I'm 73 and have been been at Milagros for nearly three years working with multiple trainers 2x a week. The facility is second to none – bright, clean, friendly. The trainers I've worked with have been fantastic. I went there with a goal of increasing muscle mass – not becoming a gym rat, because I'm not one. Most importantly, I've exceeded my personal goals and have never felt intimidated... but have learned enough to feel comfortable in gyms when traveling.

My wife and I started working out at Milagros in April 2024. Both of us have desk jobs and suffer from a sedentary life. We both have had lower back tightness/pain from sitting all day, and just an overall lack of energy.
We both need help with our diet and needed to lose each 15–20 pounds. We see our Trainer 3 days a week for an hour each workout, and it's been life changing! Now my wife and I have taken up Pickleball in addition to our workouts, and we can finally call ourselves FIT!
We highly recommend Milagros! It's very clean, private, and the trainers are all very helpful and professional!

It would be nice to leave a positive review but my experience has been a joke. The facility is good and my trainer (what little I’ve seen of him) is nice and seems knowledgeable, but this is a very poorly run gym.
A week after starting, my trainer Dominic went away to Japan. I was notified a couple days before he left and told I could work out with another trainer the following week. When she finally got back to me with her availability, the timeslots were impossible for me as I have client meetings of my own.
Today, I showed up for my regularly scheduled appointment and my trainer was still in Japan. Such poor communication! The gym’s owner, Marcus, doesn’t seem to care. No apology, no offer to find a time or trainer - he just looked puzzled and showed me his phone that indicated when my trainer would be back from his trip.
I do not appreciate people who cannot manage their schedule or their business. Hire more staff and get it together. It's a big step for many people to commit to a training routine. For those of us who find sticking to a workout routine challenging, having a bad experience is a good reason to stay away. I'm really disappointed and frustrated by their awful communication.
And if you’re shopping for a private gym, I only recommend Milagros if you’re comfortable being jerked around. What a shame. I paid for 10 sessions in advance so will keep trying to make this work but Milagros sure isn't making it easy.

Milagros is a great place for personal training. I workout there along with both of my parents with Marcus. He is extremely knowledgeable and makes the time pass quick! I would recommend this place to anyone who is looking for tailored personal training in an intimate environment.

My wife started working out here before our wedding about a year and a half ago, and I noticed results in her pretty quickly. I was super proud of her progress! I’d stop by the gym to pick her up sometimes and met Marcus, the owner. The gym is spacious, clean, and really well kept. Marcus is super friendly and definitely knows his stuff.
Eventually my wife, Sammy, talked me into joining her for a few sessions, and Marcus does not mess around! We’ve both had awesome workouts with him. Highly recommend Milagros if you’re looking for personal training!

I started working out at Milagros just after things started opening up after Covid in early 2021. I was literally 40 pounds overweight, and I needed a place that could hold me accountable and work with me on diet. It’s now August / 2025 and I’ve not only lost 40 pounds of fat, but I’ve transformed my whole body with lean muscle, and I have more energy than I know what to do with!
I’m not really a gym person, which is why I love Milagros because it’s private, and I don’t have to deal with crowds. All the trainers there are really encouraging, and if you’re serious about getting results, and want to put your health in the hands of real accredited trainers, this is the place!

Milagros Fitness is the best personal training facility my partner and I have ever experienced.
What makes it so? My trainers. Emma, Lane, and Marcus are respectful and understanding of my interests and goals. They ask questions and listen to my responses, enabling them to tailor every workout. They each focus heavily on form and detail which, for me, is crucially important to get the most out of my training experiences.
The facility is wonderfully maintained, clean, bright and airy, and never crowded. I have even had the opportunity to choose the music to listen to while I work out!
I am doubtful I could find a better environment and, much more, better trainers with whom to work. Thank you, Emma, Marcus, and Lane, for making my workouts special for me!

On a month-long vacation in Solana Beach, my wife and I joined Milagros PTC. Marcus the owner is very friendly and always helpful. We both enjoyed early morning workouts individually with the same trainer Emma. She provided us both with functional exercises that were fresh and new to us, along with other strength exercises involving machines and free weights. Emma helped us stay in shape while vacationing!
The gym is very clean and uncrowded, and each client is given full attention by one of their professional trainers. They also have a few machines to use for cardio fitness. We highly recommend Milagros if you’re looking for a personalized training program in Solana Beach.

Milagros is an outstanding, small, friendly intimate training gym where, like “Cheers,” everyone knows your name. Personal trainer Dominic tailors workouts to my abilities and challenges me without pushing too hard. He has extensive experience with people of a certain age! After several months of training, I feel stronger both mentally and physically. Highly recommend both him and the gym.

Milagros‘s trainers are some of the most professional that I’ve ever met. And I’ve been receiving personal training for 40+ years now…
Marcus runs a very professional business and he’s always making improvements to the facility, hence they just renovated and remodeled the whole place this year.

I’ve been putting off working out for 25 years, and my wife finally convinced me to start with a Trainer. We went on Google and the first place that came up that had the best reviews was Milagros Fitness! I spoke with Marcus and he went through a whole questionnaire on my history of exercise and my expectations and goals. I then came in for a complementary session with one of his trainers and I have been working out twice a week consistently for the last year and a half. I love it!
The last place I wanted to go is some busy gym with a bunch unqualified trainers. All the trainers at Milagros are professional, and you can tell are educated! This place has really made a difference in my life, and I really owe it to Milagros and my wife!

Been a client of Milagros since April of 2024. I work out with Dominic 3 days a week and it's literally been the best investment I've ever made. I sleep better at night, I have more energy throughout the day, and overall, i just feel like I finally become the best version of myself. I had a lot of back pain from sitting all day working remotely. We started doing a lot of functional core training and now my back pain is completely gone.
I highly recommend Milagros fitness!

I’m a 53 year old woman, and I started working out at Milagros in May of 2023. My first impressions of the facility were very clean, light and bright, and a non-intimidating/inviting space that I felt welcomed and comfortable in. Within a week all the trainers knew my name, and they always greet me as soon as I walk in the door. I’ve Lost 17 pounds and have so much energy throughout my day. My confidence has gone up, and I’m consistently in a better mood since I’m feeling in shape!
Highly recommend any of the trainers at Milagros Fitness, this place has changed my life!

I walk my dog on Cedros avenue and have always noticed Milagros Fitness. Some of my neighbors work out there and I’ve always heard great things. So, I went in for a complementary session and have been hooked ever since. I’ve lost weight and feel great, and I love that I can do the cardio on my off days which is included in the service. Marcus runs an amazing business, and his trainers do an amazing job. My husband has now been working out there for the last two years and loves it!

Getting started with my personal trainer and Milagros literally has been life changing! I haven’t had much experience working with a personal trainer and the last place I wanted to go is a busy gym. The appeal of working with a trainer in a private facility was enticing. Milagros is a perfect environment for me, and it’s a couple blocks from the beach so they get great ocean breezes. The owner does an amazing job of keeping the facility immaculate and he’s always updating with new equipment. I highly recommend Milagros Fitness!

My experience at Milagros has been nothing short of excellent and I look forward to continuing here for years to come.
As a college student, I searched for a personal training regimen that is receptive and geared towards my goals and accommodates my busy schedule. Lane has done a fantastic job designing and carrying out a holistic and comprehensive exercise routine that addresses the entire body - from mobility to cardio, conditioning to strength training. At the end of each session, I truly feel that I am making substantial progress and improving, and am therefore motivated to keep pushing towards the next level of strength and health.
Big thanks to Marcus for creating such a fun and relaxed atmosphere that supports and promotes well-rounded and sustainable lifestyles for the whole community. I wholeheartedly recommend Milagros!

I’m so fortunate to have been a visitor to beautiful Solana Beach in California . While there, I discovered the amazing Milagros Personal Training Center. My first session with the owner, Marcus Bornstein, was the Best I’ve ever had with a personal trainer. He’s a true professional, a good listener and his gym is immaculate as well as attractive. He and the other trainers sanitize all the equipment after each use. That was important to me. A wonderful ocean breeze moves through the gym while you work out.I booked as many sessions as I could before I had to sadly leave and head back home.
If you’re in Solana Beach or near it, give your body and healthcare a real boost by working with Marcus to improve your strength, balance and overall sense of well being. I can’t wait to get back to Milagros!
Thank you, Marcus.

I’ve been working out at Milagros since 2018 and it’s completely changed my life! I’ve tried so many ways to lose weight, and it’s always been such a failed experience and never for the long-term. When I had my first training session at Milagros, they created a realistic lifestyle change for me that I’ve consistently been doing and love! The weight has stayed off, and now I have muscle tone and endless energy which I’ve never had before. The facility is immaculate! I love how close it is to the beach, and all the trainers encourage you and are so much fun!
Try Milagros, you too will see the life change!

I started working out at this gym not too long ago and am already seeing results. Not having much of a workout history and not wanting to be working out in front of a lot of people in a gym are some of the top reasons I chose Milagros to begin with. I initially contacted Milagros to discuss the feasibility of obtaining some fitness goals I have in a short time-frame. I am getting married in October and want to tone up, fast! I have the pleasure of working with Marcus, the owner of the gym. He took me on and is "whipping" me into shape with high energy, fun, and focus. If you are open to suggestion when it comes to diet, he is also very knowledgeable in that realm. I am vegetarian, so I welcome all of his suggestions on how to incorporate more protein into my diet. The facility itself is very clean, open, and inviting. It's not a far distance from the beach, so you get that ocean breeze coming in, which is lovely. The other trainers there are also amazingly warm and friendly. Overall, I have had a great experience with Marcus at Milagros. I am so thankful!

Reviews are accurate! This is a high quality personal training center, by appointment only, not a crowded gym.
It is clean and bright, very welcoming.
The owner, Marcus, has been in business here for decades and really knows what he is doing.
After my doctor prescribed weight training for me, I searched online where I saw Milagros, among other places. I drove over to see it for myself and was impressed.
After an introductory phone call and an introductory session, I signed up.
Thrilled with the training and my progress!

Love this gym! They just get me. I need the motivation they supply, they make it fun, personal, and it's beautiful and newly redecorated. Marcus has been consistently running a great business for years, and my trainer Lane works closely with me because I have back and balance issues. He is encouraging and makes it fun. I had started going to physical therapy for my back and noticed everything they were doing in physical therapy I was already doing with Lane. He always make sure I'm comfortable with the exercises we do, and it certainly has worked well for me. Thank you guys for all you do!

I actually LOVE going to THIS gym!
If, like me, you tend to postpone working out, and risk not “getting around to” going at all, give Milagros a try!
I frequently walked past this gym with my dog, and one day, curiosity led us inside. After a complimentary first-time training session, I knew that I’d found the gym for me!
Each session with Marcus (the owner) challenges you, while keeping you motivated, ensuring that you're consistently progressing without dreading the next workout. And I’ve observed the same personalized guidance as Lane works with his clients.
Whether your goal is strength, endurance, and/or flexibility, the trainers at Milagros will ensure that you enjoy the journey. The gym is newly renovated, the atmosphere is friendly and welcoming - and the breeze from the west-facing doors is delightful!
If you’re looking for one-to-one personal training, this place is a gem!

I’ve been training with James at Milagros Fitness since 2019. I originally started seeing him for posture correction, and body awareness. My doctor referred me to see a Personal Trainer who has a PT background, and that’s how I found Milagros. All the Trainers there are degreed and accredited which was very important to me. It’s a very beautiful facility and the location is right on Cedros ave.
Highly recommend any of the trainers there, and really love the results I’ve accomplished. Thank you, Milagros.

Ive religiously been doing Pilates and yoga for many years, and I actually discovered Milagros Fitness right across the street from where I do Pilates. A couple of the women were saying such great things about the results they were getting, and I decided to walk over and inquire about their personal training. I got lucky because I was able to actually work with Marcus who is the owner. But, I can’t say enough great things about his staff of trainers, because they’re all so professional and personable. The facility is amazing! It’s super clean and light and bright, and most importantly, I love the fact that it’s private and everyone there really is focused on their goals. Most importantly, I really feel that all the trainers are very focused and invested in their clients. Even though I work out with Marcus, The other trainers make it known to say hello, and even give me encouragement when I am working out.
I really like the fact that they offer a real hour complementary workout so you don’t feel pressured to commit. But after that first session, I was on board with three days a week and it’s been so rewarding! The results in my body are showing so much my friends are noticing, but also how I feel AWESOME!
I recommend Milagros Fitness 100%!!

I was in the Solana Beach area this summer and wanted to continue working out with a trainer. I did my research, called and spoke with Marcus at Milagros. Marcus and I spoke for 15-20 minutes as he asked for my goals, my current training regimen, health, etc. He said he would get back to me with a recommendation for a trainer. Marcus paired me up with Lane - what a blessing! Lane was personable, diligent, paid great attention to the detail of my form on exercises, and was a delight. Lane and I worked out twice a week for almost seven weeks until I had to come back home.
I will use this gym when I am back in town. Fun and friendly environment in a great location with plenty of parking around.

Milagros personal training center is outstanding. The equipment is beautifully maintained so that it is clean and always functional. All other aspects of the facility are well cared for. With substantial east west ventilation generated by an ocean breeze a significant fraction of the time, the facility is pleasant even on most of the hottest days. The owner (Marcus) does an excellent job of selecting trainers, and every trainer I’ve worked with in the past five years has been simply outstanding. Highlights include attention to detail, such as safe form, and design of workouts, so that they are challenging, but not over the top. Simply an outstanding place for regular workouts.

My trainer, James, is perfect for me, but it's clear the others are great, too, and are always welcoming and friendly. It's my first experience with facilities/training that you never have to wait for someone else to finish ahead of you. Highly recommend!

I started with Milagros a few years ago but had to take a hiatus for some unrelated medical issues, not the least of which was a full knee replacement. Now I’m back and am appreciating the workouts more than ever. Marcus and his staff are very friendly and knowledgeable. I’m able to get a great workout without aggravating some of my problem areas (lower back) because Marcus listens to me and can always find alternatives to working specific muscle groups. Great atmosphere. Very clean. Dog friendly. If you are looking for a great personal training experience, I can highly recommend Milagros.

I have been referring people to Marcus and his amazing team from Milagros fitness in Solana Beach for well over 2, going on 3 decades. Many times when my clients are asking for a state of the art, clean, super friendly personal training facility…and a place that actually “listens” to my clients in the fitness industry, I send them right up the street to Solana Beach.
I actually love the idea that there personal trainers have college degrees and are accredited in the fitness industry. These type of standards in the fitness field are unmatched and needed for sure.
To be blatantly, honest, I’m very particular where I send people because my reputation is at stake for the referral and Marcus and his team fill that need for me and my clients.

My neighbor told me about Milagros Fitness in Solana Beach!
After going on their website and reading their reviews, I felt good about putting my body’s health in their hands. I have concerns with my neck, and after physical therapy, I needed a place that could take care of the rest of my body’s fitness needs. I originally spoke with the owner Marcus. He asked all the right questions about my history of exercise, any medications I might be on, if I had any injuries, and my expectations and goals. He gave me a complementary session with one of his trainers. I’ve been working with Lane for the last eight months and I really see a difference! He’s really patient, and very knowledgeable regarding rehabilitative exercise, and I really look forward to our sessions.
I also love how clean Milagros is and professional all the trainers are. Highly recommended!

I can’t say enough positive things about Milagros! After many failed attempts at attending to public gyms and trying to work out on my own, I finally decided to hire a trainer! My trainer's name is Lane. My first session was free, so I didn’t feel any obligation. He was professional, patient, and educated since all the trainers at Milagros have actual degrees (not just some certification that you take online like most of the other trainers I’ve interviewed).
I really felt like we connected in the first 15 minutes of our session. It’s been four months since I started. We meet twice a week for two weeks of the month, and three times a week for the other two weeks. His knowledge of nutrition and the training program he designed for me is something I appreciate. In preparation for my competition, I've lost 22 pounds. In the fitness category, I placed third.
My fitness goals/dreams were realized thanks to Lane and Milagros!

I’ve been working out at Milagros for 2 years now. When I joined in the middle of the pandemic, at 45 years old I had found myself out of shape and trying different fad diets that did not lead to the results that I was looking for. It was unsustainable and led to weight gain over time. The highly qualified trainers at Milagros not only helped me build the muscle I needed to fuel my metabolism, but they also got me off the fad diet trends and consulted me on a consistent program I could adhere to. I’m finally getting back to where I was in my late 20s and it is directly attributed to Milagros and the skill of Marcus the owner and his staff. The facility is clean, not crowded and has all of the equipment necessary to get a full body workout in. I highly recommend Milagros!

Milagros is so much more than just a personal training center, it's a sanctuary and respite for the world where all aspects of your physical health are considered, and then accounted for. The owner, Marcus, and Lane, my trainer, care deeply for their clientele, and demonstrate this care in multiple ways. From the comfort of a beautiful and pristine facility, to a regularly evolving personalized fitness plan, to the warmth and care that you are much more than just someone who needs to exercise. Your 1:1 time provides you with strength that transcends every aspect of your life. Your tailored plan addresses any challenges or physical restrictions, and then quickly produces results that eliminate these hurdles!! Whether you are young or old, or somewhere in the middle, healthy or restricted, feel amazing or in pain, don't wait to take advantage of your first complimentary session. Milgros changed my life, it will change yours too.

I started working out at Milagros a year after the pandemic in February 2021. What an awesome space to workout in, clean, lots of equipment, beautiful environment and knowledgeable trainers! It's a couple blocks from the beach and the fresh ocean air is a big plus for me, since gyms typically have poor airflow. I look forward to my workouts, which I never used to do with my last trainer since it was in a public busy gym. Everyone knows each other at the hour I work out at and I've actually made some great friends at Milagros! Highly recommended!

I knew I needed the expertise and extra push that only a good personal trainer could give me beyond my normal peleton and strength training. What a great facility and even greater people. The trainers are excellent and have a very personalized approach that is helping me reach my goals. The atmosphere is amazing and the clientele and trainers all know each other and support each other. This is the first review I have ever written on any business which tells me I am a big fan of Marcus and his team. Personalized approach , intelligent trainers and friendly environment--cant speak more highly of them...Don Moser

I work out at the Milagros Personal Training Center and have had all positive experiences there with the trainers. As a disabled Marine Veteran with a bad back, I have spent the better part of my post-military life trying to find an exercise program that works. After meeting with Marcus, I realized I was onto something that could work for me. After just a few sessions I noticed that my back didn’t “go out” any more so I decided to stick with it and see just how long this would work.
It’s been 18 months now and my back occasionally “going out” is a thing of the past. My wife and I both work out together since there is a plan that allows us to share a personal trainer and that has been a huge benefit. We have trained with Marcus, Laura, and most recently Lane and each trainer has their unique “twist” that accomplishes our personal goals, but each in a slightly different manner.
Lane is the newest trainer at Milagros and is doing the job just fine of kicking our butts to ensure our core continues to strengthen along with including a whole body workout. My wife and I both work out two to three times a week and the trainers do their best to accommodate our work schedules.
There are a multitude of free weights and cable systems, as well as exercise bikes and elliptical machines, and much more. Marcus takes pride in keeping the facility clean and tidy, and we even on occasion bring our puppy “Mike” since Milagros is dog friendly. You can’t say you can do that at many other workout centers.
The facility is located off Cedros in Solana Beach so getting a post workout bite to eat and a coffee is just a few steps away. Parking has never been a problem and the ocean breeze that whips through the facility is a welcome addition that seems to cool you off when you need it the most.
I highly recommend Milagros for anyone looking for a personal trainer that is not just a cookie cutter trainer like some of the other larger corporate workout facilities.

I come down to Del Mar for the summer racing meet. I am a professional Jockey that needs to maintain a certain fitness up keep. Milagros did just that! Marcus is a great personal trainer who pushes you past your limits and helps motivate you to do better! I would highly recommend this gym to anyone who would like to see results fast!

I cant say enough great things about this gym. Its everything i could want and i wish i could clone this to be in every city i am in always. The gym is clean and has all top equipment. There is plenty of space and never crowded. All the trainers really know what they are doing and understand more than just lifting but about injuries and the body and movement. James is my personal trainer here and he is the best trainer ive ever had, understands my sciatica injury and ways around it to build muscle. Love this place!

My sister started working out here with Marcus, and she said such great things. After seeing her results and hearing how much she loved working out here, I had to try it myself. My trainer, Lane, is fantastic. Lane and Marcus model the way with their kind demeanor, professionalism, and personal health and wellbeing. I’ve had great experiences here, and I highly recommend Milagros. This place has such great, sincere, empathetic trainers. They’ll help you get the results you’re looking for.

I'm not a customer of Milagros, but I'm compelled to write a five-star review. My wife has been going to Milagros for the last several months. She turned 50 this year, and due to her experience at Milagros she is in the best shape of her life! She has always been fit, through running, cycling and other aerobic activities. But, she was never really happy with the results of her efforts. She always hated the gym, and really tried to avoid it. Given the big birthday she decided to give personal training a try. She definitely had some failed first attempts. But, she finally found the right trainer and facility when she chose Milagros. Her trainer worked with her on specific goals, and she has exceeded all of them. He took the time to really understand what she wanted and crafted a program that delivers. She works hard, but loves going. Anytime someone becomes fitter, stronger, more flexible, more energetic and happier, the partner is bound to reap the benefits! Thanks to the great folks at Milagros Personal Training Center!

Milagros is the place! My fitness goal was to lose weight, which started 10 years ago! I tried everything from going to a public gym, trying group fitness classes and even joining a walking club. Nothing worked, so my wife got me a gift certificate to start with my trainer James at Milagros…
It’s been 2 years and I’ve lost 27 pounds! I’m 57, and I now weigh the same as I did when I was 30, and my body has muscle tone. James holds me accountable to my 3 days a week, and he has me on a food plan that works! All the trainers at Milagros are really encouraging, and you can tell the owner takes pride in the facility, since it’s always immaculate!
If you’re looking for real professional trainers that know how to achieve your fitness goals, Milagros is the place!

I’ve been personally trained by 6 different trainers in the 30 years I’ve been working out. They all have been at health clubs/gyms with members working out at the same time. So, I never knew personal training could be so focused and rewarding at Milagros! I can honestly say I get almost twice as much work done in the hour at this facility because there’s no waiting for equipment or distractions! It’s always clean, and the other trainers and clients are like a big happy family! I highly recommend it!

I’ve been a client of Milagros since 2018. The consistent upbeat, friendly atmosphere together with trainers that are focused, knowledgeable and professional is unmatched. The results I have achieved in comparison to other personal trainers that I’ve worked out with is beyond compare. I have complete trust in how Marcus works with me to gain the optimal strength my body can achieve. Milagros has changed my life and view of what is possible for me. Highly recommended!

I’ve been working out at Milagros since 2015 and it has changed my life! The trainers are all well educated, accredited, and very professional. I love that there’s no initiation or membership fees. You get discounted rates when you buy a package and they are fairly priced. I also come in the morning before work and love their shower facility. It’s so clean!!

If you are looking for a personal trainer, I recommend Milagros in Solana Beach. I tried a couple of other fitness clubs beforehand but none of them compare. My husband and I have been their clients for 7 years, and train 3 times per week. The trainers are excellent, the best that I’ve ever worked with and while they focus on fitness they will never force you beyond your capabilities. You will be happy here whether you are a beginner or highly advanced individual. Given my trainer’s (Laura) uncanny ability to read my body, I always leave feeling exhilarated from a thorough workout ( even if a bit tired in a good way). Moreover I’ve never been hurt in all of these years. Their knowledge of fitness, health, injury prevention and recovery is remarkable. There are always new clients, but you will quickly realize that many of their clients have been there for years, well beyond our 7 years stint. Both the trainers and clients are very friendly and the facility itself has everything that you might ever want or need. Cleanliness is very important to me and one of the first things you will notice upon entry is just how clean this facility truly is. Even at the height of Covid I felt quite safe here and continue to be grateful for the airflow throughout the facility that keeps everyone both comfortable and safe. You will find that the owner and trainer (Markus) is very accommodating to your needs. I’m sure that the reader will understand that this doesn’t happen everywhere. Since the sole mission of the group is 1 to 1 training, there is never the need to wait for any piece of well cared for equipment and the trainers will watch you very closely the entire time that you are there. Street parking on South Cedros is always free, and you can watch television if that’s your thing during aerobic work and of course there is always music that the clients can choose. I can’t ever imagine training anywhere else. This is indeed the best place in the North Count

I’ve been a client of Milagros since 2018! I was referred by a dear friend of mine who'd already been working out there for over a year. I’m stronger and have muscle tone that my husband notices and compliments me on, and it’s been a great place for me to work out since I was so tired of going to the "big box" gyms. All the trainers greet me by my name, and I really feel like a part of their family! I’ve referred one of my other friends who’s been working out there for six months now. Thank you, Milagros, for keeping me and my friends fit!

Thanks to Milagros, I was able to finally achieve the level of fitness I wanted. I’ve tried to go to the gym and it’s just not my scene. Plus, I have no idea what to do, and if I hired a trainer there it’s just too busy of an environment for me. What’s nice about Milagros is that it’s private. There are other trainers with their clients, but no people working out on their own. I received expert dietary guidance as well as a customized exercise routine that worked. I was able to lose 25lbs over the course of three months. This wasn't a temporary fix, but a lifestyle change that I've been able to maintain without a problem. It’s the best investment I’ve made on myself to this day! If you want results that work for you - this is the place.

My Milagros personal training experience has been nothing but absolutely top notch. From the convenient location, the cleanliness of the facility, to the modern and easy-to-use equipment, I’ve had nothing but a great experience with the facility. Now, let’s talk about the trainers - through COVID and beyond, they have been patient, accommodating, kind, welcoming, and supportive. With a crazy schedule and lofty goals, Marcus ensures I am able to maximize my time with him. The other customers and trainers are super friendly and always make me feel welcome and like I am succeeding. Thanks Milagros for being the best in the area for private personal training! And Thanks for being here through such a crazy time! You’re amazing!

I love this place!!
I am a business executive with a pretty challenging lifestyle and very hectic travel schedule. I initially joined Milagros with some hesitation and did not really know what to expect.
I have been completely overwhelmed!!
I found Laura Plomgren to be a really talented, dedicated and caring health and fitness professional. She tailored the entire experience to align with my needs.
Her expertise as a strength trainer, nutritional counsellor and wellness coach literally changed my life.
Without reservation, Laura is the best Health & Fitness professional I have ever worked with. She has been a true Game-Changer for me!
Like I said up front - I love this place!!
