One-on-One Personal Training in Newport Beach — At a Private Facility, Not a Commercial Gym
I'm Thomas Bays, an independent personal trainer operating as BaysFitness. I train clients one-on-one at a private facility in Newport Beach. It is not a commercial gym: there are no walk-in memberships, no sales floor, no crowds, and no group classes. Every session is just you and me.
If you've avoided big-box gyms because they feel crowded, loud, or intimidating, this is the alternative. My clients are busy professionals from Newport Beach, Corona del Mar, Costa Mesa, and Irvine who want to get strong and fix nagging pain without performing for an audience.
One-on-one, every session. You work with me directly for the full hour. I don't run groups and I don't hand you off.
A private facility, not a public gym. [FACILITY] is appointment-based and used by a small number of trainers and their clients. No walk-ins, no crowds, no waiting for equipment.
No gym membership. You pay me for training. There's no separate membership or contract to join the facility.
Same coach, start to finish. I'm a sole practitioner. The person who assesses you is the person who trains you, every time.
Low-key location. A quiet training space near John Wayne Airport with free parking outside.
Who this is for
Beginners who feel self-conscious in a big gym and want to learn proper technique from day one
Professionals who want efficient, focused sessions without distractions or a sales pitch
Adults over 40 and 50 returning to training after years away or after injury
Anyone with back pain, sciatica, posture problems, or joint stiffness who needs a trainer who understands spine health, not just reps
People who've been burned by high-pressure gym sales and want a direct relationship with one coach
You don't need to "get in shape first." Every program starts with an assessment and is built around where you are now.
Why one-on-one training beats a gym membership
A gym gives you access to equipment. A trainer gives you a plan, technique, accountability, and someone watching for the small things — a hip that shifts, a shoulder that rounds — that turn into pain months later. Two to three focused hours a week with a coach produces more change than five unfocused hours alone, and does it without injury
Is it a private gym or a regular gym? It's a private training facility, not a commercial gym. There are no walk-in memberships and no crowds — just a small number of trainers working with their own clients by appointment.
Will other people be there during my session? Sometimes another trainer may be working with their client in the space. It's never crowded, there's no waiting for equipment, and your session is fully one-on-one with me.
I've never lifted weights. Is this the right place? Yes. A quiet, private facility is the best environment to learn. I coach every rep from the ground up and there's no one to compare yourself to.
Do I need a gym membership? No. You pay for training with me; there's no separate membership or contract.
How much does it cost? Pricing depends on session frequency and package length and is quoted after your complimentary consultation. No hidden fees, no membership charges.
