You sweat, you feel the burn, and you get pumped up to keep coming back for more!  Incredible challenging workout classes that are offered at convenient times.  If you've never workout before, the classes are paced and consistent to help you learn the right techniques.  The music and instructors get you pumped up, and keep the hour long classes at a pace that you can enjoy and feel like you get an incredible workout. The First Step Fitness ROCKS!!!

I just visited this gym... I can't not explain how great this gym is.... It's is unreal....

I joined this gym about two months ago. The staff is extremely friendly, always acknowledging you by first name as you enter the workout facility. The machines are all in working order. The people that work out there are fit but hey that's what a gym is for. The locker room is always clean when I go in there and I usually see the staff their at least three times a week giving it a mop up. It does get a bit hot at times but if your serious about working out, well you are supposed to sweat.

This gym is super nice.  The staff is friendly... the equipment is brand spanking new...  it doesn't smell like feet...  it’s very very very clean.... and it’s never crowded!

I've been a member of this gym for a few years now and I love it!  It's clean, well maintained and the staff is always very friendly to me.  There are plenty of treadmills and lots of other equipment.  The locker rooms have a steam room and several showers.  And, they have great hours. I will stay with this gym!

I LOVE First Step Fitness! I joined a few months ago and so far I've been really happy. I was looking for a no-frills, inexpensive, clean gym with up-to-date equipment which is exactly what you get with First Step Fitness. GREAT GYM, THANK YOU Mike and Amanda.

After over 15 years of knee pain, my Mike has skillfully and safely trained my legs to the end result of no more pain. Stairs are no longer a challenge, and I really out a huge THANKS to him and the trainers here.  They know how to work with you to get results. It's a journey, and mine has only just begun!

I had always had a "paunch", you know, that thing that hangs over your belt? I thought I was doing enough by going to the gym a couple of times per week, but I never could get rid of it. Then I was introduced to Mike Matuz at First Step Fitness and my life changed. I'm not under 10% body fat and I can run and lift weights like never before. They offer convenient classes that revolve around my work schedule and I rarely miss a class these days!

Amazing gym!!! I absolutely love my new gym. I've been living in Long Beach for a few months now and believe me when I say, I searched long and hard for a new gym. Every day I go in, I look for something wrong with the gym but I can't seem to find it. The hours are great too.

First Step Fitness is the gym to join if you are looking to get results. Whether you are a serious bodybuilder or just looking to work off a few pounds, their trainers will help you get the results you are looking for. They offer personalized 1:1 personal training for those looking to get more concentrated results. They are very knowledgeable about diet and exercise and how the two go hand in hand. They are always available to their clients to help them achieve their needs.

just started working out here and its been a good start. ..equipment is clean staff is friendly and it doesn't seem too too busy. So far so good, i hope they can keep it up!!

I have to go with the other 5 star'ers here. I love the gym. I love the staff. I've been a member for around a year and have never once been let down.  Its cheap (for Long Beach gyms) and has most everything you need. No pushy trainers (which is awesome). I can't say enough for the place. A++

When I became a member of First Step Fitness last year my goal was to lose the weight which had been creeping up on me for the past 25 years. I am a real estate broker and was experiencing difficulty walking up the stairs because of problem knees and shortness of breath. My blood pressure was very high and necessitated monthly monitoring visits to my family. I knew I had to engage the help of a personal trainer. I have been working out ever since with personal trainer Mike Matuz. He is a most remarkable young man who has been training, encouraging and cajoling me in this wonderful world of weight lifting. He has provided me with an integrated education system to help me make changes in my life to achieve optimal health on all levels. His extensive nutritional knowledge has completely influenced the way I approach the tasks of grocery shopping, preparing meals and of course eating. Oh, and by the way, I'm 65 years old! After just one year, my body fat has gone from 38% to 19.6% and my weight was reduced from 165 lbs to 134 lbs. My clothing size has shrunk from size 16 to size 8. With Mike’s constant encouragement, I have completely turned my life around. I no longer have high blood pressure and my endurance level seems endless. I hope to be an First Step Fitness Member for many years to come… Thank you!

First Step Fitness is a great gym! Much better than a normal gym where you're left on your own with no idea what to do, every workout is guided and fun! With a different workout every day I never get bored doing the same routine. Working out with a group is really nice, everyone is so supportive and encouraging. It's great for any level of ability as workouts can always be scaled for different skill levels. I would highly recommend First Step Fitness!

I live in Long Beach and I have visited some gyms and in my opinion First Step fitness is the best, with excellent trainers , nice classes, new machines, relaxing areas, This place is very  clean. I love it!

I visited this gym when I did a gym tour of the gyms in my neighborhood when I first moved to Long Beach. I visited a handful of gyms, and even though the sales person and the receptionist weren't really friendly, I fell in love with the facilities here! A beautiful studio area for their classes. Sure the receptionist still isn't the friendliest person, and the girls dress like they're headed to the club here, but I loooooove coming here. People watching is awesome (seriously, what are they wearing?), I can relax and it's never crowded. That and there's free parking!!

Couldn't be happier.  They really deliver on low cost-high value.  They do a great job keeping the place clean.  I don't miss the days of sign-up sheets at the city gym for cardio equipment where half the machines were.

This place is awesome! It's addicting. Great workouts, works your whole body. Every class is different and they are always challenging. You'll be sweating in the first 5 minutes. I keep thinking they'll get easier but Mike always kicks my ...!!!

My one  fear when I joined the First Step Fitness was that the workouts would end up being a lot of the same thing, but even after an entire year of attending classes at least 3 days a week, I always feel like we are doing exercises I have never done before.  I would highly recommend First Step Fitness for anyone (any fitness level) looking for a fun way to stay active or get in shape.

If one on one personal training is what you are after then you owe it to yourself to go to First Step Fitness .They are top notch!!! Mike has pushed me harder than I ever thought I was capable of enduring. I have gained so much strength. It is hard work but they make it fun and it is in a clean environment with awesome trainers. I have not regretted one minute of my commitment.
