We're getting visibly stronger while also learning so much about proper form and how to avoid injury. I came in with some chronic back pain that flared up with any exercise I did, and now I'm back on my feet, feeling a lot better and slowly starting to be able to lift heavier again. Bayo definitely knows a lot about functional fitness which I love because in my mid-40's I not only want to be in great shape now, I want to keep moving well in to my 70's and 80's. He's also got a lovely, kind personality but just because he's super nice don't think he'll go soft on you, you will work hard! He also gives great tips on diet and recovery that really help round out your training. The gym itself is bright and sunny, and immaculately kept. Lot's of great equipment and variety so you won't get bored. If you're looking to get in great shape and enjoy doing it I highly recommend this place!

That's completely false. There are several restrooms and I've never had to wait. The overall aesthetic of this place is top tier. The equipment is high quality, well maintained, and there's plenty of space to train. The gym is split into two sides and now they even have MAD Pilates, which is a great addition. So far, I haven't had to wait for equipment once. Even when it's busy, I've still been able to get a full workout in without issues. That's a huge difference compared to the gym up the street (Chuze), where you'll often see groups of people camping on the same machine. On weekends I come right when the doors open and it's about as empty as it gets. Perfect way to start the day. One warning though: don't try the peanut butter and jelly shake... unless you want to get hooked. It's that good. The turkey wrap is also a solid option. The staff has been amazing and welcoming since day one. Overall experience so far: 10/10. Highly recommended

The fans are not on, so there's no relief when the heat is running. I mean really how cold can it get in SoCal where the heater needs to be on full blast Also, it would really help if staff wore something identifiable, like a uniform shirt. There have been a few times I wanted to purchase a protein shake, but I couldn't tell who worked there or who to ask for help. Lastly, there have been times when there were no wipes available to clean the machines. Overall, still a great gym, just a few small improvements that would make a big difference!

This is a solid gym, I guess. It's pretty much the most affordable one in the neighborhood. Around…read morehere, we don't have many options. It's either this gym or LA Fitness (or risking your safety at the local park). This is considered a "trash gym" by many, but you gotta go where you gotta go. The location is solid; it is accessible by about 4 buses: 611, 111, 102, and Florence-Firestone Link (the pink bus that comes like once every hour). It is also across the street from Plaza Alameda. As for the gym itself, signing up is pretty easy; you can do it online and link your card or bank information. Canceling is the hard part; you have to do it in person. It's not like a Netflix subscription. It's best to use the app's QR code to check in. Working out at the gym itself, it has its peak periods and slow periods. Based on my personal experiences, compared to LA Fitness, this gym is, on average, less crowded (aside from peak periods). It's not as big as the location on Central and Washington, but it works. In the summer, you have groups of teen boys hogging up the weight machines, on their phones, doing nothing. I suggest bringing your own equipment, if you can. Or, at the very least, clean and sanitize the communal mats and return/rerack free weights, barbells, fitness and BOSU balls, mats, and kettlebells. The reason I say this is that some of the people who go to this gym lack gym etiquette. You've got assholes here, toxic gymbros, perverts leering at women working out, etc., but most people who go here work out and mind their own business. I go here because it's a beginner/casual-friendly gym. Everyone here is kind of doing their own thing, or isn't too big on fitness culture. It's not a lot of "sweats," if you get the meme.

He's not only the most knowledgeable personal trainer I've met but his ability to tell you what your imbalances/weakness is second to none. He's the type of trainer who will design a plan which is correct for you based off his assessment, not just give you the same cookie cutter work out that you may find from other trainers. My story: I came in with hip pain/stiffness and some lower back stiffness. My goals were to reduce the stiffness/pain, increase my mobility, my flexibility, my strength and focus on long term health. I'd tried stretching, mobility exercises and working with other trainers but didn't have any significant improvement. Paul did an assessment on me, and without having to give any additional information he could tell where I was having issues. After working with Paul for a few short weeks, my back stiffness and hip pain are completely gone and my hip stiffness continues to improve each week. Because I no longer have those previous ailments now I can focus on athletic movements and building muscle. He constantly reassesses the progress I make and adjusts my workouts to ensure growth. It's the best investment I've made. If you're looking for someone intelligent, non judgmental, and excellent at their craft, I would recommend giving Paul a try.

If you want the obstacle course it's an additional $10 per person for 55 mins (super short). If you want to kayak, use the aqua bike or use the paddleboard it's an additional $10 per equipment/item. There is a kiddie area for small and young children. They DO NOT allow outside food or drinks except water! There is a small shop that sells misc. items, snacks & drinks (overpriced). They also had a foodtruck inside that was expensive and the meals didn't come with drinks. They do have plenty of staff and lifeguards there. The entrance fee should of been $15-20. The obstacle course atleast 90-120 mins instead of the 55 mins. Wish the foodtruck came with drinks and was a bigger portion.

My older son loved it so much that he is now becoming a Junior Leader, which says everything about how meaningful Cali Camp has been for him. My younger son, who is in 2nd grade, went for the first time last year and is already so excited to go back. What really stood out to me was how quickly they both adapted. My younger son joined not knowing anyone and felt welcomed almost immediately. Both of my boys felt included from day one. The staff is incredibly caring, supportive, and attentive. You can truly feel that they work hard to create a safe, joyful environment for the kids, and as a parent that means everything. The activities are fantastic: well planned, age appropriate, engaging, and fun. The natural setting is also beautiful and feels especially important these days. My boys came home with confidence, stories, friendships, and summer memories they will cherish forever. And the camp spirit is real. We still sing the silly songs at home, especially the announcements song whenever we have a family announcement, and the birthday song too. I cannot recommend Cali Camp enough. It has been such a special part of our family's life.

But it now caters to a younger crowd and has substantial co-working space. I've certain found more members using the facilities but also discovered quite a bit of new programmings like the Pilates classes, mahjong club, live jazz performances and movie nights. I was not really sure about the change at the beginning but I am now fully embracing the new LAAC. Many of the staff and members have been here for a long time and it is nice to be greeted by familiar faces when coming to the club. The restaurants are pretty decent. Love to top my salad with a nice piece of salmon after workout at the Famous Players or have a tasty glass of scotch while enjoying the live jazz performance at the Invention. The sports bar Duke's has great happy hours and fun monthly evening karaoke or chess club meetings. The only thing I complain about is the need for shock absorbance and insulation of the noise or moving the weight station. The northwest corner of the Famous Players near Olive Street shakes every time the weightlifters drop their weights, which is very annoying and distracting for the diners. Feel like the ceiling or floor is going to drop out. No joke. For now, I would sit as far away from the northwest corner as I possibly can. But hope the club would look into it. I have been trying to sign up for the monthly wine tasting but they are always full. Maybe consider having the event more frequently or scale up? Regardless, I am still exploring all the new offerings at the club and really pleased with the Pilates classes and the live music performances. Although I am apprehensive when I first see the co-working space and the influx of new members, I now appreciate the additional events and classes that come with the new members and hope the club continues to do well and do better as I am here to stay.

As usual, water in the room costs money, and there are a few other products with hidden price tags in the room, too. Surprisingly, toothbrush and toothpaste was not provided. The water for showering also doesn't get too hot. In terms of the athletic space, the machines were very easy to access. There was never a wait even on weekend afternoons. The lap pool was my favorite part - clean and calm. There was some miscommunication between the lobby and the store, as one said there is no reservation system but there in fact was. But even when told all the lanes were fully reserved, more than half weren't in use. Parking is a bit of a hassle; for non-members it's definitely not worth it. At the time of visit, the parking machine wasn't working. There are also sperate elevators for parking vs the athletic club / hotel area which was a little confusing. The stair numbers also didn't coordinate the best with actual level.

This is the "Brandon Special" by Esther, not on the menu. I don't know what's in it but it's delish.
