Fitness & Gyms near Pacific Palisades, CA

“I’ve had such an amazing experience at F45 Sherman Oaks! The workouts are challenging, fun, and never get boring. The coaches are incredibly knowledgeable, motivating, and genuinely care about helping everyone succeed, no matter their fitness level.

A special shout-out to Sean, Ace, Marissa, Jasmine, Ben & Riley! They are outstanding coaches who always bring great energy, encouragement, and positivity to every class. They push you to do your best while making every workout enjoyable. Thanks for helping me get back into the gym!”

“Absolutely love it here!

The owners Jameson and Kim are wonderful people! The coaches are awesome.

It’s truly an amazing, supportive, uplifting community to workout with. Wish I joined sooner!!!”

“This is an excellent gym to lose weight/ gain muscle and be healthy. The coaches are super positive and helpful in accomplishing your goals. You will receive not only the training program you will get a diet plan and they will follow up with you on weekly basis.
I would like to say thank you for everything I learned in this gym and I will back soon”

“I don't write reviews but I owe it to Deuce Gym, specifically Coach Jess, to write this. This place is special. The people here are special. And the vibes all around are special. I've never enjoyed working out and thought I was destined to be a thicc girly for the rest of my life but coming here changed my mind.

In May of 2025, I saw an ad for Deuce through instagram for a free trial and decided to check it out since I wanted to look good for my wedding in September 2025 but didn't know where to start. Coach Ben and Jess were amazing and I ended up doing to bodybuilding 202 program. I fell in love with the encouraging, community feel and the accountability of it all. I've never lifted weights before but I ended up loving it too! Before I knew it, I dropped 25 lbs before my wedding and had never felt better! I was slimmer, stronger, disciplined, and had more energy throughout my days. Because of Deuce Gym, I'm able to look back at my wedding photos and be proud of how I looked and felt then.

I moved to OC shortly after my wedding and had to cancel my membership but I still look back and remember all the fond, good and sweaty times I had at Deuce Gym. So if you're considering joining a gym, Deuce is it! Plus, they're dog-friendly!!”

“This is a great place to start lifting heavy, especially if you’ve never done it before. I avoided axial loading like the plague because of lower back problems for 2 decades. After getting on the program here with squats and deadlifts, my back feels better than it has since I was 20. Super approachable staff, multiple 24 hour locations. Dogs. What else do you need?”

“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!”

“Circuit works is the best work out hands down! The perfect mix of cardio and strength training in the hiit class. And the studio has so many class options and amenities.”

“I’ve been coming to Strive Firness for about two years now. I really like that there are no class times. They have two sessions. One in the morning and one in the evening. You show up at anytime during either session and you jump right in to the workout of the day. I’ve never had to wait to join in even on a busy day. I love that the workout is set for the day. There are 11 stations and you rotate every two minutes. I really like how this is set up. Less for me to think about and I get a good work out in for the day. The trainers are great. They are there to help out and motivate you. Matt is so helpful and friendly and will help me modify exercises when I need a modification. Highly recommend this gym!”

“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’m brand new to Jiu-Jitsu, and walking into a gym for the first time was pretty intimidating. But from day one at New Ground, the entire process felt smooth, inviting, and genuinely fun. The coaches are very patient, clear, and always open to questions. They create an environment where you can ask anything and never feel “too new” or out of place.

Very quickly, I realized the coaches treat every student the same, no matter your rank or experience level. Whether you are brand new like me or have been training for years, they give you the same respect, attention, and encouragement. There is never a sense of superiority or arrogance, just a genuine desire to help everyone improve and learn.

The other students are a testament to the atmosphere the coaches have built. Everyone I have trained with has been friendly, supportive, and quick to offer help.

If you are considering starting no-gi BJJ but feel nervous or unsure, New Ground is the place to take that first step.”

“Truly emary is the best everytime, takes her time with every move showing us all forms of varieties, she’s so strong it’s motivational and just the most fun teacher! Best class ever”

“I love the friendliness and accessibility of this gym! Open 24-7 and easy parking - tough to find around here. The coaches are knowledgeable and really down-to-earth, so the gym has a fun atmosphere but is also a place where you can get hard workouts in. Fully equipped. So glad I found it :)”

“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.”

“Real Fitness has 100% improved my life. I came here a couple years ago and trained with Peter who is THE MAN. I wasn’t consistent and a couple years goes by and I ended up getting “runners knee” and my physical therapist couldn’t get me in for over a month. I reached out to Peter and he got me in the gym immediately and started building back my muscle in my knee injury with me. Best decision I could have made. I’ve been going back for 3 weeks and I’m not in any pain and already feel stronger after ONLY 3 weeks. This gym and all of the trainers are amazing and I couldn’t be happier with my results. If you want the opportunity to make changes in your life real fitness is the place to go! They will work with you on pricing and that’s all anyone can ask! This is the gym to go to!!”

“So I’ve been going to Stretch Lab for a couple years off and I just recently moved to Woodland Hills area and I was needing a good stretch just the call when booking with Asia was so lovely she was so professional and very understanding of my restrictions. I went in it was very clean and my Flexologist Sutton was so amazing to work with we did the MAPS test first and then got into the stretch he kept checking in since I’m dealing with a injury and I woke up feeling like a million dollars thank you Woodland Hills Stretch Lab!”

“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 visiting from out of town, the check in process was easy; Patty at the front desk was very helpful and accommodating. This is a great location and with amazing staff. I took the Hyrox prep class with Allyson, she did a great job of explaining Hyrox and how OT helps with the prep up for the full course. I would recommend.

Note: At this location you should bring your own towel otherwise you have to pay to rent one.”

“Morgan is a super cool, high energy, knowledgeable and fun instructor. Other male instructor I can’t remember the name of was as well. Their machines are superior than other places I’ve been on Classpass. Definitely more challenging and effective.”

“Just took my first class here and loved it! I've been searching for CrossFit gyms all over the valley, and though this is primarily a weightlifting gym, they have full body workouts as well. Great neighborhood, easy parking, and lovely instructors. I signed up to become a regular member!”

“Just went this morning, the place was still as nostalgic as ever, with excellent front desk service. I arrived around 5:30 AM, and it was perfect, not crowded very spread out. The perfect place and time.”

“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!”

“Mikey teaches thoughtful, thought-out, inspiring flows mixing traditional with new. His classes are challenging and fun, mindful and creative. I've tried vinyasa flow classes with multiple instructors at this studio and Mikey's classes are the most satisfying. A++ to Mikey! Thank you.”

“Excellent gym with plenty of equipment and space, even on a Monday at 6PM. Shout out to Raymond for the coaching, there were a couple of beginners (myself included), and he walked us through every move, providing alternatives for more difficult lifts. Would highly recommend for anyone who just wants to try out CrossFit for the first time.”

“I have had the pleasure of working with Tiger for several months and I highly recommend him! He has helped me to quickly progress towards my goals of adding muscle, building strength, and losing body fat.

I came across The Fix while looking for personal trainers who offered customization and flexibility. Over the past several years I have traveled regularly for work, and I struggled to stay consistent with training and following a meal plan. While these things are still challenges, having the ability to train virtually has made a huge difference in my results. I also find the weekly Styku scan motivates me to stay on track with my macros and to not obsess over the scale.

Tiger is talented, knowledgeable, patient, kind, and funny. I look forward to our workouts and enjoy training with him.”

“Great gyms throughout the South Bay. Coach Jason has built an amazing team and a great gym system. Easy to schedule and work out with small groups to make it easy to do your routine. A great find 5 years ago and it’s only gotten better.”

“Training mate is how all businesses should be run. Completely customer focused. Community vibes. Fun atmosphere always. Always professional. I always feel VIP when I attend.”

“It wasn’t until becoming a member at Basecamp that I felt a true sense of community and belonging in Santa Monica. A friend brought me to my first class about 2.5 years ago — the coaches, studio managers and friends in class keep me coming back every day!”

“Really just love the energy here. I signed up for the two month challenge that comes with gloves, heart monitor, full body scan, and talks about goals, fitness, and nutrition. It’s been great! The people are all so warm and inviting and helpful! And the family that runs is all of those adjectives as well! The instructors are all awesome and have their own special energies as well. They’ll support you when you need support and will push you when you need to be pushed. The variety of classes is also great. I joined for the boxing because I love to kick and punch so when I was told the circuit and lifting classes would be great support to the boxing I was hesitant but now I find myself really looking forward to the circuit and lifting classes as well! There’s variety within the variety of classes as well so it’s really hard to get bored. I just really love it here and look forward to more and more time here.”
