"Envys Fitness are great! I was working on getting my body fat down with Lashawn for 5 months. I had lower back pain which had always made it hard for me to workout. Lashawn found the source of my pain which actually happened to be in my calfs. After a slow start of mostly rehabilitation work to correct my muscle imbalances including increasing flexibility in my calf we were ready to tackle my main goals. With no back pain and corrected posture I was able to perform all the exercises lashawn had presided for me.
I liked that he didn't just throw me in at the deep end but instead demonstrated a clear progression of exercise difficulty as my ability increased. Lashawn is extremely knowledgeable about anatomy and physiology of the body. He explains why we do every exercise.
Nutrition was also something that I drastically had to change. I didn't realize how bad I was eating until Lashawn showed me. Together we created lifestyle habits that will last my life time. For example the 80/20 rule. Meaning 80% strict 20% able to enjoy less nutritious foods.
I had to stop training due to my work moving to New York but if I had stuck in LA I would definitely still be training with Lashawn.
I now consider Lashawn not only my trainer and fitness guru but a good friend! Email him now! It will be the best investment you ever make." -James T.

I just finished my first 60 day semester training with Lashawn at Envys Fitness and loved every minute of it! I have a pretty extensive athletic background, including running track and cross country collegiately, so must admit I had pretty high standards when looking for a trainer. However Lashawn surpassed every expectation and was able to design a training program that not only targeted my many weaknesses and imbalances, which have contributed to ongoing injuries, but also help me improve my strength, mobility and body composition while working within my limitations. The exercises were incredibly dynamic and challenging, in a good way! Every day was different and I left each session feeling very satisfied with all the hard work we put in. He was always attentive to my form during our workouts and also gave me rehab/stretching exercises to do on my own, so we were able to make significant progress. I would highly recommend Lashawn to anyone who is looking for a personal trainer that will actually help you reach your goals. He is very knowledgeable, supportive and encouraging in all aspects of training, nutrition and life!
Also, we trained at The Study, which is an incredible space - meticulously clean, all functional training with great equipment (no machines! thank you!), beautiful bathroom/shower space with towels, hair dryer and anything you could need. -Jennie D.

"I had a great workout with Lashan at Envys Fitness. He works with your fitness level and pushes you just enough. He also was able to work around injuries I have that stemmed from an ankle that has been sprained multiple times. He not only worked around my weak ankle, but also suggested great strengthening exercises for the muscles around it. I am excited to continue working with Lashan to obtain my fitness goals of strength and endurance building so I will be a better runner, surfer and snowboarder." -Leah N.

"Lashawn is an amazing personal trainer right in Santa Monica. He is dedicated to what he does and you can tell he is truly passionate about fitness and motivating his clients to be the best they can be. He can customize a perfect workout for your goals and has a special way of pushing you to achieve them but making you feel great the entire time. He is very knowledgeable and focuses on functional fitness and building strength that will benefit you in all areas of your life. He will help you loose weight/fat and build strength and lean muscle!
He has a private gym on Colorado with everything you need. I love that I don't need to think at all, I just show up and he has the perfect workout for me. So much better than going to the gym! I've already recommended him to some of my co-workers at the office that wanted to know my secret to staying in such good shape! If you are thinking about getting a trainer, Lashawn is the best, you will have no regrets, you will just want more!" -Leianna E.

“Lashawn is a dedicated fitness professional in Santa Monica. He will not only transform your body to something you deem acceptable but will educate you on how to keep those hard earned results. He's exceptional at keeping track of his clients and cares for them as people. Best personal trainer in the field.” –Edgar G.

“When I started training with Lash, I was in pretty bad shape. Long hours at work made it difficult to get to the gym with any consistency, and junk food provided some relief from a high stress job. With a little more than eight months to go before my wedding, I decided to get a personal trainer to help me get in shape. I told the training manager at Equinox I wanted to build muscle and cut fat, and he said he had just the guy for me, Lashawn.
After reviewing my goals and assessing my current body composition, Lash helped me design a program to cut my body fat in half by my wedding and also add muscle. (Adding muscle increased my resting metabolic rate, helping my body burn fat even while sitting at my desk.) Lash is extremely knowledgeable about anatomy and physiology and has a deep knowledge of the muscular system. He showed me foam rolling and stretching techniques to loosen tight areas, particularly in my hips, developed from years sitting at a desk all day.
Understanding "six packs are cooked in the kitchen," Lash provided nutritional advice that helped me cut fat rapidly and improve my energy level. Even while mostly eschewing cardio at first, I dropped weight (and fat) rapidly by strength training with Lash and eating well.
Now only six weeks from my wedding, I've lost over 20 lbs. and am close to my goal of cutting my body fat in half. Not only am I in much better shape but I have also gained valuable knowledge about proper body movements and how to program workout routines that I'll have for the rest of my life. I would highly recommend Lash to anyone looking to make an investment in their physique and overall well being.” –Aaron E.

I've worked as a personal trainer independently and at some of the most prestigious gyms in the country and in all my time in the fitness industry I've never encountered a trainer like Lashawn. He's one of the best around and uses a combination of his vast knowledge, compassion, and sense of humor to motivate his clients to reach their fitness goals. He is genuinely invested in his clients' success and has all the necessary tools to get them to where they need to be. If you're looking for an amazing trainer in Santa Monica, Lashawn of Envys Fitness is your man. -Luke T.

“Highly recommend Lashawn to customize a work out program. He pushed me hard, is a motivator, and really understood my weaknesses. Felt like a different person and gave me the confidence to push myself in areas of cross-fit training. Hands down, a top trainer I trust to deliver amazing service. I doubt you will be disappointed.” –Jim B.

“If you're looking for a personal trainer that's knowledgeable about fitness, diet and muscle recovery, Lashawn's your man. Instead of barking at you or intimidating you like some other trainers, he gets the best from you by motivating and educating you. He really explains each exercise and circuit, how it works and the muscles you're engaging. That really helped me. I could push myself more because I now had the confidence and felt like I knew what I was doing. He's really good at asking about your goals and changing up the workouts to ensure you're seeing results. My body and my health is in a lot better shape after working out with Lashawn. Plus, the guy's got a British accent and, let's face it, that makes it easier to listen to him.” –Corey O.

“I have trained with some awesome trainers & Lashawn is definitely up there with the best! He really knows his stuff, clearly explains what you doing and why and knew exactly what would work for me to see the results I wanted as quickly as possible. He is a great motivator, very encouraging in keeping you on track with both diet and exercise (even when he's not there!) and importantly keeps our sessions varied and interesting. I always leave feeling like I've really been pushed and getting the most out of my training. And not to mention he's a great guy. If I'm working my butt of with a trainer I want to enjoy their company. With Lashawn that's easy. He makes coming to sessions fun and something to look forward to rather than dread! If you a sitting on the fence, get off it! You definitely won't regret it.” –Jody S.

“I'm not a big yelper but when Lashawn let me know he was leaving our gym to start his own company, I was so excited for him! He is an excellent athlete and PT. Lashawn has been training me for the past 4.5 months and we have literally transformed my body. He makes it fun, changes things up and knows how to make a girl look good in a tiny bikini. I love my gym and all the other classes and amenities they offer but I will defiantly continue my personal training with LaShawn.” –Christy C.

“I never write Yelp reviews, but I think everyone should know about Envys Fitness! I have been to many trainers in the past and Lashawn far exceeds them all! He has pushed me and believed in me more than I believed in myself to reach my goals. For anyone seeking a trainer to help them reach their ultimate goal, Lash is your man!” –Elan M.
