What sets this place apart is the outdoor area in the back for ab work and stretching.

I joined Brick eight months ago and have seen great improvements. I've been part of many CrossFit gyms around the country and Brick is certainly one of the very best. The coaches actually coach, correct, instruct and encourage you. They even pointed out how poor my flexibility was and showed me stretches to do. My form is just as good if not better than it was during my peak CrossFit days. Working on strength and endurance still but having great time doing it. Highly recommend.

I've been attending the BX classes at Brick for about 5 years, it is my go-to HIIT style class…read more It's always challenging! The format changes on a daily basis, so it's never boring. The class is a combination of cardio (assault bikes, rowers, tru form treadmills) and strength exercises (TRX, dumbbells, TRX, body weight). If you like a fast paced workout that will always leave you drenched with sweat, you'll love the BX classes! However, I was inspired to write this review as a word of caution. This class is NOT for beginners! Of course everyone can go at their own speed, use light weights, etc.... but if you don't have at least basic knowledge of common movements and some prior cardio experience, this is going to be too much to just waltz into. I have personally witnessed someone inexperienced with this style of class come in for their first visit and have to leave halfway through the class because you really can't just jump right into something of this level. But if you walk in prepared and you know what you're getting into, you'll really enjoy yourself!

You know what really makes this gym amazing?! It's the teachers in it. I'm not necessarily a…read moreCrossfit freak. Although I have learned to love it. The reason I come is because of the community vibe that the teachers cultivate. Fun, collaborative, team-building! Derek, Peter, Johanna, Kelsea, Jeremy, ANDY... It's not so much the moves as it is the people. I can only hope that they are appreciated in ways that meet what they give! Because they are the reason I continue. If it weren't for them, I would be somewhere else and I know that holds true for others in the gym as well! Some of the best people in Los Angeles are teaching here. I hope that they are celebrated, seen, and heard! The best way to know what a business needs and how to make it keep thriving is by learning and listening to/from employees and clients. That's who's gonna set you up for success! And I have learned so much from these phenomenal teachers!! ‍

I went with friends to enjoy the pool at John Reed Fitness. It felt like we were walking into a day…read moreclub where you might find your next crush or some eclectic fit people. Or both. Th song Bourgeoisieses was playing in my head as I walked past the unnecessary thrones toward the women's locker room. If the air were perfumed, I might think we were in some outrageously curated corridor on our way to a Las Vegas buffet. The pool area itself was smaller than I expected but it was perfect for catching up, taking a dip in the water, and people watching. I think pool guests tend to self-select because they're already fit and have every reason to show off their abs. One guy was alternating between bicep curls (with 40lbs in each hand) and laying out for a tan. That extreme mix of work and relaxation is not my preference, but I'm not the boss of him! He looked great like everyone else. Before you get self-conscious, know that no-one is looking at you because they're too busy focusing on themselves. Catch those rays and get your splashes in. You'll waste your time worrying about body issues. If you have disposable income, consider a membership. It's expensive. If not, there are so many ways to get fit in SoCal. Just fyi: This review is based only on usage of the pool, locker room, and my experience at the front desk. I would have liked to join a class and also use the sauna/showers if we had more time. Also, feel free to look up online photos of the pool area. I didn't feel comfortable to include pool pics of people who didn't consent to having their images on my Yelp.

Upon walking in they have a long desk with what looks like a coffee or smoothie bar behind it and then a row of free towels on the end of the counter from which guests can choose. If you're visiting and not a member, you do have to fill out a liability/waiver form and then you walk down the hall to get to the gym. . The locker rooms are on the first floor, the men's LR is labeled, "John" & the women's is labeled, "Jane". The space is colorfully designed and has a sleek, curvature aesthetic. Picture arch entry ways, gold oval-shaped mirrors, plush throne chairs & neon decor lights. . There are several levels and the floral carpeted stairs lead to a lounge, a room with weights and exercise machines, and another long hall that will take you to the treadmills, ellipticals, and stairclimbers. The space is also pretty clean and they offer complimentary toiletries including lotion, shampoo, conditioner and shower gel. . The lockers come with dial locks, but they are tricky to use and no instructions on how to were posted. I kept mine unlocked and all of my belongings were present post workout. The greatest amenities live on the ground floor being the sauna, outdoor jacuzzi & pool. Although it was overcast today, I still got a good soak. . Right now, they are offering a promotion for two months free until February 12th. If you're in the abundant area of West Hollywood, be sure to check them out!

I almost don't want to recommend this place because I feel like I found a hidden gem, and in LA…read morehidden gems usually get flooded before long, but Lagree Undwrground deserves my 5 star rating. My philosophy is if you're going to work out for an hour you might as well get the most out of it as possible. I had been to a few different Pilates and Lagree classes before this, but one time here told me this is where I'd get the most out of my time. The class is incredibly challenging, but worthwhile. I've only taken class with Mikael and Noelle, and both were top-notch. I mostly try to go to Mikael's classes just because I like the teaching style. I have only ever experienced support and kindness from him, and I came in very unsure of what to do and felt floored after my first workout. I've been to maybe 25 workouts now at this studio and I'm confident in leaving this place an excellent review. It's clear a lot of time and effort was put into making this establishment not only great for workouts, but also an amazing aesthetic and an enjoyable place to be.

Tried Lagree underground today. Worst workout I've ever tried in LA. Mikael the proprietor is very…read moreinflexible. He won't allow walk ins or last minute signups. You MUST make an account online before your first class. You cannot sign up friends. You cannot walk in late to class. You cannot move your spot in the class. He assigns you wherever he likes it seems. Also there is no phone number for the studio and emails are returned to sender. I had never taken Lagree before, so the machine is quite foreign to me. He pointed at colored zones and wiggled handles. He said absolutely no modifying body positions. When the class started I was clearly struggling. His proprietary grip socks don't account for being on your toes so I slid off the machine. He didn't offer help or any guidance. Just told me to leave. Long story short avoid Mikael. Avoid Lagree underground unless you are already familiar with the gear the movements and the class unless you prefer a hostile trainer and no guidance. Long story long; I signed up well in advance of the class and wanted to bring a friend so I used a class pass to reserve a 2nd seat after his online system wouldn't allow me to log out or make her an account, emails were sent back undeliverable and there is no listed phone number. The morning of the class Mikael messages me from his private cell, and his first contact is to tell me he is cancelling the 2nd seat for the class. I ask him please not to and that we will happily pay additional fees and work it out when we arrive. He says no. Make a new account or no class. I tell him fine but this seems hostile and try AGAIN to make my friend an account which isn't possible btw. You cannot make a new account from a laptop only a phone and one account per phone. After much back and forth he sets up the account. I thought it was all a misunderstanding and try to move forward. We show up early to the class. Sign the waivers, buy socks and water (he kept my cc on file btw) he gives the most cursory gesturing explanation of the machines says the class 'moves fast' and is nothing like Pilates. Sets us up on machines in different rows on opposite sides of the room and walks away. The class starts and I am clearly struggling with the number/color ambiguous movement descriptions. He offers no help. After only 5 minutes I get off the machine and go to talk to my friend who is also struggling and also not getting help. Then suddenly he cares. I tell him I'm scared of falling off the machine and need some help and guidance. He says no. He says he can refund me but I can't move to the machine near my friend and can't sit in the room. I must go to the front waiting area or leave. I've taken tons of different classes in LA and all over the globe. I love trying out new classes and testing new ways to enhance my fitness. This was not a remotely positive experience for me. I go to classes for guidance and oversight. I go to share the experience with friends, learn new moves, and have the camaraderie and energy of others all working towards their own goals. This was independent, hostile and frankly embarrassing.

I trained with him and he showed me more in one session than I ever have gotten from any trainer before. Marc then started the academy. I needed to do cardio so I went. Unbelievable!!! It's like the best of every class, trainer, lifting program I have ever taken. And yes it's in a class/group setting. The classes are smaller so it's more one on one. The people are nice and friendly and motivating without being so hardcore like some of my CrossFit friends can be, (FYI I don't do CrossFit, too hard on my joints). There's such variety to choose from, flexibility classes and lifting classes.
