Personal Training & Physical Therapy
My MIGS surgeon recommended Verro for physical therapy, and I am very pleased with my first session with Manreet. She is very knowledgeable and professional. I love how organized the studio is, both digitally and in real life. It makes it so much easier to follow a new exercise routine and learn about new movements and isolations. I think everyone should see a pelvic floor therapist at least once in their life, just to learn how to properly engage and isolate their muscles – it's really helpful when someone can guide you through your individual mistakes and properly cue you. I'm excited to see how this new knowledge helps me overcome my symptoms and recover after surgery!

I tried a couple of different personal trainers before I found Frank at Verro. I'm glad I tried the others first so I could appreciate how great Frank is. I LOVE the gym… super clean, quiet, peaceful, and chill. Frank isn't your average trainer – he's beyond knowledgeable and puts so much useful thought into each program he develops for me. He tracks everything I do to ensure I'm constantly progressing and getting stronger. He's also amazingly adaptable with injuries, what works or doesn't, schedules, etc. And with all that, somehow he's quite a bit more affordable than every other trainer I tried. I haven't done physical therapy with Manreet yet, but she's amazing as well and even helped advise me on a knee injury I have. I have absolutely zero interest in being at any other gym. Highly recommend Frank, Manreet, and Verro!

I feel very fortunate to have found Manreet, who is much more in tune with the nuances of a pelvic injury than the myriad other PTs I’ve worked with. She pays close attention to the ways my other muscles compensate and focuses on foundational movements. I feel like I’m in great hands with her and also enjoy her on an interpersonal level. She is easy to talk to, but professional and stays on task. Highly recommend!
Ashley Karubian
Due to ongoing back problems, including multiple back surgeries, I have been seeing Manreet for physical therapy for years. She's simply the best. After having seen multiple PTs, no one compares with Manreet. She brings to PT a perfect combination of deep knowledge, immense empathy, and fun. She's also extremely responsive. There is no other PT I would see, and everyone who I have referred her also loves her. I can't say enough good things. If you need PT, see Manreet!
Adam Wergeles
Frank is wonderful! His data-driven approach to fitness training sets him apart from other trainers I've worked with, as he carefully tracks progress and adjusts programs based on actual results. What makes Frank truly special is how he combines this analytical mindset with genuine warmth and encouragement. He creates a welcoming environment while delivering impressive results through his evidence-based methods. The studio is pristine, the equipment is top-notch, and Frank's expertise shines through in every session. I couldn't recommend him more highly - he's simply the best trainer I've ever worked with!
Charlie Greene
I'm a 55-year-old who has exercised and been active my whole life. I went to Verro because I need to learn ways to modify my training to avoid injuring myself and to also work around my limitations. I went in for a visit and after talking to Frank, it was apparent that he was heavily into the science of exercise rather than the typical trainer (He cites articles and studies when appropriate). Frank developed a spreadsheet of exercises for our sessions and for me to repeat in the gym on my own. He quantifies what (if any) progress you make and tweaks the program. I've only incorporated about 1/3 of what he gave me and I'm having less shoulder pain and a LOT less knee pain. will return and have another 10 sessions with him at the end of this year. If that has good results as well, I might just make it an annual event.
Chris Mulhern
I recently returned to Manreet for support during my second pregnancy, and she continues to be the best pelvic floor specialist I’ve ever worked with. Her respectful and caring approach makes every session comfortable and empowering. She responds quickly to messages, addressing my concerns with a calming presence that eases any doubts. What sets her apart is her ability to provide clear, science-based answers without dismissive or vague responses, ensuring I feel confident in my care. Her highly individualized approach tailors every session to my specific needs, making a significant difference in my pregnancy journey. I wholeheartedly recommend Manreet to anyone seeking exceptional, personalized pelvic floor therapy.
Vanessa Hensler
I can't say enough great things about my experience with Frank! He designed a fantastic workout program that focused on my arms and abs, and the results have been amazing. The workouts are challenging yet effective, and they really tailored the program to suit my fitness goals. What I love most is how knowledgeable and motivating he is. If you're looking for a dedicated and skilled trainer to help you reach your fitness goals, I highly recommend Frank at Verro!
Gio M
I’ve been seeing Manreet (sometimes weekly) for over a year for a variety of PT needs related to injuries and surgeries as well as women’s health. She is so knowledgeable and experienced, plus attentive, caring, and professional. She treats the whole person and is thoughtful and comprehensive in her care plans to really improve daily mobility, strength, and overall health. Highly recommended!
Whitney Heafner
My husband and I joined Verro a few months ago and are so glad we did. Frank has been a huge asset in helping me reach my fitness goals. He has a wealth of knowledge, is extremely personable, and is a great motivator. He really listens to my goals and feedback to personalize my workout, which has been a game-changer for me. Gone are the days of me floundering around the gym, thanks to Frank.
Kevin King
Frank is an amazing trainer! I am new to weight training, and he has been so incredible in explaining all exercises thoroughly and making sure I am doing them correctly. The best part is that he is data-driven, so you can track your progress week over week. Bonus, he always has great music on. Highly recommend!
Michelle Greener Goodman
I found Manreet through my husband, who was actually going to her because she determined he had a pelvic floor injury from running. Who knew! I went to see Manreet as a first-time mom, pre- and postnatal. She helped guide me through keeping my ever-changing body strong and prepared me for the big day, though I thought postnatal was where Manreet really saved me. I had to relearn how my core worked and engage back into a body that I was so disconnected from. But thanks to Manreet, I never had leaking issues. I hear many women have or pain with return to activity. I can confidently confirm my husband and I are back to running competitively!
Jade Yim
I have nothing but love for Manreet! I am the patient who ignored all the signs that my pelvic floor was weakening over the years. When I walked in to see her, she quickly realized how disconnected I was to all of this. But she was so super kind, extremely knowledgeable, and developed an amazing restorative plan. There are only a few physical therapists who focus on women's health. Manreet outshines them all!!
Cami George
Highly recommend Manreet as a physical therapist! I came to her 2 weeks after arm surgery and could not extend my arm more than 90 degrees. Not only did she get my full extension back, but she was very kind, supportive, and empathetic. It was just what I needed, being in a dark place after my injury. I am forever grateful. She is the best!
Isela Garcia
I've been working with Frank for 5 years. It's not an overstatement to say he's transformed my approach to fitness. With Frank's guidance and system, I have now conquered the main obstacle for getting and staying in shape - an ignorance of what I should be doing in the gym every day. Frank's system of inputs, outputs and data tracking are the foundation of my fitness regime. He's also a genuinely good guy who makes the grind of personal fitness enjoyable.
Ward Hendon
I was fortunate enough to have Dr. Manreet Sangha as a physical therapist during a very difficult season of life. She is extremely knowledgeable and profoundly compassionate. She cares for her patients as if they were her family, and truly desires to see them succeed on their health journey. She is an exceptional physical therapist and I feel thankful to have her as my PT as I journey through a healthier year. I highly recommend her to any individual looking to optimize their physical health.
Raziel Rizzo
I just finished my first 6 week program with Frank. I love his method for tracking progress and his ability to change programming quickly if progress isn’t being made. Most trainers are unable to show you objective progress and Verro has this dialed in. The facility is great and has everything you need and a bunch of fun gadgets :) Frank is super authentic and personable and very evidence based in his approach which I appreciate.
Dr. Mary Pardee
Dr. Manreet Sangha is one of the best PTs I’ve worked with. I have been dealing with neck pain for most of my life and seeing her after just one session I was able to feel a difference. Not only does she do a great job with soft tissue mobilization, but she has a great understanding of what I need to strengthen to prevent that pain again. I highly recommend her if you are experiencing any back or neck pain.
Germaine Kempis
I have worked with several different physical therapists over the years and my overall experience with Manreet exceeds them all. Manreet evaluated my condition, took into account my pre-injury level of activity, and designed a recovery plan that met my needs. Her care and professionalism was exceptional…she cares about her patients! Not only does she help each person to reach their recovery goals, but she also provides the tools and knowledge to maintain them. I am very glad I chose to work with Manreet and I recommend she be your first choice too!
Anthony Solis
I’ve been working with trainer Frank Hawley at Verro for over four years. In that time I lost 35 pounds, increased my strength by a factor of x10, increased body symmetry—and saw back aches, joint pops, varicose veins & muscle atrophy disappear! The best part has been Frank’s constant yet gentle and encouraging guidance. He pushes me to do things I never thought would be possible for me to do. The confidence that’s resulted has been an incredible development in my life, which I am very thankful for. Frank & Verro = highly recommended.
Sean Carnage
I’ve been to many physical therapists over the years, and Manreet is by far the best one! I first started seeing her for what I thought was a back injury, but through our treatment, we realized something else was wrong, and she began a custom treatment plan to treat my actual pain and lack of mobility as we figured out what was wrong. After getting several tests from additional doctors, it turns out I had been grossly misdiagnosed, and in fact had CRPS in my right leg. Manreet was able to adapt to this new diagnosis and supported me with a tailored regimen that allowed me to improve significantly. During this time, I also began fertility treatments and became pregnant, and every step of the way, Manreet made sure to address the needs of my changing body and help me build up the strength I needed while making sure not to exacerbate my existing condition. Unlike most PTs who stick to a cookie-cutter regimen and provide generic exercises you could find on YouTube, Manreet takes a patient-first approach and treats each patient for their unique circumstance and their particular experience. Some sessions are more focused on manual therapy, others are more about strength/stability building or stretching, and others include different techniques for pain relief - she supported what my body needed on a given day. She’s gone above and beyond for me more times than I can count - researching techniques for my specific diagnosis, tracking down an acupuncturist, recommending tools I could use at home, treating a random wrist sprain mid-pregnancy, and the list goes on. If you are looking for a physical therapist who is extremely knowledgeable, passionate, caring, flexible, and encouraging — someone who will truly listen to you as the unique human you are, help you meet your physical goals, and spend time on your care — look no further.
Cindy Kaplan
Not only is Manreet an EXPERT PT who I'd trust with any kind of physical rehab, she's got the best personality for the job - patient, attentive (nothing gets by her) and fun with an infectious sense of humor. And her calm confidence helped me build confidence in my own ability to heal; I'm stronger than ever thanks to her, and I recommend her to anyone and everyone!
Jude Roth
Hands down one of the best, if not the best, training experiences in Los Angeles. Every single piece of equipment is top of the line, from the barbells to the plates, dumb bells…even the floor is probably the best gym floor I’ve ever been on. From a personal training perspective, I’ve been training with Frank for about a decade and I would recommend him to anyone. Whether you’re an elite athlete, or looking to get into fitness for the first time, I would highly suggest reaching out and getting on Frank’s program.
Chase Zukerman
If you are sick of the big box gym experience and want a place where you can strength train without having to wait for equipment, this is the spot. You can book your own weight rack which has everything you will possibly need for a resistance workout. An even bigger perk is Frank will design a workout that you can follow on your own if you don't want to work out with a trainer everyday, and he keeps refining that program as you improve. Combine all that with 24/7 access and it is like having your own private gym.
Cyril ONeil
Manreet is a fantastic physical therapist. I couldn't squat properly for nearly two years due to a knee injury. I saw a few therapists, but Manreet was the only one who was able to help me reach my goal. She listens carefully to your concerns and supports you throughout recovery. She has astute judgement, knowing when to push and when to be gentle and conservative. I learned a ton from her. She knows her stuff, I highly recommend her.
Kayla Arjasbi
I began seeing Manreet over Covid due to an ongoing issue with my lower back and pain that radiated from there. I had been to many specialists who could not diagnose the problem and had no idea how to help me. My chiropractor referred me to Manreet because she found her to be a very thoughtful and intelligent physical therapist who had helped many of her patients. I presented at my first appointment very discouraged. I'd stopped exercising because I was in almost constant pain. But from the first assessment, I could see that Manreet was listening and thinking of the best approach to deal with my issues. She asked me questions as she carefully diagnosed what she thought was going on. We started a protocol of in-person visits and at-home exercises. Within 3 weeks, I had improved so much that I was once again able to do things I hadn't been able to do for years. Within 3 months, I could ride my bike again, walk and even jog again! What Manreet was able to do for me was nothing short of a miracle. I have since referred friends who've had various issues and everyone tells me the same thing. That she is amazing! I can't recommend her enough.
Rehana Khan
Been working with the team at Verro for a while now and really enjoy the well-designed programming in training. The approach is friendly and flexible, making you want to come back, which is hard with the chaotic day-to-day tasks. The results I've had working with Frank speak for themselves - snagged my current honeyboo as a result. Seriously, you gotta check ‘em out. So fun and worth the sweat.
Saul Ramirez
I’d had trainers and been a fan of workouts like Barry’s and SoulCycle, but no comparison to the results I’ve had with Frank. Programs are data-driven, research-backed, and personalized. I have worked with Frank for five years now — and seen the kind of results I’d always wanted from personal training. I’ve never looked or felt better. All thanks to the trust I’ve placed in Frank, the professionalism, and research he’s brought to the fitness industry in Los Angeles.
Peter Hamby
Dr Manreet was awesome. I came in with sciatica pain and she was very patient in listening to me describe my persistent pain. She devised a program that I should do daily. I currently feel pain-free and will continue to do what she recommended. I can say she is truly an excellent and caring PT. As I was leaving she gave me her personal resistance band that I used in the program she devised and said use this daily and I will be fine and for me to come back anytime. I highly recommend this place and her and you will not regret coming here….this is what service and a caring professional is all about and her fee was very reasonable. If I could give 10 stars I would. I recommend my niece to see her for her knee pain.
George Lin
Before meeting Frank, I'd been working out for 10+ years with limited results to show. Since I've been working out under his guidance (1x / week), I've gotten significantly stronger and put on noticeable muscle mass. Frank worked with me to build a strong foundation. He designed programs that test my personal response to different workouts, matching my development goals. During sessions, he enforces proper form and technique. He's always ready to answer any question on fitness or nutrition, drawing from his deep well of scientific research. But besides being an amazing trainer, Frank is also a great conversationalist and deep thinker. I always look forward to catching up during our sessions together. Work with Frank and Verro if you want to (finally) see results from the time you invest in building a stronger, fitter body!
Albert Chen
If you are looking for a physical therapist then Manreet is the PT you need in your life! She has helped me with a back injury, after I had labral repair surgery in my hip, and with postpartum recovery. She is extremely knowledgeable and will create a plan based off of your needs. She is professional and just a true gem!
Jayme Jacinto
I’m a 21-year-old student and played sports all my life and at the varsity level in high school. Never had any serious injuries. However, in Jan 2024 I had a severe case of disc herniation, leaving me bedridden for 2-3 weeks as well as having to get an epidural steroid injection just to even sit, lay down, or walk without agonizing in excruciating pain. All this made me reach the lowest point in my life thus far, and after meeting several doctors (3-5), many suggested surgery. However, I took a leap of faith and decided to go to Vero, which at the time was a relatively new shop.
I met with Manreet, founder & physiotherapist at Vero, twice a week beginning in mid-January 2024. Within the first session, the tingling sensation behind my legs was gone (which was bothering me for 3 weeks already at the time). Within the second week (4 sessions), the numbing sensation also disappeared (at this point, I had it for a month).  In mid-March, I made so much progress with Manreet that I was able to defy the odds and go back to the weight room. I workout with Frank, the founder and personal trainer at Verro, to ensure my safety and new insights into weightlifting, considering my condition. Now, I do both physio & weightlifting at Verro, and at the stage where I am pretty much close to being fully recovered (in 2 months’ time, mid-January- mid-March).  They’ve both been incredibly helpful during this recovery process and very insightful, supportive, and intelligent in their respective fields.
Nathan Halim
I was lucky enough to work with Manreet both postpartum after my first child, and during pregnancy with my second. Manreet is an incredible physical therapist -- taking the time to really listen and work hands-on in partnership with you on your healing. I highly recommend working with her.
Alexandra Ostrow
I have been seeing Manreet Singh for PT with ankle issues. A magician with surgical knowledge and precision, Manreet is the most compassionate caregiver one could hope for. I cannot recommend Manreet highly enough. Manreet is simply THE BEST!
Mohamed Sharif
Manreet is the most amazing physical therapist, hands down! Her unparalleled expertise, personalized approach, and genuine care sets her apart. Manreet is unquestionably committed to the well-being of her clients-- with a keen understanding of your unique needs, she will craft targeted, effective treatment plans. Manreet's exceptional skills, combined with a warm and encouraging demeanor, create an environment where progress is not just expected but celebrated. Thank you Manreet!
Erika A
Manreet changed the quality of my life for the better after going under her care for a herniated disc. She did not only focus on minimizing my pain symptoms, but also gave me a treatment plan to get stronger and minimize the likelihood of my symptoms reoccurring. I could not recommend her more!
Nicole Mohit
I'm a relatively new patient at Verro and am seeing Dr. Manreet Sangha for my cervical radiculopathy and lateral epicondylitis diagnosis (aka pinched neck nerve and tennis elbow) diagnosed by my orthopedic surgeon, Dr. Natasha Trentacosta. I ask many questions, and in every session, Dr. Sangha clearly explains what she is doing and why (or how it helps). After three sessions, I'm already feeling much better. While Dr. Sangha's sessions may seem expensive, her treatment and care are worth every penny. One of her sessions is worth more than three PT sessions provided by my HMO. The Verro facility is clean and bright, and there's always good music playing in the background. A friend referred me to Dr. Sangha, and now I refer her to all my friends. If you're looking for a westside PT, look no further and book your appointment today!
Souris Hong
As a Mom of 2, working out has completely changed my energy and productivity levels. It helps me stay positive and strong! I would recommend Verro to any parent looking to get fit, and keep up with their kids!
Navreet Mathur
Manreet is amazing - I went in worried that I could not be fixed, and she proved my fears unfounded. She is a gifted listener and seems to have an intuitive sense of what’s wrong and how to fix it. The best!! I highly recommend her.
Kellie Hartwell
Not only has Frank’s program strengthened my body, but his commitment to my growth and the enjoyment of getting to train with him 3x a week have enhanced my emotional well-being as well. He loves what he does, he loves seeing results, and he’s able to create programs that truly transform the body, mind, and soul.
Orie Prince
Verro's approach offers so much more than just stellar training—they pull back the curtain on the 'why' behind fitness. In working with Frank, I've learned more about the psychology, physiology, and art of fitness than I could have ever anticipated. This has not only transformed how I look and feel but also how I relate to my body and health. I'm feeling strong, empowered, and very grateful to Verro.
Brendan DeWold
Been training with Frank for five weeks and already feel stronger. I’m disciplined with cardio, but I need someone to motivate and teach me for strength training. This has been a perfect fit for me!
Erin Jontow
The team at Verro are absolute scientists when it comes to exercise science. Love working out here, highly recommend anyone who is looking to take their health seriously.
Victor Bilgen
Frank is the greatest. His programs are fantastic and track your improvements. The space is awesome too. Not to mention, he’s a very good man!!
Josh Dembling
Frank is the best trainer I have ever used. He is smart and tracks and programs based on your personal metrics. No fluff just results driven training.
Calvin Corzine
I thought I knew what I was doing at the gym, and then I met Frank. I now spend less time lifting but have so much more to show for it. It’s fun and rewarding to see your resistance and reps go up week over week, and I never thought I’d see the day I found squatting and deadlifts enjoyable.
Ben Tillotson
Manreet is an absolute miracle worker! Manreet's got this magical touch to rehabilitate even the most complicated of injuries. If you're dealing with any aches, she's the one to see. Trust me, you'll be raving about her
Georgina Goodwin
Shout out to Gunnar and Frank, who keep me on track with my program and entertained during my workouts.
