decade of my life with very little experience in any type of strenuous workout routine, a serious chronic health condition, and a year old foot and ankle injury. My experience with my mom gave me a strong desire to do all I can to avoid ever being a burden to my family plus I've also had this nagging desire to once again be able to hold a deep squat... barefoot!! (If you're in your 60s, 70s, or higher and have lost that skill, there is no reason you can't get it back.)Still, it took me months to build up the courage to arrange my free personal workout session. Thankfully, Malarie, the office manager, made signing up a breeze and my free session turned out to be with Bri. She's really good! And honestly, I have not looked back since.If you try the free session and decide to join their group personal training program, know that you will immediately become a personal project for whichever trainer you're matched up with. You'll get your own personalized folder with a detailed schedule of every routine, every pound, every rep and set... the works. They keep track of everything and make sure you're progressing appropriately. All you have to do is simply show up and follow directions for an hour a couple of times a week!Sarah, the trainer I was matched up with, is amazing and really knows her stuff (as I'm sure they all do). But what I especially appreciate about Sarah is her wonderful wry sense of humor which is perfect because I complain a little too much! Needless to say, she handled those very painful first couple of weeks like a champ. I won't lie, it wasn't easy. She did empathize (and we laughed a little) but she always stays on task and we always move on! She's also very smart about designing my routines around my physical limitations, but I love that she's relentless in helping me push beyond my "limits." Now that I'm well on my way to holding that deep squat, I've shared with her that I really want to be able to skip steps again on my way up the stairs. I can already tell she's started weaving that goal into my routine (aka the *dreaded* weighted step ups)!Pro tip: if you ever run into the owner, Sako (and chances are you will, as he's often walking around checking things out with a big smile on his face, just like a proud papa), ask him why he got into this line of work. You'll quickly realize that helping people get fit and strong has been a lifelong passion of his since a very young age. That right there was all I personally needed to get excited about having joined. And it must be the reason why the people who work here all seem to love being here.Also I can't end this review without giving a special shoutout to Kristin, one of the trainers, whose bubbly personality rubs off on me at every session, even though I don't even train with her!

I’ve had such a great experience at this gym! The trainers are professional and supportive. The atmosphere is welcoming and motivating, and everyone is genuinely friendly. Highly recommend!

Been coming to this gym for a few months and I’ve loved every single workout class! The coaches are warm, welcoming, and supportive. They remember my name which makes me feel special (hah), and they give guidance/feedback to ensure you’re maintaining proper form or pushing yourself just a little more - something I’m very appreciative of. The people who come here also give off great vibes. Highly recommend!

Super fun and welcoming people. The staff and class are always there to help and make sure you get what you need. Highly recommend.

The owners are nice people. I had a good experience.

can’t say enough great things about this gym! The atmosphere is welcoming, motivating, and positive, and you genuinely feel supported from the moment you walk in. The workouts are challenging but doable, and the coaches are encouraging, knowledgeable, and always willing to help. If you’re looking for a gym with great workouts, amazing people, and an environment that makes you actually want to work out, I highly recommend this place!

Even after 2 years this is my daily slice of heaven! The support, the kindness, and the push to do better everday is what keeps my coming back!

Great community, definitely the place to go if you want a great workout but also work with others towards their goals!

We had a great experience with No Limit Personal Training. The personal trainers, Garrett is knowledgeable, encouraging in helping my son’s improve. My son enjoyed the training sessions, gained confidence, and learned valuable skills along the way.The environment was positive, professional, and welcoming, we felt supported throughout our time there. We highly recommend No Limit to any student athletes looking for quality training and a supportive atmosphere.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐I may be new to this, but this gym has been nothing short of spectacular. The coaching and training during the group classes have exceeded every expectation I had coming in. Every coach has been absolutely wonderful (Kirstin, Andrew, Nathaniel, Brandy, Jensin) — encouraging, knowledgeable, patient, and genuinely invested in helping everyone succeed.What stands out just as much is the community. Everybody has been kind, friendly, welcoming, and helpful from day one, which makes showing up so much easier and more enjoyable. I haven’t felt this good, motivated, and hopeful about reaching my goals in a very long time.For the first time, I truly feel like I’m building a routine that I genuinely love doing, and I’m excited for the future — especially knowing I’ll hopefully lose this crazy, stubborn weight along the way. So grateful to have found this place!

I can't say enough good things about No Limit. I joined to improve my sports performance and it really helped me build power and strength for softball. Also, I love the space, energy, and music. My trainer Garrett is an amazing; he helped me with my back problems and build so much confidence in lifting heavier. He's has endless knowledge about health, fitness, music, you name it. Really cool guy. We even got to do some Olympic lifting movements, since he's a certified trainer. Unfortunately, I had to end my membership because I couldn't afford it anymore, but hoping to come back when I can. Definitely recommend training here!

Super quick and convenient

Love No Limit! Friendly, approachable, and knowledgeable coaches who care. A community of people who support, laugh, have fun, and work hard. Clean and relevant equipment. Highly recommend this place!

The staff is incredibly kind and the coaches are amazing at easing you into new routines.

Just started working out at this gym and have loved it so far!

Recommend NLPT for anyone looking for PT or Group training. I am part of the group training and have to say coaches are incredibly supportive and push you to be your best without feeling overwhelmed. The place is a vibe thanks to the positive and motivating people who show up everyday!

I’ve been training with Bri for the past two weeks, and I’m already feeling such a positive difference in my body. She is incredibly knowledgeable and really takes the time to listen—not just to my goals, but also to how my body is feeling day to day. That level of attention has made a huge impact on my progress and comfort during workouts.Bri tailors everything to what I need, and I never feel pushed in a way that risks injury or burnout. Instead, I feel supported, challenged in the right ways, and genuinely cared for. I’m already noticing improvements in how I feel physically, and I’m excited to keep going. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a thoughtful and effective trainer.

As a healthcare professional, I value systems, consistency, and long-term results , and No Limit Personal Training in Placentia delivered on all three.I trained there from 2013 to 2023, and the impact went far beyond physical strength. It built discipline, structure, and a sustainable approach to health.Sako, Bri, Randy, Jeff, Alan, Lisa, Daniel and I’m the entire team operate at a very high standard with genuine care for their clients.I stepped away due to personal health reasons, but I remain deeply grateful for that decade. Highly recommend for anyone serious about investing in their health.

I have been working out for years and my friend recommended me to try this place. I absolutely loved it. Every workout is different so you don’t get bored and they have tons of equipment to work different muscle groups. I also like how they are focused on functional workouts. I would highly recommend this place.

Fun group work outs, awesome & attentive trainers. Would recommend!

This bootcamp has completely changed my routine! The workouts are challenging but doable, and the trainers keep you motivated the entire time. I’ve gotten stronger, more confident, and actually look forward to showing up. The energy is unmatched and the community is so supportive. Highly recommend if you want real results!

Our experience with NLPT has been nothing short of positive. From day one, the environment felt focused, professional, and genuinely supportive. It never felt intimidating or over-the-top, which is something I really value, especially when committing to personal training.The trainers are knowledgeable, attentive, and clearly invested in what they do. You don’t feel like you’re being rushed through a workout or treated like just another client on a schedule. Instead, there’s real intention behind the programming and a clear emphasis on form, safety, and long-term progress. That level of care makes a huge difference.What stood out most to me was how personalized everything felt. The trainers take the time to understand your goals, your limits, and where you’re coming from, and they adjust accordingly. It feels thoughtful and smart, not cookie-cutter. As someone who appreciates structure and professionalism, I found that incredibly reassuring.The space itself is clean, organized, and well run. Everything feels efficient without feeling cold, and the overall vibe is motivating without being overwhelming. You can tell this is a business that’s run with purpose and high standards.As someone who values quality, consistency, and intentional leadership, I’ve been really impressed with NLPT. It’s a place where you feel supported, challenged, and respected, and that combination is not easy to find. I would absolutely recommend NLPT to anyone looking for a personal training experience that feels personal, professional, and genuinely well executed.

Great gym with personal attention to detail for every fitness plan.

No Limit is an amazing gym with great instructors, programs, and members. Def challenges you and pushes you to be your best. The management is so encouraging, following up to make sure you get the most out of your workout, and inspiring. Thank you for being a place open at all times to truly become your best self!!!!

Great full body workout, personalized to my needs yet in a fun workout community setting! Kristin, the trainer, was very supportive, attentive, and encouraging, so grateful to her for motivating me throughout the fun but tough workout!

I’ve been a member here for the past 10 months and it’s one of the best health investments I’ve ever done. The staff is incredible and the coaches are super passionate about their classes. Everyone is so welcoming and inviting no matter what level you’re starting at, I highly recommend you check it out.Update 3+ years later: it's been an amazing journey with this gym family, I'm in much better condition now thanks to the great training and encouragement here than I was in my 20s and 30s. I've even started picking up more activities like BJJ. It's been a life changer and I highly recommend them!

Best workout community, best trainers, and keeps me consistent. I'm so grateful I found this gym in 2024 ! On to 2026 for more gains !

I've been coming to NLPT gym since October 2019 and it has been one of the best decisions of my life! I've lost a lot of weight, I've gained confidence, and I've gained a community of encouraging friends! I recommend anyone to give this place a try!

My husband and I joined NLPT over two years ago. Best decision! The trainers push you to be your best while making the workout fun and enjoyable.

NLPT is truly the best!! It is a place where I go to feel better, both physically and mentally! The trainers are so caring and it is always a welcoming environment to everyone, no matter your level of fitness. Thank you NLPT for being top notch!

I've been going to No Limit Personal Training for six months now and it has completely changed my relationship with working out. I'm down 10 pounds, getting toned, and my muscles are finally starting to show -- and this is coming from someone who had never done strength training before, let alone stepped into a gym in years! What I love most is that I don't have to think about the workouts at all. The trainers have everything planned, and every single day is different -- not one workout has ever been the same. They are constantly watching your form and correcting you, which makes a huge difference in feeling confident and avoiding injury, especially when you don't know what you're doing, like me. The community here is amazing. I've made great friends, and everyone genuinely cheers each other on. It's motivating and welcoming, no matter your fitness level. Honestly, I know for sure I would not have stuck with working out if it weren't for the coaches. They push you, teach you, and truly care about your progress. If you're on the fence or intimidated by the gym, this place will change your mind. Highly recommend!

I've been coming to the group training consistently for the past month. Here is what I love: 1. Training times are very convenient. The app is really easy to use and to book. 2. The trainers are amazing! Very knowledgeable and helpful. They take the time to get to know you, what your goals are, what you need. Super supportive. 3. Classes are organized, on time, and give you a great all around workout. 4. It's a wonderful community of people that are very supportive of one another. It feels like a family. I highly recommend No Limit!

This is the best gym ever!!! Best people and workouts

No Limit is a great gym! Great atmosphere and community! The coaches are awesome and I plan to come here for years!

Love this gym! The coaches are fantastic and it’s always a fun (and challenging) time.

Everyone at NLPT is welcoming, encouraging and friendly!

I would recommend this gym to anyone trying to get back into, or start working out regularly. Coaches are amazing! They are motivating, helpful, and professional. Customer service is great and responsive.

I tried an NLPT trial, and I must say it was an intense yet refreshing session. I was able to work out at my own pace, but training with a group helped me push my limits. Highly recommended!

Great facility with awesome staff! Everyone was very welcoming during my first week. I am excited to continue my fitness journey here!

So glad I found this place. I joined ASAP.! So clean and actually not crowded!!

I like to go there on Thursdays from 10:30 AM to 12:30 PM. I use 10-pound slam ball (MB), 15-pound dumbbell (DB), and 18-pound kettlebell (KB).

I am writing to formally express my dissatisfaction with the handling of my membership cancellation and the lack of professional communication I have experienced at Curl Fitness Yorba Linda. My membership, which was frozen due to medical reasons, was scheduled to expire on August 29, 2025. Despite multiple email attempts to clarify the status of my account, I received no response. When I followed up by phone, I was met with a dismissive and unprofessional attitude from the manager, Phil, who issued a $99 charge for an alleged contract violation without prior explanation. A subsequent call yielded conflicting information from another staff member, who informed me that my membership could remain frozen until December for a $49 fee, with the option to cancel thereafter. This inconsistency, combined with the lack of transparency and courteous communication, has led me to question the integrity and professionalism of your staff. I am deeply frustrated by the misleading information and the absence of reliable customer support.

NLPT is a great place to train. The coaches are super helpful and really care about your progress. Every workout is different, challenging, and keeps you motivated. The gym has a positive vibe, and everyone is friendly. It’s been a great experience. Highly recommend if you’re looking to get stronger and stay consistent.

My friend invited me for trial group HIIT workouts during holidays and I got a special 6 week trial pricing for unlimited workouts. I stuck with it 5 days a week before work and everyone was nice and easy going! The trainers were all friendly and helpful even with the group trainings. They make it a point to remember your name and give you individual pointers to make sure your form for the exercises were correct. I burned at least 400 calories every hour of the HIIT group workouts 😀

I had an incredible experience during my 21-day free trial at NLPT training center, which I was fortunate enough to try through a friend's recommendation. From the very first day, I felt welcomed and genuinely cared for by the entire team. The trainers were not only highly motivating and challenging, but also incredibly supportive and attentive to individual needs. Their encouragement fueled my motivation and helped me push my limits in a positive environment. Overall, it was a truly inspiring experience that exceeded my expectations. I highly recommend NLPT to anyone looking for a place that combines care, motivation, and a supportive community to help reach your fitness goals!

I love coming to NLPT! Even on days when I’m tired and don’t feel like working out, the second I step into the gym I can feel the energy from our incredible trainers. They all go out of their way to check on you during the workouts, no matter how full the class is. I’ve made wonderful friends while attending classes at NLPT! They encourage you and push you to grow. While attending classes here, you’ll find that you can do the hard things! I’ve been going to NLPT for a few months and I've noticeably lost fat and built more muscle. They’ve really helped me reach my goals!

I started group training at New Limit this summer with a trial pass from a friend and was instantly hooked! I’ve tried other gyms in the area, but nothing compares. All the coaches are incredibly knowledgeable, supportive, and motivating. Every workout is intentional, challenging, and designed to push you in the best way. The members make the experience even better. Everyone is welcoming, friendly, and committed to putting in the work. The atmosphere is energizing and pushes you to give your best every time. If you’re looking for a gym that gets results and feels like a true community, New Limit is the place.

After having done a free week trial at No Limit I can officially say I love it there! I’ve been working out regularly my entire life and the training at No Limit is top notch. Will very signing up for real this weekend!

NLPT is a great gym! I have been to many and this one stands out. Has great trainers that know your name and push you to your limit, a nice community, and is fully equipped for whatever you need. Also I have a great workout whenever I come and have a great variety of classes so I feel I can come whenever I want. I’ve been wanting to come here for years and finally committed and have no regrets!! Looking forward to a better me. Thank you!

I started working out at NLPT about 2 months ago and can honestly say I don't have any plans on stopping! The team / Coaches at No Limit have been so dedicated to my growth as a gym newbie through every class, ensuring that my form is good and I challenge myself in each workout. Definitely recommend for every and all level!

Just started here and it's awesome. Facility is clean, instructors are accommodating, patrons are welcoming. The workouts themselves are intense but effective and fun. I love that there are options to keep things either cardio heavy or strength heavy - your choice. Have tried just about every type of workout available in OC thus far and am happy to finally find something that fits just right. They also have a very wide array of times they do classes which easily accommodates complex schedules.

I just started and am loving it!! I had an especially great experience this morning at No Limit! I usually go to the 5:15s (which I love), but I woke up a little late today and knew I'd be late--still decided to go. Nathaniel had already finished the demo, but he was SO kind and walked me through everything, even helped me with my own quick warm-up. Everyone there was cheering me on just for making it to class, which was honestly so refreshing. I've been to Pilates studios that kick you out and charge you for being five minutes late, so it meant a lot to be somewhere that's just happy you showed up. As a busy mom and working person, that kind of support makes such a difference!

Fun, clean and hard workout !!!
