OsteoStrong Pasadena - Pasadena, California

I've improved my bone density without taking medication! My Dexa scores are higher after nine months of doing the weekly program at OsteoStrong Pasadena. Ian and his staff are welcoming and encouraging. I appreciate how they help members hit bone growth trigger points and use good form so we get the most benefit. Highly recommend!

In the fall of 2022, I was diagnosed with osteoporosis and began taking Alendronate Sodium. A friend with osteoporosis recommended OsteoStrong. So, since February of 2023, I have been going every week (except for one month during the summer). My recent bone density scan showed so much improvement that I now have only osteopenia, not osteoporosis, and my doctor said I can stop taking the medication. I am thrilled with the improvement. The Pasadena branch has a knowledgeable and friendly staff, and I highly recommend them and OsteoStrong.

I started Osteostrong in October of 2021 right after being diagnosed with Osteoporosis. I was disheartened, and was looking for options to increase bone density naturally.

It was still during the pandemic, but I joined the Pasadena/Walnut St. gym. Ian and Nelson were my sole coaches for a while. I have attended regularly once a week since then.

I just received my latest bone density test results a few days ago. Not only did I not lose any bone density, I increased in all three areas. My score went up in one area by 6%! My doctor was very pleased and somewhat shocked, as she said a "good result" is when bone density stays the same. An increase is rare.

I love the personal attention at the Walnut branch. I feel that the trainers really focus on getting the best outcome.
I was so excited when I got my results back, I couldn't wait to tell Ian.
Is it expensive? Yes. Absolutely. But my doctor said, "Whatever you're doing, keep it up!"

OsteoStrong Pasadena has been just what I needed to improve my osteoporosis! I started 9/22 when I could no longer take the meds I was on. I have gone each week since then, with a 3 month break due to a back injury. I had a repeat DEXA in 10/23 and my scores had improved enough to be back in the osteopenia range...all in 44 weeks! I am so happy with my OsteoStrong experience! The team assists each and every client one on one during their session and they are my biggest cheerleaders! In each session they reiterate proper form and ensure I am doing each set of moves properly to minimize any risk of injury. I have gotten stronger and am surprised at how much my balance has improved using the vibration plate routine at the beginning and end of each session. The use of the PEMF mats and compression boots see me leaving after each weekly session with a smile on my face! I highly recommend Pasadena OsteoStrong based on the great experience I've had there!

I've been going to OsteoStrong Pasadena for about two years (excluding COVID closures). I've had a done density test recently and, compared to my previous readings I have either maintained my previous positions or shown an increase in the density in many of the measurements. The technician, who reviewed my test results with me, told me that "Whatever you're doing, keep doing it."
Ian and his staff are very professional, patient and good communicators. They are always accommodating regarding scheduling. They are very nice and friendly people who make me feel welcome. I always enjoy my sessions.

I can’t recommend Osteostrong Pasadena highly enough! After a year of weekly sessions, and combined with regular weight-bearing exercises, my last DEXA scan showed that my osteoporosis had been downgraded to osteopenia. I feel strongly that Osteostrong has been largely responsible for this. John, Ian, Sebastian and Michele are a wonderful team - always courteous, professional and very knowledgeable. In every session, they demonstrate the utmost patience and caring, so I always feel I’m in good hands. I’m now working on getting myself out of osteopenia and am confident that Osteostrong and my ongoing regimen will get me there!

My mom is so thankful to have found OsteoStrong as an alternative to the only options she was given to treat her osteoporosis which was either a yearly infusion or twice yearly injections that all had possible side effects.
Coach Ian and Coach John guide you through each workout station with patience, encouragement, knowledge and good humor.
The studio is kept immaculately clean, with each piece of equipment being disinfected after every use.
Coaches Ian and John are committed to helping each client reach their maximum strength level with the goal of stronger bones, better balance, and a stronger skeletal structure.

For the first time in 7 years my Dr. told me “You don’t need bone density medication!” OsteoStrong has worked for me far better than I could image! I have gotten results that “are too good to be true,” but they are TRUE!!!

Background: I started at Pasadena OsteoStrong May 12, 2023, after 8 months of being unable to exercise because of a bone fracture in my right foot. It was a desperation attempt to prevent having to go on medication, and I really didn’t think it would work. For years I have used diet, vitamins, minerals & LOTS of exercise to simply maintain or marginally build bone density.

Results: After just 5 months at OsteoStrong, my 9/23 DexaScan results were unbelievable! Here is a comparison of the last two scans. Both were done at the same facility and read by the same MD.
6/8/22 Lt. Hip = -2.4 Severe Osteopenia 9/11/23 Lt. Hip = -1.0 Normal
6/8/22 Rt. Hip = -2.8 Osteoporosis 9/11/23 Rt. Hip = -1.9 Moderate Osteopenia
6/8/22 Spine = -0.7 Normal 9/11/23 Spine = -0.9 Normal

Pasadena OsteoStrong: The staff is fabulous! They are knowledgeable, calm, encouraging, and adamant about safety. They work 1:1 with every client every time. The facility and equipment are impeccably clean. Parking is free underneath the building, but I have always used the street parking – also free. The have improved my health, improved my life and given me hope !
