I met Bayo and team at function fitness during my fitness journey. He was so kind and helpful in understanding my body and how to use fat as fuel. I’ve never felt better. Place is clean and everyone is very friendly! Highly recommended.

I've attached some before and after photos after with my first year with Bayo, but since then we've been with working out with Bayo for the last 4 years. He's really so awesome to work with! He's the right balance of encouraging me to step it up a little, to adjust my form, to go on to the next set. It's great to have a coach by my side since by myself, I would have a hard time pushing myself to do any lunges (that I hate), and to do the number of sets my body needs. Also, he's really good at changing up what we do week to week so my body never gets used to certain routines. He's a wonderful guy too, and great company. We really enjoy working out with Bayo and it's definitely changed my life for the better.

I’ve trained briefly with Bayo, and he’s incredibly detailed and technical. He pays close attention to form and gives thoughtful corrections, which really helps build a strong foundation especially if you’re just starting your fitness journey. You will feel strong and functional in just a few weeks. His gym is also very clean and private, a big plus!

I truly cannot believe it, but Bayo and I are fast approaching our 1-year training anniversary. I guess time truly flies when you're having fun getting fit! In summary: If you love to workout and if you are serious about fitness, being healthy, happy, kind, responsible, diligent, and all-around-awesome, you will have an amazing resource in Bayo. His knowledge runs deep and he embodies the teachings of functional fitness. He is a master of his craft, wants the best for his clients in ever aspect of their lives, and will make sure you are getting there efficiently. For those of you who like to read...continue on... A little about me: You can consider me to be the pickiest, highest-standard-having-brat when it comes to trainers. I am a life-long athlete; I played in college; and I've been absolutely spoiled in coaches and trainers along the way. Around a year ago (and after many a boring spin class) I felt ready to head back into the gym, to lift, and work to regain the muscle. I knew what I was looking for was going to be hard to find. I needed to find a trainer who understood what my body is capable of (while considering my injuries), and also, who could create killer and exciting workouts that yielded results. I found all that and much more in Bayo and Alternative Fitness Training. A lot about Bayo: Bayo is absolutely awesome! Bayo is a trainer who lives, breaths, and graciously teaches fitness and wellness in totality. As someone who is on a fitness journey, he is a constant source of inspiration to me and constantly gives such helpful affirmation, too. I knew my research had paid off as soon as I walked into Bayo's gym in Downtown Los Angeles. Bayo has a super clean space with a very cool layout and so many pieces of equipment. When we first met we chatted for a bit about my goals, did some measuring, and then got to working out. It was so great meeting a trainer who was both as serious but also as laid back as I! I truly felt so lucky to have found him. And basically, I've been hooked ever since. I have even recently upped to seeing Bayo 3 times a week for 1-hour. I have absolutely seen the exact changes I wanted to see in my body, and I owe that to Bayo - even though he would never take credit! He is a master of his craft. He doesn't have to create a workout before you arrive, he sort of let's you inspire him or he gauges your ability, and then can magically create and modifying something on the spot. It's beyond impressive and makes for a seriously fun time.

Bayo is a great trainer. He is dedicated, knowledgeable, and consistent. When I trained with him, he was diligent about providing different types of workouts that were interesting and challenging. He also provided nutrition guidance and kept me accountable. I would highly recommend working with him!
