I have been part of the fitness section of In Motion OC for a little over a month, and I am so glad I signed up! After doing physical therapy at the same location I was technically good to go, but I am really benefitting from the additional strengthening of my lower back. The classes are highly streamlined with an app to schedule your own times, and the instructors are laid back and great to work with. The regulars at this gym are not the typical buff guys but 80-year old retirees who can nevertheless lift twice what I can at half their age. There are people of other ages too - overall a great experience and a treat you can do to your body.

Katelyn and Mark are incredibly knowledgeable about physiology and exercises. They know what helps all the physical activities I do outside the gym. They are always super helpful and accommodating when planning around things like races or even just work.

This is the longest I’ve stayed with any type of workout program. The trainers are engaged and attentive. The facility is clean and well maintained. I feel energized at the end of every workout.

I’ve been coming to this gym for the past 1.5 years, after completing 6 months of physical therapy for severe back pain. The experience has been really great! The coaches are incredibly attentive and knowledgeable, always making sure my workouts are safe and tailored to my needs, ensuring my back issues are never aggravated. Thanks to their guidance, I feel stronger and healthier than I have in years. I highly recommend this gym for anyone looking for personalized care and real results.

IMOC is a unique fitness experience! I come from an athlete background and I’ve always stayed active, but after a neck injury I felt down and out for a couple years…coming out of a great experience on the PT side, I needed coaching in the gym to help me overcome my mental fears of injuring myself again and gaining back strength. Thank you Edgar & Mark for helping me not only unlearn some old habits, but also to expand my mind and challenge me in different ways that have helped me not only in the gym, but in life!

I've been at In Motion OC in Irvine since they began the fitness program 15 years ago! I've stayed this long because I enjoy the small group training sessions and the proximity to the physical therapy clinic next door. When I've had to rehab injuries, the communication between the trainers and physical therapists was seamless. The trainers are attentive, challenging, and care about the whole person!

In Motion O.C. Fitness in Irvine is a fantastic gym for anyone looking to get personalized fitness training. The standout feature of this facility is the trainers. They are not only knowledgeable but also genuinely care about tailoring workouts to meet individual needs, whether you’re recovering from an injury, looking to build strength, or just want to stay fit. The personalized approach makes each session effective and enjoyable. Overall, a great place for focused and results-driven training.

I went to IMOC fitness from 2017 until COVID in early 2020, then started back up Jan 2024. Both times, I have done the eight, 1-hour, semi-private training sessions per month. The app has a pretty good user interface for signing up for classes (and cancelling if necessary). My favorite aspect of IMOC, and what I think is their biggest differentiator, is the deep connection to physical therapy. Many of the fitness trainers also have experience in physical therapy, so they have been able to help me work through a number of injuries and tailer my workouts around that. That is a big deal! They have helped me understand my pain better than I otherwise could have, and have given me exercises, stretches, and rolling techniques to help solve the problem. For example, I had shoulder pain for months in late 2023, and they helped me strengthen and get my shoulder to a place where I could use it without pain in the first month or two of 2024. More recently, they added more rigorous fitness tracking to the program, which is nice. The equipment is diverse and good quality too (I particularly love the sled). All of the trainers are friendly and encouraging. They are good at staying below the line where encouragement can turn into something more negative. I have always felt welcome and comfortable in that space, and it very much doesn't have a toxic gymbro vibe at all. The other clients I work out next too are quite diverse in background, age, and fitness level, which gives the place a good vibe.

I was introduced to IMOC Fitness when I was in P.T. for an injury. From day one, the trainers worked with me to ensure that my strength training addresses my goals and abilities. The trainers are outstanding and the environment is friendly and fun. I look forward to spending time with my IMOC Fitness community.

I had to re-hab from a serious cervical spine surgery. When I was deciding on what Physical Therapy center to go to, I had a friend recommend IMOC which she had used and successfully treated a serious shoulder injury. IMOC hit it out of the park with me. I'm a musician who was unable to play due to the cervical spine issues causing numbness in both hands.. After PT at IMOC I regained full use of my hands and am playing away. The post surgical re-hab was critical in regaining function, and preventing re-lapse. Once released from PT, I continued my work in their fitness center that has been vital to increasing strength and mobility. Every therapist I have worked with here has been fantastic, proactive, attentive with great positive energy. I feel like they have become friends as well as healers. Fabulous place. highest recommendation.

I've been going to this gym for almost one year and my overall fitness has improved drastically, I feel healthier, and I love all the customized care from all the trainers. Would highly recommend!

I have been with IMOC for years and there are dang good reasons for that! 3 of those reasons being Edgar, Kaitlyn and Mark. The best of the best! For me, I find that after an injury (I’ve had plenty) it’s easy to get into this mental block. At IMOC the trainers are super knowledgeable and great about tailoring your workouts to ensure you’re challenged without the fear of re-injuring yourself. They keep me accountable and motivated and have fun team activities like movie nights where you can bring the fam, and weekend hikes where you can get away from the fam! (Jk kinda lol) Either way, IMOC is like family and I highly recommend coming here if you want to better yourself mentally and physically.

I transitioned to IMOC fitness after completing PT at IMOC (also fantastic) and it’s been such a good experience. I had surgery and was scared to weight lift. The trainers safely pushed me past my fears and I am finally getting to a place where the gym isn’t scary. They are patient and cater to your specific restrictions, needs, and goals. Definitely worth the time!

2024-08-13T22:16:19.697Z

Great, well run facility! Trainers are very knowledgeable, good at instruction and personalization, even in group classes. (Shout out to Katelyn, who is awesome.)

I have been attending IMOC Fitness classes for over 6 years. I came over originally from the PT side with the intent of strengthening my back and core. But over time I have found my entire body strengthened. Perhaps the best part are the coaches! They encourage and laugh with you as you work. My confidence in their knowledge of what is good for building cardio and strength allows me to relax and (mostly) enjoy the workout.

I initially began my journey with IMOC as a patient following a terrible fall. The IMOC Physical Therapy team guided me through recovery until surgery became necessary. When I learned about IMOC expanding their fitness program to Huntington Beach, I was intrigued. Having been mostly sedentary post-fall, I was eager to regain strength and mobility for life's adventures. Remarkably, I was able to start with IMOC Fitness even while in a cast and on a scooter! Under Edgar and his IMOC Fitness team's guidance, I prepared for the cast removal by strengthening my leg and entire body. Their tailored approach, even amidst my injury limitations, ensured I was ready to transition back on my feet post-surgery. While Physical Therapy targeted specific body parts, IMOC Fitness focused on holistic readiness for life's challenges. IMOC Fitness is far from a typical gym or trainer workout. With semi-private groups of fewer than 5 people, workouts are customized to individual needs, contrary to what you would get with other trainers or fitness classes. They really know their stuff and understand the science behind it. As a bonus, I've shed about 25 pounds and 5% body fat in the last year. Without IMOC Fitness, I wouldn't feel as confident and strong in the world. For anyone seeking ongoing strength and readiness for life's journeys, IMOC Fitness is the ultimate destination.

I enthusiastically endorse IMOC fitness for so many reasons. I am a 60 plus year old guy who has had trainers at LA Fitness and Equinox. The experience at IMOC blows them out of the water (by far). I’ve been at IMOC for about 5 months. The first thing I’d like to emphasize is that all 5 trainers are the best I’ve ever experienced (by far). They genuinely care about you. They are extremely knowledgeable and explain the reasons behind what they are asking you to. They regularly check to make sure as to how you are doing physically. When I’ve been a drop sore, the trainers have gone above and beyond to help me. I appreciate that. Each trainer designs a program specific for you. They listen, they care, they are great. Kudos to Edgar, Katelyn, Kevin, and Mark. In terms of cost, I find IMOC extremely affordable for what you are getting in return. Equinox was about $1,500 per month plus the $300 monthly gym cost . Ouch. The thing I want to emphasize is the trainers, the workout experience and the workout space at IMOC is vastly superior to a place like Equinox at a fraction of the cost. As a 60 plus year old male, I decided to prioritize my fitness. I am so glad I chose IMOC in my fitness quest. Oh, by the way, IMOC is community oriented. I love that in a monthly basis they offer hikes and other get- togethers for their members. I want to give a big shout out to Edgar and his team. I’m grateful for the team at IMIC.
