Liz is truly Amazing! She’s a great coach and knows what’s she’s doing! She genuinely cares about the people she trains and I highly recommended her. Classes are small enough where she’s able to focus on everyone and gives great pointers and suggestions.

I starting coming to Liz 9 months ago. She takes time to learn what your goals are and works with you where you are at. The environment she creates is comfortable and safe. I’ve gained a new sense of confidence because of her and her program. I’d recommend Westside Personal Training to anyone, of any age and ability.

I started working out with Liz in 2024, and it's been a wonderful experience. She listened to my goals and tailors our workouts and my overall fitness plan accordingly. I'm almost forty and feel as healthy as I ever have. I think their focus on safety, longevity, and an extremely individualized approach probably sets her and Alex apart from others. I'd recommend them to anyone. She's also fun to hang out with while you're working out, which shouldn't matter, but beats the alternative.

Liz is amazing! Her space is welcoming and perfect for individual or small group training. It is difficult to find a trainer and facility where you don't feel intimidated, but this is not the case with Westside Personal Training.

I’ve loved Westside Personal training since my first session. Both Liz and Alex are extremely knowledgable in the fitness industry and hold themselves to a high standard. I’ve gained a whole new outlook on taking care of your body and building up muscle I didn’t know I had. They make the one on one training as personal as it gets when it comes to attention to detail and your desired goals. Would absolutely recommend 👍🏻💪🏻
