Building a bad ass community! Chris has an unmatched level of energy. Always your biggest hypeman. Class formats always have your heart rate up and get your endorphins pumping. And everyday is something different, it's always great! Plus they have a sauna, cryo, normatec, and ice baths. All you need in one! read more

Double Ops is really a fantastic gym to be apart of. I've been coming here for about a year now and I absolutely love it. The environment is great, the coaches are really engaging and supportive, and the workouts are structured to challenge you and keep you moving. I highly recommend checking it out!! read more

Joined Double Ops about 4 months ago after only running for the last decade. My wife was looking for a new gym and found DOPs through class pass. After trying out basically every gym in Newport Mesa, she fell in love with DOPs. She convinced me to take Chris up on the trial he offered me to change things up. The 6 months prior to joining the gym - I was intermittently running, had several injuries (calves and ankles), and suffered through Covid twice. I was struggling to consistently run, gaining weight and feeling terrible overall. My body no longer felt like it was recovering leaving me feeling exhausted and out of shape. Over the last four months, I've become addicted to the workouts - I go 5 days a week. 3 key things happened as my body physically transformed - I've become functionally strong, my posture has improved and my body is recovering (go take a tour - the recovery equipment has been key to this). I thought I would return to running after doing this for a while, but can't imagine leaving the gym. Chris, Travis, Nico, and the rest of the coaches care about you (they actually know your name), your goals, and your form. They truly want you to be successful within the program and motivate you each workout to do better. They are not your typical trainers - they understand how the body was designed to move and make sure that translates to your workouts. Lastly, the gym is heavily built around community. I go to the 9 AMs and see the same regulars repeatedly. It speaks volumes to the type of gym that DOPs is. In addition to that, Chris hosts local vendors and setups up happy hours to build community amongst the members. Needless to say, I'm invested in the DOPs program and highly recommend it to everyone. read more

This is one of the best HITT workouts you can do for your mind and body. I've tried other places in the area and nothing has the same dialed in programing and solid daily workouts as Double Ops. All of the coaches are great with amazing energy to push you throughout the workout. I've been coming for months and its helped me get in great shape. If you are looking for a workout that doesn't get stale or old come and check this place out, you wont regret it. read more

Double Ops is the best! The coaches are all so knowledgeable and encouraging. So happy to have found this place

Highly recommend double ops! I was getting bored of my old routine and was looking for a new gym. Discovered this hidden gem from class pass and loved the workouts from day 1! The Wednesday and Friday cardio driven days are a butt kicker of a workout! 10/10 read more

I absolutely love this studio! I found it, ironically, on my way to the Crumbl Cookies next door. I've been three times now, and I'm addicted. Chris has amazing energy and welcomes you with open arms. And it kicks your butt, I can already tell a difference in my strength!!! The class format is great too, I love the Heroes class, half strength half cardio. start To finish is a challenge, but so rewarding! read more

Recently joined about three weeks ago and absolutely love coming here. Workouts are efficient and fun! Everyone is very welcoming!

Great gym, awesome instructor-led classes with coaches who keep you working hard and working out safe. Good variety, lots of time slots, and great community have helped me prioritize fitness for the first time in years. read more

The manager here is very distracted. No attention given to any clients during workouts!

I started this workout about 3 months ago and the change I am seeing in my strength, balance and body are amazing. I wasn't sure I could keep up with the other (younger) people in class but I can! Chris and Travis are great trainers. They are always checking my form and ensuring I am doing all the moves correctly. They also challenge and encourage me to keep going and get stronger. This is a great place to change your life! read more

Great circuit training type gym with a nice mix of cardio and strength training. The staff and gym members are super friendly and welcoming. The format of the classes has a wide variety of movements which makes the time feel like it's flying by. I always get a great workout when I come here. Definitely recommend! read more

A long overdue review but I couldn't have better things to say about DoubleOps and Chris himself! I used to think that I hated group exercise... until I found the DOP family! I've fully abandoned my gym membership and all other random forms of exercise. It's nice to have somewhere to go for a tough (but do-able) workout where the morale is high and the people are great. Don't wait any longer to get your a$$ in here! read more

Double Ops in Newport Mesa is a great class for those who want to work hard and see results while doing so in a fun environment! The classes are tough but doable. Chris and the staff are awesome instructors and are always there to make sure your form is correct and that your questions are answered! I would recommend this class to anyone who enjoys HIIT workouts and functional workout classes. read more

This is long overdue. Double Ops is my favorite gym for workout classes. I've been a member for the past 6 months and I feel stronger, and more importantly I have a blast here. Chris's energy is infectious - he is so positive and encouraging. Travis is so kind and a great teacher - always there to help you with your form. All of the trainers here remember and call you by name. You feel like family. Every single class feels challenging and fun. When I went to other gyms I'd count the minutes til it was over, but at Double Ops those 54 minutes go by in a flash. There is no dread, but only excitement to come back the following morning. It's just the right amount of cardio (I'm more of a weights person, so I'm glad that's the main focus). Every friend I've taken here has said Double Ops is a better workout/more fun than Barry's. A passionate group of people that make you feel cared for. Couldn't have asked for a better neighborhood gym. read more

The team is amazing! Not only did they help snap my body back into shape after pregnancy, alongside ensuring that the workouts were safe during pregnancy. Highly recommend checking it out and becoming a member! read more

I've had a great experience so far at Double Ops. In the two months I've been here I've gotten in the best shape I've been in for years and look forward to continued progress. read more

I have been working out with Double Ops for a long time. This studio is amazing. It changes my body shape and my lifestyle. Every coach I encountered are friendly and really good at pushing you to the next level. Unlike other studio, they do not just stopped there, they will also patiently correct your position( which is very important ). This studio has a great vide and hope everyone reading this review will also enjoy it! read more

This has been a game changer in my work out routine. They accommodate all levels and i can already see a difference. Highly recommend

I have been coming here now for over a year. This is the best gym/studio I have been a member of. It is consistently a great workout that is always challenging and fun. I never experience any burnout or boredom because the classes change all the time. The coaches are awesome and make you want to come in everyday. I can't recommend it enough! read more

I found Double Ops on a complete whim. I wasn't at all thinking of joining a gym or studio because I'm currently unemployed after a mass layoff. I emailed Chris because I saw something on IG about their 8 week challenge for new members. He offered to let me try a class for free to check out the studio and once I took my first class I was hooked. Not only was Chris so awesome for being understanding of my situation and wanting to find a way to help me out, but you can just tell by how he and all the other instructors interact with the members that they genuinely care about the individual and their progress. He did a thorough consultation with me to discuss my background and goals, which really built a lot of trust. This isn't just a run-of-the-mill gym/fitness studio - there is something for everyone here. I'm semi new to strength training, but Double Ops is an inclusive environment so I feel like I fit in. As in - you could be a total beginner and you would still feel welcomed and not like you're being left behind and then on the other end, you could already be a beast and absolutely be pushed to new levels. There's so many ways to modify or add on to the intensity and the instructors are great at helping you gauge where you need to focus. I'm only on my second week of classes, but every single class I've taken so far has been a fun, dynamic, TOUGH challenge that has pushed me in really incredible ways. Everything is great. The music is amazing. The circuits are creative and difficult and the teachers give all the guidance and coaching you could ever want. I'm really grateful I've found this spot and I know that I'll become a full time member as soon as I'm in a better financial situation. Highly highly recommend Double Ops if you're either bored with your current routine, looking for something to supplement your existing routine, feeling stuck or stagnant or just looking to be pushed out of your comfort zone. read more

Great workout! Saturday assaults are no joke! Followed by normatec and/or sauna. Love that they have it all under one roof!

Joined double ops in January. Love the vibes! I have seen amazing results and Travis is the best!

Amazing workout!! Was looking for a new workout place after doing my same routine every single day. I tried out double ops and fell in love with the good energy that is always in every class. The workouts are very effective and the coaches are incredible!! Already seeing amazing results! Highly recommend! read more

I've been to almost every gym in the OC and I have to say this was an instant join for me. Here's what I love most about the gym: super friendly and welcoming community, trainers are dedicated to ensuring you have proper form so you don't get hurt and this is the best shape I've ever been in because of Double Ops. There's truly nothing like it. read more

Double Ops is an incredible studio! I came while visiting Newport Beach and got a killer workout. I would highly recommend this studio to anyone who is serious about their health or fitness goals. The trainers were super encouraging and gave individualized attention and corrections. I will be back next time I'm in town! read more

This place is all time! The classes are fun and challenging. The coaches are so knowledgeable and helpful. Great vibe, love getting my day started here! Classes will kick your butt and the wellness services from the cold plunge to the sauna will help you recover. You'll be feeling and looking your best! read more

Loving Double Ops. Fantastic variety in the strength training workouts. High quality trainers in a great workout environment. Best gym in the Newport Mesa area. read more

I've been going to double ops for a year now and my body has totally transformed!! It definitely pushes you but brings major results. Highly recomend joining! read more

Recently started working out at this gym and let me just say it's absolutely wonderful! The workouts absolutely kick your butt in the best way possible! I feel so accomplished and strong after each session! I met Chris and he is an amazing trainer! Highly recommend this gym to anyone! read more

Awesome place to train and workout! The workouts are intense and super fun. The trainers are all very attentive and considerate. This is a great community with workouts that never bore or disappoint! read more

Such an amazing place to workout!! The most welcoming environment with great coaches!! Couldn't recommend more for any level of fitness!

So glad my friend had me try this spot out. The workouts are tough but fly by and are super fun. The owner is really cool and encouraging and no workout is ever the same. I love how these classes also have a focus on performance and balance, as well as strength training. read more

Great customer service and great workouts! Chris and Lindsay are the best. Highly recommend.

I tried out a few of the classes at Double Ops through class pass and I'm hooked. Travis was super attentive and gave me tons of great tips to fix my form during the strength stations. He also was the best hype man keeping me going during the cardio stations. The owner, Chris, grew up in the area and has great energy- you can tell how much he truly cares about each and every one of his members. I have tried out many of the gyms in the Newport/CM area that offer circuit training classes and love double ops for these reasons: 1. Small class sizes/individualized corrective training during work outs 2. Sense of community 3. Variety of strength and cardio exercises that vary class to class 4. Amazing trainers/owner who truly care about their members 5. Access to recovery rooms upstairs (cryotherapy, sauna, ice bath, and leg compression sleeves/comfy chairs) 6. A place where my husband and I can both workout together (many of the gyms are very female dominant) 7. Easy parking. Highly recommend giving Double Ops a try! read more

Alright people... this place is WORTH THE HYPE! This review is especially for all you ladies who are afraid of weights and getting bulky. I was a CorePower junkie before this and love the sweat I got from the heated room BUT I always felt drained after and my body was never as sculpted as I wanted it to be. I started coming to Double Ops Newport-Mesa about a year ago and I am SO glad I've converted to lifting weights and looking my BEST EVER. I've dropped the pounds I wanted and finally am at my goal weight but even more... I feel freaking FANTASTIC. I feel so energized and am so stoked to hit my DOPs classes each week. It's also so so much fun and even though it's always a challenging and burning workout... the community/teachers make it so enjoyable. I'll never go back to my "yoga only" workout routine. Do yourself a favor and check out DOPs... you WILL NOT regret it read more

I've had the best experience here. I've been going to double ops for about 2 months now and have noticed a significant increase in my strength and body composition. Both Chris and Travis are incredible trainers! If you're just starting out on your fitness journey, the trainers will work with you to help you get to where you want to be. I would 110% recommend double ops to anyone! read more

Great workout programs! Easy to sign up for classes on their app. Super clean spot with recovery machines upstairs.

Everything you want in a detailed workout with great instruction! The equipment and instructors are great and there is such a great vibe here! Definitely recommend this place if you want to see results fast and meet some great people :) read more

I love double ops! After just two weeks, I have seen a huge difference in my body and strength. I didn't feel this strong at a year of other similar studios. It is by far the most challenging with the biggest reward. Chris is the best too! He corrects movements so functionality is better as well. Definitely recommend coming here! read more
