I finally upgraded my membership to have the Southern California access pass and this is the 2nd…read moregym I've started coming to. I usually go to the Beverly Hills gym but they are renovating our building (shared with Equinox) so I decided to get a membership close to home since I've been working remote since Dec 2024. I believe most Equinox gyms have a standard and this meets it. It's a bit smaller than the Beverly Hills gym but it gets the job done. They have the same amenities as the Beverly Hills gym and the staff is just as nice. Upon arrival you will always be greeted with a smile and the people at the front desk are always welcoming and helpful. I go early in the mornings but would love to go later just to try their smoothies. Parking is hassle free when I go and I haven't had any issues. I have not showered there yet since I live 5 mins away, so I can not comment on the change of soap and shampoo products people have had an issue with. Overall, I love Equinox, the people, the service, the convenience and the locations are perfect. I do wish the hours on the weekends were the same as the weekdays so I could get my early morning workouts in before the kids early morning soccer games. OOOO 4 out of 5 Afros

I had a disturbing experience at Equinox Encino. While wearing a political t-shirt, a staff member…read morepointed at me and seemed to provoke a group of men to follow and harass me. When I started filming for my own safety, management threw *me* out instead of addressing the harassment. No one ever reached out -- I went back on my own to speak with management, and they told me my membership might be revoked. I felt unsafe, singled out, and discriminated against for my political views. As a paying member who always respected the space, I expected better. This location failed to protect me and punished me for defending myself. Think twice before joining if you care about fairness or inclusivity. Update: a rude district manager has since called, not to hear about what happened or to offer help, but to revoke my membership. I wouldn't feel safe going back here regardless, but it was disappointing to hear that even he was perpetuating the toxicity of the situation.

What's the point of writing yet another 5-star review to a business that literally only has 5-star…read morereviews? Well, there could be a few: 1) the ownership and trainers deserve this recognition from each and every trainee who appreciates them. Sometimes it's important to stop and say: thank you. 2) Hopefully, every review matters and what takes me a few minutes would play a tiny role in the decision of more people to join. 3) feels good to reciprocate to other people's display of kindness. It's the least we can do. The Arena Fitness team truly, truly, truly, cares about you, more than they care about the business, and whether you'll become a paying member. They allow a full week of trial - which is by far the most generous I've seen in the area. I'm thankful to the team and everything they do to improve other people's fitness, health, and lives.

Actually, they are very selective who they hire as trainers and I can honestly say they are all fantastic. Knowledgeable, professional and attentive.

I highly recommend this gym to anyone looking for a private training experience.

I lost 17lbs of pure body fat in my first 4 months at Novo Body. If you listen to Miguel's instructions on nutrition and pair it with his strategies around weightlifting, you will see success. It is very apparent who in his studio follows his formula because the fat literally falls off of their body within months. If you're serious about seeing change and developing lifelong healthy habits or if you want to become more serious (and safe) about lifting weights, this is the place for you.

Being a physical therapist I've always struggled with the structure of the classes, how stations were timed and back to back without rest focusing on the same muscle group, which doesn't allow for optimal muscle performance and loss of proper form, but my competitive nature hated to not commit to the challenge. Here, the workouts are balanced and paced, so you can rest when you need to and not rush, so your form is maintained and less risk of injury. Also the vibe is awesome, very fun, relaxed, self paced and supportive. My first class was with Frankie and he was great, not overly hovering when I was okay, but there as soon as I had a question. My new gym for sure! Would highly recommend!!

Ricky and Frankie were nice, and helpful. I'd say I felt less intimidated at the 8.15 class than the 9.30 one that was crowded and felt too fast paced for me. It's definitely challenging and makes me feel very out of shape at times but I'm willing to try it again. It's pretty hype and the owner is young & chill. Their social media content is good too. It appears to be a community but I need more time to feel part of it.
