I'm so glad I joined the 60-day challenge and was introduced to this awesome gym and community! I had no idea these classes would challenge me in the best way possible. After 2 foot surgeries I completed the challenge with amazing results. I improved muscle mass and dropped body fat. The coaches, Jazmin and Shannon, are incredible, always so motivating and helping everyone with form and proper technique. The community built here by the members and management is truly one of a kind. read more

I can't say enough good things about Hardcore Fitness Pasadena--this place is absolutely next level. From the moment you walk in, the energy is unmatched. The coaches are incredibly motivating, knowledgeable, and genuinely invested in helping you succeed, no matter your fitness level. Every workout is challenging but fun, and they do an amazing job of keeping things fresh so you never get bored. The structure, the music, the vibe--it all comes together to push you harder than you thought possible. I've seen real results in my strength, endurance, and overall confidence since joining. I especially have to give a shoutout to Coach Jazmin -- she is amazing. She brings so much energy to every class, pays attention to everyone's form, and really pushes you to do your best while still making the workouts fun. You can tell she genuinely cares about the members and wants everyone to succeed. What really sets this place apart is the community. Everyone is supportive, encouraging, and there's zero judgment--just people showing up and putting in the work together. If you're looking for a place that will push you, inspire you, and actually make you look forward to working out, Hardcore Fitness Pasadena is it. Highly, highly recommend! read more

My time at Hardcore Fitness was simply the best! Carmen is more than just an owner; she is also a homeowner; this is her home. She ensures that everyone has a great time and that no one is judged based on their current ability. She also facilitates the growth of everyone's physical, dietary, and mental health.  The selection of coaches is phenomenal. Each one brings their unique talents to the workout session, but they all have in common a genuine passion for every gym member to reach their fitness goal. They try their hardest to modify workouts to make them accessible and fun. My experience is not only reflected in getting to know a fantastic community and family, but it's also a testament to the strong sense of belonging that Hardcore Fitness fosters.  If you are already a fitness buff pushing to the next level, looking to enhance your technique or just a beginner, this place will feel like home. read more

I love Hardcore Fitness! I've been coming to this gym for over 4years! It's the one gym I've never gotten bored of. Everyday is a new split schedule set up. It's the only gym I've been to that has truly built my overall body. Their trainers are always energetic and are there to help you with your form and push you to work harder on your strength. Definitely a gym to join! read more

I've been going to Hardcore fitness in Pasadena for a couple years now. They have a variety of equipment that allows you to get a good workout in and push yourself. They also offer a fight camp class that's a great quick 30 min cardio workout. The facility is clean, the coaches are all so friendly, and the members are great! If you're looking for a gym that will have all the equipment you need while providing guidance to your workout then this is perfect for you. read more

Great gym/bootcamp in Pasadena that has a nice family feel. A former trainer of another gym that I had gone to was working here and told me to come check it out. I signed up for the 5 day pass on the website and got a few texts from the owner and a trainer inquiring about my goals. I started this week and did 4 out of the 5 days. Each class was a different body part and I had a different instructor each time, each with their own style and music. The class is 5 8 minute stations with 2-3 exercises per station. You either do a certain set of reps or 45 secs to 1 minute per rep. You can choose to do certain exercises if you want to get lean or you can switch off between. Overall the classes were good and really kicked your butt. Some exercises I was not used to and didn't feel as natural, but still made you sweat. I haven't checked out the "kick boxing" room, just worked out in the main room. They have morning classes, then open gym in the afternoon and then resume classes in the late afternoon. There are two restrooms - no showers, which they are supposed to get after they take over next door in 6+ months. Overall a great gym to get a real hardcore workout. Some of the instructors are better than others, but not really sure how its scheduled since I had a different one every time. I might consider joining once they got the showers in order and maybe added some hand sanitizer stations! Membership is about $129 per month, but you can do $15 drop ins whenever you want, which is cool. read more

TL;DR: Joining hardcore fitness has been the best decision I've ever made! Great trainers, clean gym, with the best equipment and classes! I've know the owners Carmen and Jovan awhile before joining by doing a pop-up here and one thing that never left me was the friendly environment they have between members and trainers. I decided to finally join in December of 2020 to enter into the new year beginning on my fitness journey. It's now March of 2021 and I have seen more results than I have working out on my own (down over 18lbs!) They have HIIT style classes and bootcamp style classes to help you reach your goals. I recommend doing one of their 60 day challenges where you get a personalized meal plan and workout schedule to help you reach your goal. It's never a core coming in to workout anymore, seeing regular members and working with the trainers really makes it like a second family! I also appreciate the fact that the owners take our health into consideration by requiring masks for everyone in the gym, requiring temperature checks for everyone, as well as the use of sanitizing wipes between workouts (they also sanitize after every class). Definitely give this place a try if you are ready to meet your goals! read more

Hardcore Fitness is the BEST!! I love this place. The trainers are super informed while not being irritating! They give us space, but also do a great job with correcting our form and pushing us to do better!! My body has totally transformed since coming here! Thanks, Carmen, Jovan and the whole crew!! read more

Love the gym and the people ! Booty camp forever ! It is indeed my favorite class! Hope you start enjoying it!

Hardcorefitness pasadena is not only a gym we are family. This is an excellent place to workout on your goals. We are a private gym with likeminded people who are all here to work on getting better daily. We put on a lot of challenges and events. Coach Keith and Coach Joe are amazing and truly care about everyone's goals. Come check us out you won't regret it!!!!! read more

Moved from VA to CA during the pandemic in 2020, hopped around different gyms that fits my work schedule and found this gem! Professional and friendly employees from management to coaches and front desk staff. Members of the gym are awesome! (Shout out to my 7pm peeps!) Coaches (Nick, Isaiah and Cam) motivates and pushes you to do your best each class you take and walk you through proper form and technique. As a Physical Therapist, I would bounce around ideas from them and learn new techniques/exercise modifications that I would use at work when dealing with my patients. Sadly, I would have to move out of the state soon, but this community made me grow and helped me become a better version of myself. read more

I have been with HCFP for a little over two years now. This is the only gym that I have utilized consistently, EVER!! They are a smaller gym but they definitely give the big boys a run for their money. The trainers are very knowledgeable and friendly. The owners are very approachable and always remember your name as does the front desk staff. They have BootCamp, Fight Camp, (great for stress relief btw), personal training, (one on one, partner, and small group sessions), LiveStream workouts in the event you want to workout at home or on the go, as well as different challenges throughout the year. They have done a great job adapting to the current guidelines. They are extremely diligent in following the current covid restrictions. They practice social distancing, require temperature taking on entry, mask wearing at all times by staff and members, and they provide antibacterial wipes to wipe down all equipment. The workouts are varied and challenging but definitely doable. I also love that the other members are welcoming to all. If you are interested in meeting a great group of people while getting fit and having fun... hit them up and tell them Jackie sent you Oh and did I mention the ProShop has yummy nutritious meals, snacks, drinks, and supplements for your enjoyment read more

Hardcore Fitness - Pasadena - Funtimes with the HCF PASADENA Family! - Gyms Near Me - Pasadena, California

Omigosh, there are no words for how much I LOVE THIS GYM. If I get too far into it, I'll get overly emotional. This is one of those magical places where you FEEL the love from everybody, whether it's the employees or the members. Everyone you interact with is genuinely supportive and it just makes SUCH a difference. The trainers know their stuff, and know when to really push you (in the most encouraging way). The members are friendly and helpful, none of this judging or competitive nonsense. The class format keeps you engaged, so that an hour of boot camp absolutely flies by, and the next thing you know, you're high five-ing the trainer and heading home, most likely having hit a personal milestone. I'm so grateful that I live near this gym, but even if I didn't, I'd still make the trek, it's just that great! read more

High five to the owner of this gym! Since this pandemic began she has fought and fought to keep this gym open for all members during the pandemic which has been a great help for everyone to at least have one thing NORMAL since this pandemic began. From owners to trainers and members themselves they continue to follow CDC guidelines to ensure everyone is SAFE & doors are still kept open. PreCOVID & now the owners of this gym have the best intentions for EVERYONE. This gym is not your normal gym, we've all become Family, we push one another regardless of our fitness level. This is an environment you can feel safe with no judgements just encouragement to be the best version of yourself. This gym deserves more than 5 stars, they go above and beyond since they've open their doors & everyone will agree. Carmen THANK YOU! We appreciate everything you've done from day one! read more

Hardcore Fitness - Pasadena - G Y M - Gyms Near Me - Pasadena, California

Absolutely love this gym. Not only did I gain 10lbs of muscle, I meet amazing people and made friends. It's like my second family. You know, the ones you like to be with, not the ones you got by birth (I love both though). The trainers are fun and energetic (they LOVE to push you even if you complain a little). They've helped to correct my form which wasn't too bad, but the little tweaks helped to make such a difference. At 43, I'm stronger than I have ever been. If you are scared because you have injures, don't be. I was hit by a car in my mid 20's. There are things that are still hard for me to do. They have modifications to help me out. What I love...... they have screens to show what the exercises are at each station that usually show up to 3 different levels of the exercises. OMG... it's a no brainer. I've had so many memberships at so many places.... by far the best. Weight lifting at so many levels. No one feels alone, stupid, or like it's over their heads. I swear.... my dead lifts started at 65lbs, I couldn't do a box jump, my squats.... pitiful....... well I won't give all my stats but everything has increased dramatically like a whole different person is doing it. I obviously can't say enough. So I'll stop now! Go join! read more

I'm so grateful for Hardcore Fitness. Before I joined, I never felt comfortable joining a gym, especially working with weights. I realized quickly how the trainers here are non-judgemental and down to earth. They help you with your form and motivate you. Thank you Hardcore Pasadena! read more

I took a small break and came back. Trainers there currently are knowledgeable and each have their own specialty background they bring to each class. read more

This is honestly one of the best gyms I've ever been to, and I've been to a lot! All the trainers are super friendly and very helpful! Owners are super nice! I call this place my second home I've been a member here for almost 2 years! And even with thru these Covid times , they really make it a safe place for all of us. With sanitizing buckets at every station, that get wiped down by each member after being used, masks required by everyone, and YES, WE ALL WEAR THEM. I highly recommend this gym/'my second home! read more

I have been coming to HCF pasadena for about a year and a half now. Genuinely one of the best gyms I've ever been to, I attend morning and/or evening classes 6 times a week Affordability - Super affordable in terms of bootcamp gyms around the area (I've been a member at quite a few in pasadena) Style - There are weighted bootcamp style classes with different stations - There are also cardio fight camp classes with heart rate monitors so you can track your heart rate and calories burned during class - Gym challenges are available to help you get to your goals with accountability - Music is amazing! Trainers - Each trainer has their own unique style and they design the workouts to really push you out of your comfort zone - The trainers come around to help you on your form and tempo while you are at a station - I've often asked for modified workouts because of my injuries and the trainers always come through with something awesome for me! Covid Policies - The gym goes above and beyond by providing really top notch wipes (these wipes are effective against viruses) and hand sanitizer - The trainers wear masks and remind people to wear their masks - Gym members have time to wipe down and clean up after every station with the sanitation wipes - After every class the coaches spray down the equipment with sanitizing spray - Restrooms are clean and maintained well Teamwork - I've met so many great people I call friends now from just being a regular here - Any class I'm a part of I feel a real sense of accomplishment and I have a lot of fun with the people I work out with! Personal results - I have a shoulder and hamstring injury. Doing push ups on my knees and Bulgarian squats were impossible at one time. I can now do both with the knowledge and help of the trainers - I gained weight during covid and with the encouragement and direction of all the trainers I've lost about 17lbs and will continue! - Found a lot of encouragement and accountability with being part of one of the gyms challenges read more

Awesome trainers, great workouts, and ungodly amounts of sweat and pumpage. Need I say more? Haha

I have been going to hardcore for over a year now and I love my daily workout and especially the friends I met ! PT are absolutely badasses! and we never have a boring day! read more

Where do I even start? This gym is amazing!!! I started coming to this gym in September last year and ever since have become stronger and more confident. The class is set up with 5 stations and there are TVs at each one to tell you what the specific workout is. I love it because they focus on strength training but they also have HIIT classes you can take too! What I love most about this gym though are the trainers and other members. It's a wonderful community to be in because everyone is honestly so nice, welcoming and everyone cheers each other on. You can make life long friendships here! The trainers Cam, Isaiah and Chandler are so friendly, very knowledgeable, pushes you and all have high energy to pump you up! They also offer PT sessions and let me tell you, the transformations here are *chefs kiss*! The owner Carmen and Jovan are hands down amazing and are very involved with all the members and even take the classes with us! The gym is also very clean and we wipe down all the equipment before we switch to another station. They also have an InBody scan which you can use any time you want to track your progress. They also sell clothing merch, yummy protein snacks/baked goods/drinks and supplements. Front staff are always so friendly and nice as well. Honestly after reading this, why haven't you signed up yet? Also for everything you get here, the monthly is reasonable and affordable! Come check them out, honestly you won't regret it! read more

Been to many gyms in Pasadena and it's rare to find one with strong community that makes you feel included and motivated to arrive and put in work. A huge part of this are the trainers and the energy they bring. Shout-out to the great trainers creating a fun and challenging environment for everyone! read more

I've been an aspiring gym rat my entire life but never quite felt motivated to stay consistent until I joined HCF 5 months ago. All the trainers are personable, motivating and more than willing to support you in reaching your personal goals. The staff foster an atmosphere that makes EVERYONE, at any fitness level feel comfortable, safe, supported, and encouraged. It was really hard to find a gym where I felt safe during the pandemic but it was really obvious that they have taken the necessary precautions to keep its members safe. it's the only gym I know that includes a nutrition plan in the membership cost. They have every aspect of fitness culture covered. Every class is an experience, every trainer is guide. They make it utterly impossible not to crush your fitness goals. Lastly you don't have to worry about making monthly payments to something you don't use. A staff member will take the time to reach out and check in with you if you stop showing up. I really needed that in the beginning!!! read more

This is Not A Good Fitness Club to go Too. This Fitness Club Lied About Their Services. read more

I tried out so many gyms in Pasadena and Los Angeles and this is by far the best one I have ever gone to. The people who workout there are so warm and encouraging. There are also so many different levels of fitness and those who are stronger are always encouraging or helping out those who ask for it. The trainers are also so wonderful. They don't jut sit on the sidelines but they come around and help with form or make the workout harder if you need it. They also really get to know you so they know who to push, what injuries you have, etc. I cannot say enough good things. We are moving to Ventura County and my hope is one day it expands there because I don't think I will find a gym as good as HF. read more

Ive been a memeber since theyve been open and I LOOOVE my gym !!! They are always there to help you with your goals any questions you might have no matter what your fitness level is and I feel like Im not just another number to them =-) Everyone from the trainers to the owners are always smiling and in positive mood!! read more

The gym has a family atmosphere where the owners know our names and members are not just a number to them.
