    In Wednesdays we wear pink...
    Arleene M.

    I've been waiting for my one month anniversary to write a review because I want to be sure I am in love with this place and not just in lust (yes, I fall in love easily, don't judge me.) One day, I was perusing Yelp and decided that my fat ass needed to work out because....well, it's fat. I was looking for Zumba classes in my area not necessarily because I like Zumba (I actually kind of hate it) but thought if I was going to die while doing any type of cardio, I may as well be dancing. And that's how I found this place. I've never seen this location so one day, YOLO status, my sister and I went looking for it. It's located on the second floor of another business so you have to drive kinda slow the first time. Thanks to my GPS we found the place no prob, and they have a several signs outside so you know what's up. Already, it felt exclusive. My type of place. We walked in and Eric, the owner was finishing up a session with a client. The gym i is on the smaller side but it has everything it needs. It's clean and very modern looking. After he finished his session, Eric talked about how they work. They specialize in small group classes and (I am not sure if I should write this because I am not sure if they do this for everyone that walks through those doors but whateve's) he offered to give us 3 classes free of charge to see if we liked it. He had a Cross Training class that afternoon and told us to come back and gave us a sheet so we could write what we ate on a daily base. Shit. I hate regular gyms, with their long ass lines to wait for the cardio machines, to the meat heads hogging the weights, to the girls in full makeup and tiny workout clothes just strolling around trying to catch their meal ticket for the weekend. When I go to a gym, I want to workout. Period. When we got there that evening, I was pleasantly surprise to see there were only 3 of us in the class. There was another class going on at the other side of the gym but it was small as well. The reason for this is that there is a cap to their classes to keep them small and personal. You sign up a day or even a few hours before the class (granted it's still open) and you can do it right from an app on your phone. Hell yea! We were assessed and then were put to work. We did circuits which were challenging but didn't kill you. Eric makes sure to modify a move if you can't do the original one to avoid injury. I don't even know how I made it through that class but I did and as much as I hated it while I was doing it, I freaken loved it! He also went over our eating log (which was CRAP) and made suggestions on how to clean up our act. I keep going to this class and I added Cardio Step with Sandy (who I love, she is so sweet!) which has step but she makes us do resistance training as well. There are no membership fees, you pay for the classes you want to go to and can buy them in bundles or pay to go unlimited times to the gym. Yes, it's not $39.99 like it is at 24 Hour Fitness or LA Fitness, but it's like getting a personal trainer that you share with a few other people. There is a sense of camaraderie from all the gym-goers and they make sure to make you feel welcomed at all time (half-dying with people for an hour makes you feel closer to them for some reason. And endorphin's are abundant! Lol!) I am not sure if I have lost weight because I was told a woman shouldn't weigh herself before, during, or after her cycle which leaves no days to weigh in, but I feel my clothes looser AND everyone around me keeps telling me I look good. And I like to believe them. I am not 100% on my eating but I am at 80% which is a vast improvement then when I started. If you are in the area and want to be my workout buddy, by all means, JOIN!

    Here's my 8 week update I can't believe this is me !!! I'll be entering my first bikini competition thanks to Eric & Nargiz and can't wait to continue my fitness journey with them!

    Love our step class with Sandy the BEST trainer ever.
    Veronica M.

    Back 2 Basics is the best gym in town. All the trainers are amazing! They make you feel very comfortable and are always happy to see us. Sandy has been my trainer for years and she is awesome. I most definitely recommend back 2 Basics, the owners Eric and Nargiz make it feel like family. Love it

    Checking to my favorite private gym before I sign in to my 1 hour strength training class. So far I've lost 20lbs in a little over 2 months! The trainers are knowledgeable and encouraging and I look forward to coming here and reaching those weight loss goals!

    Our daughter Camila spent a year training at NXTLVL Sport and Fitness and loved every second of it!…read moreThe program made a huge difference in her flag football and soccer skills--her speed, agility, and confidence have grown tremendously. Her favorite coach was Brody, but she also loved training with Coach Sam, Devonte, Joe, and Mike. Each coach pushed her to improve while keeping every session fun and encouraging. Camila had to take a short break because of her busy schedule now that flag football season has started, but she's so excited to put everything she learned at NXTLVL into action with her new club team. Thank you to the entire NXTLVL team for all your support and for creating such a positive, motivating environment for young athletes!

    NXTLVL Gym in La Habra was an awesome place for our team to train leading up to the season. We…read morespent a few months here and it made a real difference. The space is clean, well run, and set up perfectly for youth training. What stood out most was the environment. It's competitive but still positive, and the kids were always excited to be there. The trainers do a great job keeping things organized while pushing players to work hard and improve. You can tell they care about development, not just running kids through drills. If you're looking for a gym where players can get better, build confidence, and enjoy the process, NXTLVL is a great choice. We're glad we trained here and would absolutely recommend it to other families and teams. We are MOST DEFINITELY coming back in the offseason.

    I've been a member since 2023. If you're reading OTF reviews you're probably considering joining…read moreand contemplating various fitness formats/gyms etc. You've probably viewed some YouTube videos on how the classes work but essentially at this location you have the following formats - 2G, 3G, Tread 50, Strength 50, and I believe like a lot of OTFs trialing Hyrox format. How it works is you sign up for class on their app. Show up. Eat a bunch of free mints. select a station # on the treadmill or rower (2G) or treadmill or rower or weight floor (3G). If you're in a 2G class you're on treadmill for 23 minutes and weights 23 minutes. If you're in a 3G class you're on treadmill for 14 mins, rower 14 mins, and weights 14 mins. Tread 50 you're on the treadmill whole class (approx 40 mins) Strength 50 you're on the weight floor (approx 40 mins) the whole class. The coaches are there to direct the flow and keep you motivated throughout. Everything is tailored to your abilities and injuries. You can walk, jog, run, haul ass on the treadmills. It is a workout for all ages and abilities. Everyone is kind and welcoming from the members to the coaches. I think the most difficult thing will be taking the first step to give it a shot and then to come back. But if you're reading this then you've made the first step in wanting to change some aspect of your life. Now what you need to do is take the free intro class to get a sense of the place. But 1 class is unlikely to give you the full picture of what OTF can become for you. You need to come back and take those baby steps towards changing your habits. It's never easy starting a new thing. But you need to just show up. Even if you just walk on the treadmills or row casually or do body weight training - just show up. Commit to it. Give it a month before you decide. That's the hardest part. Stop making excuses or pushing it off. You have 1 body and 1 life to live so make it the best life. Ignore the naysayers the negativity and take a step towards change. Don't live with regrets and don't let life pass you by. Shout out to the very sweet, kind, and most important fun OTF crew: Hitch,Rocco, Sarah, Meg, Ray, Hannah, Tiffany, Sareena, Carson, Dakota, Alyssa, Alexa, Kamila,Savanah, Jake, Maddy. Most importantly don't forget to eat the free mints.

    I've been coming to OTF La Habra for about 4 years now. It's a great workout and everyone is so…read moreencouraging and nice! I feel great after an Orangetheory workout! The front desk staff (Danielle, Sarah, Sareena, Dakota, etc.) are always so welcoming and friendly! Great place to workout!

    My husband and I love to eat and try out restaurants (as evidenced by my other Yelp reviews,…read morehaha)... so we need to workout for some sort of balance. We used to go to the Fit Body Boot Camp in Cypress years ago, but eventually stopped when we moved. We used to run marathons/half marathons, but then the pandemic happened. We do have gym memberships but we don't really go. We haven't worked out in awhile... starting all over again is difficult, but we did like our previous experience with the boot camp so we were glad to find one close by. We are now around 30+ sessions in. The workouts are no joke, they are super challenging, and we feel so tired once they're done, but we never regret doing it afterwards. Basically a love-hate relationship: we love that we're feeling healthier and (a little) stronger every week, but we hate how hard the workouts are, haha. Coach Chandy and Coach Sam are amazing, they are soo nice and friendly, always having encouraging words for us and are super motivating. To be honest, there are some days when it feels really tough to get out of the house to go workout, but having the coaches push us and guide us helps. Especially for newbies like us! Highly recommend giving this boot camp a try! "DON'T QUIT!"

    I was with United Fitness when the business was in La Habra. I was with them for around 2.5 years…read moresince 2016. So I know what it was like before Covid and after Covid. I'll tell you about both. I want to note that I never did the 6-week weight loss program they offer every month to new clients. I just came to do the group workout classes for $60/month. I thought the group classes were very good. Each exercises were 1 minute each and you rotate to do another different exercises. It varies from day to day. Most days, the days program includes some resistance and some cardio. Some equipment used are dumbbells, stationary bikes, stairs, rowing, sliders, punching bags, resistance push/pull boxes, ab roller, slam balls, bosu balls, battle ropes, TRX ropes and more. Everyday are different exercises, which I like. Each round, you have 4-5 exercise stations and 3 rounds, which makes it 50 minute of intense workout. I always sweat! The workout is pretty intense. Since being a member, I felt like I gained muscle and my weights has increased since I started. My muscles are often sore after exercising. I loved how Coaches really push/encourage me to con't exercising. They provide free heart monitoring. Free of charge if you're a member. It gives how much calories you burned during the class and who is in the red, yellow, green, or blue zone. The place has A/C when it's hot or in the summer time. It's so nice since, I'm dripping in sweat every class. They used to provide towels for us, but now they don't, we need to bring our own towels. I like that when we do floor stuff, they have black cushion pads for my knees to rest on preventing my knees from touching the hard floor. Depending on the coaches, each coach has their own genre of music they like to play. The music is super loud depending on where station in the room. It's really loud when you stand near the very left of the room (near the restroom). It hurts my ears! There is water fountain and restrooms for male and female. However, they do not have showers. Also, there are no paper towels to dry your hands after washing. They have specific times when class starts and stops. I recommend to check their website online to know what times classes start. Multiple times I've driven there and find out that they are closed for that day. They don't have any reference on their website or their Facebook page that specific day being closed. The only thing is that you'll drive there and realize it. The don't notify when they don't have classes. It's a waste of gas, but more importantly the time to drive there. Plus, no one answers the phone. I don't know why they have a phone number if hardly anyone one answers it. If you want to call, your best bet is to call after 3pm, that's when there is 1 person in front of the gym checking people in. During Covid, I came back after months of not coming to United Fitness because of being precautious of covid and wanted to stay at home, it was easy to come back. They did not enforce wearing a masks doing into the gym or during the class. The thing I noticed was that some coaches try to social distance esp with stationary bikes, stairs, and row boat being so close to one another. I like that some coaches did that. But, I think that all coaches should put people every other seat so at least we are distanced with each person. I think they should limit how many people come to class too, so we can do social distancing for the rowers, bikes, and stair climbers. When coaches don't say anything, people will be next to each other without masks. I felt that is so dangerous of NOT ENFORCING Social Distancing ...they should maybe do every other person on the bike, rowers, and stairs. During Covid, they did not enforce how many people are in a class. When it was beginning of Covid, they had sign-up sheets to enforce how many people can come to the class. But they got rid of that and just allowed anyone and however many people to come to class. During Covid,some classes, esp the night ones were packed with people. They don't limit how many people come to class. Therefore, not social distancing on at each station. They do ask everyone to wipe/disinfect using spray bottles and paper towels. The spray bottles were community use. However, restrooms still don't have paper towels for people after washing hands. Like: --class exercises --coaches pushes me to keep going --coaches demonstrating the exercises before us starting --easiness of stopping and starting membership --free to use weighing scale with fat % & muscle % Dislike: --not enforcing social distancing, esp with bikes, rowers, and stairs machines being so close to one another --people not wiping their sweat from their stations....so gross and coaches not enforcing the wipe down between stations --not knowing which days are open and which are closed --no one answering their phone calls --super loudness of their speakers that you can't hear the coach

They help you…read morefind your own pace and work out safely while still challenging you and helping you build strength and confidence.

Hannah is a boss! She holds you accountable to your plan and is very reachable for questions and follows up! I need the motivation to get to the gym and they all definitely provide that! The gym is clean and the equipment is in good shape and readily available. I love United Fitness!! Thank you all and I'm looking forward to many more fun workouts and dropping another 50 lbs!
