    100+ classes later this is still humbling and challenging as ever. Stephanie is the best!

    Playa location is the first location I started Pilates period at. When my friend introduced me to the studio, I thought she was trying to end our friendship. LOL! It was the most low intense but hard workout I ever experienced. Who knew I would still be here 3 years later. I love the results. Every instructor is so helpful and friendly. I highly recommend.

    I've had an amazing experience with Studio MDR and all of the instructors. Every class is uplifting, filled with positive energy, and leaves me feeling stronger and more inspired each time.

    Most importantly, the Lagree Method that The Studio MDR specializes in is exactly what my broken body needs.

    Lift Society is hands down the best gym experience I've had. It's the first place where I've truly…read morefelt confident using a barbell, lifting heavy, and building real strength, especially in my legs and glutes with focused squat work. The small group training format makes a huge difference: the coaches genuinely care about your progress, and you feel like you're getting stronger together. Their approach is refreshingly balanced, no pressure to train every single day. They encourage consistency with a realistic 3x-a-week cadence that's sustainable and actually delivers results. One of the biggest standouts is their incredible nutritionist, Celia. She's knowledgeable, encouraging, and keeps things flexible and realistic, no rigid plans or extreme restrictions. Plus, because she's also a trainer at the gym, she understands the full picture of your training and can tailor her guidance accordingly. I've worked with several nutritionists in the past and Celia is by far the best. Lift Society even throws in the occasional social outing, which makes it feel more like a community than just a gym. It's honestly one of the hardest things to leave behind as I move from LA to Brooklyn.

    I absolutely love Lift Society. This gym has completely transformed my fitness journey. I started…read morein November 2024 and have been consistently training ever since. The trainers are incredibly knowledgeable and genuinely committed to fitness. I've learned proper form, improved my posture, and built strength I didn't know I had. When I first started lifting, I was wobbly and off-balance - like Bambi. Now, I feel confident and powerful. I've also gained a much better understanding of how important nutrition is. This is hands down the best gym I've ever been to, and I'm so glad I found it. Shout out to the trainer Alexis who has been so patient with me and cheered me on since day one. She's so motivational. She always has such a warm and positive spirit about her. I don't know how she does it with her super early morning classes lol She is truly a gem. Out of all trainers I have ever had she is the one that has inspired me the most to know that it's possible and I can do it. The proof is there! I've done DEXA scans along the way and I've continuously cut fat and gained muscle.

    I found the gym Venice off of class Pass and I'm so glad I did Faren Shannon and kris are so great…read more They offer a women's strength training class two times a week every Sunday morning at 9 AM and every Wednesday night at 8 PM Faren sure knows how to put a work out together that will kick your ass. Shannon is great at providing different accommodations based off skill level and/or injury. Kris is super motivating and is super helpful in guiding you when you're working out on the bench press. Bonus is that Sydney makes an appearance occasionally (Kris's dog) lol My schedule has stopped me from going back the last month, but the atmosphere and the regulars who show up on Sundays are calling my name. If you haven't already, you should definitely check out the gym venice

It is the first gym where I felt comfortable at and actually felt that the staff cared about achieving your goals. What attracted to me at first was that they specialize on people who are over 40 (I am 57) which was perfect for me. I feel I have learned about my needs and this padawan can now go work out on his own. Thank you Kris and my trainer - Chuck. It was truly an amazing experience and in time I want to return to brush up on my training after I fly on my own. Highly recommended.

Her attitude was completely unacceptable, and I left the interaction feeling humiliated and unwelcome. What made the situation even worse is that the way I was treated made me genuinely feel discriminated against. I have never experienced customer service this disrespectful from a place where I am paying to be a member. No customer should be made to feel targeted, uncomfortable, or less than because of the way an employee chooses to treat them. Management needs to seriously address this employee's behavior. If this is how members are going to be treated, I have no reason to continue paying for a membership. I am seriously considering canceling because of this experience. LA Fitness should be a place where members feel respected and comfortable not judged, singled out, or treated poorly by employees. I strongly hope management investigates this situation and takes appropriate action

Returning to the gym after undergoing cancer treatment was a daunting milestone, but having a trusted trainer made all the difference.Because we have worked together for so long, Nancy knew exactly how to safely transition me back. She expertly structures our sessions using free weights and specific weight machines to help me rebuild my baseline strength and muscle tone at a safe, healthy pace. She balances profound technical knowledge with incredible encouragement. The entire facility is consistently pristine, which gives me great peace of mind. If you want a trainer dedicated to your long-term health, go see Nancy.

Before signing up, I specifically asked about early morning opening hours since I really enjoy working out in the mornings, and that ended up being a great fit for me. Big thanks to Dariana from the sales team, always friendly, helpful, and genuinely welcoming. I ended up canceling my membership after relocating, but I stayed a little over a year and had a very solid experience overall. The cardio classes were especially great, shoutout to Berbard, those sessions were no joke What I liked most is that it feels more like a lifestyle club than just a gym. The space is very clean, the vibe is upscale but comfortable, and if you avoid peak hours, you can finish your workout without waiting for equipment. The only minor downside is that some overly chatty members tend to camp on machines, so you have to be a bit patient at times. Overall, it was a really good experience, and I would definitely consider Equinox again if the location made sense for me.

Before joining, I had no idea what I was doing, was very sedentary, and felt really intimidated by gyms. This place completely changed that for me and broke me out of my shell. All you have to do is show up, listen to the coaches, and do what they tell you to do. They guide you through your workouts & nutrition, track your progress, check in on you, celebrate your wins, and really pay attention to how you're doing. The results have been amazing! I'm not even the most consistent person and I've still seen a huge difference in my strength, endurance, and confidence. The environment is also unlike any other gym I've been to. It's extremely welcoming and encouraging with people of all ages, disabilities, fitness levels, and walks of life. Nobody makes you feel intimidated or embarrassed for being inexperienced. Even though the workouts are in a group setting, the coaches really pay attention to every person and adjust things when needed. Siavash and the entire coaching team are amazing. Every coach there, especially Errol, Perry, Marquis, and Peter, is so good at what they do. They all push you to do your best and you can tell they genuinely care about their work and the people they train. I literally recommend this gym to everyone I know. If you've been wanting to get into fitness but don't know where to start, I highly recommend giving Sixpax a try!!!

Professional trainers are with you all the time during your 30 minute session, unlike gyms where you are left to figure out what you're doing. I'm there 3 times a week and if I have an appointment at VA or similar they adjust the schedule with a simple text. Working with expert trainers whose favorite expression is "Good, Five More." keeps you moving for the whole session. The owner, Siavash Fashi, is an interesting personality and is usually around, Talk to him, or any of the trainers, or the customers. See you there.
