    I've been going to Surfcore Fitness for about two years now, and it's hard to overstate what this…read morecommunity has meant to me. I've been to a lot of gyms in LA over the years and was used to working out alone -- but I realized I missed having people to share the journey with. I came to Surfcore at a point in my life when I knew I needed to make some real changes to my health, and Carlos and Jose were so supportive and encouraging. After my first year, I got a clean bill of health from my doctor, and they genuinely celebrated that with me. Through the six-week challenges and all the day-to-day workouts, I've learned how to better balance my eating, my fitness, and my mindset. The workouts are tough but fun, and the people are what make it special. It's supportive, hilarious, and full of good energy. I've made real friends here -- something that's hard to do as an adult in L.A. And honestly, I really appreciate talking both workout shop and sharing the latest tea at Diva Fridays. Sadly, I had to move out of the area and I really miss my routine with the crew. Surfcore had become my third space -- a place between work and home where I felt grounded and supported by friendly folk. Truly one of a kind.

    A very long overdue review for our beloved community gym!! My husband and I started at Surfcore…read moreAugust 2023, as we wanted to get into shape before our wedding. Our goal for joining the gym was to just get into better shape, but we didn't have any other expectations. We came out of it not only looking our best on our wedding day ;) but also became a part of the most supportive community of friends and people from all walks of life! Everyone at the gym is so welcoming, and we love the ALOHA spirit and vibes. The gym is run by two passionate (& extremely fit) owners, Carlos & Jose. They are not only our trainers, but true community leaders that always show up and do their best to make us feel comfortable and supported as gym members. They truly go ABOVE & BEYOND to make each member feel welcomed, and are always offering guidance even outside of the gym settings. In regards to the workouts, they are definitely tough! But not in an intimidating way. Carlos and Jose work with you to make sure that you can safely perform the routines, while also knowing when to push you to challenge yourself. As someone who's time is limited, I appreciate that these workouts are efficient and effective, and I always feel productive after the 45 min session (and oftentimes sore for days - the good kind of sore). I definitely value the variety of HITT workouts, which alternate between upper and lower body and continue to be a challenge for me even after 1.5 years. Since joining Surfcore, I've felt so much stronger and actually have more definition to my arms/back, and more !! Additionally, as someone in the healthcare field, and specifically working in a weight loss clinic, I can confidently tell you that my experience with patients on weight loss drugs (i.e.GLP-1 agonists), see the best results in their body and form when they combine their medication with weight-bearing exercises (basically all the Surfcore workouts). PSA to anyone who is on GLP-1's, you can lose up to 30% of your muscle mass if you are NOT combining it with a structured exercise routine! Logistics- My initial question when I first found them through a google search was "how's the parking situation??" Parking is accessible and free! Such a rarity on this side of LA. The biggest bang for your buck is signing up for their monthly membership to get unlimited access to all their classes. My personal focus was going to the group classes, but Surfcore also offers other opportunities for working out, including their barbell club, 6-week challenges that incorporates regimented combination of clean eating with workouts, personal 1-on-1 training, and fun competitive events on holidays and at the beach - and more! We are SO extremely lucky to have been a part of the Surfcore community, and if it wasn't for making the move out of LA, we would've continued to stick with this gym for life. They have set an extremely HIGH bar(bell) for what we'll be looking for in a gym community in our next chapter. We are truly going to miss our Surfcore family!! If you are looking for a place to start your fitness journey, please do not hesitate to reach out to Jose & Carlos to join this vibrant community!!

    I knew exactly what I was getting into when I joined Planet Fitness. An affordable gym. Purple…read morewalls. Free pizza once a month. A "Judgement Free Zone." What I did NOT know I was signing up for... was RINGWORM. Honestly, I was shocked. I was in there looking cute too. Fresh matching ALO set. Expensive water bottle. Feeling like an off-duty fitness influencer who says things like "wellness journey." Then one day I look down at my leg and see this perfectly round circular welt. At first I was like... wait... did I protest this weekend? Did a cop shoot me with one of those non-lethal rubber bullets and I forgot? So naturally, I Google Image searched it like a real doctor. BOOM. Ringworm. Not exactly what Beyoncé meant when she said "put a ring on it." Now look, I'm not blaming Planet Fitness for this. This was clearly caused by the puddle of human soup left on the leg machine by that hot guy wearing a My Chemical Romance T-shirt, denim shorts, and Converse. No wonder he was sweating so much. Brother was dressed like he had a double shift at Hot Topic after this. So I go to the front desk and ask the employee what I should do about the ringworm and without even blinking he reaches behind the counter and pulls out a communal tube of Lotrimin antifungal cream like it was hand sanitizer. Not a NEW tube either. A battle-tested tube. The kind of tube that's seen things. And then he goes, "Here you go, man." Which means one of two things: They're incredibly helpful. This happens A LOT. So there I am, standing in the lobby of Planet Fitness, rubbing antifungal cream on my thigh next to a broken massage chair while Pitbull plays overhead. Judgement Free Zone indeed. 5 STARS.

They even have a Brazilian jujitsu studio next to the main workout area. I really like how open this space is. It's clean and both self contained and spacious at the same time.

Megan did a great job offering corrections during yoga sculpt without being invasive or aggressive. For my disabled friends, the women's bathroom has an accessible shower with a built-in seat and railing. I imagine the men's bathroom has one too.

The problem in LA when you're looking for a gym is: 1. The gyms in your vicinity are corporate owned and the clients range from disrespectful to arrogant, or all of the above. 2. The gyms have quality control issues, unhygienic, and unmaintained equipment and/or facilities 3. Charge exorbitant rates for basic elements every gym should have (high price = absolute bellend customers who wish they could be at the Bezos wedding). This gym takes care of all three of those and then some. Having met and chatted with Dakota, Eric, Grace, and Brett (some of the gym's amazing staff), if the facilities don't convince you this is the most well balanced, INDEPENDENTLY OWNED gym in LA, these guys certainly will. They are so bloody friendly and make the atmosphere feel great. To your continued success and expansion GymTonic

    Back in Sept 1, 2025, some random stranger texted me about their missing wallet, accusing me of…read morestealing it. Whole time I was confused and told them I had nothing to do with it. They continued to harass and threaten me, even finding my social media accounts and stalking me. They managed to record the front security monitor from their phone and send me footage of me being at the Stairmaster they claimed to have left it at prior to them losing their wallet. Footage merely showed me being at that location with no proof of any wallet being there, let alone being taken. The stranger then continued to threaten me, attempted to arrange meeting in person, and even threatening to reach out to my employer. LA Fitness also contacted me so I can "clear" my name. Whole time, there was no proper investigation or police report filed. Just hearsay and no accountability or consideration of the possibility of them losing their wallet. What was infuriating was that the stranger was allowed access to my personal information and sensitive camera footage. Aside from my safety, they also blindly put themselves in possible danger without knowing who they were contacting. And further, the front desk played a role in not just allowing that behavior, but also even playing into the accusation by contacting me without a proper investigation. The manager at the time, Enrique, provided no reassurance and the burden was placed on me to follow-up and check-in rather than them apologizing and keeping me posted on the situation. I've since filed complaints to corporate and the California Privacy Protection Agency. Under no circumstances is this type of behavior appropriate, ethical, or legal. I have since ended my membership and will no longer return to this location or any other LA Fitness.

You can feel right away that it's a gym where everyone is welcomed. All body types. All ages. No egos. What continues to surprise me is the knowledge that the trainers have. Nick has an educated response to all of my random questions, and continues to motivate and encourage me on my journey. It's a great feeling knowing what the exercises are doing for you and how to do them correctly. I look forward to every visit to Virtuo and seeing more and more results!

I've always loved working out, but preferred to do it at home…read morebecause the gyms I've joined in the past seemed overly focused on weight loss, appearance, and really were just icky places where I never enjoyed spending my time! Last year while recovering from a back injury, I decided to book a few sessions with a personal trainer to help me get back into exercising safely. A friend recommended Virtuo, and I was happy to find out it was a smaller gym. It immediately felt welcoming and friendly. I worked out with Keith and enjoyed it so much that my "few sessions" turned into 8 months of training with him. Keith was knowledgeable, supportive, and always encouraging. He helped me rebuild my strength and confidence while always being mindful of my back. He was also genuinely fun to talk to, which made every workout way more enjoyable! One thing I especially appreciated was that the staff never assumed my goal was to lose weight or change my appearance. The focus was always on getting stronger and healthier. Even my nutrition calls with Sarita focused on building sustainable habits and eating for energy rather than calorie restriction or chasing some number on the scale. If your goals do include fat loss or looking amazing, they can absolutely help with that (they are all in incredible shape themselves!) but they will never make you feel pressured into something that doesn't align with your goals. You'd expect a room full of fit trainers to be intimidating, but somehow here it's the opposite. I never once walked into Virtuo feeling intimidated or walked out feeling self-conscious. The owner Brandon and his entire staff are some of the kindest people I've met in LA. There's a real sense of community, everyone cheering each other on, genuinely good vibes, and lots of laughs. The only reason I'm leaving is because I'm moving out of the neighborhood, and I'm so sad to go. I can't recommend Virtuo enough!

It was not a clear establishment like OTF or F45. The class I took was on a Wednesday and it was only two of us.

In the beginning Steve was very friendly and none stop communication until I decided to try his gym. Prior to signing up, I discussed that I wanted to train 4x a week with him before he passes me on to other people. So I signed up and paid $1200 ( waste of money) thinking i would train 4x as week with him. The next day I showed up Steve was there and no communication of who I was meeting, I ended up training with a 22 years "actor" who has zero interest in my fitness goals, but just there to do the job. It was impossible to train with anyone as everyone was busy with their clients and such. I didn't even get to use my 16 sessions leaving me owed 5. It was literally a scam of $1200 for believing him. And after that first initial meeting, I never heard from him or saw him. But he happened to be on Grindr recruiting next victims. Be careful when you signed up and never believe their 4 star reviews as it is shit show in there. He tent to hire "actors and artists who has zero experience in training but happened to use them and it's really sad. Don't believe me. I have receipts .
