It was my first time there on vacation using the guest pass, which is pricey but definitely worth it! The gym is pretty big as well. There are several different sections inside and outside... You also most likely will run into famous people while working out and come to find out it is a pretty normal thing there where no one makes any commotion and everyone just continues to put the work in and have a great session! Oh yeah, with the $50 pass for 24hrs we were able to squeeze in 2 sessions 1 each day , you just had to be there before your 24hr time expired . Good deal when you look at it that way and break it down to $25/day

From day one, there was zero judgment, which made it easy for me to be honest about my fears, roadblocks, and goals. She truly takes the time to get to know me and tailors every session to how my body is feeling and what's going on in my life. Her deep knowledge of the body really shows and it's why I trust her and feel safe pushing myself with her. I'm getting real results and am now doing things in the gym I was always fearful of or never thought I could do!!! Every session is challenging but incredibly supportive. Highly recommend!

I now see that what I was missing was a mature, seasoned, cool, kind and knowledgable trainer. Within a year (but it happened within a few months) Michelle has taken me from a person who not only dreaded weight training and even the gym, but felt bad about being so inconsistent. She makes workouts fun, varied, and is committed to correct form -- she can explain as little or as MUCH about anatomy and fitness as you want, as she goes deep and stays current. Most of all, she knows how to work with and motivate a middle aged woman like me going through menopause! I feel more appreciative of what my body can do and notice when I'm hiking or in yoga my stamina and strength is so so much better than it was before I started working with her. And, if it matters, she is also very flexible with schedule changes, which has been a huge plus for me as an entrepreneur that is often shifting with client needs. We have worked in person and remotely, both are top top notch. THANK YOU MICHELLE! You've changed my life in so many ways!

I went to the Venice one and the spot was actually much bigger than it looked from outside. Alex, the trainer for my Run and Lift early morning class, was super welcoming and totally delivering top-notch first-timer experience for me, paying detailed attention that I got the instructions correctly and did the right movements. The intensity of the workout forced me to my limit, but they did let people do it on their own pace. The complementary facilities like locker, shower room, and even free towels made bunch of plus points, though one downside might be I'd prefer it to be cleaner (read: the women's bathroom might need more frequent cleaning especially with shedding hair). You did have the option to indulge post the workouts by getting their smoothies, which was also available to be pre-ordered and tailored to your preference by customizing the ingredients. Not to mention, the Venice one had plenty of free parking spaces!

From the moment we chatted on the phone and initial call regarding my goals and healthy history, I immediately knew they cared and wanted to ensure there was a good plan for me. I was able to only commit to 2 months due to my move but I got the best results beyond my expectations with my progress, accountability and the overall experience of waking up so early to train. The space is spotless, super clean and felt so private. I was able to really work on my moves and get a lot of things corrected by Whitney who truly cares about long term maintenance and therapy. It was awesome to really find trainers who you can also text any time and provide you with abundance of information needed for you to really lose weight, get stronger and have a great routine with. I highly recommend Whitney and Byron, whether you are a beginner or long time fitness expert. They will go out of their ways to make sure you are comfortable and meeting your goals. I will definitely be back once I am living on the west side again.

I started working with Whitney in early 2024, after many years of battling with an irregular or…read morenonexistent fitness routine (and subsequently poor body image). As someone who did not have a strong foundation in the gym, I was looking for a trainer who could create a bespoke program and help me master form from the ground up. From day one, Whitney was encouraging, thorough, and helped me feel welcome in an environment that had at one time brought me a lot of anxiety. She was able to diagnose the muscular imbalances that were causing pain, and we set out on a routine that truly transformed my life! I, like many of us, spend a lot of time working on a computer and my posture really suffered from it. Whitney focused on strengthening and lengthening muscles that were previously pulling my head and shoulders forward, which has reduced a ton of neck & upper back discomfort and improved my posture overall. She also helped me build strength and better muscular balance throughout my lower body and abdomen. Over the 7 months we worked together, I lost 30 lbs of fat and gained 10 lbs of muscle, while also eliminating the lower back pain I had been struggling with for years. I lost 6+ inches from the areas that were causing me the most insecurity, and gained definition in my glutes, shoulders, back and legs. My time with Whitney recently came to an end after I moved to another part of town, but I would absolutely still be working with her if I could. She and Byron genuinely transformed my relationship with my body, instilled confidence and strength I had not been able to access on my own, and have laid the foundation for me to continue (and even look forward to!) a lifelong fitness journey.

I highly recommend her to all fitness levels and anyone who wants to improve strength, flexibility or mobility. I've trained with Jen in both one-on-one and group settings for about six months. I've always been an athlete but was feeling a bit unmotivated and a little unbalanced with my current routine. Jen's knowledge of fitness, yoga and anatomy helped me improve my form, strength and mobility. Many of the exercises targeted tiny imbalances that I would never have trained on my own. Due to my modern lifestyle, job, and general stress, Jen has helped me regain lost mobility in my neck, shoulders and hips. By teaching me how to relax overly tense muscles and fire underutilized muscles, my overall body began to move and feel better. This has helped me improve my athletic performance, lose a clothing size and become much stronger. No matter what your fitness goals are, Jen can help you reach the next level. I've seen her work with clients from all backgrounds, injuries and fitness levels and recommend her for everyone. I sent her some friends who never workout, did not have a good sense of fitness and were too afraid to start working out due to injury. She's got them completely motivated about fitness and has helped provide them with the tools they need to move their bodies safely and effectively. Jen will keep you challenged, mix it up and will never let you slack on quality form. Her workouts utilize many tools from body weight, free weights, kettle bells, gym equipment, etc. She always keeps it fresh and can adapt the workout depending on how your body is responding. Always a true professional, Jen goes above and beyond in helping her clients. My time with Jen has definitely been an investment in my health and I cannot thank her enough for how strong she makes me feel. I've trained with other individuals before, but Jen Dapper's definitely the real deal and the only one I've sent friends and family to.

All of the "limited class" options have 24/7 gym access. The flyer does not mention that they count any gym check in as a class. Their instructors are not aware of this policy and so the sign up process felt a a bit like a bait and switch. I brought this issue up with them and they agreed the flyer was incorrect and should be fixed, but they are still handing the same flyer out two weeks later. Anyway I think it's a good option if you want a CrossFit gym that allows 24/7 access.

There is a kiddie area for small and young children. They DO NOT allow outside food or drinks except water! There is a small shop that sells misc. items, snacks & drinks (overpriced).

My younger son joined not knowing anyone and felt welcomed almost immediately. Both of my boys felt included from day one. The staff is incredibly caring, supportive, and attentive. You can truly feel that they work hard to create a safe, joyful environment for the kids, and as a parent that means everything. The activities are fantastic: well planned, age appropriate, engaging, and fun. The natural setting is also beautiful and feels especially important these days. My boys came home with confidence, stories, friendships, and summer memories they will cherish forever. And the camp spirit is real. We still sing the silly songs at home, especially the announcements song whenever we have a family announcement, and the birthday song too. I cannot recommend Cali Camp enough. It has been such a special part of our family's life.
