Meet Alex Lopez

Alex is a mother of three and kicking butt as one of our top group exercise instructors at the same time! You catch her teaching BODYSTEP,  BODYCOMBAT, BODYPUMP, Yoga, Cycle and PIYO at Gold's Gym Fullerton! 

Not only has she helped tons of our members reach their fitness goals, she is inspired daily by those who she teaches. It's clear to see that not only is she an excellent instructor, but she is a favorite teacher among many!

When Alex is not killing it in the fitness world, she loves spending time with her children and listening to music. We’re so glad that Alex is an instructor at Gold’s Gym Fullerton and appreciate her working with us! Check out her interview below.

What do you picture when you think of the gym? If you're like most people, you might imagine muscular guys and toned women ultra-focused on exercises you can't even fathom doing! This impression of the gym can be intimidating and make you feel like you have to be in shape before joining the gym.

Meet Travis Cheek

Travis Cheek is one of our amazing cycle instructors and mentors. Travis started his own weight-loss journey a few years ago and never looked back! He realized he was 80 pounds over his preferred weight limit, took responsibility and is now working to help transform our Gold’s Gym Simi Valley and Thousand Oaks members every day. 

You've seen the pictures everyone posts. They're sweaty and smiling, holding up a medal to prove they made it. Now you want a turn. Running your first race is a great non-scale goal, but how do you get there?
