I came here for 2 classes and will definitely be back! First time it was Total Body Burn with Michelle Lim and the second time with the same trainer but for a Booty burn class. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Michelle's energy is amazing: she is very active and nice, keeps on motivating us when we feel weak.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]She also makes sure everyone that needs modifications is instructed how to make those.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The studio itself is very well equipment, the mats are brand new, the lighting, music, mics, everything works great. The bathroom is stocked with everything one might need and the atmosphere is very cozy overall! Also easy to locate, park if needed, or walk from public transportation :) read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]My favorite gym! I've been a member of Lively X for a few years and it's been my favorite community.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] It's a great mix of weightlifting and mat style classes. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Taking a class has been my favorite way to decompress, keep myself accountable and work towards my goals.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Thanks to Lively X and the friends I've made through the gym, I've ran a full marathon and completed two Hyrox competitions.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

Honestly, not great. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The instructors are variable and change a lot.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Classes are often cancelled. Parking is tough. Not enough offerings, not enough consistency, no accountability and not enough energy is being put into this business. read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]I love working out at Lively X and Laura's classes.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Laura's classes are challenging but fun. I love that the environment is so friendly and comfortable for everyone, no matter their fitness level. Highly recommend! read more

The owner may be a good personal trainer for one on ones, but she does not seem to know much about running a business so people come back. [[HIGHLIGHT]]She has a lot to learn. How about greeting newcomers and asking if they have any injuries, goals, etc?[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] How about explaining the poses better so people are not confused about what is happening, offering adjustments, etc. vs checking herself in the mirror non stop? [[HIGHLIGHT]]I wanted to like this class badly, because I wanted to take a class in that space for so long, but, sadly, this is not the one.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

I've taken one class here at Lively X Studio with I believe the instructor was Sarah. I arrived early and let Sarah know it was my first time. She explained how the class worked and to let her know if I had any questions. The circuit workout was tough, but it was fun and productive. Sarah was very involved with everyone in the class. She was fixing form and encouraging everyone. She checked in on me numerous times to see how I was doing. Overall, it was a good experience and I would recommend the studio. read more

Pretty in pink! Lively X is a welcoming standout, and addition to the fitness scene in downtown Palo Alto. Boutique fitness at its finest. From my first class with Lila, I was hooked. Laura, the owner, is a veteran fitness instructor, and highly skilled, educated, and knowledgeable in her craft. It is obvious the care, and detail she put into the studio. Having being familiar with her style elsewhere... Her curated classes really pack a punch! Offering several classes, a plethora of equipment, and an inviting (non-intimidating) environment. Get in that self care in 2024, and ensure some of it is spent here, at Lively X. Support small business. Come here for the fitness classes, and stay for the community (and ascetics). read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]I've been coming to Lively for nearly a year now, and I'm so glad I found this place.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] In Palo Alto, most of the group classes are yoga or pilates focused, but Lively offers so much more. I prefer the strength-based classes with Lucy the most, but all of them are great. The coaches push you hard while correcting form and making sure you're safe. I (and other moms-to-be) also benefit from their ability to modify the exercises to be pregnancy-safe. [[HIGHLIGHT]]It's a great environment, full of supportive people I never would have met otherwise![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Hip Hop Dance with Phoenyx was so much fun![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] She is a great teacher and [[HIGHLIGHT]]I worked up a good sweat.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]It was a great and fun workout that was motivating[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] and i recommend it to anyone wanting a full workout

I love this studio! This is a hidden gem. Laura and all the instructors are amazing. As soon as you walk in you'll be greeted by the instructor. Laura is focused on empowering you and making sure you feel confident in and outside of the studio. Her attention to detail makes each workout class enjoyable. Also all the other instructors are amazing. There isn't a class I don't love. The inviting atmosphere helped me get out of my comfort zone and push myself. I cannot say it again, but I will: I love Lively X Studio! read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]I took the Total Body Strength: Glutes and Abs class tonight at 5:30. It was my first time, through class pass, and there were 2 instructors there[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]. [[HIGHLIGHT]]They were very nice, and walking in the vibe was good and positive.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Our instructor was very encouraging and easy to understand. She helped me more because she knew it was my first time, and told me what to do and how to the form. She was patient. All the exercises were legit, thorough, got my sweating, and made me feel strong and more confident. Thank you! read more

Great workout. AMAZING teachers. Fun music. Parking is great. Facility is clean and a great range of weights to suit everyone's abilities. And all women read more

I had been taking Laura's classes at Rumble for a little over a year and have always loved her energy & routines. So when I found out that she was opening a studio of her own, it was a no brainer for me to try out some of her classes. My favorites are her Thursday night dance classes and her Friday morning HIIT Barre. Just be prepared to leave her classes sweaty & sore! read more

The owner's demander is abrasive. I understand that I came to the class late. The owner has a bad day. She talked impatiently, humiliated me unnecessarily in front of the class (e.g. I don't have time to talk to you) and lashed out at me as her emotional punch bag. I empathize that she had a family loss that day. Please take some time off to grieve instead of being angry at your customer. We are here to take your workout class. We didn't sign up to be your emotional punchbags and be humiliated in public. read more

I've known Laura for nearly 3 years. I was lucky to meet her just before the Covid lockdown. Since that time I've benefited greatly from her knowledge of nutrition, cooking and Actionable steps to keep things in line. Her New studio compliments all the personality, experience and care she loves to bring to people. I highly recommend Laura as a person to work with if you're wanting a secret weapon in getting to your better place. She's also fabulous to live with love and see grow everyday. :) read more

Joining the Lively X Studio has been the best decision I've made this year! Not only is she knowledgeable and an amazing coach/trainer but she is kind and caring. She really listens to your goals and has been the best thing for my fitness journey! Over the year I've noticed my self-confidence grow, and I'm excited to continue my fitness journey with a community I look forward to seeing each week. read more

Laura is outstanding and the best trainer I have ever worked with! I have been doing nutritional/ performance coaching with her for the past two months in addition to personal training twice weekly and taking her group fitness classes and am seeing a much slimmer and more toned physique that I had never been able to achieve prior no matter how many hours I spent at the gym. Laura is extremely knowledgeable with nutrition and fitness and helps you set personalized goals that are achievable. She brings amazing positive energy to her classes and does a great job of pushing you to challenge yourself while keeping you motivated. Looking forward to continuing to work with her to get even stronger and fitter :) read more

I've been working with Laura now, for over 3 months on nutrition and fitness. I can't emphasize enough, how grateful I am to be working with her on my health journey. Laura listens to my challenges of the week and steers me towards my goals with focus, compassion and accountability. Her passion to help others like me is palpable! And her community members are very supportive of each other. If you're like me and are coming off a serious injury and are not sure about working with a trainer/nutrionists, take it from me. Three lumbar spine protrusions (permanent) and severe discs degeneration-I am more active NOW than I was BEFORE my spine injury. I have Laura to thank for this, helping me stay focus and finding a path that works for me and my goals. Thank you Laura. read more

Laura is EVERYTHING!! I knew that I needed her in my life when I took her first class at Rumble in 2019! If you are looking for an amazing Heath coach and trainer, look no further! She is well versed in all things nutrition, really takes the time to cater to each individual and their needs to be able to put together a specific program that works for you! She offers amazing On Demands sessions online for those ( like myself) who aren't able to be in studio along with zoom Training sessions! Sometimes, She even doubles as my mini therapist! :) If you are lucky enough to get on her schedule, BOOK IT!!! Literally the best decision EVER! read more

If you are looking for an amazing health coach look no further!! I found Laura over a year ago in one of her boxing classes, and I really mean this, in the least dramatic way possible, she changed my life. I had always been extremely into fitness and healthy eating, and reached an odd time in my life where I was gaining weight while dieting, exercises, etc. I was engaged at the time, getting married in the next year and had just not been able to lose a pound, kept gaining weight, and was up 30lbs in one year. I was at the heaviest I had ever been, and SO frustrated since I couldn't figure out what I was doing, or if something was going on with my body. Laura has such an extensive knowledge of gut health and hormonal issues, that she knew something was going on. She recommended that I get some blood work, with consulting my doctor and after testing found out that I had PCOS, and from that I had developed insulin resistance. This is what was making me physically unable to lose weight and simultaneously making me gain weight. She was with me every step of the way and helped me so much with what to eat after this diagnosis, how to exercise properly with these new medications I had to be on. With her help, I lost 30lbs, and am in the strongest healthiest shape I've ever been in my life. PCOS is also just an emotional diagnosis, and she has been so immensely supportive and helpful in how I can maintain the healthy eating exercise to keep the symptoms at bay. She is so much more then a health coach, she is a great friend and cares so much about her clients. Couldn't recommend her enough for a health coach, personal trainer, or fitness instructor! read more

If you are looking for an AMAZING place to level up your energy, learn about your body, get stronger and in an athletic shape, and learn boxing and training techniques, don't look any further! Laura is AMAZING!!!!! Book her classes before it all sell out! I came across her boxing classes when I was at my lowest point mentally and physically, and her classes and her energy gave me a reason to fight. I started to take private classes with her, and it was THE BEST investment that I did for myself. She is a great trainer, very knowledgeable about the body and its needs, and an amazing motivator. She goes above and beyond, and I mean it!! She plans for every second of her classes whether it is a group session or a private one. She cares about your health, and you feel that it is not a means for marketing, it is genuine and simply because she cares about people! I can't say enough great things about her as a trainer and more importantly as a person I can't wait to see her name all over Bay Area and witness her amazing success. read more

I joined Lively X a year ago after a back injury and with the addition of diastasis recti (due to pregnancy many years ago). Laura's experience and knowledge have helped me grow stronger than I ever imagined post injury but in a safe supportive way. It is so obvious how much she cares about her clients and their goals. She is compassionate, funny, and a down to earth person who brings a positive energy to her classes and individual sessions. She encourages a supportive community as well as individual growth. Her extensive background in nutrition is an added bonus! Laura is INCREDIBLE! Lively X is an amazing place to start or continue your fitness journey!! read more

Laura is the best fitness and nutrition coach! I found her via Rumble boxing and we trained together during COVID and have continued on as she opened her wonderful studio. Laura pushes me to do more, lift more, eat better and be a better human being! There is no one like Laura; your health and fitness will transform! Please come to this wonderful studio. read more

I found Laura when I was in a really dark place in my life and wanted to train with someone who specialized in boxing. There weren't too many female boxing trainers that I found online in the Bay Area and I'm so glad I decided to work with her. She works really hard to make sure you're getting quality classes and it doesn't go unnoticed. Her workouts are fun and give me the confidence to progress, especially since I haven't consistently worked out in several years. After months of personal training, I decided to work with her for nutrition coaching since I've always had trouble staying disciplined in eating healthy. Within the first 6-7 weeks, I lost 7 lbs. Laura is someone you want in your corner! She has built a fantastic fitness community for women, has a beautiful studio that makes her clients feel safe and seen, creates the easiest and most delicious recipes for busy people (like me!), and truly cares about her clients. If you're debating whether or not to work with her, check out her website because she offers something for everyone and can meet you wherever you are on your fitness journey. read more

I have never been particularly knowledgeable about nutrition and fitness. I knew that if I ate a lot of vegetables and did some cardio, I could avoid gaining weight, but I didn't understand how to eat and workout to define my muscles and cut the fat. Because of this, I've always been a bit self conscious about the squishy parts of my body. I started working with Laura towards the start of the pandemic and it was a game changer. She helped me understand HOW to eat clean so that I could tone my muscles but also have enough energy to handle my rigorous cardio workout schedule. She was so patient with answering all of my questions about nutrition, supplements, and she even checked in with me to see how my body was reacting to certain foods. She also gave me workout routines to tone the parts of my body that my regular workouts weren't! By the end of the program, I had never felt more confident in a 2-piece bikini! Because of Laura, I went from knowing nothing about nutrition to knowing exactly what I should eat to continue keeping the unwanted fat off and these lessons have carried me through the pandemic! I look forward to working with her again in the future! read more
