I've trained at probably 30+ gyms and counting and Different Breed is arguably in the top 5. Pros: - Plenty of equipment. Built similar to a Crossfit Box so appeals more toward powerlifters, weightlifters, cross fitters rather than strongmen/women. Ground is reinforced so you can drop bumper plates throughout most of the gym. Equipment also is well-maintained and functional. - No crowds. This is possible in part because there are no classes just private training. If you come weekday evenings, you often have the gym to yourself. - Access to speaker system via tablet with Spotify. Big plus to control the music. - Kyle (the owner) creates a friendly atmosphere and didn't upsell me when I joined, which is typical of globe gyms. No initiation fees, month-to-month, easy cancellation. - Plenty of street parking and a small private lot in the back. The furthest that I parked from the gym was probably 25 feet from the front entrance. - 24 hrs facility via phone app access. Also a great sell since most gyms have limited hours on Sundays. - Kyle and the trainers sometimes lift up the garage doors in the front and back. Allows for fresh air and extra light. - Place is clean. One of the trainers consistently vacuums the place. - Gym members are friendly. Cons- Not much other than nitpicking a few small things (e.g., would be nice to have a water cooler or fountain, there were two occasions where a member left some blood on the barbells). - Price is a little high if you're a student, but you do get a lot out of the membership.

This place is miraculous! From the moment I walked in I felt welcomed. Kyle (owner) was there to great me with a smile. He walked me through the gym and filled me in on classes, busy times, taught me how to work the music and the equipment. I could see others working out and they all seemed happy and like they were getting a great workout. The equipment was plentiful and had everything I was looking for! During COVID I have been even more impressed. They created a video on how to proceed with all the regulations and how we could stay safe while still getting a good workout. They put so much time and effort into making spots so everyone could safely workout and it made me very happy to know I could trust this gym. Everyone who works there is always polite, patient, and willing to help. I really think this gym belongs in the top 10 of LA and don't ever see myself leaving. Thank you Different Breed! Happy to be part of the Breedstrong family.
