It is a bit of a hassle having to go 3 floors down in a somewhat narrow environment - if you have a large SUV or lift truck, I wouldn't think you can fit. The bright side is- As your normally do - the gym is very clean and during weekday evenings nights, it is not too busy (I think it is due to location). Parking - you must go down the one way street of flower OR END UP DRIVING AROUND TO GET TO THE ONE WAY STREET.

But the location itself is meh. They aren't open late and they're closed on Sundays. I also hate the parking situation and how complicated it can be to get to the building itself with DTLA roads. On top of that, it's only 2 hours free parking. Anything over you have to pay. I wish they had a sauna... and some of their equipment could be upgraded. All in all, the location itself is why I don't care to go here anymore.

Just when I thought I loved the Pasadena location, this one might actually take the cake…read more The service was great from the moment I walked in; the front desk staff was so sweet and welcoming. I'd had a bad experience at the Pasadena studio with a girl named Megan, so I decided to try a different location, and I'm so glad I did. This studio is waaaay cleaner. The mat towels smelled fresh, everything felt sanitized, and the space was clearly well taken care of. My instructor, Jimmy, delivered an amazing workout, he incorporated moves I've never seen before and actually walked around correcting form, which is rare in larger fitness classes. He was fun, energetic, and really set the tone. Playlist was baddie certified! LOVED him! I also appreciated how well maintained everything was, soaps fully stocked, cozy studio rooms, and an overall vibe that felt intentional and inviting. I think this might be my new go to location. I don't even mind the drive :)

Cleanliness at this specific location could definitely be better maintained. The mat I rented that day was a bit smelly, and the towel was too, which wasn't great.

I'd probably avoid this particular location moving forward though, that's all.

Then we get into the fact that they have towel service and 2 showers!. Yes you do have to sign up for the showers and girls if it's hair wash day they have blow dryers for you to use. Full service in this location. Then we get into the class which has an open studio policy 10 minute before class. Coach Dave was awesome today. The class itself was a 2g which I typically don't like but was able to get through it no complaints. This would definitely be my 2nd choice for when I need to be in dtla if my home OTF or favorite coach isn't teaching.

Amazing class, wish I'd tried Orange Theory sooner!…read more I took an hour long class with Melany yesterday, and I was amazed! The variety of workouts targeting different zones in the session truly makes it a multi-dimensional workout that keeps you engaged (I get bored easily lol). My FAVORITE part about the workout is the heart monitoring! As a fit, athletic woman who has asthma, I'm always pushed harder than I should because coaches assume I can always do more because I look super fit! But the heart rate monitors allow us to see our rates, and there is color coding that helps the instructor keep us in a healthy range. Melany was VERY attentive to this, and had me lower my speed in order to come back down from "RED" zone when we were in resting/recovery periods before jumping back to high intensity. This made the workout feel so safe for me, and I ended up getting the most splat points my first time here! I'll definitely be back! My only note would be to CHECK THE ADDRESS of the location in your text/email. I typed Orange Theory DTLA in my navigation and it brought me to the "south park" location, which is also downtown. I almost missed my class altogether after having to commute from South Park to the DTLA location.

Sum Up: No mirrors. Dark room. Learn the flow...and then it's all yours…read more Vibe & Music: James Blake - Through The High Wire. There's space in the track: Minimal instrumentation & pauses that matter. (Foreshadowing the class.) The Space: Minimal/Somewhat Industrial. Front Entrance: Matte black wood, clean lines A simple check-in Props stacked right outside the room The Yoga Room: Dark. Black walls. Candlelight. No mirrors. Plenty of space between mats. (The darkness pulls you inside your space, inward.) The Class: WeFlowHard Vinyasa w/Kelly Choi We started on our backs. Kelly brought everyone into the same place: Breath. Then lightly layered in core, just enough to wake up the body and connect you inward. From there, the structure takes over: Each flow builds in three rounds: Round 1: Slow, both sides You learn it Round 2: Breath & movement You feel it Round 3: All Yours You dance it out in your rhythm You're trusted to move as a collective or at your own pace. No pressure either way. Each Flow: Flow 1: Warm-up Flow 2: Short, connective sequence Flow 3: Balance & focus layered in (Example: One-Legged Mountain Pose Airplane Shiva squat Half Moon keep going...) Just enough to hold your attention...and then release it. We finished off with light core, stretching & then suddenly...savasana. The Teacher: Kelly Choi Calm. Steady. Easy to Follow. English cueing followed by Sanskrit. She sets the rhythm and lets the structure do the work. Because you're listening to remember, your mind stays engaged enough that time disappears. Genuinely, the fastest 60-minute class. What I Noticed: It's not intense, but the structure works. Once slow. Once a little quicker. By the third round, you're not really thinking anymore. Your body remembers. Your breath takes over. And then you're just moving. (Think less, feel more.) Practical Notes: Free parking lot Lockers (with locks) Private, gender-neutral bathrooms & showers Mats & towels available for rent Props right outside the infrared yoga room The room never got too hot, just enough heat for a light sweat.
