I was new here and found this studio to be authentic, and kind and comfortable for new guests without any attitudes but true warmth. Los Angeles was home to the largest name teachers like Gurmukh Kaur Khalsa, Tej, Guru Singh and others we followed for so many years but then after Covid, much of the industry shifted into closed down studios, no more early pre-sunrise Sadhana daily meditation by candlelight, and even after completion of my License with Yoga West in L.A, I truly feel so out of the loop of our meditation and mantra and yoga community. This is a great studio and I hope to reconnect when the best time soon.

Absolutely LOVE this yoga center. I have attended 3 classes so far (with two different…read moreinstructors), and I enjoyed all of them! I leave each classes feeling energized and cleansed. The instructors and attendees are all very nice. It's a comfortable place that doesn't feel intimidating. The workout varies- sometimes more sweaty than others, sometimes more breathwork and chanting, etc...I enjoy the variety! And the class breezes by! I really enjoy the Sunday 5pm class the most. I wish the times were different. A 6pm class would be perfect. 5:30 is hard to make after work, and 7pm leaves a pretty big gap of waiting....thus, I usually only attend on Sundays. I would attend more during the week if times matched my schedule better. For now, I will settle on 1x per week, and I really look forward to that class. I highly recommend this center if you're looking to try Kundalini yoga!

The facility is large enough for the classes but not so large that it is overwhelming. Sam made me feel welcome which was nice. Not all gyms are that way. I particularly loved that after I shared my issues with my knees he had alternative exercises for me. I also felt like he really wanted me & everyone to get a lot out of their time without pressuring us to over do it. If I lived here I would sign up for a full membership. Thanks, Sam.

I have worked with Sam at Crown Hill Fitness for the last 7+ years. Working with Sam has been…read morenothing short of transformative. From day one, he brought an incredible mix of professionalism, motivation, and deep knowledge that made every session both challenging and rewarding. What sets Sam apart is his ability to tailor workouts specifically to my goals and fitness level. Whether it was strength training, cardio, flexibility, or nutrition advice, he always had a thoughtful, science-backed approach. I've seen real, measurable progress--not just in how I look, but in how I feel every day. Beyond the workouts, Sam is a genuinely inspiring person. His energy is contagious, and he knows exactly when to push and when to encourage. He celebrates every win with you, no matter how small, and that kind of support makes all the difference. If you're looking for a personal trainer who truly cares, knows their stuff, and will help you become the best version of yourself, look no further than Sam. I can't recommend him highly enough!

I have mixed feelings. There's certain things I absolutely LOVE The energy. A lot of the people are…read morewonderful. They have great offerings and give back to the community. Their childcare offerings are limited since there are hardly any children that attend. A lot of the folks that go seem to be older so we found we didn't find a lot of like-minded people in our age group. I have to mention too-- that I feel pressured frequently (during record breaking inflation) to give money. They mention it in the service which feels normal but sometimes a bit pushy. But they called me to ask for a pledge which felt invasive and I feel pushed away by that behavior. I really enjoy Abagail as a minister-- younger, lively, more appealing to the GenX/Millenual crowds. I have mixed feelings on Kathianne. Mainly she has a very boomer kind of demeanor and attitude. Feels ego-driven? Although she is very charismatic and decent at public speaking. Some of the things she says hits me wrong and can feel like she lacks empathy. There's certain aspects I love but some others that have us not really feeling comfortable coming back. Oh and the musicians are wonderful-5 stars!

I have never been into working out, sports, or other types of exercise, seriously. After having…read moretaken a couple Lagree classes with some friends at a different studio, I definitely got my butt kicked, but loved how my whole body was sore for days following the class. Then I saw The Box opened near my house and decided to give it a shot. I couldn't be happier that I found this studio. It's super cute, super clean, super welcoming, and the classes always leave me sweaty and shaking (it also smells incredible and they have turned me on to Ouai products!) As such a beginner, there are plenty of people in my classes with way more experience, but the teachers never make me feel awkward, uncomfortable, or less than. All the instructors and front desk staff know my name and welcome me in each week. This includes the owner, Maureen, who is an amazing hype woman that provides incredible customer service. In addition to the megareformer classes I take, they have other class options like Mat Pilates, and are always hosting special pop ups and collaborations. I am over 20 classes in and look forward to going each week. Couldn't recommend The Box more!

As soon as they opened up Founding Memberships, I…read moreimmediately jumped on it--and I truly believe it's one of the best investments I've made for myself. In addition to Megaformer and mat Lagree classes, The Box also offers mat Pilates and yoga. I took my first Megaformer class with Maureen, the owner of the studio. I really appreciate the pace of her class, and she is such a sweet person! Whenever she's in the studio, she takes the time to chat with everyone and check in on how we're doing, which I love. I've found myself drawn to Ella's mat Pilates class, especially after taking two Megaformer classes that I need to improve my core strength. I appreciate the cues and modifications she shares during class, as they help me adjust to my current fitness level. I've also been loving Kendall's Megaformer classes. So far, I really enjoy her playlists, and even though her classes are challenging, they make me want to come back and improve. As for the overall vibe of the studio, I've found it to be very welcoming to people from all different fitness backgrounds. I appreciate that there's no pressure to be competitive, you can truly "come as you are." It's exactly what I need in my life, and I'm so grateful to have The Box in the neighborhood. I look forward to trying their mat Lagree and yoga classes when our schedules align.

Last-minute invitation to join a friend resulted in one of my most memorable experiences for 2026…read more They are celebrating their 10th year as a sound temple. It was confusing because the address indicates a restaurant so you have to walk to the back of the restaurant and look for a gate that takes you into an enclosed garden-like area with prayer flags and lights. Inside t space was very comfortable: the temperature was comfortable with more than a dozen mats neatly laid out and prepared for guests. We were invited to be cleared with Rosewater spritz and feather energy. It was very intentionally and thoroughly done like an initiation into the space. It helped us feel like we had arrived and could be very present to ourselves in the space. When everyone had arrived we were oriented to the kinds of sounds we might experience as well as the state of mind, everything from moving into it transported space to falling asleep as, she pointed out, it is sometimes the thing we need the most. We were not rushed, we were invited to write our intentions. When she began, Karen was very skillful at making the Crystal bowls sing. For an hour we were transporte. It was an extraordinary experience...so said all of us. Several asked about alternative sessions including private sessions and private events. It will be a joy to return.
