I'm not in the way shape and she helps me not to give up when I want to. I tend to faint when I get overheated, and Melissa always works with me to keep me safe and grounded.

She even sends me yummy recipes that make eating healthy feel less intimidating. honestly somewhere along the way I found a friend too.

This review is incredibly overdue, my bad Melissa…read more This gym is for every body type, any background, & everyone. They have group classes (varying between 5-15 people,) small group training (about 3-6 people & priced a little bit more) & personal one-on-one sessions (1-2 people priced a little higher.) You can even drop in & try a class as a walk-in (for less than $20) & see how you like it. Every trainer is different in teaching style, but with the same goal in mind--to get their clients a good workout & good sweat. If you need modifications because of an injury let it be known & they'll tailor it for you. Having the right form is extremely important to me so I appreciate when the trainers would correct me or show us the correct form. I found community here when I wasn't even searching for it. I was reminded to have a strong & positive mindset & that I would only see results if I put in the work. This isn't just a gym. Melissa puts in a lot of hard work, time, energy & dedication to not only her clients, but also in providing equipment that measures up to those same standards. So what are you waiting for? Get in here! I promise you'll leave every sesh feeling sore & sweaty, but also full of endorphins & thankful you moved your body. (Oh! & you can rock the cute merch.)

It's so nice to feel safe in all aspects of the word in that it's a judgement free vibe and to be surrounded by people that want to help and support each other. I credit that tone to Coach D and his style of training...not to mention his great playlists! The flexibility of the class schedule has been a godsend and a huge relief when dealing with LA traffic. I look forward to class and leave feeling so good about myself. I can't say enough good things about The Bakery and I'm so happy I went out of my comfort zone and joined!

In addition to it being my first class in over 4 years, it's also my first Pilates class and I'm 3 months postpartum. This was a great class! I was super sore the following two days. It worked every muscle of my body and I definitely needed it. Our instructor was super sweet, she knew it was my first time and first Pilates class and would come around and fix my form because I definitely needed it. I believe she was the owner based on my conversation with the staff downstairs. It's on 2nd street so depending on what time you go, parking could be a hassle. I went at the 5:30 class and I was able to park at the car wash next door. I really enjoyed this class and the owner and staff was super attentive and sweet. I look forward to returning!

I am grateful that even with modifications to the workouts, I still get a great workout. The owner is intentional about this program that he built and its felt in the overall experience. The trainers align with building supporting and encouraging, even while being firm on you not taking shortcuts ( I'm not bitter...LOL!). My favorite is the huddle at the end. Its special to me to make it thru to the end to be able to huddle as a team and listen for the affirmation of the day. They are always on point! Love this place!

Let me start by saying this: I never write Yelp reviews. I'm honestly lazy when it comes to things…read morelike this, but today's experience at CrossFit Whittier was good enough to make me sit down and write one. I normally train six days a week at la fitness, I have a coach and a nutrition plan, but I always work out alone. Lately, I've felt like my training just isn't enough, especially as I prepare for LAPD. Yesterday during lapd training, we all got smoked. It was embarrassing and a big wake up call, that we're not as prepared as we think we are. This morning, I woke up around 8:30 AM planning my usual long training day, but my gym closed early for the holiday, which frustrated me. Another cadet had told me before, "You should try CrossFit," but she was in last place during our run, so I brushed it off. But after talking to more people, I realized maybe she was right, maybe CrossFit is exactly what we need to improve our conditioning, especially running, which is one of my biggest weaknesses. So I decided to call CrossFit Whittier. Steven picked up. I explained my goals and what I'm preparing for. He didn't try to sell me anything, didn't pressure me, didn't hit me with "you need to sign up first" he simply said, "Come check it out. Come get a workout for free." I showed up, introduced myself, and he showed me around. He put me through a workout, and honestly? It wasn't enough for me, I wanted more. So he gave me an extra workout to do, even though it was Thanksgiving and even though the gym was technically closed. That small extra session kicked my butt in the best way possible and made me realize I was in the right place. What stood out to me the most was that he didn't rush me, didn't send me home, and didn't act like his time was more important. He stayed with me to make sure I was doing the movements correctly. No other business owner would have done that on a holiday. He also gave me a law enforcement discount, which I truly appreciated. I left feeling grateful, motivated, and honestly excited to come back. I'm looking forward to training here every day, getting to know everyone, helping where I can, and pushing myself to be better. Even though today was my first day, this review should show you that the experience was meaningful enough for me to write all this. If one day was this good, I can only imagine what the rest is going to be like. The short workout I did here was already better and more humbling than anything I've done recently at my regular gym. I absolutely recommend CrossFit Whittier to anyone, especially if you're preparing for law enforcement, military, or simply looking to push your limits the right way.

Stank like mildew and smelly shoes, and there was visible mold in the corners. The equipment was never wiped down, and there was literally no one there to speak with about anything.

Not sure what shady businesses this place is shilling for, but they call and leave 5 minute long voicemails of nothing but background noise. What is the point??
