“I am absolutely stronger than I was a decade ago. This new lease on life (seriously) is due to Jeff’s workout. Remarkable change for me and inspiring. More stamina and awareness of my core. Unbelievable the short amount of time weekly one has to commit to for exceptional results. I wish everyone was aware of this unique approach so they can enhance their life. There is no better gift than staying healthy.” Lisa G.

It may sound too good to be true—a private, once-a-week, 25-minute full-body strength workout. Just you and a trainer in a private, low-key workout studio. But it is true!

You have probably discovered that we begin to lose muscle mass sometime in our 30s, and it continues as we get older. If we don't replace the muscle, it is naturally replaced with fat. Weight training has been proven to help reverse the process, as well as INCREASE STRENGTH, BONE DENSITY, METABOLISM, CARDIOVASCULAR FUNCTION, GLUCOSE TOLERANCE and BALANCE. View Benefits of Strength Training.

The Workout Garage program is probably not like any you've ever done. Our "slow-motion, high-intensity" weight training is not new; it was developed at the University of Florida School of Medicine in the early eighties. With this workout the major muscles and core are safely worked deeply and thoroughly. So much so that it only needs to be done once a week. The muscles safely reach maximum exertion in a very short amount of time by slowly lifting and lowering (slow-motion) the weight load without pausing between repetitions (high-intensity).

It's perfect for busy adults and an excellent program for seniors. Owner and trainer Jeff Grossman customizes each session to each individual's ability and ensures proper form for a controlled and effective workout. Learn more in our series of Articles.

 Private Workout Studio In Pacific Palisades

No music. No juice bar. No social scene. The Workout Garage is all about a safe and focused, core-strengthening, one-on-one full-body workout. Our slow-motion, high-intensity workouts are done on top-quality weight machines and customized to each individual, and any physical limitations are taken into consideration. (We have clients with hip replacements, knee replacements, arthritis, bursitis, partially torn rotator cuffs and partially torn meniscuses.) Each session consists of single sets of continuous motion reps on each of The Workout Garage's "Big 5" weight machines. Sessions last about 25 minutes and need to be done only once a week. 

The Workout Garage is a comfortable, air-conditioned studio located in a former garage behind a home in the Alphabet Streets of Pacific Palisades. Scheduling is flexible, and sessions are usually available Monday through Saturday from 7:00 a.m. until 3:00 p.m.

Health Benefits

High-intensity strength training has almost immediate results. The percentage increase in muscle strength can be significant even after a few 25-minute weekly sessions. This is great news for anyone wanting to improve overall health and facilitate healthy aging. For post-menopausal women, intense muscle stress is essential as a stimulus for increasing bone density. Read study. In fact, these strength exercises were originally developed as a research project for elderly patients with osteoporosis. Results were so effective at increasing bone density as well as lean muscle mass and muscle strength, it was determined that most everyone would benefit from the workout.

What The Numbers Say

Below: Progressive increase in strength over time for three current clients. Note that even after 3 months, an 89-year-old client experienced a significant increase.

Below: A current 68 year-old female client increased her bone density and reduced her likelihood for fracture with weekly sessions over a two-year period. Improving bone density in post-menopausal women is extremely difficult as density tends to naturally decrease with age.

"I have been doing this workout for over 8 years, and I have never been hurt. I have skipped no more than a handful of sessions just because I didn't feel like doing it. (It's only 25 minutes!) I am in better shape now at 79 than I was in my twenties. I'm not ripped and buff, but I am lean and strong. My stomach has never been so firm. My 71-years-young wife, who is not an athlete, started when I did, and she is fit and toned...she looks better than she did when we got married!" — Jeff Grossman
