Many people juggle appointments between a personal trainer, physical therapist, nutritionist, and doctor, running all over town, setting appointments, and trying to keep it all straight. None of these providers communicate with each other, so it’s no wonder that nothing seems to stick.
Monarch Athletic Club recognized this fundamental flaw and built something to address it. Since 2020, Monarch has been proving that integrated care delivers measurably superior results. No more hoping your providers will eventually connect the dots—Monarch provides a dedicated, coordinated team, working from the same playbook and focused entirely on your progress.
When you walk into Monarch, you can tell from first glance that this isn’t an ordinary gym. The club is a HIPAA-compliant medical facility with full-stack services. Physical therapy, diagnostics, strength, nutrition, and mental health support all operate in one coordinated system. Everyone works one-on-one with clients, and all professionals collaborate on each case.
The club goes several steps beyond regular personal training. It’s an entire health ecosystem that addresses each healthy concern with care. At about $20,000 a year (often covered partly by insurance or HSA), it’s priced well below concierge competitors, who charge $30,000 or more for a narrower scope.
Take a common issue like shoulder pain. At most health clubs, you’d be told to rest it, stretch it, or push through. At Monarch, it’s a structured protocol.
First comes a dual evaluation: one by a physical therapist and one by the strength team. They test for movement limitations and strength imbalances. Then, the medical team reviews bloodwork for inflammatory markers. The nutritionist steps in with an anti-inflammatory food plan. Strength coaches tailor training to avoid aggravation. The PT team prescribes targeted rehab drills. All of it is tracked and shared internally.
No confusion. No double-booking. No wasting weeks on bad advice. Just one system, updated in real time, with people who communicate with each other, ensuring the best results.
Every part of the model is designed to eliminate friction. Medical-grade compliance lets them integrate deeper health data, like labs and diagnostics. The one-on-one service keeps it personal. The shared system means no one drops the ball.
Clients don’t repeat their story to five different people, they don’t get a different plan depending on who’s available, and they’re never left trying to figure it out alone. Communicating internally, the staff regularly checks in and shares information to help progress each client.
Monarch’s core services cover the big pillars of long-term health:
Every team member is a full-time W2 employee. That’s rare in this industry.
Trainers, therapists, and clinicians aren’t chasing clients or clocking sessions. They’re salaried, with benefits, and supported with continuing education opportunities. That includes workshops, certifications, and in-house development. The culture is collaborative on and off the floor.
People work across departments because the client’s health demands it. Nikki Ogaard, in charge of marketing and brand development at Monarch, said her favorite part of working for Monarch was the company culture. There’s no seniority war. A DPT can learn from a coach, and a coach can lean on a doctor. Everyone’s opinion is respected, and it shows in the outcomes.
Monarch started in West Hollywood with 200 members. Their Brentwood flagship now has over 300. Playa Vista is opening soon, with more locations in planning. Each site is built with the same approach: full integration, real professionals, and a culture that values doing the work right. If you’re interested in a career with Monarch, you can find available opportunities through Marketplace by Coach360.
Most people don’t fail at health because they’re lazy. They fail because the system around them is broken. There’s no roadmap, and no one to follow up when it falls apart.
Monarch addresses that. By combining care under one roof and ensuring all teams talk, they give people something they’ve never really had: a system that makes sense. It’s simple, effective, and refreshingly honest.
You don’t need a dozen apps. You don’t need seven separate providers. You need one team that works together, and Monarch provides exactly that.
Health outcomes improve drastically when each branch comes from one rooted space. Monarch’s model proves that clarity and coordination matter when it comes to creating the healthiest version of ourselves or our clients. Its members succeed because someone removed the guesswork from improving wellness and created actionable, condensed healthcare under one roof.
The real breakthrough is the elimination of mixed messages and action plans. When your physical therapist, personal trainer, doctor, and nutritionist share the same informationand work toward a unified goal, progress is made, and members are happy.
