Even yelp leaves a warning message that they're inflating their reviews, smh. This place is dirty, bathrooms don't work, employees don't communicate about the details of signing up, and machines are broken half the time. Literally this gym sells nothing but ambiance and aesthetic. Recently spoke with Liz about canceling my membership. I was offered a discount for the following months & declined. Person at the front desk walked me through the process of canceling my membership online to only be told afterwards that my buddy pass was in a 12 month contract & i'd be paying for it until next February, which was never communicated with me. Now there's no main membership with an active buddy pass that I have to continue paying for without being able to utilize it! How does that even make sense? Scammers all the way around. I'll be causing hell until my buddy pass contract is cancelled.

I joined Rose City Barbell several months ago after hearing great things from friends and…read moreteammates, and it has been exactly what I was looking for. I wanted a gym where I could focus on strength training as its own discipline rather than blending it into a CrossFit or Hyrox-style workout. Just as importantly, I wanted consistent coaching and feedback so I could continue improving. I've tried classes at several other gyms in the area, but Rose City Barbell aligns perfectly with my current goals: learning proper strength movements, understanding progressive overload, and following thoughtful, well-structured programming. The coaching emphasizes building a strong foundation, proper technique, and sustainable progress. I never leave feeling beaten up or wondering how to get stronger--I leave knowing exactly what I'm working toward. As someone who is only five months removed from a major abdominal surgery, I'm especially grateful to have found this community. The coaches have helped me rebuild my strength safely and confidently. My favorite coaches are Kim and Sionann. Kim has an incredible eye for technique and always knows when to challenge me. She's the coach who points to the heavier dumbbells and says, "You can totally do that," when I would never have considered picking them up myself. Time and again, she's been right. Her attention to detail is exceptional, from movement cues to recommending the right footwear (or no footwear) for specific lifts. Sionann is equally skilled when it comes to coaching technique and providing effective cues. She has a gift for encouraging people to give their best effort, even on the mornings when they'd rather coast through the workout. She somehow manages to bring energy, positivity, and fun to every class--even at 6 a.m. Her encouragement helps everyone move better, work harder, and leave feeling accomplished. If you're looking for a gym that prioritizes strength, excellent coaching, and long-term progress, I can't recommend Rose City Barbell highly enough.

Clementine is the first trainer I've worked with who truly understands how to coach me…read more She pushes without theatrics. No over-the-top hype, no forced cheerleading energy. Just thoughtful programming, sharp feedback, and the right kind of pressure to grow. She knows how to meet me where I am and still expect more. What really sets her apart is how well she reads personality. She gives structure when I need it, honesty when I need it, and space to be vulnerable without making it weird. I've been able to talk openly about what feels hard, physically and mentally, and she responds with strategy, not fluff. I'm stronger, yes. But more importantly, I feel more capable in my body. And we make it fun!!! If you want smart coaching that respects your brain as much as your muscles, she's it.

The Pasadena location itself is smaller, 2 levels - one with cardio equipment and a lower floor for strength machines. They do offer personal training as well.

I went here exactly once and the Pasadena Equinox is so bad quality and had such horrendous service…read morethat it was enough for me to immediately reach out to GM and Equinox corporate management to request canceling my Equinox membership effective immediately. I've been an Equinox member on and off since 2013 -- and had great experiences at SF Union, SF Pine St, NYC locations, Tyson's and Glendale -- and never again. The Pasadena Equinox deviates from Equinox's documented general corporate policies and expect you to know this despite no signs, no notification and no advance notice (mentioning to members at check-in, etc.) The women's bathroom staff were extremely rude, unevenly applying their policies to prevent people in towels from entering shower and knocking on showers mid-shower to demand people exit mid-shower and saying "it's their policy and we should know" Note no manager was on duty -- I asked to speak to someone during gym business hours and there was no one at the gym to speak to -- and my email to the GM regarding this is unanswered. I'm attaching screenshot of Equinox's corporate policy regarding this -- Pasadena is not in line with the Equinox policy, which is 15 mins before close; not 30 -- and Pasadena doesn't document this anywhere. I can't wait to figure out another gym to support instead ASAP.

WOW! Do not go to this club! BEWARE!…read more I went here as a guest as my girlfriend is(was) a member. She had been going here for about 3 years. I would say a dedicated member. This would be my 3rd time coming as a guest. I wanted to show her how I do my kettlebell workout. I am not a professional trainer. I do not work in the fitness industry. I am just someone who likes to stay in shape and I am not a part of any Gym. My Gf is a personal trainer for a living. We started to work out with kettlebells, and I stood of to the side and helped her. Within 5 minutes a manager comes over and says" you are not allowed to do personal training" I said," what does it need to look like so it will not appear to be personal training. I am not training her." The Manager said" if you work out together, doing the same exercise that's ok" So we complied. For the next 45 minutes that is what we did. When we finally got to our last exercise of working out together. The general Manager, Madison Bin,(Super long fake eyelashes) shows up and in a crowded section to let us know we are still engaged in personal training. I asked her," which exercise can you confirm that personal training was going on?" She could not answer. Only to reply" my trainers saw you" Basically, no one saw us and wanted nothing more than to elevate the situation. After escalating the situation in front of their other members, my GF decided to terminate her membership and ask for a refund on the remaining amount. We walk to the lobby and my GF goes to talk to their senior salesman, Benson Frederick. This idiot proceeds to escalate the situation even more by accusing us right away of training and starts to yell at me right away to get out of his office. No discussion. No understanding. Just yelling "get out"! I do not engage with people when they start yelling and I walk out. He would continue to yell and even spell the word "Out" This is how they treat their guest. And if you come in with your significant other or close partner beware. I guess all the trainers think they are Tom Cruise in Mission Impossible and They will treat you like "Osama Bin Training"

The coaches are incredibly motivating, knowledgeable, and genuinely invested in helping you succeed, no matter your fitness level. Every workout is challenging but fun, and they do an amazing job of keeping things fresh so you never get bored. The structure, the music, the vibe--it all comes together to push you harder than you thought possible. I've seen real results in my strength, endurance, and overall confidence since joining. I especially have to give a shoutout to Coach Jazmin -- she is amazing. She brings so much energy to every class, pays attention to everyone's form, and really pushes you to do your best while still making the workouts fun. You can tell she genuinely cares about the members and wants everyone to succeed. What really sets this place apart is the community. Everyone is supportive, encouraging, and there's zero judgment--just people showing up and putting in the work together. If you're looking for a place that will push you, inspire you, and actually make you look forward to working out, Hardcore Fitness Pasadena is it. Highly, highly recommend!

Committing to just one gym is difficult when each person goes through their productive, creative, or hibernation periods. I've wanted a place that made me look forward to going and not finding reasons to skip out. After some time with ClassPass, a 45-day workout challenge and a dozen-full of memorable buddy pass classes later, I finally made a decision I've been happy with since. Basecamp for the win. Love their lower to upper to full body workout schedule, the alternation between cardio and strength, the change/rotation of class layouts, their equipment, and of course, the instructors and team themselves. Special appreciation for the 9am goers because they became a solid community for me when I was going through some post-grad life transitions and turbulence. Somehow, when I was considering what to properly invest in while sacrificing to save money from other things, this was a good alternative investment that has sparked back some love for workout classes again. Well-deserved shout outs to Coaches Nick, Jacqueline, and Oliver and the front desk team. If you're looking for a motivating space, it's a good place for a comeback and a fresh start. Yes, I'm talking to you "New Year, New Me'rs". The time is right around the corner and I promise it's a sweet compliment to the place.

Both of my daughters, who play club volleyball, have been coming to Jump Lab since August of this year. We first heard about this place after seeing many other volleyball players train here, so we decided to give it a try. Our goal was to help our girls improve their strength, speed, and vertical...all things that are very important for volleyball. We started with the 3-months program to see how they liked it, and we've already seen great improvements in their overall athletic performance. Their movements are stronger and more explosive, and we can tell the training is really helping them on the court. The coaches there (Coach Morgan) are professional, knowledgeable, and encouraging. They pay attention to each athlete's needs and push them to reach their full potential. Our girls like to train there because they see the results themselves, and we truly appreciate the positive environment and the results we're seeing. We already referred many (teammates and friends) to Jump Lab and I think many more will join after they see our results. We highly recommend Jump Lab to any athlete who wants to get stronger, faster, and more confident in their sport.
