Milagros Personal Training Center, Solana Beach CA

My neighbor told me about Milagros Fitness in Solana Beach!
After going on their website and reading their reviews, I felt good about putting my body’s health in their hands. I have concerns with my neck, and after physical therapy, I needed a place that could take care of the rest of my body’s fitness needs. I originally spoke with the owner Marcus. He asked all the right questions about my history of exercise, any medications I might be on, if I had any injuries, and my expectations and goals. He gave me a complementary session with one of his trainers. I’ve been working with Lane for the last eight months and I really see a difference! He’s really patient, and very knowledgeable regarding rehabilitative exercise, and I really look forward to our sessions.
I also love how clean Milagros is and professional all the trainers are. Highly recommended!

I was in Del Mar for a horse show for a couple of weeks & I needed to find a personal trainer to keep up with my workout regimen while away from home. Lane at Milagros Personal Training Center is AMAZE! Great training. Awesome, fully equipped, clean gym with the friendliest clients. I felt like I was home & the pup visitors were an added perk! I’m heading back home, feeling super fit & can’t wait to come back & train with Lane at Milagros! Also Marcus, the owner, is super sweet as well! First session is free, which is also awesome!

I have been training at Milagros on and off for 15 years, have tried other facilities but always return. The three trainers I have experienced - currently with Lane who is incredible - have all been superior in knowledge, enthusiasm and professionalism. The center is immaculate and clean. An added bonus is the location being close to the ocean as fresh sea breezes circulate during workouts. I give Milagros nothing less than 5 stars!

Have started here to work on my mobility as I am graceful as a tank full of lead. Marcus is an excellent trainer and paces the routines to the way I feel and my ability (or lack thereof). He is very understanding of us 'mature' people. Very clean gym. Thanks to his efforts, I can feel some improvement.

I have been a client of Milagros for 20 years. I have been in and out of other gyms as well but have continued to train at Milagros because of the level of professionalism there. Marcus and his staff are extremely knowledgeable and I always get a fantastic work out. Not only is the facility light and bright but everyone is always very friendly and upbeat. There are plenty of places to get personal training but nothing compares to Milagros and I highly recommend it.

I’ve been working out at Milagros for 2 years now. When I joined in the middle of the pandemic, at 45 years old I had found myself out of shape and trying different fad diets that did not lead to the results that I was looking for. It was unsustainable and led to weight gain over time. The highly qualified trainers at Milagros not only helped me build the muscle I needed to fuel my metabolism, but they also got me off the fad diet trends and consulted me on a consistent program I could adhere to. I’m finally getting back to where I was in my late 20s and it is directly attributed to Milagros and the skill of Marcus the owner and his staff. The facility is clean, not crowded and has all of the equipment necessary to get a full body workout in. I highly recommend Milagros!

Milagros is so much more than just a personal training center, it's a sanctuary and respite for the world where all aspects of your physical health are considered, and then accounted for. The owner, Marcus, and Lane, my trainer, care deeply for their clientele, and demonstrate this care in multiple ways. From the comfort of a beautiful and pristine facility, to a regularly evolving personalized fitness plan, to the warmth and care that you are much more than just someone who needs to exercise. Your 1: 1 time provides you with strength that transcends every aspect of your life. Your tailored plan addresses any challenges or physical restrictions, and then quickly produces results that eliminate these hurdles! Whether you are young or old, or somewhere in the middle, healthy or restricted, feel amazing or in pain, don't wait to take advantage of your first complimentary session. Milgros changed my life, it will change yours too.

I’ve been training at Milagros since 2010 (12 years now). I’m a part time resident of Solana Beach and at age 65 had just begun personal training in NYC and was looking for a great place with capable trainers and a friendly atmosphere. I happened upon Milagros and met the owner, Marcus Bornstein who welcomed me with a friendly hello and accommodated my schedule. Milagros is professional, spotlessly clean, with very good accredited trainers, including Lane and Laura and has well maintained up to date equipment. It is a spacious private gym, set up that even when all the trainers are in session, you have plenty of options and you are not waiting for equipment. I, have had great results with my posture, strength, and balance and happy to recommend Marcus and his team.

I started working out at Milagros a year after the pandemic in February 2021. What an awesome space to workout in, clean, lots of equipment, beautiful environment and knowledgeable trainers! It's a couple blocks from the beach and the fresh ocean air is a big plus for me, since gyms typically have poor airflow. I look forward to my workouts, which I never used to do with my last trainer since it was in a public busy gym. Everyone knows each other at the hour I work out at and I've actually made some great friends at Milagros! Highly recommended!

I am a relative new comer to Milagros having joined less than a year ago. I knew I needed the expertise and extra push that only a good personal trainer could give me beyond my normal peleton and strength training. What a great facility and even greater people. The trainers are excellent and have a very personalized approach that is helping me reach my goals. The atmosphere is amazing and the clientele and trainers all know each other and support each other. This is the first review I have ever written on any business which tells me I am a big fan of Marcus and his team. Personalized approach, intelligent trainers and friendly environment-cant speak more highly of them. Don Moser

I work out at the Milagros Personal Training Center and have had all positive experiences there with the trainers. As a disabled Marine Veteran with a bad back, I have spent the better part of my post-military life trying to find an exercise program that works. After meeting with Marcus, I realized I was onto something that could work for me. After just a few sessions I noticed that my back didn’t “go out” any more so I decided to stick with it and see just how long this would work.
It’s been 18 months now and my back occasionally “going out” is a thing of the past. My wife and I both work out together since there is a plan that allows us to share a personal trainer and that has been a huge benefit. We have trained with Marcus, Laura, and most recently Lane and each trainer has their unique “twist” that accomplishes our personal goals, but each in a slightly different manner.
Lane is the newest trainer at Milagros and is doing the job just fine of kicking our butts to ensure our core continues to strengthen along with including a whole body workout. My wife and I both work out two to three times a week and the trainers do their best to accommodate our work schedules.
There are a multitude of free weights and cable systems, as well as exercise bikes and elliptical machines, and much more. Marcus takes pride in keeping the facility clean and tidy, and we even on occasion bring our puppy “Mike” since Milagros is dog friendly. You can’t say you can do that at many other workout centers.
The facility is located off Cedros in Solana Beach so getting a post workout bite to eat and a coffee is just a few steps away. Parking has never been a problem and the ocean breeze that whips through the facility is a welcome addition that seems to cool you off when you need it the most.
I highly recommend Milagros for anyone looking for a personal trainer that is not just a cookie cutter trainer like some of the other larger corporate workout facilities.

I come down to Del Mar for the summer racing meet. I am a professional Jockey that needs to maintain a certain fitness up keep. Milagros did just that! Marcus is a great personal trainer who pushes you past your limits and helps motivate you to do better! I would highly recommend this gym to anyone who would like to see results fast!

I cant say enough great things about this gym. Its everything i could want and i wish i could clone this to be in every city i am in always. The gym is clean and has all top equipment. There is plenty of space and never crowded. All the trainers really know what they are doing and understand more than just lifting but about injuries and the body and movement. James is my personal trainer here and he is the best trainer ive ever had, understands my sciatica injury and ways around it to build muscle. Love this place!

I'm not a customer of Milagros, but I'm compelled to write a five-star review. My wife has been going to Milagros for the last several months. She turned 50 this year, and due to her experience at Milagros she is in the best shape of her life! She has always been fit, through running, cycling and other aerobic activities. But, she was never really happy with the results of her efforts. She always hated the gym, and really tried to avoid it. Given the big birthday she decided to give personal training a try. She definitely had some failed first attempts. But, she finally found the right trainer and facility when she chose Milagros. Her trainer worked with her on specific goals, and she has exceeded all of them. He took the time to really understand what she wanted and crafted a program that delivers. She works hard, but loves going. Anytime someone becomes fitter, stronger, more flexible, more energetic and happier, the partner is bound to reap the benefits! Thanks to the great folks at Milagros Personal Training Center!

Milagros is the place! My fitness goal was to lose weight, which started 10 years ago! I tried everything from going to a public gym, trying group fitness classes and even joining a walking club. Nothing worked, so my wife got me a gift certificate to start with my trainer James at Milagros…
It’s been 2 years and I’ve lost 27 pounds! I’m 57, and I now weigh the same as I did when I was 30, and my body has muscle tone. James holds me accountable to my 3 days a week, and he has me on a food plan that works! All the trainers at Milagros are really encouraging, and you can tell the owner takes pride in the facility, since it’s always immaculate!
If you’re looking for real professional trainers that know how to achieve your fitness goals, Milagros is the place!

I’ve been a client of Milagros since 2018. The consistent upbeat, friendly atmosphere together with trainers that are focused, knowledgeable and professional is unmatched. The results I have achieved in comparison to other personal trainers that I’ve worked out with is beyond compare. I have complete trust in how Marcus works with me to gain the optimal strength my body can achieve. Milagros has changed my life and view of what is possible for me. Highly recommended!

I’ve been working out at Milagros since 2015 and it has changed my life! The trainers are all well educated, accredited, and very professional. I love that there’s no initiation or membership fees. You get discounted rates when you buy a package and they are fairly priced. I also come in the morning before work and love their shower facility. It’s so clean!
