Amazing experience overall. The gym has all the equipment you could ever need, tons of space, a parking lot, group classes, and personal training —all at very reasonable prices. Members are friendly and approachable and there's a strong community aspect to this gym.I've been doing personal training with Luis for the past 5 months and have seen tremendous improvement in my flexibility, athleticism, and overall strength. He is incredibly positive and encouraging while also challenging you directly to push past your limits. The sessions are always personalized and the results have been clear. I'm in the best shape of my life and hit new PRs every month.Fully recommend this gym to folks at any fitness level, CrossFit enthusiasts, and really anyone looking to add structure and accountability to their exercise routine.

I did a drop-in CrossFit class with coach Luis. Luis was fantastic! He was very attuned to my skill level even though I was a visiting guest. I've always struggled with double-unders--Luis was very patient and encouraging as he coached me on the proper technique. I actually set a personal best with the double-unders here at ESTLR.I'd recommend ESTLR to anyone, regardless of their experience with CrossFit. I got to chat with ESTLR owner, Darren briefly. He seems to genuinely care for his community.-Matthew, Chicago.

I recently had the pleasure of experiencing one of the finest gyms in town, and I couldn't be more thrilled to share my glowing review. This gym exudes cleanliness, cool vibes, and an atmosphere that's simply hard to beat.From the moment you walk in, you're greeted by a sense of cleanliness that sets the tone for your entire workout. The equipment is immaculate, and the heavy barbell lifting section is a dream come true for anyone serious about strength training. I've never seen such well-maintained weights and machines.What truly sets this gym apart is its artistic vibe, thanks to the captivating murals adorning the walls. These masterpieces provide the perfect backdrop for an energizing workout. It's like exercising in an art gallery, and it adds a unique touch to the overall experience.The coaches here are a cut above the rest. Their expertise is evident, and they're always eager to help you achieve your fitness goals. Whether you're a beginner or a seasoned athlete, their guidance and knowledge are invaluable.One standout feature is the in-house physical therapy service. It's a game-changer for those who want to address any nagging injuries or muscle imbalances. Plus, the availability of clean towels adds that extra touch of luxury.In summary, this gym is a hidden gem for fitness enthusiasts. It seamlessly combines cleanliness, cool vibes, and a supportive crowd with top-notch equipment, artistic ambiance, and knowledgeable coaches. The in-house physical therapy service is the icing on the cake. If you're serious about your fitness journey, this gym is an absolute must-visit.

I highly recommend this gym for CrossFit enthusiasts located or willing to commute to the Arts District in DTLA. The coaching is phenomenal and the programming is definitely challenging. Darren, the owner is very attentive to how he manages the gym and ensures that everyone has a great experience.

It's been a little over a year coming to my second CrossFit gym and there's been no lack of progression as the programming is challenging and engaging! As someone who's a few years into CrossFit, I remember how difficult it was to initially learn the movements, and how intimidating it was to show up the first few weeks, but after creating the habitual frequency and making friends in the classes here, it's never been easier to want to stay in shape. CrossFit is a journey, and you're ultimately in control of the direction you want to take it. When you want to do more, and really challenge your body and mind, this is a great place to do that. Not only am I becoming stronger and more mobile, but I've made great friends here with coaches, members and the owner Darren who goes out of his way to listen to our feedback. Grateful to have this gym as an option, highly recommended you to try it! Also, there's a parking lot, and tons of free parking around the arts district if the lot is full.

I wasn't a fan of CrossFit or weight training and that's when I found maestro Gnarly Charlie. A yoga, parkour, gymnast . After two years of training with him I went from a slim artist painter to a hand standing , gymnast with a hard body. All my friends now compliment me on my gains ! I like the open gym space, friendly members , and commitment to gains!Power! As Gnarly Charlie would say .

I've been coming to this gym for about two years and I highly recommend it. I've done both Olympic Weightlifting and Crossfit here and am stronger and in better shape than ever. The community is very welcoming, motivating, and fun. The coaches take the time to make sure you are properly warmed up and are able to progress in your skills. The facility is clean, organized, and has tons of equipment. I've loved it here so far and I'm sure you will too!

ESTLR is an outstanding Crossfit gym located in the Arts District of Downtown Los Angeles that has truly changed my life. I started to gain weight during COVID, and after joining ESTLR, I am now in the best shape of my life.One of the things I love most about ESTLR is the strong sense of community and encouragement among the members. From the moment I walked in, I felt welcomed and supported by everyone there. Whether it's cheering each other on during a tough workout or offering helpful tips and advice, the members at ESTLR are all disciplined individuals who are committed to helping each other succeed.I've learned so much about taking care of my mental and physical health. The other members inspire me to take care of my body, to eat well and focus on nutrition, sleep, rest and my mental healthy. ESTLR = Eat - Sleep - Train - Live - Repeat. All of the members at the gym embody this message. It is truly inspirational. I look at some members and inspire to do 50% of what they can do. I can't find another place to meet more inspirational people!!!Now I want to give some shoutouts to some specific people:----The owner, Darren, is truly exceptional. He's not only incredibly knowledgeable and experienced in the world of crossfit, but he's also a kind and compassionate person who genuinely cares about his members. He's always there to provide guidance and support, and he creates a welcoming and inclusive environment that makes everyone feel comfortable and motivated.Moreover, ESTLR has some of the best coaches I've seen in any Crossfit gym. The coaches at ESTLR, (especially Luis, Charly, Caroline, Coach T [Tiara], Christian, Juwan) are incredibly technical and knowledgeable, providing the kind of expertise that sets this gym apart from others. Their attention to detail, patience, and ability to break down complex movements into manageable parts have been invaluable to my progress.As someone who has dropped into many Crossfit gyms, I can say that the level of technical expertise at ESTLR is unparalleled. The coaches here are not only passionate about what they do but are also skilled at teaching and motivating their members to achieve their best.Last but not least, I've meet some great individuals who I can call as my good friends. You can see their reviews below (shout out to Ben, Sandy, Pierre, Hugo, Tony F, Tony L, Kimberly, Dan, Peter, Kevin, Omar) and many more I failed to mention) who I enjoy seeing every day. We are very competitive - we're always trying to beat each other but they make me a better person and cross fitter. Overall, I highly recommend ESTLR to anyone looking for a top-notch Crossfit gym with exceptional coaches, a welcoming community, and a supportive atmosphere that will help you achieve your fitness goals. Whether you're a seasoned Crossfit athlete or just starting out, ESTLR is the perfect place to experience the incredible benefits of this challenging and rewarding workout program.
