History

Established in 2006.

I have been in the fitness industry for over 10 years. I use to be a fitness Manager at a local Corporate gym. When I realized all they care about is money, I decided to leave and start my own Private Studio. Here we are, 3 years later, and ready to expand. My trainers and I truly care about your well being. We strive to give you the best personal training experience you have ever had. You will see our passion from day 1 and whether you train with me (Sean Khoda/​Owner) or one of the trainers, I will stay on top of your progress. We look forward to help changing your life!

I love this place! Rebecca Brogdon is my trainer and she’s fantastic. I’ve been with her for about 6 months and I’ve noticed huge changes in my physique and in energy levels. I’d highly recommend her! My husband trains with Sean and loves him as a trainer and person. Every trainer I see at this gym is friendly, and the gym is clean an awesome. I love it here!

I am beyond grateful to Todd Collins and Basic Training PFC. From the minute I met with Todd for my consultation I felt understood, comfortable, motivated, and most importantly, hopeful. Todd listened to my neurotic rant, nodding with big eyes as I explained how I’d gotten so fat and the painful events that led up to that. He listens. He was kind and reassuring, he got it immediately. Honestly, this guy would make a great psychologist. My workout sessions with him have been better than therapy! As well as instructing me professionally, and showing me the proper way to do particular exercises that I had been doing wrong for years. When I walk out of a session I’m shocked at how much work I have gotten done, and what a better understanding I have of working out in general (and that it doesn’t have to be hellish). He makes it easy! The gym is very clean, friendly, and light. I have never felt judged there, they’re all very down to earth and that is important for someone who is dealing with, well, a fat ass! If you need a personal trainer, seriously, go meet with Todd Collins. Run there!

Have been Sean’s client for over six years. He tailors your work out to you. His facility has various means for training and all the trainers are well qualified and personable. The gym is clean, has new machines & weights and is never overcrowded. Can’t imagine training anywhere else.

I highly recommend this gym to anyone who is ready to get into shape. I have been a member of several gyms over the past few years in LA but I have never felt as welcomed and supported as I do at Basic Training. Sean Khoda, owner and lead trainer, has created a professional and supportive network of first-​class, personal trainers.

As a trainer, it has been, and continues to be, an absolute pleasure working at Basic Training. Sean is professional, honest, more than fair, and, provides an exceptionally welcoming (and clean!!) facility for both trainers and their clients. I always feel excited and exceptionally fortunate when coming into work, and, Sean plays a large part in that. I look forward to continuing my business with Sean, and, to the future of Basic Training.

The facility is clean, the machines are always working, and everyone is really friendly. The small/​close knit atmosphere really encourages you to work harder, you see the different personal trainers working with their clients and you become in awe of how amazing they look as time progresses.
I am training with Edita Margosian and she totally transformed my body. I started out at a whopping 38% body fat and its been at least two months trying to gauge and analyze my weigh issues — and found through her extensive fitness knowledge that the reason why I was holding onto weight was b/​c of my birth control — I took care of it and watched the pounds drop! I am now at 28% body fat thats a 10% body fat loss! I feel better about myself, I’m getting stronger, and best of all gaining more confidence in myself to stay healthy and develop good habits in the long run. I lost a total of 30 inches all around thanks to her regimen and varied interval circuit training routines — she saved my life! Thank you Edita and Basic Training!!!

My home away from home. It’s a private gym for trainers and their clients. And where fun and fitness intersect. You can’t go there on your own though, it’s not a membership gym, and it’s small.

I worked out at this place for a few months and this place was fantastic! The owner Sean is energetic, really sincerely cares about his clients, is super positive and very enthusiastic. You could literally feel how much Sean cares about his clients, if you don’t look so good he’ll notice and ask you how you’re doing. «Oh I’m just bummed I’ve been eating too much and I feel tired all the time.» He’ll take out a few minutes to really talk to you about that, with a concerned look on his face.
I worked out with Mel and Mel was awesome. He was a perfect match for me. So if you are thinking about training there. I can tell you that Mel was amazing. And quite honestly, Mel might be the best trainer I have ever had. It’s a toss up. I measured my body fat and when I worked out with him and fat got burnt. He worked me out really hard too. Training is expensive, but he worked me out so hard every time I went in that I actually got my money’s worth.
I understand gyms and personal training. This is a great place and not too expensive. Honestly, hiring a personal trainer sometimes isn’t worth it. If the guy doesn’t work you out hard enough, you’re not going to get a result. Mel pushed me. But I also enjoyed going in and talking to him, he was entertaining too.

I’ve been working out here for 2 months now with trainer Todd Collins. I am recovering from ACL repair and needed a place to lose the weight I gained and add the muscle I lost during my year off. Todd is a great trainer and I am starting to see a huge difference in my body and muscle tone. I have lost a great amount of body fat plus my knee feels great. It’s good to have a place where you don’t have to worry about people sitting on machines on their cell phones or reading on the treadmill. My hour spent there is just training, no fluff. Great place to get in shape.

I knew Sean, the owner, many years ago when he worked at another gym and always knew he is a great guy. I have been training with Madeleine Weber for almost nine years and at the beginning of this year she switched her workouts to Sean’s gym. I have to say that I have never been happier with my workouts. First, everyone should know that Madeleine is a phenomenal trainer with decades of experience. She is always smiling as she truly loves what she does. Sean has created a fantastic gym with state of the art equipment and a great atmosphere. The trainers and the clients are friendly and fun, and everyone has a great time. The gym is the height of cleanliness as well. Parking is free and easy and the location is easy to get to.
If you have been working out for years, or want to try a trainer, come to Sean’s gym and give Madeleine a try!

Started working out with Sean, the owner, in February. By May, I couldn’t believe the transformation, and it has only gotten better as we’ve continued.
Contagious enthusiasm, a changing variety of exercises, and one-​on-​one attention make Basic Training the first gym that has succeeded for me. It costs a bit more than a membership to a fitness club, but I’ve learned the hard way that the setup of fitness clubs don’t create the motivation or results I want. Basic Training does.

About 5 years ago I injured myself playing sports and suffered a spinal cord injury. I was left paralyzed from the waist down. I met Sean and started training with him on a regular basis. Doubtful to see whether he can increase muscle or my endurance, I slowly began to notice changes. I increased my trunk muscles dramatically, built up my upper body strength and we did cardio to improve my endurance training.
After we strengthened up my upper body we began on my legs. About a year of strength training, I slowly got enough strength to walk with a walker. I still train @ Basic Training PFC til this day and I will not stop!
I highly recommend Basic Training to anyone that has a physical goal to achieve.
Thanks Sean!

I have been going to Basic Training for about 2 months. They are now at a new location 237 N. Central Ave in Glendale. I am SO happy that I signed up. I am the typical girl that has been trying forever to lose the same weight. I have done the gym, boot camps etc and was always skeptical if a trainer was worth the money. I met with Sean the owner and knew that his was the perfect place for me.
The location is great, easy to park, great equipment and most importantly– I always feel comfortable when I am there. I am already seeing results and I am for once excited about the idea of being consistent with working out. It’s definitely not easy, but you learn things you can take with you after you reach your goal and you learn about nutrition and everything else that is needed to make it all happen.

I’ve been working out at Sean Khoda’s state-​of-​the-​art gym — Private Training PFC since its grand opening, with Sean as my personal trainer. The personalized care I receive could never be duplicated at a standard, commercial gym. Not only is my training regimen personalized, it changes from one session to another! Routines are never the same and all sessions are tough. Sean understands how far he can take his clients whether it’s resistance training or a combination of weights and cardio. Sean’s also an expert with diet and nutrition and can help put together a meal plan that suits the individual. All clients are different, Sean and his training staff understand that a one-​size-​fits-​all approach doesn’t work. It’s this holistic approach to exercise and nutrition that helps me, not only in the gym but in my life in general. When I first saw Sean, I only had a couple of pounds to lose but what I needed more than anything else was to tone up and get rid of excess flab. Not only did I lose the weight, I have been able to maintain tone and definition for the last 3 years! This is truly a life changing experience, I’ll never go to a standard gym again!

I’ve been going to the 24 hour Fitness across the street for the past 4 years, and about 3 – 4 times a week. Although I’m definitely much more fit now than I was when I started, lifting weights without really knowing what I’m doing had caused loss of motion in my range of movements, and big bulky muscles instead of lean ones. I tried trainers at the gym, but everything they would do was so basic — even though they knew my level of fitness was intermediate. To get more advanced training, they required me to purchase MORE sessions and at $ 100 a pop WOAH! Not to mention that the majority of their trainers are NOT in tip-​top shape (who wants a tubby trainer?).
Then I discovered Sean through a family member. He showed me his childhood photos, and WOW HAS THIS GUY TRANSFORMED HIS BODY. Immediately, he was showing me techniques and tools I could use anywhere without any equipment! His gym is state-​of-​the-​art, not huge, but has everything you could possibily need to hit every muscle group and various cardio options. And, one of the most important things, especially in this economy, his pricing is definitely competitive and he’s willing to work with you. And even more important, I could see actual results in just a few sessions! I would recommend Sean and Basic Training to anyone looking for a nutritional and fitness expert in a convenient area of town without the west hollywood prices.
