“ACF is truly a great gym. Good people, great coaches. An encouraging and diverse community. All of the workouts can be modified and no one makes you feel bad for doing so. The coaches leading the classes will work with you on anything and in the end leave you feeling great and accomplished.“
“Wow! Who would have thought 20-30 minutes would give me the results I wanted AND needed?!! I've worked with two of their trainers, and they were fabulous. This gym is unlike any other. For my workout, I was the only one there--that's how they do it. It makes it such a personally tailored experience. They have a secret sauce that has changed every strength-training workout since. Oh, and by the way, I'm over 65 years old, and this is the best shape I've in been in, well, let's say, decades. Don't hesitate, go!!! (you can find this review in Yelp, as well)“
“I have been going here for years and years and it is absolutely the best gym I've ever been to, the best gym in the valley, and perhaps the best gym in Los Angeles! I work with Haley Kahn, who is an absolutely phenomenal trainer and human being, but I can attest that everyone affiliated with this studio is excellent. So, don't wait another second! Contact Haley and contact this gym, and start going. You won't regret it! Hi Andy! Bye Andy!“
“My best friend and I trained with Eric a few months before my wedding. From the day we began working him, I knew we were in good hands. He was simply the best. Patient, challenging, knowledgeable, and energetic! He took time to understand our individual needs and customized our workouts. Eric's positive attitude and genuine passion for helping others shine through in everything he does, creating a supportive environment where I felt empowered to challenge myself and grow. Thanks to Eric, I felt more comfortable in my dress the day of my wedding :)“
“Lifestyles for Health Physical Therapy - Cindy's clinic, gave me the comfort and mobility that I was very fearful of not having after a trip and fall injury to my arm. My therapist, Shiva, made the entire process so much more comforting and welcoming. She made sure that in all aspects of recovery, I was secured. Each exercise was explained, and most importantly, she made sure to ask how I felt before and after the treatments. You would never leave your appointment without feeling better.“
“1 month into my membership at this boutique private training facility on Melrose. My experience has been 5* from the moment i walked in. Friendly, professional, well-organized and welcoming.No matter what your fitness level (mine is at 'Sloth' but slowly improving) their methodology is a good fit for all. If you're a time-poor professional like me, the focused high intensity 30 min workouts are a great option.All of the trainers are genuinely great to work out with and push you just hard to enough to ensure progress without wanting to quit... though you may occasionally want to curse at them!Wayne and Stephen, the owners, run a really tight ship, the facility is always meticulously clean and their custom app makes it incredibly easy to book workouts.They also have physical therapist available to help with rehab, mobility and functional wellness. Garrett is incredibly knowledgeable and his treatments are already helping my broken 50 year-old body to improve and heal!Really can't rate this place highly enough - if you're looking for a friendly, inclusive and professional place to start or continue your fitness journey, this is for you.“
“I had my doubts given I have tried to get in shape and lose weight before but it has been worth it all! I have struggled with weight and not seeing the results I wanted. I am a life long endurance athlete as well as a Ironman. These folks know what they are doing and are very knowledgeable. With Stark I am seeing results very quickly! They provide a full fitness package and it is incredible and fun!“
“I came to Elevate after a major skiing accident with multiple complicated fractures in my leg. The care and incredible therapy I have received and worked on over the last year with Dr Kyle and the other therapists at Elevate have been incredibly life saving to me. The care is personalized. One on one with your Doctor of PT. My recovery would never have come along this far after a year without the professionalism and incredible therapy- which required hard work- without Elevate. I am a former marathon runner and athlete so it was very important to me to work hard with the best after a freak ski accident. Elevate has been a major factor in my recovery and I am so thankful for their amazing positive support and pushing me to get back to the best I can be.“
“Getting fit is about leading a life of full potential. The Coaches at F45 will take you to the next level of fitness. All you have to do is show up, and they will help you do the rest. F45 has been the only gym and workout program that I have stuck with in a long while- the coaches bring the perfect recipe of energy, motivation and encouragement to every single session. I personally love Coach Jessie Rizzo. He's an absolute Legend. Thanks Jessie and team! I absolutely would not have gotten in the best shape of my life....without you!“
“Awesome clean facility located near Hollywood! They also have free secured parking, which is hard to find in the area.This place has infrared sauna, personal training, chiropractors, massage therapist, and many other modalities. You really don’t need to go anywhere else to upgrade your health!“
“It was my first time doing pilates, and I couldn't have asked for a better experience with Ashlee at PWA! I did 8 solo sessions and Ashlee is fantastic. Each session was well-structured and I can already feel that my body has developed the core strength I've been lacking. She's super encouraging and very down to earth so every session was something to look forward to. I highly recommend Ashlee because she's top-notch! I'm so glad I found her.“
“This gym is absolutely amazing! The trainers are really welcoming and guide you through the entire circuit. I love the fact that we get boxing and kickboxing pad work. The trainers really try to teach you the fundamentals so that you know what you’re doing. I love that the this gym is really clean and the bathroom amenities is a plus! Love the community atmosphere, everyone including members are really friendly. I highly recommend this gym if you’re looking for a full body workout that is fun and engaging. Absolutely amazing and the owners are wonderful.“
“The most beautiful functional fitness / Crossfit Gym in Los Angeles. The staff here is the best of the best! Most are still or have competed in the past. The level of expertise is second to none. There are many options to train from specialty courses to a wide variety of class times. The members are super passionate which makes it the most fun of experiences!“
“I love Nikki, she is the best! The facility is clean and all staff members are welcoming.“
“Training with Angelina has been incredibly rewarding. I've learned a lot from her, and I truly enjoy training hard and seeing my strength improve. My husband and colleagues have noticed significant progress in my body shape; I've lost several inches from my waistline and am even considering entering a bikini competition. I couldn't have achieved this without the support and guidance of both Angelina and Ray. I am truly grateful for their help and highly recommend their training.“
“Just completed my first training cycle at Sparta and am the strongest I have ever felt. This is a safe environment to learn how to properly weight train, mixed with Olympic lifting. Everyone attending the classes are welcoming and supportive!“
“I love PLATEFIT! Started more than 6 months ago and still enjoying it. Each class is super challenging and fun, I see real results mainly feel much stronger.“
“I love the variety of group training classes offered here, from high-intensity interval training to yoga, there's something for everyone. It's great to have such a convenient workout class near me.“
“Wonderful and detailed teacher! She's patient, nice and gives you a killer workout. Highly recommend!“
“I've been going to BFT Santa Monica for ~3.5 years and have nothing but great things to say. The programming is fun, constantly changing, and a great combination of lifting, cardio, and agility. The community / trainers are awesome, supportive, and engaging. The results speak for themselves - I'm in some of the best shape of my life and never thought I would look forward to the gym (yes, even cardio days) as much as I do now! Thanks BFT for being such a positive force and changing my body, mind, and life!“
“Awesome experience! I have been training with Adel for about 2 months and I am seeing a lot of results, he’s very focused on core and functional exercises.“
“Shevi is a true healer (and one of the most amazing people). For me this has been life changing. Shevi gets to the root of what's causing the issues in your body (working a lot with the fascia), she also helps heal and strengthen every aspect of your body. What I wasn't expecting was the emotional release that comes in each session, we hold trauma and emotions in our fascia and so of course working with it acts as a major release. Shevi teaches you what to do on your own to continue the strengthening at home and deepening the transformation. I can't tell you the difference I have seen in every part of my body. I broke my foot and came to Shevi for rehab and for other issues in my body and it's been incredible. My fiancé also sees her now and it has changed his body immensely. He's an athlete and had multiple issues that weren't healing until Shevi began working her magic. His fascia was very tight (we could hear it popping as she worked on him) and his results have been miraculous. This is great for anyone who is an athlete, physically active or who needs physical rehab, this is your place. You won't stop coming once you start.“
“Don't bother going anywhere else. This is the BEST place for Physical Therapy. From therapists to office staff, they give the highest level of professional, personal and effective care. The environment is upbeat and friendly. I recently had shoulder surgery; my team in the Glendale center, headed up by the amazing Armand, DPT. with Josue and Hunter assisting was the highest quality. My team was incredibly knowledgable, encouraging, and supportive, and healed me in record time. Unlike some other companies, at Aspire your PT is responsible for your case from start to finish; they are there with you hands-on every session. Elizabeth in the office is quickly available to handle scheduling issues and fantastic at fitting everyone in, which is a really big deal when you're hurting and needing care. Also, Aspire has several venues.... our son went to the LaCanada office after knee surgery; their hands-on manipulation, exercises and guidance made a difference with each session. Honestly, we've been given referrals to other PT companies because they are "in-system". We give them a try but after 2 or 3 sessions of big-medicine, impersonal factory treatment, where we leave the office hurting as much as when we went in, we're back at Aspire for their personal, knowledgable and professional care. Simply the best.“
“This review is a long time coming. I've very picky about which gyms to join because of the bro-like, hypermasculine atmosphere that can make a female feel uncomfortable. This gym is not that. JP, the owner, is really one of a kind. He is genuine, affirming, knowledgeable, and is truly a master coach. He sees everyone as an athlete, and sincerely wants you to just do and be your best (which is what Ganbatte actually means). I've never met a business owner/coach as authentic and caring as he is, and he never pressures you or makes you feel like you're not doing enough. The other coaches are just as awesome. Another cornerstone of a great gym is also an emphasis on form to prevent injury. The Ganbatte coaches will spend time giving you feedback. Lastly, the community that Ganbatte cultivates here is unmatched. You will always feel welcomed and included. Definitely try them out, you'll probably end up staying a few years because of how amazing everyone is.“
“I have been training with Emily, an amazing personal trainer, for 6 months. She's not only incredibly knowledgeable but also super kind-hearted. Emily's customized workouts and genuine care have made a huge impact on my progress. Her positivity and support create a motivating environment. With Emily, I've gained confidence and achieved fitness goals I never thought possible. She's not just a trainer, but an inspiration.“
“I absolutely love this place! 10/10 would recommend to anyone interested in trying out boxing for the first or if you are looking to actually improve your boxing skills. The staff and coaches are so welcoming and you really feel the sense of community here! They really push you to be the best version of your self. Since I have a stressful job, this place really helps me decompress! And I’m actually noticing my boxing skills are progressing ??? So if you’re on the fence about trying out boxing, let this serve as a sign… try out Prevail Noho!“
“Presto is truly amazing! He is very knowledgeable and flexible in designing the program that works for you. I have a long history of knee pain with exercise, and he helped me to reach all my goals and more without any pain. I am forever grateful to have worked with him, and I'm more motivated than ever to keep getting stronger.“
