If only I could leave SIX STARS! Never have I stepped foot in a more welcoming gym and the results…read moreshow. From the staff to the fellow members, this is the attitude and environment that every gym should strive to be. They set the standard. Having traveled and used other gyms, none of them compare. It's not your tik tokers and influencers trying to make the next viral video. It's people of all walks in their fitness journey, having a great time. Health is wealth as their sign says and I cannot take that moto any more to heart! Having been a member for over a year now, this is truly one of the best decisions I have ever made and I can't recommend The Gym LA as much as I want to. Now stop reading this review and get over there!!

I switched over to the gym after moving into a nearby apartment and walking to the gym (which I…read morealways prefer) was way more inconvenient with my original gym. The gym overall is very well maintained, always kept clean (bathroom is surprisingly well kept for a gym) and weights are usually where they should be. Theres plenty of towels and also disinfectant to wipe down equipment. The staff are friendly and pretty attentive as well always greeting as you come and go. I do have to ding one star in the fact that while their machine variety is good, there's only one of each except for the cable machines and racks which means if you want a specific machine you'll usually have to wait unless you come way off peak hours.

I have been working with Anton at Ultimate performance since July 2025. I received a flyer in the…read moremail, and after giving birth to my son, I needed comprehensive program that could not only support me post baby, but also help loose the weight gained during pregnancy and weight I gained after I turned 40. The experience has been great. It requires commitment, focus, hard work, and actually doing the work. Anton helped me to focus on recovery and building strength so I could care for myself and my baby. But also loose the excess weight that I don't need on my small frame. I've lost 25 lbs since starting the program, and expect to loose more. I will continue to do this program as it's helped me reach a new level of stretch and establish health eating habits.

I originally signed up for Ultimate Performance thinking I'd only do a 12-week program. Nine months…read morelater, I'm still going strong. I've surpassed my original goal weight, lowered my body fat to healthy (nearly athletic) levels, and feel stronger, more toned, and confident. My clothes fit great, and most importantly, I've been able to stay consistent without feeling burned out or restricted. About 4-6 weeks in, it became clear this program was delivering results I hadn't experienced before, even after working with other trainers. Instead of feeling demoralized, I felt motivated and genuinely excited to show up. Working with Anton (at the new Santa Monica location) has been a huge part of that success. He has an incredible focus on form, education, and accountability, delivered in a way that feels supportive, doable, and sustainable. He's kind but firm, without the ego or machismo you often find in this space, and it's clear he and the entire team are invested in real progress, not just selling sessions. I've learned how to balance training, nutrition, and sleep, and how to fine-tune calories and macros in a way that supports my goals without feeling painfully restrictive. Ultimate Performance is professional, clean, and staffed by knowledgeable, friendly people. I'd highly recommend it to anyone who's busy but willing to commit, work hard, and build true health and fitness as a lifestyle, and not a quick fix.

The Hollywood location has been my home gym for years now but discovered the Santa Monica location…read morewhen I started a new job almost 2 years ago now and it's great! This location is larger than the others so it's really spacious. At the SM location I've trained with Martine, Conrad, and Sean and, as usual, all are well trained, know their shit, pay attention, and are fantastic trainers! They keep you motivated. And it's great taking classes from different trainers because each one will give you a little tip that will land different for everyone. So something small, a slight adjustment, might change the way you do a lift for the better. Another reason I love this place. It's not cheap but it's worth it and so are you! No better $ spent than on your health!

I am a regular at the Studio City Lift Society but love visiting this location if I have to be on…read morethe Westside and love having that option. I love this gym and let me count the ways. 1. Clean facilities and everybody gets their own squat rack for an hour. Time is our most precious non renewable resource in our hectic lives. To get in a full body workout without waiting to share equipment and not spend any mental energy and time programming my workouts makes this membership a great value. 2. It's not HIIT, it's pure strength training using barbells and dumbbells. With 2-3 minutes of rest in between sets. 3. The classes are small and maybe 10 people at the most. It is more of a semi private training experience - all the attention and individualized focus of a top trainer with the social benefits of being part of a positive community. 4. Fast Results. Pure and simple. I've done it all: F45, Barry's, Orangetheory, Indoor Cycling, Hot yoga, kickboxing, etc. I am the strongest, leanest I've ever been and because my metabolism has skyrocketed by adding muscle mass, it's so freeing not to watch calories anymore.

Haven't felt this motivated in a few years so thanks everyone :)

Before training with him I did home workouts but knew I needed to be more challenged as well as have someone look out for my form. Ray is a no nonsense, just get in and get your workout in type of trainer. I have had great results in working with Ray, Ive lost more weight than I have ever lost - I am at the lowest that I have ever weighed. I am leaner than I have ever been and it is in large part due to Ray's support, encouragement and knowledge. Ray has been a part of the fitness world - it sounds like forever - and with that comes a wealth of knowledge of different types and ways of training. He is able to pull on this knowledge and create a program specifically to fit your needs, limitations, goals, and body's resistance to change. And then to top that off that program changes as your body changes - as it needs more of a certain exercise or cardio, etc etc. Ray is a sculptor and knows which muscles to work to get you the results and physic that you want. I highly recommend Ray, he will be that pal that pushes you and that you want to listen to.

We train virtually and he accommodates my schedule. I live in Michigan and even when I travel I am able to have consistent training. Ray coaches me through every movement and also provides a comprehensive nutritional and supplement regiment. He is also the trainer to top celebrities and other trainers but he keeps his clientele confidential but let's just say I met some cool people training with him.

One thing that has been great to see here is the incorporation of some strength training circuits that get me doing more than dumbbells and kettlebells with the flexibility to add a bit more weight, focus on form. Looking forward to trying the sessions that focus on mma/jiujitsu/striking technique--a new world for me but nothing but trust in James, Jo, Josh, Jack, and Celena who I have been lucky to get trained by for years. Great people running Glove and Crown, great classes, great community. Would give 6+ stars if I could.

I told the woman who was cleaning, and she casually said there are roaches there all the time because it's an old building. She seemed to dismiss it like it was normal, which was really disappointing and honestly gross. I also told the staff at the front desk, and they looked surprised, but clearly this is an ongoing issue if the cleaning staff already knows about it. On top of that, they charge $1 for parking. With the amount of people paying to use this gym and paying for parking, they should absolutely be able to afford proper extermination and better maintenance. The pool and jacuzzi area were also completely closed off, and there were no clear signs explaining what was being done or when it would reopen. Overall, the gym felt old, dirty, and poorly maintained. Seeing a roach in the locker room while changing was enough for me. I won't be coming back.

You should expand to new locations around LA. With that said, there is one area of improvement to work on. The lobby. It's outdated and needs a refresh. 1. The black and white photos in the lobby scream 1989. They need to go. Move the very cool "graffiti"style oversized poster to replace the black and white photos. It would look amazing. It's the perfect background for photo opportunities and Instagra. 2. The brass symbol sculpture needs to go. Its weird. It's broke. No need to prominently display something broken. Move the two randomly placed oversized black framed artwork on the back wall to replace the brass symbol thing. 3. The branches on the front counter with string lights look cheesy and cheap. They need to go. Buy 2-3 tall table lamps to go on the front counter instead. First impressions count. These small changes would significantly improve first impression of the gym. Thansk !

Most importantly you won't find yourself waiting long to use gym equipment, if you go at the right hours no wait for anything really.

I will miss coming here but hope to find my way back in the near future.
