Success Stories
In July of 2007, I decided I wanted a personal trainer to help me recover from plantar faciitis surgery. I was a member of a big gym, worked out on my own, and had been watching the trainers there. I noticed that the clients did not seem to make much progress and never stayed with a trainer for very long. It also seemed like the trainers were distracted and not paying attention to how their clients performed the exercises. Needless to say, I was not impressed.
I wanted to lose weight, so I rejoined Weight Watchers and decided to try signing up with a personal trainer at a smaller gym. At my first session with Jesse Sadoff, a personal trainer with Innovative Results, he took all my measurements: Height, weight, blood pressure, body fat and basic fitness and strength levels. I began training with Jessie twice a week.
Jessie is a great trainer! I have lost 16 pounds and many inches. I have gone down 4 sizes in my clothes (from an extra large/size 16 to a medium/size 8). I've lost 4 inches from my chest, 3 inches from my waist and 5 inches from my hips. I can do 40 pushups and abdominal crunches without stopping and can run a mile without pain. I still have more weight to lose to hit my goal but I am making steady progress. My strength and endurance levels have made amazing progress and I feel so much better. My energy is so much higher and I am much more agile and confident than before I began training with Jesse. I'm able to do very challenging exercises and lift more weight than I ever thought I could.
Jesse is very conscientious and supervises all my workouts carefully. He makes sure that I perform the exercises correctly. He pushes me to do more than I ever thought I could do and as a result I continue to make steady progress in every area. My arms are strong and firm -- no more floppy arm wings and my abs and legs are so much stronger as is my back. Jesse also reviews my cardio workouts and diet. He monitors my cardio work out and makes suggestions to increase the intensity, prevent injuries and facilitate weight loss. What really amazes me is that I have not had any problems with my plantar faciitits since beginning my training (which now consists of a vigorous program 5 to 6 days per week). He is very knowledgeable about how the body works and heals. Jesse has also designed a personalized weight resistance program for me to use between our sessions.
I've seen the same amazing progress in Jesse's other clients. Jesse's clients seem to lose weight consistently and they all show visible improvements in overall body strength and tone. I am delighted with the results I have experienced since hiring Jesse as my personal trainer. He is very knowledgeable and willing to answer my many questions concerning fitness, machines, injuries, or diet. Receiving the instruction of a personal trainer like Jesse has been such an overall positive experience. I am confident that I will reach my weight loss goals. Even more than that, I am motivated to keep up a regular and challenging exercise program that will help me to stay strong and fit from now on!

A dream of mine has always been to compete in a fitness competition. I've always been involved with fitness, athletic and comfortable in gyms, but in the past whenever I planned to train hard for a competition, something would always stop me - an injury - or just the lack of a good plan and inability to stay focused and motivated.
Finally, at 45-years old, and having had Type I Diabetes for 30-years, with the help of trainer Aaron Guyett of Innovative Results, I fully realized my dream and competed in the Women's Tri-Fitness event with 260 other athletes in Las Vegas in July '08. It was a challenge to get ready and I am absolutely adamant that couldn't have done it without Aaron's help. He put together a specific plan and individualized my training for the event. He gave me hope and inspiration when I had serious doubts that I took all the way to the Vegas stage with me. He could instinctively tell exactly what I needed when, whether it was a big push or a hug. A very nice by-product to all the intense training was losing almost 10% body fat and 15 pounds in about 5 months. Thank you Innovative Results!
— Rita Wilds, Orange County, CA
Thanks Innovative Results for helping me get myself back on track and feeling fierce! It's been years since I have felt/looked this good. I'd almost consider myself an athlete again! Thank you Michael Foster (my VIP trainer!!) for challenging me and helping me find my inner athlete! I truly appreciate your motivation!

Last summer, I couldn't carry grocery bags up my stairway without feeling exhausted. I needed to sit down to just breathe. I suddenly came to the conclusion that I was disturbingly out of shape. Not only that, I'd get out of breath chasing my 3-year old daughter around the park. I tried going to the gym by myself because apparently, that is what people do when they feel fat and out of shape.
The problem was that I wasn't getting any results. I was already feeling angry but this put me in an even worse mood. At the same time, my friend, Michael Foster, was in the process of becoming a personal trainer and asked if I would sign up as his client. I told him "absolutely" because I knew I needed the help.
The week before I was to start training, I went on a vacation to Hawaii. It turned out to be a complete food and alcohol binge. Sadly, I don't remember much of the trip. On September 26th, 2007, five days after the vacation, I showed up at the gym for my first session with Michael. While I hated feeling very weak and slow, I knew that Mike was helping me to take steps in the right direction. For three days after my first workout, I could barely move, but it felt so good for some reason. Not only was he helping me to work out but he was helping me with my diet too. Before I began working out, I was eating fast food probably 4-7 times a week. I had to immediately stop that habit. It didn't take long at all to start seeing results. It was almost instantaneous. Although I weighed 240 pounds so I had a lot of weight to lose. In a month I lost 10 pounds just by eating well and working out with Mike a couple times a week. I continued to lose 10 pounds a month for four months straight.
By the end of February 2008, I weighed in less than 200 pounds for the first time in 6 years. I couldn't have felt any better! For the first time in a very long time, I was actually happy with myself. I wasn't waking up everyday mad at the world. I enjoyed life again. Carrying groceries was no longer a problem. Playing with my daughter just got better and better every day because I knew that what I was accomplishing would also extend my life. I never thought of it this way before, but it turned out that I was not only doing this for me, but for everyone who cared about me. Since February, I lost another 20 pounds and people are constantly telling me how much happier I seem and how much better I look. I know that I couldn't have done this without the help of Mike and everyone at Innovative Results.

I remember my first day of training with my personal trainer from Innovative Results. With ten weeks until the engagement party, six months till the wedding, and 25 pounds to lose, all I wanted to do was cry. I felt unbelievably frustrated with my body to the point that I felt completely unmotivated.
I was terrified at the thought of standing in the spotlight amidst hundreds of guests, and feeling inconfident and insecure about my body. I envisioned all the things I wanted for our wedding, and realized that the most important thing for me was looking, feeling, and being healthy and beautiful. But at that particular point in time, I felt the exact opposite. By taking the time to talk to me about my diet, and reassuring me with confidence and hope that I would indeed see results in a short period of time, my personal trainer completely turned around the way I felt about myself.
I gradually lost the 25 pounds I intended to lose, and I felt increasingly confident throughout the process. As my wedding day got closer, people kept approaching me to tell me how great I look and trying to find out how I lost so much weight. Now, when I look at the pictures from the wedding, and when I look in the mirror, I feel good about myself. This feeling is quite different from the feeling I had the first day I went to the gym.
My Innovative Results personal trainer not only impacted my wedding experience, but truly has impacted my life.

I have always had a difficult time gaining muscle. At 5'11", I never passed 145 lbs. in high school. During college I fought competitively in Tae Kwon Do, going as low as fly weight (127.6 lbs.) in 2000 for the US Olympic Qualifying Trials
After working with Innovative Results for the past 4 months, I have gone from 168 lbs. with a decent body type to a much more muscular 191 lbs. I have had strength gains across the board for every body part and I am in great condition. Although I may be in the minority of Americans who want to GAIN weight, I would highly recommend both Corey and Innovative Results to anyone looking to achieve a better body and a healthier lifestyle.
— Scott from Orange County, CA
I’ve worked out with many personal trainers, but have never experience results as quickly as I have working with Innovative Results.
Their workouts are challenging, fun and they always keeps me guessing. I enjoy working out and I look forward to every session.
— Mariana from Long Beach, CA
After moving to California from the East Coast and adjusting to life in a new place, I found myself falling into some bad habits. I stopped exercising, ate out a lot, had trouble sleeping through the night and felt very weak.
Since I stared working out with Innovative Results, I have been able to pull myself out of the slump and get back to feeling good. My clothes are not snug anymore, I have more energy and I feel much stronger. The workouts are challenging, different (so I don't get bored) and lots of fun. They also really helped me with choosing healthier eating options. I think I have finally really learned that what I put into my body is exactly what I want it to look like. This was one of the best investments that I could have made. I would definitely recommend Innovative Results to all of my family and friends!

I am a 20 year old student attending Cal State Fullerton. I've started training with Innovative Results personal trainer because I wanted to lose about 5 pounds and gain muscle tone. So far I've noticed that I have more energy for school and work . I'm not lethargic all the time anymore. My posture is improving and I am much stronger! My goals for this year are to get leaner, get stronger, and train for a half marathon.

After working internationally for Anthony Robbins, I’ve learned what it takes to succeed and push yourself to the next level. Innovative Results has helped me immensely! Not only are the workouts intense and efficient, but the personal trainers really go the extra mile and help you with all aspects of your exercise, nutrition and lifestyle. I have never worked with a better group of trainers!

When you start out on Weight Watcher’s at 11 years old, you know you are destined to have weight issues for the rest of your life. I blamed my Mom, I blamed my predisposed genetics, I blamed my unpredictable activity induced asthma. I was looking for someone to say "it’s OK that you're over weight because you can't do anything about it".
I had settled into an uncomfortable 167 lbs. at 5'5" tall. I’ve always been very proportioned so when I told people that I weighed that much, they were extremely surprised. I told everyone I wanted to lose 42 lbs. which at that point seemed impossible. I got "You're crazy" looks and, "you look great, why so much?" The answer: I didn’t feel comfortable at that weight. I was sluggish. I had no energy. I was having stomach problems on a daily basis. I was outgrowing my clothes on a monthly basis and didn’t feel like it was going to stop. I didn't have the will power to control my portions. I never ate badly; I just ate a lot of it. I’'ve always been the salad eating type. I actually hate hamburgers. I felt hopeless because to me, I was eating right.
Well, I changed all that. I came to Innovative Results in January of 2008 starting training 3 days a week. I remember having such a hard time getting through the workouts, but as the pounds came off, I realized it was getting easier. Along with my workouts, eating controlled proportioned meals and healthy snacks, I've been able to lose 30lbs. and 22 inches off my chest, waist and hips. I haven't had any stomach problems since I've changed my diet and I haven’t had any unpredictable asthma attacks. I fit into clothes that I wore 10 years ago and most importantly my expensive jeans again. I still have about 12 lbs. that I want to lose, but I know it will come off gradually. Innovative Results is great to train with because you don't get burned out. Every workout is challenging so your body doesn't plateau. I was worried about building too much muscle, but I haven't.
This has been a complete lifestyle change for me and I can't thank my Innovative Results personal trainer enough for helping me make it happen.
— Andrea from Irvine, CA
Working out with Innovative Results was the best decision I could have made. It has completely changed the way that I look at eating healthy and working out. They’ve made exercising and eating the right foods become more of a lifestyle change than actual work or an inconvenience.
My personal trainer showed me the right way to do exercises and how to incorporate them into my daily routine. I was completely satisfied with my results that I even recommended him to my friends and coworkers.
— Lee from Orange County
I would never have thought I would need or even desire to work with a personal trainer. I am one of those people that have been blessed with great genes. Now that I have experienced working with my trainer, I am beginning to understand the difference!! My endurance is incredible and not only do I feel stronger physically, but mentally as well. Thank You!!!
— Kacee from Orange County, CA
Before I started training with Innovative Results, I would always give myself a reason NOT to go to the gym... and if I did end up going, I would do the elliptical for 20 minutes and that was it.
I love training with my personal trainer because now I actually look forward to going to the gym. My trainer always has my routine for the day all planned out and I don't even have to think about what to do, I just show up and do it and know that it is helping me. He knows my problem areas and the areas that I want to work on and designs exercises to specifically target those areas. Even if I don't want to go, I know he is expecting me and I am always glad I went after I'm done.
Now that I have been working out on a regular basis, I am able to notice a significant improvement in my energy and stamina. My overall mood is better and I just feel good about myself. It's nice not to have to wake up every day and worry that you look fat or feel fat. You just live happier.

Corey is a very knowledgeable and effective trainer. He has been a tremendous motivator for me. As a fitness competitor (and trainer myself), I feel he pushes me to beyond my own expectations to achieve greater athletic successes. I am excited about the possibilities of what I can accomplish with him on my side!

Every time at exercise I feel great because of the challenging workout routines you provided. Even when I couldn't move another muscle, you pushed me the next level of physical and mental endurance. It's also good to know that my crazy work hours do not interfere with my exercise since you are at the gym 6-days a week, making you a very reliable trainer. I don't need to wait to re-schedule and make an appointment, which is very important because I never have a fix schedule. I look forward to what I can accomplish in 2008 with your help!
— Affie from Irvine, CA
I had never worked out with a trainer before and I was a little hesitant. However, it has been a great experience. I have seen faster and better results working out with Innovative Results three times a week versus going four or five times a week on my own. My trainer listens to what my goals are and tailors my workouts so I can achieve them. He provides very useful and practical tips for cooking at home and eating out. They are flexible with my work and travel schedule and lets me make up workouts before or after my trips. I used to dread going to the gym, but I actually look forward to my workouts. They have helped me get back into shape and it feels great.
— Ben from Huntington Beach, CA
I’ve NEVER been to a trainer and honestly didn't think i needed one but the past 2 months have completely changed my life. They know exactly how hard to push and they gave me the opportunity to have the body I’ve always wanted. I’m getting older, my metabolism isn't as good and my college injuries are beginning to haunt me. So instead of starving myself or going on some trendy diet I'm doing it correctly. I've given them 2 months and they’ve given me the best body of my life. All my friends have noticed a change for the better in my body. I’m happier, i have more energy, and I've lost weight! I came to Innovative Results with the goal of losing weight and becoming leaner. Together we did that.
— Leilani, Orange County, CA
I wanted to take this opportunity to thank you for all of your hard work over the past few months. The changes that I'm starting to see would have been impossible for me to imagine when I started. At first I was a little surprised that the workout involved the use of dumbells, boxes, and balls as opposed to multiple "state of the art" nautilus machines. A couple of sessions into this I realized of how little importance most of this equipment is. I had never heard the term functional fitness when the training started and I can't imagine ever going back to highly mechanized workout now. The nutrition plan that you have got me set up on is the only one that has ever made sense to me. I have had a few trainers over the years who have given me advice of all sorts. I've cut the carbs, cut the fat, increased the number of meals, and decreased the calories. They have recommended a diet of protein powders and bars with ingredients that only a chemist could
identify. When I asked your advice on what to eat and you replied "If nature made it, it is probably ok" a light seemed to go off. The natural, whole food diet I now consume feels not like a "diet" but rather a lifestyle choice I have enjoyed making ,and one of the biggest contributions to my success. Physically, I feel like anything is possible ,and for that I thank you!
— Jacob from Orange County, CA
My endurance is going thru the roof! My energy is high and I look forward to training everytime!
This is the best way to get your day started right!
— Perry from Irvine, CA
When I started training with my personal trainer, I was READY to make lifestyle changes and do what I needed to do. By changing the way I eat and following the exercise program, I lost 40 lbs and 11% body fat on the BMI in about 6 months, while adding a TON of muscle. My energy continues to sustain my hectic life and people still tell me I'm like a whole new person. Today, it feels SO much better to be healthy and I continue to work toward my BMI goal that should give me washboard abs, something I never thought my body type could have!
I want to thank my personal trainer at Innovative Results for being a GREAT trainer and a Great person. Thank you for all the laughter during training too! Call them, listen, and your life won't be the same again!
— Amy from Anaheim, Orange County, CA

Thank You Innovative Results!
— Taylor from Irvine, Orange County, CA
I started with Innovative Results in the beginning of December of 2007. Before starting, I was very skeptical thinking that I knew it all. I felt that there was nothing any personal trainer could teach me that I did not already know.
After my first session I quickly began to eat those words. I came to my personal trainer to specifically target/build my legs. Since then, I have gained 15 lbs. of noticeable difference. I am extremely happy with my results and more importantly with meeting Corey who is far more than just a personal trainer. Thanks!
— Mike from Newport Beach, Orange County, CA
After getting out of the Marine Corps and going back to school, a busy life took over and I completely let myself go physically. I was the heaviest I had ever been in my life. When I started, I was a little hesitant as to what would happen. After 6 months and dropping over 20 lbs of fat, I gain lean muscle and I'm feeling better than ever.
I owe it to the professionalism and knowledge of my personal trainer who helped me change my lifestyle by giving me that extra push in the gym and the right nutritional tools to accomplish my goal of getting back in shape.
— Tom from Newport Beach, Orange County, CA
My personal trainer took the time and effort to find out what my goals were and devised creative ways to attain those goals. Unlike other "personal training" they took the time to examine my current lifestyle and made not only the training but the diet fit into my daily routine.
After 5 weeks on the program we agreed to set in place I'm well on the way to achieving the goals that were set out in the begining and I have no doubt that the same satisfaction will be felt by anyone that listens and applies the direction Innovative Results gives them.
— Colin from Orange County, CA
My personal trainer from Innovative Results has helped me become an elite competitor again.
