    I have to share how much I love Self Made Training Facility in Costa Mesa! From the moment I stepped in, I loved it. The space is perfect, with all the machines you could want and plenty of room to move around. Whether you're hiring a trainer or going for the VIP membership, it's absolutely worth every penny. The trainers here are not only super educated but also genuinely inspiring and kind. They really care about helping you reach your goals. It feels like everyone is there with a purpose--to be better and to support each other. There's a recovery center connected to the gym as well with red light therapy, cold plunge, and a sauna. If you're looking for a fresh change of scenery or need that extra accountability, this is definitely the place to be. It's more than just a gym; it's an investment in yourself, and I promise you'll see the benefits. Go check it out! ;)

    When I was completely new in the fitness industry Kristian was my guide and the one who completely changed my life for the better. He always made me push really hard and I kept being inspired to continue, and never ever give up. He helped me with my diet as well and in the beginning I wasn't doing great but I felt safe enough to tell him the truth when I "failed". We found solutions so I would be on point. When I actually followed his diet plan the results came short after. He also made the sessions a lot of fun so I always looked forward to the gym. I'll forever be grateful for Kristian.

    I have never done indoor cycling the way MOXI3 had offered. I had taken a class via ClassPass at…read morefirst and then fell in love. Despite a 40minute drive from my home, I have made my way out to Costa Mesa to make sure I am able to attend the classes. After ClassPass, I had done the new member $30 for 3 classes and had an amazing time. When I called ahead because I was going to be late due to unforeseen traffic, the staff was kind enough to do a grace cancel despite calling only an hour ahead. I have done 4 classes so far and I will be sure to come back!!! The instructors and vibes are crazy good and I love this spot!

I called a second time the next day on Friday to follow up and they said they'd found it and put it in the lost and found bin and that I could pick it up the next time I came in. I live 30 minutes away so I wasn't able to come in until six days later (today) and it wasn't in the lost and found bin and they said it might've been donated. You would think that calling twice and having my name and number connected to that item would be enough to prevent it being donated not even a week later. I know I'm a ClassPass client but I claimed my item and clearly had intentions to retrieve it if I called twice right after the class and it's pretty upsetting that I was reassured it would be there and then it wasn't. If staff wasn't sure if I'd come back for it, a pickup time could've been coordinated. I know studios are technically not responsible for lost or stolen items and it's not even expensive but it's the principle of how it shouldn't have happened in a small gym and how it could've been easily communicated between staff or with me bc if I'd known they'd do this I would've made the 30 minute drive for it. I actually booked a class tonight just to pick up that jacket bc I normally cycle elsewhere. Now I'm just hoping for a callback on the unlikely chance they locate my property and that means I'll have to drive down yet again and that's IF they didn't give it away without my consent. There needs to be some kind of replacement or financial compensation for this bc this is truly unacceptable. I'm sorry to leave a bad review on a small business that has been otherwise pleasant but this was poorly handled af, that was my favorite jacket so yes it's dumb but this ruined my night and was upsetting so unless the situation is somehow rectified by returning my belongings or compensating the loss caused by the mishandling of this situation I'm going to remain unhappy with my overall experience and leave this review up. I've been to a lot of other studios in the area and they've NEVER lost or donated anything I've forgotten so this feels incredibly shady and careless towards clientele and made me lose all trust and interest in the business

They have all the equipment you could need to work every part of the body. The trainers genuinely care and personalize the program to your needs. Plenty of parking. Lockers are available with a code. It's a get-in, workout, get-out gym. There are no people, just hugging machines or standing around. Everyone is usually doing something, and so it motivates me to keep working out. It's never so busy that it gets uncomfortable. I have seen people of all ages, body types, and abilities here. It is a good mix of healthy people. Cons: No showers yet (they are expanding to include showers and a sauna soon) Only two restrooms. (I have never had to wait to use one, but you never know). Overall, this gym is pretty well organized. They offer plenty of trainers of all genders. I believe they also do rehab and physical therapy. There also is someone that comes to do massages. Everyone I have seen here is pretty friendly and polite. I have been training with Laura, and in the past three weeks, she took me from 0 pull-ups to 20 chin-ups, 1:20 plank to 3:30, and 15 push-ups to 42 in 2mins, and my strength overall has increased. I totally recommend you check it out.

It's SUPER aesthetically pleasing, with all black EVERYTHING & custom made machines! All of the trainers wipe down their machines after they use them (AMAZING!) . That is hard to come by, at gyms! The trainers are also so sweet & make you feel so welcomed! There's a water fountain & a vending machine with energy drinks, protein drinks & protein snacks, just Incase you forget yours. Love this because I'm always rushing out of the door! It also never gets super busy, like a commercial gym. So if you have gym anxiety, this is a great place to train! Love this gym if I could give it 100 stars, I would !

I've been to just about every 24 Hour Fitness around Orange County over the years -- South Coast, Fountain Valley, Irvine, Santa Ana, MainPlace, Bristol, Huntington Beach, and more -- and this location has ended up being the one I consistently come back to. The biggest reason is honestly the convenience and the community. It's only a few minutes from my house, I know a lot of the regulars and staff, and after this many years it starts to feel more like a familiar routine than just another gym. Brandon and the management team have always been good, and the staff overall does a solid job keeping things moving. The remodel definitely improved the gym and made the layout more user-friendly. Equipment access feels better than it used to, and overall it's cleaner and more functional than a lot of other big box gyms in the area. That said, I do think they could have taken the renovation further. Adding recovery-focused amenities like red light therapy, cold plunges, or upgraded wellness features would have made a huge difference and helped modernize the experience. I'm also not thrilled that towels disappeared while membership prices somehow continue going up year after year. I've been a member for a very long time, and it does get frustrating watching the price steadily increase without really feeling like long-term members get much back in return. Still, for the price point, it's honestly a pretty good gym. It's not an ultra-luxury executive fitness club, but you generally get solid value for what you pay for. Good equipment selection, decent atmosphere, familiar faces, and overall a reliable place to train consistently.

During my workout, I saw what appeared to be an employee Marco leaving the building with someone in a way that seemed "inappropriate" for on-the-clock behavior. Whatever was going on, it made me uncomfortable and didn't feel professional for a gym environment. On top of that, the front desk was left completely unattended for quite a while. I was trying to ask a simple question about the renovation upstairs, but there was no staff available to talk to. For a busy gym, especially one undergoing changes, it's frustrating not to have anyone at the desk to help members. I hope management addresses the professionalism and staffing issues, because this location used to be much more reliable.

    I absolutely love Planet Fitness! From the moment you walk in, the atmosphere is positive,…read morewelcoming, and judgment-free -- exactly what their slogan promises. Whether you're new to working out or have been training for years, this gym makes it easy to feel comfortable and motivated. The staff is always friendly and professional. They greet you with a smile, keep the facility spotless, and are quick to help if you ever have a question about the equipment or your membership. I've noticed how consistently clean everything is -- the locker rooms, restrooms, and workout areas are always well maintained, which makes a big difference. The gym layout is great: there's plenty of space between machines, and I've never had to wait long for equipment, even during busier hours. The cardio section is huge, with rows of treadmills, bikes, and ellipticals. The strength-training area has a wide variety of machines and free weights perfect for all fitness levels. I also appreciate the HydroMassage beds and Total Body Enhancement booths -- amazing perks that make recovery feel luxurious! Another thing I really like is the 24-hour access at many locations. It's convenient for anyone with a busy schedule, and the membership prices are extremely reasonable for what you get. The Black Card membership is totally worth it if you like traveling or visiting different locations -- it gives you flexibility, guest privileges, and extra amenities. What sets Planet Fitness apart is the culture -- it's genuinely a judgment-free zone. Everyone is focused on their own goals, and the staff encourages a positive, respectful environment. It's the perfect place for beginners who might feel intimidated at other gyms, as well as for regulars who want a clean, friendly, and affordable fitness space. If you're looking for a gym that combines cleanliness, great equipment, friendly staff, affordable memberships, and a motivating atmosphere, Planet Fitness is definitely the place to be. Every visit leaves me feeling stronger, healthier, and happier.

I mind my own business and only go there to work out. I will never refer anyone to that place, and I refuse to pay them another dime. Fortunately, I've already found a way better gym.

The majority of all the old members of the Sports Club/LA left due to the different crowds of people Equinox has brought in. We called it the 24 hour fitness crowd. It's quite true. A lot of things has certainly changed drastically after it became what it is today. I would say 50/50% of things happening here are good and bad. Behind the closed doors things are not always what they seem for a 5 star upscale gym. A lot of members including myself had have our personal belongings stolen from us from time to time. I've personally had a issue recently that resulted in someone stealing by $200 cycling bib shorts after I went to take a shower after a extremely exhausting spin class. That's pretty disgusting on who ever stole a pair of stinky worn shorts belonging to someone else. Others have their underwear stolen directly from their lockers while they simply walked away to get something. It's creepy. We never had this problem when the Sport Club/LA was around. Seem like all of the bad things that has happened to this beautiful gym is by members who were previously members of 24 hour fitness. Other than the negative things, Equinox is ALWAYS a nice gym to go to when you're looking for the most exclusive upscale gym other companies don't have. One thing that makes me laugh every time I walked through the front door is the valet service that offers easy parking for lazy people.
