Thank you for visiting Kaizen Athletic Performance, elite personal training for the General and Athletic populations across West Los Angeles. Whether you are searching for a personal trainer in Santa Monica, a personal trainer in Brentwood, or a personal trainer in Culver City, you can train like an athlete to look and feel like an athlete. This population has to be incredibly resilient to reduce their risk of injury; at Kaizen, we believe the average personal training client should be just as resilient playing with their children, putting heavy luggage in their upright bin and carrying their groceries from the car to the fridge. We work with back pain management, youth athlete training, women’s training, all aspects of health & fitness and athletic performance. Inspired by fascia training, strength and conditioning, the Conjugate Method and holistic health and fitness, every plan is designed and coached with precision.

Mission Statement
At Kaizen Athletic Performance, we believe in helping to instill values and confidence in our family of clientele, so that they can live life to the fullest; whether this be through sports, playing with their children, staying strong with age or by excelling in business and life. From youth athlete training to adult back pain management, our coaching approach is built on long-term athletic development, sports injury prevention and sustainable results. By helping others accomplish their goals, feel success in their life, and promote a lifelong passion for health, we create better lives in the process.
Personalized Programs
We offer athletic performance training, sports injury prevention, injury recovery, strength training, muscle building, fat loss, cardiovascular performance, olympic lifting, power lifting and bodybuilding. When a professional athlete comes to me with only 3 months to prepare for the next season, it is vital that we can expedite their results through all of these means, using the same systems we apply to our general population clients who want the benefits of a professional strength and conditioning coach.

Core training tool, the Ab Enforcer, helps to expedite abdominal training and stability 300-500% more efficiently than side-planks; studied in a laboratory setting, used in professional and collegiate sports, preparing for the Olympics and even used in the Olympic Village as part of advanced back pain management and trunk stability programs.Back pain management
Coach Ted and Kaizen Athletic Performance have partnered with athlete training expert Coach Lee Brandon and premier leader in spine health research, back pain management specialist Dr. Stuart McGill, to offer unrivaled and advanced spine health and pain management services in Southern California. These programs integrate evidence-based strength training, core stability work and sports injury prevention strategies tailored to both athletes and non-athletes.
Coach Ted offers both individual and semi-private (up to 3 trainees simultaneously) training options. Semi-private training has its advantages; when training in groups, athletes tend to push themselves harder and thus obtain better results, whether they are focused on athletic performance training, back pain management or overall health.

Kaizen Principle
It is easy to develop power, speed and strength, but which should be trained first, last and together? It is important to ensure that you are getting the most out of your training and setting yourself up for future success through continuous improvement, instead of immediate, but minimal increases in performance. This principle guides every youth athlete training program, every back pain management protocol and every phase of athletic performance training.
Proven Testing Protocols
Sports such as volleyball and soccer expose athletes to an incredible amount of shoulder and knee stress. At Kaizen Athletic Performance, we assess each athlete individually through proven methods passed on by some of the world’s most accomplished strength coaches. These assessments help to guide training for each individual, in order to help prevent hamstring and groin pulls, increase sport specific strength and power production and alleviate or prevent future injuries. This same attention to detail is applied when working as a personal trainer Santa Monica, personal trainer Brentwood or personal trainer Culver City, ensuring that every client benefits from world-class strength and conditioning coaching and sports injury prevention strategies. Coach Ted has invested 10’s of thousands of dollars in continuing education to provide the most up to date, safe and advanced training protocols for all populations.
Preventative and Rehabilitative Training Protocols
Females are greater than 8 times more likely to injure an ACL than males and these account for more season-ending injuries than any other for this population. Proper training protocols have been proven to significantly reduce the likelihood of knee, shoulder and ankle injuries in both female and male populations. Our preventative and rehabilitative systems blend athletic performance training with targeted sports injury prevention, making Kaizen Athletic Performance a trusted resource for youth athletes, competitive professionals and motivated adults alike.
