I've been a member of this and predecessor gyms since 2006. At any fitness level, you are going to be happy here. Honestly, you just need to show up with a great attitude, and you will meet people and have fun ... and, hey, along the way, your fitness will improve significantly. I can't recommend it enough ...

The Last Gym I will Ever Go To. This place is the gym I have been looking for. The coaches are great and they all know their stuff. The owners are very personable and they put their heart into the community. This place doesn't have the "meatball" vibe. It is suitable for people of any level. It is really a gem of a gym. (Sorry for the re-post. My first review got deleted by accident. But I love this place so much I am happy to leave another review.) Give this place a shot. You wont regret it.

This a a terrific community with top notch coaches. I have been a member since 2009. It has kept me fit, happy and sane. Some of my best friendships have come out of CFLA Oak Park because it is just not a place to do tough things together, it's a place to have a community. And there are so many classes to choose from - CrossFit, Gymnastics, Kettle Bell, Mobility, Breath work, Sauna and Ice baths, Barbells and Bodybuilding, Olympic Weightlifting, etc. Their coaching and classes have allowed me to continue to grow, avoid injury and excel in my outside sports as well - mountain biking, triathlons, snowboarding, etc. Plus it's super cool to have Olympians training here.

As a member of OakPark for over 4 years, I have had tremendous growth, both physical and mental.The coaches at Oak Park are extremely competent in their coaching abilities and have a broad knowledge in multiple areas. I love the specialty classes such as Performance breathing, Gymnastics, mobility Olympic weightlifting, swim clinics just to name a few. The coaches show up and help us members (athletes) connect with each other and the community.I feel that Oak Park is a place where I can connect, play and grow. I’ve found a place where I belong.

Oak Park is one of a kind. Much more than a CrossFit training facility, it provides the keys to growth and development that one looks for in their fitness journey. Through consistent and sustainable practice, you'll become stronger, smarter, and more intentional in your workouts. The coaches are incredibly knowledgeable and professional, taking pride in what they do and delivering results. They really care. It's a community rooted in human connection and it succeeds on every level.

Oak Park changed my life. I've been a gym rat my entire adulthood and I had never experienced the kind of focus, care, intention, and growth the classes and coaches there are committed to for every member. My fitness has grown exponentially since I joined, and I've become an all around healthier happier person.

No matter where you are at in your fitness journey — just starting out or literally an Olympian — you will grow and learn from the coaches here. It’s a remarkable community with some of the most talented coaches you can find anywhere. Everyone checks their ego at the door. If you are committed to growing and learning, you will benefit from the techniques and expertise of the exceptional staff. A real gym is not its equipment or its luxury soaps or its smoothie bar — a real gym is its coaches, and Oak Park has the best. I was a member for 8 growth-packed years. The only reason why I left was because I had to move out of state, and leaving the community at this gym was the hardest part of leaving LA.

I have been a member of Oak Park (and its predecessor CrossFit LA) since 2012. I have absolutely loved my time there - I keep coming back for the incredible workouts and coaching...but I stay because of the community. This community is like my second home and second family. The coaches truly care about my overall well being (physically and emotionally), I get world class instruction (I have learned to row, Olympic weight lifting, gymnastics among a myriad of other skills) in an environment that is safe and fun. The focus on functional health (including stretching and injury prevention) will help me stay fit and healthy for years to come. So grateful to be part of this incredible gym and its awesome community of like-minded individuals.

HIGHLY recommend Oak Park for anyone interested in stepping up their fitness game. Incredibly friendly and knowledgable staff all around who cultivate a fun and supportive environment to get into amazing shape. The idea of doing CrossFit can be intimidating at first, but the coaches work with everyone regardless of what level they’re at to make sure you’re comfortable and safe. Best fitness/gym experience I’ve ever had.

So 10 years ago I started on a journey. A journey to better myself. I weighed over 350 lbs. I tried all different types of gyms like 24hr fitness. You’d go in hard for a week or so and burn out. A friend of mine told me about CrossFit and what it was and how it works. Well 10 years later I have never been as strong. Not just physically but mentally as well. Oak Park does so many things. They are not just focused on the fire breathing aspect of what a lot of people perceived CrossFit to be. You have The obvious competition days where you wanted to just give it 110%. They also have practice days to hone your skills as well as mental toughness days. The mental days are some of my favorite days. At Oak Park it doesn’t matter what fitness level you are or how skinny, fat or ripped you are. The coaches are top notch and adjust the workouts to your athletic ability. They care about you. So if you made it this far reading my review. Give it a try. You don’t have anything to lose. I feel we are one big happy family and love new comers to add to the family list.

I can't say enough positive things about my experience at Oak Park. My husband and I are both members and it’s a time for us to bond and become better and stronger parents for our two kids. As a busy mom, finding time for self-care can be challenging, but this gym has truly been a game-changer for my mental and physical well-being.First and foremost, the coaches are simply outstanding. They are dedicated to helping each member reach their fitness goals no matter the fitness levels. Oak Park provides a family-friendly and inclusive environment. It’s a positive and motivating atmosphere and the coaches makes every workout enjoyable and effective.One coach, in particular, Char, has made a significant impact on my postpartum journey. As a mom herself she personally understands my needs and tailors my private training sessions. Her expertise, encouragement, and unwavering support have been instrumental in my fitness transformation. She also coaches the Women’s Class which has been a game changer for my confidence. It’s like a bonus that I have a female and mom community that is empowering and supportive for the unique needs of women.

I was so scared to ever even walk by a CrossFit gym! Who knew I’d fall in love with all of it?! The people, the space, the trainers, the me I’m finding. Oak Park has filled my heart in ways I’d never imagined.

I have been a member at Oak Park for three and a half years and every time I am there I am so impressed by the quality of the coaching, the friendliness of the community and the cleanliness of the facility. Believe it or not, most Crossfit gyms I have been to are more like a dirty frat house than a luxury gym, but they all charge luxury gym prices. While Oak Park's membership is definitely on the higher side price wise, they provide coaches who COACH, work with the students in class individually and truly know all of us as people and athletes.Oak Park relocated to a smaller location in 2023 because the old location is slated for demolition. They've made the most of the space and it is always very well organized and cared for. They're making an effort to have more community-centered events to grow the camaraderie that we begin building in our classes and introducing more specialized classes too like a women's only class, kettlebell classes, breathwork and mobility, along with the regular Crossfit class they call "General Human Performance".It has been a pleasure spending many mornings a week with the fine coaches and my fellow students.
