GYM NO. 4, annex and the weight room is beautiful! The aesthetics are on point: the turf, the weights, the wood, and the brick! Coach Caitlin Hogan is beyond amazing! Exceptional coaching and fun workouts. She gives you the answers to your why questions before you even think to ask why! Drop in and try out the annex or the weight room for yourself. read more

If you're looking for an awesome place to workout, stop looking around, this is what you will never forget. They are all super helpful and I'm so happy that our community has such an amazing gym. The atmosphere is perfect, deals are super tempting and I'm super happy with my plan. read more

The community here is welcoming and the facility is top notch. Co-owner Caitlin is a wonderful, energetic positive person that is open to bringing in yoga and mindfulness to her community. I highly recommend Fourth Street Annex. read more

See all

I can't believe how lucky I am to have this gym so near where I live! I've been training here for about 4 months now, and I can see and feel all the amazing progress I've made. I only wish I'd only found it sooner! I've been to and heard of gyms who push you into hurting yourself, but there is always a top-notch trainer (Caitlin's an ACTUAL Olympian) helping to correct form issues and give you pro-tips. Everyone is out to get better here, and I can see the level of care of the owners reflected in the quality of equipment, trainers, and the daily programming. I cannot recommend this gym enough!! read more

Simply the best gym in town! The trainers are on point and they ensure you get a solid workout every single time. Most importantly you feel that they are invested in you and there's a genuine family-like feeling that is hard to find these days. Long story short I've been searching for an environment like this and a friend of ours recommended this place and I think my search is finally over at this point! You'll see a lot of motivational and inspirational individuals from all walks of life in this place and a lot of regulars that have been a part if this family for years! That's always a great sign... Membership: Of course, we all have a budget and you need to do what's going to work for YOU. Our body is a temple and thus investment will have a huge return and a well attended body and sole will lead to better mood and clear thinking and more productive work and life balance which ultimately leads to success... you do the rest of the math..... Personally, I feel that every penny is worth it and I have no regrets. Once you are done with your trial classes and sign up for a membership you will be given access to an app where you can see the class schedules along with WOD and signup by clicking on the desired class. In case you're not sure they offer monthly plans! Monday-Friday: First class starts at 5:30 AM and last class is at 7 PM. Saturday & Sunday: Weekends are usually dedicated to specialty classes such as mobility and fun activities such as beach workout. Group size: classes are usually capped out around 10 people unless it's a session that won't require a lot of space...so make sure to reserve your spot using the app and plan ahead. There's also a weightlifting part that I haven't tried yet but you can have access to it for an additional small monthly fee and best of all there's always a coach there to make sure you're on top of your game! read more

As a long time crossfit gym member, instructor, and lifestyle weightlifter, let me say that Fourth Street Annex (aka Gym No 4?) is a great place to get some fitnessing in! It's very clean, members are friendly, the instructors are thorough in explanation, attentive, and knowledgeable. I was in town for a conference for a few days and Fourth Street Annex was recommended to me by a friend. I went to two of the "train" classes and both days were completely different workouts that were a good balance of strength and cardio. I also got in some oly work with Ali and Noel, which was nothing short of awesome! read more

Time to cancel all other memberships and accomplish your fitness goals WHILE HAVING FUN AT IT! Seriously, this gym is worth the membership and if you are skeptical, they do offer a free trial week. Caitlyn and her team truly make up the gym. They are each incredibly fit, practice what they preach, and provide a tremendous amount of attention to you. The workouts are programmed in monthly themed blocks to ensure you continue to be challenged by variety, yet you will experience a workout individual to your own capabilities with the rallying support of the community they have built. Spend the money. Do the work. Make new friends. Love yourself and the new energy for life you will have from coming here. read more

As many others who work out here, I have done a fair amount of crossfit in the past. I have had to stop crossfitting twice due to injury and didn't think I would find a way to build strength and endurance while also avoiding injury. Since starting to attend the Annex, I've found that not only have I avoided injury, minor aches and mains have almost disappeared! I love that the programing is designed to deliver a powerful workout while helping me avoid injury so I can keep at it. I feel great since I've been coming to the Annex and I always look forward to my next workout. The coaches all do a wonderful job and also are very mindful of my bad knees and make great suggestions on how I can make minor changes in certain movements so that I can remain comfortable during the workout. read more

Me and my son were visiting Long Beach and dropped in to do a morning class at the Annex before we headed home! It's a very fun workout and the peeps were super cool about visitors. They offered Oly Lifting classes with very nice set up and awesome equipment too! I would love to join them for the Lifting class next time when I come down there! Highly recommended this little gem in the area read more

Annex Training Center - Thank you for the awesome coaching! - Boot Camps Near Me - Signal Hill, California

I can do this kind of workout at home in my office or out in the park why does anyone need a ego driving trainer who has belly fat leading a bunch of us to lunges and pulls in the air . Bleh read more

If you're reading this you have found the last gym you'll ever need or ever want to go to. I came here after meeting the coach at a Crossfit gym. I knew that my time was over at the crossfit gym I was at and I was looking for a change because I felt like I didn't have goals that were complimented by the programming. After starting here at Gym No. 4 I've been learning more about my body (I still am) and how to alter goals so I don't plateau. This facility has pretty much anything you need to get your move on. PROS: - Programmed by an Olympic Weightlifting National Champion, Caitlin Hogan. - Can't beat the pricing!! Fantastic access and facility for price. I can actually afford to come here on an educator's salary - Over 6 different classes all programmed a month in advance - Programming produces results and makes sense - Dedicated coaches that know what they are talking about - Coaches that pay attention to your movements not just how much you can lift off the ground - Super clean with antibacterial wipes for equipment. So many gyms don't do this. Gross - 100% positive atmosphere - Haven't really had any issues with cliques - Two different workout rooms with a long green grass strip (love it) - Lifting area - Class area - 2 bathrooms - Protein Bar (shakes, etc) - Coaches understand injuries and can accommodate workouts - Nutritional programming - Coaches are mindful of you, what you've been doing, and will advise you in changing some of your programs to better meet your fitness goals CONS: - I don't like doing math with weights in kilos. - Posted daily operating hours inside facility for special people like myself **Overall I've been incredibly happy since I started here and I look forward to going. read more

I absolutely love training here. The coaches are amazing and the owner, Caitlin Hogan, is AMAZING! Did I mention that's she's a weightlifting champion?! I am somewhat uncoordinated and she is so patient with me. She teaches the proper way to lift and her programming is fantastic. I take her Strength Training classes and I will never go to another gym again. This gym is a perfect fit for me and my schedule. read more

I'm on my second week of classes at Fourth Street Annex and couldn't be more impressed with the facility, coaching and classes. I already feel my body making positive changes, and I love how the coaches allow you to go at your own pace without feeling guilty. Overall, I'm hooked and can't wait to see where my new membership takes me. read more

So look. This isn't going to be a bullshit review of a bullshit place. I'm not fitness guy. The Annex is the 2nd real gym I've ever been a member of, and the other one went out of business. I've been going here for about 3 weeks now, and I think it's been open for a couple months. They're intense but friendly. It's the kind of place that absolutely supports you meeting your goals, but also challenges you to surpass them and set new ones. They've helped me lose weight while (more importantly) helping me feel fitter, tighter, and more like someone who gets moving in the morning. Every single workout has goals set that are almost attainable; just barely out of reach, keeping you striving to push harder. The exercises themselves are varied, full-body movements. They don't seem to bog you down in the same 15 variations of crunches and curls. I *know* I've gotten stronger as a result of working out at the Annex, and I know that if I keep my regimen up, I'll get even more in shape. It's nice being able to see your muscles =D Seriously, a great place with great people. read more

Update: I've been here for several months now, and the workouts still keep me on my toes, and the gains have been continuous--I've increased my back squat and deadlift by 30 pounds on both (to name a few), after a long, frustrating plateau before I started working out here. Highly recommended. I hate giving away Long Beach's best kept secret, but it's time I share the love. After years of being an avid crossfitter, my doctor pulled the plug on it due to my aging body. Enter the Annex. Who would have known so much awesome could be packed into a neighborhood gym. They offer group class based exercises for every level and fitness goal. Their main class, Train, is masterfully programmed so that whether you've never touched a dumbbell before, or a fitness veteran, you'll be safely developing strength, building muscle, and burning calories right from the get go. Beyond that, they offer a whole buffet of strength and conditioning classes for whatever your specific goals may be--strength training, cardio classes, Olympic lift technique classes and more. All taught by skillful, spirited, positive coaches that will push you through to the last rep--with good form. It's such a gift having this crew of dedicated, world class coaches right here in Long Beach offering their knowledge, encouragement, and experience to the community--you can't put a price on that. I can't recommend them enough, so go try them out yourself and feel your body transform. read more

I am a new member of 4th St. Annex and I have enjoyed the training very much. The coaches are all friendly and awesome and they are all very knowledgeable. I love it! They also have Bootcamp and it's a kick a**class. Two thumbs up for this gym. read more

This place is amazing!!!! I did Crossfit for 4 years and was really nervous to quit, but am so glad I did and am so glad I joined this gym. While I loved Crossfit, it's rare to find a Crossfit gym that focuses more on technique and mastering skills. I was always just told to "add more weight" despite my inefficiencies. That's a recipe for an injury and also terrible in terms of muscle memory. Also, after digging into what it takes to become a "coach" I couldn't consign any longer. Anyway, the coaches at this gym are freaking amazing! I mostly take Caitlin and Brian's classes and I cannot rave enough about them. They are legit and both know what they are talking about!!! You can tell they aren't just in it for the money. There's all sorts of classes to keep you from getting bored and Caitlin is always incorporating new exercises and her training programs actually make sense. I can't say enough good things about this place. You need to join asap!!!!!!! read more
