I have been going to FBE for about 6 months and I absolutely love it. My primary purpose for going to FBE was to build lean muscle and lose fat, and that is exactly what has happened. Within weeks I was leaner, stronger, more balanced (both physically and emotionally), and had more energy (you feel more energized after your workout). These benefits contribute to the most important aspect of losing weight and building lean muscle, MOTIVATION. I don’t know about you but when I go to a normal gym I have to force myself to go and never enjoy the workout. Not here. At FBE you want to come in and workout. The staff encourages you to relax and enjoy your workout, and you leave feeling better than when you arrived. No normal gym can say that.

A typical workout for me consists of about 20 minutes on the Vibration Machine. That’s the equivalent to 2 hours on a treadmill, and stimulates and strengthens so many more muscle groups. After the Vibration Machine I head to the infrared sauna for about 30 minutes to detoxify and burn calories. I leave feeling energized and fill up a bottle of Alkaline Water on my way out to replenish minerals in my body and hydrate (It is 6x more hydrating than regular water). I am out of the door in less than an hour with a workout equivalent to 3 hard hours in the gym, not to mention the other benefits associated with the vibration machine and infrared sauna. It’s a no-brainer for me.

Finally, as an athlete this is ideal for me. I am able to get an unparalleled workout without exhausting my running energy, which is crucial when I play a 90 minute soccer game. And the next day I am back at FBE in the pneumatic compression machine, which is like a deep tissue massage that stimulates circulation, for recovery. I will never go to another gym again.

I've a been a member of your spa for about 5 months now, and I wanted to tell you all how happy I am with the results. I have noticed a change in my endurance, strength, overall body tone and posture. Just as an example, I went skiing about a month ago in Aspen, and had only skied once before in my life. While my friends were struggling after only a couple of hours, I was able to ski for three days without breaking a sweat. While everyone struggled with soreness the next day, I was the only one still ready to hit the slopes. I remember last time I went skiing (4 years ago) I was the one struggling. I can only attribute this tremendous increase in strength and endurance to FBE.

This is the place I stay toned, detoxed and relaxed. It's not a spa and it's not a gym. Think fitness/wellness studio. And the word is getting out, I've seen several celebrities getting toned and detoxed there the SMART way. My membership is the best investment I could have ever made. I have lost 4 inches off my waist and never got this much muscle definition in my legs after training for and running a marathon. The complimentary ionized alkaline water has given me a new bounce to my step, and napping in the infrared jade sauna pod not only detoxifies me and boosts my immune system, but is so relaxing it's helping me sleep better at night. What are you waiting for? Call them and ask to try the Whole Body Vibration machine and see for yourself how your body can receive the benefits of an hour workout at the gym in ten minutes on these amazing machines (with a breathtaking view of the La Brea Tarpits Park). Free parking on their cross street (Stanley)

Too good to be true? Certainly not! Firm Body Evolution is the real deal. I have been a member of FBE Spa for five months now. The physical transformation I am experiencing is remarkable, and my commitment to fitness, fun, detoxing and relaxation has paid off in many ways – from weight loss to toning, an improved immune system, better sleep, and anoverall feeling of well being. I love it! Staff and owner Joseph H. are very friendly, professional and down to earth people. No attitude or BS…. Very cool. Same for Yasmin H. and Dr. Best; they are approachable, caring health care practitioners. There are two places where I’m able to relax and recharge. One is my home, and the other is FBE. FIVE STARS – I highly recommend it!

You won't find any other place like this in Los Angeles (or the United States for that matter). One man's cure from crohn's disease has led to this beautiful facility that gives you the opportunity to take responsibility for your own health and be pro-active for your own well-being. Fitness and physical health starts from the inside and the chiropractor and acupuncturist help align you to get the best and ultimate results from your workout and detox experience. Check out this amazing place ! ! !

I checked this place out after hearing about it from a friend, and fell in love right away. There is no place like it in LA- from the whole body vibration machines to the infrared jade sauna, this place really has the right approach. Tone up on the vibration machine and detox in the jade sauna pod. Unbelievable. As an added bonus, drink the alkaline water they serve which is proven to be the only kind of water we should all be drinking... Can’t recommend this place enough

Infrared Saunas, Vibration Machines, Acupuncture - weight loss meets anti aging and detox! Move over Power Plate, FBE's whole body vibration machines give you a real work out. The machine does most the work. Their infrared saunas are lined with jade stone and they have air therapy, like pneumatic compression in hospitals that feel like you're being massaged by four people at once. It truly is the most unique fitness/wellness center I've ever seen. They've been all over TV and have celebrity chiropractor Dr. Ken Best who is a healing/spiritual guru. FBE is the perfect place for people who want to stay healthy and fit, but don't like going to the gym. Since I've been going there for about a month I've lost 10lbs of fat and gained muscle on their vibration machines. The machines are great for breaking up fat, cellulite, building bone density and muscle tissue.

Finally a place for people who don't like going to the gym! FBE is one of the most unique places I've ever seen. Located across the street from the scenic La Brea Tar Pits their vibration machines may not look like much, but they give a great work out, burning fat while building muscle. I lost inches! The infrared saunas are very healthy and relaxing. Their air therapy machines do wonders for circulation, plus they feel like four people massaging you at the same time. You've probably seen them on Access Hollywood, KTLA, The Doctors, Tyra, they've been all over the media, and the hype is real. If you're into fitness and holistic health you have to check them out.

Being an actress, I have a demanding schedule. The services at FBE Spa are so convenient and helpful - I use their vibration machines and infrared saunas to get quick and effective work-outs and detoxing in half the time it would take me at a gym. Dr. Best is truly one of the most amazing Chiropractors in town. The entire staff is so friendly and fun! They have yummy Alkaline water and fresh fruits, too. I love it!

Just when I thought there was no hope for stopping my weight gain and energy loss, a friend took me to the FBE Spa in December of 2008. After only one session I was convinced that this was the place I would improve my health. Now, seven months later, I have experienced amazing results from three days a week at the FBE Spa. At age 80 I have more energy, greater strength and a new sense of well-being. Thanks to the vibration excise machine my whole body has firmed up and my core has been strengthened thus reversing the beginning of osteoporosis.

The hip rotator machine gently relaxes my hip joints and body muscles so I have more spring to my walk. As a cancer survivor whose treatment included radiation and chemotherapy my body greatly needed detoxification. The air therapy machine provided lymphatic drainage and the infrared jade sauna helped detoxify my system and burn fat. The best part of the time at FBE Spa is the relaxing nap I take in the sauna.

The physical treatments are enhanced by the FBE Spa variety of Genesis supplements and the ionized alkaline water that I take regularly. In addition, I have taken advantage of the expert services of the chiropractor, Dr. Best, and the acupuncturist. I am certain that the warm friendly FBE Spa professionals - Joseph, Mark, and Kevin contribute immeasurably to the success of my improved health. The results are amazing and include a ten pound weight loss, two dress sizes smaller and my doctor’s discontinuing of my blood pressure medicine. I can hardly wait to see what seven more months at FBE Spa will do for my figure and health.

I am on my 3rd week at fbe and love the results in such a short amount of time..the vibrating machine is amazing and the infrared sauna has me sleeping like a baby at night..this is well worth it! my troubled areas are my arms and nothing else has ever made me notice tightening

Love FBE Spa... whenever I feel stressed this is the place I run to. Service from the staff to the equipment is impecable. I have been with the spa for about a month and I already lost 5 pounds! My clothing fits better and everyone is telling me how great I look. Many thanks to FBE Spa!

it's now day 6 and i'm 8 pounds lighter. nice!! my trainer, ZEUS has been extremely patient while educating ME on the proper ways of using the vibration machine. he knows when to push and when to pull back - the sign of a great trainer

as for the diet, DR. KEN BEST is teaching me how to eat "clean" and educating me on what foods work and what foods don't work with my body. the SUNFARE food delivery program definitely makes eating easier!!

once my workout is completed i move to the second and third phase of my program: the Pneumatic Compression machine and the infrared jade sauna. both are unique and amazing treatments. in a short amount of time, i'm sleeping better - deeper and longer. my body is totally detoxing while giving me more energy. i'm actually feeling calmer and "in my body". what a blessing.

joseph harounian has definitely created and an amazing environment. an experience that's physical, mental and spiritual. thank you. i look forward to this journey...

I have been a member now for three months and I can't thank the staff and product line enough for the amazing transformation I have experienced. The weightloss/detox regime really "jump started" my transformation and the vibration exercisers (similar to the Power Plate, only better) have taken my weight loss and muscle definition to a whole new level. After training for six months before my last Marathon, I didn't see the muscle definition in my legs that I now see using the vibration plate. I have cancelled my gym membership at LA Fitness (it seems ridiculous to go there after seeing these amazing results in such a short time on the vibration machine at FBE Spa). I have a whole new vitality for life! Using acupuncture treatments for weight loss and anti-stress, for the first time in two years, I no longer take sleeping pills to fall asleep at night. What a huge relief this is (let alone a cost savings) Thank you ! ! ! ! The filtered alkaline water has really helped my disposition as well. And what a treat it is to nap in the infrared jade saunas while my body is de-toxing and burning calories while I sleep. This is a holistic dream where I can take responsibility for my own healthcare and nurture my body temple on a whole new level. Plus, I am meeting the most amazing people who also share my quest for better approaches and solutions to healthy living and a prosperous life!

I have been a member of FBE for over a month now and can't believe the results so far. I am much less stressed and am really toning up! I like the vibration exerciser (kind of like Power Plates, which I've also done, but even better) and the jade infrared sauna. Both burn a ton of calories with minimal effort. This place is like a cross between a spa and a gym. No huffing and puffing or sweating on a treadmill -- it's like pampering your way to a better body. I'm actually kind of shocked it works because it's so easy, but I am proof. My body is firmer already, and the relaxation of the infrared sauna has done wonders. Also helps with antiaging and detox too. Couldn't recommend this place more highly!

Cons: don't park on wilshire blvd.

I am so excited to have found FBE Spa. Because I am asthmatic, cardiovascular exercise has always been difficult for me. I have been looking for a place/spa/gym that had vibration plates and finally located FBE. Since I started using the machines, I have lost weight and have more energy. Each time I use the vibration machine, I figure out different ways to enhance my workout. I highly recommend giving this a try.

From the moment I walked through the door, and smelled the subtle aromatherapy, to the 30 minutes I was floating in the infrared jade stone sauna therapy beds, I felt like I was taking care of myself and treating myself to luxurious treatments you can't find anywhere else. This holistic Heaven on earth has to be experienced to be believed. The staff is so friendly and helpful that they feel like friends. They are attracting an amazing community of people who are conscious about who they are and wanting to support their emotional, spiritual and physical qualities through Eastern medicine techniques and the latest breaking technologies for fitness. I am a 45 year old male, and in the past 3 weeks, I have lost two inches on my waist and dropped that weight that's so hard to lose around my stomach, lower back and thighs. This was from using their amazing weight loss and detox nutritional supplement programs. Their Body Composition Analyzer is so cool. It measures your total body water, fat free mass, lean soft tissue mass and tells you what your daily target calories are to achieve your goals. I have also started acupuncture sessions to reduce my stress and anxiety levels. WOW ! What a difference I am feeling already, just after two sessions. And they have the most AMAZING myofascial massage therapist that has helped me to take my relaxation to a much deeper level and release toxins in my body that have been there for years. The vibration machine is firming and toning my whole body, but ESPECIALLY my chest, stomach, arms and butt. The view of the La Brea tar pits park is so calming and grounding while you're standing on the vibration machine, letting it do all the work for you. You HAVE to check this place out. It's one of L.A.'s best kept secrets and I'm sure it won't be long before there's a waiting list to join this fantastic facility.

I just had a very memorable Swedish Massage

Lately, life has been so stressful and I really needed to relax. I made an appointment for a massage at FBE Spa on Wilshire and was very impressed with the relaxation machines that they have that prepped me for my therapy. I used the vibration plate (not sure what to call it) and another machine that massages the body with air pressure. The combination of the machines and the 90 minute deep tissue massage made me feel like I was in heaven. I can't wait to try one of the other services. I will definitely be back.

Being a performer, my health and looking good is part of my job. I found this place because I had decided to do a detox and it was recommended that I find an infrared jade sauna. after searching this was the only place in LA I could find them. But when I went to FBE, I was instantly impressed with the other services available! The infrared jade sauna is definitely fantastic and they also had a vibration machine (this isn't available anywhere else in LA but you can goto NYC and they charge 250 for a half hour!) and a presso machine (or leg therapy) . Presso therapy is a lymphatic drainage machine that definitely clears the body of toxins and definitely helps you drop pant sizes. I had recently spent 80 bucks for a half hour at a BH spa. But at FBE it is included in the monthly fee- and you can use it unlimitedly! So no appointments, no time limits and no extra fees! And the vibration machine is awesome! You instantly feel good when you use it as it works the large and SMALL/hard to train muscles in your body- lengthening, strengthening your muscles while burning fat. And it is fun! I have been able to define every area of my body in half the time I would normally spend lifting and doing cardio. Plus it increases bone density and uses 100 percent muscle fiber instead of the normal 40 percent that you use during lifting. And on top of all of this, the people are awesome- no snobs or bs here, the place is clean and relaxing and for a monthly fee you can use all of these machines any time you want for as long as you want! And I recently started using their Genesis supplements and juices and think I am hooked! All in all, this is a secret gem and I highly recommend it to anyone that wants to look and feel great, to relax, to heal from injuries or just look good on the beach and of course, to detox!

This was my first time in a Jade sauna or on the vibration machine, and it was a great new experience. I am getting over some injuries, and this was a great alternative to weight lifting or cardo (running on a treadmill) because it was low-impact, easy, and quick. I left feeling very relaxed, as I do after a great workout.

I was someone who for years payed a membership to an excercise club and very rarely went because I don't like to excercise in the conventional way, until I found FBE Spa. The vibration machines helped me with my circulation problems and also jumped started my weight loss. 10 minutes of vibrating ( and no sweat!) is equivalent to almost an hour of running. I also love the lympatic drainage compression machine it has helped me with circulation, lympatic drainage and detoxification. The Jade Sauna allows me to relax, rejuvenate in the warm bed of jade stones and also detoxify, sweat and burn calories while sleeping! Combined with the Genesissecret weight loss program offered here I have released 15 pounds in less than a month! The owner is knowledgeable and a wonderful human being. I highly recommend this Spa.

unique and amazing

I finally found a place in LA to try the latest celebrity exercise-vibrational therapy! If I wondered why celebs who use the vibration therapy look so good-now I understand why. Standing on the vibration machine targets every area of my body-back, hips, arms, even chin and even cheeks(I'm talking about those on my face, but of course it targets those cheeks too :). It feels so good-and gives me a full body workout. I really feel invigorated and stimulated after spending about 15 minutes on the machine. My treat after the vibration "exercise" is the lymphatic drainage air pressure machine. It squeezes your body to the degree that you choose and gets your lymphatic fluids flowing-this is a great way to assist your body in detoxifying. Then there is the jade sauna where I take a long hot nap-while continuing to burn calories in detox via the infrared lights. Come try it!
