    Partnership between South Bay Inferno Developmental Football Team and Sorta HQ
    Arley S.

    I am a co owner of a developmental football team in the community which includes former and future NCAA division I, IA, II, III, NAIA football athletes; on top of a range of of a few American military veterans that play football as a hobby, along with a few off season pro arena football players keeping their skills sharp while on recess. We were invited over to receive weekly strength and conditioning coaching and training from Juan and Nick, not only do they possess degrees from prestigious universities to provide the "book smarts" to their sports science and kinesiology expertise, but also the certifications and ground experience to be able to produce powerful effective physical training seminars for my athletes. At Sorta, it gives my athletes, many of whom come from marginalized backgrounds, a safe space in the community to nourish health and fitness. We are currently on a sabbatical to allow our players to fuel up before restarting again. Our partnership with Sorta has definitely been a graceful experience.

As a warning, pending what time you go, parking is very hard to find. Both parking structure and street. Everyone is hawking for parking, meaning everyone is aggressive. Good luck on that part. This is one of the main inconvenience at this location. I entered the gym and I was greeted. Kudos to the front desk for doing so. It really sets the vibe and energy. Went to restroom and it was somewhat clean. Entered the bathroom to find out there was a clogged pipe and urine was all over the floor. 10 minutes later, it was announced on the loud speaker that the bathroom was closed! Gym equipment at this time was somewhat maintained. Loose weights were scattered in various places. The mats were dirty. Overall, this gym does its job. You have the cardio side, free weights side, mechanical side and basketball court. Also, this is one of the gyms that still has punching bags you can use and utilize for boxing and mama. This gym can use some work on their equipment cleaning. Restock, clean, mop floors and vacuum. I advise they should have a full time cleaner walking around the clock for maintenance. Good to go. Crowded but doable to get a good workout.

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.

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 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.

From day one, they've brought nothing but positive energy. Devin deserves a special shoutout. I once mentioned the eucalyptus towels and asked if they could be kept stocked, and ever since then he has been ON IT. Every fridge stays filled, every time. That kind of follow-through really shows care and attention to members. Jasala is a pleasure every single time I walk in. She greets you with a genuine smile and amazing energy, and that honestly matters so much, especially at a gym. Being welcomed warmly sets the tone for the entire workout, and she does that effortlessly. And Taylor... always smiling, always good vibes, immaculate energy.

During class on December 9,2025 from 5-6PM, the space was small, so I wasn't able to follow the exact rotation and adjusted myself, which I believed was fine since the instructor didn't correct me. Another member gave me unsolicited directions even though she wasn't the instructor. At the end of class, she became passive-aggressive and asked the instructor to explain the rotation. Afterward, she stared me down aggressively. Then she continued to call out another woman in our class for doing squats in the inside of the circle. To which the instructor said it was completely fine. Afterwards I told her not to stare me down and that she's not the instructor to be delegating anyone in class. Despite me setting these boundaries, she pressed her body against me, yelling at me and trying to threaten/intimidate me. She began yelling religious statements, including things like "strike you down." I did not engage physically and was only protecting my personal space. The instructor did not intervene at the time, which made the situation feel even more unsafe. I hope the gym can address member behavior and ensure that everyone feels safe and respected during class. Otherwise, the workouts and instructors are great.

On my first visit I was greeted at the counter and directed to the studio. The studio is relaxing and comfortable, you hear some of the gym noise but it is not distracting. Sasha is very good at knowing how far to push you to get the most out of your session, her work is very therapeutic, after one visit my shoulder felt much better, I felt additional improvement after additional session. I didn't expect 100% improvement immediately but my shoulder feels much better, and after almost 10 years of discomfort I can't recommend Sasha enough. If you are in the gym stop in and schedule an appointment. Gym staff is friendly and helpful, they have a lot of equipment and space, and an assisted stretching studio on site for your pre or post workout stretch.
