“F45 is the best! Not only is it a quick, amazing workout but there’s a tremendous community of people involved that truly feel like a second family. Not just the other participants but the trainers as well. Special shout out to Malikah! She will get the most out of you while staying so positive and upbeat. Cant recommend this place enough”

“I was visiting from Germany and my brother recommended this place. Super friendly staff and training partners. I had a blast and can definitely recommend it. Thnx to Kim for the support. ;)”

“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.”

So thrilled to be back at AMP Association after taking a year off, and WOW – the upgrade was so worth the wait! The new facility is a total game-changer, and it’s clear that AMP has taken things to the next level. From the moment I stepped back in, it felt like I was walking into a whole new world of fitness.

First off, the training here is still as intense and effective as ever. The coaches are super knowledgeable and genuinely invested in helping you reach your goals. It’s the perfect balance of challenging workouts and a supportive community vibe. No matter your level, you’ll feel pushed to be your best without feeling out of place.

The new amenities are what really make the experience shine. There’s now a 7evesea Coffee Co. right inside the gym, which is a total perk for that pre- or post-workout caffeine boost. And let me tell you – the showers are amazing! They’re spotless, spacious, and stocked with everything you need to freshen up after a tough workout, which is such a luxury for a CrossFit gym.

Whether you're a hardcore CrossFit fan or new to the community, AMP Association is the place to be. The new space, the amenities, and the passion from the coaches make this gym a gem in LA. So glad to be back, and can’t recommend it enough to anyone looking for a place to really elevate their fitness game! ??”

“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!”

“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 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.”

“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’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 fell in love with weight lifting at Iron Method because of the structured exercises and consistency of training in every class. My favorite is Carolyn because she makes the classes so entertaining with her crazy energy that never seems to exhaust her. I love how she motivates by pushing my limits but never puts me down if I choose to take it easy. We all get a personal training in a class setting environment and don't pay an arm and a leg for it. All the Instructors are pretty amazing though with their unique training methods. I am very grateful to be part of the Iron Method community:)”

“Coach Mike at CrossFit Dark Horse has built something truly special in our community. It’s more than just a place to work out—it’s a welcoming space where consistency, encouragement, and growth come together. Coach Mike has created an environment where people of all fitness levels feel supported, making it easier to build a strong foundation for long-term health and well-being.

What really stands out is the consistency he emphasizes—not just in workouts, but in building healthy habits that carry into everyday life. You don’t just leave with a great workout, you leave with confidence, accountability, and a true sense of belonging.

Coach Mike’s commitment to both fitness and community is unmatched. If you’re looking for more than just a gym, but a place to grow stronger physically and mentally while being part of something positive, CrossFit Dark Horse is the place.”

“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!”

“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!”

“So glad that my wife Pippa and I found Allegiate. It has been a godsend since moving to Santa Monica. The quality of instruction, attention to detail, intentionality and the programming are all markers of an elite business. So glad that this place exists and grateful to everyone that makes it excellent.”

“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!”

“New Ground Coaches are one of a kind. I've had the opportunity to watch my boys grow in their skill set and build tremendous character. Both boys continue training weekly and are actively competition in jj completions. Big shout out to New Ground!”

“This long overdue. I joined Strive Fitness in March of 2023. It was such a great experience and I liked it so much that I signed up by the end of my first training. All the workouts are well planned whether you're trying to lose fat, gain muscle or just maintain weight, you're guaranteed to see results. The staff, Matt, Nick, Geraldine, Devan, Nikki & AJ are all amazing and extremely supportive. There is a sense of community between the members and staff; everyone is courteous, respectful and supportive to one another. I highly recommend everyone to try it out, it's free! Contact them for a FREE 3-day pass.”

“I've really enjoyed my experience so far training at 4 Star Gym. Coming from gyms where I felt overwhelmed by the size and crowds, 4 Star provides a more personal environment that has allowed me to focus fully on my workouts without distractions or intimidation.What I appreciate most is the structured programming - having my sessions planned out ahead of time takes the guesswork out of workouts for me. Crossing items off the checklist as I complete them makes workouts more interactive and fun. My trainer has also done an excellent job breaking down exercises to ensure I have the form down before progressing.The small class sizes mean I receive individualized attention to learn proper form. I've been able to ease into training at a comfortable pace through the bootcamp format. Already I'm seeing improvements in my strength, and I'm looking forward to our upcoming testing day to quantify my progress so far. Overall, 4 Star has provided a supportive experience that has helped develop sustainable fitness habits for me.”

“F45 does all the small things right to make for, in my opinion, by far the best pre-programmed gym experience in Culver City. Here are some things I appreciated:-indoor and outdoor workout options-excellent music (mix moves smoothly, good BPM but varies, not just hard rap or electropop)-well balanced workouts with GOOD explanations-earplugs and other sensory aids easily available- encouraging and kind coaches who actually bother to gently correct form and push you to finish a set (not always a guarantee when the workouts are on screen and pre-timed)- optional perks like ice baths, live DJ, social activities if you want to make friends at the gym-lots of towels and showers- super kind culture !! everyone I met was so pleasant and nice!10/10 job for storm & the other trainer for the foxtrot class!”

“Alex was AMAZING! High energy, great music, fun personality. He made my first Barrys class so much more enjoyable. I appreciated how friendly and non-intimidating he was, it made the class that much more fun. I will definitely be back to take another one of his classes!”

“'m 61 years old, and before I started training at The Compound, my physical activity was limited to 90-minutes of tennis once a week. After just three months of training with Paul twice a week (and once a week on my own), I'm down 12 pounds and seeing actual muscle tone--six-pack, here I come. How? Paul has developed a routine for me that includes cardio warm-ups, bodyweight exercises, core workouts, and weight training, all complemented by his helpful diet advice. Not only do I feel fitter and stronger, but my tennis game has also improved--I can hit harder and play longer without getting winded. Paul's guidance has been a game changer, and I'm excited to keep training with him. Side note: The Compound has the coldest bottled water in town. Highly recommend!”

“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!”

“This place is a game changer. Approx 2 years ago, I moved to LA from NYC and looking to get in shape. I'm in my mid-40s and wasn't sure what was the best place for me. Luckily TrainingMate came along and not only am I in the best shape of my life, but I found a community of lovely humans (both trainers and fellow mates.) I am certain if you come to a class with an open heart and willingness to meet new people (and sweat) you'll be hooked!”

“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.”

“I can’t say enough good things about MAmma! Since joining, I’ve lost weight and improved my fitness. The trainers are incredibly knowledgeable and supportive, creating a welcoming and motivating atmosphere for everyone, regardless of skill level. The community of people at MAmma is kind and supportive, making every visit enjoyable and encouraging. Each session is challenging yet rewarding, and I always leave feeling stronger and more empowered. If you’re looking to improve your fitness and boost your self-esteem, MAmma is the place to be. Highly recommended!”

“I've been going here a lot over the past year and there are many reasons for it: the workout always challenges me and the trainers also know how to push us, they give individualized attention while looking out for the whole group, everyone is so friendly and kind, even when the workouts are tough (particularly on wednesdays and sundays) they will still make you laugh and motivate you to push til the end. Training Mate is great for physical health and because its so fun and welcoming, its great for mental health too! No one at this gym is pretentious and everyone is cheering one another on - at every level. From the front desk staff to the trainers, literally any and every day of the week. Pro tip: If you like less busy then come at 8am or 9:30. If you want slightly less intensity come in the evenings.”

“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 had a great first session with Jason. The workout pushed me and left me excited to continue working with him. He is fun, full of energy and watches your form like a hawk.”

“Best gym in LA! I’ve been a member for 6 years and love the workouts and the community. Everyone is super friendly and supportive and I have made a ton of friends since joining. They also allow open gym which I love so I can train whenever I want.”
