My first time trying Bunda and OMG it was the best!!!! My friend invited me to try it out and I fell in love with it. I recently have been injured and trying to recover and get Strength! My last night session did that and some much more. I love how you can go on your own pace, and it's suitable if you do have some injuries. It is a really good 55 min workout with high intensity! You will feel so good afterwards!! I had the pleasure of having Bryan for my instructor who was phenomenal!! He is co-owner and super cool. He helped me out before we started and showed me the things we would do for the night!! They even welcomed me with having my name on paper where I can post it in class to be acknowledged. Also, the Music was amazingggg it made the workout fun!! I had a blast!! It's very clean inside and you clean off the apparatus every station change. It's very cute inside and quaint. It's dark but I love that it's dark! It's not intimidating whatsoever and they motivate you!! Customer service was exceptional and very nice!! I signed up for more classes and I am very excited!! Try Bunda you will not regret it!! Good for everyone!! When it's completed they give you a nice cold towel that feels very good! The parking can be bad since it's located in downtown Pasadena. Just arrive a lil earlier if you can. -Marshay D. read more

Needed to come to Yelp to sing the praises of Bunda Pasadena because this is the BEST customer service I have received in at least a decade.... I stopped into today to update my card info after a fraud problem caused me to get a new debit account. While I was there I asked trainer Callie what the 'pause account' policies were. I had signed up as a founding member, but had only managed to attend one class due to an illness then injury. Being a 'founding member' carried enough value that it made more sense to keep it active even if I could not attend. It was my OWN fault I never asked earlier, as I never expected to be out of the training game as long as I was. Callie listened attentively, helped me sign up for the next week under HER name because my account was effectively paused- then said as soon as her manager was available, she would call and see if there was 'something they could do' to credit me for my lost training time. Graciella (hope I'm spelling everyone's name correctly!) called me about 20 minutes later, and graciously (true to the name ;) offered to credit me for THE ENTIRE TIME I MISSED OUT ON!!!! I was so overwhelmed I almost didn't know what to say..... obviously it was very clear I have been paying for months for a service I wasn't able to take advantage of, but this level of generosity is unheard of today! In this age of bots, endless customer service wait times, submitted forms that never get a response, and generally broken promises from merchants, to have a business tell you they would reach out to help, then deliver on that promise in under an hour feels almost like magic. It just never happens anymore, and EVERYONE should know. Particularly in an environment where a person trying to improve and change, that level of support, that feeling of 'I understand- and I GOT YOU'..... you just can't put a price tag on that. These women and this location will have my loyalty forever, I am so grateful. THANK YOU LADIES!!!! PS: I know this review had nothing to do with the workout itself, but the one class I did before I had to take a break totally kicked my ass & I loved it! It's why I kept my account active so long in hopes of returning at least 3 days a week, it's exactly the type of hype & grind I was looking for. Really looking forward to more! read more

My friend and I took Bryan's class today. So darn hard, and so darn good. This studio and all the coaches are amazing. It's not intimidating and the coaches always come to help you w your form. I'm fairly a new member, only have taken a few classes so far but it's all been 10/10. If you want to transform your body, this is the studio. They focus on the progressive overload in strength workouts - it's safe, not intimidating and dare I say, even fun? The hour passes by quick. Also stellar music. I also like that you can clearly still hear the coach and their instructions. They demo everything and then come help you. Aaaand you get a eucalyptus cold towel at the end!!!! Heaven read more

**Booty Goals? Confidence Goals? Girl Gang Goals? BUNDA. IS. IT.** Okay ladies, let me put you on to the secret sauce that changed my life -- BUNDA. If you've been craving a workout that actually delivers results (hellooo lifted booty + snatched waist ), while also surrounding you with the most uplifting, strong, inspiring women -- you've gotta get yourself to a class ASAP. Like, yesterday. Let me just say: Bunda didn't just change my body -- it healed my heart, reset my mindset, and gave me a new level of confidence I didn't know existed. This isn't just a fitness studio, it's a vibe, a movement, a whole lifestyle. I came in for a revenge body (because, you know... heartbreak), but I stayed for the sisterhood. The energy here is infectious -- every woman in that room is rooting for you. Imagine walking into a space where you feel empowered, hyped, and celebrated every single time. That's Bunda, babe The workouts? Fire. It's the perfect mix of cardio, lifting, and booty-focused strength that'll leave your glutes screaming in the best way. If you're trying to build those gains and feel strong AF, this is 100% where you need to be. And yes, it pairs so well with your weekly Pilates -- but let's be real, I'd come here every day if I could. The coaches? Absolute queens I started off at the Glendale location (shoutout to my OG coaches there!!) and they truly set the tone. Every instructor is fierce, knowledgeable, and soooo motivating -- I have my faves and pasadena, but you honestly can't go wrong. They push you, but they also see you, and that makes all the difference. Not to be dramatic, but I'm basically a walking Bunda brand ambassador at this point. I've got the gear, the equipment, the water bottle... I've dragged half my friend group into the studio with me (you're welcome), and I've got more people asking about Bunda than my skincare routine So if you're: Looking for a fitness fam to keep you accountable Ready to level up your booty game Wanting to feel strong, sexy, and unstoppable Or just need something new to fall in love with again... THIS. IS. YOUR. SIGN. Go take the class. Try it once. I promise you'll be obsessed. Thank you, Bunda, for being exactly what I didn't know I needed. For the transformation. For the friendships. For the confidence. For the best glutes of my life. xoxo, A forever Bunda babe read more

I took advantage of the new client drop-in offer of $17.50 and booked my first Glutecamp class with Shakira-- she was absolutely amazing. From the moment the class started, she was super detailed with her instructions-perfect for someone new like me. She made sure everyone knew exactly how to use the equipment and maintain proper form, which I really appreciated. The class structure was challenging but manageable, and I loved the mix of cardio and strength. And can we talk about the music? The playlist was on point, high energy, motivating, and made the workout fly by. The vibe in the studio was welcoming, the lighting was cool and energizing, and the whole experience felt really intentional and well thought-out. I left feeling stronger, sweatier, and seriously motivated to come back. Definitely recommend trying a class here, especially with Shakira if you want a clear, motivating instructor who really knows her stuff! There are cubbies for personal belongings in the training room. Be sure to bring a towel + water bottle, you will need it. Street parking is plenty and free before 11am on surrounding streets like Fair Oaks, De Lacey, and Green Street! read more

Bunda - Gyms Near Me - Pasadena, California

I can't say enough great things about Bunda Pasadena. I became a founding member and took a leap of faith, since I had never tried Bunda before. When they finally opened, I knew I'd made the right decision. The teachers are always so kind, supportive, and full of energy. It makes every class feel motivating. And their playlists are the best! I always want to pull out my phone and Shazam the songs. I also love that I walk out knowing I've had an effective workout, and I also feel so accomplished. Within just one month, I started seeing results, though I'll admit I've been consistent with Bunda and mindful with my diet as well. I also enjoy the extra challenges. I joined the One Month Bunda Challenge determined to win the beach towel, and I did! It was adorable, and it made the victory even sweeter. On top of all that, the staff makes me feel truly welcome. They greet me by my first name, which adds such a personal touch. I'm so glad I found this gym. read more

Bunda - Me and my super cute Bunda beach towel! - Gyms Near Me - Pasadena, California

I have been going to Bunda for several months and have really enjoyed getting to know the teachers and seeing my ability to lift heavy increase! Highly recommend for a very challenging workout! read more

I'm so happy I found BÜNDA! I just started my third week and I can already see and feel the difference in my body. My core feels stronger, my calves are more defined, and my booty is definitely lifting and firming up! What really makes BÜNDA special are the people. The coaches are amazing at correcting my form and posture when I need it (which I definitely appreciate), and the front desk girlies are always super helpful; whether I'm adjusting a booking or bringing a friend along for a class. Now, a little heads-up for the newbies: BÜNDA can feel like a lot at first. The music is loud, the energy is high, and there's a ton happening all at once. As someone with A.D.D., I was definitely overstimulated my first class, but don't worry, you'll adjust, and it's so worth it. Here are a few tips that helped me: * On the StairMaster: Try closing your eyes and tuning out the music during a "push." It helps to just focus on the coach's voice. * Noise sensitivity? Ask for earplugs at the front desk, they've got you! * Bring a buddy: BÜNDA gives you guest passes, and I love bringing friends and family to experience the class with me. Booty gains for everyone If you're thinking about trying it, go for it! It's challenging, it's fun, and it works. read more

Worked out with my ILYGIRLHOOD girlies and had the best experience! The coaches are so nice and supportive, and the workout itself is amazing. Totally worth it. Highly recommend read more

My instructor was Shakira . She was great! She explained everything to me before class. She pushed me and corrected my form, which I loved . The front staff was sweet and helpful . I highly recommend this place. I see myself coming back ! read more

Absolutely love Bunda! I started working out with them in May and have lost body fat and gained muscle which I've never had before! Absolutely loving my results and look forward to attending. My favorite classes are arms and Abs! The instructors truly care to make sure our form is correct but also push us to try harder. Shout out to Shakira, Hannah and Bryan!! read more

Love love Bunda! I started these classes about two months ago and I am already feeling stronger and inspired to keep going. This is a 55 minute have stair master and half strength training class - the instructors and very friendly and encourage you to go at your own pace, but also to push yourself when you can. I especially love the Sunday morning total body workout class - its a challenging workout and absolutely worth it. I look forward to continuing Bunda I. The new year. read more

If you're reading this, THIS IS YOUR SIGN TO TRY BUNDA!!! BUNDA focuses on repetition, so you're doing the same 3 main movements throughout the 55 minutes and working to lift heavier and improving form! That's literally the key to changing your bodies!! No shade, but I've been to other gyms with similar formats, and when it's time to lift weights you only do that one movement one time with no emphasis on form or lifting heavier, pretty much a waste of time.. but you won't experience this at BUNDA!! Every minute counts. The stairs, is my nemesis! Hahah jk. I just dislike cardio but I need it. The thing that works for me is they focus more on steady state cardio rather than HIIT so that you can save your energy for lifting. The coaches are so great and helpful!! They're clear with form corrections and are so knowledgeable. They even help you reach your goals by looking at your body scan results and providing suggestions for calorie deficits and protein goals. It's seriously such a wonderful community. Shout out to Sade for her fire playlist and great coaching, to Shakira who never lets me take it easy (she don't play ), and Graciela for her clear coaching instructions and helping me set nutrition goals read more

Love Bunda! What really sets Bunda apart from other studios with similar formats (combining weight training and cardio stations) is their emphasis on proper form. I am so appreciative of all the coaches' guidance--they consistently offer helpful tips and hands-on adjustments that make a noticeable difference. Ten classes in, I can already see improvements in both my strength and technique. read more

Love Bunda! Totally recommend, it has completely changed my mind, body, and the way I look at workouts! Never going back... Thank you guys! read more

Bunda - Gyms Near Me - Pasadena, California

So happy since I switched to BUNDA. I've had so many different memberships w other gyms, training facilities, programs. Finally I can strength train AND get stairs in one session, one location. This is really a great way for me to get a solid & efficient workout into an already busy workday. Really appreciate Graciela for taking time to go over my bmi details with me & guidance on what my calorie/ protein intake should look like based on my personal goals. So far lost 7 lbs fat, gained 2 lbs muscle Super knowledgeable, I learned so much! Highly recommend read more

I've been doing HIIT classes for over two years at another gym and thought I was pretty fit, but Bunda kicked my butt in a good way. I wanted to change things up in my fitness routine and this is what I was looking for. The class is fast paced for an hour long and I never feel that it lags. The stair master is underrated cardio and I always skilled at the gym before but now I see the benefit. The glute classes are what my body needed, not overly complicated but super effective. I'm so glad I tried this out. Shout out to coach B who really helps me understand the moves we do. read more

I highly recommend coming here! I was hooked after my first trial class! It's been about 2 months now for me and I go about 5-6 days/week. I definitely feel a difference in my strength and body! It's suitable for any fitness level, it's fun - the 55 minutes is over before you know it, informative - the instructors make sure your form is correct, booking classes is easy, the entire staff is super friendly and very helpful! read more

Bunda - Bünda's motto - Better Butt Better Body!!! - Gyms Near Me - Pasadena, California

Best trainers and community in Pasadena! Also probably the best place to actually strength train in a group fitness class while getting coached on how to move properly so form improves. Love the vibes! read more

I have been a member here for almost more than 2 months. All the staff here is amazing and great. I love how hard they push you and correct your form which is the most important key. I would recommend this place for anyone read more

Genetics & muscle memory were always on my side when it came to weight & maintaining a fitness level (former gymnastic & cheerleader here) & then I turned 35. I had a baby. I had PPD/PPA. Life hit me for the first time. I didn't feel like myself. Slowly my son got older & I dropped a lot of weight. However, I couldn't seem to get back down to my former pre pregnancy body. I decided to try different workout methods & nothing motivated me to be honest. Then...my friend Kate told me about Bunda. I hadn't seen her in a few weeks & I was shocked at her energy level & she looked happier & slimmer. I decided to give it a try. I've been to other workout studios & not to throw shade but sometimes you enter not a "safe space". Everyone knows everyone. It's cliquey & cold. You are the new person & you are out of shape. You stick out & that's saying a lot because I could talk to a wall. This is NOT Bunda. The very first time I walked into the studio the girls at the front were so so so welcoming & sweet & accommodating. Every. Single. Time. I go to class they remember my name. They are so encouraging & just happy to be there. Shout out to Rachel for being one of the very first girls I met there. She's a peach. They even ask you about your class when you're done. And the cold towels they bring....yesssss!!! & Niko...So personable & funny. The owners: all of them are gems but I want to focus on Dallas. Such a wonderful girl. Real girl's girl. You know the type. Adorable & In shape like you wouldn't believe but a real cheerleader for women & their fitness goals. NOT intimidating in the least. So encouraging. Seems to really care a lot about the people who come to Bunda & their body goals. The instructors: ALL of the them are epic. Haven't taken a bad class. I do have my favs though. Shout out to Sade. My girl! Her playlists & infectious spirit. Xandra...very bubbly & funny & pushes you to do your hardest work just by looking at her (her abs!!!) Gillian...such a positive & personable person. Graciela....a stickler for form. She pushes me to lift heavier & not cheat myself in a workout. Dallas teaches as well...very informative & also a stickler for form. The workout: I'm not gonna lie to you...this workout is tough. Every time I finish a class (I've done close to 45 at this point) I can't believe I worked out that hard in 55 minutes. Haha I'm covered in sweat. I'm sore most days but I've never felt stronger & more capable. Even just mentally. I feel like I can do anything. I feel powerful. I have more energy. And I'm physically stronger. I can do the stair master now no problem. I can lift heavier & focus my breathing more. Plus...the body. Better booty & my waist gets smaller by the day. I swear you can see my side abs again. I can't wait to see what I look like in 40 more classes. I love the loud music . I love the lighting. I love the neon. I love the energy. I love the community. I love the other awesome people I've met in my classes. I love how everyone roots for each other. Also, I want to add...this is a class for everyone. If you are starting a fitness journey, they got you. If you are coming back after life got in the way...they got you. If you are advanced, I promise they'll challenge you too. Old, young, fit, not fit, post partnum, pregnant they got you. Men too! So, if you are on the fence, give them a shot I couldn't recommend more! read more

Bunda - Amazing work out! You just have to go and the instructors help guide you through everything! All the girls are very encouraging! - Gyms Near Me - Pasadena, California

I love this location! I've been to a few others and the Pasadena location has such a good vibe. I love Bunda as a whole, mainly because of all the trainers (my fave is Hannah)! I'm glad that it's a great space for women to workout, but as a guy it's also super beneficial. I highly recommend you try it out if you haven't already. Best workout class I've ever done! read more

Amazing workout, coaches are all knowledgeable and super friendly. Definitely worth checking out!!

Honest review. Everything is great except two major factors which are making me want to not go anymore or refer my friends: 1. ITS WAYYY TO LOUD! With the music blaring and the instructor screaming over the muddled microphone, it's not only causing ringing in my ear which I now have to see a doctor for but it's not an enjoyable experience. Too much going on. The volume needs to be lowered on everything! It's a small room, it doesn't need that much noise. I even bought noise cancelling headphones but they are too heavy to wear in class. I use ear plugs but even those don't work. That's how loud it is!! Most people have taken the class before so they don't need the instructor yelling over the music the whole time and for those who have not -- they get a consult before starting so there's really no point for the clashing of loud noises. 2. The smell of the cleaning supplies that we have to use each time we switch is unbearable. So horrible when you're trying to catch your breath. They should just get unscented cleaners. They cause people to become nauseous, I've seen people exiting the room to get air and I'm pretty sure it's from that. Imagine inhaling a strong perfume between intense sets, not good. Having said that, I enjoy the classes. Hope they will adjust those two things above so I can stay committed to going and feel comfortable enough to refer my friends and family. read more

Everyone was so friendly-- staff, trainers, friends! The class was challenging if in a great way, with help to modify!
