I quit Bunda after two months. It was so fun at the beginning but the workout gets old quick. There's only so much you can do with a Stairmaster and dumbbells. The floor workouts are completely rushed and they expect you to do heavy weights AND high reps in the 6-8 minutes your round lasts. That's not really possible to do without sacrificing good form. I'm trying not to injure myself thanks. Also, if I want to modify, I'm going to modify despite their silly rules as long as it's not a completely different workout as it's my workout I'm paying for. read more

5/5 class & instructors - I mostly took Mayra's class and she is so great at giving detailed instruction on how to improve form during the weightlifting portion. She was always very welcoming and all the instructors and front staff are good about answering any questions 4/5 amenities. They used to give a sweat towel but now it's just a wipe down towel. But the eucalyptus towels post class are amazing. There is a bit of an upfront additional cost with the equipment needed, especially on leg days since you can't bring your own equipment. There aren't showers and you SWEAT during these classes. But the bathrooms are always clean. Oh and also they have the rains for after class. Overall the environment at this location is amazing and the class is one of the best models out there. Definitely recommend read more

Best group fitness class! I finally have some defined arms! The staff is amazing here. They're always full of energy and joy! Megan, Michelle, Ray!!! Such great coaches! read more

At first I loved Bünda I would take my friends and I would go all time until they started changing a lot of things that had been included in my membership. I was one of the people who got a membership before it had even opened. First thing that change is that they had a changing room then it was replaced with a washer and dryer I would cane start from work and change there but now I had to change in the bathroom Second There used to be a 7pm class then they changed it and no longer had that time frame I used to go before work or after work and the time they changed it to no longer fit my schedule Third With my membership they had told me I had bring 3 guest passes so at first I was being my friend until they told me I couldn't repeat the same person My last couple of day were a headache I had called to book a class for me and a friend and they had not called me nor emailed me back I had to repeatedly call until finally someone picked up ones I booked they put me and friend apart when we even switched classes to be together. I explained everything to the two staff in the front and I even showed them I had proof I thought they would try and keep there loyal members happy but unfortunately they didn't try with me read more

This workout is a joke. There are 6 rounds so they have you swap stations several times. The back and forth is inefficient and takes up a good portion of precious time in the class. Heart rate does NOT stay up during transitions either ... they make you clean the station EVERY single transition (a way to minimize cleaning costs maybe)? I signed up for class to workout, not spend half of it cleaning ... my last but biggest issue is that they do not allow modifications and have a big long list of rules posted inside the studio of what you are not allowed to do. If I am paying for it and it's MY workout, I'm going to do what I want. I had an instructor come and throw a sandbag on me to go "heavier" when I am lower back sensitive. Instructors must be very insecure and selfish to force clients to follow their lead, even when it is NOT best for each individual client's health !!! Yikes, avoid like the plague. read more

I absolutely love working out at Bunda! The workouts are so much fun, and the staff is incredibly warm and welcoming--the manager Devin who is also a instructor instantly puts me in a good mood just being around here. She's a ball of energy/sunshine/ and expert instructor: They really set you up for success, keeping an eye on your form to prevent injuries while making sure you're always challenged. Every class pushes me in the best way, and who doesn't love a good sweat and a nice butt? 10/10 Highly recommend! BETTER BUTT BETTER BODY! read more

I've been a member at bunda for over a year now and I continue to love working out here. The energy here is so positive and encouraging! The coaches are great and they're really good and explaining good form. I've seen a huge transformation with my body too - I was finally able to lose some unwanted weight and see more definition in my arms and legs. The workouts always challenge me in the best way I definitely recommend bunda if you're looking for a gym program that actually works. read more

From my very first day at BÜNDA, I felt so welcomed. The staff is attentive, the coaches truly care, and the workouts are unlike anything I've ever done. Each class pushes me in the best way and I can already see and feel the changes. The energy here is amazing--it keeps me motivated and excited to come back every time! read more

Bunda - Stairmaster - Gyms Near Me - Manhattan Beach, California

See all

First time doing Bunda! Trying to build-a-butt. Team members were so kind and took the time to go over the concept of the class, format and equipment. I took the full body class with Suzie, and wow! Suzie is an incredible instructor, correcting form when needed, and I was able to follow along as her instructions and pace were very clear. I had an incredible workout, and left feeling confident and excited to do it again! Thanks so much! The workouts involve a stepmill (stairmaster), and you alternate between the stairs and on the floor exercises. It may seem intimidating at first, as you are climbing steps, but you can make adjustments. We did three rounds (i.e., steps, floor, steps, floor, steps, floor), and finished with some stretches. read more

Bunda - Gyms Near Me - Manhattan Beach, California

I don't know why I waited this long to write this review but absolutely the best Bunda studio! In fact the best workout studio in the South Bay in my opinion. I've gone to all the Bunda studios, especially the one in Santa Monica and Weho. This studio is better by a mile! All the staff is incredibly nice and I rate all the workouts 10/10 (I'm also very picky with workouts). The manager Megan, all I can say is I wish more people are like her. The best human being :) Her workout classes are amazing too so definitely book her class. I always get a good experience when I come here. Highly highly recommend! So happy they're bringing Bunda to this area since I had just moved here. I was really turned off by Bunda for a while because of the Santa Monica studio. I recommended a few friends to the Santa Monica studio when I lived there and they all had a terrible experience but trust me this studio has a COMPLETELY different vibe! read more

I love this place. New to exercise, slightly older, they are very accommodating and make adjustments where necessary. They are super nice and welcoming. You don't need to feel self conscious as a beginner. Love all instructors, especially Lucy!! read more

I love Bunda! I struggled to find my place when my gym closed a few years ago and then I discovered Bunda. The classes keep me motivated in my fitness journey. The trainers and staff make me feel welcome and supported. Megan is amazing! You'll love it here too. read more

As a Bunda member, I was excited to introduce my sister to the class as a potential new customer. We showed up 15 minutes early, yet were turned away at the door because we weren't exactly 30 minutes early. They said they couldn't explain the workout in 15 mins. The staff showed no flexibility or empathy. As a new mother I get one hour a week just for myself to workout and with the many amazing workout options in the area, I chose Bunda. The fact that I had arranged for a babysitter only to be told we could not attend the class for no reason other than coming 15 mins early instead of 30 mins early. To make matters worse, we were told we would not be refunded for the class. I was genuinely trying to support the business and bring someone new in, but after such an unwelcoming experience, we'll both be looking elsewhere. Fitness centers come and go, and THIS is one way to start the exit out. Really disappointing. read more

Worst experience ever. My sister bought me a class and I was so excited to try Bunda. We arrived 15 minutes early and were told that we needed to come "30 minutes early" to class, and that we could not take the class or receive a refund. Their system is completely ridiculous, and a terribly stupid way to attract and retain new customers. Such a disappointment and will never do Bunda. There are so many better and more welcoming alternatives. read more

I went for a free trial during HERmosa Circle's wellness workout series and was seriously impressed. I'm not 22 anymore but am in halfway decent shape for my ample size and LOVED how I could customize the intensity to what I needed without dropping out. I'm not one for HIIT and was amazed that I could keep up with it, frankly, and signed up for a package right away afterwards. Whether you're sprightly and energetic or looking for a fun new class for serious fat burn that tones your tush and that you can customize to fit to your adrenal/cortisol tolerance - give it a try. I think you'll be pleasantly surprised. read more

The class is a great base to start working out and feel a good burn. I will say the environment wise it's not great. I really tried to give it another chance but personally the times I've been in the studio it feels very exclusive. read more

New to Bünda and can't say enough good things about this place. Michelle, Mayra, Danielle & Devin are all great instructors. Definitely give this location a try if you're in Manhattan Beach. read more

Great workout and staff is helpful and friendly! Burnt more calories than any other class!

I couldn't have designed a better work for myself. It's strength training with the low impact stair master(my knees are grateful) & AWESOME trainers. Funny enough, I get my sweat on more while doing weights. I love the positivity from the trainers. This is a huge win for me finding Bunda. I'm getting stronger & my knees are holding up:) Shout out to Devin, the studio manager(always upbeat) and a couple of my favorite trainers(Devin, Mayra, Kelsey, Carleigh,& Jennifer). All the trainer have been excellent!!! Thank you Bunda!!! read more

Just took my second class & absolutely loved it! The instructors specifically Jenn & Michelle were so welcoming & made me feel so comfortable at a new studio! Devin - the store manager has been extremely helpful & went above and beyond to make sure I am set up for success! The vibe of the workout space is so fun & motivating! Just joined the 8 week challenge & can't wait to see my progress at the Manhattan Beach Bunda Studio!! Thank you to the team for making me so comfortable! read more

If i could give more than 5 stars, then i will. My experience with Bunda was just so great! I love everything. The studio is clean, i like the environment, the staffs are just hands down friendly and accomodating. Special mention to Devin who's always so sweet, understanding and considerate . Being with them for a few months, really made me feel better, mentally, emotionally and physically. I'm looking forward to come back if time and circumstances permits . read more

Finally I found a place that I can be consistent with! After joining and quitting many gyms this is the first time I haven't stopped going. This group fitness class has me sweating and I love that you can go at your own pace. Everytime I think I have gone to my hardest class the next class proves me wrong. I love all the variations and different muscle groups the trainers are helping me hit. I noticed my base pace on the stairs is getting higher. I can now softly do a base pace at 5 and I started at 3, struggling! I can also lift heavier. Clothes are fitting better and almost 20lbs down. The trainers are amazing, they will help correct form and give you motivation to keep pushing. All the staff are so pleasant and helpful. You are always greeted with warm smiles and on the way out they have eucalyptus towels to help you cool down. Im more active now and stress levels are down. Not to mention all the energy I have now. If you're looking for a place to workout that's non-judgmental and motivating this is the place for you. Great for beginners and advanced fitness levels. read more

New to Bunda and I love it. The trainers are excellent. I'm in better shape than I've ever been. It's a great place! I highly recommend the studio. read more
