The sessions are fun, motivating, and thoughtfully designed. You can train one-on-one, with a partner, or in a small group, which makes it super flexible. Highly recommend if you want a coach who's knowledgeable, encouraging, and genuinely invested in your progress! When you're in a partner session, you still feel very supported as she is consistently providing you workouts and feedback on form and areas of improvement! Price wise, you can't beat her session cost! Check her out!

They have great music, cool choreography, and just enough in your face to make for a rewarding workout. This is the class that's getting me back in shape. Last night they hosted Zumba After Dark.

Grounded Werks: You are the lucky winner of my 200th review, hoorayyyyyy!…read more These 2 ladies are GREAT! Seriously, what an inspiration and invaluable asset the community! A couple months ago, a dancer friend of mine told me about a free Zumba class Tuesday nights at 7:30 at the Baldwin Hills Plaza. * Me: Adrianne, are you kidding me?!?! A class in a mall??? Let alone at the Crenshaw Mall? Ummmm, I don't know about that... * Adrianne: No, Jess trust me this class is GOOD! It's like urban Zumba and these ladies be workin it in there! There's younger teenagers and older senior ladies and even some men too! All in there groovin and getting in shape. And it's free too, girl, you can't beat free! Just come! * Me: Ok I'll go with you next week, but look if this is whack and I wasted my gas driving out there, I'm gonna be pissed! * Adrianne: I promise you're gonna love it! And come early because the class is capped at 200 ppl and it gets full quick! Welp, good thing I didn't bet my last dollar with my dear Adrianne. I LOVED it! Loved, loved, loved it! If you've read my reviews for Island Groove you'll know that I don't mess around when it comes to class that offers a good workout. In fact, I can't stand a wimpy class that doesn't make me sweat buckets or make my thighs tremble. Mychele and Debi do a great job of making us drip sweat, burn calories, laugh, and keeping the crowd motivated. The class is seriously fun, and its follow-the-leader style so even if you have 2 left feet you can keep up. When was the last time you did some belly dancing, merengue, soca, salsa, samba, booty-poppin, and 'black' cha-cha all in the same hour!?! Let alone heard "Tootsie Roll" and "Tambourine" followed by a cool down to Goapele and the Isley Brothers. This is the type of fun and energy they bring to every class! I also appreciate that its not just effortless two-stepping and booty shaking. No, this is a real workout folks! There is toning and cardio and real WERK going on here! I've been back a few times since and every time I leave feeling so much better....plus I'm a little sore the next day. Mychele and Debi also teach at various other gyms/studios around the LA area (UFC Gym in Torrance), and other classes too in addition to Zumba. What I admire the most about this class is what I thought would make it whack when I first heard about it: It's free and in the Crenshaw mall! Honestly, I remember being a kid shopping at that mall and have seen it go from bad to worse. I clearly recall watching the looting and seeing neighboring businesses burn in the '92 LA Riots. The fact that they are offering this class for FREE to a community that needs something healthy and uplifting to do is truly inspiring. Anyone can go, and everyone does go! Its adorable to see even the little kids waiting up front while their mommies are in the class get up and start to follow and dance along too! What a good way to show the importance of exercise from a young age! You really feel the community love and spirit in the building and its a beautiful thing. Thank you, Mychele and Debi for helping to make fitness and exercise a more doable part of so many of lives!

They're skilled, attentive, and patient. The facilities are nice at this new location! They have showers now so I can come in the mornings before work. They could use some maintenance on the equipment, but they take care of their stuff enough for it to last as long as the gym's been open (more than 14 years now!). The members are friendly and push each other, like any affiliate box should.

I've been a member at LAX CrossFit since 2022 and shamefully have never left a review but scrolling…read morethrough I realize that most of these reviews are OLD and no longer accurately describe my gym! The short version is LAX CrossFit is great and my experience since Victor bought the gym has been delightful. If you're *at all* interested in lifting or just a different fitness experience please come check us out! The long version is I never wanted to lift weights. I'm a Zumba girlie. But after Zumba continued to cancel classes or start late I decided I had to find something more reliable. LAX CrossFit was close and with the first three classes free I had nothing to lose. Victor was my instructor and was incredible. Warm, welcoming and knowledgeable, he was encouraging and also more concerned with teaching me good form than with the amount I could lift. Two + years later and I can still count on all the LAX CrossFit instructors to kindly correct my form and aid me in staying healthy/uninjured. Our community is great, it's diverse, friendly, warm, we have bbqs, special beach workouts, and other things that make this group of people unique among my gym experiences. I've never been overcharged, I've never had a billing issue and I've never had any problems, except the occasional full parking lot which can't be helped when everyone wants to go to class at the same time! LAX CrossFit is for ALL ability levels. I am not a "lifter" I often need scaled versions of an exercise which is never a problem! All the instructors are there FOR the members and will help with just about anything you need. I never feel pressured only encouraged to push myself, to do better than I did last time. There is NO competition between members, I appreciate this so much! If you are looking for a physically and emotionally safe place to get strong I can't encourage you enough to come check us out, I really think this place is for everybody!

I have always wanted to take Pilates but couldn't find a studio with the right hours. So I found them on the Mind body app. So long story short I'm glad I found them and enjoy this studio.

I highly recommend the studio to everyone that wants to start there journey and keep practicing.

I've been doing Pilates (1-3 days a week) for almost 20 years now. I've probably been to over 10 studios during that time. Once I started coming to Archer Pilates, I can honestly say they have the best instructors I've ever had. I am now a regular of theirs since 2020 I think and I attend 4-5 classes per week!!! Their pricing is extremely valuable for the quality of their classes, patience and kindness of the instructors and their gorgeous new studio! Melanie the owner is amazing. Kat has a special place in my heart. Ashley is a rockstar. Jen is incredible. If you haven't done Pilates before, this is a great studio to go to. Many of the "trendy" studios seem great but they don't focus on you making sure your form is right. If your form isn't right, trust me, you can really hurt yourself. This studio really cares about each person that walks thru their door.
