Newport Beach Residents Just Like You Rate Our Gym and Personal Fitness Training Best in Orange County
What’s up guys, I’m Coach B, owner of the Training Ground OC Strength and Conditioning gym. As I’m sure you know, Newport Beach is home to a vast number of personal trainers, gyms and exercise classes, so first off I would like to say welcome to our website, and that I am excited for this opportunity to talk to you a little bit about what makes us so different from all the other options out there.
Unfortunately, finding a quality Newport Beach personal trainer can seem a bit like searching for a needle in a haystack. While great personal trainers are out there, most are not focused on client results, as they should be, but instead take the easy, lazy route with clients that only results in wasted time and money, along with a big dose of frustration on the part of the client. When I began my business, I made it my top priority to ensure that this would never be an issue at Training Ground OC. Our training style, program design and even the very layout of our facility is designed with only two things in mind: maximum client results and satisfaction.
This results-driven mentality has allowed us to create some of the highest-rated programs and fitness training services in all of Orange County. One of the most common things we hear from clients who have experienced other trainers in the past is that our programs are not even comparable.
It’s important for me to note before we go too much further that our gym is NOT for everybody! We strive to maintain a culture of commitment, motivation and hard working attitudes that are critical to obtaining the results we care so much about. We work best with those who are fully focused on applying the skills they learn with us towards achieving their goals. We don’t work well with excuse-makers or lazy, uncommitted people who want results without the hard work that it takes to achieve them.
Don’t worry though—the fact that you’re still reading this shows me that you are one of the focused, committed individuals that we love to work with and we can’t wait to show you what kind of success we can reach training together.
Here are some success stories from a few of our Newport Beach clients:
“I couldn’t run at all—now I run circles around my friends and family!”
Theresa lost 30 pounds in 5 months!
I had attempted all sorts of quick fix diets (lemonade detox diet, only fruits and vegetables diet, etc.) to lose weight, all of which were horrible. I wanted to live a healthy life and be fit but I did not know what to do. I wanted to be active with my friends and boyfriend by running, playing tennis, basketball or hiking. But I felt embarrassed and frustrated because I couldn’t even run half a mile or play a full game of basketball or do any outdoor activities without getting exhausted–and as a result, my self esteem and confidence were very low.
With Training Ground OC’s programs I’ve seen great results. I’ve lost almost 30 pounds of pure fat in under half a year and I’ve met so many great new people in the process! CORE Condition is so much fun because every workout is different and everyone is competitive, yet also supportive of everyone else. It feels like you’re part of a family here. TGX is awesome because I have learned to lift weights correctly and become stronger than I ever thought possible. Because of my training, in addition to looking the best I’ve ever looked, I can now run 4+ miles without stopping! I can confidently do the things I previously couldn’t do and no longer feel self-conscious, because now I can outlast my friends!
Coach B and Coach W give every one of their athletes the tools they need to achieve their fitness goals. Even the larger group workouts with CORE Condition feel like personal training—our coaches always take the time to talk to everyone individually about nutrition. They are really passionate about what they do and are 100% focused on helping everyone reach their goals. I absolutely LOVE Training Ground OC and am addicted to it!

“I transformed my body and now dominate at my swim meets!”
Matt lost 15 lbs of pure fat and gained 10 lbs of powerful muscle mass!
Training with Coach B at Training Ground OC was probably the best decision I’ve ever made to augment my athletic performance. As a former collegiate and current Masters level competitive swimmer, I’ve always focused on keeping my cardiovascular conditioning levels up to help me win my races. However, I rarely went to the gym or performed resistance training because I was under the assumption that swimmers didn’t have a big need for it and there wasn’t much benefit to weight training for my particular sport.
Last year however, I was beginning to get frustrated by the plateaus that I was unable to break when it came to improving my times in the various events that I compete in. And to be honest, I wasn’t happy with where my body was at either. I didn’t feel healthy even though I swam for many hours every day, and I didn’t feel like my body reflected the fiercely-competitive athlete that I was inside.
Going through Coach B’s RIPT Performance program at Training Ground OC has helped me not only crush my previous best race times in every event that I compete in (and even helped me set a national record in 2012), but has totally transformed my body into something that I am proud of. People now can tell just by looking at me that I am a competitive swimmer and I just feel better all around with a lot more energy throughout the day. I now understand why weight training is crucial for any athlete and why simply doing “your sport” just isn’t enough if you want to dominate.

“I’ve Lost 20 lbs, 10% body fat and gained a ton of strength!”
Lauren lost 20 pounds in 5 months!
Hi, I’m Lauren and I want to share my amazing experience with Coach B and Training Ground OC! I originally came to Coach B because I wanted to get into better shape, learn how to work different parts of my body effectively and try something out of my comfort zone. I’d never really worked out in the typical sense of the word before training with the TGX program, so there was definitely a learning curve! However, Coach B has a real ability to impart his exercise knowledge onto his clients–it wasn’t long before I was doing full-body olympic lifts with perfect form!
In 5 months so far with TGX and CORE Condition Fitness Camp I’ve lost 20 lbs of pure body fat, tons of inches and gone from 30% body fat down to 20%! Yet, even though I was losing weight, I still managed to greatly increase my strength during this time–it’s been amazing! My muscle tone has increased so much that I don’t even recognize old pictures of myself!

“My strength exploded, I lost 30 lbs and now I love strength training!”
Daniel lost 31 pounds in 3 months!
I joined Training Ground OC because I was frustrated with my strength and my body. I felt like one person on the inside, but everyone saw a different person outside. I was embarrassed by the fact that I couldn’t even do a single push-up or squat correctly.
Since I began training with RIPT Performance and CORE Condition, I’ve lost just over 30 pounds and started wearing clothes that fit me well. I now feel more energetic, confident, healthy and most of all, STRONG. I don’t have that nagging stress about not eating well or forgetting to exercise because I’ve now made fitness and nutrition part of my lifestyle.
I recommend the programs at Training Ground OC to anyone who thinks that they are out of the ordinary and that they have some special reason that they can’t get healthier—or the ones who think they’re too busy to go to the gym, or to eat properly. It’s nothing more than an excuse-mentality and this is one of the first things that I learned to break away from thanks to Coach B.
