Why Circuit Works?

THE BRAND

Circuit Works opened its first location in Los Angeles in 2006 with the goal to help all people discover their inner athlete and to take their results to a new level. The Circuit Works mantra that everyone is an athlete has led people of all ages and fitness levels to achieve results in a fun, non-competitive and supportive environment. 

Led by top-notch instructors, our quality classes and unyielding commitment to innovation, integrity, and quality has earned us the respect of our clients, partners, and communities. Circuit Works now serves over 15,000 clients in Santa Monica and the greater Los Angeles area. 

Our Team

Raphael Verela, CEO & Founder

Raphael Verela, the owner and creator of Circuit Works training center in Los Angeles, was first introduced to circuit training in the Marine Corps. He grew to love how athletic it was and the dynamism that came with switching quickly from resistance to cardio in less than three minutes. After his six years of service in the Marines, including service in Operation Desert Storm he studied exercise physiology at Oregon State University.

Through his studies, Raphael Verela learned that the reason circuit training is so effective is because it combines two of the body’s exercise systems, which is proven to increase the stored fat expenditure by over 500%. This leads to fast weight-loss and improved muscle tone. When he began his work in the fitness industry, Raphael used circuit training for a wide range of clients, from celebrities and sports specific athletes to moms, college students and people who were looking for a challenge with the support of a personal trainer.

Raphael created Los Angeles-based fitness studio Circuit Works in 2006 to help all people discover their inner athlete and to take their results to a new level. The Circuit Works model of fitness has completely taken off and now serves over 15,000 clients in and around Los Angeles. At Circuit Works, everyone is an athlete and we offer people of all ages and fitness levels the healthiest and fastest way to get results.

Our pervasive web presence, as well as our growing reputation, gives all our franchisees an instant, immediate presence in their territory.
