I love Ralph's class. Ralph is such a hardcore trainer/coach. He always pushes me to hit my maximum heart rate needed to improve and develop my fitness game. I wouldn't reach the level of where I'm at now without his motivation and training. He literally pushes me until I can't even. The class encompasses kickboxing, running, and strength training. It truly is an all body work out with a mixture of aerobic and anaerobic exercise. If you're trying to lose weight or just up your fitness level, I totally recommend Ralph's class or him as a personal trainer. He will help you reach all of your fitness goals. Also the music in his class is straight fuego. Can't wait for the next class. Thanks again! read more

Amazing full body workout targeting speed, endurance, and strength For the beginners recommend talking to the instructor to estimate your limit since the workout can push your limit read more

Looking for a new class to shake up my workout routine. Signed up online and was down to try it out since it was advertised as the first class free. But as soon as I got there the instructor met me at door and told me they don't have a free first class and I can pay the $30 drop in fee so I left. Bummer I wasted my workout time. Leaving the screenshot of the website and review until they update. read more

HIIT-It - Cardio Classes Near Me - Los Angeles, California

I just finished my first HIIT class, and it was amazing! Laura, who was shadowing today, was super hands-on and supportive. The class had three parts - boxing/kickboxing, treadmill, and floor exercises. It was challenging, but Laura's encouragement kept me going. Coach Christian was also pushing us to give our best. I felt a bit intimidated at first, but the friendly atmosphere made it enjoyable. HIIT-It is definitely worth it, just be ready to feel the burn! 5/5 stars! Also, I brought my own boxing gloves but my partner didn't and they let him use one :) read more

There's a magical trifecta at work here! Something about the running/boxing/weight combination works - and it works fast! Came to HIIT-it Pasadena and in just TWO weeks achieved my weight goals, strengthened my core, and improved my form.

HIIT-It - Indoor/Outdoor Workouts!! - Cardio Classes Near Me - Los Angeles, California

I've been a member for almost a year and really enjoy the workouts at this gym. I have tried many different workouts , CrossFit was too physically demanding, Barre method classes, not enough physically demanding - but HIIT IT at Pasadena was just the right fit. Challenging workouts with great results. I have definitely seen not only physical results but also better health results (according to my recent Dr. Appt visit :) ) Intimate type gym - Coach Ralph and Coach Christian are really motivating trainers and help push you through the workouts in a very encouraging way to help give you confidence, mental strength and of course physical strength :) read more

Honestly Coach Ralph changed my life. I was never consistent with working out. I would cancel multiple memberships and leave the gym feeling like I didn't do enough. I'm telling you, this place is a GEM!! As busy as he is, he makes sure that you are getting the most out of your time here. Literally pushes you to your limit. I feel myself getting so strong. I am WIPED OUT after every workout and I love it!!!! Thanks Ralph, you saved my life. Literally! read more

With so many group exercise classes to choose from in the area, this gym stands out for a number of reasons: 1. It's not boring - you move through three stations: treadmill, punching bag and floor work with weights. 2. Staff are all so friendly and helpful. If you haven't worked out in a while or never boxed, hate running they'll help you feel comfortable and improve your skills. 3. It def feels like family - you see familiar faces and get to know new people you end up seeing everyday. 4. Results - before you know it you're running will improve, endurance, strength and overall health. So glad I started coming here. Also, if you lack motivation or structure in your workouts at a regular gym, this place is for you. Music is great, trainers are great, class availability is great too! read more

Just became a member here after attending frequently through ClassPass. HIIT-it has the most complete workout. Every training is challenging, pushes me to new limits and works up a major sweat. Ralph is an excellent trainer who gives personalized guidance and motivation and truly wants you to meet your goals. I saw progress in my strength and endurance pretty quickly. Love the music and appreciate the cleanliness of the gym too! Members are very friendly :) read more

Come to this gym only if you want results! I have been working out consistently for a few years now and have never been able to get rid of the pesky weight I have gained in my 30s. That is UNTIL I came to Hiit-it. In 3 months I've lost 15 pounds. These workouts actually work. And outside of the weight loss, my fitness level is so much higher than it was when I was than just 3 months ago. Hikes and runs are a breeze now. Coach Ralph serves drill sergeant energy and will not let you slack. Coach Christian serves best friend who tells you the truth when you need to hear it energy. If you want to be pushed and actually make changes, this is the right place for you. read more

Been coming here for a few months now and, wow, what an improvement I've made in both my running and boxing! I enjoy the concept of the class which splits the hour to running on the treadmill, boxing and a HIIT type of workout. Every class is different and has a different focus- strength vs endurance vs speed. I always come out of the class drenched and sometimes sore for a couple days. I've ran at a speed I didn't ever think was possible and I appreciate all the instructors' encouragement to keep on going. Can't wait to hiit it again next week! read more

I look forward to my workouts thanks to HIIT-IT! Ralph always makes sure to give us fun and energetic workouts. You can always expect a variety of exercises that definitely leave you feeling accomplished and like Ralph likes to say, "SHREDDED!" If you're looking for someone who will keep you motivated and a community of people working towards the same goal, you've come to the right place. :) read more

I love Hiit- it Pasadena small group training!! It's always a great workout with lots of variety. Always a friendly atmosphere with the right balance of challenge, support and community so you can meet your fitness goals. There are plenty of weights and equipment along with plenty of room. There's also a large outdoor patio space that is used for part of the workout. I really appreciate the opportunity to be outdoors and the variety it provides. Ralph is an amazing and knowledgeable trainer who always motivates you to do your best and challenge yourself. The location is super convenient, clean, bright and the parking is incredibly easy. read more

I have been to many group classes consistently for 20 years including CrossFit, spin, hiit, lagree etc and I've never felt so awkward before. This was probably one of my worst experiences. When I arrived the trainer didn't introduce himself or ask about any injuries. He did give me a complimentary small bottle of water and boxing gloves which was nice. I said I had never boxed and didn't know proper form but he said to "just hit the bag" sorry but I've had enough injuries through my life to take form seriously, I'm not going all out on something unless I'm sure I'm doing it correctly. I felt so awkward that he didn't help me or teach any technique, or give any modifications. Maybe instead of spending 18 (!) minutes on static stretching in the beginning he could switch that to 5-10 min of dynamic stretching and leave some time for instructing proper form. read more

Hiit It Pasadena gives me the absolute best and most complete full body workout experience of my life! Coach Ralph and the other trainers provide the perfect blend of motivation, expertise and fun in their workouts. The sets are modifiable for all ability levels and age groups, and I always leave feeling good about the work I put in. The energy is always on point, and you can really see the positive body transformations in yourself and your classmates! Regular group classes are fantastic, and I supplement with one or two private sessions per week to focus on mitts or weight training. Can't recommend this place enough. They offer a free first session to new clients, so there's no risk if you don't like the classes. read more

I've been to other HIIT gyms in Pasadena, this is my favorite. Two main reasons. First, the format of boxing/treadmill/weights is fun, challenging, and effective. Each workout is a whole-body reset. I attend four classes a week, feel better those days and sleep better those nights. Second, the gym's staff is top-shelf and cares about its members. Ralph is an attentive coach, he observes how participants perform from class to class and knows how to motivate each member and push us farther than we would push ourselves. That's the value of going here, you will work harder than you think you could. When I started in 2020, my mile time was over eight minutes. These days, my mile time is under six minutes and I'm running distances further than I've ever run before. I'll turn 40 next year. I'm thankful for this program and the community at HIIT IT and recommend this gym to anyone looking to feel better and to make gains in their physical fitness. read more

My fitness and cardiovascular system has been drastically improved during my time here at Hiit-it! Ralph and Roman and the other trainers have consistently similar but changing workouts that hit the whole body, while at times give extra work for different body parts. It makes the workouts always fun and challenging. With their lead we are always pushing ourselves to accomplish that extra bit that truly makes a change to your body and health. I highly recommend coming in and trying this gym for yourself!! I have achieved the best fitness that I have ever had by coming to this gym! read more

I have been to many, many group fitness classes in many major cities that I've lived in. From spin, to barre, to CKO kickboxing, to hiit and beyond. I'm fairly sure that HIIT IT Pasadena is my favorite. And I'm very sure I'm in the best shape of my life... in my 40s no less. The classes have allowed me to gain real aerobic endurance and muscle endurance. I have very bad ankles due to a tarsal coalition in both ankles, so my mobility is pretty challenged. With consistent training via HIIT-IT classes + some PT, I've been working towards sprinting soon and I've seen so much progress with my mobility. As a middle distance lover who is very adverse to sprinting , this is MAJOR progress. I tend to be a heads-down kinda workout person in general but the energy at this gym is super welcoming and friendly and is the absolute opposite of pretentious... because nobody likes fitness snobs. The classes are also diverse, so you can learn from others and even see their progress overtime, which is a testament to the fact that the workouts work. Bottom line, if you want to get in shape and be challenged , go here. It's a good community read more

I signed up for a free class the summer of 2022 and have never left - it's been almost 18 months! After the first session, I immediately enrolled as a member. The fat-burning routines on the treadmill with kickboxing and weights has been a winning combination for me; I've lost more than 15 lbs. Plus, the vibe created by Coach Ralph and his team is just what's needed to HITT for 60 mins. I love leaving drenched from the hard work out and feeling physically and mentally strong. I recommend this gym if you're looking for a challenging yet fun workout. read more

Love this gym! Ralph and Cristian are amazing trainers and will motivate you to push your limits. They offer group classes throughout the day that make it easy to fit anyone's schedule, so no excuses! If you're looking for a gym with amazing trainers, people with great energy, and classes that will kick your a**, then this is it. read more

Hiit It Pasadena is a great please if you want to get sweat and burn calories. The class is divided by 3 sections with 2/3 of class are cardio ( treadmill & punching bag) and 1/3 of weight training (free weight lifting). Coach Ralph gives good motivation and very good music. A lot of parking and they are free. I would recommend Hiit It Pasadena to anyone. read more

Awesome HIIT workout. The workout is designed to work out all parts of your body, and you feel it the next day. Due to the nature of the workout - weights, treads, and kickboxing - you really get a full body workout, and you will notice a difference. Special props to Ralph, Roman, Julian and the staff for really adhering to cleanliness during Covid. Class sizes are very limited, and after each rotation, a staff member comes down and officially wipes down ALL the equipment with hospital grade sanitizer/cleaning solution. They dont jut rely upon the members to clean (and lets be honest, ive been to other gyms where people barely wipe down), so its reassuring and soothes my germaphobia, when i see them wiping everything down. Music is jamming here!!!! And for me, music is key! Especially when youre tired and not motivated to work out. Coach Ralph is energetic, is always positive, and just makes you believe in yourself. He will also give you verbal corrections on your form so that you dont injure yourself. (Not to worry, its verbal corrections...no physical corrections/contact during covid). Coach Julian is fantastic with kickboxing and really focuses on form (also verbal, no physical corrections). If youre looking for a fun and effective workout, check out HIIT-IT pasadena. read more

I have been a member for several months. While I consider myself an active "senior", I hesitated at first since it had been some time since I had done structured exercise. I researched several alternatives and have had some 1:1 training and came across HIIT-it and settled in here, happily. Every aspect of the gym is positive: there is a diverse set of trainers with years of experience, transparent and considerate management that listen to any concerns and resolve issues discretely and professionally, and as importantly, a community of like-minded and genuinely nice members. I look forward to coming to any class; there is no need for me to schedule per the assigned instructor - - I schedule according to "my" schedule - - and I am always satisfied. Everyone encourages each other and genuinely care and have fun! read more

Amazing class with an extremely motivating trainer! Highly recommend, they are so welcoming and helpful. Definitely my go to HIIT class

I agree 100% with Christine's assessment. The workout was great, the place is clean, but the trainer needed some coaching. I also have worked out at a lot of gyms in SoCal. The trainer's interactions with the clientele felt novice. It was rather cold. He did not care to know people's names, did not correct form, or even ask about injuries or goals. No one could finish the entirety of the workout, it needed to be dialed back at the end. He was not engaged and did not offer modifications or encouragement instead told those struggling to "hurry up, everyone's waiting!" It was kinda shamey for those brave enough to try something new or who aren't 23 anymore. Someone could get hurt which is always a #1 concern. A lot of people are trying to get back from massive COVID blows to fitness, just had a baby, have been recovering from injury, etc. Not everyone is the same and a little compassion goes far. The workouts are hard, which is great! I loved the workout! Again, I agree with Christine C.'s assessment. This place could be a gem, it needs some tweaks and would be stellllar! read more

The great: Location, Parking, Boutique atmosphere, very small class size (maybe no more than 10), private, great selection of different types of equipment, air-conditioning, the option to workout outside if the day/eve is nice. They had someone ONLY sanitizing the equipment as we used it. This is excellent and sure makes you feel like you are on CLEAN equipment! Nothing is more important these days. The good: They offer filtered water that is ice cold, bring your own bottle. NO TOWELS offered here, bring your own. They vary the exercises in the hour-long class so you will never get bored. Masks are mandatory at this time, no matter your vaccination status. I like the option of showing proof of vaccination and leaving the mask off. Not an option here. The bad: The lighting here is SUPER bright and NOT daylight balanced. Is it fluorescent? Sure feels like it and it makes you tired. LOVE the other gyms around that offer the daylight balanced bulbs and DIM them or put in LED strip lighting around key spots in the gym. There is just TOO much BRIGHT light inside this gym for my liking. Music while working out is KEY and this sound system needs a bit more of a professional touch. Like additional bass and perhaps the instructor wearing a headset. The ugly: The instructor was a total novice and the class is not safe UNLESS you have been working out for years. He did start the class on time and he ended it on time. However, he never ever made any form corrections. We all need the correct form or injury will happen. As you get tired, or if you are new to working out, you need form correction. NOT happening here. Also, he gives a series of exercises to do, demonstrates them ONCE, and then walks away. My short-term memory is good, but not that good. It would have been nice if he stayed around and stayed engaged. I promise you that he stepped into the office out of sight from the class to check his phone. He then had his back to the class and was cleaning the treadmills. We were the last class of the day, but I think you should finish strong. He was definitely wanting to get home, FAST. Ugh. Coaches can truly make or break a class even when everything else is not so great. This coach is great if you already know how to work out and are self-motivated. I am a ClassPass regular and have visited almost every gym in Pasadena. This 'could' easily be one of PASADENA's premiere gyms! No joke! But just like a bad boyfriend that just needs to tweak a little of this and a little of that....until he does or HIIT does, he is a bad boyfriend! I will return again and see what it might be like to take from another instructor. It is my hope that the lighting, sound system, and instructors will change. But we all know that we should not wait 'for someone else to change'. Thank you for reading...happy working out! read more

I have been working out here for several months. I wanted to lose some weight and get back in shape after a shoulder surgery. The workouts are demanding but do the job. I am in my late 40's and now in great shape once again. My weight is what it was 11 years ago. If you are willing to work at your goals you can reach them here. Coaches are there to facilitate your workout and keep you going. I'm very happy to have found this place. read more

If you're like me and find yourself on your phone between sets, only to leave the gym without a sweat knowing you could have done more - classes are the answer. I've been going to HIIT-IT Pasadena for almost 2 years now and keep going back for the fun community and workouts that hit every muscle group (while being yelled at to push myself)... The classes are high-energy and great for ALL ages and fitness levels. Everyone is different and this class is flexible to allow for modifications to the workouts. Ralph will help to correct your form to prevent injury or recommend alternative sets. This is a workout routine that is sustainable with short-burst cardio rather than high-impact, heavy weights or marathon strategies which are more prone to injury. read more

Great solid workout every single time! Ralph's energy is what makes this place. When you come here, you know it's time to work. The playlist, Covid-protocols, friendly people, VIP parking spots, they're all top-notch! read more

I like the Circuit training that they do here that includes cardio, boxing and weights. I feel the trainers do a good job answering questions and showing you what to do. The music is great and the atmosphere is comfortable! read more

What a great workout! I haven't worked out in a gym for so long, but this place made me feel safe & they were very thorough in their cleaning. I was challenged and left feeling so strong! I brought my daughter with me, who's a little picky and even she loved it. Enough to where she wanted to sign up. If you need a good, challenging workout, this is definitely the place! read more

Ralph is seriously legendary. I've tried so many diets, exercise routines, etc. over the past 30+ years, and I've never been in better shape than when I've trained with Ralph. He truly delivers what he promises, so long as you are willing to put in the work and sacrifice. Totally worth the investment if you're ready to see your body transform. read more

I love this gym! I love working out with coach Ralph. I have been coming to this gym for a few months and have seen vast improvements in my body. Ralph's workouts are always different and challenging. The music is great and all the members are fun and motivating. read more

Hiit-it is the place to go if you're looking for an awesome workout! I've been to several classes taught by Ralph and I always leave sweating and feeling great. Ralph always makes sure that you're feeling comfortable throughout the workout and always has modifications if needed. They enforce strict sanitation and social distancing measures and the classes are held outside. They also have a private, free parking lot in the back which is definitely a bonus! Definitely will keep coming back!! read more

Ralph the owner trained me while I was a member at Trifecta. I love Ralph he really keeps me in line, pushes me to my limits and ensures that I get the most out of my workouts. I am so happy he opened his own gym. I love how personal everything feels. The gym is super clean and they follow all Covid saftey precautions. If you're looking for a clean, safe gym to get your a** kicked and feel great afterwards come down and check it out. read more

Came in today for the free class...I was expecting the hard sell after the class from the trainer but he was super chill, or maybe he could tell I had fun and was ready to sign up...either way, It was an awesome workout! The place is brand new and super clean. After 3 months of trying (failing) to stay in shape at home I can't wait to have fun working out again. I think my favorite part was relieving my stress by punching and kicking the bag. read more

Roman and Ralph are amazing! Super friendly, very clean and great workouts. Worked out with Desiree as well, she's kick ass as well.
