Personal trainer Miracle Mile Los Angeles searches don’t return many great options. The neighborhood sits in a stretch of LA that’s surrounded by better-known fitness destinations — West Hollywood to the north, Beverly Grove to the west, Mid-Wilshire to the east — but doesn’t have a lot of genuinely private, one-on-one studios serving it directly.

I’m Brandon Sundwall, owner of Virtuo Personal Training at 8014 West 3rd Street in Beverly Grove, minutes from Miracle Mile. I’ve been training clients across this part of LA for over a decade. Here’s what I think you should know before you choose a personal trainer Miracle Mile Los Angeles residents can actually commit to.

personal trainer Miracle Mile Los Angeles Virtuo Personal Training

1. Location Matters — And West 3rd Street Is Closer Than You Think

One of the most common reasons people fall off a fitness program isn’t motivation. It’s the commute. When the gym is inconvenient, skipping becomes the path of least resistance.

From Miracle Mile, Virtuo on West 3rd Street is a straight shot north. No freeway, no complicated routing, just a few minutes up La Brea or Fairfax. For anyone looking for a personal trainer Miracle Mile Los Angeles professionals use, that proximity puts a genuinely private studio right on your route instead of out of your way.

When the gym is easy to get to, showing up stops being a daily negotiation.


2. Private Means One Client at a Time — Every Session

The Miracle Mile and Mid-Wilshire corridor has gyms. What it doesn’t have is genuinely private personal training within an easy drive. Most options in this part of LA are shared spaces — commercial gym floors, semi-private studios, small group training labeled as personal.

At Virtuo, every session is one trainer and one client for the full hour. No rotation, no shared equipment, no other people in the room. A personal trainer Miracle Mile Los Angeles clients benefit from most is one who gives you the complete hour, every time. That level of focus produces better results and builds a better training relationship than anything you’ll find on a shared gym floor.

If you’re evaluating studios, ask specifically what private means before you commit. The answers vary more than most people expect. You can review certified training standards at the American Council on Exercise website.


3. The Best Personal Trainer Miracle Mile Los Angeles Has Builds Around Your Real Schedule

Most people in this part of LA who start a fitness program and stop don’t quit because they lost motivation. They quit because the program wasn’t built around their actual life. Work schedules, family commitments, commute patterns — the program ignored all of it and eventually the week won.

At Virtuo, every program starts with your real schedule. Early morning sessions before the workday starts. Midday sessions if that’s the window that exists. Whatever time is available, the program builds around it. A personal trainer Miracle Mile Los Angeles clients stick with is one who adjusts when life does, not one who expects your schedule to bend around a fixed template.


4. A Strong Support Network Is Part of What We Offer

At Virtuo, we have working relationships with a local chiropractor, a physical therapist, and a tennis coach. For clients coming from Miracle Mile, Mid-Wilshire, and the surrounding neighborhoods, that network matters more than most people realize when they’re signing up.

Fitness doesn’t happen in a vacuum. Old injuries surface. Movement issues come up. Goals evolve beyond weight loss into overall function and longevity. When any of that happens, a good personal trainer Miracle Mile Los Angeles clients trust is one who knows who to call and can make the referral directly. You’re not left on your own figuring out the next step.


5. The Coaching Relationship Is What Drives Long-Term Results

People hire a personal trainer Miracle Mile Los Angeles studio for the program. They stay because of the relationship.

A good trainer remembers the context of your week, not just your last set. They notice when something has shifted before you say anything. They know when to push harder and when to pull back. They treat your hour like it matters as much as everything else on your calendar — because for your health, it does.

I ask every new client a version of the same question early on: “What do you think will happen if you keep going on like this?” Most people already know the answer. Saying it out loud is usually what finally moves them to act.

At Virtuo, that honesty starts in the first conversation and carries through every session after it.

Colin

Coach

As a lifelong athlete, namely in football and rugby, the decision to pursue fitness as a career came natural to Colin. Being in the weight room as a young teenager training for football, quickly turned into a love for movement that has only grown and grown over the last decade plus.

Much of Colin’s early work in fitness was centered around sports and getting stronger and faster. However, during his time as a collegiate rugby athlete, he began exploring yoga and mobility training. Over the years since, Colin’s love of both strength and mobility training have grown into a training and coaching style equal parts power and fluidity.

Colin believes training and moving towards better health and wellness is as much about the mind as it is the body. Outside of the gym, Colin is also a Yoga and Meditation teacher and enjoys connecting mindfulness with movement in his sessions. Each person’s fitness journey will be unique, and Colin enjoys the opportunity to connect with clients to find the best path for them to reach their goals – and have fun doing so.

Colin has a Bachelors in Exercise and Sports Science as well as certifications in athletic coaching, yoga/meditation, stretching/mobility, and personal training.

Some fun facts about Colin: He has moved 15 times (so far). He plays multiple instruments but really loves guitar. Outside of the gym, he loves hiking, climbing, and surfing. He has two cats.

Sarita

Coach

Growing up as a self-proclaimed tomboy, Sarita has loved sports and fitness from a young age.

Participating in volleyball, basketball, and competitive cheerleading throughout her adolescence. After moving to Chicago, she soon found CrossFit and fell in love with weightlifting and fitness all over again. It wasn’t until she moved to LA that she began coaching and met Keith, who introduced her to Virtuo and their special mission.

Over the last ten years, she has worked in education as a Physical Education teacher and coach. She has coached many young athletes over the years and looks forward to bringing her knowledge and skill in educating others on the benefits of health and wellness to her clients.

A few fun facts about Sarita, she has completed many endurance races, including half and full marathons and Sprint and Olympic triathlons. She loves Beyonce, and being from Chicago is a part of her personality. Although she is very active, she instead not go hiking. While she has come a long way in her nutrition journey, she’s always down for chicken wings.

Sarita has a Bachelor’s in Kinesiology with a Minor in Nutrition and a Master’s in Coaching and Exercise Science, along with a Level CrossFit 1 Certification.

Jerry

Client Success Manager

My role as a client success specialist is to give the best quality service so that clients have a stress-free experience from the moment they reach out to us to the moment they become lifelong members.

It’s my goal to make sure that Virtuo is the best and last gym our clients ever need to be a member of.

I’ve always been into sports, and for me there is no better way to de-stress than to go out and exercise, whether it’s playing soccer or lifting weights or just activating my body. I had the opportunity to play soccer in college at a more competitive level and from there I made it a point to always be in sports whether it be in any area. I’m currently in school for physical therapy and helping others with their health is my passion.

The philosophy I bring into my role is that people deserve to have the best hour of their day each time they set foot in the gym and beyond. To that end, I pride myself on providing the best possible customer service.

A fun fact about me soccer fascinates me, but at the same time, it’s the thing that gives me the most grief. I always tell myself that I’ll watch a game to relax and I end up more stressed than when I started watching it. I love watching it almost as much as I enjoyed playing it!

Jonathan

Coach

For Jonny, being active was a norm of life growing up. He played football, performed in track and field in high school, and played basketball on a daily basis with the neighborhood kids he grew up with.

However, unable to play collegiate sports, Jonny found himself at a crossroads.

He spent time in martial arts and soon found a love in CrossFit, becoming skilled and eventually took on coaching. After a few years he found that personal training was the next step in his fitness career and began work here at Virtuo and has worked his clients one on one ever since.

Jonny’s clients can tell you he brings a welcoming and engaging presence, a workout that is intentional in helping his clients pursue their goals, and an overall fun experience of conversation and possible rock music. Jonny takes a lot of pride in his efforts towards his clients as well as his willingness to take on any challenges presented to him.

A strong family oriented persona and ability to make a person feel good about themselves are things Jonny is proud of, knowing he can use those traits to make any client’s experience enjoyable. Fun facts about Jonny include his skill at playing guitar and singing, being an obsessive Philadelphia Eagles fan, and enjoying Nintendo games.

He has taken great strides in his focus on nutrition but will still enjoy his favorite cheat meals and will often challenge his clients to point him in the direction of their favorite hamburger restaurants for him to try.

Along with a rock star persona, Jonny sports a Pain Free Performance Specialist Certification, a Level 1 Crossfit Credential, and a Precision Nutrition Certification. These along with 5+ years of training experience are certain to make any client’s experience with Jonny a positive one.

Keith

Coach

Keith’s fitness journey started as a young athlete playing football for Pop Warner, high school, and college along with experience in track and field and basketball.

He not only gained experience in an active lifestyle, but used his positions in the sports he played to enhance his command and leadership skills in a fitness setting.

Any client of Keith’s will tell you that a session with him will include high energy, loud singing, and masterful DJ skills, all accompanied by a workout designed to bring the best out of his clients.

Apart from the effort he puts in the gym, Keith takes pride in his sobriety, his family, and the effort he puts into maintaining all the aspects of his life he is passionate about. Training people is a natural calling for Keith, helping him fulfill a desire to help others improve themselves in their movement, self-esteem, and overall well-being.

A couple of fun facts unique to Keith include his ability to not only sing with energy but with skill, adding to the experience of being trained by him where clients not only receive a great workout but perhaps a live concert as well.

Other trainers as Virtuo can tell you that Keith is second to none in his nutrition and meal prep, however, he will treat himself occasionally to bacon-and-egg filled breakfasts that include heaps of hash browns and steak.

Along with some qualifications for rock stardom, Keith sports a Level 1 Crossfit credential, a Precision Nutrition Certification, and other credentials in programming and corrective exercise. Any client in Keith’s hands is in good hands.

Brandon

Owner

As an entrepreneur and life-long fitness enthusiast, I have a deep understanding of the intersection of personal health and career success.

As I progressed in my career in the fitness industry I was frustrated by the profit-first model of many gyms and trainers. I looked around for a place that could bridge the gap between physical health and professional success that would treat each person as an individual rather than a number on a spreadsheet.

Inspired to help other’s unlock their dreams by first taking control of their health I created Virtuo as a place where busy profesionals could come to optimize and take control of themselves to achieve in their business and personal lives.
