Body Inspired Fitness

Having worked all over the fitness industry since a teen, I pretty much figured I wouldn't be able to find anything new or inspiring with a personal trainer or workout class. I seriously believed I had seen it all but decided to try boot camp because of the outdoor variety. So I joined their newsletter first, to get a feel for their philosophy. Everything Angela wrote about... the sincerity and intensity she has for her clients...I can only describe her as an old soul WHO GETS IT. She gets us real and accountable, and not just by showing up. She is unusually knowledgeable about body alignment/physiology plus all the awareness and consciousness feedback we get to take better care of ourselves...like reminding us of the things we do to ourselves when no one is watching. So, individually, as a group, for Angela herself and her trainers, Body Inspired Fitness gives you the feeling that it matters that you are there and that you are an important part of the plan to make a difference. Even my spouse has reported ""it makes you so much happier"". Today I don't overanalyze my body, do the comparison thing or obsess about what I eat anymore since doing boot camp. I didn't have the usual New Years Resolution anxiety this year either, since starting camp in October and continuing throughout the holidays. I love the flexibility of classes, variety and new exercises that they have proven to work with so many. They are so easy to work with and are very happy to have you with them. Seriously, you will not be disappointed. more

When I had first started Body Inspired Fitness' bootcamp, I was 30 pounds overweight, and had tried and failed numerous gym memberships. Body Inspired was different-- more energizing, more fun, and the teachers really know what they are doing to maximize a workout. There is also a broad variety of workouts that keeps it very interesting (most workouts are outside-- they mix it up to be sports cardio, or strengthening or a focus on trouble spots or even pilates) They also work with you to set goals, establish a food plan and a program that will work for you and your body. I lost 30 pounds in 4 months, and it is now 18 months later, and I have kept the weight off. What's more important, I feel better and stronger. In short, it is great. Pros: Variety of workouts, very good instructors, fun , motivating Cons: can't think of any more

I am so glad I finally tried out Body Inspired Fitness. Angela and Jeff do such a great job, they have positive attitudes, their exercise regimes are challenging and rewarding, and they keep it interesting by holding the classes at different locations and in different environments. I have been going through fertility treatment for the past 1 1/2 years, the side effects are painful and it has taken a toll on my body. Going to the BIF classes has made a tremendous difference, I wish I had started much earlier. The workouts relieve so much stress, and they are invigorating, I have never felt better. I'm a member for life now! Pros: Positive and challenging environment more

From my first workout with Angela, I was hooked. I?ve had a lot of injuries over the years that have resulted in limitations that prevent me from doing some exercises. Instead of telling me to just push through it or to skip parts of the workout, Angela always finds an alternative way for me to work the muscle group without pain or risk of further injury. Her willingness to find what works for my body has not only let me strengthen muscles that I haven?t been able to work for years, but it has given me a great sense of empowerment that I CAN be strong. Pros: Great trainers, outdoor workouts, extra motivation more

My friend asked me to join her for boot camp and I did not know what I was getting myself into. I am so glad that I joined!!! It has been a great experience!!! The trainers make working out fun, they change it up so that the workouts are always different and I have really noticed results. The trainers are very supportive and push you, but in a good way. I was surprised by some of the things I was able to do! Also, the women in the classes are nice and supportive as well. It has been an all around great experience. Pros: Enthusiastic and Supportive Trainers, variety of exercises more

Body Inspired Fitness by name...inspired workouts and trainers! Angela is in a word...amazing! The workouts are diverse, fun, challenging, get you off your butt, and yes we even laugh a lot! There is something for every fitness level, the environment is incredibly supportive. These guys push you hard, but without that military drill-like attitude. The workouts are innovative and change constantly...you'll never be bored. The locations change too! The beach workout is a favorite of mine. What's not to love about working out next to the ocean, in the sunshine? Just say NO to treadmills!! Pros: amazing trainers! Incredible boot camp experience!!! more

Bootcamp with Angela and Jeremy is amazing. It's like having a personal trainer 3 days a week because the work out is individualized if you need it to be. They hold you accountable and help you reach your goals with pre and post boot camp evaluations. The best deal they have is if you sign up early and get the special, you have unlimited classes for the duration of bootcamp. It's the best deal!! Pros: Accountability, Staff, Fun workout, Body Change more

Plain and simple these guys are the best. They have something for everyone. Want to rock heavy weights and shred body fat? Check. Want to work on your cardio and maybe run a 10K or 1/2 Marathon? Check. Need help with caloric intake or a meal plan altogether? Check. I've never come across a personal training group that offered such variety at such a low price. Before Body Inspired Fitness, the thought of getting up at 6am to work out was akin to a root canal with no painkillers. Now, I'm out the door with a smile on my face and a spring in my step. And that's because at the center of it all is great people who inspire that drive inside you to harness your inner beast and get your ass in shape! Pros: Variety - something for everyone more

Never one to be able to get myself to a gym, Body Inspired Fitness?s outdoor fitness program really works for me! At one with the outdoors while getting fit; doesn?t get much better than that! I was in a real funk with my fitness program until getting inspired to workout to my personal maximum with Body Inspired Fitness. Angela?s inspiring words and sense of fun makes staying on track a reality. A supportive group of women experiencing a varied workout in the great outdoors in the Palisades and Santa Monica has been the ticket to helping me meet both my physical and nutritional fitness goals. Hearing the word fitness boot camp was scary for me at first, but Angela?s Body Inspired Fitness boot camp instructors are so caring, personable and knowledgeable?not robotic sergeants of some outdoor fitness programs. Within the group class sessions, you are made to feel like the program is individualized for you due to all the personalized attention given to you. Pros: very supportive, enjoyable, and doable for all Cons: still need to muster up personal motivation more

The first time I ever did Palisades Boot Camp I felt so proud of myself for sticking with it. I loved the variety of classes, the trainers, and mostly the owner Angela Parker. I recommend it anyone who wants to get in shape and have fun!! Pros: Get in shape AND healed my back pain! more

Not to sign up for body inspired fitness would be a huge mistake!! These women are sure to give you the best experience and will work with you no matter what fitness level is. Take your skinny jeans out from under your bed and get ready to rock them out for summer!!!! more

After being referred to the Body Inspired Fitness, I have never felt better about my body and the progress I am making to reach my fitness goals in only four weeks. The daily workout that I get from going to the Palisades Santa Monica Bootcamp classes not only kicks my booty, but is also duable.I look forward to waking up each morning, knowing that I am going to go workout with a great bunch of ladies who are like-minded and want to improve their health. This class is for all fitness levels, I know because I recently have had a full hip replacement. All the instructors are informative and helpful, while pushing you to change your body for the better. Come hang out and enjoy getting your sweat on with all the fun ladies! Pros: Best All Levels Bootcamp more

The great thing about Body Inspired Fitness is you get to do the same great work out you would get at a gym but you get to do it outside at the park or at the beach...what could be better! The classes schedule has lots of different classes at different locations and times to fit into any schedule. The trainers are awesome. Very friendly, knowledgable and just really great people! I wasn't sure what to expect when I first tried the boot camp but quickly became a fan and loyal customer for life. Pros: outdoors, fun people, great trainers more

I hate what the word ""bootcamp"" evokes and almost didn't go because of it. I'm glad my friend guilted me into it because it was great. Holly made the work out fun--not like work at all, but boy was I sore the next day! Thanks to the variety of instructors, locations and times, I've been able to stick with it, and can finally fit into my pre-pregnancy clothes! more

The personal trainers at Body Inspired Fitness know how to deliver a GREAT full body workout with a mat, hand weights and the wonderful outdoors. I love the Men's Santa Monica Bootcamp. The fitness trainers keep the workouts fun and challenging. Every workout is different and unique, love being challenged gently and the camaraderie is a plus. My body is getting in great shape and loves me for it. Thank you Angela Parker. Pros: great camaraderie, outdoors, low cost more

Amazing and Talented Instructors. Diverse Workouts. Whether you work out on a regular basis or have never worked out, the instructors tailor each class to your fitness level. Definitely worth checking out. more

Do not hesitate, just do it - visit a Palisades Boot Camp class and you'll soon find out it's the PERFECT workout. You'll look and feel better within the first month and be inspired to continue on. It's so convenient is you live in the Palisades or Santa Monica and there are enough classes and enough variety to keep you motivated and excited (yes excited!) to go to class. All of the personal trainers are great and even though it's a group class you get the individual attention you'd get from a one-on-one session - but not the cost. You will love it! more

I love Body Inspired Fitness! It is hands down the most incredible program i have tried. Angela Parker has started and amazing business with personality and incredible fitness trainers. There are a variety of classes and locations making it so easy to come. I love going to class and working out and not being so exhausted by the end that i can't finish my day. Its was a good kick in the butt to get me to start working out again. The trainers are so encouraging and make the working out fun instead of a drag. What i like most is that they fit each workout to everyones different level. This program is unlike any other. It is worth trying one class, because after that you will be hooked. Pros: variety of classes and locations, inspiring trainers, program with a personality! more

Angela Parker and The Body Inspired Fitness Trainers are amazing. I was visiting the Pacific Palisades area when I was told about their Boot Camp for Women. Wow, is all I can say. I felt completely at ease and as if I was a regular and I was pushed just the right amount. I was able to get two workouts in, one in a park and one at the beach. I am hooked, it has changed the way I work out to this day. Anytime I'm in the area I will definately be calling the Body Inspired Fitness team. Thanks Angela for transforming my workouts and the way my body looks. more
