I am not a fan of working out, but I am a HUGE fan of STLA! I knew when I hit 70 I needed to do something to re-build my strength and stamina to keep up with 4 grandchildren. Working out with Jonathan has allowed me to exceed my expectations! I am able to lift heavy grocery bags, get in and out of my car at record speed and carry two kids at a time all while keeping my balance. I convinced a few gal pals to join me and we have been committed to 3 days a week for more than a year. Cheers to staying strong!

I started training with Jonathon during an extended trip to LA and I’d highly recommend STLA. I hadn’t done personal training before and I appreciated that he took time to initially understand my goals (strength training and balance) and then he curated the workout accordingly. As a former NFL player, he has a wealth of expertise in training and nutrition. STLA has a lot of resources to build a sustainable routine. There’s an app with daily workout plans and options to do virtual personal training — all of this is helpful if you’re traveling and want to maintain a consistent fitness regimen. I’d also recommend this gym for the opportunity to support a local business and entrepreneur. Jonathon’s top priority is to create a community feeling in his gym and it always feels like a welcoming environment. He makes a point of introducing any new people at the gym - especially during the boxing classes.

This place is outstanding as a facility but even better with the personal trainer and owner Jonathan. My 10 year old soccer player daughter has been training with Jonathan for about 9 months now and I have seen such a positive change. In her attitude, work ethic, and physical ability. Jonathan is amazing with her, motivating her and pushing her to be her very best. My daughter is so lucky she found Jonathan. She loves training with him and looks forward to her next session.

STLA gym is the best! I love coach Jonathan Amaya. He is so passionate about fitness and helping you get into better shape. I always tell everyone about my ex-NFL star personal trainer. Jonathan has helped both my physical and mental health by pushing me past what I thought was possible. I would highly recommend this gym to all my friends and family.

For 3 years I’ve been working out with Jonathon Amaya, founder of STLA gym. I’ve had over a dozen trainers in the past decade and he’s by far the best. His passion for his work is evident in his dedication to his gym/clients. He keeps me accountable which is what I need and pushes me to be the best version of myself. I trust him and his workouts entirely and I’ve even hired him for Netflix corporate events. He changes up the workouts, which keeps you on your toes and also makes it fun. He has the ability to accommodate all ages and body types because he is a master of his craft, which comes with his 15+ years as a professional athlete.
