I had a really frustrating experience here and won't be coming back…read more I completely understand that their free pass is only for first-time visitors. My issue is that their own team told me I was eligible. Someone from the gym personally called me to schedule a free session, and I even double-checked over the phone before driving out. They confirmed they had my info on file and said I was good to come in for my free day. So I made the drive, showed up, and then was told the pass wasn't valid (because although I had never used the pass before I had been there once, months ago through Class Pass) and I'd be charged. At that point, I wasn't going to just turn around after wasting my time and gas. It's ridiculous that their team couldn't acknowledge the miscommunication or take responsibility for approving me in the first place. I'll be disputing the charge. On top of that, parking was extremely limited, the bathrooms were dirty, sauna situation is a joke, and the equipment situation was not great. Very limited machines and a line just to use the treadmill. Overall, worst customer service and not worth the hassle.

When you ask the employees, they say "I don't know, I don't really cycle". I'm not sure what that has to do with knowing how to use the equipment at the gym that you do in fact work at. The staff is the primary reason I decided to cancel my membership. They are simply bodies in a chair. They won't help, they don't say hello or greet you, they seem like they'd rather be anywhere else. They act like you're interrupting their personal conversation when you need to buy a water or ask literally anything. Cycling classes come and go without wiping the equipment. The cleaning standards here are 7/10. The best selling point here is the pool. It's nice to swim indoors, but there are only 3 lanes. Also, the cycling instructor, (Bernard I believe?) is the reason this gym gets a third star vs 1. Overall, the staff not knowing how equipment works, saying you're SOL when none of their bikes work, and being overall rude and unpleasant really kill the energy here more than I imagined. When I first signed up, I felt like it did not matter if the staff was rude- but here we are. I would rather pay less, knowing i'm going to get sub par service. If I'm going to pay almost $200, I would expect cleanliness and employees who know anything about the gym.

The Hollywood location has been my home gym for years now but discovered the Santa Monica location…read morewhen I started a new job almost 2 years ago now and it's great! This location is larger than the others so it's really spacious. At the SM location I've trained with Martine, Conrad, and Sean and, as usual, all are well trained, know their shit, pay attention, and are fantastic trainers! They keep you motivated. And it's great taking classes from different trainers because each one will give you a little tip that will land different for everyone. So something small, a slight adjustment, might change the way you do a lift for the better. Another reason I love this place. It's not cheap but it's worth it and so are you! No better $ spent than on your health!

Clean facilities and everybody gets their own squat rack for an hour. Time is our most precious non renewable resource in our hectic lives. To get in a full body workout without waiting to share equipment and not spend any mental energy and time programming my workouts makes this membership a great value. 2. It's not HIIT, it's pure strength training using barbells and dumbbells. With 2-3 minutes of rest in between sets. 3. The classes are small and maybe 10 people at the most. It is more of a semi private training experience - all the attention and individualized focus of a top trainer with the social benefits of being part of a positive community. 4. Fast Results. Pure and simple. I've done it all: F45, Barry's, Orangetheory, Indoor Cycling, Hot yoga, kickboxing, etc. I am the strongest, leanest I've ever been and because my metabolism has skyrocketed by adding muscle mass, it's so freeing not to watch calories anymore.

That's where the pros end. I've been to much cheaper gyms in 3rd world countries that can figure out how to keep a gym at least base level clean. This is the filthiest gym I've ever been to. Mold, hair, and some disgusting smell fills the locker room and bathroom. The urinals look like they've never once been cleaned as there is black mold in all of them. Onto the weight room: it's extremely crowded, none of the equipment is put back properly, and pretty bad etiquette from the other members. It's rare you'll find a barbell or leg press that's actually been deloaded after use or equipment without sweat stains (this one is partly on the gym for not having nearly enough wipes accessible). Recently, the A/C has also been broken, so expect to be sweating profusely during your warmup. If you're like me and don't want to dish out $100+/month for a gym, you're likely subjected to this gym as your only option in SM. I'm paying $40/month which is more than I've spent on any gym before and is by far the worst I've been to. Bottom line: unless there are SIGNIFICANT changes here, I wouldn't come here unless necessary.
