Robert Hovsepyan
Who you'll train with

I'm Robert, the NASM-certified trainer behind Black Box, a private, fully equipped one-on-one training facility in Sun Valley. My start in fitness was personal: I lost about 60 pounds, and my life improved so much in the process. That's what pulled me into coaching. I got certified, started training clients at a local gym, and eventually built Black Box. Having been on the other side of it, I know what it's like to start from scratch. Since then I've worked with people of all ages and backgrounds, from complete beginners to experienced lifters, plus plenty getting back into it after time away or an injury. Every session is built around your goals, your schedule, and your body.

FAQ

Questions I get asked.

If something isn't covered here,  just message or text me so I can answer you directly.

Where are you located?
The studio is in Sun Valley, CA, a fully equipped private gym rather than a commercial floor. Sessions are private, with no crowds and no waiting on equipment. Clients travel in from Burbank, Glendale, North Hollywood, Tujunga, Sunland, and La Cañada Flintridge.
Do you train beginners?
Absolutely. A significant part of my client base are people who are new to structured training or returning to fitness after a break or injury. Programs are built from scratch around where you are right now.
I'm coming back from an injury. Can you work around it?
Yes, and it's a large part of what I do. Programs get built around your restrictions rather than ignoring them. We work with what moves well, train around what doesn't, and progress as things improve. I'll ask about your history before we start and adjust as we go. If something's under a doctor's or physical therapist's care, I'll work alongside those instructions rather than against them.
How does pricing work?
Rates are set per client based on how often you train. The more consistent the schedule, the lower the per-session rate. Sessions are booked in packages rather than one at a time, and there's no membership fee, no contract, and no cancellation penalty. We'd sort out specifics after your first session, once you've actually trained in the space and we both know what schedule makes sense for you.
What does the first session look like?
Mostly conversation and assessment. I'll ask about your goals, your training history, any injuries or restrictions you're working around, and what your schedule realistically allows. That's what the program gets built from. Then we move: some light work to see how your body actually moves, and enough testing to find a sensible starting point. You'll train, but you won't get buried. Real intensity usually starts around the second or third session, once I know what I'm working with.
