good gym with great machines and a nice environment to workout in good vibes and nice staff

Amazing gym , highly recommended!! I would recommend getting a gym membership right away

BEWARE: This gym has a loophole they exploit that allows them to immediately void your contract/ agreement within 5 days of singing up and charge you double-- plus add hidden fees. Their fine print (never mentioned by staff at sign-up) pushes you or even REQUIRES payment by debit card for a single club membership. You're then immediately sent a vague follow-up communication by email/text that easily goes to spam or is not checked---asking you to switch payment to a checking account/routing number. Miss that? This automatically voids your contract-- and you get charge double--- the full multi-club rate. In only 4 months, they ignored my agreement, charged me the inflated rate every single month- plus hit me with two separate annual fees back to back. Two yearly fees in only four months. When I raised it, staff and management deflected, blamed me, and defended the (hidden and vague) policies without addressing the math. In my opinion, this gym (or the parent company ABC fitness Solutions LLC. ) knows what they are doing with this loophole ---as they lean on reaching into the pockets of a young adult, student demographic that may not catch or care about this. read more

This gym has been such a great fit for me. The atmosphere is positive, the equipment is well-maintained, and the gym is consistently clean. The staff always makes you feel welcome from the moment you walk in. One of my favorite things is that I can get through my workout without having to wait around for machines or weights. It's a refreshing change from crowded gyms and makes it easy to stay consistent. Highly recommend read more

Great vibes at this establishment. I've had memberships at the big box stores like LA fitness/24 hour fitness and Speakeasy is definitely a little more niche with their workout equipment and atmosphere. I'm a morning workout person so the crowds aren't unbearable but anytime after 4pm and you'll be fighting for machines. The music can get a little loud sometimes so make sure to use headphones. Equipment and facilities are generally clean. They are going through some remodeling (as of March 2026) so you can see the commitment to innovation. If you catch a deal on their website the pricing is reasonable. The best gym is the one you actually will commit too, with that being said Speakeasy is a no frills gyms that checks a lot of boxes. No fitness classes plus a pseudo outdoor work out area should also be taken into consideration. read more

I'm giving this place three stars because the staff were nice and there was plenty of equipment. However, with that being said, a lot of the people were hogging the machines for long periods of time. It's a drag, going to work out at the gym and having to wait for different machines because somebody is on their phone Scrolling for 10 to 15 minutes at a time. Also, their parking leaves a lot to be desired. read more

Jim is a super dope jam to keep it very clean very cool and fresh staff is always welcoming

Recently moved to the area and started going to this gym. Juan was amazing in helping out and setting up my membership. Super clean gym, great music, great machines! read more

Management has been dishonest. After being a member for a year, I signed up to renew a one year membership for an ongoing promotion with buddy pass for $40 for the whole year. After I signed the contract, the employee told me that the contract I signed was only for the membership and they would cancel my ongoing monthly payment for the buddy pass and charge me $40 for the one year buddy pass. However, despite speaking with 3 different managers (high turnover) over the last 6 months, they failed to change my buddy pass and are still charging me monthly. They breached my trust so make sure if you do get a promotional offer that it is also in ONE contract, otherwise they will unlikely honor their promise. read more

Commercial gym touring season for me! This one is a bit out of the way for me but I figured I'd give it a shot. Parking: Parking spots are tight and the parking lot set up is just horrible. Gym: The layout of the gym is weird. The loud EDM music is just not my jam. Having said that, you will find most of everything you'd want in a gym. Barbells were kind of all over the place. The place looks 5 out of 10 in terms of cleanliness. Foot traffic: I went during prime hours 5pm and most machines were available for use. That's a plus! Overall an okay gym if you're in the area. Not too many options for you in this part of town. read more

One of the best gyms in the area with a great variety of equipment and friendly staff.Lighting and music is a plus.

Shout out to the front man Doug! Super chill always welcoming! Place is always clean!! read more

These thieves charged my 14 year old daughter $45 for one week use of the gym on my credit card. Their website says that they only allow 18 years and older so why allow her in? Plus why charge her an astronomical amount of money for one week. They should be ashamed of themselves for taking advantage of a 14 year old child. Just horrible! read more

Been coming to this gym for a few years now love the upgrades and always maintaining it dude at the front desk is super awesome and always welcoming. Would recommend this gym for a serious and regulars. read more

Adrain was super helpful with my questions at the front desk! He also showed me how to use a new machine!!

Good atmosphere, really good gym to work out at! The shakes are really goood, friendly energy. Club like gym for sure. This is my new gym read more

My partner and I were excited to check out this gym by our place. We dropped by on Monday, 3/24/25 at about 9pm and asked about a free trial. The person at the desk looked confused and asked me where I had heard about a free trial. I said Yelp (which took me to their website where there was a 7-day free trial button). She said they had just updated their website, and that she didn't recommend the trial because afterward one is obligated to a 12-month membership. (I think we're all adults here capable of deciding whether to cancel or keep a membership going after 7 days, no?) Instead, she recommended I pay for a day pass. Ah, but the weirdness continues: She then said she had to take care of other customers, and looked over to the other staff member at the front desk, who started typing away. I presumed he was looking into this mysterious free trial issue. My partner and I patiently waited a couple minutes, musing other membership deals written on their whiteboard. Then, this fellow just gets up and walks away, ignoring us altogether. I turned to my partner and said "F*** this," and we nodded in agreement and left. We'll try a gym with the bare minimum of manners and happily pay more for that. read more

Best gym is Pasadena We go daily, clean, great snacks, helpful staff!! Love the vibes. Greg is so helpful!

Tends to be very busy. The ambiance is cool with the music and the club lighting. They also have a great array of machines and weights, including punching bags outside. It's a good gym option for Pasadena read more

Awesome place for a workout. highly recommend. very affordable and no nonsense gym membership

I went here years ago and loved it but when I had to move I went to cancel my membership at the front and they said that I had to do so through my portal. I went to the portal and canceled and got the cancellation confirmation email. Later, I was still being charged monthly and they said I still had an outstanding balance. I checked my portal and saw that there was no balance nor could any staff member tell me what the balance was. I ended up calling my bank and blocking them from my card. A few months went by and I saw that they were charging me from a different account called "prohibition museum". I ended up cancelling my cards and accounts and adding my name to a lawsuit against them. Nothing became of it as far as I can tell but be very careful about canceling. read more

The gym is cool. Lots of good machines, weights, upbeat music with good vibes. HOWEVER - they have charged all different random amounts, sometimes several times per month. We signed up for a promo that would cost $17.99 per month on a debit card connected directly to your bank account. If you don't want to connect your bank account, it was $23.99. Ok, fine. I decided to pay the extra without connecting my bank account. Definitely DO NOT connect your bank account! When we tried several times to correct several charges and the staff was very condescending, rude, and the next day we would get additional random charges. There is no manager, no supervisor, and the only email you can contact is either marketing or HR. We emailed both to try and get the situation corrected. No reply. I had to make a claim with my credit card company to have the incorrect charges reversed and my card replaced. Would be great if they weren't scammers! read more

Great place! Night club vibes, good music, and good selections of machines. Been coming here for over a year! read more

Juan G at the front desk was very welcoming. He gave me rundown of the fitness environment. I haven't tried this gym out yet and heard they had an outdoor portion of the place. I can see why many people choose this spot to workout as the interior, environment, staff, and gym goers are all very kind and nice. I definitely will come back whenever I'm in the area. read more

See all

Be careful with this place! I wish my son had read all the bad reviews on this place before signing his contract. He and his friends got scammed. He was told that he can cancel anytime, but when he tried to go in person to cancel they informed him that he signed up for a year. On top of that he signed up for the option to bring a companion. That's another $10 per month. It's his fault for being so naive, but they prey on these younger guys who just want a place to work out during winter break or summer. Now I'm stuck with paying $500 until the one year is done. If you want to transfer the membership it is a $100 fee! Be careful with this place! And if anyone can offer some advice on how I can cancel the membership please let me know. I'd appreciate some help on this. read more

Great atmosphere and always clean! Love the vibe and the staff is always very friendly!

Love this gym and how convenient it is to me. Cool vibes and great atmosphere. Tends to get a little busy around the time I'm here but it's still a great workout every time read more

Everyone is very nice to me. Music is loud. Have bad thoughts? Can't hear them. Les gooo...

Been going here for a few years now. Overall good gym, but downgrading this review because I've tried to go several times now on Saturday at 7 am when they're supposedly open and they weren't. Not even talking about 5-15 mins wait till someone shows up to open the gym... like waiting over 45 mins. Unacceptable! Should change your posted hours if employees can't make it on time read more

This gym is so incredibly disorganized and dirty. I used to go to this gym when it was Gold's gym, many years ago. It's a good space, but overcrowded with disrespectful people, too much equipment without weights, broken equipment, and the gym is very dirty, no one puts anything back so weights are everywhere. Management appears to do nothing about trying to keep it clean and organized. Poor management appears to be the biggest issue to me. No one wants to walk around spending double their time trying to find equipment. read more

The location is cool but the stretching area is always a mess, the bathrooms are always dirty or they missing toilet paper or soap. Staff is not that friendly. read more

Don't sign up for a free trial. They will lock you in without telling you and you'll be charged for a few months. The GM, Mike, has conned many people this way. read more

Doug was super helpful and accommodating. Very nice and attentive! The gym has a good atmosphere and good equipment

Great friendly team & good experience every time. Will recommend this place , clean and very good.

I really did like this gym. I cancelled awhile back because of insufficient use. Just recently I noticed I was still being charged, even though my membership had been cancelled. The cancellation confirmation email even said I would no longer be charged and yet money was still taken from my account. I literally did a thorough search on the "myclubid" account or whatever, just to confirm I had really cancelled. There it was, membership cancelled and emailed proof. read more

The gym itself is good, but on multiple occasions they never open at the time listed. People are always waiting outside for over 15-30 minutes. Very inconsiderate of peoples time ! Especially on Saturdays , don't plan your day around their opening time. read more

Wasted signing up on Christmas Day! Sign up on their promotion and they said it wasn't valid. Still have to pay $15 to workout for that day. There was a reason why I stop coming here. Now I remember! Once you cancel your membership, because cautious as they don't send you a confirmation email. read more

Pasadena location has such an amazing vibe, machines are very well maintained, staff are friendly and helpful. They offer juice/protein bar, you can also follow them on IG, great supplements offered for an amazing work out. Definitely recommend this gym, favorite machine for leg days is the hack squat. read more

I've been a speakeasy fitness member for almost 3 years now when I only signed up for one year membership I've came down to this place at least twice to cancel my membership and they still were charging me. Without my knowledge today I came in to ask for a refund for 2026 as they charge me again for a third fucking year however I did not ask to be signed up for a third year. I can't just speak to someone to cancel my membership and get a full refund however they said they automatically reuse your membership when I first signed on. They did not let me know that not only did they not give me a refund for the months, I was not attending without my knowledge of knowing that I still somehow had a membership after I canceled I was charged almost $200 that went down the drain once upon a time this place was awesome when it was outdoors and really outdoors, and when all their equipment were maintained well cleaned and were broken however, I walked in today still, and there was a bunch of signs saying that their machines were not working . You should not be charging anybody $32 a month for a gym membership if none of your equipment are up to par. read more

Doug was extremely helpful today! He assisted me with my new card for use. Appreciated it
