I have been going for 16 weeks now and I can honestly say that I have never felt better. Not only have I lost weight, but I have also gained self-confidence and a sense of accomplishment. The staff at this gym are incredibly supportive and encouraging, and the facilities are top-notch. The equipment is always clean and well-maintained, and the atmosphere is friendly and welcoming. I have tried other gyms in the past, but none have come close to the experience I have had at this one. If you are looking for a gym where you can achieve your fitness goals and feel great about yourself in the process, look no further than this one. Thank you for everything, and keep up the great work! Thank you head trainer John

He has been amazing! I enjoy my workouts and I am getting great results as noticed by numerous friends who've observed that I've gained muscle and redistributed weight.

I could not recommend this gym enough for people who want to maintain or improve their physical well being by working with a personal trainer. John the owner is top notch as well.

I am 84 with arthritis in my knees and Melissa has worked with me to strengthen my legs to take the pressure off my knees. Added to that is strength training for the whole body. I thank Whole Body and Melissa for keeping me healthy.

They both went above & beyond for any questions or needs that myself & guests/members had. The atmosphere was energetic, welcoming & a whole vibe.

A few people that were stuck underground with all of us "I assume regulars mentioned this happens more frequently than infrequently."

I feel like so many of the gyms in the area are one-speed only and here it is super helpful that they are structured to allow the customization for the individual. I've been to classes with both Nick and Meg and they were both great. The Wicked themed class with Meg was particularly fun and great energy from everyone at the class. I also like how they're super conscientious of cleaning down all the machines and workout tools which you also don't always see at other gyms.

He made me feel welcome and excited to get into my fitness journey. Throughout the months I've trained with Kasey, Sanam, and Macty. They are a dope, knowledgeable, and positive energy POWER trio who I have enjoyed working out with. Never before had I looked forward this much to gym sessions! Even with the quarantine going on currently, they've managed to adapt and still express their attentiveness and care through webcam/ Zoom. Overall, being at Essers has challenged me. They've helped me step out of my comfort zone, upped my confidence, strength, and they continue to look for ways I can improve. I have a completely different mindset because of this gym. I highly recommend trying it out!

The membership fees are a bit less than some high-end or boutique gyms, but are still pretty steep for what you get. The location is also rather inconvenient, and the overall atmosphere at Essers of LA feels small, claustrophobic and unimpressive. In comparison, some other gyms are more expensive, but you get what you pay for--offering a more comfortable and well‑situated experience. When they state their gym lacks the "bells and whistles" of a certain competitor, they mean it. Also, I had my car window smashed in once while parking there, so beware!!

With Alex's background in crossfit, we were able to go over some key movements and lifts that are perfect for those just beginning or have a moderate level of experience in the gym. Having very limited crossfit experience myself, he was really great and super thorough when explaining each movement and how they should feel in the body. The best part? He did this all over Zoom and I was able to complete the program with 3 other friends all on the same call. The program is structured to cover stretching/mobility, strength, and then conditioning. Each session was 50-60minutes and there was about 20-30 minutes of stretching and instruction and then a 20-30 min workout. We also each met with Alex individually so that he could understand our fitness levels and fitness goals. I don't have any fancy equipment at home, but I do have 2 dumbbells and that was enough to complete the 6-week program. I highly recommend Alex if you're looking for some personal and/or virtual instruction, especially if you're just starting out with strength training!
