5 stars, zero hesitation. Nomad is a special place, and that's because of the culture that starts at the top (the owner, Hunter). Hunter has not only cultivated an atmosphere of FUN and COMMUNITY at Nomad, through the use of collaborative and creative games and concepts, with not-your-standard-reps-and-sets workouts (although reps and sets can often still be on the menu, creatively weaved in), but also, he's put together a team of stellar, friendly, and knowledgeable trainers who come from various backgrounds, stay teachable, and believe in the power of moving dynamically as a lifestyle. Nomad's unique approach to movement has a way zapping the ego you find in most gyms and oftentimes has you forgetting the fact that you are even working out at all. Every day at Nomad feels fresh! read more

A revolutionary approach to health and wellness, The Nomad Gym is a breath of fresh air in an industry smelling of clout-chasing-influencers and juiced up dudes. I said what I said, fight me. Hunter actually CARES about his clients. If you are in the area, ditch your stupid gym and join up. If you're not in the area, download the app (it's awesome). If you're ready to change your entire paradigm as it pertains to overall fitness, look no further. read more

Nomad Gym is a solid spot, but what makes it truly 5 stars is Hunter. My wife and I used to train here, and Hunter is the heart of the place...a Midwest mountain man with incredible discipline and a ton of knowledge. You can see it in how he lives his life. Bravo, Hunter. Keep doing what you do. read more

My wife and I love the Nomad Gym and our trainer, Hunter Seide. Have been working out here for four years, getting stronger every week. More challenging, inspiring and fun than previous personal trainers. Highly recommend to all ages! read more

This gym is great! I've visited a few times for the group training sessions. I came during the evening sessions because there's no way I can wake up early enough for a 6 am class. Hunter was my group trainer and he brings a really good vibe to the classes. He motivates the class through his words and demonstration. Makes the clas more enjoyable even though I was on the struggle bus. These classes can definitely push you to your limits if you really want a challenge. There were people of various levels of fitness in the group. I would say my fitness level was in the middle of the group. I go to a regular gym and use machines, free weights, etc for strength building. I would say I'm in decent shape but I was barely able to keep up. What makes these classes challenging are the exercises and games they make you play. I've never done anything like them before. The Nomad gym isn't like a normal gym that has machines, cardio equipment, etc. They have you do unique body weight exercises, that are definitely outside the gym. One of the games we played as was called Big Bocce. Instead of using the normal size bocce balls that are light, we used balls that started at 30 lbs all the way to 60 lbs. I didn't even attempt to try to throw the 60 lb ball. I was pretty much exhausted after that. I really like the environment. It's a clean and the area is pretty open. The people I've met there were all friendly as well. Due to the pandemic the session are outdoors. I didn't mind because you really do start to feel like a nomad. I thought the name of the gym was interesting and the idea of being able to workout anywhere you are genius. I would definitely come back here again. read more

See all

Good place. Go here. Now. But seriously - I hate gyms and the culture around them has prevented me from going for many years but then I found Nomad. Hunter creates a great vibe, is motivating without the toxic push and I also appreciate the holistic approach, meaning varied workout styles and routines so you aren't often doing the same thing, and it's a good focus on both strength, flexibility, endurance and just general daily health. I used to work nearby and it was convenient but now I'm no where near it and still make the drive to be there! They also arrange fun outdoor hikes, kayak and paddle board trips and it builds a good family vibe. read more

i was in such poor shape after an illness took me out of serious exercise for several years and was so intimidated by gyms. in the past two years, i had tried various exercise routines but was stalled by overwhelm, injuries or lack of motivation. what interested me about nomad was their chill, inclusive vibe, their laid back atmosphere, and the diversity in their clientele's fitness levels, ages, race and body types. i started with personal training with serge who was just the absolute best at teaching and motivating me until i felt confident enough to join the group classes. what keeps me there five months later is just the sheer fun, impeccable vibes and straight up results. i never know what i'm gonna be doing in class--they are always fun--and ive learned to push my body while keeping it safe! have never enjoyed exercise so much and feel so much more confident in my strong body. grateful to hunter's generosity with sharing his vast knowledge, sense of humor and compassion. forever grateful to hunter, serge, allie and avery! read more

This review is WAY overdue but mor people deserve to know about this place in LA. I've been coming here for the last 3 years and can confidently say that Hunter is hands down one of the best in town. Not only will you leave with an amazing workout (whether you're doing 1-1 or a group glass) but your mental, spiritual and emotional health will thank you. I am so grateful for NOMAD!!!! read more

I joined Nomad after 10 years(!!) of not going to a gym. I stopped partially because it was hard for me to want to go, to stay engaged and effectively vary up my routine- and partially because I don't really click with traditional gym culture. Nomad jettisoned all of those issues for me. This place is more than a gym- it's a health and fitness community led by Hunter and his team (who are all impeccable humans and trainers) that helps you to feel included, empowered and engaged. In the three months I've been going there, I have seen huge positive changes in my strength, my body and my overall wellness. My partner (also a Nomad member) speak weekly about our gratitude for this place. read more

If you never knew how to workout with the correct form, the trainers here will help you understand the concept and get the correct form. Everyone here is family and very friendly to newcomers. The trainers also make the workouts a ton of fun! Sometimes there will be workout games or obstacle courses. Hunter will always put a smile on your face with his quirkiness. He'll also plan activities such as strenuous hikes and padding boarding! Super fun to be around. Highly recommend! read more

I met Hunter while marathon training in 2018, joints blown out from powerlifting, mind bent from starting jiu jitsu, lost in not knowing how to escape the traps of ego. In the pursuit to IMPROVE my quality of life, I am very lucky that I had a safe space to come into at Nomad, where I could drop the need to impress and genuinely start to have an honest conversation about how I felt through the movement I was doing. Community, patience, and learning to care for ourselves as well as one another are some of the foundational approaches that make Nomad a safe place to explore your limits not just physically, but mentally and emotionally as well. Hunter is a real one! Grateful to be a trainer in this space, to be informed and surrounded by smart individuals everyday, and to be practicing presence of mind through some pretty epic adventures! read more

As a trainer at the Nomad Gym, the community of clients and other trainers are truly life elevating. No matter the weather, time of year, or life events going on; every person has remains a positive influence and inspiration. There's 0 negativity or judgement within the walls of our safe community. It's an honor to be a part of something so special and Hunter has curated a perfect tribe. Anybody, with any body, is welcome with open arms read more

I've been a trainer at The Nomad Gym for about a year now. The community is extremely welcoming and kind. The classes are fun and rewarding. They challenge your mind just as much as your body. Personal Training at Nomad is super diverse and you will likely find what you are searching for. The coaches are extremely knowledgable and will do their best to help you achieve your goals. It's a true honor to work with them on a weekly basis. We're always learning and growing together. read more

Love this Gym! The positive energy of this place is priceless. The workouts are great, the vibe is fun, and the trainers are knowledgable and supportive. Free parking lot and street parking. Definitely check this place out! read more

Nomad is an amazing gym with amazing people. The group classes are both fun and challenging. The trainers are friendly and knowledgeable. In the 3+ years that I've been a Nomad member, I have learned a ton and become much stronger! read more

Amazing instructors, professional, thoughtful and fun, make an appointment and check them out by yourself I can assure you, you will look no more for the perfect place to train. read more

The staff is awesome - super positive and really encouraging. The group classes are full of laughter, fun, and challenging - basically the first time I've really enjoyed working out. I also hit my goal of losing 15 lbs in 3 months! Thanks Hunter + crew read more

I've been going here for 3 years now! I am so fortunate to have found this amazing gym and community. The daily classes are always different. Hunter and the other trainers put a fun spin on each workout. Thank you guys! read more

Amazing gym with great trainers! Love the weekend adventures and friendly approach to fitness. I never feel left out.

I've been going to the Nomad gym with my wife for almost three years now. Six months ago we moved to Granada Hills but we still make the trip to Nomad b/c once a Nomad always a Nomad. We even kept our membership during covid b/c Hunter provided live YouTube classes and eventually reopened the gym outside in the parking lot. Never a dull moment at the Nomad gym! The small group classes are tough, but engaging and fun. We love all of the instructors at the Nomad gym. We also love the outdoors activities specially the ones at the beach! read more

I came to Nomad in April of 2021 and I was instantly hooked after my first "trial" class. The group classes are smaller so you get a good dose of group dynamic as well as individual attention. The workouts are challenging yet fun. A lot of down to earth people which creates a supportive and low pressure environment. I'm always intrigued by the workouts and I commend Hunter and the coaches for masterfully combining strength, mobility, and function into the workouts while still being fun and challenging! No two workouts are ever the same! Previously I had been an avid Orange Theory member but I realize now how limiting that style of workout was. The range of exercises I experience at Nomad feel way more beneficial to improving my overall strength, endurance and mobility. Nomad is a unique gym experience that's hard to explain unless you see it yourself, so try it out! Really great energy here, super welcoming and caters to all levels of fitness! read more

If you're looking for a gym, check this place out! - The trainers are friendly, professional, and inspiring. They really care about their members. - The classes are great... never boring or repetitive. - The gym is clean and well organized. - Parking is easy. Love this place. read more

Been checking out gyms around town and this is the one was the most fun, welcoming and joyful of them all. Small classes with exercises more like "fun and games" than a workout. Hunter makes a Super Host, with a big smile and introductions to gym mates. I had so much fun, I forgot I was working my a** off. The music was not loud and the group had all levels. It's genius. Every neighborhood in LA needs a NOMAD. Please consider the Westside! read more

Nomad is outstanding. The trainers are warm, knowledgeable and highly creative. The group class has incredible variety and is always fun. I'd never joined a gym before and was wary of the culture but Nomad is truly a lovely environment. Hunter sets a tone of belonging and positivity that makes anyone, even brand new nervous people, feel comfortable and safe. He's great at education, encouragement and keeping things simple and inspiring. I joined a year ago and my body has transformed. I feel better than I ever have. Nomad has come to mean so much to me and my partner that we're thinking of moving closer to it. I went from fearing gym culture to feeling a part of a happy/healthy family. read more

Amazing gym and staff! Definitely get a session in with Hunter! He helped rehab a torn muscle with unique, fun & challenging exercises that were much needed. I highly recommend Nomad if you're looking for a welcoming gym with a very knowledgeable staff. read more

Great gym, great community. Brings professional training with a fun social environment. For the people that want to push themselves while make friends all in the same process. This place comes highly recommended! read more

I have been coming here three times a week for almost four years now and I have never once woken up and felt like I didn't want to go to my early morning training sessions. Not once. And I'm far from a fitness fanatic. Training with Hunter for two years, he makes it fun to come in and work your ass off. He's been right by my side, making me stronger and healthier and working with me to achieve my goals. He (and the rest of the Nomad team) is a total pro who knows how to push my limits and do it in a safe way to avoid injuries. He's been my trainer, my teacher, my friend and even my psychiatrist when I need it. I know going to a new gym or starting down the path of getting fit can be super intimidating. I've been there - I was over 50lbs heavier than I currently am. Nomad is a place that just feels welcoming no matter what your experience level is. The trainers are beyond friendly and supportive, the other members in the group sessions have each others' backs. If you have a goal to lose weight, gain muscle, get stronger - all of the above - or just find a fun and supportive place to work out you owe it to yourself to give this place a shot. read more

The Nomad Gym is by far the most friendly, welcoming, and fun gym I've ever been to. Every time I've gone, I've been surprised with new exercises and games that redefine the way I look at keeping fit. This gym has shown me that exercise doesn't have to be a chore but something you can look forward to. The staff is genuinely invested in everyone who walks in, and the community of people there make you feel welcome no matter your fitness level. I can't wait to go back! read more

This is the best gym, hands down, I've ever been part of. The workouts are varied, challenging, engaging and fun. But, added to that- it is it's culture that is the secret weapon. This is a independent fitness space that leads in inclusivity, openness. You feel you are apart of a family, where any age, any fitness level is welcome and seamlessly integrated into this special family atmosphere. The trainers are all brilliant, funny and engaging. You can't go wrong. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Nomad to anyone. read more

I LOVE the Nomad Gym! Me and my fiancé have been training here, with Hunter, for several weeks and we LOVE him. He makes the sessions new and fresh every week, which means it's always fun and challenging. The gym itself is great - with plenty of machines and equipment. Hunter is wonderful at gaging your level of fitness and he tailors each session according to your needs. The price is great (unlike a lot of other gyms in town.) I highly recommend this gym and have told all my friends about it. Five stars! read more

Nomad's classes are taught by only a few trainers who also train professional athletes, movie stars, and UFC fighters, a far cry from the cold and apathetic corporate gyms, where the personal trainers there look like they could use personal trainers, repeating basics that can be found with a Youtube search. You get to work with the same faces, so not having a gym buddy to align with your schedule is perfectly fine. Their programs are custom built, and no day is the same (or even close really) to one before. It doesn't get boring, and your muscle memory will always be shocked into doing something new (and growing from it). The reason I signed up here is because my gainz have slowed for a pretty long time and all I wanted was results. Working with the team here, I've been able to identify where form can be improved, and also taken on another perspective towards growth. Some days you don't use a weight over 20 lbs, but are sweating more than days when you're lifting twice your body weight, and sore in places you didn't know could be sore. Most importantly, I can feel results. Whether you are new or experienced, there's something to learn here. The programs are custom tailored to the momentum of the class, and since they're small, you get the benefits of a one-on-one class with the fun of a bigger one. Everyone comes in with an extremely positive attitude, and the teachers make you feel like you're training for life instead of dreadfully fulfilling a New Year's resolution. Coming here, your arsenal will be professionals that understand the necessary diet and exercises you need to meet your goals, who are able to prove it by lifting 600 lbs instead of a piece of paper framed on the wall (although they have that too). If you're looking for a change, you need to give The Nomad Gym a try. read more

We love training at NOMAD. My fiancé and I live down the street & decided to check it out one day for a 1 on 1 training with Hunter. He did not disappoint & neither did the gym! Lots of equipment to use so you never get bored doing the same thing. They have candles and lotion in the bathrooms, gum & mints at the front. The amenities are lovely! Hunter is very patient and encouraging! He pushes me to my limit but never to the point where I hurt myself or want to get sick. Form is always most important. Maria is amazing too! Love her :) she specializes in Post Natal training & let's just say, she looks phenomenal after having a baby. They have a really cute patio area in the back where you can chill before or after class and catch some rays. And classes! I haven't tried the classes yet but they seem really fun! read more

Maria is my girl here! Been with her almost 1 year at Nomad. They have a great location with the best equipment. Very private and clean. Nomad not only as personal training but fun group classes. This place is 100% a fitness gem. read more

This place is amazing. All the trainers are super professional and supportive. They helped me to develop physical and mental skills. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!! read more

I started going to Nomad about 4 months ago after realizing that my almost daily trips to the big-box gym were feeling stale and uninspiring. I had been doing more or less the same exercises for years and I was looking for a place where I could really be challenged and motivated and frankly where I could meet people. From the first class I could tell Nomad was more than just a gym. It's more like a family. The environment is genuinely friendly, welcoming, and team-oriented. Hunter, whose classes I mostly attend, is a gem of a trainer. Incredibly knowledgeable, helpful, and always has the best attitude. Never a class with him where I'm not laughing at some point! I'm always looking forward to the classes at Nomad. I highly recommend this place! read more

Simply put, this is a very special place. The Main Nomad himself, Hunter, is the best trainer I've ever met--hugely knowledgeable, a gifted athlete, but also humble and unfailingly positive. His level of precision and care when coming up with workouts and helping clients understand their bodies is unmatched, and he's built a small team of elite trainers who apply the same methods. He sets the tone for a community of people who genuinely want to improve themselves and help one another grow. Thanks to Nomad I've never been stronger or more confident in my body, and I've gotten there without getting hurt or wearing myself out. I'd give this gym 10 starts if I could. read more

Hunter is simply the best! He is upbeat, kind, super knowledgeable, and kicks your a$$--but keeps you laughing (when you're not cursing under your breath, of course :)). His gym also lacks the pretension that you find in a lot of other personal training studios, which is so refreshing. I can't recommend him or his gym enough! read more

Best gym in LA. That includes both the group classes or 1-1 privates which I'm currently doing. Hunter cares about your goals/progress and sets the bar high for all trainers at Nomad. Friendly vibe as soon as you walk in. Highly recommend from someone who has been to numerous LA gyms. read more

The Nomad gym is the best kept secret!! Hunter and his Nomad coaching staff are incredible. After years of CrossFit, I was skeptical of joining Nomad. Two days in I was hooked!! The workouts are fun, and very effective. You'll walk away knowing you're had an incredible workout. Hunter is a fitness guru whose insightful, knowledgeable and always sharing his knowledge with you. Classes are fun, never the same and definitely not your typical workouts. I'm thrilled to be a part of the amazing place!! read more

Nomad really helped me overcome my insecurities about working out in a group setting. There's never any judgement from anyone here, instructors and students alike. Hunter, Jeff, and the rest of the team have really positive attitudes that push you to better yourself every class. And the only reason I bothered going for so long was because the classes are straight up FUN. Working out sucks ass, that's just how it is, but Nomad makes it thirty times better. read more
