    A few notes to consider before reading any equinox reviews:…read more* I go to multiple equinoxes in LA and OC. This review leverages the experience of these other equinoxes in mind * Lots of entitled and spoiled people go to Equinox and consider even minor every day hiccups huge inconveniences worthy of the death penalty. They come onto yelp and leave disgruntled reviews. Make sure to adjust for this. Parking (****) - like any gym in LA, real estate is tight and parking validation only lasts for a limited time. Westwood gym is a 2 hour validation and going from the parking to the gym is quick and easy. Above average compared to other gyms. LAFitness right across the street is 90m and you'll spend over 10 minutes getting to and from your car. I still think this is not enough for a gym visit so I take my scooter and dont have to worry about it. I'm surprised there aren't more e-bikes or scooters. Gym layout(***) Also needs the caveat of: like any gym in LA real estate is tight... this means small floor layouts separated by stairs and more stairs. The gym could have been designed with better use of floor space. They have the equipment seprated by type (free weight, assisted) which is unfortunate. It would be better if all the leg equipment was in one place, all the chest equipment in another, regardless of whether it's free weight or not. Still this is just a minor gripe. Customer Service (**) - this is where all the LA gyms suffer. It's just... LA. Compared to the OC gyms the CS is really mediocre but compared to LA it's probably above average. This is probably a plus for busy gym goers that don't want to be bothered with pleasantries but coming from OC, where all the employees give you genuine hellos, smiles, fist bumps, shoot off quirky compliments as you lift, make you feel at home, know you by name...it is kind of dry. Pool (??) - can't really comment as I dont swim but you can see the pics. Not all the LA gyms have a pool so i'm assuming this is a plus. Steam room (***) - just average. The clientelle doesn't quite know how to use the eucalyptus oil spray so it's always musty. Spray that shit constantly on the steam homies. Boxing (*****) - i love this boxing gym. No speed bag but it's a separate room with double end bag, heavy bag, and a tear drop bag. Usually empty. Some people kind of dick around in there for a whole hour but I mostly see people doing efficient hard core works outs and stepping out within 20-30 min. So if you brought your e-scooter, not a big deal to wait for it to open up. Usually empty when i show up Overall this is my go to gym in LA. Occasionally i'll go to culver city or santa monica for a change of scenery but i like this one best.

    No gym etiquette at any of the locations. This guy is having a full LOUD conversation on the phone…read morewhile strolling on the treadmill - something that could be done on a sidewalk. Wearing lots scents/cologne. Those of us trying to actually run one by one abandoned the treadmills. Equinox is not a serious workout facility. Working out requires focus. No one says anything to these people. And the little index card signs aren't cute, they're ineffective.

    Corepower Yoga is a big national chain and so of course it's best to rank the facilities against…read moreone another rather than against a greater ideal of what a yoga studio could or should be. Having been to many CorePower all throughout the United States, especially in the southern California area, I can say the studio is pretty average. It's a bit old and needs updating. There is nasty old carpet throughout the entire facility and the paint and surfaces are worn down. They do have one large yoga room that has mirrors on two walls, which is preferable to the mirrors on one wall that seems to be the new trend. The worst situation here is the parking. Westwood has serious parking challenges, and that you only get an hour and a half of parking when you come to this facility is nowhere near enough time to park, get to class, take a shower, get back to your car. I ended up paying $3.25 for just going over by a couple of minutes, and that is charged on 15 minute increments so it adds up quickly. The instructor was a substitute for my yoga sculpt class and she was fine. Her music was contemporary and upbeat. The class was, as the style of classes very hot and humid. The room was filled with 20 year old girls. There were only two young guys there and no one over the age of 40. I personally would avoid coming back to the studio as I didn't enjoy the vibe and the carpet on the floor really grosses me out. TL/dr: not my favorite Corepower Yoga facility

    I've been a loyal CorePower Yoga member for almost 15 years, but I recently canceled my membership…read moredue to the decline of the Westwood location. Unfortunately, this studio has gone downhill compared to others. The rooms are no longer heated to the same level as other CorePower studios, many of the strongest instructors have left, and there aren't enough C2 classes on the schedule. What ultimately led me to cancel, though, was the pricing. Over the past year, my membership rate was increased twice, despite being told it would not go up. I also know several long-time members who have either canceled or moved to other studios for the same reasons. It's disappointing to walk away after so many years, but the value and experience at this location no longer justify the cost. Know that they will keep increasing your membership!

    I came here yesterday for the first time and had a wonderful experience! The studio is new, bright…read moreand clean with a comfortable waiting area if you come early or want to hang out after class. I love how they have water and tea available too. The studio is located right in Westwood village and very easy to locate. There are parking lots and meters available for parking. The class I took was a booty and Abs class that was accessible to students of all levels. The instruction was great and I felt like I left the class a bit sore and stronger! Everyone there was so friendly and accommodating and the Pilates reformers were all in great condition! They also have all the props you need there! Just remember your grip socks!

    My favorite studio in LA. I've been a loyal client of their Santa Monica location for years and…read morewas so excited when they opened a location in Westwood. I would drive over 30 mins from Westwood to Santa Monica even though in my area there's literally a Pilates studio on every corner. Mighty is the perfect balance of a hard work out but making sure you are safe and won't walk away injured or in pain. I've never looked and felt better since doing Pilates at mighty. I started my Pilates journey after a bad knee knee accident, several surgeries and still not feeling like myself I started private Pilates sessions and quickly moved on to group classes. I've never been the type of person to enjoy group classes but mighty has me hooked. The staff, instructors, classes, equipment and all around environment is wonderful and makes you motivated to keep coming back. The vibe at this studio is younger, close to UCLA, and has a city feel, makes you feel like you are transported to New York. If you're new to Pilates or just looking for a new studio look no further, this is definitely the place to be. And check out their instagram or website as they always have pretty amazing specials. Also thank you Gina, the manager, she always is super helpful and accommodating. You can tell she really cares about her job and her clients. Alexis at the front desk is also always super helpful and has a huge smile on her face.

    I signed up for class a week early because weekend classes are always so busy that I wanted to make…read moresure I had a spot. I have taken class many times and I always check in on the app before class starts. Today I looked at my app right before class started to make sure I go to the correct treadmill. I went in and started my workout. A minute later an employee came over stopped my workout and said I "needed to leave because I did not check in". I could have sworn I checked in, when I looked at the app right before class to check my treadmill spot it did not say I needed to check in or see anyone at the desk. I cannot believe they would kick someone out who prepaid and booked a week in advance to give it to someone that just walked in. I bought a month of 30 classes for $475 to be kicked out because I did not tap a button on my app just to have the class given to someone who did not even sign up for class! I was outraged and doubt I ever go back to that location. What should have happened is they should have told me I must have forgot to check in and in the future make sure I do that. Then they should have told the person who DID NOT sign up for class that "We apologize the person in class forgot to check in and there is actually not a spot available". People who just show up without a reservation know the risk that a spot may not be available. It was handed so unprofessional and Barry's needs to get their staff better prepared for customer service situations.

    My favorite work out studio of 2023 visited a total of 93 times! Everyone at the front desk is…read moresuper friendly, especially Adrian who I met on my first day. I usually will take a morning class with Austin or Taryn, but sometimes will take a class later in the day if I have the time. All the instructors I've had have been great. It can be very hectic in the bathroom early morning with people getting ready for work. I always leave feeling like I accomplished a great work out. Sometimes when my body isn't feeling up for cardio, it's nice to have the option to sign up for double floor. The classes are very expensive, but you can get them cheaper through class pass or during their summer and winter sale packages.
