Love the mega screen in the front - however it was very underutilized. I wish they would develop more graphics animations, live stats, more engaging use of the mega screen. The mega screen is a big selling point and draw of the design but it really only lights up every 1-2 minutes when it could be used constantly throughout the class since you look at it often. The lockers space and merch space was very nice. The merch space especially felt prime Nike on brand - seemed like you were at a mini nike store which is fantastic. The HIIT workout was a bit disengaged as the instructor is being pulled to lead both the run and the workout which is fine we see this in RUMBLE and BARRYS however, the design has the megascreen split the room in the middle with a wall so it does feel disengaged like two separate classes was going on instead of one unifed class and attention. Also the workouts are on the TV screen to follow and the instructor are not in the center of the room to demonstrate it but rather on the far left of the room next to the wall of the megascreen.

They did offer various types of classes, obviously with a mix of running in them. Mine was a combo of legs, back, and biceps; having both treadmill session as well as floor session. During the treadmill session, there's pace range assigned throughout the session so you could follow what your body could actually afford. It's multiple transitions of sprints and cooldowns, ended by the session where you would nail your personal one-mile record. The floor session was similarly fun. Different movements instructed in the beginning, which you could repeat as much as you could at your own speed. It did utilize some equipment and involved some weight lifting. It's overall an amazing workout session and I doubtlessly sweated like crazy. Such an effective hour of calorie-burning!

When lifting weights, it's crucial to make sure you are using the proper form. Adding another coach will allow people to have more 1:1 attention when needed. Not a great place for beginners, in my opinion. Free but limited parking when you enter the alley.

Annenberg Community Beach House has a great location and concept, but our experience was mixed. I…read morecame here with my daughter hoping for a relaxing afternoon of sun and pool time, and while it has potential, there were several limitations that made it less enjoyable than expected. Timing really matters here. It is best to come during off hours if you want any chance of getting a lounge chair to set your belongings down or take a break. When it is busy, seating is very limited and can get crowded quickly. The pool itself is not ideal for young children or anyone expecting a gradual entry. There is no graded or zero-depth entrance. Instead, you enter via a ladder directly into about four feet of water, with a rope separating this area from the deeper section. This setup may be fine for confident swimmers, but it felt less family-friendly than anticipated. Conversely, if you are looking to swim laps, this is not a lap pool. It is purely recreational. The changing and bathroom area is very open, and the showers offer no privacy. The shower water was also quite cold, which was not especially comfortable, particularly for kids. If you are expecting enclosed changing rooms or warm showers, this may be disappointing. Parking is public street parking only, paid at meters, which adds another layer of planning and cost. Overall, while the beach house is in a beautiful spot and can be enjoyable under the right circumstances, the lack of amenities, limited seating, and less-than-ideal pool and changing facilities make it hard to fully relax or recommend, especially for families with young children.

Santa Monica Music Camp

If you are serious about your child's music education and are contemplating this camp, please read…read moreon. We had been excitedly about the Santa Monica Music Camp for my almost 6 year-old son, but the reality turned out to be far different from what was advertised. Before the camp, we as parents were asked to complete a form to indicate the child's instrument. I selected keyboard/piano because that's what my son had been playing since he was younger, and I thought this week at the camp would be a great opportunity for him to hone his existing piano skills. However, I found out later in the week that my son had actually been playing guitar, completely different from what I had signed him up. The problem lies in non-disclosure about the switch of music instrument from their advertisement materials or pre-camp forms. In *none* of the forms does it state that your child might play a completely different instrument than the one that the parent had indicated. I wrote to the director but received no response. One staff told me "whatever instrument the child wants to play, they can play that." One staff member pointed to the language on the website that the child can experience all sorts of instrument as the reason that they don't need to inform parents if the child switches the instrument than the one for which the parent had signed the child up. The staff do not ensure that each child plays 3 hours of music, as advertised: What drew us to this place is that on the advertisement, it states "your child will enjoy playing music 3 hours". This sounded incredible since many of us parents needed to cajole our kid to practice their instruments at home. But, what one staff member informed me was that, "if you child does not feel like playing the instrument, we don't make them play the instrument." Okay, I understand that it can be difficult to encourage a reluctant child to play an instrument, but there seems to be general lack of effort to encourage reluctant children to engage, to actual play music. I was told that if the child walks away during rehearsal, the staff will just let the child walk away and do other things. When I asked, "then it is possible that they could learn nothing because they are not practicing?" The staff responded, "Ma'am, this is a camp. If you want your child to learn something, you should sign up for our individual lessons." I was dismayed at the attitude of the staff member who kept emphasizing that this is a *camp*, effectively asking me to not have much expectation of what my child would learn from the music camp. It seems that they do not pay much attention to the learning objectives of the campers, unless we sign up for individual lessons. Recital: The music camp touts itself for the end-of-the-week recital. However, you need to be aware that your child might not be in the recital. First of all, no audience is allowed at the recital. Second, after the recital, along with the videos of the recital that the staff sends out, the staff email states that "If your child is not featured in the instrument recital, it is because THEY made the personal decision to opt out. We did not want to force any kids to participate if they did not want to." This needs to be made transparent and known to the parents *before* the recital and in the advertisement materials. Other things that I wished I had known before signing up for Santa Monica music camp: --Early care and late care/ AM-PM care (before 9 and after 3pm) It currently costs $10/hour. Sounds great and affordable. However, early and late care is literally TV-care! They have a large television area where the TV is on with a bunch of seats around it. And I see the early care kids all sitting around the television, with little engagement from the staff. Late care? Same thing. It should be renamed "TV-care." --General level of disorganization: The school makes a binder for every child. My child's binder was missing the first day, and no one knows what happened to it. I was promised that his re-made binder would have music sheets in it. However, the whole week went by without any music sheets. Overall, the reality is a far cry from the advertisement. Unfortunately, my son did not learn much from this experience. Even though it was one week, it was one week of precious time lost. If you have a child on the younger side (5,6,7), I do not recommend this camp for the reasons above. They seems to be understaffed to teach the instruments, and some (not all) staff do not seem to have the motivation to help re-direct the younger children. There were some staff member who tried to address my concerns, such as David, which I appreciate. However, there were other staff members who unfortunately do not have any expectations or goals for our children.

They have so much fun playing their music and learning theory in a fun and relaxed environment.

I've been a member at Row House for three months now, and my experience has been nothing short of fantastic. Today, however, they truly went above and beyond, and I feel compelled to share my experience. Due to unforeseen and severe traffic congestion in the area, caused by multiple construction projects, I missed my usual Express 30-minute class at noon. Concerned about being charged a cancellation fee and losing my last class credit for the month, I reached out to the team at Row House. Not only were they understanding and compassionate about the situation, but they also assured me that I wouldn't be charged and went the extra mile to accommodate me in a later class at 4:30 PM. This was my first class with Jackson as the instructor, and I was thoroughly impressed. He was incredibly welcoming, friendly, and his energy was contagious. It turned what could have been a disappointing day into a positive experience. His ability to create an inviting atmosphere for someone attending his class for the first time speaks volumes about the quality of instructors at Row House. I usually pride myself on punctuality and was initially distressed about the situation. However, the swift and accommodating response from Row House not only alleviated my concerns but also reinforced my decision to be a part of this community. Their flexibility and understanding are commendable, and it's clear they truly value their members. To anyone considering joining Row House, I cannot recommend them enough. The services, classes, and instructors like Jackson make it an unparalleled experience. They've created an environment where fitness goals are met with enthusiasm, support, and genuine care for each member's journey. Thank you, Row House, for your exceptional service and for going the extra mile. I look forward to many more classes and continuing my fitness journey with you. Best, Paige Henning read more

I'm SO glad I clicked on one of those Facebook ads for RowHouse and decided to give it a try- I started out as a first time rower taking an outdoor class during Quarantine and have been attending consistently ever since for the last 8 months! I honestly never get bored- each session flies by and I always feel great afterwards- Coaches Piper, Savage, Casey, and Colman are all super entertaining and play great music to get you pumped. There are even fun "themed" rows just to keep things interesting! Classes are dynamic (weights, body weight, cardio, stretching, etc) and geared towards all levels, and the coaches all really take their time to help get you started and keep you motivated as they celebrate each milestone you achieve in your personal rowing journey. The owners and all staff are super friendly, helpful, and accommodating - they take their time to get to know you and make sure you are enjoying the workouts. Taking classes around 3 to 4 times a week for the last several months absolutely helped me to shed some excess lbs and get much stronger. My arms are for sure the most toned they've ever been, which was great for my recent wedding! Truly can't recommend this place enough! read more

I have been taking classes at Row House since they started outside. I cannot give enough kudos to the owners, Jen, Adam and Amanda. They have really adapted to the "new norm" of outdoor fitness. They are constantly enhancing the experience for the members. Now they added full length canopies to block the sun and flooring (fake grass :) ). I have been mixing up the classes so I can try the new coaches. Today was with Coleman. He was FUN! I don't usually laugh during class and today I was. Great energy and very interactive with the members. Kendra is another newbie and was awesome. She was very energetic and great motivation. Loved her class. Also big shout out to Jenny "Savage" who is a fav of mine. She keeps me on my toes (actually off my toes and on my heels) in class. Highly recommend taking any of these three coaches.

I have been a Rowhouse member for over 3 years and love this gym in general. I have had nothing but awesome experiences here in terms of both working out and the community of friends and coach friends I've built. So 5 stars, in general. In terms of coaches, Sara and Maggie are top notch. These wild ladies will push you to the limit and encourage you to keep going when you need it most and make you feel so powerful and strong both physically and emotionally. I just finished a Saturday class that Sara coached and I am exhausted in the best way. She coached "full row" the way it SHOULD be coached. Non-stop, crazy INTENSE workout. I feel like not a minute was wasted and I got everything out of today that I possibly could have. I'm leaving the gym feeling SO strong. Absolutely looooove! read more

Beyond being an awesome environment, these workouts will challenge you and cut you up--- so you are looking and feeling your best! This is a 1000% times better than just going to the gym without a plan or going for a run. You will see results, track your stats in app and it might also help the things you can't see. I saw my cholesterol significantly drop after about 6-8 months of regular rowing. You might row yourself to a better body and a longer life! read more

I, like most people, struggle to find the will to head to the gym to work out. Fortunately, I discovered Row House. Being an older guy, I was looking for a low impact workout that left me feeling drained...but in a good way. The trainers at Row House are high energy and for the most part approachable to members. Piper is one of my favorite coaches as she has just the right mix of toughness and encouraging positive energy done in a light hearted motivating way. Her self depricating style is attractive and she doesn't make you feel ashamed for not always being able to keep up with the others. I've never stayed with an exercise regime as long as I have with Row House. read more

I joined BoxUnion Santa Monica in June 2023, and it has been such a great part of my fitness…read moreroutine. Oscar, the front desk manager, was truly one of a kind, he remembered everyone's name, was so personable, and his energy made the studio feel like home. All of the front desk staff are great, but Oscar's warmth was unforgettable, and I think the studio really thrived with that kind of welcoming vibe. Cory and Lo are incredible instructors. They go hard on us from start to finish, always bringing the energy and encouragement we need to push through. Lo's dance moves are next-level (love you, Lo!) and Cory's motivation is unmatched, you can tell they love what they do, and it makes a huge difference in class. The studio itself offers thoughtful touches like hair ties, deodorant, shampoo, conditioner, and all kinds of toiletries for anyone who wants to shower after class. Those details don't go unnoticed and make the experience even better. One thing I'd love to see is more variety in the playlists, maybe a little country or some Latino mixes to keep things fresh. Also, the workouts feel different depending on the instructor, and while some classes are more laid-back, I personally prefer the high-energy, sweat-dripping style that Cory and Lo bring. The room does get warm, which is challenging for me since I have multiple sclerosis, but I know others love that heated, intense vibe. Overall, BoxUnion is a solid studio with so much potential, and the energy from coaches like Cory and Lo really keeps me coming back. With a little more music variety and that welcoming, community vibe I remember from when Oscar was around, it could easily be a five-star experience.

I highly recommend BoxUnion! My first time trying boxing, and I loved it!…read more Chelsea Martin is a great human being born to coach and motivate people! I came 10 minutes before the class started, and she gave me the rundown and demonstrated the elemental punches. Next thing you know, the room is full of highly motivated people, bomb A** music, and I started to move my body quickly, throwing punches left and right. I'm a total boxing newbie, but I could still follow along and get a great sweat. You start by throwing punches without the gloves and then with them. There is also some floor work, abs, and total body movements. The last part is all you, baby, throwing punches and leaving everything behind. The facility is very organized and neat, and there are cubbies with locks on them, clean bathrooms, showers, towels, etc. You can rent or buy their hand wraps and boxing gloves. If it's your first time, you will get them for free. You can also bring your own! Parking -If you come to an early morning class, at 6 AM or 7 AM, you can find parking on the street by the meters, and you don't have to put coins in since it's free before 8 AM. This area gets bust, so if you come later, you will have to park in one of the lots nearby' there are plenty of lots in the area as this area is high tourist.

Exceptional class led by Chandler. Her instructions were clear and easy to follow and her…read moredemonstrations made the moves accessible. The studio offers ample on-site parking which is a huge plus and the team altogether was warm, friendly and welcoming. I also appreciated that mats are provided. Some drawbacks were the spacing between the mats. It felt tight especially during movements that required extending arms. I also wasn't a fan of the pre-assigned spots.

I came here with a friend that is a member. I took and HPF class and wow i was impressed! I've…read moretaken HPF at other studios but nothing like this one. I was hesitant at first about the room not being the same temperature I'm used to (I'm used to hot af rooms) but honestly there was no need! The poses really kicked my butt in the best way! If i didn't despise LA traffic so much id become a member here. The staff was amazing! The instructor was so soft spoken and it really mattered especially when you're holding a pose for 4 minutes at a time! I love the ending of class with a nice palo santo lit ahh it was perfect! Parking is easy as well! They have a lot and also street parking.

The class itself was fun, the instructor explained everything, and checked on me during class. The room is spacious enough for everyone to move around. The music/playlist was fire! There is a little bit of strength, Pilates, cardio, and stretching- so it's a great option on days when you don't feel like spinning or weightlifting, sweating too much at hot yoga class, or getting up on the reformer, but you still want a workout session that's gonna get you moving and sweating without overthinking. Not too challenging but also not easy. They don't have showers, but they do offer lockers, clean bathrooms, some skincare products, a three-mirror area for getting ready, and a water fountain. Since it was Saturday morning, I easily found parking by the meter outside on the street.

Great workout! Such a unique concept, especially with the Pvolve mat. I got a good sweat in earlier…read morethis week. Our instructor made sure to work out all parts of our body and my legs were even a bit sore the day after. The instructor encouraged us to share any injuries or sensitivities we have so she could take those into account. We love a mindful approach. While this was a great, sweat-inducing workout, it should be noted that it's also inclusive. There was a pregnant woman in the class I took who was able to participate and if I remember correctly, the instructor gave her some safer modifications. Parking can be a challenge because... Santa Monica. But if you go up the hill, past Gnarwhal, you can find residential street parking (just make sure to read the signs). Bonus points for them having personal care products from Tower 28 and R&co that are free to use if you need a post class touch up
