Orion is an amazing trainer! He is very knowledgeable in what he teaches and shows so much passion towards helping his clients!
Orion listens and structures a workout for my level. I’m an older guy so that’s exactly what I want!
Orion is an amazing trainer! He care's about his client's and has a passion for people and fitness and it shows. He doesn't push you to the point that you want to quite but encourages you to go just a bit farther than you thought you could. I would send everyone I could here. Well worth the cost!
I came in for the 730am class and it was great. I was healing from a sprained ankle and Orion demonstrated many different variations of exercises that I was able to do. Thanks for the great workout.
Orion creates great workout plans that are tailored to our individual needs and goals . Highly recommend!
Orion Vilchis is an absolute phenomenal trainer. He takes consideration of injury’s but still pushes you to your next threshold.
I felt for months like I hit a plateau working out. I got with Orion and he designed a workout plan for me. It has challenged me and has broken me out of that plateau and I am seeing results! I highly recommend working with Orion.
Coach Orion has created a comfortable positive atmosphere. He has walked me through workouts slowly to prepare my body the next steps and to prevent me from injury. I feel encouraged to push myself a little harder every week.
The 3 most important things you want in a trainer are experience, knowledge, and personality. Orion has all that in spades. I’ve trained with him for years and he’s the greatest. I can’t recommend working with him enough.
I have been training with Orion for 6-months and couldn't be happier with the results. As a 54-year-old, I was looking for a low-impact fitness program that focuses on strength and mobility to help me stay strong as I age. Orion has exceeded my expectations in every way. The training sessions are thoughtfully designed, avoiding high-impact activities like running and jumping. Orion has a deep understanding of how to build strength and improve mobility without putting unnecessary strain on my joints. Thanks to Orion’s expertise and guidance, I have noticed significant improvements in my overall strength and flexibility. I highly recommend Orion to anyone looking for a personalized and effective fitness program, especially those who prefer low-impact exercises tailored to each individual.
As a beginner, I appreciated that Coach Orion catered to our level and yet challenged us to push harder each time. He was incredibly knowledgeable and patient, always taking the time to explain techniques and ensure we were performing the exercises correctly. This program not only helped us with our fitness but also helped strengthen our relationship using teamwork and communication that translated outside of the gym too.
I’ve been training with Orion for a little over a month and my experience has been amazing! Highly recommend him! Personal training at its best. He deeply cares and listens intently providing a customized plan for my needs and goals. I’ve had trainers in the past but never one that helped me not only reach my goals but do it in a way that’s not intimidating at all. I feel so empowered strong!
I'd like to tell you a story if you have the time... I started my weight loss journey or "Project Cute Booty" in October of 22. Starting weight- 210 lbs. to 145 lbs. and holding since December. Along the way, I tore my ACL for a second time and was falling short, daily. My husband and I decided we needed a major lifestyle change. He found and started training with Orion in February of 2024. After 3 months of consistent work, all back and knee pain... gone and at 55 years old, he says he is stronger today than he was at 45. His testimony of Orion's work convinced me to sign up in December 2024. We are just at 4.5 months in and the progress is astounding! I am lifting beyond my expectations, no body pain at all. (except for muscle soreness following workouts) I have muscle definition in places I never new had muscles to define. ORION IS WORTH EVERY.SINGLE.DIME! My workouts are pre-planned and are specific to my goals. He pushes me past my own stubbornness and on more than one occasion, proven that I am stronger than I give myself credit for. 10/10 highly recommend! Tell him Nikki sent you!
I signed up for weekly weight training in August 2024 with Coach Orion. I needed help strengthening overall muscle tone as growing older began to have its way. I have been active all my life but never had any weight training. So, I wasn’t sure what to expect. I found a trainer who listened to my goals and concerns, evaluated my present condition, and created a plan that fit me. Since then, he has worked on his plan, making adjustments depending on the week. I have found Coach O knowledgeable about the best training I needed and flexible when things changed. He pushes me to get stronger every week. I have been amazed at my progress. Did I say Coach O is personal, friendly, and encouraging? He is all three. When I first met him, I told him to kick my butt, no matter how whiny I was on a given day. Today I call him Coach Kick My Butt. I am so glad Coach Orion is my weight trainer…and friend.
Working with Orion has been nothing short of transformative—for both me and my 9-year-old son. From day one, Orion created a thoughtful, challenging, and fun training program that allowed us to start and finish our workouts together. It became a bonding experience we both looked forward to, and my son was consistently engaged, motivated, and excited to push himself in a healthy, age-appropriate way. What really sets Orion apart is his incredible depth of knowledge—not just in fitness programming, but also in injury prevention and rehabilitation. I came in dealing with back and elbow issues, and he carefully integrated mobility work, strength-building, and recovery exercises that significantly reduced my pain and helped restore function. His attention to form and his ability to adapt movements based on how my body was responding made me feel safe and supported every step of the way. Orion has a gift for balancing professionalism with a personal touch—always encouraging, always listening, and always pushing us just enough to grow stronger, both physically and mentally. If you’re looking for a personal trainer who truly cares, understands the science behind training, and can work with clients of all ages and abilities, I can’t recommend Orion highly enough. It’s been a game-changer for our family.
Coach Orion is highly skilled and dedicated to helping you reach your full potential! Thank you Coach Orion for the perfecting my craft in my stand up game! Looking forward to more sessions in the future!????????????
I had an amazing experience! The Saturday morning workout and devotional was fantastic. Coach Orion is incredibly encouraging and created a circuit workout that’s perfectly tailored to all fitness levels, making it both challenging and accessible. The positive atmosphere and personalized approach make him stand out. I highly recommend him to anyone looking to boost their fitness journey with a supportive community!
Orion goes above and beyond to ensure his clients are well informed, trained and knowledgeable on health. His patience, dedication and perseverance are what separate him from the others. He has been such a pleasure to work with, and I am very thankful to our lord and savior he was brought into my life. Thanks to his program and commitment to helping me turn my health situation around, I can say my health has improved. I would recommend his services to anybody looking to improve their health, get stronger or simply exercise more. Thanks to him, I firmly believe I can conquer any challenge or obstacle I face both in the gym and out in the world.
My husband and I are over 68, mom is 92. We started training 6 weeks ago. Orion customized individual plans for us, taking our limitations into consideration. We unanimously agree that we feel stronger, our balance is better and our stamina is stronger. Plus we sleep better at night!! Go Orion!
