Phenomenal Fitness

After years of working out but eating like crap, I needed a drastic change. I heard about Coach Daymond at Phenomenal Fitness in Laguna Hills. He's a foul mouth, David Goggin's type of personality that tells you how it is, exactly what I needed. Someone to keep me on track and accountable. Most of the guys there are shredded in their 50's and 60's, absolute beasts. @coach_daymond set me up with a personalized fitness program and nutrition which is basically the carnivore diet. After 4 short weeks I'm down 10lbs and 6% body fat. Can't wait to see the results in the upcoming months

This review is for Desiree at Phenomenal Fitness.

I have been training with Desiree for a couple of years now and let me just say, she has changed my life! I was not one for the "big box gyms" and I have a hard time with group classes where you just show up, follow the instructor and leave. At this gym, you feel like part of a family and everything is tailored to your needs and physical ability. It is the perfect combo of workouts and nutritional counseling in a small group setting. Desiree takes the time to work with you and your goals, guide you through the workouts and alter any steps based on your current circumstances and physical ability. Just had surgery or hurt your knee or back? No problem, Desiree will help make a training plan just for you. Just had a baby? (And there have been many through the years here!) no problem, bring that baby or kid and they have a play area. Desiree has been known to hold some kids and walk around with them just so the mom can work out.
Having a hard time getting motivated and showing up? Desiree texts and calls and checks in on you, and when you get there she actually cares about you and will make sure you are ok. This is not just some "pay your monthly tuition and leave gym" I have seen all types come and go in this gym and they all will say the same thing, when they show up, put in the work and achieved their results, Desiree was the one who was there cheering them on and making it happen.
If you want a place with someone who truly cares AND you get results, then Desiree at Phenomenal Fitness is the one for you.

I started training with Daymond in June 2018 and it has changed my life! I'm stronger and healthier than I have ever been. His straight forward approach was exactly what I needed to jump start my motivation. The atmosphere is great- high, positive energy - that keeps you pushing through your workouts. Definitely recommend checking it out if you are serious about making a change!

Phenomenal Fitness is the best! If you want to get in excellent shape and learn about a healthy lifestyle and nutrition then this is your place. Daymond is the most knowledgeable and practical trainer I have ever worked with. You will not waste any time here. If you want serious change fast and are ready to put in the work or need help with extra motivation then mod yourself a favor and go here. I lost 25 lbs in my first 10 weeks of working out here. And I want able to keep it off through the knowledge I gained.

Had an amazing time getting trained by Desiree, she was so sweet and went through a brief consultation on what my goals were for my fitness journey. She thoroughly explained the workout routine for the day and we started at our own pace. She motivates you while you're working out but doesn't over do it to the point where U want to throw up lol. I love working out, but cardio isn't my strongest suit, so I can't wait to come back again and train harder. Overall the people are so sweet and the gym had a great vibe

Thanks again Des!

If you are serious about getting in great shape, this is the place! Daymond will not only train you and educate you about the importance of diet like few other can, he will motivate you and hold you accountable. The end result --- Success!
If you you are serious about being healthy, and haven't checked it out yet - you're missing out!

I started out training with Daymond but after a couple of months, started training with his wife, Desiree, instead. I love Desiree! She is such a sweet but strict trainer! She really kicks my butt and pushes me to the limit each week! I love her positive and motivating energy! I have been training at this gym for about 4 months and I love it! They have a variety of classes from morning until evening. I usually attend the 5:30pm classes with Desiree on Monday, Wednesday, Friday, and 8am on Saturday. Class sizes are small which is great for obtaining that personal attention to detail and technique.

Each day of the week focuses on a different body part and the trainers really focus on aesthetics. It is pricey but totally worth it since you get training, nutrition, accountability, and a variety of class times! The trainers here really believe in getting their clients results! They will motivate and inspire as well as punish you when you ate or drank badly over the weekend. It is refreshing to see that passion show everyday at the gym. Even the overall energy at the gym is buzzing! EDM and upbeat music to keep your energy levels high. The workouts are a mixture of circuit, crossfit-style, weight-lifting, with HIIT (high intensity interval training). After my 1 week trial, I was worn out but hooked!

Check it out sometime! I highly recommend working out with Desiree!

Over the past 3 years I've worked with different trainers and different gyms but none have matched what I get and have gotten in the past 18 months from Daymond & Desiree at Phenomenal Fitness. There's nothing easy here, they push you and your limits and expand your growth exponentially, both physically and mentally. Add a positive, fun clean, well equipped environment and it's a winning combination. I was at a decent 18% body fat when I finally joined and within weeks I understood so much more about diet and food, and what a macro actually is and how to measure and track my intake that I was soon in single digit body fat and have been ever since. I can't say they are for everybody, you have to really want to see change and be willing to do the work but if you are committed to transforming your life, hands down, this is the place and they are the ones...

This GYM is by far the best in OC. I've been training for a long time but never saw results until now with my trainer Desiree. I love the motivation you get at this gym and everyone is there to workout and look amazing. I will recommend 100% to try it for a week and you will fall in love too.

If you want results, hit up Daymond. Very honest, no messing around! Truly leads by example and will hold you accountable. If you like to complain and look for excuses, its not for you.

If you want to get in great shape and are ready to hold yourself accountable, go for it.

Great workouts! Always challenges you.
