Face Your Fears Athletics - GYM

Experiencia fantástica: Coach Chris pushes the kids hard but in an incredibly motivating and positive way. The workouts are intense and varied, focusing on age-appropriate strength, speed, and agility drills that translate directly to the court. The coaches genuinely care about the kids and build their self-belief. My son has seen significant gains in his strength and stamina, is more confident as a person and a player. This training has without a doubt taken his athleticism to the next level. I highly recommend them to any parent looking to give their child a competitive edge!"

Experiencia fantástica: Coach Ben is amazing. The facility itself is clean and well maintained. I recommend Coach Ben and Face Your Fears. Thank you Coach!

Experiencia fantástica: Both my son and daughter have been going to face your fears for about 3 months and they love the coaches. They train them to do what helps build their muscles for baseball/football and softball. Great communication and love the atmosphere

Experiencia fantástica: Great youth gym! The coaches are patient, encouraging, and really know how to motivate the kids. The facility is clean, safe, and well-organized. Highly recommend!

Experiencia fantástica: Great programming to get your heart rate up! Very clean facilities and a friendly environment. The workouts are well-structured and motivating, making it easy to stay consistent and see progress.

Experiencia fantástica: We are so excited to find Face Your Fears Athletics Gym for our son. Couch Ben and his crew have been amazing with his progress. We highly recommend them! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Experiencia fantástica: All the trainers are personable and invested in the members' well being. The atmosphere is positive and inviting. The functional fitness classes are awesome, especially since they can be modified to match an individuals current fitness level. Fun and challenging.

Experiencia fantástica: I’ve been a member of FYF for several years now, and I truly appreciate the care the coaches put into the programming and the warm, welcoming, nonjudgmental atmosphere they’ve created. The friendships I’ve made here are just as valuable as the workouts. Each session is challenging but designed with safety in mind, and there are always modifications available if a movement isn’t accessible. The gym itself is consistently clean, well-organized, and spacious enough to ensure that even in larger classes, everyone can get a great workout.

Experiencia fantástica: Great program to take your athlete to the next level.

Experiencia fantástica: Great classes for kids that play sports! All the coaches are knowledgeable and make the classes fun and encouraging for the kids.

Experiencia fantástica: My son is part of Face Your Fears in Youth Athlete Training. This gym is amazing! Coach Ben is the best. I highly recommend.

Experiencia fantástica: I'm thrilled to highly recommend facing your fears and working out with Coach Ben! I feel incredibly lucky to have found this gym in Santa Clarita. The workouts are fantastic, and the results speak for themselves - I've lost 10 pounds in 6 weeks and gained significant strength. The coaches are all top-notch, providing personalized attention to help you achieve your goals. I've not only reached my goals but also gained confidence in myself. Coach Ben is exceptional; he's flexible with membership needs, supportive of health goals, and has incredible skills. Five stars isn't enough - I'd give it ten stars if I could! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Experiencia fantástica: I’ve been training at Face Your Fears Athletics for the past 2 months, and it’s genuinely been the best experience of my fitness journey. I’ve been doing 1-on-1 private sessions with Ben (and occasionally Luz), and they’ve both been incredible to work with. From day one, Ben took the time to understand where I was starting from—physically and personally. Every session is not only challenging but super informative. I’ve learned so much about my body, strength, and what it takes to grow. On top of that, Ben brings a level of care and humility that makes the space feel welcoming and motivating. In just a short time, I’ve dropped a shirt and pant size, built real confidence, and feel stronger than ever. If you’re even thinking about working with them—do it. It’s 100% worth it.

Experiencia fantástica: We’ve had a fantastic experience with Face Your Fears Athletics this summer! My son started with a couple of private sessions focused on jumping, and we saw immediate results thanks to their expert guidance. He’s now loving the advanced athletics classes, they’re challenging, engaging, and have already helped him build noticeable strength and agility. Highly recommend!

Experiencia fantástica: Coach Ben helped jump start my weight training

Experiencia fantástica: They were very supportive and knowledgeable training our 13 football players. I would continue recommend them to anyone wanting to train.

Experiencia fantástica: My son wanted a 40” vertical for volleyball. He absolutely loved working out with Ben and looked forward to each workout. In over a year, he went from around 32” to 40”. Now he is off to UC Santa Cruz to become a Banana Slug! Thanks Ben!!

Experiencia fantástica: Great speed and strength training for my son. Prepping him for upcoming football season. Great instructors, very knowledgeable and motivating!!

Experiencia fantástica: I was looking for a place I could take my young daughter for off field training. Specifically, developing speed, power and agility. I am very pleased that we have found FYF athletics. From the start, Ben has always been professional, kind and available for questions and input. He is very knowledgeable in various facets of physical training and recovery; when someone loves their craft, it shows. My daughter loves going to the youth workout sessions and there has certainly been a noticeable improvement in her performance on the pitch and her confidence and mental game has risen! Thank you, FYF athletics!

Experiencia fantástica: Face your fears has been a gigantic blessing to our son Cayden. We haven’t been members long but in the short time that we have been Cayden has shown improvement in his conditioning, balance, coordination and strength we couldn’t be happier to be apart of the training program.

Experiencia fantástica: Great place! My son goes for strength and agility training and it’s made a big difference in his athleticism.

Experiencia fantástica: Love it here. My 10 year old and 7 year love both coaches. They’ve even said they’ve seen and felt gains since starting.

Experiencia fantástica: My 10 year old son has been taking the youth fitness classes for the last few months and absolutely loves it! It’s not easy, but it’s challenging enough that he is working hard, exercising, and building strength and endurance, all while still having fun. I never have to make him go or talk him into it. Every week he’s excited to go to class and the coaches are great! I love that these skills will benefit him now while he’s active and playing sports, but he’s also building a solid foundation of knowledge and love for fitness. Thank you , FYF!

Experiencia fantástica: Update: This year I sustained a shoulder injury (no fault of the gym what so ever), and have gained a whole new appreciation for FYF and the coaches because of it. This injury limits my range of motion significantly, yet Ben, and the other coaches always have modifications for me when ever I need them. (Sometimes going to the lengths of almost writing an entire program just so that I can continue working on my fitness) Ben and the other coaches have gone above and beyond to help me heal, and I will never forget it. I have received better care and guidance than I did in the many months I went to physical therapy. Ben has even worked with me privately in an effort to help. This place is special. You will not just be another body working out in this gym. Your presence will be valued, and you won't be ignored. You will be coached as an individual. Pushed when you need to be pushed, and understood and guided when you're not at your best. 6 years at FYF and counting! I've always thought that if FYF had a theme song, it would be the theme song from CHEERS (Yes, I'm old...also very cheesy, and admittedly, I don't know the whole song, but it goes something like this... SOMETIMES YOU WANT TO GO Where everybody knows your name And they're always glad you came You want to be where you can see Our troubles are all the same (Burpees) You want to be where everybody knows your name... I know, I know... you're like, Tina, that's the sappiest thing I've ever heard, but it's absolutely true! People at this gym are different. They will learn your name, and they will miss you when you're gone. They will also become your family, as they have become mine.... But it's NOT just about the great people. It's the coaches, the training, the cleanliness of the gym, and the fact that in 3.5 years I haven't become bored. Ben makes sure of it. Switching up programming, investing in new equipment, and dreaming up movements we sometimes complain about, but that ALWAYS get us results.... Now for the really sappy part (If you got this far, go get yourself a cookie) FYF has absolutely changed my life. When I first started at this gym I was terrified. Actually, my first email to Ben, the owner and head trainer, went something like this: Hi, I'm a plus sized woman who hasn't worked out in a very long time... I was literally trying to talk myself out of it as I typed. I never in a million years thought I could actually do it, and wanted to give him EVERY excuse to tell me that it probably wasn't the gym for me. But he didn't. Ben CALLED me the next day. He told me I would be fine, he said that he would meet me where I was at, and every day since then, he has done exactly that. In the beginning there were many things that I couldn't do, but Ben found the perfect modification that not only challenged me, but also left me feeling accomplished. Month after month, I improved, and soon, that thing I couldn't do a week before, I did. Then the next month, I could do it even better. Through Ben's programing, and the coaches who constantly encourage me, I'm literally in the best shape of my life. I've lost over 100 lbs, and can lift more weight than I ever thought possible. No matter what your fitness level, If you're looking for a place to sweat with some truly amazing people, give FYF a try. I promise you won't regret it.

Experiencia fantástica: FYF Athletics delivers on every front: expert coaches, supportive community & challenging workouts. Five stars, no question!

Experiencia fantástica: I've been with Face Your Fears for well over 6 years now. I'd tried gym after gym, and even tried a couple of personal trainers. Nothing stuck, nothing kept me challenged or engaged, and worst of all, nothing produced the physical change (weight and strength) that I was after. Since joining, I've lost well over 50 lbs, and managed to keep it off and I'm stronger than I've ever been. If you struggle with consistency, programming, or are just fed up with the prototypical gym atmosphere, this place is probably just the change of pace you need too.

Experiencia fantástica: Tuesdays and Thursdays youth training classes are fantastic! Ben and his team are great at motivating and challenging young athletes to get to the next level in their individual sports. Thanks Ben!

Experiencia fantástica: The gym is very well kept. The group classes are perfect for those seeking to improve/increase their strength and conditioning. Coaches are well-experienced and the gym has a very friendly environment.

Experiencia fantástica: Can't recommend this gym enough, if your looking to join a community that will support and inspire you in your fitness journey, this is the place to be. The coaches push you, but also know when to provide support and motivation. Regardless of where you are in your fitness journey, Face Your Fears makes you feel like you belong. It's more than just a gym to me, it's a place where I've grown and continue to do so.

Experiencia fantástica: I have been going to FYF for nearly 10 years. The owner, Ben, is an amazing coach and does all the programming. I HIGHLY recommend them to anyone! Ben and his trainers are able to customize any workout for any person no matter where you are in your fitness journey. The community is amazing and full of great people who will make you feel welcome and will quickly become partners for you as you progress. DEFINITELY check them out!!

Experiencia fantástica: I never thought I would like instructor led training, but I was wrong. The work outs are well thought out, fun and not repetitive. Ben always has a plan for what we are working on. The gym is clean and the people are friendly. I am in better shape now than I have ever been in my life.

Experiencia fantástica: We absolutely love our gym! We couldn’t find a better place for staying active and healthy together as a family. The gym offers a wide variety of equipment and classes that are suitable for all ages and fitness levels, making it easy for everyone in our family( suitable for my 13 year old kid too) to find something that we all enjoy. One of the things we appreciate most about this gym is the friendly and welcoming atmosphere. Ben, the owner is always so helpful and encouraging, and the other members are respectful and kind. It truly feels like a supportive community that we are proud to be a part of. Overall, we are extremely satisfied with our experience at this family-friendly gym. It has become a staple in our weekly routine, and we look forward to our visits every time. We highly recommend this gym to any families looking for a fun and inclusive place to stay active together.

Experiencia fantástica: Love FYF! It’s a welcoming and nonjudgmental environment, and my favorite way to start the day!

Experiencia fantástica: I love coming to this gym. Coaches and members are all very friendly and professional. The atmosphere in each class is welcoming and fun! And the gym is very clean and well taken cared of.

Experiencia fantástica: Love their youth programs. Our daughter has learned so much from them and continues to build her strength and confidence.

Experiencia fantástica: I’m 68 years, also I’m the trumpet player for the Grammy Award winning band “Earth Wind & Fire”. I’m ask over and over, what are you doing to look so fit? I tell them about my Gym, Face Your Fears Athletics, I’ve been a member for 10 years plus, hands down, the best place to get your fitness in high gear! Come on over and find out for your self! Bobby Burns Jr.

Experiencia fantástica: This is such an awesome gym! I feel faster and stronger with the help of Ben and the rest of his team I learn something new every day and love starting the day at FYF!

Experiencia fantástica: I have been a member of Face Your Fears Athletics for over 10 years and it’s by far the best gym experience you could possibly ask for. Top notch training, friendly people and a fun and challenging environment. Come and give us a try. You won’t be disappointed!

Experiencia fantástica: What can I say! I’ve been under Ben’s coaching prior to him opening this gym and have remained a member since. He is extremely knowledgeable and a great coach and instructor. I came to him with lower back issues and through his training, I have increased my core strength, avoiding surgery in the process. My body strength has increased immensely, without the injuries associated with CF workouts. I highly recommend Face Your Fears Athletics!

Experiencia fantástica: Amazing facility to enhance your little athlete to the next level. Ben is incredibly skilled with working with children. I wish I found this place sooner!

Experiencia fantástica: W gym

Experiencia fantástica: Very positive and motivated atmosphere Very family oriented vibe Very Clean gym Awesome Staff Very comfortable workout vibe

Experiencia fantástica: I became a member of this gym about 5 years ago and it’s been the best decision I’ve ever made. I like to call it a “boutique gym” where every session feels like a private training. This became especially notable after my ACL surgery and the coaches helped me back to full recovery, guiding me through modified moves. I love our gym community - great coaches, special friends, and never the same routine twice, always challenging and always fun!

Experiencia fantástica: Great group of trainers who care and helped modify routines based on ability or when I had injuries. Balanced workouts to build overall strength and fitness. Has had a tremendous impact on all aspects of my health. Thanks to Ben and the rest of the group at FYF.

Experiencia fantástica: Face Your Fears has extremely motivational instructors that care about each individual member and their progress. I have no clue where I would be in my swimming career without Ben, Slade, Jacob, or Michael. Before I started at FYF I was a scrawny little kid who didn’t even know what a kettle bell was. Now after being a member for almost 2 years I am glad to say that I am the strongest I’ve ever been and have seen tremendous growth in the pool and my overall fitness. I would highly recommend this gym to people who are serious about their fitness plan and also to those like me who don’t know exactly what they’re doing. Trust in these instructors because they will work their hardest to get you to where you want to be.

Experiencia fantástica: Both of my daughters have been attending training at face your fears with Ben. I really appreciate the care that Ben puts into each kid at every training. I have noticed a difference in their spread and overall performance. Ben showed us exercises they can do to help with both performance and injury prevention. Thank you to Ben for having these classes for kids. I highly recommend Ben and Face Your Fears to improve performance and decrease injuries for your young athlete.

Experiencia fantástica: Great gym to complement my kids’ swim practices! They are very careful with the young athletes and Ben knows the kids and answers specific concerns about them.

Experiencia fantástica: FYF has been phenomenal for my teen athlete. Ben and his instructors are very knowledgeable when it comes to strength training and endurance in athletes. I highly recommend FYF.

Experiencia fantástica: Great gym. Small class sizes. Non judgemental. Extremely helpful. Never bored with the workouts.

Experiencia fantástica: Best gym in SCV by far, comfortable environment. Great trainers, great gym. Highly recommend.

Experiencia fantástica: Highly professional !!!

Experiencia fantástica: FYF Athletics is a great place to workout no matter what your level of fitness is. It's a true gym family. The members and coaches are all friendly and supportive, and the owner/head coach Ben Delatorre is knowledgeable on every aspect of physical fitness including incorporating the proper diet into your daily routine. If you're looking to make a change in your life, FYF is a great place to start.

Experiencia fantástica: Ben, Slade, and Jacob have made this gym my new home for gains. My range of motion, strength, and endurance have gone past what I thought was capable. The community that FYF has built is unlike any other gym. There’s no cliques, no drama, and no egos, just a bunch of bada**** who like to work hard and lift heavy s***. Whenever your next to another member you’re driven to give your best. Ben has set the standard on how to run a gym, and his programming is nothing short of brilliant. All the available class times serve a variety of peoples’ work schedules.

Experiencia fantástica: This is the BEST GYM. Period. I recently moved to Valencia and felt myself so lucky to find Ben's gym so I can stop my gym hunting journey. Seriously, Ben and his team are so professional, helpful and kind. I've been trained with a few trainers in the past so I'm pretty confident to say Ben and his team is the best. They REALLY care for every one! The workouts are so knowledgable, organized, tailored to everyone, every level, being challenging but super fun at the same time. You will never get bored in working out here and you will definitely build strength too. I used to workout at home for more than a year by following all Youtubers and I'm so bored in the end and can't stay motivated. I'm always so impressed by how many variations Ben and his team can bring to the group. The best part is one gym can satisfy all of my workout needs. Bonus point: every one in the gym is so warm hearted, kind and motivated. Besides that, I've got tons of helpful suggestions post workout on how to stretch, how to relieve trigger points, etc. Ben can always easily find out any discomfort I'm having (even ones from work) and guide me. I really appreciate the efforts Ben / Slade / Jacob has put into building such an amazing community in Valencia area and would recommend it to every one from all fitness level.

Experiencia fantástica: I decided to try out this gym while I still had memberships at two other gyms. A few classes later, I cancelled my membership with the other places and found a home with an unlimited membership 9-month contract at FYF. Within the first month, I just knew that I could make this commitment to this gym as my overall experience with FYF was so great! I found knowledgeable and helpful trainers, varied, fun but challenging for all-level classes, to the welcoming and friendly members. Fast forward to two years later, I am still a happy and satisfied member at FYF but healthier and stronger with what I can proudly call my gym family. I’ve had other trainers in the past, but Ben is truly the best. He is instrumental in helping me reach my health & fitness goals. I highly recommend Face Your Fears Athletics if you are looking an amazing gym community!

Experiencia fantástica: I have been with Ben since 2012. He is a great trainer and has a great training program. I have had 2 ACL replacements and he is amazing, working to help me get my strength and range of motion back. Ben is also highly knowledgeable in the area of nutrition, which is what I needed help with. I love to work out, but I also love to eat and Ben has helped me get my nutrition back on track. The gym has a great group of people and is fairly diverse, so if you are looking a gym to call home, come try this place out.

Experiencia fantástica: Have been going to FYF for over five years. Great gym, awesome community and Ben is the best trainer you can ever ask for.

Experiencia fantástica: I have been coming to Face Your Fears for 2.5 years, and it's the very best gym I have ever been to. I had no prior experience with lifting weights, so I started very light. The classes are quick and fun while being challenging. A few times I felt very sore and the head trainer Ben noticed it right away and gave me great stretches/modifications to do so that I don't injure myself. Ben is so supportive of his members, and really makes us feel wanted and appreciated. I hope that if you are in the Santa Clarita Valley, you give this gym a visit. Most of the members have been there for many years and that really speaks to how fantastic this gym is.

Experiencia fantástica: The best gyms I have been to. The owner Ben is a well educated trainer in fitness and nutrition. His gym is always updating with new programs and fitness equipment that makes you want to come back again and again. Ben is very easy to talk to and wanting to help you with your fitness goals and needs. The members of this gym are very welcoming and treat you like family from day one. Everyone has lots of positive energy here. If you’re looking for a gym that has great workouts, helps you accomplish your goals and you can make friends in the process this is the gym for you!

Experiencia fantástica: here for a short Visit, Ben is an amazing trainer!, and gym always clean and neat!. Ben always teach you proper posture while working-out. in my case i have couple of injuries so cant keep on track with same workout, he make me do other workouts while training with group. been a week now i can feel differences with my posture and body. am shredding fast due proper training knowledge and monitoring.

Experiencia fantástica: great programming, great people!

Experiencia fantástica: It's a great place to challenge yourself every day. The community of people is a blast and I'd highly recommend trying this place out.

Experiencia fantástica: I've been attending Face Year Fears for about 7 months now and could not be happier. I've always worked out but ever since I had my daughter almost three years ago, it has been difficult for me to find a program that not only keeps me motivated, but has helped me change my body back to my pre-pregnancy weight. I was previously at another popular gym in the area, but my husband had been coming to FYF for over 2 years and wanted me to join with him. I saw in FYF what my other gym was lacking and decided to make the move when my contract was up. Since I joined back in October, I've lost between 20-25 pounds, dramatically changed my body composition and have gained strength. I am performing better and looking better than I did pre-pregnancy, and I get to have fun while doing it. Ben is a great trainer and puts his heart and soul into his gym. He personally crafts each work out, and plans out training cycles months in advance. I love this because it assures me that everything we're doing has a rhyme and reason, and there is a purpose to each workout beyond just being there for may daily dose of exercise. I get all the support I need from Ben in terms of attention during class and nutritional guidance. Additionally, I have found the community to be the best of the best. I personally have never been treated anything but kindly by the other members and I am happy to consider them my friends. It's so great having a group of supportive people to work out with, and I love that we are there to help cheer each other on. If you are considering changing gyms or your workout routine, come give this one a chance. You won't regret it!

Experiencia negativa: This review two years ago would have been different. 2 years ago I walked into this gym with a positive attitude and thought to myself, "man I'm lucky to have such an amazing trainer and a beautiful group of people to call family," if you will. But as time pressed on I began to witness some crazy things. The gym membership began to decline. In a matter of 6 months to a year I watched individuals that were dedicated to this gym and that believed in its mission begin to give up and leave (40 to 50 members). I constantly wondered, why is this happening? What is going on? When confronting Ben, the owner and head trainer, the excuse was always the same. They are leaving because it's something they did or its something they said, or its something they didn't agree with. I bought into it. The gym painted these individuals as mean spirited people. I never questioned it. Until..it began to happen to me. I am a very nice guy. I don't like to toot my own horn but when you are my friend I back you a 150%, no matter what. And that's what I began to do for this place. I became very good friends with the head trainer and his girlfriend. Double dating and enjoying each others company. I bought into the gym's mission. And then it happened. I began to be treated differently. I began to feel uncomfortable. I was disrespected. I was talked down to. I was no longer happy. When I learned of the reason why, I was even more astonished. Some people that go to a gym do it to fill a void in their lives. Some do it to feel better about themselves because they come from a hard home life. One of the members came from a hard home life, so I did everything in my power to help them and be there for them. Well the head trainer and girlfriend didn't like that. They didn't like that, because it is something they don't understand and they choose to give the boot to anyone that they don't understand. So their attitude is what caused me to leave and never want to return. If you are looking for a gym that accepts you for you and tries to make you a Better you then this is not the place to be. If you are looking for fun, positive energy, and a gym that is not full of high school drama and pettiness, then this is not the gym for you. If you are looking for a gym that has more members that stay than members that leave,then again this is not the gym for you. If you are looking for worrying on a day to day basis if you fit into the clique or the mold of what the head trainer believes to be, "the ideal gym member, "or enjoy the pettiness of high school then this is the place to be. Make sure you are open and aware when you are here. Be ready for the head trainer to be constantly on the phone, not interested in the class. Be ready for the atmosphere to be open and welcoming, but shift as the months press on. This review may sound bitter, but remember this...I believed in this gym for over 2 years and supported the gym in any way I could. So that has to account for some credibility.

Experiencia fantástica: Love this place! Great trainer and great people. You are not just another number here, like you are at a typical gym. Here they take the time to get to know, not only your name, but what you're about and what you want to achieve. It's unlike anything I've done before and I can't imagine ever going anywhere else.
