The coaches and staff at TruFit are awesome and have cultivated a great community. The equipment is great (especially if you're training for HYROX, they have all the stations), the gym is clean and spacious and has an outdoor space which I appreciate so it's never stinky.

I've lost over 80+ pounds while under his regimen and feel more confident with my body than I ever have. I started with the goal of just being able to not constantly be in pain. I didn't want to go down the medical way (no hate on oz) just because I wanted to be able to build up the strength I needed and knowledge to continue outside of his trainings. Not only has this improved my confidence, but it's improved my overall being. I can walk without feeling like passing out, and I can even run now (even though I still don't enjoy it lol). I have more energy now than I had in my twenties, I love being outdoors and I can pick up a box without feeling I need an epsom bath after. His pricing is extremely reasonable for the amount of knowledge and follow ups you get from him. He goes beyond that of any other trainer I've ever experienced. You will NOT regret it.

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.

I've been a member of Hardcore Fitness since 2020, and I can confidently say it's one of the best decisions I've made for my health and well-being. The facility is perfect, with a variety of quality equipment and a layout that caters to every fitness level. Whether you're just starting out or a seasoned athlete, you'll find everything you need to challenge yourself and make real progress! The trainers at Hardcore Fitness are simply outstanding. They're not only knowledgeable but also incredibly motivating and genuinely invested in each member's journey! Their energy is truly unmatched. You know it means something when you can't even pick a favorite...! They are all equally amazing. Outside of bootcamp, the gym offers a variety of specialized programs, from intense boxing-focused sessions in Fight Camp to personalized private/smaller sessions that cater to your specific goals. The guided 60-day challenges are a game-changer, pushing members to achieve results you didn't think were possible! One of the standout aspects of this gym is the strong sense of community. The members are supportive, friendly, and share a collective drive to improve, creating an inspiring atmosphere. It truly feels like a fitness family where everyone celebrates each other's achievements... very personable and special! A special shoutout to Tori, the amazing female owner, who has built something truly remarkable here. Her passion for fitness and unwavering dedication to her members and the gym is evident in every detail. Tori is approachable, inspiring, and always there to offer guidance and encouragement! If you're looking for a gym that combines a top-notch facility, outstanding trainers, a welcoming community, and a variety of specialized programs, Hardcore Fitness is the place to be. Joining this gym was one of the best decisions I've made, and I can't recommend it highly enough! read more

I've been going to Hardcore Fitness since I was about 3 months postpartum, and it has truly been a huge part of my fitness journey. I took a break during COVID and worked out at home in my garage, but I came right back as soon as my schedule allowed and it honestly felt like coming home. The workouts here are intense in the best way. Every class is structured as a high-energy training session that combines strength training, HIIT, core work, and full-body conditioning. You're constantly rotating through stations, so there's never a dull moment and you're always challenged at your own level. The programming pushes endurance, strength, and fat loss all at once, and you leave feeling completely worked! Tori brings a level of energy and motivation that genuinely changes the whole atmosphere. She doesn't just run classes, she honestly drives them. She's the type of coach who makes you want to push harder, lift heavier, and not quit when it gets tough. She's not just the owner of the gym, she's the heartbeat of the gym and the inspiration behind the community culture. What really makes Hardcore Fitness stand out is the community. It's supportive, consistent, and very accountability-driven. You're surrounded by people who show up, work hard, and encourage each other. Highly recommend for anyone looking for structured, challenging, and results-driven group training with an amazing coaching team. read more

MANY HIDDEN FEES BE CAREFUL…read more I had a very unpleasant and frustrating experience with Bunda Northridge/Chatsworth, especially because I specifically called before purchasing the membership to make sure I understood what I would be paying. I purchased their $49 One Week Unlimited New Client Offer during my birthday week because I wanted to try Bunda and attend one class. Before purchasing it, I called and spoke with Llena because I had seen something online that made me wonder whether there were additional daily charges. I specifically asked about extra fees because I wanted to make sure we were on the same page BEFORE I spent my money. She was very sweet and bubbly, and when I asked about paying additional fees every day, I remember her telling me essentially, "No, that wouldn't make sense." We even laughed about it. Based on that conversation, I purchased the membership believing I had paid $49 for one week of unlimited classes without additional daily charges. My first class was Monday. Desiree greeted me and Ally was my trainer. Ally was actually very nice and welcoming, and I have nothing negative to say about her. However, that was when I got my first red flag. I was told that equipment was only free the first time and afterward I would have to pay $6 per visit for equipment or approximately $56 to purchase it, and I was told I could not simply bring my own. This was extremely frustrating because I had specifically called BEFORE purchasing the membership to ask about additional fees and was told there weren't additional daily fees. Had I known that beforehand, I could have made an informed decision about whether I still wanted to purchase the membership. Then Tuesday came. I woke up extremely sore from the previous day's workout and decided not to attend my scheduled class. Since I had already paid for an unlimited week, I didn't think much of missing one class. Later that day, my card was charged an additional $20 as a no-show penalty. To be fair, after going back and looking at the offer, I can now see that in small print it says, "Late Cancel / No Show Fee's Apply." However, it does not state on the membership details shown to me that the penalty is $20, and nobody explained the amount of that fee to me when I called to specifically ask about additional charges before purchasing. Between the $6 equipment charge and a $20 no-show fee, these are significant additional costs that I believe should have been clearly explained upfront. I immediately reached out asking for clarification because I genuinely could not understand why I was being charged another $20 on top of a membership I had already paid for. Desiree contacted me and wanted me to call, but at that point I had already spent enough time trying to understand charges that I specifically tried to clarify BEFORE joining. I explained that I didn't want to spend more time going back and forth on the phone and simply asked for the policy and explanation in writing via text. I waited for someone to resolve the situation or at least properly address my concerns, but I did not receive the refund or resolution I was hoping for. To make the experience even more frustrating, I later tried to schedule additional classes during the week I had already paid for and was unable to do so, and I couldn't get the help I needed. What bothers me most isn't simply the $20. It's the lack of transparency and communication. I did exactly what a customer should do: I called BEFORE purchasing and specifically asked about additional fees so there wouldn't be any surprises. Yet after purchasing, I learned about a $6 equipment charge per visit and then received a $20 no-show charge. I understand businesses have cancellation policies, and I have no problem following policies when they are clearly communicated. My issue is that if there are mandatory equipment charges and specific penalty amounts, customers should be told exactly what those charges are before purchasing, especially when they specifically call and ask. Unfortunately, what was supposed to be a fun birthday-week trial turned into me spending more money, time, and energy trying to understand unexpected charges. The actual workout was fine and Ally was wonderful, but the billing experience and lack of clear communication completely overshadowed it. I personally would not return based on this experience, and I strongly recommend that anyone considering the "unlimited" introductory offer ask for every additional fee, equipment charge, cancellation fee, and no-show penalty in writing before purchasing.

Being a full time working parent of three on-the-go boys is tough, but the workouts here are just what I need to help release the stress of the day and deal with my anxiety and depression.

I started going to Crunch Fitness Northridge for strength training with a personal trainer roughly…read moretwo years after sustaining an ischemic stroke. The first time I entered Crunch, Stephen/Steven at the front desk smiled and greeted me; he made me feel welcome. Bishoy, a former manager was also awesome! He asked whether I cared about the age or gender of the personal trainer. I didn't. Given my existing condition, he strongly recommended Ryan Ainsworth. Ryan is exemplary! He has the eye of a physical therapist and is arguably as good as one - if not better! He is kind and nurturing. Whenever I'd whine about the difficulty of an exercise, he'd always encourage me while ensuring that I'd perform that exercise with fidelity. Ryan possesses the sublime ability to immediately adjust specific exercises to meet my personal needs. Ryan's nuanced adjustments are sublime! Current and former managers Bishoy, Johnny (at the Norwalk location), Armando, CJ, and Charlie always exhibited genuine kindness combined with outstanding customer service during times I had to postpone training for extended period of time due to illness, cataract surgeries, and fractured toes as a result of being clumsy at home. Ryan Ainsworth has given me the grace to accept myself, be resilient, and prevail with this "new normal" for which I am eternally grateful!!!

After years of having a membership (since 2009 starting back in NYC) I finally stopped renewing…read more Quality has gone down big time in both equipment and members. Treadmills are way overdue to be replaced or significantly refurbished. Stair masters are only great if they're working and these days there's always 2-4 broken. Members are always on their phones hogging machines doom scrolling while they are not active. This has become pervasive and it's really depressing being around that kind of energy. Texting while driving and at the gym is very selfish, inconsiderate and unsafe- do that at home when you're on the couch. Bathrooms are always trashed, I feel terrible that people are so rude and mindless almost forgetting that a person has to clean up their junky mess. It's disgusting. Manager who is there, a young guy, no idea what his name is as he is super not helpful and really not personable at all. Sad to say I feel there are people below the manger who are more personable and helpful who should totally be considered being promoted to manager. Speaker in the zoomba room has been broken and unpleasant for over two years now, still hasn't been repaired or replaced. This is so bad that instructors wheel in their own personal speaker to conduct the class sometimes or they'll use the speaker at a very low volume. No matter how low the membership cost was for me at the highest tier, I think I was paying $14/ month, it just wasn't worth it. Parking is for sure getting worse as it became more of a regular occurrence to park further closer to Honeybaked ham. I don't mind getting in the extra steps as I enjoy walking, but as a female at night... I digress. Crunch used to be a place I looked forward to going to, but now it's just way too crowded and stinky. Three stars because despite the quality of equipment and experience going down, it is still a 24 hour location with wonderful staff (excluding mangers), with a decent variety of equipment and the equipment which does work is ok. Crunch locations that are incredible: all of the New Jersey locations, NYC, Simi Valley, and Santa Clarita.

Winning Edge is a gym community like no other. If you want to do your own thing, and be left alone,…read morethis place is not for you. If you want to be encouraged to strive for excellence, come be a part of our family! There are coaches here who actually teach and inspire you to get better at your form and improve upon your weaknesses. Yes, modifications are possible and they will scale the workouts for you if you have an injury, or you're learning a new skill, but as an athlete, you're encouraged to push yourself a little harder if you can. And you read that right, I said athlete. When I walked into this facility nearly two years ago, it was mainly due to a challenge set by a group of mom friends who wanted to lose fifteen pounds. Losing weight wasn't my ultimate goal. I just wanted to get stronger and lift things easily into old age. I was always intimidated by CrossFit, having only heard about how intense the workouts were and how people got badly injured. The idea of sweating with other people grossed me out, too. You'd be amazed what a little peer pressure from a group of moms will do for you, though! The first week was grueling and my body felt like I had been run over by a semi-truck. A friend who had been doing CrossFit for years told me to stick with it, and to take a rest day every three days or so. So bit by bit, with encouragement from total strangers who later became good friends and coaches who patiently taught me some skills, I stuck with it. Well fast forward to about a year into my fitness journey and Covid-19 struck the entire world. Winning Edge closed its doors early, way before the quarantine lockdown was enforced in LA County. This didn't stop us from working out together as a group, however. Management allowed us to take gym equipment home on a first-come, first-served basis, without charging any additional fees. This enabled us to continue working out from home via Zoom, which was adopted early on by our coaches. Instead of gaining weight during Covid, I actually got fitter. We even had fitness challenges and Zoom happy hours to keep us feeling inspired and connected. Winning Edge continued to make things better when we were finally allowed to get back to the gym but, surprise, we had to work out outdoors. We had an amazing canopy set up and an outdoor rig. A reservation system was put in place so we could limit the number of people coming and going. When it got too hot indoors, the powers-that-be had enormous industrial-sized fans installed. Basically, the members are spoiled at this gym. I mean, I do remember a time when we had towels for our use, but with Covid-19 that never made a comeback and understandably so! I didn't mean to write an entire essay on my love for all things Winning Edge, but what it comes down to is the people that make up this place. When you walk into this gym, know that you will become part of a community that celebrates the first and last person finishing a workout. You face the grueling workout together and enjoy the reward together. It's even ok to sweat next to these peeps. Just bring your own towel.

It's the complete opposite of the "trainers" at chain gyms where everybody gets the same typical workout regardless of body type. So far, so good!
