@imjuliangutierrez I've been coming to this gym for a few months now, and honestly it's been one of the better decisions I've made this year. At 27, I'm not trying to be a bodybuilder, but I do want to stay in shape, keep my energy up, and not feel like my body's falling apart from sitting at a desk all day--and this place makes that easy. First thing I noticed was the atmosphere. It's got a solid mix of people--some serious lifters, some beginners, and a lot of people just trying to stay consistent. Nobody's really judging, which matters more than you'd think. You can just throw on your headphones and get to work. Locker rooms are clean enough--nothing fancy, but they get the job done. Same with the rest of the gym. It's clear they at least try to keep things maintained. If I had one complaint, it's that it can get a little crowded in the evenings, but that's pretty much any decent gym. If you can go earlier or later, it's way better. Overall, it's a solid spot. No gimmicks, no pressure--just a good place to put in work and stay on track. If you're around my age and just looking for a reliable gym to build a routine, I'd definitely recommend it. read more

I am extremely disappointed with the condition of this gym, especially considering the premium membership price. The facility is poorly maintained, and the overall experience falls far below what members should expect. Many of the machines and other equipment have been out of service for months with no apparent effort to repair them. Several benches and chairs are also broken, making it difficult to complete workouts safely and comfortably. Cleanliness is another major concern. The floors are consistently dusty, the facility feels poorly ventilated, and the overall environment appears neglected. The lack of cleanliness raises legitimate concerns about members' health and safety. The restrooms are in unacceptable condition. They are often dirty, with broken sinks, broken toilets, and one restroom frequently marked out of order. These issues have persisted without resolution. It is clear that this gym is not being properly maintained or managed. A facility charging premium prices should provide clean, safe, and fully functional equipment and amenities. In its current condition, this gym does not justify its membership cost and feels more like a budget facility. Management should address these issues immediately by thoroughly cleaning the facility, repairing or replacing broken equipment, and restoring the restrooms to proper working condition. Given the prolonged neglect and the reduced value members have received, I believe current members deserve a refund or account credit, along with several months of complimentary membership as compensation for the poor experience. read more

This is the best gym that I've been to in terms of pure motivation. I've dropped 26 lbs while packing on some quality size and it's only been 2.5 months. I think I owe a great deal to simply the variety of incredible Arsenal Hammer Strength Machines. They have a V-Squat and Pendulum Squat here, which alleviates all knee pressure and so many more options to choose from. I highly recommend it if you're looking to turn your buns into yum yums!! I'm literally the most out of shape person in this gym and it's only served as a huge inspiration to continue to improve. read more

@raymond.h4 Great equipment, great staff, great vibes, great everything. Brad is the owner and is awesome, he even lets little kids into the gym ifykyk. P.S pls forgive my brother togi read more

The gym's atmosphere is one of its biggest draws. The staff are friendly (once you become a regular), and the other gym-goers are consistently motivating. It's a place that fosters camaraderie and energy. However--and this is a big drawback--the gym's cleanliness and equipment upkeep leave much to be desired. Many members fail to put weights back, clean up after themselves, or wipe down machines after use. I have yet to see any evidence that the gym is professionally cleaned. The yoga mats are in poor condition, and workout equipment is frequently missing. Over the months I've been coming here, it's become clear that maintenance and replacements are not prioritized. My husband and I bring so many of our own gym equipment and accessories daily because we got tired of the items missing. Perhaps they aren't missing however like I stated earlier no one is organizing anything! It's disappointing that management seems more focused on superficial additions, like a juice bar, rather than addressing the basic needs of its members. read more

Zoo Culture - Eating good - Gyms Near Me - Encino, California

Zoo Culture is hands down one of the best gyms I've ever trained at! The atmosphere is electric serious lifters pushing heavy weight, constant motivation, and that raw energy you just don't get at commercial gyms. Equipment is top-tier (plenty of racks, machines, and free weights), the community is welcoming yet competitive in the best way, and Bradley Martyn's vision really shows. Day pass was pricey at $60 but 100% worth it for the vibe and focus. If you're serious about lifting and want to level up, this is the spot. Highly recommend! insta: @drvgog read more

Best gym in the world Brad is the absolute goat, togis teriyaki was pretty sick tho, insta- jackson_meyers06
