Brandon knows his stuff when it comes to body movement and building muscle. He focuses on posture and technique to make his workouts quick and efficient with NO wasted movement. I'm very happy with my results and signed up for another six months.

I’ve been training at The Strength Academy for the past few weeks, and it’s easily been one of the most encouraging, educational, and inspiring fitness experiences I’ve ever had.
Brandon’s knowledge and attention to detail are outstanding — he takes the time to explain not just what you’re doing, but why you’re doing it and how each movement benefits your body and overall progress. Every session feels purposeful and motivating.
If you haven’t checked it out yet, I highly recommend stopping by to see what it’s all about. You’ll walk out feeling stronger, more confident, and genuinely excited for your next workout.

Joining the strength factory has been one best decisions I have made. Brandon, the trainer, is so encouraging and attentive. The small group rotation workout is perfect for me. It is practically like personal training at a fraction of the price. I feel my body getting stronger everyday. Everyone who attends class is friendly and encouraging! Highly recommend!!!

I have been attending Strength Laboratory in La Habra for a couple of months, and I am thoroughly impressed! The program is incredibly well-designed, with each session thoughtfully structured to maximize results. The staff genuinely care about their clients—they take the time to ensure proper form, provide guidance, and celebrate every achievement along the way. Since joining, I have already seen noticeable improvements in my strength and overall fitness. I strongly recommend Strength Laboratory to anyone looking to improve their strength, bodybuilding, and overall health. This is a gym where results and client care truly come first!

This new gym is outstanding! I absolutely love it! The facility is clean, modern, with great equipment, but what really sets it apart is the training experience. The trainers are knowledgeable, approachable, and genuinely invested in helping members reach their goals. They take the time to explain proper form, and push you just enough to keep you motivated without feeling overwhelmed. Between the variety of equipment and supportive coaching, it’s the perfect place for anyone at any fitness level to grow stronger and stay consistent. Highly recommend!

I met Brandon 20 years ago and he completely transformed my body and my life. I just had my last baby at 40 years old and the weight just was not coming off. I did what Brandon told me and went from 80 lbs over weight , to rock hard solid body. He made me believe in myself and I've caried that all this time. I've gone back to him several times for tune uos, or like one summer, I wanted a six pack, and of course, I achieved that at Brandon's gym. He is a master at fitness, but there is something that Brandon has that no one else does. I have been to a lot of gyms, had lots of coaches and trainers. But, walking into Brandon's gym isn't like the usual- feeling intimidated and comparing yourself to others- its not like that. He has a way of making you feel at home, being empowered, and becoming the best you can be. Brandon, and the wonderful people he hires, are master trainers. They know the science. There is nothing out there regarding the optimal fitness of the human body that Brandon does not know. He will get you to your goals, but he also makes it so much fun and its the way he makes you feel. From the first day you walk in, you feel like you are on the right track of youf life. Brandon has gotten me to do things I never thought was possible. Brandon will not always just be my trainer, but my mentor and friend for life. He believed in me, so I believed in my self. Thank you, Brandon, for all you do for people! You are the best, hands down.

I love this program. It’s been life changing. I have had numerous specialist that have sent me to balance therapy, spine specialists and so many other forms of treatments that have been ineffective. I have been dealing with pain, unbearable pain, debilitating pain for the last 4 years. I had a consultation with Brandon and at first I was skeptical. How could this work for me? It worked. I have been working with Strength Lab for about 2 months and I feel amazing. I can walk without pain and I am getting better with every session. I am so incredibly thankful for Strength laboratory and for the ongoing support I receive from Brandon Locatel. This is an out of the box approach. Amazing. Thank You Brandon!

Visiting the strength laboratory is a transformative experience. It stands out from your typical gym. Brandon is dedicated, conducting thorough research to ensure your training is effective in building strength. While it may appear simple, the workouts are challenging, leaving your entire body feeling the burn in a satisfying manner. I am committed to continuing this journey.

Getting a healthy & strong body is the holy grail of fitness! But so many fitness trainers just throw out a ‘one size fits all’ approach to all their clients workouts… Coach Brandon at The Strength Laboratory set out to science the heck out of his methods to deliver REAL RESULTS to real people (like ME). I lost 65 lbs that I had been unable to lose at any other gym & I tried them all!
Brandon scientifically designs workouts to specifically meet his clients exactly where we are & push us to meet & beat our goals in an effective & steady manner. The positive results came faster than I could have imagined & the results were sustainable. Brandon understands the processes he recommends & advised me through the dietary adjustments that would enhance my success.
The Strength Laboratory will provide scientifically positive results to ANYONE willing to put in the work. It worked for me & it will work for you!

Been coming here to train with Brandon for the past few months. He's a good dude who cares about his clients. He's extremely patient with me when I flake on him last min because I hate working out but he gets me back on track. 😂 He's been teaching me how to use the machines and corrects my form so I learn. He's also been healing my muscle knots through physical therapy. It's been a game changer in how I feel. I appreciate this place!

Coach Brandon has been training me for the past 16 years. He really cares about your health and making sure you are doing the exercises correctly. Coach Brandon, knows how to train clients with multiple sclerosis, and other disabilities. Finding Brandon has been one of the best choices I have made.

I have trained and worked out with Brandon off and on for a few years. I recently reconnected with Brandon to jump start my workout journey and I have been working out at The Strength Laboratory weekly. The facility is spotless, bright, and inviting. Brandon, the owner and trainer, is energetic, passionate, and competent. He discusses the exercises for the day and demonstrates each exercise we will be doing. He has inspiring music playing during our workouts. Brandon keeps us (his clients) pumped up during the workouts. He provides positive affirmations as we are working out at our stations, and he provides feedback to us if we are doing the exercise incorrectly. He makes an effort to know our names to connect with us and verbally pushes us to do our best, " get one more rep in." During our workouts, Brandon uses technology to track and monitor each rep we do at our station. By monitoring our reps, we can view the monitor to see if we are making progress or not. Truly cutting edge! Overall, I highly recommend The Strength Laboratory if you want to improve your health, build muscle, learn new ways to work out, and how to eat healthier. Another important factor for me is having a trainer who believes in me, while challenging me, and being authentic! Brandon cares about his clients!! I love my new workout journey at The Strength Laboratory! See you there!

If you have fitness goals, the trainers and programs here will help you reach them. If you're happy sitting on a plateau, continue to do nothing at 24hr, golds, etc...

I started at this CrossFit center in December 2023 and I have enjoyed it ever since! Coach Adam is a very knowledgeable guy who is willing to push everyone to do the best they can. There is an abundance of equipment to ensure that everyone is working! I highly recommend checking the place out at least for a free a trial, but I guarantee that at the end of it you will want to buy a pass!

I’ve been coming here for about 6 months and I absolutely LOVE it!!! Each of the trainers are extremely friendly and genuinely care not only about the results from working out but your health. They continuously strive to make each of their clients better alhletes and have even challenged/ motivated me personally even after hours! They have also spent countless hours spending one on one time with me along with other members! They will always put you first no matter the circumstances! Each of the trainers are knowledgeable in health and fitness and will always share their knowledge! I wouldn’t go anywhere else! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

I was a little bit skeptical when I first heard that the workouts here were only 30 minutes. I was in town visiting family and I was used to 60 minute workouts at my local box.

What I found after a couple of workouts here with Brandon is that we just waste a lot of time in our 60-minute workouts at my local box. He fits more of a workout into 30 minutes than I am used to getting in an hour. I was exhausted after the 30 minute workout (in the best possible way) and I wish that I lived closer to La Habra because if I did, I would be a local here.

Everyone felt like a family and I had a blast. Look forward to visiting again next year when I’m back in California.
