The Study Santa Monica - Santa Monica (CA)

5 /5 Brooke Rachman: 5 Stars - Highly Recommend The Study! Ive been training for my first fitness race, and Im so glad I found The Study! I signed up for 6 private EMS training sessions with Karen, and its been an incredible experience. The facility is spotless, and the atmosphere is welcoming. It includes everything you need to recover after a tough session - cold plunge, sauna, and showers. The staff is knowledgeable and really takes the time to ensure youre getting the most out of your training. Karen is an absolute professional. Every session with her feels focused and personalized, and its like the world disappears while were training - shes that good at keeping you engaged and pushing you to reach your potential. Im already noticing amazing results and cant wait for my next session! I highly recommend The Study to anyone looking for top-notch one-on-one personal training. Whether youre new to fitness or training for a race like me, this place is the real deal!

5 /5 Michelle Lai: My husband and I just completed a semester at The Study with Alexander as our trainer and it has been life changing. The training we received from Alexander was completely customized to what our strengths, weaknesses, & goals were and it was FUN. He didn’t just train us, but educated us in a way that set us on a path to continue our health & fitness journey outside of our session. The coaching extended into more than just fitness but into our personal lives. Alexander is really dedicated to his clients success- even checking in post semester. This paired with the awesome nutrition coaching w Gabby has been invaluable! The nutrition guidance has been such a key element missing in my life. I feel so much better, more energized, focused, & my recovery after diving is much quicker!! We did regular in house body comp scans and we both saw great results without being overly invested in the results. The education and sustainability of our workouts was priority and we really appreciated that focus! Facilities are impeccably clean w/shower, sauna, cold plunge- everything you’d need. Plus easy parking lot. Alexander, Gabby, Julian, & the rest of the team are great trainers/coaches who know their stuff… I feel truly grateful to have found such a top notch team and I look forward to another semester in the future!!

5 /5 R J: My experience at The Study working with Alexander Bruce was incredible. Background: My wife was looking for personal coaching to improve her fitness. I joined her for an initial consultation with studio owner, Alexander Bruce which was fantastic. Alexanders approach to training and fitness resonated and we signed up for one semester. Alexander is a kind, patient coach who has deep knowledge, and vast tool kit and would surprise in a great way for reach of our training sessions with him. Over the semester, I learned invaluable ways to build strength, agility and flexibility which I can implement and use for the rest of my life. Over the semester I was able to make gains in adding muscle and greatly improving strength in one of my lower extremities. That latter gave me confidence to lift more weight and challenge myself. Our semester also included calls with a dietician (Gabby )along with access to sauna, cold plunge and massage therapy appointments. The facility is exceptionally clean and equipped. My meetings with Gabby shared useful insights which were terrific. My wife and I both had a sub one day training with Julian who was outstanding. Once we wrapped up our semester, Alexander provided us extremely useful "Study Abroad" materials which I am using daily. Im incredibly grateful to have been able to train under Alexanders exemplary guidance and looking forward to being able to train in the future at The Study.

5 /5 Celia Adelson: UPDATED: I just finished training for my first ever race (10k) and I’m so thankful for the support I received to achieve my goal from the team at The Study. Manny tailored my sessions in the gym to keep me injury-free throughout, created a customized training plan that worked for my schedule, and offered practical nutrition recommendations, all of which set me up for success. Now I’m excited to build on this base and partner with The Study to keep unlocking new challenges! _____________________________________ I’ve been training at The Study for two years and I’m extremely happy with the results. I’ve gained mobility and strength, and I feel great. The space and equipment are well planned and super clean. The trainers are true professionals with a wealth of knowledge and the ability to customize the training to your goals and work with your individual idiosyncrasies and past injuries. That same care and customization are brought to the wrap around services offered. Whether it’s sauna and cold plunge for after workouts, nutrition advice or massage, or even alternative training modalities like electrostym, the focus is always on making your fitness journey a success. I look forward to going, which is not something I ever thought I’d say about exercise.

5 /5 Drew: Alexander is a miracle worker! He was able to help me restore full mobility in my shoulders and we eliminated my knee pain. Between the strength training and nutrition plan, I havent felt this good in years. The facility and equipment are top notch. Ill see you next semester!
