Fitness, Massage, and Rehabilitation

Terrence W Smith

I’m Terry Smith, the proud owner of T. Smith Fitness & Massage, a multifaceted company that has been assisting clients achieve their fitness and wellness goals for over 15 years and growing.

I provide client-centered, health and wellness services customized to dedicated, goal-oriented people with a spectrum of goals and reasonings for their journey. 

My passion began at an early age excelling in sports like track and field and boxing. I later converted the same drive as an athlete to deepening my knowledge in fitness and recovery. Fast forward - I have grown a trusted and successful career through my understanding of the body’s anatomy delivering strengthening and recovery methods for optimal living as we age.

With a genuine passion for helping others, I have learned and tailored the most effective approaches to meet the individual requirements to my clients, adapting exercises or massage techniques accordingly.

MY COMMITMENT

My commitment defines my purpose. I am invested in helping people and give my all to contribute to your journey by discovering and teaching my clients through recovery massages and fitness workout plans. I empower my clients to achieve the best quality of life holistically to better their total wellness, vitality and self- discovery.  I will consult with you to assure your personalized fitness training/ recovery and/or therapeutic massage sessions are targeting the aches and pains in response to our bodies communicating to us. We must heal- not maintain.

With my client-centered approach, I will support you by understanding any previous injuries, longstanding limitations, or perhaps other past or current physical conditions in our consult.

The second step is that I will design your individually-tailored program that provide a “fitness foundation”. We– as a team– will get to the root of a problem and work through the highs and lows, together.

We make a game plan and move through the different elements that support your fitness journey and/or health and recovery treatments.

It’s never too late to pay attention to your body and what it’s telling you.

Cupping Therapy is a form of alternative medicine and traditional practice in various cultures. Cupping releases deep pain, improves blood flow, muscle tension, promotes relief and relations. Cupping will release toxins and promotes the flow of lymphatic fluids- detoxing your body and pain.

  1. Pain Relief: Alleviates muscle and joint pain by increasing blood flow to the area.

  2. Relaxation: Induces relaxation, reducing both physical and mental tension.

  3. Improved Circulation: Stimulates blood flow, aiding in healing and nutrient delivery.

  4. Detoxification: Proponents of cupping therapy suggest that the suction created by the cups draws toxins and impurities to the surface of the skin, where they can then be eliminated by the body's natural processes.

  5. Reduced Inflammation: Helps reduce inflammation, beneficial for conditions like arthritis, chronic pain, pinched nerves and extremely tight and sore muscles.

  6. Enhanced Immune Function: Supports overall immune function by promoting relaxation and circulation.

“As a personal trainer who has worked with Terry for a few years at Fitness Factory in West Hollywood. When I was training for my first marathon I started finding all sorts of new aches, pains and minor injuries. I had broken my right foot in several places 2 years prior to this marathon so I was very nervous and experiencing all sorts of pains. I asked Terry for help right away! I met with him each week after every long run and it made all the difference in the world. He found tight muscles and trigger points I didn’t even know were affecting my running. He improved my flexibility, range of motion and help minimize my pain. I know without question that if I hadn’t worked with Terry during my marathon training that I would have limped across the finish line. Instead it was an enjoyable process and I felt great! Terry not only knows how to manipulate the muscle to work for you not against you, but he’s a great motivator and encourager. He was on my team through my entire training schedule and I’ll be calling him when I start training for my second marathon in a week!”
— Becky Jennings, Certified Personal Trainer
“Terry has provided me with endless challenges in the 12 years that he’s been training me, but the latest assignment he’s given me might be the toughest: encapsulating that experience in just a few sentences. I am no jock, but I look forward to getting up early every Saturday to spend one of the best hours of my week working out with Terry. My muscles ache, but do I mind? No, because we are having so much fun.

— Michele Loud, Senior Writer for Jeopardy
“I’ve had several personal personal trainers and massage therapist over the years and Terry is the most well rounded one that I have worked with. I had quite a few issues I was dealing with ( back, shoulder and neck ) when I first started working with him and because of his multiple skill set Terry was able to help me with all of them. His attention to detail is what impressed me the most when I first started to work with him. With Terry’s guidance I was able to over come my issues and continue to exercise without any problems. I highly recommend Terry for any goals you may be trying to achieve.”
— Chad Tons, CEO of Infinity Marketing Team
“When I began working out with Terry four years ago, I was making twice-weekly visits to the chiropractor and was beginning to think that pain and limited mobility were a way of life. In desperation, I turned to Terry – who came highly recommended by a friend – and I am so glad I did! Four years later, I am in the best shape of my life and haven’t been to the chiropractor since.Terry understands how our muscular system works, resolved my pain, and set me on the path to fitness. Our workouts are a challenge, but Terry is encouraging and fun to be around and I know I am in great hands!”
— Jennifer Haughland, Licensing manager for Wheel of Fortune
“Terry Smith is awesome and will truly customize your workout. Whether you are a mom hoping to get Michelle Obama arms, or a teenager trying to get fit, Terry will give you both a great fitness regime. My son and I both love that he listens to our concerns and adapts the workout to fit our needs and fitness levels.”
— Janet Feeley
“Terry has been an unwavering support during some of my most physically demanding moments. I haven’t found anyone in LA with his ability to pinpoint and alleviate my pains from my injuries.
I appreciate not only his mastery of technique, but also how he breaks things down so I get it, which helps me stay on track when I’m not in his studio.
I’m seriously grateful for the progress I’ve made under his guidance – and his dedication to my recovery and wellness journey. I couldn’t ask for better treatment and care. ”
