Step 1

Your name, your number and the studio that is closer. We work around the week you already have, not the other way around.
Pasadena and Eagle Rock, CA
One full week of small group personal training at Aion Personal Training, the studio built for adults 40+. No card, no obligation.
Step 1
Your name, your number and the studio that is closer. We work around the week you already have, not the other way around.
Step 2
Before you train, a coach asks what you want back and what your knees, shoulders and back have to say about it. Your first session gets written from that conversation.
Step 3
Your program is ready when you walk in, and a coach leads you through every rep. That is the whole job on your end.
Update to my original review: Soon, I'll have been a member of Aion Personal Training for three years. My wife saw how positive the experience was for me, and she joined and has been there for over a year now. I'm 55 years old now. Compared to just three years ago, I am stronger. I am in far better shape for simple everyday things like climbing multiple flights of stairs instead of taking an elevator. Most important: I feel more confident that I will retain a stronger, healthier body as I get older. It's not that I never have setbacks. At one point, I strained a muscle in my arm. At another point, my knee started giving me trouble. The important thing is, in response to these things, the amazing coaches at Aion worked closely with me to modify my workouts and perfect my form to mitigate discomfort and strengthen vulnerable areas to protect me from a recurrence. It works! Now here's my original review, all of which still applies: I spent the first 50-ish years of my life vacillating between being active and fit, and overweight and sedentary. Dieting had me losing weight and then gaining it all back, and then some. At 40, I worked with a personal trainer who got me in great shape but weighed me weekly and shamed me whenever I gained a pound or two. Then, parenthood happened and I stopped exercising altogether. By the time the COVID lockdown ended, I could hardly make it up a single flight of stairs. I was in the worst shape of my life, and scared for my future. But I always had excuses: too busy, no time, and worst of all: why bother because I know I'll just let it go again? Then one day, I was walking down Colorado Blvd. when Aion Personal Training's sign caught my eye. A gym for people 40+? And only a short walk from my workplace? I had no excuse not to try. Marcus, the owner, was welcoming, non-judgmental, and had a straightforward sense of confidence that I could get fit and improve my life if I just... showed... up. Over the two years I've been a member, I've come to know the coaches and many of my fellow clients, and to appreciate the sense of community that's been created. The coaches have a positive energy and, during my semi-private (small group) workouts, there's an amazing level of personal attention to check my form, offer advice, and encourage me to push past where I was last week. It's a long game, and the folks at Aion Personal Training know it. My plan is to be with them for the long haul. I highly recommend that you set up a consultation if this sounds like it could be a good fit for you.
Friendly and encouraging folks are there to help one get in shape and work on whatever level one is in at the present time
We opened Aion Personal Training in 2019 for one group of people: adults 40 and over who want to be strong for the next thirty years, and who are done with gyms built for somebody half their age.
You already know what to do. Train, eat like you mean it, sleep. The problem is not the information. It is that your week is full, your last attempt hurt your shoulder, and nobody was watching closely enough to catch it.
That is the part we do. Small groups, a coach on the floor, a program written for the body you have today, and a movement swapped the day it bothers a joint. You show up. We handle the rest.
Marcus McDuffie, Founder, Aion Personal Training
Adults 40 and over, at any starting point. Most people who walk in have not trained in a while, or have something that aches. That is the normal starting line here, not the exception.
A short goal consult with a coach before you train. You talk through what you want back and anything your body is dealing with, and your first session is written from that.
The week is free. Nothing, and no card. If you want to keep training when it ends, we will talk about what that looks like. If you do not, that is a fine answer too.
