Cardio equipment
Eva Y.

I can't recommend HVY enough! A good varied selection of equipment, from the latest training and cardio machines all the way to recovery devices (to get into your muscle knots after) are available to use under the guidance of your personal trainer. There is no overcrowding or abuse of equipment due to the results-driven staff and clientele and the gym is ALWAYS clean. There are four private use bathrooms with one equipped with a shower and products for you to wash and go after an intense workout. There are also various beverages available for purchase at the front desk. I have been working out at HVY for a bit over a year, training with the goal of losing weight and getting stronger. My trainer Ryan is great and keeps me focused on my body goals and gives me confidence to use the gym on my own. The owner and the rest of the trainers at HVY all have amazing professionalism mixed with great humor and warmth. Train here, you won't regret it!

The first thing I noticed about this new gym popping up in my neighborhood last year was the amazing mural art painted on the outside of the building. Eventually I walked in to check it out. I was instantly impressed by all the new equipment and how clean everything was! The staff were super friendly and quickly showed me around and offered me a 1 on 1 meeting to discuss my options and goals etc. I signed up for a 10 session package with Jenni (trainer) to try it out. I have now been training with Jenni at HVY for over a year. She is the best! So knowledgeable and friendly and very enthusiastic. She is also very organized and tracks every single thing we do on her iPad. Which is nice because then I don't have to do it :) Our workouts are always fun and constantly changing to keep them fresh. It's perfect for me. I have learned so much about stretching and getting the most out of my body too. Things I wasn't exactly expecting when I signed up, but now appreciate and work on constantly. I have a pretty crazy schedule for work (with a lot of last minute travel) and Jenni is always flexible and makes time for my sessions. She even writes me up workouts to do while I'm on the road (at hotel gyms) so I stay on track. I have also started doing some boxing sessions with Jordan who is equally awesome! Very knowledgable, enthusiastic and nice. He actually had been giving me a few boxing tips for free for months before we finally trained together, which was very generous and appreciated. I'm big on personal relationships, so small things like that go a long way with me. I now go in to box a few days a week. I love the setup in the back room with the various bags and a small ring. It's perfect for me to just go in and pop in my headphones and hit the heavy bag for 12 rounds :) I also love using all the recovery tools like the Hypervolt rollers/massage guns and the Normatec pants. These are things other gyms simply don't offer! Now when I walk into HVY I feel like I'm just hanging out with friends. From Ryan and I making fun of each other to Josh always with a smile and hello and of course Jenni and Jordan being their usual awesome selves. Overall I've been going to gyms all over the world for 20 years and this is the best gym I have ever trained at hands down! Can't recommend it enough! Come by and check it out. You won't be disappointed.

Me and Francisco.
David K.

I have been a member for LA Fitness for a while and I was looking to take my training to the next level. This gym interested me because of the personal training programs they had available. Upon my first visit Francisco was very helpful, taking the time to show me around the gym, explaining all the equipment and amenities. We sat down 1 on 1 and he explained to me the different types of training programs available and recommended me a trainer to use. I had my first training session with Hannah today. She was very enthutiastic and helpful and I learned some new types of stretches, elastic band exercise, and free weight routines. She was able to correct issues in my form and give suggestions for the future. I was happy with how easy to get along with she was and the quality of tips she had to offer. I look forward to coming to train here more in thn future!

Chambers and I feelin the good vibes!
Billie L.

HVY Industry and my personal trainer Ryan Chambers have been a dream come true for me. Finding the right gym with good vibes to call home is hard. With so many dirty low vibrational gyms throughout LA, I really love how clean HVY is. The major difference is people actually care at HVY. I always feel supported by the staff and other trainers. You know you've found the perfect gym when you leave stronger but still feel lighter and happier than before. Vibe is everything. Thank you team HVY. I appreciate you.

Ask the Community - HVY Industry

To be honest, I don't think I know how to workout out properly. Also, I am not in the best shape right now. Are there classes/packages for someone like me, who is hoping to learn how to workout?

From my experience, if you want to engage a trainer, HVY is as good as it gets. I recommend David Scott; all are good.

Hi, I was wondering what kind of packages are available and how long each training session is?

Hey Janice! There are so many options! We have, weight loss/weight gain programs, corrective exercise coaches, post rehab instructors, nutrition counselors, and boxing/self defense trainers - to name a few. Sessions can range from 30-50 minutes.…

TLDR: Love the gym, coaches, staff, & community. 10/10…read more I walked into Prevail in 2017, and 9 years (and 1,324 classes as of this morning) later, I'm still showing up. I am leaving Los Angeles for the UK next spring, and honestly, one of the biggest things I am going to miss is coming to Prevail. Second might be a proper breakfast burrito and taco trucks, but first is definitely Prevail. Prevail is a great way to start your day, or end it if it's been a particularly stressful one. Before class, you're chatting with the friends you've made, and after class begins you're only thinking about the minute you are in. Anything you were worried about disappears because you can only focus on the present. And when things finally start to click for you on a specific punch, counter, defense, or footwork move... Or when you used to grab your knees desperate for air but now you can knock out 20 burpees in a minute... That's the dopamine hit you're looking for. VIBES Prevail is great for first-timers or returning champions. The front desk staff always welcomes you when you walk in, and if you're new, they will get you set-up and make sure you're not just tossed into the deep end. The coaches all have their unique style, but they always bring fun, energy, and experience to every class. They're never impatient with you if you're not doing something quite right, or aggressively shouting at you to do more. There has never been a coach I have not liked, or more accurately, I love 'em all. ;-) The community of members is a wide range of ages, fitness levels, and boxing experience. But aside from all that, it's basically a big group of cool folks. And there's definitely no toxic bro vibe. No one is judging what you can or can't do. Everyone is super supportive of each other. I've actually made quite a few friends that I've seen outside of class. (Or in typical LA fashion, we've exchanged numbers with the intent to hang out but then never do. But that's on us, not the gym. ) CLASSES SWEAT classes focus on pushing you physically (it's called "SWEAT" for a reason) but also give you a chance to work combinations on the heavy bag and mitt work with the coaches (and sometimes other gym members will jump in and mitt so everyone gets more mitt time). And the coaches are always trying to find ways to keep the classes fresh since it would be easy to just put them on auto-pilot. BOX classes have a mix of technique and fitness with a focus on fundamentals. There is a big picture intention behind the structure and path of the classes that goes beyond a single day class. That said, you can show up on any day to get to work without having been to any of the previous classes. BOX classes definitely give you the opportunity to elevate your skill level. SPAR is where you can truly work on your technique, but you will also be working hard. You will need headgear, cup, and mouthpiece. I know some gyms are a free-for-all, but Prevail fosters a collaborative and safer vibe. The coaches will tell you that you are not trying to win a fight or hurt your partner. You are both trying to get better. They will also remind you that it is up to you to communicate with your partner on the intensity you want to work at. ***** If you're looking for a new way to get in shape, build confidence, and make friends while you do it, come check out Prevail. P.S. I sometimes mitt Lolo's Friday 8am class, so say hi to the gray-haired, sweaty guy holding the mitts for you.

Been with Prevail for a couple of years, and feel like they having been my saving grace. Literally…read morebrings my mind back to peace when I'm there, coaches always provide positive energy needed, great playlists and challenging workouts. Sweat classes are my favorite but recently started going to S&C for some toning and am really enjoying both. Also, do privates with Lolo and there is no one better, never thought I'd be able to box and even be somewhat ok at it but his expertise has made all the difference!! Really, really great people who welcome you in, there's no need to feel intimidated there, it's just positive energy! Five out of five, couldn't recommend this gym more!!!!

There's a recovery room for sports massage and compression sleeves, etc. Rates are competitive, bathrooms are always nice and clean, music always bumping and if you're lucky you'll get to meet Koko the mascot :)

A typical 45-minute session frequently consisted of me jumping rope for extended periods while he cleaned his apartment (which doubles as his setup). I explained that I could not jump rope properly due to prior surgeries on all eight of my toes, but he refused to acknowledge my physical limitations and insisted on it anyway. He lacks proper strength training equipment and relies on the apartment complex's shared gym upstairs for treadmill work. Paying $100 an hour for exercises I could easily do on my own--such as running on a treadmill or accompanying him while he walked his dogs at the park--felt like a complete waste of money. He repeatedly refused to focus on core training despite my persistent requests. Overall, I found his demeanor to be extremely unprofessional, condescending, and verbally harsh, including making unsolicited and offensive personal comments suggesting I had a mental illness. This was a deeply distressing experience, and I strongly recommend looking elsewhere for a qualified trainer. More accurately, if I could give a zero rating, I would.

LOVE THIS GYM! I've never felt comfortable at gyms before, but this place is like joining a family…read more People are all really cool, respectful, and absolutely no judgment. Everyone supports each other and every single instructor is as good as it gets. Gym is clean, restrooms are clean. There are showers and lockers, hairdryers too! Literally everything you need in a facility. They have CrossFit, Boxing, Jiu Jitsu, Kickboxing, Etc. My favorite it jiu jitsu, and the sensei (and owner of the gym) has a passion for jiu jitsu that really shows in his expertise and knowledge. He and all the other instructors regularly compete in tournaments and take master classes to keep their skills up to date. Membership costs are the same if not lower than other MMA gyms and your membership pays itself off within a week of classes. Classes are easy to sign up for, they have an app and create a profile for you when you sign up to the gym. Never had any issues with it! As for parking, what can I say, it's Downtown Los Angeles and it's no different than any other gym. There's street parking and two pay lots nearby. I've never had trouble with parking, you figure it out after the first couple times.

They are the main reason I come back , being able to evolve and create a passion here is something that has only been possible due to the fact that our coaches are always rooting for us !

The classes are very fun and beginner friendly yet challenging. Each coach has their own style of teaching and will go through different combo exercises and conditioning workout. The coaches adjust the level of difficulty based on the level of students that show up for that specific class. Regardless what the level of student, each class will guarantee an amazing workout that pushes the mind(learning different boxing skills) and the body. The gym is very clean and has a small free weights section attached to it. Not only can one improve his/her boxing skill, one can lift weights and get stronger and fitter as well. All coaches are very qualified. Some have been boxing for decades and some are pro fighters. I have taken some private classes. I had nothing but amazing sessions. The price is very reasonable as well. $150 for basic gym membership which includes all classes and all access to the entire gym. $250 is the next level up which is what I have. It includes two 1hr private sessions per months which is easily $200 plus at other boxing gyms. Also, a pair of hand wraps and boxing gloves will be provided when signing up. Another $100 value. Personally, I lost 25 lbs since I joined the gym and on my way to my first sparring session. Shark Boxing is just AWESOME!!! For anyone who is hesitating, don't. You won't regret join this gym.
