We absolutely love this gym! My daughter takes classes here to build her speed and agility, and the progress she’s made has been amazing. The staff is knowledgeable, supportive, and really know how to motivate the kids while keeping it fun. The facility itself is clean, well-equipped, and in a great area. On top of that, the sense of community is incredible—you really feel welcomed and encouraged every time you walk in. Highly recommend this gym for anyone looking for a positive and professional environment to grow stronger, faster, and more confident!

Coach Amador has been an amazing trainer for our son. He’s always punctual, respectful, and goes above and beyond to push him in the right way. Thanks to his guidance, our son has made huge strides in both speed and strength, and it’s really showing on the baseball field.
Dr. Sophia is also incredible she’s been focusing on our son’s arm health and mobility training, making sure he’s not only performing at his best but also staying healthy.
If you’re looking for a true one stop shop with professionals who genuinely care, Raw Performance is the place to be.

We enrolled my 11-year-old daughter, who plays competitive soccer, at Raw Performance for strength training with Amador and physical therapy with Dr. Sofia. Both have been absolutely incredible. Amador’s training sessions are challenging yet supportive, and Dr. Sofia’s knowledge and care are unmatched. We’ve stayed consistent, and the progress has been remarkable — my daughter is stronger, more confident, and performing at a whole new level on the field. Raw Performance has truly transformed her as an athlete. Highly recommend!

I can’t say enough great things about Raw Performance. If you’re tired of the typical big-box gym vibe, this is the spot for you.
The coaching on mechanics is phenomenal – Amador is knowledgeable, motivating, and genuinely invested in your progress. He meets you where you’re at and pushes you to hit your goals safely and effectively.
The community’s energy is always high, and the people are supportive, encouraging, and welcoming.
The programming is smart, challenging, and constantly evolving, so it never gets boring. Whether you’re hitting a heavy lift or sweating it out in a fast-paced HIIT session, you walk out feeling better.
If you’re serious about getting fitter, stronger, and surrounding yourself with awesome people – this gym is where you want to be.

This is the best place an athlete can train or any one new to training in general. Amador and Rey, who runs the workouts, really knows what they are doing especially when it comes to helping athletes and anyone who are new to working out. The workouts are challenging, structured, and to great for anyone. They helped me grow a ton, both physically and in confidence for my sport. Dr. Sophie is incredible when it comes to physical therapy. She’s helped so many athletes recover, get back to competing, and even come back stronger than before. Raw Performance has a proven track record of developing athletes. They’ve already helped over 9+ athletes across multiple sports reach the college level, which shows just how effective their training and rehab programs are. Whether it’s strength, speed, or recovery, they know how to prepare athletes to compete at the next level. What makes Raw Performance different is that you never feel like just another athlete walking through the door.

Coach Amador at Raw Performance is amazing with kids! In four months, my son’s strength, coordination, and speed for football have significantly improved. Coach Amador does a fantastic job building their confidence in the gym and with the equipment. The environment is welcoming for everyone, and it’s clear that the kids are learning and growing with every class!

Raw Performance is AWESOME! The gym is clean. Amador is professional and is amazing with the kids. My son has developed in the past 4 months, his athleticism, his speed, his reaction time, and agility. He has improved in all aspects for his sports, baseball and boxing.

I’m currently working with Coach Amador to help achieve my long term fitness and longevity goals. I’m 44 with a shoulder injury and Amador is great at knowing just how hard to push me without injuring me. I’m seeing results in all aspects of fitness…cardio, strength, and weight loss. His cool, calm and encouraging demeanor keeps me coming back. If you’re looking for a personal trainer with a lot of knowledge that is good at reading his clients I’d highly recommend contacting him. You owe it to yourself!

RAW Performance is an incredible place to train. The workouts are tailored to push me toward my individual goals, and the coaches create an environment that is both challenging and supportive. What really sets this gym apart is the sense of community. It truly feels like a family where everyone encourages each other to succeed. Even the friendly gym dog adds to the welcoming atmosphere. It’s a place where you can grow, stay motivated, and feel at home.

I am so happy that I found this gym! It is everything I have been looking for; community, expertise, and a challenge that fits my needs and age group. Amador is an excellent trainer who listens to each person's individual needs, offering guidance and modifications when needed. I'm a female in the 60+ range, and started working out at Raw Performance about 7 months ago. My son (see below) joined shortly after. We each work out at our own pace, and have both noticed positive changes toward our goals. I have even dropped a pants size! Thank you Raw Performance!

I started attending sessions ant this gym around three months ago. My mother and some of her friends were attending and she told me how nice the people were and how much she enjoyed it, so I started attending the same sessions as her. I’ve been having a wonderful time, the gym sessions are well instructed, and they are pretty challenging in terms of cardiovascular endurance. I have never been so happy to have my butt kicked twice a week, but I am far better for it. For the first time in my life, I am able to jog a good distance without being out of breath, and I have broken numerous weight records (I just broke 215 lbs back squat!).

Just joined, think I’m going to love it! Sofia is impressive and I recommend her all the time, she’s what brought me here for PT after my hip replacement and Amador is helping me get back to my workouts. My form is important to my progress, I’ve got other injuries to be mindful of and I feel he’s watching out for me. Im looking forward to getting stronger again.

Incredibly approachable gym in a supportive environment. Whether you're just starting out/trying to get back into a fitness regimen, or dialing in on your training, Amador and Sofia are very knowledgeable and experienced in properly training the individuals that they coach towards goals, and also making it fun and understandable. You can also choose between participating in the class, which is scaled appropriately for each individual's ability; or you can work on your own personal training - they're quite chill about it either way. If you want more coaching, they can be more hands on; if you want to concentrate on specific areas, but just want a little guidance if you're stuck/on how best to get there, they're for you too.

Sofi is an incredible PT and athlete. She has an uncanny ability to perceive what is happening inside a person just based on simple movements. I highly recommend visiting her and considering their cool gym here in San Dimas. It's a great community that has everything you need, in a nice, quiet neighborhood that is easy to access, with plenty of parking.

I’m currently navigating my second postpartum recovery with Coach Sofi, and once again, the experience has been exceptional! After working with her during my first pregnancy, I saw remarkable results and bounced back quickly. So, when it came time for my second postpartum journey, I knew I needed her expertise again.
For my first pregnancy, Coach Sofi helped me throughout the entire process, from pregnancy through postpartum. Her guidance was invaluable, and I felt fantastic. For this second pregnancy, I utilized what I learned from her previously and sought her support specifically for postpartum recovery. Her personalized approach for this unique phase of recovery has been incredible. I feel strong and almost back to my pre-pregnancy fitness level at just 5 months postpartum.
Coach Sofi’s bedside manner is superb; she is patient, kind, and genuinely cares about her patients. The synergy between Coach Sofi and Coach Amador is fantastic. Their calm and supportive demeanor is especially comforting for someone like me who struggles with anxiety. I trust them completely and would not hesitate to contact them again for future pregnancies.
I consistently recommend their services to fellow crossfit gym-goers who are pregnant or postpartum, and they’ve all been thrilled with their results. Additionally, the CrossFit Kids class they offer was a hit with my 3-year-old. He loved joining Coach Amador’s class, and it’s a shame we don’t live closer to take advantage of it every weekend. Coach Amador’s patience with energetic kids made the experience enjoyable for my son.
Overall, I highly recommend Coach Sofi and Coach Amador for anyone looking for exceptional pregnancy/postpartum support and a fantastic gym environment for kiddos.

Dr. Sofi and Coach Amador are a dynamic-duo! Dr. Sofi is a physical therapist and personal trainer. She specializes in chronic illnesses, sports injuries, and much more. I have learned how to sustain my health through diet and exercise under her guidance and have never felt better than I do now. After years of struggling with chronic illness, that put a toll on my body, I am thankful to have met her. She gave me hope and made what felt impossible…possible. I encourage anyone wanting to set simple and doable healthy goals or that need help in healing their body from chronic illness to see her today! She truly is a gift! Coach Amador sets people up for success through personal and group trainings whether it be for competitions or for overall personal health. He is patient and takes the time to educate you on getting the best results. He rocks! This gym is family friendly, provides strong community, and you always have a great time wanting to come back for more! Such a gem!

I recently tore my ACL and I have been working out again to gain my muscle back. Coach Amador ha so my been working with me for a bit even 2 months and he has already gotten me stronger than what I was before. He pushes me beyond my limits and is getting me ready to perform at the D1 level. He is not only an amazing trainer but an amazing person. He has one of the best hearts I have ever seen and has a great sense of humor. He is not only good for training teen and adults, he trains younger kids and is great with them. He trained my little cousin and they are besties now. Everytime my little cousin comes over he ask to train with Amador. So if you are looking for a place to workout this is a great place and you will get stronger💪🏽

What a great facility and great trainer! Amador is an amazing trainer! I’ve been around many trainers because all my daughters played college sports and he is the best I’ve seen!! He is for everyone! From a person that just wants to shed a few pounds to your elite athletes! He will prepare an athlete to play at the next level! He is also amazing with little ones!! My 8 year old nephew has trained with him and really enjoyed working with him! He is so patient and makes it so fun for the young kids! I highly recommend Raw Performance!

I found this gym through word of mouth and I hit them up during the new year to inquire about their new year specials. I had lots of questions and Amador was responsive, patient and helpful. Since San Dimas is out of way for me, I ended up signing up for their online programming and it is awesome! They have amazing programming and I can honestly say I feel accomplished each time I finish.
Since the programming was great I decided to drop in the gym during a holiday and check the gym out. It is on the smaller end but tidy and fully equipped. It didn’t feel cramped at all. The coach for that class (Amador) warmed the class up appropriately and went over the WOD and each movement. During the WOD Amador would come around and remind me to take it easy and I appreciated that bc I really was dying lol. I’d also like to add that the WOD was as good as my online program.
So all in all my experience with them has been great. I highly recommend them and do plan to come back on more of my days off. Totally worth the drive.

RP Athletics has been a great gym for my husband and I. The coaches put a big emphasis on safety which allowed me to continue working out throughout my 1st pregnancy this past year. I was still able to have a great workout and enjoyed the classes with appropriate modifications as my belly grew.
Coach/ Physical Therapist Sofi offers a variety of rehab/ wellness services here too. After giving birth, we worked together for 16weeks to slowly and carefully get back into working out. Her knowledge and patience was exactly what I needed as I navigated postpartum.
I highly recommend checking out this great community and group of coaches. Truly a space for everyone!

If you have been wanting to join a gym that motivates you and don't mind working out in a group then this gym is for you!

RAW Performance is a standout gym that blends effective workouts with a supportive community. Their classes cater to all fitness levels, featuring a mix of mobility work, strength training, high-intensity intervals, and functional fitness, ensuring every class is both challenging and rewarding.
The heart of RAW Performance is its exceptional team. Coach Amador Arteaga, with his impressive background in CrossFit and competitive athletics, brings a wealth of experience and passion to his coaching. His journey from a young athlete to a top competitor at the West Coast Regional and his success in training athletes at the CrossFit Games and Semifinals highlight his dedication and expertise. His personal story and commitment to helping others achieve their fitness goals make him an inspiring leader in the gym.
Dr. Sofia Arteaga complements this with her extensive knowledge as a doctor of physical therapy and certified strength and conditioning specialist. Her background as an Academic All-American Water Polo player and her transition to a career in physical therapy after an injury give her a deep understanding of rehabilitation and recovery. Her focus on movement as medicine and her mission to restore hope and educate those suffering from pain add invaluable support to the gym's offerings.
Together, Amador and Dr. Sofia create a welcoming and effective fitness environment, making RAW Performance a top choice for anyone looking to enhance their physical health and build meaningful connections. Whether you're new to fitness or a veteran, RAW Performance provides a transformative experience.

I am 53 years old and started experiencing severe lower back pain to the point where I considered quitting golf, a game I love. I visited a physician who suggested fusing my lower back. At that point, a friend recommended that I see Dr. Sofi. I was initially hesitant because I had seen several physical therapists with minimal improvement.
Dr. Sofi was a breath of fresh air. Not only was she a physical therapist, but she also had first-hand experience with injuries from her college water polo days. Her empathy and understanding were unparalleled. She listened intently to my concerns and was determined to guide me toward recovery. Her tailored stretches and daily routines were a game-changer for my injuries.
Dr. Sofi also recommended that I start a completely different exercise routine than I was used to. That's when she introduced me to Coach Amador, who runs the group CrossFit program at Raw Performance. I was initially skeptical because I had tried other CrossFit gyms, but the exercises were complicated and far too advanced, making it hard to get a good workout. They also seemed very territorial and not inviting to new people.
This gym was different. The exercises were quick to learn, and the 60-minute sessions were impactful. I have lost 17 pounds and now enjoy working out again! The people that attend the classes are very friendly and encouraging of one another. With Raw Performance's combination of Physical Therapy and Exercise, I'm 30 years old again when I'm golfing. I highly recommend a visit if you want to avoid surgery and get in the best shape of your life without spending 3 hours a day in the gym. Best of luck!

My back was hurting for about a month and literally could not do any sort of lifting. After seeing Dr. Sofi and doing the home exercises for about 1-2 weeks I felt no more back pain! RP physical therapy is a great place to do PT! You can feel that she cares for her patients and wants to see them get better as soon as possible. Would definitely recommend anyone to go to RP for physical therapy! Thank you Dr. Sofi!

Raw Performance is LIFE CHANGING. Sofi is an amazing coach who not only listens to you, but actively thinks about how to help you reach your goals faster and smarter. My fitness game has completely changed since we met. I can't recommend them enuf!
I first met Sofi when I was experiencing a ton of pain from poor form. We got back to basics and made a plan to get me stronger than before. I'm talking rehab, programming, everything...
Once we got there, I had a few specific things I wanted to do...better bar muscle ups, double unders, strict muscle ups, more HSPU. after training consistently with the team, i'm now able to do ALL of it and MORE.
10/10 recommend!

This is a great gym and physical therapist's office. I had the pleasure to train with the classes and private PT and it is great. All the coaches are supportive and want to see the best for you. This environment is perfect for anyone. I highly recommend checking it out and progressing on your health journey with qualified trainers. They will help you achieve what is possible for you

If you want to go to a gym where they know and care about their members, THIS is the gym. If you want to get fit and strong, THIS is the gym. If you wanted coaches/owners who went to CrossFit Regionals (as athletes) and are knowledgeable, THIS is the gym! If you want to go where you are just another member on a roster, this is NOT the place for you, because they care too much. My daughter still talks about her deadlift numbers from when she was coached by Coach Amador. Thank you for giving her a glimpse of what she is capable of, which she will carry with her in college.

Everyone is super friendly!! I’ve never felt judged here which is a big reason for me staying. I’ve had not great experiences taking workout classes from other places so I took a chance and really love it here! There’s a lot of different class times throughout the day, and each day is a different workout so I never get bored. Really happy with the results I get mentally and physically here :)

Man! I thought I was in pretty good shape running 3 times a weak about 3-5mil but the first time coming into Raw Performance humbled me back to realizing that I have to put my work into my health. Amazing gym with outstanding staff and overall amazing customer service. I felt like I been coming to this gym for years and it was only my first time. Check it out this gym you won’t regret it. Also Amador, the coach of Raw Performance is welcoming, and works your body to your level of comfort.

I've been into fitness all my life and have been crossfitting for over 15 years. I have been going to RP since they opened about two years ago. At first i was skeptical about their programming and who Amador and Sofi were. But I'm glad I signed up and haven't looked back once. My first year few months i lost around 10 pounds of body weight. The programming there is super good and keeps you from getting injured. The atmosphere there is positive and friendly. Amador is great at coaching and has extensive knowledge of fitness. The facility has all the equipment you need. The classes are great and the open gym times are a bonus. They have an in house Physical therapist Doctor too which is another bonus. Dr. Sofi Artega is Amadors wife and a badass athlete. I highly recommended this place for anyone at any fitness level. They have kids classes too and they Have "Buddy" the best gym doggie ever.

I've been working with Dr Sofi and now Coach Amador for almost a year. They've changed my entire mindset on fitness! I've never enjoyed working out and now look forward to my weekly class! I met Dr Sofi after a knee injury. She supported me in understanding what my body needs and getting consistent. My knee is so much better and if it weren't for her I'd never gone back to regularly exercising. Coach A's classes are so much fun - his focus is always on the right form and not just about the weight you're lifting/the reps you're doing. The community at the gym is so supportive and I always leave the gym with a smile on my face. Highly highly recommend!

RP has created a strong well rounded program for athletes at all levels. Their consistent programming has helped me grow stronger, build stamina and maintain my health. I know I wouldn’t be able to compete let alone keep up with the younger athletes without their support. Balanced with on-site PT support, there isn’t a stronger duo out there!! Great job!! 🎉💪 Cone join the movement ‼️

I met coach Amador in 2017 at a CrossFit gym and the first thing I noticed was he didn’t judge me for my size. It was intimidating to walk into a CrossFit environment for the first time and when I made a joke about my weight he said in here it’s not about your size it’s about your strength! That changed my whole mindset. When he left that gym I tried Orange Theory and missed the bar so I found him again and was so excited when he opened his own gym. I have never lifted as heavy as I do now! I hit PRs weekly! I have bad osteoarthritis arthritis in both knees and he always gives me modifications for every workout that fit my needs. He is always there to watch my form and knows how to push my limits in a safe way to keep hitting PRs. This is a judgement free place and I love that strength, conditioning, and hitting your personal goals are their top priority!

I’ve always been passionate of fitness, but it’s always hard to find a gym that offers quality and availability. Not only does this gym have the best coaches that are experts in fitness but they are the kindest humans that have created the warmest most welcoming workout environment. Everyone is so welcoming from the moment you come in to the moment you leave. Highly recommend RPathletics to everyone of all ages.

Knew the previous owner, Brian, who ran this establishment from 2016 'til just around Summer of 2022. Amador ( Dedicated Trainer ) along with Dr Sofi ( Acclaimed Physical Therapist ) took it over and kept up with the current clientele as well as bringing in 'new' motivated people who work diligently at keeping themselves in tip-top shape.
Much more attention to personal goals and excellent 'coaching' that makes this style of gym stand out from the Big Box 'Fitness' Centers that seem to only care about those monthly dues and annual renewals.
If you're just starting to get back in the saddle again, after years of a sedentary lifestyle taking its toll or simply to regain that vigor you once had not too long ago, this is the place to make it happen.

What a gym. I was here for a year and then we moved a little further away, so unfortunately had to leave. But this spot is awesome.
Great for:
• powerlifting, either competitive or recreational
• bodybuilding (but no mirrors so can't work on posing)
• intro to weightlifting - classes and personal training are great
Considerations:
• no treadmills or ellipticals.
• no turf area if you're rehabbing or wanting to do agility work
• no smoothies, tanning beds, red light therapy, etc
I came from an LA Fitness with 10x the square footage but only 3 benches, 3 squat racks, and way too much waiting. RP has approx 6 bench/squat stations, 3 more full racks, 5-6 spaces in the freeweight area with various kinds of benches, half a dozen deadlift stations, an outdoor space with a couple bikes and racks plus modular equipment for machine chest press, rows, etc.
I noticed both advanced, competitive lifters as well as novices, and everyone is welcomed. You can keep to yourself, or branch out and make friends; no big deal either way. Both men and women. You won't be the only one who can squad/deadlift 600+, you won't be the only one that is just getting into it.
Usually I just put my headphones in and did my own thing, but seeing all the effort being put it around you makes you work harder and push a little more.
10/10 recommend.

I love this gym. Joined late November 2022. Instructors are fantastic and they give you the attention needed for success. Raw Performance has excellent equipment and is kept very clean. The staff are true professionals and members are friendly, making you feel very welcome. I just completed my tenth week. I’m one of the older members. I feel strong and re-energized. As a bonus, I lost 20 pounds along the way! Highly recommended.
