[ California · United States ]

A personal trainer in California, without the hourly rate.

There are 60 named gyms and sports centres across Los Angeles, San Diego and San Jose, Orangetheory Fitness and CorePower Yoga among them, and the programme is written around whichever one you use. California hosts 3 HYROX races — Anaheim Convention Center, 3 December 2026 — so every session is dated backwards from that weekend. Online personal training from HYROX Elite 15 athlete Ben Sutherland, rebuilt every Sunday from what you logged.

[ Training around a California week ]

Commutes across California are long enough that the training which survives is the training that fits the day you actually have. A programme that assumes ninety free minutes gets abandoned in week three; one that knows you have forty on a Tuesday does not.

That is the part an hourly trainer cannot do. They can write you a good session; they cannot rewrite the week when work moves, and rewriting the week is most of what keeps people training past the point where motivation runs out.
