“I’ve trained at this studio for three years, and after many changes it finally feels like the studio energy is back. The new coaching team is fire!. Coaches Brock and Valentine bring real passion, give spot-on form cues, and keep the room buzzing with great playlists! Also major shoutout to Coach Taylor for holding things together through the restructuring. She kept me coming back year-round!”

“Love the staff and classes here, especially Kishan for yoga on Wednesdays, Derek on Thursdays and Henry for the spa! The manager Ian has also been extremely helpful as well ?”

“Maria and Ceelia had the best customer service at the front desk. They made sure I was well taken care of and made me feel very welcomed. Class was great and an overall great experience. Will definitely recommend ! ??”

“I’ve trained here for a year and a half and absolutely loving the small group trainings. Super efficient to get a good workout in half an hour, and coaches are frequently checking in on diets. Super wholesome energy from everyone who works out here. Highly recommend!”

“I took Natasha’s 5pm class on Wednesday and it was awesome! She has such good energy, great cues that made me adjust and feel the burn more. It was a great way to end my night!”

“Coach Maya had the class super motivated and was so welcoming for this newcomer. Workout was so amazing that I came back the next day (though I was super sore). Bonus points because her workout soundtrack took me back...80s baby here. Purchased 30 classes. See you there!”

“Fitness Covered is truly a hidden gem in Los Angeles and an absolute 10/10 for anyone looking for a more personalized, supportive, and well-rounded fitness experience. I’ve been in and out of gyms for years trying to find the right environment and coaching style, and I’m so grateful I found Fitness Covered!

From day one, the team here made me feel taken care of. Brandon, Kevin and Rex go above and beyond to understand your goals, your history, and any limitations you may have, and they tailor everything to make sure you feel confident, safe, and supported. Their attention to detail is unmatched, and you can tell they genuinely care about your long-term success, not just your workouts.

The space itself is clean, welcoming, and never overcrowded, which makes every session feel focused and intentional. Between the personalized training, the recovery tools, the nutrition guidance, and the overall positive energy, it’s such a refreshing change from the typical busy LA gym scene.

What I appreciate most is how empowering the process has been. I’ve learned how to lift with proper form, build strength without aggravating old injuries, and stay consistent with nutrition in a way that still allows balance (yes, I still enjoy my wine and weekend meals!). The accountability and support here genuinely make a difference.

Fitness Covered has played a huge role in helping me feel stronger, healthier, and more confident. If you’re looking for a private, high-quality gym with a team that truly cares about your progress, I couldn’t recommend this place more.

Thank you, Fitness Covered team, for everything you do!”

“I’ve been training at Allegiate for the past 2.5 years, and it has truly been one of the best investments I’ve ever made in my health, and I don't say that lightly.

Before Allegiate, my strength training experience was basically nonexistent. I mostly relied on Pilates and long walks. I always wanted to build muscle and get stronger, but I had no idea where to start. Programming workouts, figuring out exercises, sets, reps..it all felt overwhelming and intimidating.

A friend who works in athletics at UCLA recommended Allegiate, so I decided to give it a try. I started with personal training for the first 6 months..then moved into Strength Class, and after about a year of Strength Class, I moved into the advanced Team Class.

The progress I’ve made since then has honestly been life-changing. When I started, I couldn’t do a single pull-up. Now I can do four. I struggled to do 1-2 push-ups, now I can do 10+. I couldn’t deadlift even half my bodyweight, and now I’m lifting 1.7x my bodyweight. Seeing those kinds of gains over time has completely changed how confident and capable I feel.

What sets Allegiate apart, especially in LA, is that it’s not flashy or focused on aesthetics or “influencer” culture. It’s about the fundamentals: smart programming, proper form, and getting stronger in a sustainable way. You don’t have to figure anything out on your own. You just show up, follow the program, and get coached.

The coaching is incredible. Every coach knows you by name, explains the “why” behind what you’re doing, and makes strength training approachable instead of intimidating. I’ve learned so much, and I’ve built real relationships here, people I call my friends. The community is just as special. Classes feel like training with the same group of people each week..it’s supportive, consistent, and feels more like a team than a typical gym.

Allegiate taught me that fitness doesn’t have to be complicated..stick to the basics, stay consistent, and results come. I’m stronger than I’ve ever been, and I can’t recommend this place enough.”

“I have been a member for 5 months now and I have nothing but positive things to say about GTS. They really care about providing a great experience to their members. I checked out Equinox, Planet Fitness, 24 hour fitness, and have been a member at other local gyms. If your focus is getting your work in and learning proper form you won't find a better deal. Overall: The best gym. Very good price given what you get. Their session cancellation and unused pass policy is very generous. All of the instructors are top notch and very nice people. No gym bros here. As a female, I really appreciate the friendly but focused atmosphere. Master Classes: Excellent. They will teach you proper form to get the max strength out of you while preventing injury. If you have a past injury, they will show you tips to still be able to train (I had an injury from before I started going to this gym). So far, I have taken the Day 1 and Day 2 master classes. I have knee problems from before and I found it unbelievable that with their instruction I was able to do full proper squats. Atmosphere/occupancy: Also excellent. I've never had to wait for any squat racks ever. There have been times when I'm the only one in the gym, especially early in the morning. They have a good mix of machines and I've always been able to make it work what they have. Everyone is very courteous. If there's any equipment that's malfunctioning I just have to send a text to the owners and they address it right away. Other members: People are usually minding their own business, but everyone is polite and considerate. Most people will give you a wave or nod if you're working out during the open gym. Owner/Coaches: Jason, the owner, is great. Again, my experience is that he is focused on providing the best experience for the members. He is a great coach and is very knowledgeable about form and the mechanics of strength training. I have interacted with two other coaches and have felt very comfortable and cared for during their instruction. As a female, this is something I really appreciate.”

“It’s a great place to start a workout. Bri was a great host, her positivity, and detailed explanations makes you feel welcomed. I recommend this place for beginners!”

“Awesome gym, awesome people. Best workout ive done in a long long time. Community is great. Coaches know what they're talking about and they take the time to learn about you, your goals, and your unique needs. 6 stars if i could- give it a try!”

“I found AMP about 7 months ago and genuinely couldn’t love this place more. The community of people who come in every single day and just get after it has been truly inspiring, especially in a world filled with people are always looking for short cuts. You will be pushed here no doubt, I get humbled every single time I step through the doors (in the best way). I couldn’t recommend AMP more for those who want a community based around genuine desire to improve as people and as athletes.”

“This gym is a hidden gem! While the owner isn’t involved in day-to-day operations, he has left it in the capable hands of Sean, who does a phenomenal job interacting with clients and mentoring his staff. The trainers are not only knowledgeable but genuinely care about each guest’s well-being. It’s a place where you feel a real sense of community while also getting a killer workout. Highly recommend!””

“Oak Park LA is the gym I’ve been looking for my entire life. I’ve been a member for 1.5 years and can’t speak highly enough about the quality of the coaches, programming, and facility. I’d been a member at 2-3 other CrossFit gyms in other cities and kept getting injured due to improper form and going too hard too often. Oak Park LA coaches have helped me improve on the fundamentals, identify opportunities for individualized growth, and discern when to push myself versus taking it easy. The intentionality + philosophy behind the coaching is unparalleled and I’m grateful to be a part of the community.

The sauna + cold plunge is also a huge perk of being a member here :)

If you’re looking for intentional growth as an athlete and human Oak Park LA is the gym for you.”

“I was never a “gym person” and joined CrossFit Hollywood a bit skeptically, mainly because it was close to home and I wanted to complement my running training with some cross-training. From day one, I felt genuinely welcomed—not just by the exceptional coaches, but by the community of members who make this place so special.

Nearly 8 months in, I can honestly say it’s been a fantastic experience. I’m seeing real results and, more importantly, I’ve found a small, supportive community that makes showing up something I look forward to. Every coach here is top class—knowledgeable, motivating, and always attentive.

If you’re even slightly considering it, give it a shot. This place has completely changed how I feel about training.”

“The best thing I’ve done in years has been joining Unlimited Fitness! After coming off an Achilles rupture injury in 2022, I had been dragging my feet for a year to get back into shape, nervous about re-injuring myself. When I joined UFIT, the trainers not only welcomed me with open arms but have made me feel comfortable by giving me modifications in order to make me feel safe. The gym is always clean. Community always friendly. And music always poppin!”

“Started going to GTS Redondo just after they opened in 2022. I opted for the intro barbell program where you work 1:1 with a trainer to go through each of the primary barbell lifts (bench, squat, deadlift, overhead) along with a multitude of other lifts. The coaches are very knowledgeable about technique and overall great to work with. GTS operates on a reservation system, so it’s never too busy which is amazing. Would highly recommend to any gym goer looking to level up ??”

“I’ve been going to Deuce Athletics (DA) since 2019 or so and like the founder told me before I started, “It’ll change your life…” Well I’ll be damned. It did!Previous to attending DA, I was going to Anytime Fitness and later CrossFit. Both places just didn’t land for me. DA has the perfect match of intensive coaching and perfectly tailored strength and conditioning classes that are challenging but won’t leave you hurt or unable to walk or more the next day.If you’re the average or below average athlete, they’ll start you with a crawl, walk then run regimen that’s fun and will plus you up in a long term fashion devoid of injury.Their coaches are energetic, thoughtful and very skilled. Each class for me feels like a one on one, but surrounded with fantastic personalities by way of the students who attend class.Classes aside, DA likes to craft a community centered around athletics. We frequently have social outings and gatherings and I’ve made many of a quality friend that will last for life.If you’re looking forward to a gym that’s more than a gym and more of an energetic experience filled with passion, DA is your spot!”

“The trainers are all first class, the classes and conditioning are tremendous., The trainers offer tips for improving in classes emphasizing the proper and correct techniques. But more importantly, all the trainers have a genuine interest in everyone improving, succeeding and enjoying the process.”

“I’ve been training with Mark at Body By Design, and the experience has been transformative. Mark’s expertise and personalized approach make each session effective and motivating. He crafts tailored workouts that align with my goals and constantly pushes me to achieve more. The gym itself is well-equipped and maintains a supportive atmosphere. If you're looking for a personal trainer who combines knowledge, dedication, and a genuine commitment to your success, Mark at Body By Design is the ideal choice.”

“Class was run very well. The warmup was well designed and explained. All the movements were demonstrated clearly. Albie gave me good technique advice and motivation which helped me rock out my deadlift set!”

“Love this place! I’ve been coming for about 3 months and it is the most consistent I have been with my workouts in a long time. The coaches and staff are great, as are the other members. The way the workouts are planned makes it pretty dummy proof, show up, put in the work, reap the benefits. Tracking both the progression of weight and reps each week through the app and through the analytics like nordboard and forcedeck has been an awesome way to satisfy my competitive side, making me compete with myself rather than others. I’ve done all kinds of other boutique classes and lifting programs and I haven’t felt as bought in to any of them the way I am here. It’s made it easy to get excited about the gym, I’m Highly recommend!”

“I’ve been a member of five different CrossFit gyms during my fitness journey, and CrossFit Inglewood is by far the most down-to-earth. The community here is amazing—just a bunch of genuinely nice people who truly understand that health is wealth and now is the time to invest in their future. The coaches are supportive, the workouts are challenging yet approachable, and the overall vibe makes you look forward to showing up. I can’t recommend this place enough if you’re looking for a gym that feels like home while helping you become your best self.”

“The one true oly lifting gym in the South Bay. I am very happy I found this place I am glad to call my second home. The coaching, programming, camaraderie and atmosphere is why I cant leave the gym.”

“Huge shout out to Christian. I've been training with him for over a year now and the results have been amazing. He's great at tailoring the program to your goals and needs.

Staff is very helpful and they keep the gym super clean.”

“Pharos Athletics is more than just a gym; it’s an incredible community of support. On days I don’t feel like working out, a quick message from DeAndre always motivates me to show up. The coaches, Camille, Derek, Liam, Erick, and DeAndre, are all amazing: supportive, knowledgeable, and truly care about your progress. The members are incredibly welcoming and make you feel right at home, with zero judgment. I love that my whole family, my daughter, sister, and brother-in-law, are all part of the Pharos community.”

“I love this studio. I practiced there for years in its former space on Barrington with Jay and Diane, and followed them out to Ocean Park. It is a grounded, well run studio with terrific and kind teachers and students. No pretense. Space for everyone. By far my favorite studio in LA - and I’ve trained at a lot of them over the past 15 years.”

“I am obsessed with F45 workouts! The coaches are very motivating and will correct your form. These circuit classes go by quickly and leave you feeling strong! I love that I can walk/jog to this location and watch the sunset on the beach afterward.”

“I started my fitness journey at Real Fitness a month ago and I couldn't be happier with the experience. The trainers are exceptional, especially Peter, who leads strength classes that are both challenging and rewarding. Michael's Friday morning boxing classes are a fantastic way to end the week on a high note. Alongside participating in classes four times a week and following nutritional advice from Peter, I've managed to lose 12 pounds already! This gym not only boasts top-notch trainers but also exudes a warm, family-like atmosphere. Highly recommended for anyone looking to transform their fitness routine!”

“The best gym I’ve ever attended! Everyone is so welcoming and motivating ! I love everyone here! If you want to have a good time and get the best results definitely come to the phoenix effect !”
