My kids never really had a chance to go to any of their camps or facilities, but we started to do workouts via Zoom during Covid-19. My kids both love the classes and they keep asking to do more! My daughter is familiar with the program because this wonderful company teaches at her preschool, but the fact that she wanted to keep working out makes me so happy! They have high energy and they are all about promoting a healthy lifestyle. This is especially important because so much emphasis has been on electronics in the past decade. Surface Fitness not only helps your kids want to stay active and fit by making it the cool thing, but also teaches kids what eating healthy and staying healthy looks like. I can't wait for my kids to actually go into the studio once we are all able to do so again! But for now, we will be signing up for more classes online!

An avid participant at Surface Fitness since 2nd grade, Paige continues to workout & grow at this studio as a 6th grader now. There is everything you might need. Group classes, one:one training sessions, private training for your soccer team, swim team, water polo team & even the special olympic athletes train here. Shannon & Jacki cater to the youth ages 5 - 18. It's not just about the weight training or the cardio, it's about your child & nutrition & challenging him or he

My daughter Paige started classes at Surface Fitness when she was in 2nd grade. Paige is now 12 (6th grade) approaching 13 and we still make time to continue training at this wonderful studio. Since day 1, Shannon & Jackie have customized the workouts to maximize the benefits for our daughter. Not only do they care, but they cater to children of ALL ages & emphasize the importance of not only exercise, but nutrition & overall wellness. The studio is beautiful, clean, well organized & run in a professional way always. They are flexible & supportive & truly care about each individual. The summer camps, the holiday camps are terrific too. If you are looking for a well rounded, healthy environment for school aged kids, look NO further. Ages 5 to 18! Shannon also leads private classes for one:one training & works non stop with Soccer teams, tennis teams, water polo players & much more. Shannon is passionate about giving back to the community & supports many amazing organizations one of note is the Special Olympics LA, Santa Clarita. Shannon has opened up her bright studio to these athletes & has supported them in their endeavors as well. I want to also mention that the equipment is clean & up to date also. Shannon leads hikes & rose bowl walks from time to time as well. I have YET to find a comparable studio in the La Canada, Glendale, Pasadena area. We are part of the Surface Fitness Family & blessed to be part of her studio. Give it a try!

Surface Fitness is a wonderful place for kids. My kids have attended several winter, spring, and summer camps. Each camp/week has a unique theme and the kids loved it all! My kids also go to the regular fitness classes -- they are a good mix of fitness, nutrition education, and fun active games. Ms. Shannon and her staff create an excellent environment where kids build confidence and healthy habits. We are so lucky to have such a gem in our community!

My daughter has been taking classes here since she was 4 (she is now 7) and my son just started (he is 3). They absolutely love it. I'm so happy I found this place! My kids have fun getting a great workout. My daughter also attends the summer camps, which she loves. Shannon and Jacqueline are very professional. My kids love them. The scheduling is the same system that is used for other fitness places (such as the Pilates classes that I go to elsewhere). Very easy. I have never had any issues with scheduling. I can't recommend this place enough.

As a fitness gym for youngsters it can be hit or miss. On the one hand, if your child is scheduled with one of the 'good' trainers they seem to have a fun time and break a sweat. On the other hand the whole place is setup with a baffling addiction to online scheduling and pricing which just seems designed to make parent's lives miserable and ensure you pay for sessions you'll never use. It's difficult to solve any scheduling issues with them as they just bounce you back to their idiotic online system which doesn't leave you many options outside *emailing them,* instead of, you know, *talking to them in person.* Factor in all the times you show up and *nobody's there*--which is curious for a company addicted to technology that they can't seem to master email blasts--and you find yourself shaking your head with the other parents in the parking lot and wondering, "What the hell are we doing here?" All in all, its a wash. But it could be something great if they could get their act together.

All 3 of my kids have attended classes at Surface Fitness and love it. The owner, Shannon Pondella, and her team of highly trained teachers are creative, energetic motivators and positive role models for the kids. I know that my kids will get a challenging, fun and safe workout and come home tired and hungry! All good things!

My kids have been to several fitness classes, but Surface Fitness is the best ever. I wish they open a center near Burbank, CA., so my kids will go there for sure.
