personal training
The fitness industry is built on certified personal trainers. We go one step further: every personal trainer at San Pedro Fit Works is required to hold a university degree in kinesiology or exercise science. Certifications are where most gyms stop. We start with a university degree in the science of human movement. Our trainers are ready to answer the question: why am I doing this?
We recommend training two to three times per week in focused 30-minute sessions. Research consistently shows that training frequency drives results more than session length. Our programming is designed around this principle.
what we coach
STRENGTH, BODY COMPOSITION & WEIGHT MANAGEMENT:
Progressive resistance training for lean muscle development, body recomposition, weight loss, and personal records. Our coaches design structured programs using periodized loading, targeted accessory work, and movement-specific progressions. Whether your goal is losing 30 pounds, achieving your first pull-up, or a 400-pound deadlift, programming combines movement with coaching accountability — built around your lifestyle, not a crash diet.
CARDIOVASCULAR HEALTH AND CONDITIONING:
Structured cardio programming for heart health, stamina, aerobic capacity, and overall fitness. Not training for a race? Just want to feel better going up stairs, keep up with your kids, or build a sustainable conditioning habit? This is that. Interval training, steady-state work, and progressive conditioning tailored to your current fitness level and health goals.
ENDURANCE AND EVENT TRAINING:
Periodized programs for runners, cyclists, triathletes, and multi-sport athletes: from first 5K to Ironman distance. Developed by owner Matt Leu (M.S. Kinesiology), a lifelong endurance athlete who began competing in triathlons at age eight and has raced distances from 5K to Ironman (PR 9:54), including a rim-to-rim crossing of the Grand Canyon. Delivered by our coaching team under his direct oversight. We build plans around your race calendar, manage training load across disciplines, and adjust based on your response. Marathon, half-marathon, triathlon, century ride, and ultra-endurance preparation in San Pedro and throughout the South Bay.
SPORT SPECIFIC PERFORMANCE:
Speed, agility, power, and sport-specific conditioning for competitive and recreational athletes. Our coaches work with high school, club, and collegiate athletes across track and field, basketball, football, baseball, soccer, and combat sports. Programming addresses sport demands, competitive schedules, and injury prevention not generic "athletic" or "elite" circuits.
POST PHYSICAL THERAPY TRAINING:
Guided transition from rehabilitation back to full activity. Our team includes coaches with clinical backgrounds in athletic training and outpatient physical therapy settings. We work alongside your PT or physician to build progressive strengthening, mobility restoration, and corrective movement programs tailored to your medical history and recovery timeline.
MOBILITY & CORRECTIVE MOVEMENT:
Targeted work for range of motion limitations, compensatory movement patterns, postural dysfunction, and chronic tightness. Programming draws from functional movement screening, joint-specific mobility protocols, and corrective exercise strategies. Ideal for desk workers, post-surgical clients, and anyone whose body isn't moving the way it should.
