Almost 2 years ago I started MAT and strength training because I was old and suffered with back pain and continued Sciatica. After several months I had forgot what made me begin the journey. I have virtually no pains in legs and I am standing straighter and don't stoop over when standing as many of my same age friends are doing. It is a journey and hard work is paying off. Mat doesn't stop the aging process but it slows it down and let's me know I am raging against the night,not going softly. Thanks to Blair,Jeff,Eric and Mike for helping me have a better quality physical life. You won't regret the work you put in

I am completely impressed with the people, program and facility that Ventura Training and Athletics has. I’ve been in the personal training/HIT business for 30 plus years and have met many good trainers and seen a lot of excellent facilities. I just installed a new line of Imagine Strength machines for them and saw many examples of their amazing trainers and got use many of their unique and effective machines. I highly recommended you do your strength and exercise with them.

I have been working with the team at VTA for the last year and my results have been phenomenal. As a mother of 3, time is one of my biggest issues. Their programs are targeted and precise and in the 1-2 hours per week I work with them have seen better results than the 5-6 hours I used to put into training.

We can't recommend VTA enough! Jeff and Eric are another fitting piece to my sons athleticism. He trains hard and plays a lot of baseball so the stress his body takes is a lot for a 14 yo. But knowing we have Jeff and Eric to get him to his fullest potential sets our minds at ease! He goes in sore and tight, leaves pain free and like he's walking on clouds! My son looks forward to it weekly!

I've had back/hip issues for about 10 years now since my college athletics days. I've seen a bunch of different PTs, specialists, etc with limited to no results, but felt improvement as soon as I started MAT treatment. Blair is one of the best in the business. Working with him and Eric has allowed me to get back into more of an active lifestyle and keep my body firing on all cylinders. Would strongly recommend whether it's for recovery, injury prevention, maintenance, or for improved performance!

I have been working with Jeff and Blair for a few years now and my athletic career has taken off. A few years ago my baseball career would have possibly ended due to an injury that didn't happen yet but it was on the horizon and Jeff basically made my body brand new and stronger than ever before.

I've been seeing Eric Bloom for about 4 months now. The results were immediate and continue to improve my physical health. I'm just a regular guy who plays golf from time to time, surfs now and again, but shoulder and back pain limited my ability to enjoy simple things. With Eric's help, my endurance, strength and flexibility have changed dramatically. Highly recommend MAT

Can’t say enough about this place. Jeff Wright and Eric Bloom are getting me stronger and fitter than I’ve felt in years. I am naturally starting to do things I haven’t been able to do in over a decade. I’m in my 40s and had been living with with back pain and recurrent injuries while trying to maintain an active life. If I went for a surf or run, it would be days of recovery and often a new injury. Daily foam rolling like crazy, lots of stretching, and always some nervousness about pain flaring during activities. Now I just go out and surf, and run, and am starting to bike again. Pain-free and smoothly! And not just do them, Do them hard and often multiple days in a row. It’s blowing my mind. My wife cannot believe it either. MAT has helped more than anything I’ve ever done. Jeff and Eric are the real deal. Worth every penny.

Started seeing Blair and Jeff about six months ago. As a middle-aged athlete with lifelong back problems that have limited my participation in sports, I am now pain-free in that area and experimenting with increasing my number of days playing. I was a skeptic about MAT at first, but my husband, who has his own personal success story, urged me to try it. So glad I did. Blair and Jeff are not only consummate professionals, but also good conversationalists, which, for a workout hater like me, makes getting well more fun.

The Best! Blair and his team are extremely knowledgeable and skilled at using Muscle Activation Techniques. I drive 3+ hours to see Blair, and will continue to because of the results. I have experienced significant improvements in achieving full function and no pain over the past two years of treatment.

After playing high level baseball, basketball, tennis and golf for the last 35 years and being a stout individual, my body was falling apart even though I was doing what I was told from previous athletic trainers. Thru a comprehensive program working on my entire body, not just working on what was in pain, my entire body is functioning better than it was 30 years ago. Not only is the back, knee, arm and ankle pain gone, but I am much stronger than ever and am not worrying about what is going to break down next, instead I am pushing to new and higher limits. Blair is amazing at what he does and guides you thru the entire process. Jeff is the best athletic trainer out there and corrects you during the training process when you don't even realize that you are doing the exercise incorrectly. Long story short, if you want to be the best version of you, go see these guys.

I have not only been learning soo much about my body, but my function has made huge improvements from range of motion and strength since I started with these guys. The pain in my leg has gone from a 9 to about a 4 on most days as well, which that alone makes them saviors to me.

I was suffering from arthritis in my hips and had a decreased range of motion. With MAT, I have gained back full range of motion and feeling pain free.

This is the place to be if you want to become the best version of yourself. These guys really know that they’re talking about, it is an experience like no other. I feel 10x better then when I first came in. The unique machines are the best way to train and get stronger. The environment is great as well everyone is rooting for you to get better.

Been going to VTA for almost 2 years now. When I first met Jeff and Blair, I was a sophomore in high school who was constantly hurt but I always wanted to get the best out of my sports abilities and skills. I currently live in LA and the drive can be tough sometimes but it is definitely worth it. After going for almost 2 years consistently now, I now have a D1 Baseball Scholarship, I’m in the best shape of my life, and I’m injury free. I’m now starting my senior year of high school and I plan on not stopping soon. Trust the Process!
