Needless to say, I have to sit A LOT. 9 Round has come to my rescue with an open schedule, great workouts, great coaching if you come when they are available, and a clean and efficient environment. My life is so unpredictable right now, but they are always there to support and encourage when I need it most. I thoroughly enjoy the workouts (who doesn't love to punch and kick things?!?!) and the access to the facilities without having to worry about making a set class time is a game changer.

I've had a great experience at Afterburn fitness. One of the things I love most is the incredible…read morevariety of classes they offer. There's something for every fitness level and goal, so it's easy to stay motivated and keep workouts interesting. The coaches are knowledgeable, encouraging, and genuinely invested in helping everyone succeed. They create a positive and supportive environment while making each class both challenging and fun. The atmosphere is another standout. Everyone is welcoming, friendly, and respectful, making it a place you actually look forward to coming back to. If you're looking for a gym with excellent classes, amazing coaches, and a great community, I highly recommend this one.

I absolutely LOVE that this gym offers a hiit class at 4am, since I start work at 6am I can get it…read morein before work and shower in time to make it and start the day off right! I recently tried a few other gyms, and while they were okay, they just didn't compare to Afterburn. At first, the membership price might seem like a lot, but once you compare the pricing to other gyms and what's included with Afterburn it feels worth it. Keep an eye out because they do have specials for new clients often! ;) And if you know someone who already comes to Afterburn, you can do a "friend referral" that can help you both. ;) The trainers here are incredible. They push you to become stronger while also encouraging you every step of the way, literally! On the days when I want to give up, they're the ones reminding me that I can do hard things. As someone who started out overweight and out of shape, I can honestly say I've never once felt judged. The trainers create such a positive environment, and the members are just as welcoming and supportive. One thing I really appreciate is that the classes never feel overcrowded. Unlike other gyms where you're packed in like sardines, there's plenty of space to work out comfortably. What really makes Afterburn different is the community they've built. They don't just focus on workouts--they focus on their people. From holiday events and team challenges to themed workouts and brunch workouts, they create opportunities for everyone to connect, have fun, and make lasting memories. It feels like you can build friendships here. I also love the new sauna and cold plunge. I use them regularly, and they're always clean, well-maintained, and never overcrowded. If you're overweight or you're just trying to get back on track, don't let the financial fear hold you back. The trainers will help you build healthier habits without breaking your budget. I realized that by cutting back on fast food and making better choices, I was actually saving money--enough to help cover my membership. That's an investment that pays you back in your health. If you're on the fence, I highly recommend taking advantage of the 3-day trial. Walk through the doors, give it a chance, and see what it's all about. By the end of the year, you'll be glad you started. Afterburn won't change your life for you--but if you're willing to show up and let them help you, I truly believe they can help you build a stronger, healthier, and happier version of yourself. The hardest part is taking that first step.

His patience and understanding along with his methods are absolutely incredible to watch. The price we paid is incomparable to the lessons my son learned, but also SUCH a steal to be honest. The only reason we're even leaving the class is because we're moving further than I can drive every weekend. John is communicative and responsive and you can tell he really cares about the kids' progress. Thank you guys so much for everything!

He truly cares about his students and is passionate about guiding us toward reaching our best selves. He is strict, that is for sure, but he gives the tough love that helps you grow.

I'm not just a fan--I'm a testament to what Coach Jeffrey stands for. Both him and the school earn every one of these five stars. Come experience it--once you do, you won't look anywhere else.

Here are the highlights: - High intensity classes that will challenge you and make you sweat. - Supportive community amongst students and trainers. This is a no judgement zone and the people are there to help you succeed in your fitness goals. - Emphasis on how kickboxing skills can be transferable to self defense skills. - Great results! After participating in the transformation challenge my brother went down 3 BMI! - Personalized training even in a large group setting. I appreciate that the trainers are always checking my technique and pushing me to challenge myself. As a result, I always have a new goal in the gym and a new skill to work on. I'm never bored in class! Shout out to Nikki, Gabby, and their staff for making CKO such a supportive environment. These folks understand that fitness is about building confidence in yourself and your health more than anything else. This is not just a weight loss program, but a community that will support you in changing habits and conquering self doubt. Five stars well deserved!

This is a great 24 hour gym! Been a member here for years. It's not specifically a "private" gym…read morebut it has the feeling of a private gym. It's organized and clean although sometimes it's a little dusty. That's the worst thing I can say. But this is Santa Clarita and everyone knows it's dry and windy so it's going to be a little dusty from the door constantly being opened. My experience with staff has always been positive. My encounters with Joel (the manager for a few years now) and Riley, has always been positive. They are friendly and polite and they do a great job of keeping the gym in order. Being that this gym has a more upscale feel and is available to members 24 hours a day, 7 days a week with limited staffing, members are expected to police themselves and follow the rules. It's not only ownership that expects this, but it's other members as well. That's why we pay more for membership here. If I wanted a messy gym where nobody cares, I'd go to LA fitness. Members are held accountable of they commit rules violations and some people don't like that. This isn't LA fitness or EOS where if you break a rule, nobody says anything (which is also one of the reasons I really like this place). If you don't want a problem with staff, follow the rules. Don't open the door for anyone who can't get in on their own, don't bring in guests (or your children) during unstaffed hours and return the equipment you use. It's common sense and courtesy. There are signs up with rule reminders around the gym and at the front door and everybody gets explained the security rules upon signing up. If you break the rules, you're probably going to get contacted by staff. Most members appreciate the attention to safety and enforcement of picking up when you're done. Others appear to get upset because they didn't like being told they violated a rule and come to yelp to complain. Don't judge this place based off a few negative reviews left by people who are upset they were contacted for rules violations or didn't know how to read the contract they signed. It's a great community, it's safe and has everything you need to get a great workout!
