UPDATE - AUGUST 2025 Over four years and 500+ sessions later, I can say with confidence: Reason Fitness is still the last stop on the road to better health and real results. I've dropped into many CF gyms while traveling, and it's always a relief--and a joy--to come back to Reason. The coaching here is next level. (Kara, Luke, Ed, Lauren to name a few...) Since my original review, these standout coaches helped transform my son into a serious athlete and, ultimately, a United States Air Force Academy appointee. Special shoutout to Coach Ed, who played a key role in getting him physically prepped for the intense USAFA requirements. I'm proudly part of the 5:30 AM crew (the finest hour, in my humble opinion). But no matter when you go, the community is welcoming, down-to-earth, and fun to work out with. One of Reason's true strengths is their ability to attract people who are ready to do the work--and to gently filter out those who aren't quite there yet. They also have a gift for hiring coaches who are not only highly skilled but also genuinely enjoyable to be around. Reason works with you, 1-on-1, to map out a plan that fits your goals--whether that's strength, weight loss, mobility, or just feeling better in your skin. You'll find all shapes, sizes, and fitness levels here. This is not a mirror-lined vanity factory. No egos. No robots. Just people doing the work. If you're serious about making a change--and want a place that will meet you where you are but won't let you stay there--Reason is it. read more

My husband and I have been attending Reason Fitness gym since January 2024. Trainer Coach Drew helps us be more mobile, flexible , stronger and healthier. We go twice a week and work real hard . There are times when we feel exhausted afterwards. Drew challenges us and has helped us built a better foundation for our health. Every week we are getting stronger and stronger. We are healthier as we work on eating less fat, lett sugar and increasing our protein intake. If you want to get healthier I highly recommend checking this gym out . They have group classes along with personal training. read more

I arrived to this gym due to the good yelp reviews and it was the best decision I could've made. Reason helped me re-start my fitness journey after months of loosing my habits. They genuinely care about people success and will support you in every step of your journey as well. This is not another CrossFit gym is a community where you will feel motivated to move on with your fitness journey but they will respect your pace yet nudge you if they see you need some motivation. I learned and re learned moves that have helped me make my routines make sense. I lived every minute of my program. They have different solutions for you depending on what you need so check them out 100/10 read more

5 Stars! Dr. Beth is a Game-Changer for Fitness Goals If you're looking for a trainer who combines brains, heart, and sheer athletic prowess, look no further than Dr. Beth (aka Coach Beth)! With her Doctorate in Physical Therapy, she doesn't just train--she transforms! From tweaking form to preventing tweaks, she's always one step ahead, making every session feel like a custom blueprint for success. I've watched this phenomenal athlete in action on the pickleball court, where she turns into an absolute beast--dominating with skill, power, and a killer smile! Thanks to Dr. Beth's guidance, I've unlocked a newfound confidence in my body's pickleball prowess--holding my own (and then some!) against competitors who are, on average, half my age at 60. It's not just playing; it's thriving on the court like never before! What truly sets her apart? Her warmth and humility. Dr. Beth is incredibly personable and approachable--no ego here, just genuine encouragement that makes you feel seen and capable. Hands down, the best investment in my health. Book her now--you won't regret it! read more

It's been 7 years since my last review and I'm still a member at this gym community and I'd love to share how it's grown over these years. The first notable achievement is that this gym survived the pandemic. That is huge and the way the team and coaches pivoted to support the members during the pandemic was nothing short of incredible passion and hard work for the health and wellbeing of the community. Since then, they have continued to adapt and cater their services and memberships to best meet the needs of the community at hand and introduced personal training. After years of struggling to find my consistency, I decided to try personal training this year and I've been very thankful to have Coach Kara guide me for most of this year so far! I've made huge wins and strides in my consistency and also achieved fitness goals I didn't know I needed. This gym community and the coaches and leadership behind it are what matters. The community is super supportive, diverse in people of all ages and walks of life, and are spurred by coaches who are passionate, caring and intentional. Reason Fitness recently celebrated its 10 year anniversary and I'm personally grateful to be a part of that journey so far! read more

I was looking for a crossfit gym near my house, and my friend from another gym recommended Reason Fitness, saying they have really good coaches. I took his word and visited the gym and started to work on my health and fitness journey. Honestly, my friend wasn't kidding. Reason fitness really does have amazing coaches and a lot of knowledge about health, fitness, and nutrition. They helped me with my journey, and I am continuously using what I learned and been coached on to improve and be better as I get older. read more

REASON!!! Thus far everything has been exceeding my expectations! I thank you for welcoming myself and Yahaira as we continue progressing towards all our fitness goals! These past 3 months have been enjoyable experiences while at REASON! No matter the role from the coaching staff to the owner/founder every single person is helpful, approachable, and just want to bring the best version out of you!! We just LOVE that!!! We truly look forward towards all the progress that's to come our way!! Along with the REASON staff being great as can be what separates this gym from others is simply the community in which you're surrounded by. Let me tell you....this gym you absolutely love all the members as they're welcoming as can be too! Regardless of your physical capabilities I appreciate that REASON will always give the proper suggestions allowing us to exercise safety and effectively!! Enrolling at REASON was the best decision we have made and we look forward on continuing this journey!! Thank you -Brian read more

This is an update about the personal training at Reason. I desperately needed to get back on the health wagon as I fell off during the pandemic so January 2021 came and I messaged Eric for help. He paired me up with Drew H. who I worked with previously for my on ramp back to CrossFit. I have had five personal trainers through a decade. Drew is one of best out of the 5 even though we have been only training together for 3 months. My first PT changed my life and was instrumental in getting me to shred 40 lbs through a strict paleo diet for 6 months. Unfortunately, it wasn't a sustainable lifestyle for the long term. I've been jumping on and off the paleo diet since. Drew draws a personalized road map for sustainable success and provides a lot of needed advice, tough love, encouragement, and empathy. Other trainers went through the motions of exercise and I didn't know what I was looking for in a trainer then. I now know I don't need someone to walk me through an hour of activity. I need someone who provides sound nutritional knowledge and solid support presence. Since January, I've lost 6 lbs which doesn't sound very much (Drew will probably disagree with me) but I fit my old clothes better. I also I feel better these days and more confident in keeping up with the way of eating than before. Drew never shamed me for having ice cream with my child or having a latte as a morning treat once in a while because he maintains a realistic view of life. We can enjoy life every so often but not daily. I am eating whole helluva better and am at the gym at twice a week! If you are looking to change, go see Drew! read more

Since we just moved from San Diego, we have been looking for a box! We stopped by at Crossfit Reason and got a one week free trial to check them out! They were all so helpful and welcoming and really made us feel at home. They have nine hardworking coaches and their programming is well suited for any level of fitness! They also do have a competitive game plan available for those looking to go the extra mile! They are also family oriented as well! Shout out to coach Peter and the owner Eric for letting us join them! read more

When Covid Season hit, I was super anxious, and worried that this gym would shut down, and I would have no means of working out. To my surprise, not only did this gym manage to figure out a way to remain "open" (while meeting government guidelines), I have been getting healthier than BEFORE Covid hit! So just for some background information, I signed-up for CFR's program where an assigned coach will meet up regularly (we did this via Zoom), and help create a custom program for the individual. Because of Covid, I was able to remain more diligent in working out from home, and cook more. The coaches gave gentle accountability towards me, and I think this really helped me thrive during this time. (Just as a side comment, I have some signs of ADHD, which often causes an individual to easily lose motivation. The system that the coaches have implemented, really helped me stay on-track, and become healthier. If you have ADHD and may have tons of anxiety towards working out; this gym would be a great fit for you.) read more

If I could give this CrossFit gym more than 5 stars, I would. I reached out to the owner, Eric back in May 2021 for help to get back on my feet when it came down to my physical health and wellness and the experience I've had from joining thus far has been nothing short of amazing. During the height of the pandemic, I had let go of many healthy habits that kept me consistent in my day to day and found myself in a really difficult place that I desperately wanted to get out of for the sake of my health. Trust me when I say that it was extremely challenging for me to reach out in the first place, but having the support and accountability from all of the coaches, Miguel, Drew, Luke, Edward, Beth, and Tim helped me become a better person overall, not just in my physical fitness, but in every aspect of my life. I began working with Drew on my nutrition to help improve my relationship with food and saw great results month to month while living a lifestyle that worked for me. The personalized nutrition plan helped me better understand portion sizes that work for me without compromising foods that I loved. (Coming from an Asian background, this was VERY important to me) This sustainable approach is exactly what I needed because I wanted a long-term approach to health and fitness, not a get fit quick type of fix. Meeting up with Drew every week helped keep me accountable and constantly kept me engaged in my purpose and in moments where I really did struggle with my body image and relationship with food, his empathy and reassurance kept me going. I'm eating more than I ever have and it I couldn't have gotten this far without the help of my coach. In addition to this program, I also saw improvement day to day in my performance as an athlete. I began moving better, quicker, learned new skills, and have gained so much strength since I've started. The professionalism of the coaches and their willingness to listen and give constructive feedback is something that I have yet to experience elsewhere and it is really what sets this place apart from other gyms or facilities I've been to. Thanks Reason Fam!! read more

This place is awesome! Everyone from the trainers to the members are very warm and welcoming. I signed up for a groupon deal. I do have to mention that I did not fully read what the deal was and only saw "private sessions." I thought this would be good for me since it might actually force me to go to class. Life happened, but that's another story! I'm glad I took the fundamentals class. They gave me great tips on form and even on stretching. The trainers I had for the classes were Tim and Bethany. Both were very knowledgable and encouraging. The owner, Eric, is awesome! Not to sound redundant but really, everyone was very welcoming and friendly. If you are living around that area and looking for a crossfit place to join.. I highly recommend that you look into Crossfit Reason. read more

Reason Fitness - 1st day... I could've done better, though! And we accidentally did a 400m run instead of the 200m run... For the first run! - Trainers Near Me - Arcadia, California

This has been my favorite gym among several I've worked at or was a member too. The community and staff are always great and pushing me. If a coach or member see I'm going light they'll call me out to go heavier and I absolutely love that! It's how I've been able to increase in strength and endurance. I left this time some years ago and the idea of returning was more nerve-racking than how it turned out. It felt like I never left with new and old members approaching and welcoming me to their morning class. read more

Love Reason Fitness - I started my fitness journey toward the end of 2020 after realizing that I wanted a healthy outlet for a lot of the stress built up over the pandemic. I legit came in with the intention to just lose some weight and maybe be able to run without dying. What I found was way more than that. In addition to an incredible community, I found people who regularly challenge themselves and their mindset to be the best versions of themselves. Sure, we all complain when we see movements we don't like, but at the end of the day, we all will do the workouts! The coaches are knowledgable and are there to help you as much as you'd like from comprehensive nutrition planning to normal class coaching. I will be completely honest though. If you start CrossFit, you might end up with a slight gear addiction. You start with a pair of shoes, but then you end up with grips, a jump rope, a weightlifting belt, another 17 pairs of shoes; the list really goes on and on. (That's a product of CrossFit, not Reason). Anyways, great gym, great community, I can run a little bit more now without dying. read more

I have been a member of Reason Fitness for over 5 years now. A lot has personally happened for me in 5 years; love, loss, really good times, some really low times, and for years during that time, a worldwide pandemic. Throughout it all, one of the most consistent things during those 5 years has been this gym and the community within it. This isn't a gym where you can come and go and no one notices, so if you want to slip in and slip out, go to 24 hour fitness or LA fitness. If you want to be recognized, heard, and challenged all while building healthy relationships, then come on in, the door is always (metaphorically) open. read more

Long overdue! I joined the gym about 5 yrs ago, and worked out here all throughout my pregnancy and postpartum. I have received both nutritional coaching as well fitness coaching and it honestly is the best. I have always been active, but it wasn't until coming to Reason that I found my why. I now approach my health and wellness in a completely new way and most importantly, I'm happy with where I'm at in my wellness journey. The coaches are dedicated, they love what they do and it shows. When I walk in to Reason, it doesn't feel like I'm just a person at the gym, I feel like a part of a community. People know my kids names, my strengths and weaknesses, my goals - this place is a gem! read more

I have been with Crossfit Reason since it's inception in 2013. Over the years, I have watched this gym transform, adapt, and overcome whatever challenges that came their way in order to be the premier fitness establishment in the SGV. Since the COVID-19 lockdowns they have done everything in their power to provide us with coaching and support to maintain our health and fitness. This includes Zoom classes, nutrition challenges, individualized programming, etc. Once they were reopened, they have implemented exacting safety and sanitation protocols such as mounting a handsfree thermometer, thorough spraying and sanitation between classes, socially distanced workout stations and equipment, outdoor workout arrangements, and of course mandatory mask wearing. This is truly the best fitness establishment in the SGV and quite possibly the world. read more

What an amazing community for good health!!! I'm so happy that I found this gym during COVID. I'm hooked!!!!

A good friend of mine recommended that I check out CF Reason when I was looking for a new gym. Two plus years now I've been member, I'm going consistently and loving every minute of it. The box is always clean, the equipment is in great shape, and there are always improvements being made. Oh, did I mention the floors are clean? The coaches and staff are awesome! They genuinely care for your well being, spend the necessary time to teach and coach you through the progressions. The community here is second to none. Check it out, you won't regret it. read more

I never felt like my money and time was a waste. I'm glad that I found a gym that can provide sincere mentorship and camaraderie. Every coach in this facility has an objective to prioritize your wellness goals and needs above all else. I'm thankful that this gym focuses more on safety. Coaches here will give set time aside and elaborate on your form rather than having you to put on more weight. I'm glad to be a part of this family even if I'm an ex-attendee. You don't find a lot of gyms that truly care on where you want your wellness and fitness goals to be. And amazing participants too! Love you guys read more

I have a gym membership, but my friend brought me in on "bring a friend day." It's my first time trying cross fit, so my friend recommended that I give the class a try. You have to fill out an online form before trying out which can be conveniently and quickly done on your phone. When I first came in, everyone was really friendly and inviting. The coaches and members know each other very well, so it's definitely a supportive vibe. There's a break room just to the side where you can put your stuff away. The entire facility was clean with plenty of space. For the actual class itself, it is a small class so the coaches can give you lots of attention. We warmed up appropriately and our coach, Drew, taught us how to do some of the exercises before we actually did the workout. It was my first time doing a power clean and power jerk (that day's class theme had some Olympic weight lifting moves), but Drew helped me correct my form and gave thorough advice on how to perform the exercises effectively and safely. As for the actual workout it was intense. I needed to catch my breath for a second! This place is for anyone that's curious about cross fit and make this a part of their lifestyle. This is also a great place for people who want to start their fitness journey and are unsure where or how to start. They're informative, supportive, and will give you guidance! read more

There's currently a Yelp deal here! $50 voucher for $40! I absolutely love it here! I tried other local Crossfits in the SGV and this is my favorite one. They opened on July 1st so the box and the equipment are pretty new. The community here is great! A lot of friendly people who are all striving for the same thing -- getting stronger. What's best about this place is that everything is done electronically. You download the "WOD together" app and you sign up for your classes on the app or the website. You also know the WODs beforehand and you can easily jot down your results directly on there. Class times are a bit limited at the moment, but I'm sure it will grow as the box gets bigger. Some classes can be as small as 2 people or as 'large' as 10 per class. Thus, you're being more carefully watched. There's also a private bathroom available. In addition, Crossfit reason also has some water bottles, protein powder, T-shirts, and other neato stuff you can buy! Trying Crossfit out for the first time? Contact Eric (the owner) and he will schedule an intro course for you. This will give you a good idea of how this high intensity workout is all about. If you're new to crossfit, this place also offers an On-Ramp course which teaches you the fundamentals of common crossfit movements. Crossfit is not for everyone, but I will reassure it that it will put you back in shape! Good luck! read more

If you want the true Crossfit experience, go to this gym. The trainers here know their stuff, and are passionate about fitness. Classes are fun and always work on different things. When I first started Crossfit, I wasn't able to execute a proper squat, which meant I pretty much couldn't do any weightlifting properly. My weight would always be on my toes, and I wasn't able to keep my knees out. The trainers worked with me to correct my form, and I can proudly say that I now do a proper squat & am in the best shape of my life! The trainers here will push you to your very best, sometimes even beyond what you think you can do - but hey, that's what Crossfit is all about right? read more

Crossfit First Timer My friends having been raving about this place for months and sharing their success with me so I decided that it was finally time to check this place out. I really appreciated the fact that the class size was small and intimate. Everyone was welcoming and helpful. It definitely made my first time a lot less intimidating. Luke was the coach of the morning and did a really great job at demoing the various exercises we had to do. Since I have wrist problems, he also provided me with modification which I definitely appreciated because I did not want to exacerbate the problem. Definitely a solid first experience I would say and can't wait to come back again. Final Verdict: Thumbs up. read more

What can I say?after I graduated college , I gained nearly 25 pounds in matter of 8 months. Well, it was time to push the panic button, I joined crossfit reason last october and it was the best decission I made for my weight lost. About the gym: Very convenience located for those who live around arcadia area Coahes are very knowledgable in what they preach Workout is fun, everyday is different. Very supportive members. Last but not least...it keeps me going since the day I sign up...so come and.join the crossfit reason family. read more

Reason Fitness - Trainers Near Me - Arcadia, California

Invited by a friend to workout (oh no, the day has come), I decided to drag myself out at night to check this place out... I was welcomed warmly by Eric and the staff, and though I was apprehensive about being at a gym (it's been years since I've seriously exercised), I immediately felt more at home. Having tried different gyms/sports from boxing to commercial (think LA fitness), to badminton clubs and dance studios, my first impression of this hub really was that it's like a community- like what other reviewers say. My class size was about 10ish people and we spaciously took up about the center of the gym. Though it's nothing like a commercial gym, there's plenty of room, even for others to workout on their own on the side. The gym has parking in back if you can't find street parking up front, and the facility inside is clean and well maintained. I'm not sure what class I took, but it was nice having the trainer offer to show me proper form and the workout even before I asked. Having done a little bit of weights and circuit training the past, I could tell that the trainers are confident and knowledgable just from talking to them. Ben was helpful and encouraging, and even the rest of the class pushed me- in a good way! I didn't feel bad that I didn't reach the numbers (maybe I should?) but I was definitely challenged and reminded to watch my form! Even though I could barely walk and feel my arms afterwards, I would definitely consider Crossfit Reason if I were to be part of a gym. I walked out a sweaty mess and forgot to thank the staff but hopefully they'll welcome me back! read more

When I moved to Arcadia, from San Mateo, the first thing I did was look for the closest Crossfit box I could go to. Little did I know that I hit the jackpot, when I found Crossfit Reason. I've been going here for over 2 years now. I've been doing Crossfit for 4 years in total, but didn't feel at home, until I met my new family at Crossfit Reason. All the coaches here really care about you, and take the time to actually coach you. I don't consider myself to be a very social individual, but have found myself becoming a better person for it. I've made friends, along my fitness journey. Before I started going to Crossfit Reason, I was only going 3 days a week. Now I enjoy going 5 days a week. That type of motivation is due to the positive vibes and great staff. All the equipment is in pristine condition, and the gym is always clean. If you're on the fence, then I implore you to do the week trial; you won't regret it. P.S. 5:30 AM class is where it's at. read more

Great CrossFit box with excellent programming for anybody who is looking to get into shape. Not everyone starts at the same place, and that's okay at CF Reason they will adapt the workouts to each athlete, making sure that everyone is able to perform the exercises correctly and safely. The coaches here are friendly and easy to talk to, they will take the time to answer any questions one might have. They are very knowledgeable in the movements and mobility techniques to better help each athlete reach their potential. Can't say enough good things about these guys and gals. The community here is very supportive, and friendly. If you visit from another box you won't feel like you're an outsider, you will feel like you've been a member all along it's that great of a community. At CF Reason beginners can take their on-ramp class and learn about CF and how it can help you reach your fitness goals. You will see changes in your strength and physique in no time. Don't be afraid of what you can't do because you can. It will take time, but what you put in you will get even more out. Each individual has what it takes to transform themselves it's just a matter of consistency, putting in the work and patience that will provide you the results. The folks here will be here to support and guide you when the going gets tough, you just got to dig deep and put it all out there. read more

Short version: If you want to be healthy and fit, go to CrossFit reason. I highly recommend it. Longer version: CF reason is located in downtown Arcadia. Right across boiling point and next to First Ave Middle School. There is plenty of street parking. There is also a lot in the back. The coaches are great. They are friendly and very knowledgable. Whatever your fitness goals are, the coaches can help you achieve it. The owner Eric is down to earth and super chill. The other coaches are cool as well. The overall friendliness of everyone is a big factor why decided to stick with CFR over 24, LA fitness and the other gyms in this area. Very safe and supportive environment. If you're not sure about CrossFit, I highly recommend you to try it out first first (you won't regret it). If you are consistent, you will see good changes in your body. You will be faster and able to lift weights you never thought you could. I know at first I was intimated by the heavy weights and the crazy workouts, but everything can be scaled. Workouts can be personalized to fit your needs and ability. Price is competitive with other places around the area. Actually, it's probably cheaper than most places. read more

Need a Reason to Crossfit? Check out Crossfit Reason! Okay lame joke! However, there is nothing lame about Crossfit Reason. I came here for a drop-in and they were very accommodating. With a click of a few buttons and data entry I was golden. Coach Eric was the COD "Coach of the Day"; I seriously have to quit with the lame jokes. Anyways, Eric was a humbling soft spoken person, but was very upbeat to learn about you as a person and what your goals are. Eric was very knowledgeable about the movements and the workout in general. He taught us about efficiency about the rowing, but also how much output your own body can take; not everyone was the same obviously. As the WOD started, Coach Eric kept a close eye on us to ensure we were properly completing the movements as prescribed. In the end, Crossfit Reason had a good layout of for a box and also the equipment was pretty new. However, like most Crossfit gyms; it's the community of people that makes Crossfit enjoyable. Coach Eric and many patrons of the gym were uber friendly and helped with coaching and also motivating you to do better. They shook my hands, gave me tips, and congratulated me in the end as if I was one of them instead of a drop-in. - Enjoy! read more

Great gym 10 out of 10 would recommend. Before joining this gym, I did not have any experience with CrossFit, but the coaches here were very knowledgeable, patient, and nice. Before every work out, they would throughly breakdown how to and how not to do every movement. My favorite thing about this gym is the community and how welcoming everyone is. They understand that everyone starts at different level, so they provide different alternatives to movements that fit your fitness capabilities, so that you can still get the stimulus of the work out. If you are hesitant about joining because you think you can't do a pull up or etc, you should give it a try because I couldn't before joining as well. I have been here for about a year and a half, and I have loss about 20 lbs since. CrossFit isn't some magical answer to getting more fit, you will definitely have to show up and put in the work yourself. They will give you all the tools you need to succeed, and it will be up to you how you want to use it. Another thing I like about this gym is, you will always be in a class setting where everyone is pushing themselves as hard as they can, which will motivate you to give it all you got as well. read more

I've been dropping in for months and I cannot say enough amazing things about this CrossFit gym. The coaches are so knowledgeable, patient, genuine, and the community is the best part about this gym. Eric, the owner is a very humble and funny guy. He loves to crack a joke and helps make the experiences enjoyable for members here. I've learned so much about the importance of technique and form and have realized how amazing it is to have a support group like reason. You learn the break down of each movement, how to apply them in our daily lives, and how functional it can be when done correctly. Over a period of time, I've seen consistent development in my form and have grown a tremendous amount of confidence that I apply in my personal life. Thanks Reason! read more

Attn: Pregnant/Postpartum Moms! I'm hijacking my husband's account and writing a review from the point of view of a mom of 2 boys (3 years old and a 6 month old). I didn't start membership here until I was 6 months postpartum with my first baby. After my 1st, I couldn't do the same workouts as I did before because of postpartum complications and my husband, a member for many years, suggested Reason to help me. I reluctantly signed up. I always felt that Crossfit seemed really intense and full of machismo bros but I was delightfully wrong. The coaches are wonderful caring people and incredibly accommodating. I never felt judged that I couldn't lift a certain weight or do a certain movement. If I couldn't do something, they would modify it so I would have the same stimulus as the other members. There is always this underlying message from the coaches that you may not be able to do this now, but you will soon. Let's make that a goal we work towards. I would also bring my baby (1.5 years old at the time). At first, he was awful and would always cry when it was time for the WODs (workout of the day) because I had to strap him into his stroller. It was difficult/embarrassing but sometimes the coaches or a member waiting for the next class would push my stroller around just so he would settle down and I could finish. I never asked. These amazing people just volunteered. More importantly, I never got any " you are a terrible mother" vibes/side eye from anyone. Eventually my little boy understood the routine and no longer cried but I am SO SO grateful everyone was empathetic enough to wait for him to learn. I don't know if I can find that kind of support at another gym. Now, he's great and would even help get weight clips for members. During my second pregnancy, I worked out at the gym until month 8. By then, my baby was hanging way too low and my doctor said I couldn't work out anymore because she didn't want me to go into early labor. Most of the exercises were modified and I felt safe. I've witnessed another member work out on the day of her due date because she didn't have the same issues I did. But..what about Covid? -Outdoor classes -Classes are capped -Everyone wears masks when they move around to get equipment -Temperature checks -Equipment is disinfected after every class -Zoom classes are available Most importantly: All members are RESPECTFUL. No one will get too close. I haven't been close enough to see someone's sweat droplets. I know they are sweaty because their skin looks shiny. No one will randomly touch things and not disinfect it. Coaches are also very diligent about maintaining "traffic" flow and designating spots/equipment to members. read more

I started coming to this gym because I wanted a challenge. I've been powerlifting for the past 4 years and playing basketball and vball on and off for the past 6 years or so, and the first time I came here for a workout, I was floored because the workout was just so tough. The coaches here are knowledgeable, professional, and passionate about your progress. The community here is unbeatable, as everyone comes into this gym to support each other's fitness journeys. If you're an active/atheltic person looking for your next challenge, this gym is definitely for you. They accept people of all athletic abilities and cater the workouts to your skillset. This definitely beats your typical 24 hour/LA fitness any day. Great coaches, supporting community, and a WOD that challenges you physically and mentally. 100% recommend!! read more

This is an amazing place to work out. I took a decades-long break from working out and fitness, and this place made it easy to slide back in. Eric, Rob, Luke and the rest of the coaches are awesome, full of advise and encouragement. I've been a member for close to a year now and I have definitely seen an improvement in my health and fitness. read more

Reason Fitness - Thanks Crossfit Reason for the awesome support in my fitness journey. Still have a ways to go, but with you with me, I know I can make it. - Trainers Near Me - Arcadia, California

It's the day after my first workout here and I am so freakin' sore but it's that I worked my ass off sore feeling. Mmm feels good. Coach Luke was awesome. He corrected me when my form was off and made sure I was comfortable with the mechanics of the workout. The best part of this gym is the community. There were people from all walks of life. Even at 6:30 am, you can feel the energy and positivity in the air. Positive. Clean facility. Community. I highly recommend this CrossFit gym! read more

I've been calling this place my second home for the last four years for a reason. It was the super effective workouts that brought me in, but it was the community that made me stay. A gym membership is useless if you only use it once every 3 months. Their coaches are not only experienced, but are also extremely supportive and will push you to become the best version of yourself. Crossfit Reason group workout classes entice me to get in better shape not only physically, but also mentally. read more

I am someone who never would have thought that I would do Crossfit, and I couldn't have come to a better place to prove myself wrong! Coaches are thoughtful and helpful, and the community is the best! I've also been so impressed by how well everyone adapted and persisted through the many changes brought by covid in prioritizing health in every way. I love this place so much read more

It's been just over a year since I first started CF here and I figured i'd write an update for the new location. I moved from the SGV to DTLA about a month ago, but I still make the drive out to Arcadia to work out 4-5 times a week. You can say that the people at this CF box is the "Reason" (see what I did there? hahaha...). I started at CF Reason after not working out for over 10 years and a borderline diabetic, significantly overweight (38% body fat) guy with very low stamina. At first I was apprehensive about working out, and frankly didn't enjoy it at all. I feared going to classes. Eventually, that fear turned into a desire to get fit and become a stronger person both physically and mentally. I'm now no longer an at-risk diabetic and have gone from an XL to an L shirt size and from a 42 to an actual 38 pant size. The new location is much larger and can accommodate more athletes than the previous one. One big improvement is that there's now a separate, secure room (WITH AIR CONDITIONING!!!!!) for rolling out and storing your belongings, not to mention there's a now two bathrooms with one that has a shower! What hasn't changed is that the coaching is still fantastic and the community Coach Eric has built remains extremely welcoming and tight knit. You'll always be encouraged to push yourself further, but everyone understands that we all have to start somewhere, and someone will always be there to make sure you feel safe and comfortable while still giving it your all. I could easily go to another box closer to where I live now, but the community here at Crossfit Reason is why I've stayed, and will continue to be my home CF box for many years to come. read more

Wanted to give an updated review after a couple of months progress on CrossFit Reason. I've been trying to go 4-5 times a week to do their WOD's and seen a 10lb weight loss. My cardio has gotten better, most notably my mile time went from 8:30 to 6:05! Also learning a lot about what you're capable of doing. Also what I noticed is that no matter how long you've been attending Reason, you will always get consistent coaching, different & challenging workouts, and be completely part of their family community. It's awesome! It's only 1-2 months and I feel like I know almost everyone already! Have even brought a couple of friends in during Bring a Friend day and they loved it as well. Tried to do my own WOD workout by myself at my previous global gym the other day, but it's so different doing it by yourself. Getting that push from the coaches and others makes it a really unique and fun experience. read more
