I recently started personal training at Axis Gym in El Segundo with Kyle, and I wanted to share how…read moregood the experience has been so far. I was a little nervous going in, but Kyle made the first session easy: he asked about my goals and any past injuries, and he built a plan around where I actually am, not where he assumed I'd be. He's patient with form, mixes things up so it never feels repetitive, and checks in on how I'm feeling. The gym itself is clean and friendly, and the operating hours make it easy to fit training in before work. I'm only a few weeks in, but I already feel more confident, stronger and consistent. Thank you, Kyle and the Axis Gym team!

I can't say enough great things about Kyle and Axis Gym. What truly sets Kyle apart is how he…read moretailors his coaching style to each individual who walks through the door. There are no cookie cutter programs, just thoughtful and personalized training that meets you where you are. Since working with him, my health has improved significantly and I have discovered a genuine love for weightlifting that I never expected. He creates an environment that is both motivating and supportive, which makes it easy to stay consistent and keep pushing yourself. The best gym if you're looking for highly personalized, adaptable training in a calm and supportive environment, with great equipment too.

My fitness journey has had it ups and downs, and I have been doing crossfit for about 4 years. At…read morethe beginning of this year, I was in looking to recover from a down phase - in winter of 2020 I suffered a miscarriage and had some serious depression. I had been a part of another crossfit gym, but my needs had changed. Sorta is super close to my home and their social media presence had my curiosity so I applied. When I started, the vibe at Sorta surprised me - in a good way - I hadn't been to a fitness facility that was so chill and so culturally fitting to me. I am latina so that feeling of family is important to me annnnnd I L-O-V-E hearing good music that makes you want to dance when you train (that may be weird to some, but that is life to me). Sorta has both AND no one thinks that is weird including Juan (shit, I think he puts the jams on purpose because he knows it pushes us). The members at Sorta are diverse, but it is really cool to see my latina lifters - especially a solid mix of ones that are new and ones that are experienced. Coming off a rough end of 2020, these factors were healing to me and I haven't even gotten to the programming and coaches. I knew about Juan prior to Sorta from his previous experience directing programming at another well recognized and respected training facility. So, I was excited to get to learn from an expert in exercise science, and I am still very surprised on how much information is taught every week. - breathing exercise - nutrition - powerlifting - crossfit and more stuff that I am learning to understand. What is even more awesome is the modifications the coaches can make if you have injuries. I am genetically pre-disposed to clotting and I have a chronic heel/ankle injury. Any workout - I have still been able to participate safely AND Juan is always watching. When I tried to do more, he has stopped me and modified my movements for my safety. The folks at Sorta know what they are doing and look to help educate others in their fitness journey. There is variety of skill levels at each class which means the programming is modified to meet each member at their current skill level. The written workouts provide direction, but the coaches ensure to tailor it so the members are challenged appropriately. Lastly, we need to talk about community. How cool to have a place that is helping others and ACTIVELY works to be involved in the community. Sorta has worked to support local business, done clothing drives AND provide mentorship to the youth. Needless to say, today, I am in a much healthier, happier place and Sorta has helped me recover physically and mentally. If all that I wrote sounds wonderful to you then Sorta is something to check out. Otherwise, I have saved you some money and time in finding the place for you. CHEERS! PS. They are kid and dog (on a leash) friendly.

Writing an amended review for everyone's safety…read more This business responded and tried to tell me in very blatant terms that I was unqualified to share my experience the way I did. The reason why everything I said was CORRECT is because I worked with two different certified Olympic coaches who also competed and placed nationally. Getting a bunch of certifications doesn't guarantee that anyone actually understands how the body moves and what types of injuries will cause which limitations or which muscles will compensate for what weaknesses or imbalances. Juan should have also been able to tell immediately that I have hypermobility and that it will affect some of my lifts based on how I was performing, but sadly he had no idea. Have seen multiple lifters on their Instagram with poor form and having to use PL belts to pull very little to average weight. Of course we do not know if they have prior injuries but I have a feeling these things were maybe not discussed in depth... As someone who has lifted with true professionals in the past, and has a lot of connections to sports and movement specialists in the OC area, I would not recommend this place if you have pre-existing injuries and are looking for coaching on basic OR advanced lifts. EDIT since they wanna be petty: You can also tell the level of in professionalism in Juan's responses--referring to me as an "elitist" when my only complaint was people getting injured, and the fact that I saw PROOF that people were injured lmao, and also the fake prying for more "clarification" is so cringe. Please go find another gym that knows what they're doing and can take feedback in kind. Update as of 7/22/2021: Right after the owner saw my honest review, a burner account decided to creep on my personal social media and bully me in my message requests, I started getting creeps on my Insta stories, and I also got a creepy Yelp message. I will be looking into pursuing legal action. Don't let this happen to you, and just avoid this place. They could be taking the time to better themselves but instead they're bullying a 20-something Asian girl online, as a full fledged business. How embarrassing. Update as of 7/23/2021: The people at this "business" are continuing to creep on my personal social media and are flooding their Yelp page with reviews by their friends and "partners" (READ: they get free membership while you pay them $200/month). If your coach pushes you to injury and then dismisses you when you bring up that injury, they are not a good coach, period. Coaches need to be able to take feedback because the end goal is YOU, the client, NOT Juan's ego. You're not paying for his ego to be stroked, you're paying for professional guidance to reach your goals. Remember that.

Check out their instagram to get an idea of the WODs. They make sure to keep it up to date . Amazing crossfit gym!!

This gym is pretty small, but it has all the equipment you would need for a full strongman class…read more They have group strength training classes Tuesday, Thursday, Friday nights and Sunday morning. The classes have a suggested workout (but you are free to flex it as needed), and the coaches (Shawn, Romark and Martins) are endless perfectionist when it comes to form. The community is super welcoming and everyone cheers people on and helps either with tips or just helping you move weights around. Shawn and Martins really helped me focus on the fundamentals of my squat and deadlift. I have a lot of bad habits to break, and they are constantly trying to help cue me to improve. Martins drops in when he can and obviously its super cool to get lifting advice from the guy who won world's strongest. You can see even see the trophy at the gym!

First and foremost huge fan of Martins Licis. The gym is nice, small and clean! Also having…read moreeverything you relatively need, for strong man training. The equipment is fairly new as well as most of it being from the rogue brand. The community is pretty welcoming even though it's a very small establishment. The biggest complaints are how the business aspect is structured, workouts you pay for, and a staff member. The business aspect was weird like set appointments pay later but like I definitely could of booked the appointment, worked out, and walked out without paying. Now obviously I didn't do that but there are people like that in the world who would take advantage of a situation like that. Next The session you pay for... soooo it's $50-60 for a day pass, once we started working out it was minutes passed the start time, "time is money" and felt like I was cheated a bit, session's are usually an Hour and a half my session started at 5 we began like at 515 and we literally did 3 workouts so kind of a bummer left with no pump and confused on $50 for 3 workouts! Now for the last complaint the staff member. Our coach for that session was Shawn Couch. When working out there was no real demonstration. It was like hey "this is the work out now do it" type of deal. For instance if a person who is a first time lifter walks in doing these lifts with no knowledge or form practice they can seriously injure themselves, and when he did "demonstrate" he took a person of the class to demonstrate it but still comment on what they are doing wrong. It goes with saying if you want something done right you have to do it yourself but he definitely wasn't about that life. He seemed more frustrated about how we weren't lifting correctly than to show us how it's actually done or supposed to look. At the end of our session he demanded that we put everything back, but it was said in a manner of I'm better than you I'm not helping you and walked out. I'm definitely coming back again to see/feel the vibe from the other coaches. I feel that this gym has major potential! But has to rid of certain things for it to blow up.

If I could leave 100 stars I would! I absolutely LOVE Logic Fitness and my awesome trainer Sean…read more One year ago I was feeling really down and could not seem to make myself go to the gym on my own. I found a special that Sean was offering on Groupon for some personal training sessions and decided to try it. Since my very first day of training Sean has made me feel so comfortable. Once my Groupon sessions were over there was no question as to whether or not I would continue training with him. Every session is different and he has tailored my workouts to what my goals are. Even when I change my goals out of the blue, he can restructure whatever we we were going to do that day to accommodate whatever body part it is that I want to work on. I have NEVER been a person that enjoys working out or going to the gym. I have bought memberships in the past and never ended up going because I am very uncomfortable in crowded gyms with a bunch of people around. Gyms also make me feel very self conscious and quite frankly I don't really know much about what to do when I get there. Being able to have a trainer has taken away all the anxiety that I would typically get going to a regular gym. Logic Fitness has had a HUGE positive impact in my life. Sean pushes me farther than I would ever have pushed myself. He makes the whole workout count from beginning to end. I NEVER have to deal with a crowded gym because Logic Fitness is a personal training gym. At best there is one other trainer with their client there. My advice to whoever may be reading this....Go to Groupon and buy the sessions on special. It is such an incredible deal that even if you only go to one session you will still get your monies worth because most trainers cost well over $100 a session. I guarantee that once your Groupon sessions are done you will want to continue training with Sean. It is affordable and totally worth the investment because you are investing in yourself :-)
