I've had an outstanding and truly life-changing experience with this fitness program. Within just…read morethree months, I lost approximately 17 pounds of body fat while also building muscle, which significantly improved my overall body shape. This transformation did not happen by chance--it required strong commitment and consistency. I wake up at 5:00 AM every day, drive about 25 minutes, and start my workout at 6:00 AM for a full hour. The structured program, supportive environment, and disciplined routine have been essential in keeping me on track. One of the standout features of this place is their use of advanced tools and professional equipment to monitor progress. They track body composition, fat loss, and muscle gain with great precision, making the entire process clear, measurable, and highly motivating. In addition, the team provided me with a professionally designed and well-structured diet plan tailored specifically to my goals. The nutrition program is practical, healthy, and extremely effective in delivering real, lasting results. One of the most noticeable signs of my progress was having to replace many of my clothes because they became too loose--clear evidence of the transformation I've achieved. Mehdi and his wife run this business with exceptional professionalism. It truly feels like a well-managed family business, which I deeply respect and always prefer to support. Occasionally, their son joins the workouts, adding a warm, personal touch and positive energy to the environment. If you're looking to lose weight naturally and in a healthy way--without shortcuts or injections--this is the right place. With your commitment, combined with their structured program and strong team support, achieving your goals is absolutely possible. Highly recommended. I had a great and really different experience with this fitness suite. In just three months, I was able to lose about 17 pounds of body fat and build muscle at the same time. As a result, my body shape changed dramatically and improved. This success was completely dependent on commitment and discipline. I wake up at 5 am every day, drive about 25 minutes, and start training for an hour at 6 am. The regular schedule, supportive environment, and positive energy of this complex played a very important role in keeping me motivated and continuing on the path. One of the main strengths of this complex is the use of advanced tools and equipment to accurately check and analyze the state of the body. They professionally track your fat, muscle, and progress, which makes the path completely transparent and measurable. In addition, the team of this complex designed a very professional and targeted nutrition plan for me that was perfectly tailored to my goals. It was healthy, feasible, and very effective, and played a significant role in achieving results. One of the interesting results of this path was that I had to change a lot of my clothes because they no longer fit me--which is a real and tangible change. Mehdi and his wife manage this complex with a very high level of professionalism. This is a true family business, run with commitment, precision, and responsibility. Sometimes their son even comes to the training sessions, which creates an even more intimate atmosphere and positive energy. If you are looking to lose weight naturally, healthily, and without using shortcuts like injections, this is one of the best choices. Of course, personal commitment is very important, but with a careful plan, a professional team, and the support of this complex, achieving results is completely possible. I highly recommend it.

Gym's response alludes to the manager informing me about the 50% off disclaimer over the phone. She did tell me the offer wont apply online because I did the trial class but she did not inform me it only applies to the unlimited class. Both the email and over the phone communication had no mention of what membership offer applies to. After my initial trial class, I was interested in signing up for membership. I received an email with a 50% off your first month offer with zero disclaimers or details such as what type of membership offer applies to. When I clicked the link, offer didnt work so I called the gym. Person over the phone said they can apply the offer in person. When I went to class, front desk told me offer only applies to the unlimited membership. I informed her the email and the person I spoke to didnt tell me that. She asked if I would like to join the class while she checks with the manager. After class she confirmed it only applies to unlimited membership. I told her if the email or person over the phone told me then I would have planned this better bc I will be out of town for the next 2 weeks. Ultimately I did not sign up. The lack of clear communication made me concerned about how future situations might be handled and ended up having to pay for the single class price.

They are opening a new location in Costa Mesa but that is still tbd with no set open date. So until then they've rerouted members to this location in Laguna Hills. I was skeptical at first because it's further for me than going to the location in the Irvine business district. Also the Irvine location was bigger but the classes were packed and the ventilation there was awful!! The class would smell terrible from everyone's BO, sweat, and dust and dirty equipment. So I was very skeptical about giving a new spot a shot in case it was even worse. But I took my first class here at the Laguna Hills location and loved it! Marya was teaching the class and she was such a good trainer. The class size was smaller there were about 6 of us, and the classroom was well kept, much cleaner, and I love the the walls have garage doors that go up and open to allow for plenty of fresh air. Bathrooms were clean and the equipment was newer. Until the Costa Mesa location opens I'll be very happy coming here instead!

One thing that got to me was the metal clanging of the barbells on the floor after each rep. Ouch! Perhaps a plastic barbell lock would be a better option than the metal one.

I was looking to make some positive changes in my lifestyle and decided to find a gym. That's when…read moreI came across HIIT It Fitness, and I loved that they offered a free class. I took my free class with Coach Shay, and she was absolutely amazing, so welcoming and supportive, and she guided me through everything. I then tried the 1-week trial, and I just knew this was the place for me. From day one, I felt comfortable and encouraged. The coaches truly care and take the time to make sure you feel confident and motivated, always there to answer any questions or concerns you have along the way. I recently completed my one year with HIIT It and I feel stronger than ever and can really see the changes in my body. You will find all fitness levels here, beginners, intermediate, and advanced, and every workout can be modified to fit your ability, which makes a huge difference. This place is truly the best. It's not just a gym, it's a supportive, welcoming community where you can grow, feel challenged, and actually enjoy the process.

I saw this place on ClassPass and it was pretty new, so I decided to give it a try. I went to 3…read moreclasses total to get a feel of this place. HIIT It is located in a little plaza that has good amount of parking. It is a relatively new place with the 1 year anniversary coming up when I visited. All 3 days I came here, Shaylynn was the instructor, and she is one of the owners as well. Your first session you have to come 20 minutes early to go over the process and some equipment they have. Everything is pretty standard except the Ancore system and the ropes they use. The ropes are different as it's more in the wrist. Didn't use them in any of the workouts but I did a quick try and it was interesting. The Ancore is a pulley weight system that is easy to use. Make sure you bring your own towel or they do charge for one. The classes itself I have to judge in two ways. For beginners/older people who want a little less cardio and more focus on slow movements, HIIT It is perfect. You have 5 stations with two exercises at each station. You do 45 second rounds three times at each station. Unlike other places, they focus more on slow, controlled movements throughout the round rather than as many rep as possible. For more advanced people, this allows you to focus on a little heavier weights to challenge yourself. The main reason I knock it down 1 star is that for intermediate to advanced, it is a bit slow. My heart rate is about 10bpm less for the average throughout the entire workout and I barely break a sweat. The hardest day was for me the lower body day as there was a bit more cardio in there. I did like that the pace allowed me to go a bit heavier and focus on the muscle in each exercise though. Overall, I think HIIT It is a good gym, particularly for people looking for a little less intimidating class. Shaylynn did an excellent job motivating, correcting form, and challenging people throughout the workout. To me, it looked like they were building a good community too based on the member's interactions with each other. Plus for their anniversary party, 60 people reserved to go, so that says something about the community they are building. I will be back on days where I want to change my usual pace and will add it to my rotation of gyms.

-3 stars for trash coach forcing awkward political conversation, sexual harrassment, degradation, and general rudeness -1 star for removing my review :) +1 star for having decent equipment This place is homophobic, racist, republican-centric, and the place to be if you want to feel like shit every time you walk in a gym. Look elsewhere. There are better gyms with better environments. I've been doing crossfit over a decade and this is the only gym that has ever allowed coaches to push political bullshit onto clientele. ie: Because I am a white guy, the single hispanic coach made it his daily goal to berate, harass, and insult me. I complained several times and was told 'get over it'. This gym was a million times better before Paul left. He was the original visionary for the gym and now it's just a shell of what it once was. Don't go here. Don't support these people. The GM - Mike Starich - came from Blizzard. A quick Google search will tell you all you need to know about the culture at that game studio. It's no wonder that he will turn a blind eye to any sexual harrassment(!), any racism(!), and any 'frat-boy culture'... Several complaints went by the wayside during my time at this gym... Can't imagine why! Also can't imagine this would've ever happened if Paul were still here. Mike Starich is to Ruination what Bobby Kotick is to Blizzard: A waste. Don't go here. This is not a good gym anymore. They don't produce quality athletes anymore. Programming is average at best (it used to be some of the best in Orange County). The best thing this place has going for it is that it's got some decent equipment.. Other than that, you can get a much better crossfit experience WITHOUT the harrassment and degradation from coaches at a number of other facilities in the area. :) Fuck Ruination. Used to be so great until they ruined it read more

My fiancee and I are from Lewiston, ID and this last week were visiting some of my family down in the OC. When they found out we've been off and on CrossFit the last 9 months they were rather adament about taking us to their box. I'll admit, I was kind of nervous but when I got there I realized there was no reason for me to be. Everyone, instructors and members included, were encouraging and knew our names from the get-go. I've been to CrossFit boxes where it was a clique and you had to prove yourself first to fit in, but it wasn't like that here. Everyone was open and friendly which made it easy for Clay and I to feel comfortable and right at home. Paul was our coach for the day and he was amazing! From past experience Clay and I have both had a coach whose idea of coaching form was pointing one of the best people out in the group and telling us to watch that person. To us (and anyone else) that isn't coaching. Paul will coach you through form in a way that isn't embarrassing but very informative and encouraging. He is a competitive CrossFitter so he knows what he's saying. I gave Ruination 5 stars for yes, the friendliness, and yes, the coaching. I also rated them 5 stars because the box itself is open and CLEAN. It felt like everything I touched had been cleaned and I wasn't touching 5 years of built up sweat. The workout itself was challenging but achievable. I hadn't worked out in 4 months and I nailed it. I almost puked but I nailed it. If we lived in the area, this would be our box. If YOU live in the area, I encourage you to try it because I know if you're looking for a CrossFit community you'll love them. read more

This is my favorite box. It has plenty of space, quality equipment, and a welcoming and athletically diverse community. Paul, Rich, and Tess, the coaches, are super friendly, current, knowledgeable, and awesome motivators. There is also always something new to try, from the "pig" or logs they picked up from the latest CrossFit Games, to bamboo bars, to a variety of grips for the rig. Although I do not live in Southern CA, I am sometimes there for weeks at a time. The programming at Ruination is informed, focused, and creative. It allows for members to come to the gym as often as they want, and really improve in strength and fitness. At the end of the day, if you're about results, this gym is the best I have experienced. read more

Within just…read morethree months, I lost approximately 17 pounds of body fat while also building muscle, which significantly improved my overall body shape. This transformation did not happen by chance--it required strong commitment and consistency. I wake up at 5:00 AM every day, drive about 25 minutes, and start my workout at 6:00 AM for a full hour. The structured program, supportive environment, and disciplined routine have been essential in keeping me on track. One of the standout features of this place is their use of advanced tools and professional equipment to monitor progress. They track body composition, fat loss, and muscle gain with great precision, making the entire process clear, measurable, and highly motivating. In addition, the team provided me with a professionally designed and well-structured diet plan tailored specifically to my goals. The nutrition program is practical, healthy, and extremely effective in delivering real, lasting results. One of the most noticeable signs of my progress was having to replace many of my clothes because they became too loose--clear evidence of the transformation I've achieved. Mehdi and his wife run this business with exceptional professionalism. It truly feels like a well-managed family business, which I deeply respect and always prefer to support. Occasionally, their son joins the workouts, adding a warm, personal touch and positive energy to the environment. If you're looking to lose weight naturally and in a healthy way--without shortcuts or injections--this is the right place. With your commitment, combined with their structured program and strong team support, achieving your goals is absolutely possible. Highly recommended. I had a great and really different experience with this fitness suite. In just three months, I was able to lose about 17 pounds of body fat and build muscle at the same time. As a result, my body shape changed dramatically and improved. This success was completely dependent on commitment and discipline. I wake up at 5 am every day, drive about 25 minutes, and start training for an hour at 6 am. The regular schedule, supportive environment, and positive energy of this complex played a very important role in keeping me motivated and continuing on the path. One of the main strengths of this complex is the use of advanced tools and equipment to accurately check and analyze the state of the body. They professionally track your fat, muscle, and progress, which makes the path completely transparent and measurable. In addition, the team of this complex designed a very professional and targeted nutrition plan for me that was perfectly tailored to my goals. It was healthy, feasible, and very effective, and played a significant role in achieving results. One of the interesting results of this path was that I had to change a lot of my clothes because they no longer fit me--which is a real and tangible change. Mehdi and his wife manage this complex with a very high level of professionalism. This is a true family business, run with commitment, precision, and responsibility. Sometimes their son even comes to the training sessions, which creates an even more intimate atmosphere and positive energy. If you are looking to lose weight naturally, healthily, and without using shortcuts like injections, this is one of the best choices. Of course, personal commitment is very important, but with a careful plan, a professional team, and the support of this complex, achieving results is completely possible. I highly recommend it.

We saw on their IG that they had a deal going where you can purchase a day pass for $25 and then bring a friend for $10. The person working the front desk said she needed permission from the owner to run this deal. He said no. We were already there so we paid for 2. Decided to warm up with cardio and headed over the cardio area. I got on a treadmill that was open and immediately had a lady get in my face and yell that that was her treadmill and to get off. We did our workout and on our way out the person at the front counter asked if we would like to sign up. We said no, when asked why I mentioned the deal not being honored but hearing it being honored to other people. The. I mentioned the overly aggressive exchange with the lady on the treadmill. The front desk person wanted to know who it was immediately but when I described them I was told that she was the owner's girlfriend so there was nothing she could do about it. If you are someone who doesn't look like a body builder, or body exists outside of what society says a body should be I wouldn't come here. Society demands fat bodies to atone for their bodies, to shrink themselves and change their bodies. But when they do they are treated like they don't belong.

The gym itself is clean, spacious, and laid out perfectly -- nothing feels cramped or poorly placed. Everyone who goes here is actually there to work out. People are kind, respectful, and courteous, and you don't deal with the space-hogging or awkward gym behavior you see elsewhere. As a mom, the 24-hour access is everything. On days when you can't commit to a specific time due to all the different schedules kids have but still need to get your workout in, it's a total game changer. The equipment is truly top-tier -- honestly the best I've seen, and I've been to a lot of gyms over the years. You can tell real thought went into what they offer. On top of all of that, Ashley, the manager, is incredible. She is so kind, caring, and courteous, and truly exceeds expectations as a manager. She's also extremely responsive and makes you feel genuinely supported, which adds so much to the overall experience. I'm genuinely obsessed with this place. It is 100% worth the price, and I continue to be impressed every time I walk in.

Note: she cares more about your form than your effort- she says getting form and technique down now- will help me in my long term goals of health and longevity. As a post menopausal lady, with a little extra weight - I feel seen, guided, and empowered. These are not feelings that I normally associate with a gym or physical fitness. I normally feel like an awkward turtle on my back. Thank you Tara

They help guide correct form and technique on the workout planned out for the day. I preferred the 5am classes and they had members who had been coming in for years visibility fitter and stronger. This program is different than other gyms or workout programs I was part of in the sense Ali works closely with ensuring you stay on your journey and helps with meal planning based on body type and goals. Highly recommend someone who wants to have a personalized workout program to be stronger than before.

As a 47 yr old man, I've had many trainers over the past 20 years, but Ali has been my favorite since he is very mild mannered...he is not over the top...he is down-to-earth and focused on results. He comes up with strategies if he notices anything that needs to be fixed, i.e. if muscle gain is slowing down he points out what could be improved nutrition-wise (more protein, adding creatine). Or if muscle growth seems asymmetrical he notices and makes adjustments accordingly. Again, I can't emphasize enough how "normal" he is, as opposed to many of the OC trainers who are covered in tattoos, clubbing at night, and telling you about their personal problems. Ali is very wholesome and successful, so there is no drama with him. His boutique gym has everything you need, especially if you understand how compound movements really increase growth, so plenty of free weights, racks, cages, bands, kettles, etc, not to mention 24 hr access and a great sound system.

I recently joined Forge Fitness and am so happy I did! The gym is organized and well structured,…read moreand you can tell a lot of thought goes into the programming. Every workout feels balanced and intentional with a big focus on proper form and progressive overload. They also do a great job meeting people where they are and tailoring things to different fitness levels and personal goals. The environment is incredibly welcoming. The coaches -- Craig, Angela, Jamie, and Michael -- are knowledgeable, supportive and genuinely invested in helping everyone improve. They're encouraging, attentive and great at coaching both the "why" and the "how" behind each movement -- which I personally really appreciate! I've tried a lot of different workout styles over the years (F45, Orangetheory, pilates, spin, etc.), and while they were all great in their own ways, Forge's purposeful approach to strength and mobility is what really sets it apart. The supportive, low ego atmosphere makes it feel like a true community too. Highly recommend you check them out to see if you like their style and programming!

This will be my last post, I hate arguing with children much older than me…read more Clearly this man is 1) An incredible liar. Door was propped open. 2) Ungodly unprofessional person. No idea who gave this man the money to start a business but good luck with that investment. He says look at my reviews i give a lot of 1 stars. Well guess what buddy you joined the club! Read the reviews they are all honest and accurate. Not only that, but read the 3 and 5 stars as well. Which out number the 1 stars. The fact that this is your reply reaffirms my previous statements yet again. Doubling down on why no one should join this club. I find it offensive that you are in one of my favorite shopping centers in RSM. I will be joining a big chain and I hope everyone who reads this review knows how vile of a person this owner is. Again don't just take my word for it, this business has more 1 star reviews with similar sentiments. I assume he will reply to this in an attempt to slander and mislead people. Those who are apart of his gym, i hope it works out for you, for everyone else, there's a 24 hr fitness within a block of this place.
