Meet Lloyd Sarte, Your DTLA Personal Trainer

I’m Lloyd Sarte, a NASM-certified personal trainer with 18 years of experience and a bachelor’s degree in Kinesiology, with a focus on Rehabilitation and Therapeutic Exercise.

I help adults 40 and over build strength, improve mobility, and develop consistent exercise habits. My approach combines strength training, corrective exercise, and clear instruction, with exercises adjusted to your starting point.

I’m also a National Board Certified Teacher who teaches Sports Medicine and Medical Terminology. Helping people understand movement is central to how I teach and train.

Train with me at a private studio in Downtown Los Angeles, or ask about in-home training in select Los Angeles locations.

 

Who I Help

Build Strength. Move Better. Train With Confidence.

I help adults 40+ build strength, improve mobility, and develop better movement habits through personalized strength training and corrective exercise. Every workout is designed around your goals, abilities, and starting point.

My approach is a good fit if you:

• Want to build muscle, improve fitness, or work toward fat-loss goals.
• Are looking for corrective exercises to address movement imbalances and improve control.
• Want to prioritize injury prevention through proper technique, progressive strengthening, and better stability.
• Feel stiff or limited in your movement and want to improve mobility and flexibility.
• Need exercises modified around past injuries or physical limitations.
• Are new to strength training or returning after time away.
• Want to stay strong, capable, and active through your 50s, 60s, and beyond.

You don’t need to be fit or flexible to get started. We’ll begin where you are and build a foundation for stronger, more confident movement—in the gym and in everyday life.

What Clients Are Saying

I met Lloyd Sarte almost three years ago. I was diagnosed with hyperlipidemia and I had three surgeries. My doctor had advised me to exercise but when I did it I ended up injuring myself. That’s why I decided to look for professional help and hired Mr. Sarte. He understood my case and designed a workout routine just for me. That decision changed my life for good. Now I’m a very healthy person and I feel happier than ever. Lloyd Sarte is a very kind, patient, punctual, trustworthy, friendly, respectful and optimistic person. He loves his profession and he is committed to it.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

  • "Training with Lloyd is the best decision I’ve made for my health! He is incredibly knowledgeable, always tailoring each session to fit my needs. He knows how to push me just enough to grow. Every session feels different and purposeful. It was challenging but totally worth it. I’ve gained confidence and consistency in my workouts thanks to him. If you’re looking for someone who truly cares about your progress and knows how to get you there, I can’t recommend Lloyd enough!"

    Rinko Y.

    ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

  • “Lloyd is a phenomenal personal trainer. He studies your physical abilities and tailors a custom workout regime to not only suit your needs, but to reach your workout goals. He is sensitive to your skill level and varies your daily workout to keep you interested and motivated in your path to physical fitness.”

    Guillermo F.

    ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

  • "Lloyd is the trainer you wish you had hired years ago. I am in my 60's, a bit overweight, and more than a bit of a klutz. Never played sports in my life. But none of those things matter In the time spent with this incredible trainer. Lloyd knows when to praise and when to push. His instructions are clear, his hand steady and reassuring, and his patience seemingly infinite. I don't know for sure, but my sense is that trainers like Lloyd are rare. Five + stars."

    Richard N.

    ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

  • "Lloyd is the best trainer I’ve ever had by far! He is extremely knowledgeable not only about strength building but sports medicine in general. Because of this expertise he is able to tailor sessions and a workout regimen appropriate for clients of all levels and abilities. He’s also a really great motivator and pushes you to meet your goals while being incredibly pleasant. I could not more strongly recommend him!"

    Heather C.

    ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

  • “Lloyd is an amazing personal trainer! He brings such motivating energy and a great sense of humor to every session, making workouts something to look forward to. The best part was doing fun outdoor workouts at the park, which added a fresh and exciting twist to the usual routine. Lloyd is incredibly attuned to individual needs and tailors each session to your goals, helping you progress at the right pace. Highly recommend for anyone looking to get fit while enjoying the process!”

    Andri T.

    ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

  • “Lloyd is hands down THE BEST personal trainer that I’ve ever had (and I’ve had many). He’s extremely attentive and patient. Lloyd takes the time to hear out your concerns and will push you as far as it’s feasible. I never feel uncomfortable but he does encourage me to work harder. Additionally, Lloyd and I will talk about life and work through my personal/professional challenges so it’s like a combo session for the body and mind. I’ve definitely seen results working with Lloyd. It’s always a great day when I get to work out with him!”

    Anoulay T.

    ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

  • "Lloyd is a personal trainer who pushes me to improve and grow both physically and mentally with each session. We talk about how important it is to build strength in all aspects of life and he models this value as well through his own journey. He inspires in his consistency and care and willingly shares his knowledge. He has helped my form when completing a wide array of exercises, I now feel comfortable and confident at the gym, and I know that I will always feel stronger after a “Lloyd” workout. Also, he emphasizes stretching and rolling, which are important recovery elements and have improved my daily mobility and energy levels. Lloyd is an excellent trainer for both body and mind."

    Marisa C.

    ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

  • "I was Lloyd’s first personal training client. Lloyd demonstrated the essential qualities every client wants in a personal trainer: empathy, persistence, creativity, motivation, patience and honesty. He taught me how to optimize my physical performance and how to create and sustain a winning attitude. Those are lessons I continue to embrace to this day. I’ve been fortunate to watch Lloyd become a husband, father, teacher and entrepreneur. Lloyd fulfills those roles with the same passion, enthusiasm and gratitude today as he did at the start of his career. I remain inspired by Lloyd’s personal journey."

    Adam N.

    ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

  • "Lloyd is a great personal trainer!!!! He always catered to my needs and was really great in helping me modify my workout after I tore my rotator cuff. I built strength, am toned and am able to use my shoulder to its full capacity! He is also extremely punctual and reliable even coming to my house for workouts! Thanks Lloyd of helping me achieve my goals!!!"
