Cesar at True Motion helped tremendously with my under the weather blues. Not quite ready for the squats last week, Cesar put me through a restorative routine that included nurturing the senses. Sound, sight and smell, well the alternate nostril breathing of essential oils was amazing. I have taken training classes with these oils, have them at home, but sometimes you need that extra boost to get back on track...Cesar has a passion, and sensitivity that works so well with the grind. Back to those squats today, I am getting back on my feet once again. True Motion, Terry, has tricks up his sleeve as well, I feel supported, online, when I need solutions, reminders. Get up off your ....chair. recipes, humor, ideas. Thank you all, you are appreciated!
I came to True Motion for their massage service. Michael provided one of the best massages i've had. The facilities seemed newly updated and not like the usual 'spa in a gym' type rooms. It was a relaxing massage and Michael was able to work out all of my problem areas from long-hours of work travel. I'd highly recommend True Motion and Michael for massage services and will go back again.
I LOVE True Motion and the entire concept! Michael Gonzales is extremely knowledgable in his massage therapy and as our the trainers. I truly enjoy the strength training classes. And to top it off, becoming a member is a great deal!
Every time I explore a service at True Motion, I become overwhelmed with appreciation behind its vision. As someone who has been through an abnormal amount of stress, my body internalized everything, which resulted a lot of tightness and pain in certain areas. In an attempt to beat my funk, I signed up for a 90-day challenge last year. I was immediately hooked and continued on with regular classes, often followed by yoga. Now that I've achieved some strength, I thought to take advantage of a new metabolic test aimed at creating a performance plan unique to me. The plan includes training and meal monitoring. Though I'm starting to feel even better, I've continued to struggle with the tightness that makes it hard for me to reach full mobility during my training sessions. Therefore, I was introduced to the massage specialist who, without to much explanation from my side, pinpointed issues that I've been grappling with for nearly a decade. With the compassionate support of the ownership, amazing trainers, bodywork specialist and the gym community, I've been empowered to tackle my limitations in a holistic manner. In sum, True Motion provides the greatest addiction for people who are ready to take control of their lives!
I was stuck in a rut on my weight workouts and started looking around to find something with small group classes where I was going to be challenged, but not expected to do exercises I wasn't capable of executing perfectly. I had tried cross fit a couple of years ago for 6 months and kept getting injured. I've been working out here since June, I'm stronger than I've been in a few years, moving more fluidly, sleeping better, and I haven't experienced any injuries. In fact, I came in with some nagging discomfort in a few specific areas and those areas seem to be getting better every week (left elbow and right hip). The trainers all have different areas of focus and I've specifically taken classes with AJ, Ryan, Cesar and Talia and been very happy with all of them and enjoyed the variety. They each genuinely care about their students and create a supportive environment that people at a variety of different fitness levels can access. Moving my body in new ways has increased my mobility and strength and I can say that True Motion has done more for me than what I was looking for when I came in. I am an avid snowboarder and I can't wait to see how I ride this winter after putting in a few more months of work!
Ah, True Motion. I thought I knew quite a bit about fitness and a healthy lifestyle but you and your amazing coaches have taught me so much.
It all started when I saw their six week challenge on Instagram and thought it'd be a good way to try and help jump start my friend's lifestyle choices. I'm always up for a challenge and thought "hey, I'll help my good friend lose 25 lbs while improve her health and fitness and all I have to do is lose 6% of my body weight in 6 weeks? No sweat!"
Guess I wasn't paying attention during orientation, turns out the challenge for me was 6 percentage points of my body FAT. And when you start out at 26.4% body fat, 20.4% seems...far. I googled 20% body fat on women and was bombarded with pictures of fitness model types with totally flat stomachs. Insert poop emoji.
The challenge consisted of working out in True Motion's group classes 3x/week, while doing cardio on your own no more than 2x/week. I was also given what I dubbed at the time as "the worst meal plan ever". Basically my only fat sources came from the lean protein in my diet (white fish, shellfish, chicken breasts). Insert a slew of angry expletives.
The group classes were amazing. They were small, around 5-9 people in each class, and they was always variety in all the workouts. Each of the trainers I worked with, Ryan, AJ, and Cesar, all brought something wonderful to their classes and you can tell they really knew their stuff. Having a teaching background myself, I appreciated the way they would explain new workouts, and the little things they'd do to ensure proper form and body mechanics. I'd never done any workouts with kettlebells, and found myself swinging them around like a madwoman and using them to get up as the Turks do, I guess? Not really sure why the exercise is called a Turkish Get up but damn if it's not incredibly effective and difficult. My favorite class was probably Cesar's Flow Fitness class which would leave me dripping in sweat by the end of the hour but feeling like I danced all night (kinda felt like I was working out in a club haha).
After the first few weeks the meal plan didn't bug me much anymore, as I learned to be resourceful in my food choices. I'd say during the entire six week challenge, I probably deviated from the meal plan about six percent of the time (meaning I had something I wasn't supposed to have in 8 of my 126 meals, usually a small serving of avocado because I don't have the willpower to turn down homemade guacamole.)
As the weeks progressed, I did notice I was getting stronger and leaner, even though I wasn't dropping a ton of weight. During yoga one day I realized I could do a correct chaturanga pose like a machine. On a whim, I tried a difficult inverted climb in aerial silks and succeeded. I could now perform six perfect pull-ups in a row (used to max at 3). I even was able to fit in a pair of skinny jeans from 2010 that I never got rid of, thinking I'd be able to wear them again one day. Score!
At the end of the 6 week challenge, I lost 9 lbs and my final body fat percentage was 18.7% (-7.8%). Boom.
Though I loved this 6-week challenge and finished it successfully, I can't say my results are the norm as I did come across women who put forth a massive amount of effort but fell short, particularly one on the plant-based meal plan, and one lady in her late forties. But everyone who did participate in the challenge came out of it with real results and met some incredible people. I will definitely be buying a punch card for their classes, as I enjoy looking and feeling like a warrior princess after my workouts with them.
Thanks, True Motion. I enjoyed your six week challenge and came away with so much knowledge about fitness. It feels good to realize a goal from start to finish and document the journey. I'll see you guys real soon.

I just finished the 6 week challenge with True Motion! I've had some autoimmune issues the last few years and gained some weight from an inability to work out, steroids, and just eating unhealthily. So my friend got me to do this challenge with her to kickstart getting fit again!
The class schedule has a lot of options especially for those trying to get in around a work schedule. There are classes early in the morning to post work in the evening. Unfortunately there were no Sunday classes but there are Sat morning classes. I really liked the 7:30am classes because it really forced me to start my day early and I always felt I was more productive. My body now just wakes up early on it's own!
During my time here I took classes with Ryan, AJ, and Cesar. The coaches are amazing and they are the main reason I'm sticking around after the challenge! They really know what they're doing, and are amazing people who really care about helping you not only achieve your fitness goals, but making sure you don't get injured or helping with existing injuries.
The challenge came with a nutrition plan, which I actually did not follow. I have a generally good idea of what works for me and did my own thing in regards to diet. But for those who don't quite know where to start yet it can be a good starting point.
I also did not really do the recommended cardio, I have some hives anaphylaxis issues when cardio is involved so I rarely did cardio. But I did do a lot of yoga, aerial silks and rock climbing instead.
The prices for the classes can be on the expensive side but I really do think the coaches here are worth it!
Saw a 6 week challenge on my Instagram and couldn't resist. Found True Motion and was quickly registering for the challenge. It's 6 weeks, how hard could it be? It's hard but oh so good!! Just started week 3 and have had some fantastic improvements in life. (1) sleeping better!!! (2) eating better!!! (3) small group training sessions are challenging but doable at all abilities (4) feel better and stronger (5) dropped some lbs (6) seeing improvements with every session. I've had sessions with Ryan, Terry, and Cesar. ALL are AWESOME!! They each have different focus areas but also compliment each other's workouts. At the halfway point and feeling pretty good. If you have the opportunity to sign up for this challenge, DO IT!!

I've been with Dr. Bender for a few years now, great D.C. that cares about your whole body health. Very professional and accommodating. The True Motion experience as a whole is fantastic. They have everything from one on one personal training and therapy, to yoga, & massage. It's a fantastic one stop shop for mind, body, and soul with an awesome team of professionals!
This place is amazing. I have worked out with several trainers, Cesar, Terry & Ryan. They all have an incredible wealth of knowledge about the human body and movement. I don't just get great workouts I always learn about proper breathing, movement and proprioception of our body. These guys are on another level. Dr. Bender has helped me with neck pain several times. They have great massage therapists and acupuncturist as well. This place is like the human body shop. If you have pain or need help strengthening your body Truemotion is your place.
I just love the team here. I have been working one on one with Terry for over 9 months. I have had pain in my knees, neck and lower back for years but now not only has my pain lessened while using his vision training techniques but i truly feel strong all over. As its such a close knit facility i have been able to watch all of the trainers, their different strengths and expertise and respect all of their advice. Im looking forward to participating in some of the group classes like yoga soon.
