They play the best music to get you moving and each time I walk out of there with a big smile on my face and feeling so grounded and grateful. Yuichi is a gracious guy and the staff and coaches are amazing people who do a great job of motivating others, and making everyone feel like part of the pack. They offer numerous daily group classes, excellent private training, open gym with great equipment, training camps, and kids classes, just to name a few. They also participate in various community supportive efforts from animal advocacy to families in need, to toy drives....they do it all. Not sure what else one can ask for from one place.

Everyone there from front desk, to trainers, to the other members are not only friendly and welcoming, but they make you feel strong and empowered every time you walk through the doors. And you leave feeling even better. The classes are suitable for people of all skill levels and you have your choice of boxing, kickboxing, bootcamp and sparring. The trainers are top notch (shout out to Justin!). If you're looking to get in a workout between classes, they have cardio equipment and weights. There's a recovery room for sports massage and compression sleeves, etc. Rates are competitive, bathrooms are always nice and clean, music always bumping and if you're lucky you'll get to meet Koko the mascot :)

This is what gyms are missing today. They have a great system for parking. Everything you'd ever…read moreneed in a gym. And spacious. 10/10 will be back. Especially because of the front desk. Don't be overwhelmed by the parking lot. It's tandem parking. Just find a spot and tell the front desk where you parked. They'll deal with the car while you workout if it needs to be moved. Very welcoming to visitors. Super affordable week pass. 50 bucks. That's like 7.50 a day. RARE for visiting gyms. Near unheard of in California.

I decided to come and check it out, I was also looking for personal training just to get the guidance that I so desperately need. I had my assessment with Miguel, and man this guy made me feel comfortable from the very beginning. Throughout the entire hour I spent with him, there was not one moment I felt self-conscious or judged, I felt right at home and it was because of his disposition. He found ways to relate to my personal experience, he managed to make me come out of my shell (which is not a very easy thing to do). By the end of the assessment I knew this would be my new home gym, I needed to become a member AND I needed to sign up for personal training with him of course. I am now a proud member of LM Fitness, I cannot wait to continue to work with Miguel and all the amazing people I have met so far. I have been at this location twice now and every single time the vibe just feels right, I cannot wait to experience this little family they have created.

As someone with gym anxiety who isn't a "gym person," I was genuinely nervous walking into…read moreOrangeTheory, but this ended up being one of the best workout experiences I've had. The sign-up process was easy, and Josh immediately made me feel comfortable by clearly explaining how everything works. Coach Lee MADE the experience. She guided the class so well and gently corrected my form throughout without ever making me feel singled out or behind. The workout was intense but manageable. I could go at my own pace while still keeping up, burned around 600 calories, and definitely felt it the next day. What really stood out was the support. Lee helped me choose a membership that actually fit my needs without upselling, and both her and Josh were incredibly patient with all my questions. I walked in anxious and left feeling proud and excited to come back, which says everything.

They are always warm, welcoming, and genuinely make members feel valued from the moment they walk in. 3 stars for some (not all) of the other coaches. At times, they seem to engage more passively with the class and expect members to approach them with questions, rather than proactively checking in, offering form corrections, or coaching throughout the workout. 1 star for the app. It is persistently glitchy and seems to have recurring technical issues that make scheduling and managing classes more frustrating than it should be. -1 star for converting classes to a 1G format when attendance is low. While I understand it may be more convenient for the coach, it often means everyone is crowded into an already small workout space. As a member, the experience feels cramped and uncomfortable. I would much rather spread out across the room, even if there are fewer people in class. -1 star for the extras to make this a more organized studio- like the stickers on the weight racks. Dumbbells are always misplaced.

I'm in my second month of Velocity Boot Camp and enjoying a newfound sense of health and…read morewell-being. My husband and I were feeling a little out of shape and wanted to nip it in the bud before the holidays started up this year. I looked around for a fun and challenging exercise program that would work with our schedule and found Velocity through Yelp. Matt is a great trainer who pushes you to be your best while also remaining gentle and helpful! I've always been worried about my form, so having him there to correct if necessary is clutch. I can really see the changes in my body from about 6 weeks of camp. If you eat clean and attend class every day, you'll see results. Can't wait to enter 2020 with some new foundational health practices. Thanks Matt and VBC for the push!

I've been through a lot of different fitness situations: crossfit, parkour classes, muay thai with…read morea private coach, gym memberships, hiking, and running. I've been seduced by luxurious gyms, exercise trends, and training centers that are 30 minutes from my house. None of them lasted longer than a year. (Well, except for Muay Thai. I can kick your ass.) Why didn't these solutions last long? They were too far, too expensive, too culty, the trainers were too inexperienced and cocky, they didn't happen at times that worked with my life schedule...and so I moved on. So in my experience, one thing matters the most -- will you show up and do the work? I can safely say that with Velocity, the answer is yes. Velocity's greatest strength can be found in its leader, Matt. Matt has the unique quality of being supportive and encouraging without being a tyrant. He is also very precise and knowledgeable -- he'll pop over to tutor you on form, and he inspires you to do a little better each time. The classes tend to be small, so you have plenty of room to work out, and you get all of the attention you need. The exercises we do in class -- usually four rounds of three sets of three exercises each -- hit every part of the body and challenge you to push your limits. Velocity Boot Camp is also very readily accessible. I know that if I wake up at 6:45 and my feet hit the floor at 6:50, that I can be in class at 7am, no problem. Classes take place in a dance studio on Hyperion in Silver Lake. The location is simple but really does the trick, and parking at 7am is easy. The class lasts about 45 minutes, and I'm back home, ready to start my day with an added burst of energy, before 8am. I've been going for about a month, and while I had a good baseline fitness already, I can see changes happening: abs getting tighter, metabolism getting faster, and a general increase in energy level. If you're looking to get fit and stay fit, Velocity Boot Camp has my highest endorsement.

LA Beach Fit is perfect for me at this time. I love how organized the website is. You can set your schedule ahead of time and change it up depending on your availability. As of now, class times are limited to mornings and afternoons, but the more members LABF gets, the more classes they'll be able to add. The class is outside, at the Silver Lake meadow. Being outside is important to me. I love the sky and sun, and I want to be under them as much as I can. Why workout in some stinky gym, sitting on a machine covered in someone else's sweat. I'd rather workout in the fresh air, near the water. And the ducks who visit are too cute! What's also great about training outdoors is that you'll learn exercises you can do on your own, without a gym, without equipment. I did some of my workouts in my hotel room while traveling and felt great afterwards. The trainers are great guys. Adam is very nurturing and truly wants you to succeed. The classes have a small amount of students for now, so it's almost like having a personal trainer. Damian, the other trainer, works at a different pace than Adam, but is equally attentive and excited to see his students grow. The contrast between the two trainers makes for a well balanced workout regime. Both trainers will get you strong. Both will make you sweat. If you want to get fit, outside, with cool people, give LABF a try. The classes are good for people at any fitness level, so you shouldn't feel too behind or too ahead. And if you do, talk to the trainers.

I've never taken a bootcamp class before til I took this one. It was recommended by friends so I…read moresigned up for a month to try it out. I have usually worked out at the gym with weights but I wanted something different to get in much better cardio shape than I was in. Adam is relaxed and knowledgable, and he isn't the drill instructor type guy but still gets me motivated. A lot of what he does seems simple at first but it was kicking my a** for sure. There's different levels so people in the same class can do it at the same time and it works. It was cool that really anybody could join regardless of their fitness level. The Silver Lake Reservoir is a great spot as well. Adam is more than a "fit guy" he really is more into wellness and life long health and self improvement. I don't know what the other cross fit gigs are like but this one is excellent.

He will often sacrifice his own workout time to accommodate a client. Since I can't do personal training as often as I'd like, Lance created a personalized "Push Day" and "Pull Day" program for me that I can take to the gym and do on my own. He doesn't judge you and genuinely cares. He has celebrity clients and has trained some huge names, yet he makes me feel equally important. His new studio location is full of brand new equipment and is in a cool spot in Glassell Park near all the new restaurants there. Plus his dog Bud is adorable! He'll hang out with you while you work out, so you get a dose of animal therapy too. I worked with Lance a while back but fell off. Lance has actively encouraged me to get back into motion. I am now restarting my fitness journey after some time off due to his support. It's wonderful to feel like you have an ally in something so important and so personal. Thanks, Lance.
