Lose the Fat. Keep the Muscle. Measure Both.
The Athlos Transformation Program is coached training at Athlos Iron Lair, built for one result: less body fat, with muscle kept or built and strength going up. It runs in 12-week blocks, every block is measured, and it starts with a free Transformation Assessment.

What Transformation Means Here
Transformation has one meaning at Athlos: fat down, muscle held or built, strength up. The scale can’t show that, because it adds fat and muscle into one number. So the program measures body composition and strength instead: at the start, during each block, and in a full reassessment at the end of every 12-week block.
- Fat mass comes down
- Muscle is held or built
- Strength finishes every block at or above where it started
What’s Included
- Three coached sessions a week on the Iron Lair floor, from the first week, scaled to where you start
- A nutrition plan built around protein, with regular check-ins from a nutrition coach
- Body-composition testing at the start, during each block and at the end of every 12-week block, so fat and muscle are tracked separately
- Physician oversight through Athlos Health, our medical partner on Carson Street
The medical side
Every client is seen by a physician at Athlos Health before the training starts. Anything medical, including whether medication has any place in a plan, is the physician’s decision and stays with the clinic, never the gym floor. Your coaches see what they need to coach — training, body composition and any exercise restrictions — and never your medical records.

Who It’s For
Adults 30 and over who want to lose fat without giving up strength. Everyone runs the same program; only the starting point and the pace change.
- People who want to get leaner and stronger at the same time
- People who want to lose fat and keep the muscle they have
- People who want to stay strong and steady on their feet as the years go on, and to maintain and improve bone density through resistance training
- People starting from scratch — training begins where you are, with a coach beside you
How It Works
- Book your free Transformation Assessment. About 50 minutes at Iron Lair with Walter: your goals and training history, a body-composition scan, a short movement screen and a walk round the floor. No cost, no obligation.
- See the physician. A medical evaluation at Athlos Health, from December 1.
- Get one plan. Training, nutrition and medical oversight, walked through with you before your first session.
- Train the 12-week block. Three coached sessions a week and nutrition coaching, ending in a full reassessment. Then a new block with new targets, or graduation to a maintenance option.
The Floor and the Team
Every session happens on the 17,500-square-foot Iron Lair floor: Arsenal, Hammer Strength, Gym80 and Precor machines, free weights and the outdoor strength zone. Memberships are limited, so the floor stays uncrowded and a coached session runs on time.
One care team runs the program: the coaches here and the physician at Athlos Health, meeting every month on every client.
The Founding Cohort
The first group to go through the program is forming now. Your free assessment doubles as your application, and the start date and terms are confirmed with you before you join.
Questions
What happens at the free assessment?
About 50 minutes at Iron Lair with Walter. You talk through your goals and training history, get a body-composition scan read back on the spot, do a short movement screen after a brief safety questionnaire, and walk the floor. Then you hear how the program and the founding cohort work, and what the next step would be. There is no cost and no obligation.
Do I need to be in shape already?
No. Training starts where you are. Anyone starting from a low base begins on a foundations track, with a coach within reach for every standing and walking test, and moves up when ready.
Is this personal training?
It’s coached training inside a structured program: three sessions a week, a nutrition plan, testing every 12 weeks and a physician in the loop. Personal training on its own is still available.
How much fat will I lose?
We don’t predict individual results. What the program aims for is fat loss rather than scale loss, muscle held or built along the way, and strength at or above where you started, all measured during and at the end of every 12-week block.
Where is it?
The assessment and all training are at Athlos Iron Lair, 22715 Hawthorne Blvd Unit B, Torrance. The gym isn’t visible from Hawthorne Blvd: turn in at the Lucid dealership and we’re directly behind it. Medical visits are at Athlos Health, 3878 W. Carson Street, Suite 220, Torrance.
