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!!!

I’m coming up on five months of training at Camp La Mirada, and it has truly been one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. Investing in myself and making my health and fitness a priority has been life-changing, and Camp La Mirada has played a huge role in that journey. The staff are incredibly friendly, knowledgeable, and approachable. Every morning I walk in, I’m greeted with a smile and a contagious energy that immediately motivates me for my workout. The trainers are amazing—motivating, encouraging, and genuinely fun. They push you to be your best while making every class enjoyable. If you’re looking for a supportive, high-energy environment with excellent trainers, I can’t recommend Camp La Mirada enough.

I started back in 2018 and since that this gym has exchanged owners. Talk about change, it was a change for the good. With a fantastic, supportive, caring staff. This place is my second home with people I love. I cant imagine ever stopping my workout routine and not seeing my workout family. Camp Transformation in La Mirada saved my life. Thank you 🙏 💓 💪

Update on my review: It’s been 6+yrs since I have been going to the camp. No words can express enough how great this location is from the staff, trainers & fellow camp members. So life changing for me to better myself everyday. I highly recommend to just drop in, check out the camp. The classes are always challenging but when your done it’s so worth it to see the physical results. Great staff & friendly environment- no judgment on anyone here
Carrie Delgado Feb 2, 2019
I have been to 4 other camp locations and La Mirada by far is the best. The environment created by Danielle and Marisa and the others on staff makes people of all levels of fitness feel welcome. They are encouraging, supportive, but keep it real and don't guilt you for not showing up or sticking to the meal plan. They truly care for their members and in turn all the members have been so welcoming to me. I've taken a class from almost every trainer and they always push us! This is the most consistent I've been working out (a little over 6 months) and I keep coming back for the environment, music, trainers, and members. So happy to have found this place!!!

The trainers and staff are knowledgeable, friendly, and supportive!! This is the best gym I’ve been to!!! Can’t Stop Won’t Stop 💪🏼🏋️♀️ I DEFINITELY RECOMMEND “The Camp Transformational Center”!! It will change your life mentally and physically!!

First off every single one of the staff are genuinely beautiful people! The trainers are super helpful in making sure you are exercising at your highest potential. This gym provided what I needed to drop all the weight that I had accumulated during the shutdown. 5,6”. Dropped about 30 lbs. I have been going ever since.The 21 day challenge was important because the accountability of weighing in and having somebody else check your progress made all the difference. Then I did the 6 - week challenge which really made it happen.This really makes a difference when your at home making your food choices. We all know portion control is an issue. However we have that reminder when your gym provides you with meal plans and checks your body composition weekly. The classes are designed so that you are in & out in 1 hour. The full array of muscle groups are targeted on specific days of the week. As far as equipment: The gym has mostly just free weights, leg bands, treadmills, & bikes. Leg days are on Tuesdays and Fridays. Arm days are on Mondays and Thursdays. Full body days are on Wednesdays and Saturdays.The trainers push you to finish your sets within the time frame and the guesswork of what exercise to do next is gone. This gym is perfect for people with jam packed schedules. It’s also great for people who want to push themselves even more and take several classes a day. You can also use the bikes and treadmills and the small weight room as you please when it’s not in use. You can go further and take elite classes that focus on strength training. You can also join the groups that do spartan races and other events. I also like that they have supplements available for purchase to help you on your transformation journey. I will see if I could put a before & after picture here. My body really changed. I was able to drop weight and maintain muscle! Especially in the glute area. For some reason my glutes used to be the first thing to go when I would drop weight. Not no more! My pants fit nice . No more saggy jeans.

Hyunjee Lee Jan 1, 2025
I really enjoy working at the camp.I rejoined after my 6 week postpartum and it has helped me loose all the baby weight I gained. I needed something to keep me motivated and accountable as it is easy to make excuses and loose track. The staff and trainers are very kind and motivated. I recommend the camp La Mirada to anyone who is thinking of joining.
Mayra Gudino Dec 12, 2024
I’ve been with the Camp La Mirada since 2019 and took sometime off during COVID. While I wasn’t working out at The Camp I just wasn’t seeing results. I like to idea of having a trainer plan my workout rather than me spending the time trying to figure out what to do. I recently re-joined again and I already see amazing results. Everyone is from trainers, staff and others working out along with you are friendly and nice. I would highly recommend this facility to everyone.
Marcella Sanchez Dec 12, 2024
Best decision I ever made was to join the Camp La mirada. I started with the 21 day program and then went straight to the 6week challenge. Went from 220 to 196 with muscle gain. But most importantly my health has improved dramatically, You really feel like your fellow workout classes are your team and family helping you through the way. The trainers are awesome and Danielle the owner is the best! Join! You won’t regret it! See you here!
Danny Enriquez Dec 12, 2024
OBSESSED WITH THIS GYM. Great training, great people, always a great workout. Music also pumps me up.
Blanca Aguayo Jul 7, 2024
I have always struggled with having fun with cardio. The trainers at the camp keep such a fun atmosphere while working out and have helped me tremendously with keeping me on track to accomplish my goals before summer.
Chris Velasco Jun 6, 2024
The camp is an amazing community and I love being apart of it. All of the trainers are super supportive and I’ve made the six week challenge very enjoyable. The music they play is amazing and they keep me engaged and excited to come work out every day. The front desk is one of my favorite parts. They always greet you with such excitement and, keep you motivated to come in. Everybody should try at least wanna work out in the camp and my favorite part is that they really help you to meet your goals.

Great place to workout! Friendly staff! 🎂
Tracey Ponce Christensen Mar 3, 2024
Great Hiit Class!! I was nervous that it would be too intense but everyone goes at their own pace and there are modifications if needed. Playlist was fireeee and Thuyen taught a killer class, mix of full body strength, conditioning, and light weight lifting if you’re into that. Definitely a tough class, be ready to suffer .. in a good way hehe

Awesome place for beginners and anyone looking to get a great workout. The classes are well put together and the trainers are quality. If you need help they are always willing to take the time. The classes are very motivating and challenging. The price is very competitive and worth every penny. I wish I would have known about this a long time ago. Definitely give it a go.
