    Marcus is a great teacher and instructor. He has helped me improve my technique so much and I can use it in the cage when I fights.

    I absolutely LOVE Booty Boot Camp on Monday evenings with Jazmine and Sonia simply extraordinary!…read moreTheir energy & motivation are unmatched& they make the class so much fun while still pushing you to give your best. It's honestly the perfect way to start the week& now I actually look forward to Monday evenings & getting a great workout in. This was my first time at the gym,& I was really impressed. The heated room added an extra challenge in the best way,& the customer service was excellent from the moment I walked in.The. Nublends shakes Perfect both before & after a workout! Thank you to these amazing instructors I truly hope they continue offering more classes. I'll definitely be telling my friends to come try it out

    I like the gym but management is horrible and lazy . Especially the big guy during the evening…read moreshift . They are rude and lazy and not responsive to the members needs when asked for assistance with lost items . I knowingly left something behind at the gym. I asked the to check in their office , where they keep lost items. He would not check because "he knew" it was not there. Wtf, guy only had to walk 20 feet and check just in case it was turned in. I tried to email the owner via the website but it wood not allow me to so. A separate issue is the horrible conditions on d the showers . The cleaning guys in the morning are awesome; however, managements needs to fix the shower heads and shower handles . How the hell are we supposed to work out ,shower and go to work from there when several showers are not working . I've been a member for about ten years but I am considering canceling my membership.

The vibe and hospitality is top notch! I wish I actually lived in the area so I can come back! Moses and Gale were so great and all the other people working out were awesome as well. I can't recommend this place enough! Even the decorations of the lights and music just made it such a fun place to workout! Can't wait to come back!

    This is a great cardio based boxing studio. They have boxing, kickboxing, and Boot Camp classes. I…read morereally enjoy the kickboxing class at 5:30pm.The owner, Moses, gives really good advice about technique and form. It's also so cool to be learning from a former Olympian!! Another random thing that I like about this studio is that we can keep our shoes on. Most places want you to take it off, which i'm not fond of. The lights and music makes it feel like it's a party. For each class, you start off with a warm-up, either jump rope or running laps, then other various exercises like burpees. Then you go on the bag for a bit, then partner up, do some drills, then finish with abs and stretching. It's always a challenging workout and it changes every time i come. It's funny because they offer a shot of tequila after class. I don't drink but i know it can be an incentive for people!

    South Bay is probably in my top 5 Equinox locations I have visited. Large location with a roof top…read morepool. Relatively clean for the most part but from pictures I have seen from the other reviews, some of the weights are a little banged up. I am okay with this as long as it doesn't fall apart on me and the gym is kept clean, particularly the showers. I believe the premium we are paying for the gym is particularly for the cleanliness which after being at 24 hour fitness and la fitness, I understand how disgusting those places can be. Parking - Large parking lot - in the morning parking was pretty easy to park but I am sure this locations can get packed during the afternoon/night time.

    *Update - The General Manager told me that members should be allowed to work in with Personal…read moreTrainers and that Personal Trainers are told to avoid using popular equipment during busy times. I asked Rico if I could work in on the squat rack while he was doing a circuit of 4 exercises where 3 exercises were off of the squat rack. He told me no and threatened me saying that he knew I was the one who complained about him and he "DOESN'T CARE WHAT MANAGEMENT SAYS". For being 65 years old you would think he'd be more respectful of people and the rules of the place he works at. I'm not sure if there are different rules at the other gyms he trains people at, but I would expect he would follow Equinox's rules. **Update - Today I asked again to work in Rico on the squat rack and he again said no. He said he had 2 back to back clients where he was going to use the squat rack and I couldn't use it. He told me that the Equinox VP says he doesn't have to let anyone work in with him. He then threatened to get my membership revoked today and proceeded to call me childish for asking to work in. Rico proceeded to hog the platform squat rack for over an hour even though he was done using it with his 1st client so I couldn't squat on it. I don't understand why he's the ONLY Personal Trainer I've had threaten me multiple times and not let other paying members use equipment during busy times. Can someone please provide me with the corporate contact info if they have it?

    I joined GR8 Body Fitness almost a year ago! They have been a lifesaver...and I'm NOT exaggerating…read morewhen I say that. My triglycerides were at 200 back in August 2019. My doctor said I needed to change that or I would increase my chances of getting diabetes. At my last doctor's appointment my triglycerides were down to 80!!! I've lost more than 22 pounds and I'm still going. I no longer weigh more than 200lbs! What sets GR8 Body Fitness apart from other gyms is accountability. All of the coaches become your cheerleaders and work with you to reach your goals. They know you by name. I don't feel like I'm just a member of a gym; I feel like I've become part of the GR8 Body Fitness Family.

    So like most people when it comes to fitness we tend to put it in the back of our minds. My wife…read morehad first joined this gym prior to our wedding over a year ago. I have to admit it did transform her, I was hesitant to join because I already had a free gym membership at my place of work at the time. Why would I spend if I didn't have to, right? Wrong!!!! If I would have known what it could've done for me back then, I would've signed up a long time ago. I joined last october/november with a groupon deal. It was by far the best one I have ever purchased. Quickly I saw how people had transformed their lives here and I knew I was in. It helped that my wife had previously joined and its pretty close to our house. I was still stuck in some ways so I can't say I was super committed. I knew I had wanted to push myself physically and mentally, however it wasn't until the 6 Week Challenge in January that I had to go all in. I lost 18.5 lbs!! Started at 201 and ended at 182.4. I still can't believe the results. This is only the beginning. Now I can't see myself going anywhere but this gym. It's become my fit family. Thank you to the amazing staff and team.

Whether you want to get fit, fight competitively or just learn something new, you can get all that here and more. It's a real boxing gym so you're training alongside pros and amateurs. The gym has great hours so if you're an early riser Coach Juan will greet you as early as 5am! And if I'm not mistaken they have classes into the evening as late as 7p. I've learned things from all of the great coaches here working with all of them over the years. Currently I'm working with Coach Bryan, a professional with an undefeated record! They have great kids classes too which my son has participated in and enjoyed! It's affordable, and they adjusted my membership to fit with my schedule. They have two rings, plenty of bags, and a freeweight area. Oh and also a large MMA room. I most enjoy the camaraderie, respect and equality amongst everyone there. Boxing is an international sport and that is evident here as I've met people from all over the world here. I've made new friends working out with and sharing the ring with. We have FUN! So come on down and learn the sweet science.
