The Camp Transformation requires a few things when you sign the contract for the 6 Week 20lbs Challenge, such as: the upfront cost, commitment, nutrition plan, check-ins, changing your FB picture to the challenge and post a review. While it may seem a lot, but if you are determined, as I was and still am. The trainers and staff truly care about all challengers and members. They push you to the limits. I lost 7.1 the first week with healthy eating and intensive circuit exercising, by the 3rd week, I was in a lull. I continued to eat on the plan, exercise and do my own extra cardio. By the 5th week I was concerned U wouldn’t lose the 7 pounds to hit the goal. Helen, a staff member, put me on a strict nutrition eating plan to make it…..by Saturday, I weighed in and lost 20.2 pounds!!
The Camp was exactly what I needed to gear me into a healthier lifestyle. I have signed up for my first Spartan Race in December and will conquer that too! I’m incredibly thankful to The Camp and all staff, including members and challengers are a family. If you’re thinking it’s a scam, you’re dead wrong. They don’t advertise, we, the members and challengers are the advertisement!
I am often asked, “What made you start a Meal Prep Company??” With New Years Resolutions around the corner….I thought it’s time to share my story….cuz you too can change your tomorrow.
Sooo I was looking through pics from the past 10 years, and was debating on which ones to choose. 10 years ago VS now? Hmmmm…. I was going to go with all the cute “cookie cutter” ones of me smiling…but started to see a pattern in all of those as the years went on, and felt compelled to keep it very real and be very vulnerable with all of you in hopes I can touch just ONE person that is struggling, and let them know there is hope.
10 years ago I was freshly divorced after spending over a decade with someone. I was ready to bolt to a new chapter…a new life…so away I went! I packed my U-Haul and traveled around the world like a gypsy with absolutely zero care given. The character I built while I was a rebel without a cause is priceless….I would never change that, but the common denominator was my addictive personality. It didn’t matter what it was…uppers, downers, alcohol, Bulimia, NyQuil (yes-NyQuil) I mean, you name it, I abused it. I was out of touch with my emotions and addicted to anything that would cover up the pain that I kept hidden for so long. I lived that way for a very long time. My black outs were getting worse. My sister would have to video tape me while we were out cuz I couldn’t remember shit the next day. The stories get much worse as my compulsive/destructive behavior was at its peak. Anyways…my 20’s flew by living that hard life…and that bar life took over my soul.
It was my 30th…and I was TIRED of being sick and tired. I was ready to face the underlying issues that I tried so desperately to cover up. I was Ready to change. So away I went! I entered myself into detox then to a treatment center for 42 days. There I learned one thing…I was NOT alone. I was surrounded by all walks of life struggling with addiction. Doctors, nurses, lawyers, bartenders, or people that were just court ordered. Some wanting the change, others being forced. But me? I wanted the change. I was in it to win it. 42 days later…I was ready to live a life without goggles for the first time since the age of 12.
Shortly after, I signed up for my first weight loss challenge with The Camp Transformation Center and my world was forever changed. I realized I could over come ANY obstacle. At that point I accepted the lord back into my life and dove head first into making myself a better person. Before I always told myself …”you’ll never make it” “you don’t know shit about business” “you’re too old now to pursue your passions” all those thoughts we tell ourselves because we are too scared to get out of our comfort zone…we are scared of failure. All those thoughts are bullshit. Self sabotage at its finest. I lived that way for a very long time and I refused to be my worst enemy any longer. After successfully completing my first challenge, I found my strength/focus, and at that time, “Meal Prep By LJ” was born. I was ready to put all that creativity and positive energy towards something that could not only improve my life, but help others along the way.
Am I “cured” u ask? Hell no…I will forever be on the road of recovery because addiction is an illness, but I have learned all the coping skills I need to tackle each and every day with a positive outlook, and take one day at a time.
It’s never too late to change. You too CAN change your tomorrow. So 10 years ago VS Now? ya…I’d say I’m winning!

just completed my 1st challenge and lost a whopping 24 pounds in 6 weeks! This is the same 24 pounds I have been trying to lose for 10 years with diet pills, starvation diets and every crazy tactic out there. But losing the weight simply came down to clean eating and exercising. I am not only thinner, but I am stronger. My body is toned and I no longer have excruciating back pain so I can skip having that disc replacement surgery!
The gym attracts a great group of people who all are there for the same purpose. Everyone encourages each other to stay positive on their weight loss journey. What’s I really like is how the trainers do all the thinking for you. You don’t have to figure out what exercises your going to do and it’s never redundant. All you need to do is get your self to the gym 5 times a week and push yourself for 50 minutes to get a great work out in. The workouts are exhausting and the food is not exciting but it’s the best food for our bodies put on this earth. I feel great with more energy and ironically sleep better than ever.
Best of all, I like what I see in the mirror. I want to see how else my body can transform in such a short amount of time, so I have signed up t do another challenge in January!!
The Camp Transformation Center is the place to be if you really want a serious change in life and health for better. This is an amazing place to get real results, melt your lbs down, change your life for good, kill bad habits, build strength and find true people with the same objective as you and also make friends why not.
The staff and trainers are awesome and their one and main objective is to gelp you reach your goal. You can always reach out to them for any questions you may have as well as everyone involved. If you really want a change in your life this is the place all you got to do is take the 1st step into changing your life, listen to what they tell you, work your buns off and hard everything they say it’s gonna happen will happen because they truly care for you and are committed to help you at all times.
I just finished my 1st challenge lost a bunch of inches and melted 26.7 lbs in 6 weeks and I feel so happy because all the hard work really paid off now I’m ready for my 2nd challenge and ready to loose more lbs and inches and gain more health & strength beleive me this really works and in a very magical way so if your interested open your eyes, ears and heart and start your transformation now I’m ready to see where my 2nd journey takes me I’m loving it!!!
* Results may vary from person to person
If you’re looking for a place that will keep you accountable, motivate you, and help you achieve real results, this is it. Joining The Camp Transformation Center has honestly been one of the best decisions I’ve made for my health and fitness. Shoutout to Ashley!!

I just completed the 6-week challenge and I’m so proud of the results! It was definitely challenging, but not impossible. The coaches gave me the structure, accountability, and encouragement I needed. The entire community is super welcoming! The workouts are fast and short (50min) which I love. It’s something different everytime and the music is always on point. I followed their diet and workout plan, and it worked. Over the 6 weeks, I lost over 5 lbs, cut my body fat by more than 7%, and gained 4lbs of muscle at the same time. The program wasn’t easy, but it showed me what I’m capable of when I stay consistent with training and nutrition.
deborah manzo Sep 9, 2025
The workouts & the community is amazing. I have consistently attended for the past year & I can see the results. Each trainer is knowledgeable & encouraging. There is also a range of fitness levels so you truly get in where you fit in.

I have been going to the Camp since November and I couldn’t be happier with my results. All of the workers are very friendly and helpful. Sam, Sofia, Jam, Manny, Erica and Donnie are all helpful and push you to do your best.
eldon anthony Jul 7, 2025
Did the 6 week challenge here at The Camp in Downtown Long Beach- great experience! This environment definitely instills a different level of discipline and accountability. At first, I was intimidated but the staff is very motivating and non-judgmental; you can tell they want to see you make progress! The people that attend the classes are just as friendly and encouraging. The classes are a total of 50 minutes but it is very well paced, and the instructors give demos of every exercise before asking you to do them. They also have a variety of competitions, group trainings, and one-on-one training. I would definitely recommend this gym and challenge to anyone that wants to kickstart a fitness journey or wants a sense of community for their workouts.

Dane Moore May 5, 2025
I visited this location while traveling into Long Beach for a conference. The location was only 3 blocks from my hotel so was able to stick to my normal workout routine. The staff was very friendly and helped out a first time drop in member with parking info and signups. Coaches were great as well! Workouts kicked my butt and got me ready for my long days! I'll definitely stop in again when in town.
Michelle May 5, 2025

Edith Dec 12, 2024
Been coming here for 8 months now and have been enjoying everything they have to offer. The trainers will keep you on your toes but also make the classes fun and entertaining! If you're looking for an even bigger challenge, their Elite training and other programs will take your fitness journey to a higher level. Most of all I love their super friendly staff; who sometimes put together gatherings/activities (non fitness related) we can all enjoy. The Camp isn't only a gym, they've become a second family for many 🥲 love you guys!!!
Mayra Navarro Jun 6, 2024

I’ve been coming to The Camp Transformation Center in Downtown Long Beach for about a year now, and I couldn’t be happier! The staff and trainers are absolutely amazing—so supportive and motivating. Plus, the people who attend are all incredibly friendly and encouraging, which creates such a positive atmosphere. Even on days when I don’t feel like coming, as soon as I show up, I know I’m going to have a good time. The music is always on point, the workouts are challenging but fun, and the best part? It’s all over in about an hour. I’ve seen great results and feel stronger and healthier than ever. Highly recommend!
Megan Greenidge Oct 10, 2024

Stop googling, you found it! You found your gym! If you've been in and out of the gym for years with no results, if every time you step into a gym you feel lost, if you lack the motivation to get yourself up for the gym.. THIS IS THE PLACE FOR YOU! a gym where not only are you going to see results, but youre going to FEEL them. This gym has brought me the peace of mind that no therapist ever could. Give it a chance, try out a challenge.. you wont look back, i promise! Shout out to the coaches and the director.. truly A1 team!
Joss Velasquez Oct 10, 2024
Everyone says there’s more gyms out there , yes that’s true, but not unique like this one. Been here for about a year now and the growth and people I’ve met here that I can call friends has truly been a blessing to me. A whole community just wanting to grow and I love being apart of it. Love coming in to get my workout, great trainers with killer workouts, amazing staff, shoutout to the front desk girlies, and an amazing community to work out with. The Camp is my home away from home🫶🏼
Samantha Peralta Oct 10, 2024
I love this HIIT gym! It has the best atmosphere, challenging workouts and dedicated instructors who have great, motivating music mixes!! I want to especially recognize the manager at this location, Marisa. She has always been so welcoming! When I first dropped in to inquire on joining, she took her time to walk me through the membership process, she didn't pressure me, walked me through how the workouts worked (I'd never done HIIT workouts before joining) and it was her approach that convinced me to join. As I've been coming here, you'll always see her at the front desk smiling and welcoming us in by name and the other staff are also very friendly. That has made a huge difference and has created a unique and unforgettable experience! I HIGHLY recommend this Camp location. 💪
Rebecca O Oct 10, 2024

Jasibe Perez Jun 6, 2024
I’ve been to other locations of this franchise, but the DTLB location is FUEGO! The location is tucked away within the Promenade lined with restaurants and although small, packs a punch with every workout. The gym is clean, equipped with well quality equipment, and the staff is superb. You are always greeted with a warm hello as you enter by the wonderful staff members. The Director Marisa is charming, sweet, and super supportive to the members and her staff. The coaches are ready to hit each class with thrills, laughs, and lots of motivation to get you through those tough reps. Coach Joee, Jam, Jordan, and Donny are AMAZING! Cheers to this location and keep up the good vibes.

Marileni Robles May 5, 2024
The Camp changed my life. I'm mentally and physically stronger than I've ever been and it's all thanks to The Camp and the phenomenal trainers. Jordan, Jam, Joee, Donny and all of the other trainers push you to your limit and you come out of each class stronger and tougher. Also have to shout out the ladies at the front desk, no one's got energy like Sam energy, she's always positive and high energy and she sets the tone for everyone who walks into the gym. All of the ladies at the front desk are amazing and always have the biggest smile on their faces to greet everyone who walks in. Sign up at The Camp, you will not regret it.
Ghazal Youssefi May 5, 2024
I joined The Camp DTLB a little over a year ago and I have to say it has been a game changer! From the moment I walked in, the energy was infectious, and the staff were incredibly welcoming and motivating. The workouts were challenging but adaptable for all fitness levels. The trainers are not only knowledgeable but also passionate about helping everyone reach their goals. I gained not only a fitter, stronger body but also a positive mindset and a group of friends who share the same goals.
Maggie Ibarra Apr 4, 2024
