Schad is the best trainer in the LA/OC area! Before I started training with Schad, I had chronic lower back pain, flaring up about every month. I didn’t really know how to exercise anything outside of my upper body and was doing what I knew with my bros. I’ve been training with coach Schad at Force3 Fitness for since 2018 and it’s transformed my strength & performance. Best of all, my back & legs... More
Schad is the best trainer in the LA/OC area! Before I started training with Schad, I had chronic lower back pain, flaring up about every month. I didn’t really know how to exercise anything outside of my upper body and was doing what I knew with my bros. I’ve been training with coach Schad at Force3 Fitness for since 2018 and it’s transformed my strength & performance. Best of all, my back & legs are as strong as ever so I’m no longer afraid of injuring my back. He’s helped me train my wife, mother-in-law, and many of my friends. Highly recommend you check out Force3 Fitness! Less

This is worth reading 🤩:Schad Gibbons, owner of Force3 Fitness is one of the BEST personal trainers in OC! Schad is not only passionate about fitness but is also involved in his community. He’s a regular at local networking events and collaborates with organizations like the Friendly Center to host fundraisers that benefit youth and families.Working with Schad is like having a personal life coach. He takes the time to understand your goals, tailors a workout and nutrition plan to your lifestyle, and motivates you every step of the way. Schad’s personal fitness journey—which you will hear when you start working with him—makes him relatable and uniquely qualified. He knows exactly what it’s like to start from where you are and transform into something GREATER!My 14-year-old son is training with Schad, and the changes I’m seeing go beyond physical fitness. Schad is helping my son grow mentally and emotionally—teaching him discipline, accountability, and how to make healthier choices. My son is starting to think more like a young man, making decisions that align with the values Schad reinforces during their sessions. I see it! It’s incredible to hear what they’ve worked on and see how fitness is shaping his mindset.If you’ve ever thought about making a change—whether for yourself, your kids, or your family as a whole—I recommend Schad Gibbons and Force3 Fitness 1,000%. Even a single session can make a difference. Fitness is about so much more than muscles or looking good; it’s about building a lifestyle, achieving your goals, and becoming the BEST version of yourself. You have nothing to lose and everything to gain by working with Schad! Give YOU a shot!! Less

By curating workouts twice a week that cater to strength training, flexibility, mobility, and endurance, Schad always makes sure I never get bored or discouraged. He is not only a trainer but a genuine coach. He sets realistic expectations while also pushing me to train hard and work for results. I trust him to know how far I can push my body and can’t wait to see the results of our hard work in another two years. Thank you Schad! Appreciate it always 💪🏼 Less
