I am in my mid-40s, and my body is not the same anymore. As someone who must stay active, working with Randy and his team can keep you on the go, safe and strong. This gym is very legit. I was very impressed by it. I can not recommend them enough. Stay strong and safe.

Randy, the owner of Royal Blue Fitness, stands out as a leader who’s doing things right in the world of health and strength. His focus isn’t just on lifting more or looking better—it’s on helping people truly understand their bodies and build strength that lasts. He’s created something rare: a welcoming, structured environment where people of all ages and abilities can feel seen, supported, and challenged. What makes Randy so referable is his clarity of mission. He’s not just running a gym—he’s building a movement rooted in education, confidence, and real results. The Royal Blue Progression Model reflects that thoughtfulness, offering a path that empowers people to move better and live better. If you’re looking for someone who cares about people first and fitness second (but still does both brilliantly), Randy’s your guy. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Pros: Visionary leader with a clear purpose Deep commitment to education and empowerment Focuses on long-term strength, not quick fixes Builds genuine community and support Clear, structured approach through the Progression Model Cons: None—Randy raises the standard for what fitness leadership should be!

Pre and post-surgery, working with Randy as my trainer has been amazing! I can't thank Randy enough for helping me build muscle and gain more flexibility in preparation for my hip replacement surgery. Because of Randy's expertise and guidance, I was up and moving in no time! And now, post-surgery, Randy's helping me strengthen muscles and regain the mobility I had before the hip pain slowed me down.

Randy is amazing! He has made working out fun and rewarding. I have had 3 knee surgeries and have always felt like it is a huge weakness and limits certain things I can do working out. Randy has made it a priority to help strengthen my knees and helps to tailor work outs for me! My best friend and I have been seeing Randy for 3 months now and we are excited to continue training with him for at least the next year if not more!

Ive had my trainer at Royal blue fitness since 2018. His knowledge base in anatomy and physiology and kinesiology has greatly enhanced my quality of life by leaps and bounds. I have found Randy’s teaching style and ability to communicate to be helpful, clear, and easy to understand. During covid i gained 30 lbs. We worked on improving my nutrition with delicious meal plans and I lost the 30 lbs I had gained from covid in about 8 months. I’m very grateful to have Randy for guidance. He keeps me healthy and moving.

Strength Training for Osteoporosis: The Beginner’s Plan After a DEXA Diagnosis

By Randy Nguyen • February 3, 2026
You went in for a routine checkup. Someone ordered a DEXA scan. You expected a quick “all good,” but the report came back with a word that hits hard: osteoporosis. Then you did what most people do. You looked it up. Over and over, you saw the same advice: “Do weight training.” And instead of feeling relieved, you felt stuck. Because nobody tells you what weight training actually means for bones, how it’s different than “getting exercise,” or how to start if you have never lifted. If that’s you, this article is for you.  By the end, you’ll understand what “weight-bearing” really means, why strength training differs from cardio and classes, what to do in your first 8 to 12 weeks, and what results you can realistically expect.

Postpartum Workout Plan for Recovery: 6 Core Rebuilding Moves We Use With Clients

By Randy Nguyen • January 30, 2026
If you’re postpartum and you miss feeling strong in your own body, you’re not asking for too much. You’re asking for a plan that respects healing and still moves you forward. Many online postpartum workout plans for recovery are just lists. Lists can help, but they usually skip the two things that make postpartum training actually work: (1) quick screening, and (2) progression rules. At Royal Blue Fitness, we keep the simplicity, then add structure and coaching. These are six core rebuilding moves we return to again and again because our experience shows they’re easy to learn, they scale well, and clients consistently tell us they feel better after doing them.  If you’re in Pleasant Hill (or nearby in the East Bay), this is the same foundation we use to help postpartum clients rebuild strength with confidence.
