It's been quite the journey for me sticking with one studio, but from the intimate classes, really wonderful instructors, and clean equipment -- I love coming here every week.

Sarah O, Rachel , and Jess are stand outs to me. I personally thrive in environments where I feel welcomed, supported and pushed. I feel this every time I step into one of their classes, and the main reason why I keep coming!

I started working out at Lift two months ago, and I absolutely love it…read more The workouts are effective and efficient, and, if you're a nerd like me, it's interesting to hear Dirk and Chenell talk about how the movements strengthen different muscle groups. They're always nearby to make sure my form is correct, and they never lose patience when I ask them to remind me how to do certain moves. Speaking of supervision, I went to Lift today for the first time in about a week and a half, and I told Chenell that I've been experiencing some pain in my left shoulder. She sent Dirk outside to talk to me about it, and after I described my symptoms, he re-wrote part of my workout and continued to check in to make sure I wasn't in any pain. I felt super safe and respected, and there was ZERO pressure for me to push through any discomfort. Hiiiighly recommend this place!

Worst of the worst. Dirk is an angry, passive aggressive old man with Roid Rage who loves to put…read morepeople down and touch women inappropriately. I've heard him say verbatim to a woman next to me, " that's because you're stupid". Another time " yeah, you're an idiot". He's demeaned me many times. I just accepted it as part of The Lift Silverlake Experience. One day I came in and said "nice new shirt and it looks fancy and you look nice.. which he replied to me "what about you? You look like you just rolled out of bed and put on dirty clothes". Which is hilarious because I was fresh out of the shower with fresh clean clothes.. I always showered before my workout because Dirk likes to make fun of people who smell. I was giving him a compliment but he doesn't know how to take it, so he spews hate. After that interaction he banned me from his paid social club. I said nothing except what I mentioned above and when questioned why I was banned, they simply said they didn't want to talk about it. I attached Dirk's email banning me so you can see that obviously I was a very good client and they never had issues in the past. I was never late. I never missed a session. I never acted inappropriately ever.. I spent over $6,000 dollars training with them. Dirk is a very troubled person and I hope he finds help for his mental issues. I wish everyone at Lift Silverlake the best and it would be a beautiful place without Dirk there with all his hate and spite. God bless and always sending prayers for peace, comfort and grace. Dirk and Chenell... People are paying you for a service. Not to be put down, bullied or traumatized. It's not just bad business, you're messing with peoples' lives, their goals and their ambitions. Please stop crushing people's passion for exercise. Lastly, he doesn't allow black people at the gym. He prefers white women and beta white men. If you don't get contacted back by them it's because they profiled your age, sex, and/or race with their interview process and didn't like you..

I decided to come and check it out, I was also looking for personal training just to get the guidance that I so desperately need. I had my assessment with Miguel, and man this guy made me feel comfortable from the very beginning. Throughout the entire hour I spent with him, there was not one moment I felt self-conscious or judged, I felt right at home and it was because of his disposition. He found ways to relate to my personal experience, he managed to make me come out of my shell (which is not a very easy thing to do). By the end of the assessment I knew this would be my new home gym, I needed to become a member AND I needed to sign up for personal training with him of course. I am now a proud member of LM Fitness, I cannot wait to continue to work with Miguel and all the amazing people I have met so far. I have been at this location twice now and every single time the vibe just feels right, I cannot wait to experience this little family they have created.

He will often sacrifice his own workout time to accommodate a client. Since I can't do personal training as often as I'd like, Lance created a personalized "Push Day" and "Pull Day" program for me that I can take to the gym and do on my own. He doesn't judge you and genuinely cares. He has celebrity clients and has trained some huge names, yet he makes me feel equally important. His new studio location is full of brand new equipment and is in a cool spot in Glassell Park near all the new restaurants there. Plus his dog Bud is adorable! He'll hang out with you while you work out, so you get a dose of animal therapy too. I worked with Lance a while back but fell off. Lance has actively encouraged me to get back into motion. I am now restarting my fitness journey after some time off due to his support. It's wonderful to feel like you have an ally in something so important and so personal. Thanks, Lance.

As a trainer, Henry is kind, patient, and encouraging, but he will also push you because he knows you're capable of it. He is also a truly gifted teacher, and he's been helping me learn about proper form and how to structure my workouts so that I can avoid injury.

If you're someone like me who has struggled with finding a comfortable gym environment, I cannot recommend Henry or the other amazing trainers at this gym enough.

To Whom It May Concern,…read more I'm writing to express serious concern about the conduct of instructor Victoria Moreno during the 11:00am class on July 6th. As someone who has practiced Pilates consistently for over two years across multiple studios and cities, I have never encountered an experience like this. My friend and I were both booked for this class. I arrived before it began, and my friend entered the studio at 11:11am. She removed her shoes and walked directly to her reformer. By the time Victoria began speaking to her about the studio's grace period policy, it was 11:14am according to my friend's phone. At that point, Victoria told her she would not be allowed to participate. I fully understand that Wundabar enforces a strict grace period policy, especially as it pertains to the flow and safety of a class. However, the situation was unnecessarily escalated. Rather than offering a quick, professional explanation or simply allowing her to observe quietly, Victoria engaged in extended, disruptive back-and-forth that ultimately affected the class more than a calm, 10-second orientation would have. My friend exited the studio between 11:16 and 11:18am. I remained for the session, but throughout the class I felt uncomfortable. Victoria seemed to direct subtle hostility toward me, with pointed looks and what felt like condescending corrections. I did my best to remain focused on my workout and not be affected. After class, while I was cleaning my reformer, Victoria approached me and said, "I'm sorry your friend had to leave, this is just about grace period." I responded kindly and without confrontation: "I think she thought it was a 15-minute grace period--must've been a misunderstanding, but I totally understand. It's about safety and I know explaining the reformer would take away from the class." I was simply trying to be respectful and avoid conflict. Instead of letting it go, Victoria responded, "No, it's actually not about safety. She's been here before and knows the reformers. This is solely about grace period." I replied, "I don't want any bad blood--are you mad at me?" She then said, "No, I'm not mad. I'm just apologizing and you tried to over explain it." I was stunned. At that point, I collected my things and left. I have never had an instructor "talk back" to me like this, especially after I made a clear effort to be understanding. The tone and attitude Victoria brought into this interaction felt unprofessional, defensive, and needlessly aggressive. Her decision to continue the conversation--and accuse me of "over-explaining" after I had already expressed understanding--was entirely inappropriate. This was my first time at Wundabar, and it left me extremely disappointed. I've worked with many instructors in both New York and Los Angeles, and I've never encountered anything like this. It's not just the refusal to allow my friend to join--it's the lack of emotional intelligence and professionalism that followed. Victoria Moreno is a representative of your brand, and I truly hope this is not reflective of the values Wundabar upholds. I would appreciate a formal response regarding how this situation will be addressed and what measures are being taken to ensure no other customer is treated this way in the future. Sincerely, Chelsea
