The session was totally about me and my goals. I recommend him and Raphael for someone just starting out or starting back to the gym because they are so patient and kind to you and your body.

My program is tailored to my specific needs (my hobby is ballroom dancing) and evolves as those needs change over time.

If you're eyeing an early morning (6am) or weekend class, definitely book ahead! They fill up fast -- for good reason.

This studio has met my needs well beyond my wildest expectations. I am happy that they morph with the latest evidence on what makes a person fit (within bounds of the equipment they provide for us). A few shout outs to other awesome instructors - Erin, Julie M., Katie, Sarah A., Robin (so strong), Holly, Amber (so funny), Katrina, and the inimitable Jenny. They (and so many more) make Coreology a human community. I always enter a tad bit uneasy and leave fully sweated knowing I survived an amazing work out. Thanks Coreology for welcoming my wife and me into such a great community.

We love the wide variety of equipment--after five weeks (2x/wk), we're still discovering new machines and routines.

I did a LOT of research and narrowed it down to 2 trainers. Brent got back to me almost immediately and has been with his finger on my pulse ever since. As others have noted he's intelligent, knowledgeable and warm. His attitude is welcoming no matter what and he knows how to keep each and every session interesting and yes, fun. TRX, Crosscore, weights, flying... its all part of his programs. He also gives home workouts which are challenging, new and advanced, tailored to each client based on level, equipment etc. You go in for a trainer and leave with a friend. Highly recommended!!

Don't get me wrong Tamsin can highly motivate when necessary but understands when a softer touch is needed.

Walking into this location feels less like a gym and more like a guided tour…read more Exhibit A -- Cardio Hall. Here we observe machines at least three generations behind what's running at other Equinox clubs. Remarkably well preserved. Please do not touch. Exhibit B -- The Palette. Yellowed satin white with pale blue painted accents. The palette follows conventions of the historical period; artisans remain unidentified. Reads Bay Club, not Equinox. Exhibit C -- Storage. This is how early humans secured their belongings: you brought a lock from home. Those who arrived without one -- as I did -- left the door open and trusted in God. Other Equinox locations have at least advanced to the rotating dial. Fifteen years ago my hometown gym opened lockers with a fingertip. Three years ago, with a face. Now, seriously -- none of this is hard to fix, and all of it is below the standard the brand charges for: 1. Cardio. A refresh is one request to headquarters away. Ask. 2. Paint. Reset to a clean pure white. Swap the blue accent for acoustic wood slat panels -- vertical battens on a black backing. Low cost, immediate lift, and it's the current Equinox language. 3. Lockers. Change the locks. Bring-your-own-padlock isn't acceptable at this price point. Keypad or RFID at minimum. Credit where it's due: the staff were friendly and respectful throughout, and I was here only as a visitor. But as it stands, this isn't a club I'd want as my home gym. Hopefully they've made some changes by the next time I'm in the area.

I have been a member since the first day this location opened, and I continue to be impressed by…read morehow well it is managed. The manager and staff run the facility with professionalism, consistency, and genuine care for members. The gym is extremely clean -- there are always three staff members on the floor actively sanitizing machines, wiping surfaces, and keeping the bathrooms and showers spotless. My wife and I were members at Equinox for several years, paying nearly $400 a month, and the difference is night and day. At Equinox, the staff were often rude, and the machines and locker rooms were cleaned only every few days. Here, cleanliness is continuous and visible. Of course, like any gym, there are members of all ages and backgrounds, and not everyone is equally neat -- especially in the locker rooms. But the staff here address issues immediately. They take pride in maintaining a clean, safe, and comfortable environment. For the level of service we receive, the membership price is extremely reasonable. I also use the spa regularly and have been very happy with it, even though some members occasionally ignore posted rules. The staff still handle these situations professionally. My wife and I come five times a week, and we truly enjoy it. I highly recommend this gym and want to thank the manager, staff, and floor team for keeping this place clean, welcoming, and enjoyable.

Be aware of the fee structure at Fitness 19 Palos Verdes…read more In my experience, the pricing was misleading and resulted in a surprise charge. I paid a $79 enrollment fee when joining, and then about 60 days later I was charged another $59 "annual maintenance fee." This second charge was not explained to us when we signed up. They didn't mention it at all. Fitness 19 says the fee is included in the agreement, but my concern is how it was actually presented during the sales process. I did not understand that I would be paying $138 in enrollment/annual fees in addition to the monthly membership. These are outdated sales tactics, and they are not acceptable in any industry; especially in a lifestyle and wellness business where trust and transparency should matter. Palos Verdes residents please be aware of this before signing up. Ask specifically about all enrollment fees, annual fees, and charges that will occur after joining before you agree to the membership. I personally would have considered other local gyms if this full fee structure had been made clear to me upfront.
