Fitness & Gyms near Altadena, CA

“I travel to the greater Los Angeles area several times a year and have spent the last TWO YEARS looking for a "gym away from home"....I finally found it!!! The Wellrock features small group training that focuses on form and function through just the right combination of strength training and endurance. I had the opportunity to work with three different trainers in one week - all of whom were outstanding! Each made me feel welcome, answered my questions, and was very encouraging and supportive. Each day's workout was well planned, organized, and challenging. Thank you Wellrock - if I could give you 10 stars, I would!”

“The gym is clean, with tons of machines, free weights, treadmills, elliptical, etc. They will have anything you would want and more. They also have pool, hottub, steam room, and basketball court. The location is great, the parking is easy, and the staff seem nice.I would recommend doing a 3 day trial and going in to talk to someone about signing up. They do have great deals.”

“I've been a member for about 10 years now and would give 10 stars if I could. The coaches at this gym are absolute gems. They're not just experts in their field, but they're also incredibly supportive and motivating. No matter your fitness level, they're there to guide you, correct your form, and push you to be the best version of yourself. Their passion and their genuine interest in helping you succeed is palpable, making each workout a rewarding experience.The community at this gym is second to none. You'll find members of all ages and fitness levels, and everyone is so welcoming and friendly. The camaraderie and encouragement in this gym create an atmosphere that's impossible to replicate elsewhere. It's not just a place to work out; it's a place to connect with like-minded individuals who share your goals and aspirations. I've made some of the greatest friendships here.The facility itself is top-notch. It's clean and well-maintained. Whether you're into weightlifting, gymnastics, or high-intensity cardio, they've got you covered. Highly recommend!”

“Started my experience about a month ago and so far it’s been a great experience! I feel stronger and healthier already. The team here at the El Monte location has been so supportive and motivating.”

“I am enjoying my time at CrossFit Crown City so far. The workouts are challenging, but they can be modified depending on one’s needs. The coaches have all been very kind, welcoming and helpful to me as a newbie. Coach Dex did an excellent job preparing me for my first class through individual sessions. Grateful to be part of the community and excited to improve my fitness as I continue to go to classes.”

“No doubt.. Fabian has assembled a team of super stars.Join 3volution 7itness and prepare to sweat!!!All the coaches are highly skilled and open their own brand of whup-@ss that will get you fit, energized and inspired.Not only do the coaches push you to give it your all, they are mindful of limitations and are careful to avoid injuries..But this is really not why I highly recommend this gym. The coaches have created a community where they show their sincere care. You'll experience it when they greet you by name.Give this gym a try!You'll work hard and feel greatYou'll walk out with a smile knowing that there is a place where everyone knows your name :-)”

“LOVE LOVE NELA athletics. It’s rare to find a place where every single trainer is top notch AND cares about your progress and your health. The staff checks in with you. The ignite classes are fantastic, fun and challenging in the best way. Special shout out to Coach Erwin. Not only did I get fit but I also found a community. Nothing compares!”

“Carina created a wonderful place to get strong and meet strong women! I signed up at the end of 2021, because of the small group training option. It’s affordable, and you can workout while maintaining a safe distance from others. Carina keeps the facility clean and sanitary. There are plenty of options in terms of equipment to cater to your training needs. Carina will adjust your workout based on your preferences, abilities, and injuries. I noticed a significant difference in my strength, endurance, and overall health. Carina and the (predominantly) women here are friendly, caring, and supportive. This is a great place to go whether you’re a strong athlete or just starting your fitness journey.”

“I’m finishing up a two week trial of Hype and I love it! They truly are positive and welcoming! I have ADHD and sometimes with the music, lights, microphone and multiple instructions for HiiT I have trouble memorizing the circuit exercises and Kate has been amazing coming over to remind me and support- not the experience I’ve had at other gyms (cough, ahem Golds Gym). Definitely going to buy a pack of more classes!”

“I dropped in to an 8 am class while visiting family. The website said "join for the fitness, stay for the community" which I find to be the best thing about CrossFit. The coach was super knowledgeable and led a good warm up. Everyone was super nice and supportive of each other.”

“I’m in town a couple times a year and I just need a place to work out for a week at a time.Mission Fitness is that place. They have a great 1 week and 2 week pass that fits perfectly for my situation.So much equipment: benches, racks, platforms, you name it. Parking lot is always full, but still almost never have to wait for things. Chris is a nice guy too to top it all off.”

“I enrolled with Pendulum about 2 months ago and my experience from initial enrollment has been great. All of the staff are professional, responsive, and kind. The classes will work you extremely hard, but the coaches make it great. Despite being a large group, there are all different levels, from beginner to advanced. The coaches will be there to support you every step of the way. They are patient, kind, motivating, and genuinely want to see you succeed. After 2 months, my sentiment toward working out hasn’t changed (still have GREAT disdain), but I am showing up and doing the work; something I haven’t regretted. I’d highly recommend Pendulum for anyone interested in giving Cross Fit a try and has hesitations. You will be okay at Pendulum!”

“For the last 5 years (and counting), I had the immense pleasure of training at an extraordinary gym that has completely transformed my fitness journey. I cannot begin to express how grateful I am to have had the opportunity to work with such a knowledgeable, motivating, and inspiring group of trainers.From day one, it was evident that the trainers not only had a passion for fitness but also a deep understanding of the human body and how to achieve optimal results. Their wealth of experience and expertise in various training techniques made each session an exhilarating and effective workout.What sets these trainers apart is their ability to tailor exercises and routines specifically to your goals, abilities, and preferences. They took the time to truly understand my goals and limitations, crafting workout plans that were challenging yet attainable, ensuring continuous progress and growth. Their dedication to my success was unwavering, and their continuous support keeps me motivated throughout my fitness journey.I wholeheartedly recommend this gym without any hesitation. You will be forever grateful for the positive impact they will have on your life.”

“Love, love The Camp Monrovia!! From the staff to the trainers they are truly amazing. It doesn’t feel like a gym but a family. Everyone is on their own workout goals. The trainers are always pushing you because they know your limits which encouraging me to keep pushing for better. Javier is a great trainer just like the rest of the staff. The owner Diddy is truly awesome organizing and coming up with events for us. Look forward to being a member another year and keep pushing myself further!!”

“Sanctuary Fitness embodies everything you'd want in a new group HIIT gym you're trying out: welcoming, high energy, organized, and clean. The second I walked in for the very first time, I just knew that they love every single one of their customers, old or new - the front desk employee was super sweet in giving me a quick tour of the gym before I got started to familiarize myself. Once the previous class was over, she happily introduced me to the instructor for my class who gave me the rundown of how the class will work. The set up is super similar to most HIIT classes if you've taken one before: 4 sections with 2-3 different workouts that you'll complete in a certain amount of time then rotate to complete them all in 45 minutes. Every day are different focuses and I came on an arm/ab focused day. It was overall super fun, do-able for anyone (fitness background or not) & Adlai was an energetic + motivating instructor!! Highly recommend - however, DO come early for your class because metered parking can be super tough in the area especially in the morning!! I got super lucky in finding 1 quick for my 8 am class at 7:40.”

“I was surprised by how this gym could have so many glowing five star reviews but after going there I now understand and am leaving my own! Everything is done right and the space, size, energy, music, attitude are all top notch. It definitely has none of the aggro crossfit baggage which I understand some people want but jf you are looking for something more fun then combat , give it a try! If the website and photos seem like the place you would enjoy then you probably will! Prices and terms are super as well!”

“Defcon Athletics has a great training environment and community. Coach Vaz and the team of coaches at the gym are knowledgeable with their workouts and various movements. The gym is also very clean and well kept (huge plus!). I have trained at many other gyms and this one is among the best!”

“I was training with Justin over the summer and the sessions were super helpful with meeting my fitness goals. Justin is very knowledgable and made good use of the array of equipment in the facility. Excited to train in this gym again whenever I'm in the area again!”

“I go there specifically for muay thai (but they have other stuff) - the place is clean and also have weights so its 2-in-1 bonus.I love they focus on techniques, not just cardio, people are very nice, and love can do sparring.”

“We didn’t get the memo, but great minds think alike. These Rebellion Nation hoodies kept us warm, but 10 minutes into the workout, they flew right off. What I love about Rebellion Nation is the culture. We’re not just members, we’re family. They keep it fresh with new workouts, new trainers, and new competitions. Would definitely recommend to friends and families.”

“Orange Theory Fitness in Glendale is one of my absolute favorite studios! All of the SAs and Coaches are very kind and helpful. They truly go above and beyond to make sure you get the most out of your workout. I've been to 20+ studios and I would truly recommend this studio to anyone visiting the LA area or anyone contemplating taking their first class. You won't regret it!”

“Okay need to update. So I downgraded my membership and got double charges by basecamp for both my new and old levels. Called, and they said they'd fix it right up and call me back later that day. I had to call back and talk to someone, and was again assured it would be fixed and refunded. Well, here we are two weeks later....and nothing has been refunded. I had to call again today and was assured someone would fix it and call me back. They also offered to just credit my account. With the money, which normally I would be fine with, but because of how this has gone, I don't trust that it would be credited correctly...hopefully this works out today... Okay refund has finally been issued...so hopefully it's off my card soon. UPDATE: All fixed!!”

“I did the free first class trial. The instructor was kind and met with me beforehand. It's a guided workout in a class. It was a typical class, similar to F45. I've done orangetheory, Barry's, F45, and a lifting-class type of gym. I'd say they're most similar to F45. The workout is short due to the warm up and cool down time. There are NO mirrors anywhere. I disliked this because I like to look in the mirror to make sure my form and movements are correct. They didn't have very heavy weights for a lower body day. It was like a cardio workout that focused on your legs. I think this is a good place for true beginners who are looking to workout in a guided program for the first time. The instructor did help others who needed more guidance, so I think this would be helpful for people who have never gone to the gym before. But if you're more experienced or more athletic, I think a different gym for classes could be more beneficial”

“Coach Simone is special. I have patients that I refer to him, simply because he has the eye of a doctor as a coach…and that’s a rare combination in the industry. He knows exactly where your faults lie, and how to get you better without compromising anything. CrossFit Montrose is special. Their community keeps you pushing, enabling you to test the strength of your muscles, but not the integrity of your joints! Huge props to Coach Simone and the CrossFit Montrose team!”

“I can't speak enough good about this gym. The trainers really do care about each member and are constantly checking in to make sure we're staying on track with our fitness goals. They're highly knowledgeable, friendly, and motivating. The other members are welcoming and there are no egos here. Everyone pushes each other. The gym is incredibly clean, well stocked with a wide variety of equipment, and parking is easy and free.”

“Best GYM ever!!! The best coaches and great ambiance, we all consider as part of PPC family! Joining them was the best decision of my life and change of my body and health”

“I truly enjoy rev cycle's non-cycling classes and the facilities are newer. My least favorite aspect about Rev is that the single-occupancy restroom is often understocked--no hand soap etc. Despite this, easy access to the location and parking always available in the side streets.”

“Huge fan of this small studio, the energy the teachers bring is exactly what one needs at 7 in the morning and it's such a lovely way to start the day. The workouts are challenging but not overwhelming and they each take the amount of time that one feels sufficiently worked-out without over-extending. Really love this place :)”

“I started coming here over a year ago for personal training and it's been the best decision of my life. Kevin, Sam and all the coaches do a great job at keeping your pace up while maintaining proper form. The classes are fun and I've met some great people. Highly recommend!”
