New Location

When I first started this venture, I just wanted a nice, clean place to train with a personalized experience that my clients could rave about. Nothing big, nothing crazy. Just something clean and personal; something that would make my clients feel at home. Without investors, loans or family money, my business partner and I started Mansion with just 1500 square feet, 4 vanilla walls and a vision for something that had never been done before. After all back in 2011 (long before gyms got fancy), hanging huge chandeliers in a gym was completely absurd, uncalled for and crazy!

Over the next 4 years, we expanded 4 times and took over our neighbors leases during the great recession. We soon launched another class based version of the gym on Melrose called “The Phoenix Effect” as well. Over time, the gym soon took a life of its own keeping its personalized touch along the way. I never in my life imagined it could amount to this.

Today I would like to announce the opening of Mansion Fitness’s newest location on the WeHo/Beverly Hills Border, boasting the best views in the city, over 3000 square feet of rooftop terrace, a new and improved private training space and valet parking! What more could one want? Come check us out at 8358 Sunset Blvd. in West Hollywood or check out our video below!

Training Juan Pablo For "The Bachelor"

I've been the go to trainer for ABC's "The Bachelor" and the "Bachelorette" series TV shows for 3 years now, and it's been an honor getting to work with such talent. It's been even more fun getting these clients shredded! 

Juan and I are about to start a very intensive training program and I have just a few weeks to do this makeover. He had a pretty good base physique initially so I just knew he was going to look awesome in the end!

Phoenix Effect Bootcamp Expands Onto Melrose Ave In A Big Way!

When I first opened Mansion, I was approached by a trainer that went by the name of Max Phoenix (center). Hugely spiritual, when this guy spoke his words resonated with you. I guess that's how he got across to his clients. A recovered drug user turned walking success story, he wanted to not just clean up your mind, but your body as well in his class. 

He asked me if he could rent out Mansions basement space to hold a bootcamp. I had just opened for business and figured the extra foot traffic couldn't hurt so I said "sure, why not". 

The class started with just 5 people in it and grew -and grew, AND GREW! Within 3 months, the class was spilling over into my parking lot. Hundreds of people were calling the gym to try and get into this thing. It seemed that the buzz around LA was EVERYWHERE! We had zero advertising. Zero signage. No instagram. No Twitter. Nothing but a basic Facebook page. 

I could see he had something special. Eventually, I decided to help him polish it into its own brick and mortar space and help him teach the classes. Max and I trained together for about 3 months in an effort to learn his technique. Soon after,  I started coaching more trainers to help us out. Our team of 2 grew into a team of 8 and the Phoenix Effect was born! Since opening for business 3 years ago, we've had over 33,000 checkins on Facebook alone. Watch the video below long enough and you'll even see our cryogenics deep freeze system which drops the temperature of the room up to 30 degrees in less than 5 seconds. Crazy!

It's unfortunate that Max is no longer with us =/ He was a gift to this world that was just too good to be true. Unfortunately, like any true legend, he was taken prematurely from us
