I have been coming to Flex Base for the past month. I first tried their three-class trial, then…read moresigned up for the 10-class intro offer, and I sometimes mix in classes through ClassPass. The owner, Michelle, is incredibly knowledgeable, and you can tell she truly knows what she is doing. The workout format is honestly genius. I have been lifting for years and have tried many HIIT gyms, but I would not necessarily describe Flex Base as HIIT, even though the setup may look similar. It is more focused on strength training and progressive overload, with enough time to lift properly, rest between sets, and actually go heavy. Each class is divided into four zones, with two to three exercises per zone and about 10 to 12 minutes at each one. This gives you enough time to comfortably complete three quality sets without feeling rushed. The same workouts are also repeated for four weeks, allowing you to improve your form, increase your weights, and track your progress. If you have been around fitness and gyms for a while, you know that consistency is the only real way to progress. I love that Michelle has simplified this concept and made it accessible to the community. Flex Base is still a newer gym, but it is growing and has so much potential. I keep seeing the same faces week after week, which says a lot about the community Michelle is building. The trainers are very hands-on, and the environment is kind, welcoming, and supportive. I would recommend Flex Base to both beginners and experienced lifters. Every workout can be adjusted to your fitness level, and the trainers are always there to help with modifications, form, choosing the right weight, or even spotting you during lifts. On a personal level, I am also very grateful for this place. I work at LAX and commute from Orange County, so some days I spend 11 to 12 hours between work and driving. Flex Base has become a much-needed mental escape where I can get a quality workout in after work or occasionally during my lunch break. Definitely give it a try. You can find their three-class trial through Mindbody, and I recommend giving yourself a little time to become familiar with the workouts and the community. It is absolutely worth it!

As someone who hadn't lifted weights in decades, I was honestly nervous about starting again in my 50s. From day one, everything exceeded my expectations. Their commitment to proper form and technique creates a very safe place to train. Each session builds on the last, so you feel progress without feeling overwhelmed. The biggest compliment I can give is this: I genuinely look forward to my training sessions. A lot more than I ever expected. I'm getting stronger, my mobility is improving, and I feel better overall. I also love that they have multiple locations nearby and a ton of training days and times. They make it about as easy as it gets to stay consistent. And another bonus: dogs. On most days, one of the trainers has their dog there. Dogs rule, and any workout is better when you get to pet a pup between sets.

The instructor Al made sure to go around and give feedback while also pushing everyone to do their best. As it was a HIIT class, you get a great mix of strength and cardio. We did go outside for short runs, so note that for your choice of footwear. Overall it was a really fun class that definitely burned some serious calories.
