Six months later, things have gotten better…read more The staff are still amazing, which is a constant. All the treadmills have been replaced and it feels like there's plenty for everyone. I popped in last week and I didn't spot any broken machines - good sign. I'm not saying everything's perfect but it's improved. All the major renovations are done and the atmosphere feels like it's back to normal.

The EoS acquisition of Gold's gym locations proves, on the daily, how quickly a mega corporation…read morecan run a successful gym into the ground. The maintenance of their facilities has gone downhill at WARP speed. By cutting corners on maintenance staffing and shifts and leaving their broken equipment is states of disrepair for weeks on end, they are showing the clientele the complete disregard they have for their gym experience and satisfaction. The absolute IRONY of their corporate poster at the entrance bragging about the money spent on upgrades (basically repainting the locations with their new color palette) while the state of the gym is being neglected and run into the ground is not lost on me. Please see the photos below of just some of the issues/failures I witnessed yesterday. If I had done a complete walk through, there would be a lot more. Management needs to address this immediately and if "their hands are tied"then I'll take it to corporate. This is a disgrace to the reputation that Gold's built and EoS should be ashamed of their low standard of care for their customer's gym experience.

I cannot say enough wonderful things about this studio. The owner, staff, and community are…read moreamazing. I love the variety of classes. From spin to strength training. The instructors about trained and care about form. They always discuss proper form for each class. I appreciate this as it may be a first for some folks. Run to this studio and give it a go. You won't regret it.

It is beyond disappointing because the teachers are great but their policies are awful and they…read moreseem to change person to person. I was on a waitlist once so i just showed up to the class hoping i could get in. After the class had started they let late people in who were over 5 minutes late and I wasn't able to take the class, which is fair enough...However I then had booked a class, couldnt find parking and was 2 minutes late for the class (their is a 5 minute grace period) I was told I couldnt take the class because they gave it to someone on the waitlist. But when I was the waitlist, the same did not occur. Then today I went to take my 9:15 class. I guess I had a $15 fee for missing a class, (My kid had been sick and they have a 12 hour cancellation policy) I keep a limited credit card on file there as one time I got a fraudulent charge for $125 from a meter outside their facility. So I offered to pay with Apple pay (which they take) But I was told they cant take the apple pay and I would need to go home and get my waller otherwise I couldnt take the class, I had already paid for. If I went home, I would have missed half the class. The gentlemen also said to me " We need a card on file. I explained that I can pay the card down when I get home and he said and I quote " This can't keep happening, this is how we run our business" But this had never happened before, I have had fees in the past, and they have always been paid. Its a shame as I mentioned because some of the teachers are awesome but theier rules are inconsistent at best and the delivery is rude and untruthful. I have had many memberships over the years and never have i had such inconsistent policies. I wont be going back again which is a shame.

As someone with gym anxiety who isn't a "gym person," I was genuinely nervous walking into…read moreOrangeTheory, but this ended up being one of the best workout experiences I've had. The sign-up process was easy, and Josh immediately made me feel comfortable by clearly explaining how everything works. Coach Lee MADE the experience. She guided the class so well and gently corrected my form throughout without ever making me feel singled out or behind. The workout was intense but manageable. I could go at my own pace while still keeping up, burned around 600 calories, and definitely felt it the next day. What really stood out was the support. Lee helped me choose a membership that actually fit my needs without upselling, and both her and Josh were incredibly patient with all my questions. I walked in anxious and left feeling proud and excited to come back, which says everything.

5 stars for instructors Joe and DJ. They are consistently helpful, motivating, and attentive. They…read moreactively correct members' form, provide encouragement throughout class, and create an environment where you feel supported and challenged. 5 stars for the front desk staff and manager, Donna Mae and Maribel. They are always warm, welcoming, and genuinely make members feel valued from the moment they walk in. 3 stars for some (not all) of the other coaches. At times, they seem to engage more passively with the class and expect members to approach them with questions, rather than proactively checking in, offering form corrections, or coaching throughout the workout. 1 star for the app. It is persistently glitchy and seems to have recurring technical issues that make scheduling and managing classes more frustrating than it should be. -1 star for converting classes to a 1G format when attendance is low. While I understand it may be more convenient for the coach, it often means everyone is crowded into an already small workout space. As a member, the experience feels cramped and uncomfortable. I would much rather spread out across the room, even if there are fewer people in class. -1 star for the extras to make this a more organized studio- like the stickers on the weight racks. Dumbbells are always misplaced.

I've been to the studio in Glendale on Broadway. When i discovered this studio in Silver Lake, I…read morewas overjoyed. The set up is the same. I like how the reformers are spaced during these COVID times. You have to wear a mask which unfortunately gets very wet from all the sweating that I do. I find the classes to be quite challenging. Maureen is very good about checking your form. She also gives you modifications if you are a beginner or even want the workout to be harder. After the class, the instructor places wipes on your reformer so that you can wipe down everything that you touched. The studio has a restroom with some amenities like tampons. There's also a small section where you can buy some workout clothes. Love their water station so be sure to bring your water bottle. Hand sanitizers can be found near the entrance and the restroom. The parking lot is challenging though because it's a shared lot with the coffee shop. There is metered parking though.

I was recommended this gym by a friend, I started my fitness journey earlier this year…read more Unfortunately I deal with mild anxiety and using big machines is kind of intimidating at other gyms. 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.

This review is long overdue!…read more I've taken classes at both the Montrose and Glendale locations, and I truly can't say enough great things about these studios. After trying several other Pilates studios that felt impersonal, Motivate was such a breath of fresh air. Every single instructor is fantastic, but a few deserve a special mention. Odet is incredibly knowledgeable. This girl knows fitness! She knows exactly how to challenge and motivate her clients. Christine's positive energy, smile and genuine kindness make every class such a joy. Alin is also another amazing and motivating instructor. And Courtney somehow delivers an amazing workout while keeping everyone laughing, it's like getting a comedy show with your Pilates class! I can go on and on about each and every single instructor. Both studios are true gems for the Montrose and Glendale communities. The instructors, the atmosphere, and the workouts are second to none. I genuinely look forward to every class. Five stars simply aren't enough!

They look like they're shocked when you come in and ask about the deals you've been getting daily text messages about with their monotone low decibel voices and poor social skills.
