I've been aimlessly working out on my own for almost 4 years but have never seen as good results as I did when I started with Emile. I also am a huge proponent of giving back and supporting our country's veterans and he is no exception.
Before Emile, I never knew about all these little tricks and extra things I could do to help make my workout more effective. He also gave me fantastic tips on getting my diet on track, as well as answered so many questions I had about eating healthy. He's been doing this for longer than I've been born, so I trust him wholeheartedly. In my first month of training, i lost ~10lbs of fat and gained ~5lbs of muscle (results vary person to person).
He isn't in it for just the money. He actually cares about his clients' well being in both the present, and the future.
Also, Emile's gym is the absolute cleanest gym I've ever been to. You can tell his extreme attention to detail applies to his profession. I would recommend Emile to everyone who's looking to change their lives for good.Helpful 1Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - JP T.Hercules, CA1831546May 26, 2009
About 90% of the time, I am the one being asked for advice when it comes to diet and exercise, so why in the world would I need a trainer or coach? Because of this very important thing called education. You can never know or learn too much. So when it came time to find a coach to prep me for a bodybuilding show, you better believe that I had some pretty high expectations. Emile and Bea have met those expectations and exceeded them significantly.
I used to kill myself at the gym for over 2 hours and try all these different, and absolutely insane diet methods. In the last 7 months, I have learned to be much more efficient in the gym and with my nutrition. The old motto, "work smarter, not harder," has finally surfaced in the health aspect of my life.
They have also inspired me to follow my true passion, which is health. Watching them in action during these last few months has made me realize that there are ways to make a living doing what you love.
There are currently 6 of us preparing for the Los Angeles Bodybuilding Show in July, and 2 of us preparing for the USA Championships the week, and I cannot think of a better atmosphere to be around in all of Southern California.
If you are ready to be pushed to your limits and ready to transform your lifestyle, M2 Fitness is the place to go.Helpful 3Thanks 0Love this 1Oh no 0 - Leslie C.Long Beach, CA081Feb 12, 2016
"Emile is the perfect combination of tough ( if you don't feel like your dying there is no change happening) and aware ( Leslie what's going on with you today, what's distracting you from your goal), and I feel like he works with my whole person- mentally, emotionally, and physically. He understands that total success can't be reached with out all those components working together. His professionalism, extensive knowledge, and enthusiastic commitment to his work, provides the perfect scenario and sets foundations for a new healthier lifestyle. Emile is a master of his craft and within 3 months I can feel motivating changes in my body and a positive mental boost that was missing from my life.....Emile and M2 fitness are my sanity!!!"

Before training at M2, I lived in the gym and ate pretty clean but I was not seeing the results I wanted. I was SO frustrated. Grueling workouts, meal preps, etc. but I had hit a plateau. Discovering M2 while walking down the street was a blessing, and at the most perfect time. Yes, I get up at 5 AM to workout at 6 AM because an hour with Emile is priceless. After an hour of training, I feel accomplished. I feel like I pushed beyond my limits and actually hit my goals!
I am about 2/2.5 weeks into my new diet (much easier than anticipated) and workout regime and I am already seeing definition in my arms and shoulders! This motivates me like nothing else, to actually SEE progress! My core is flattening out and I am gaining strength. What I believe is one of Emile's strong points as my coach, is the constant truths about bodies and muscles while he trains. I have learned SO much already. He breaks down the reasons behind the exercise and tells you the purpose for everything.
This is not just some "personal trainer" at golds who kind of sort of works out and will just talk to you about your weekend while youre doing crunches, this is the real deal. I am SO thankful I have M2 and Emile and his team on my side! You may even see me in the next CA bikini competition! :-D
All you need to do now is JUST GO. DO IT. Just get up, walk/bike/run/drive over to M2 off of Pine Ave, and commit. This is seriously the first day of your new body. How bad do you want it? Let Emile guide you to your dreams becoming a reality! This means a whole lot to me, ask yourself the same!Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Leslie G.Long Beach, CA08Jan 11, 2017

Really cool gym in a loft setting. very clean and very personal. It's absolutely the ultimate elite personal training experience I ever had. Bea & Emile are amazing, they are helping me with my nutrition and workout routines. This is only my 3red week and I feel great already. What's perfect about M2 Fitness is that you don't have to be stuck in the gym or on a treadmill... but they also have outdoor programs on the weekend such as "Naked Commando" A high intensity total body workout by the beach, and no you don't need to be naked.
If you're looking for a personal trainer, then Bea & Emile are the way to go, you will feel great about yourself.Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Kiki R.Long Beach, CA077Apr 28, 2011
Im a Kinesiolgy graduate student at CSULB, working towards a Master's degree in Exercise Psychology. Most people would expect me to be in perfect shape, but in the Fall of 2010, I found myself, tired, out of shape and desparately needing a mentor to get me back on track.
Bottom line, Emile is a God-send; more than a trainer or a coach. He's an educator and motivator who will give you the tools you need to take control of your life. At M2 Fitness, you'll learn to stop making excuses and start taking action to reach your goals.
If you are looking for a solid training program, with tons of variety in your workouts as well as an outstanding group of instructors, this is your place! As an ACE Certified Group Fitness Instructor, I have a learned more from Emile than any certification exam has ever taught me.
M2 Fitness is the only program you should consider if you are looking for life changing lessons and immediate results.

Never in my 17 years as a fitness professional have I been so disrespected! After reading the amazing yelp reviews for M2 Fitness Pros I decided to go to studio and see if this was a place that could assist me with my personal fitness goals; It has been a HUGE mistake! They signed me up without explaining the break down of program from workout approach to nutrition guidance. I did not have a good feeling about it the day after signing up and when i expressed those concerns I was ignored. They already had my Money so why would they act like a trainer/weight loss coach and listen to your client?? I was sent one personal email and the rest were "mass emails" promoting their business. Webminar videos that left me having questions on how to get the process going. I was unable to attend the Group classes offered because it did not fit into my work schedule. Opted for online training and was ignored for 16 days, with Emile not checking in on my fitness pal log ins and No cardio training assigned??? I called Emile's Cell numerous times, left voice messages and they were ignored. Once I called the main business number to cancel I received an email response from Emile not acknowledging my request for a refund of "last month dues payment" (a payment for work that has yet to take place). After 18 emails and being tossed back and forth with Emile and Trainer Noor, I asked to meet with Noor and she refused to meet with me(a paying client)-- Extremely unprofessional! A phone call took place; I was talked over, personally insulated, and hung up on. A couple mins later she texts me saying "I STILL want to work with you." Unbelievable! All I have asked for is for M2Fitness to do the right thing and accommodate my request for a refund for services not provided. Unfortunately it has turned into an unpleasant and unprofessional interaction and experience. No paying client should ever be treated this way. Their actions have shown me it is not able helping individuals with their fitness journey but rather about $money$ and referrals to make more $$$ without upholding the client trainer standards. Beyond disappointed and personally insulted. Use Caution!

I signed up on April 14, 2014. That was the worst mistake of my life. Don't sign up with this company or trainer. Emile has great marketing skills and will convince you to sign up. He gives you these false promises that I am going to check in on you. I am going to make sure we work together, but in reality He just wants your money. I am a nurse, so I strongly believe that professionalism and integrity is the most important attribute to a person and there business. This business does not have that attribute. I have been having questions about my contract, and no one answers the phone. I mean I called Emile's personal cell phone. He sent me to voice mail then sent me a text message. When I sent him a text message letting him know that I needed clarity, he did not respond. If someone was charging your credit card, don't you think they would call you and clarify and address your concerns? This is by far the worst experience I have ever had with a trainer. Don't fall for their lies, go to a trainer that really cares for you and follows through with your concerns. I usually would NEVER leave a review, but I am so disgusted with their business practices that I do not want anyone else to fall victim to this mess. If you do decide to try them, Ask for a free workout, and that will definitely change your mind about joining. It's a small studio with too many people and virtually you all are doing the same thing but at different times. It's called circuit training but trust me you could do a boot camp that would be just as effective and cheaper. Also, if you don't have time to watch all the videos online about how to work out and everything else, then you are wasting your time, or better yet, buy the Insanity tape for a one-time fee, it's probably more effective too. Don't waste your time, your money, or energy with this place. I would recommend Dynamic Fitness in Long Beach. They have a great trainer that really cares about you and comes through with their promises and expectations. HORRIBLE PLACE!
(Also, if He can reply on Yelp, then he could take the time to call his CLIENT, which is me, to discuss my concerns and questions. It is a business owner duty to make sure the consumer is satisfied. Be warned, posting on YELP was only to salvage his creditability. He still has not addressed my concerns regarding my money. YELPERs remember they are only great MARKETER'S!!! Go somewhere else to get a Trainer.)Helpful 4Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0Business owner information
