Coach Jamal led the 7 a.m. class. He demonstrated the movements and broke down the workout for us. Sweat 60 is like CrossFit- working out in a parking lot/ garage with barbells, dumbbells, kettlebells, and sweaty people moving from station to station to get their workout done. The workout was doable, but I wish they would play more music to motivate people. They should add another trainer; there were about 20 people with only one coach. When lifting weights, it's crucial to make sure you are using the proper form. Adding another coach will allow people to have more 1:1 attention when needed. Not a great place for beginners, in my opinion. Free but limited parking when you enter the alley. read more

I happily started personal training with Cruz 3 months ago. He is thorough and attentive to my injuries, while pushing me to be a better athlete and hit personal records. We collaborate on my goals, and he's always enthusiastic and has a gift of making training fun (even when I feel ready to give up!). The gym itself focuses on weight lifting, and has an outdoor area which is a great asset on beautiful read more

I've been coming for 6 months and I love this gym!! It's clean, the staff is great, and everyone is encouraging and kind. My trainer Shawn is the goat! Highly recommend this spot. read more

Best gym I've ever belonged to, best trainers I've ever had. I've been a member of Sweat 60 for ~4 years now. I've been training with them through a bunch of life events that could have devastated me in terms of my health & fitness: from recovering from cancer, to a ruptured achilles tendon, to some early arthritis arising from my years in the military. And I'm still in the best shape of my life thanks to Courtney, Kevin, Xavier, Matt, Jordan, Ja'maal and team. I've probably trained with nearly everyone on the team at one point or another, and they're all wonderful because Sweat 60 is a kickass institution at this point. I'm pushing 40 and I have better strength, better agility, better balance, and better conditioning than I had in my 20s. I was never over the 1,000-lb club (Bench + Squat + Deadlift) in the military but I topped 1,100 a couple weeks with the Sweat team a few weeks ago and I'm feeling awesome. read more

Like the Sweat 60 concept. Evan is the best--Great workout program for huge lifestyle change. And more to come!

This is my favorite gym in Los Angeles. Kevin and the entire team were extremely welcoming, easy to communicate with and super flexible when some life changes required me to take a pause on my membership. I most appreciated that joining/being a part of the community was not contingent on anything but your ability to show up consistently and have a good workout. The fellow gym members were also very welcoming! The classes are excellent and each teacher has their own style but collectively all the trainers are able to give you modifications or options if you need them. Highly recommend this gym to anyone and everyone. read more

This gym is so great. I have been to many wonderful gyms and for the price and quality of the classes sweat 60 is at the top of my list. The classes are great and really let you progress He only issue is there is not enough time options for group classes. However with that said I make it there most days and the community is fantastic and inspiring read more

Wonderful 1 hour CrossFit workout! Great instructors, facilities and location! Thank you guys!

The trainers at Sweat 60 are the best!! They are kind, motivating, and fun. As someone who has to be careful of injuries and is not passionate about working out (ie I usually hate it!) I can honestly say that Jordan and the other trainers make working out as painless as possible while still making it challenging! I love that there are all different types of people working out there- the very fit, the new to regular exercise, and young people and older people. It's a fun environment and a great work out ! Highly recommend ! read more

I've always done a lot of running and cardio, and during the Covid era that was basically everything. After driving by Sweat 60 every morning for a while on my way to the office again, I figured that I would give it a try. Kevin hooked me up with a free week of workouts to see if I liked it -- fast forward three months and I'm still going basically every day. This gym is great, with super friendly trainers and a really nice community. There is a great mix of weights and cardio, with a nice atmosphere. I'm not a huge fan of gyms in general, but Sweat 60 is the sweet spot of serious free weight exercises in an accessible setting for everyone. I have only done the group classes here, but I believe that the individual training is also high caliber based on what I've seen. This place is run by thoughtful and inclusive professionals. If you're thinking about joining a gym or taking classes, I highly recommend Sweat 60. read more

Sweat 60 is a great environment to work out at. I did the personal training with coach Evan. Great coach! I went in not knowing much about weighted workouts, and coach Evan showed me each workout with examples before doing. Constant growth, and was able to see progress in strength and endurance in just weeks. Definitely a great program and great environment. I recommend read more

Sweat 60 is unequivocally the most fabulous, extraordinary workout in town! Sweat 60 has the most passionate, dedicated and committed trainers, led by Kevin(owner), Jordan (nutritional guru), Matt, Sean, Jamal and Zak, among many other fantastic trainers). The spacious, open-air space is a converted auto garage, which is a spectacular, safe and exhilarating concept! I love the daily, structured workouts, which are a perfect combination of weight training and cardio, coupled with important pre and post workout stretching routines. Sweat 60 invite members to participate in month-long fitness challenges, which are great for anyone looking to push themselves to level-up! I absolutely love the community of fellow trainees, particularly the 6AM crew who are energetic, supportive and beautiful, both inside-and-out! Conveniently located with ample street parking and to cite Mary Poppins' Sweat 60 is 'supercalifragilisticexpialidocious'!!! read more

I do private training there. Great facility. Very friendly people. Great vibes. Workouts are catered to my ability and fitness level. I don't have anything bad to say about Sweat 60 and I highly recommend it. My trainer Jamaal is the best! read more

I've lifted for over 20 years, training for athletic performance and bodybuilding to general health and wellness. A good 10 years of that, I also coached athletes and worked as a personal trainer. Out of all the gyms I've experienced, I can confidently say that Sweat 60 stands out as the highest quality, most approachable, grounded, and effective gym I've found--it's worth every penny. In my current season of life as a new mom, time is of the essence. I can get in and out in an hour, leave feeling more mobile, stronger and fitter. If you're a parent too you know how critical that is!! The specific trainer I work with is Evan, whose talent for putting people at ease and adapting training to both your wants and needs is exceptional. His approach makes training feel almost effortless yet highly effective. He goes above and beyond to learn whatever's necessary to help you achieve the results you're after. I'd like to note as well that the depth of talent at Sweat 60 sets it apart-- any of the trainers can step in seamlessly, ensuring you never miss a beat. read more

Sweat60 is the last gym you'll join. The trainers are phenomenal from both a expertise and personality perspective. We've become friends in quick fashion and it's fun to go to the gym (even when I don't want to). The facilities are also excellent and meticulously maintained! read more

I came to Sweat 60 in 2019 with a bad back and a broken heart. Kevin and Courtney took my ruined body and tattered soul and nourished me back to health- I took these broken wings and learned to fly again! Now I can deadlift a Volkswagen and reign undefeated at barstool arm wrestling. I'm pretty athletic (great smile, too, I've been told) but I had never learned the fundamentals of olympic lifting, or pushed myself in the way that the Sweat 60 workouts do. The trainers take the time to make sure your form is perfect and that you're lifting properly. Nice family feeling to the classes. No BS. The strength days are my favorite. I love/hate the HIIT/running days, which creep up... "This is fine, this is fine," until I want to barf my evil soul out and question my very existence. There's a special place in my heart for Jordan and Xavier. They keep a keen eye on you, always pushing you for better technique or more effort, or complimenting your fantastic arms and shoulders. Maximum results! Love this place. read more

I've been taking classes at Sweat60 for probably 3yrs now. I've tried several circuit/strength training type gyms on classpass in the past and decided to stick to this gym. We get a spread of options across conditioning, strength and mobility along with some community activities (hiking, beach fun, etc) that foster friendship and community. I love our close knit community and SweatFam in an otherwise fast paced transient city. Come join us for a sweat sesh!! read more

I had been driving by this gym for months before i reached out for services, and I'm so glad I finally did. Sean has been coaching me for a few months and he's wonderful! He takes time to demonstrate every exercise, he pays close attention to my form and he's patiently increasing the weight so i continue to make progress. It's a really supportive, encouraging group of people and I'm happy to see their faces first thing in the morning. If you're reading this review, you want to know more about what Sweat 60 can do for you-- send the email! Get in there! you won't regret it. read more

Hands down my favourite gym in LA! If you're looking for a gym that has quality trainers, has a great sense of community - no matter what your experience level is, and is very personal - look no further. The trainers are all well-qualified, knowledgeable, and want to help you achieve your goals - whatever they may be. Whether you're pregnant, postpartum, injured, or just looking to get fit, Sweat 60 has specialised trainers that will help adapt your workouts as needed in order for you to succeed. I have participated both in group classes and personal training sessions with each trainer and have only had positive experiences. No microphones blasting on loud speakers, every trainer knows you by name, and they help motivate you in the most positive way. The community that Sweat 60 helps foster is really special too. There are events like group hikes, ice bath days, special speakers, and holiday events that Sweat 60 hosts that encourages its members to get to know one another outside of the daily workout classes. Everyone there, new or old, feels like family at the end of the day. I can't say enough good things about this gym and am so grateful to have found them! Give a class a try and you won't be disappointed. read more

Sean and Sweat 60 start my day in such a positive, awesome, sweaty way every time. My friend and I do semi-private sessions 3x a week and are getting so much out of it. I look and feel stronger. Sean is super encouraging and always keeps things fun while kicking our asses. He is patient and kind and never lets me give up on myself. I never thought I'd be one of those crazy, smiley, high-fiving morning workout people. But the energy at Sweat 60 is so contagious. I always leave feeling like I can crush my day! Love this place! read more

I've been more of a yoga and hiking person because gym equipment intimidated me. And, group classes wrecked me. That is, until Sweat 60. Whether in one on one workouts or group class settings, the coaches here actually make sure that you work up to your greatest fitness potential without overtraining or bad form or bad technique. The workouts are never boring and push you and those around you to do your best - even in group classes! All the coaches here are extremely welcoming and energetic, making me wonder how much caffeine I need to drink to get on their level in the mornings. Since starting out here, I don't think I've ever been in better shape - and I know that the best is yet to come! I've gotten more confident with my fitness routine thanks to the coaches here (shoutout to Xavier and Jordan!) and I've even incorporated functional movements into my day-to-day living. Be it carrying heavy suitcases or opening Talenti gelato jars (BRUTAL), these improvements make workouts worth the torture. I'm currently tapering off of leg rehab from a hiking injury, and I've already worked my way back into heavy lifts and maybe even better technique than before thanks to Xavier's guidance. For anyone looking for great workouts and real results... look no further! This place is it. read more

Let me just start out by saying I rarely write reviews unless I really like something and this place I absolutely love! I joined Sweat60 about 2 months ago after my gym closed. I thought I was getting a great workout there but this gym is on a different scale and level all together. The workouts are meticulously thought-out and planned, different every day and lots of fun (no doubt a good deal of time goes into designing each and everyone). They are challenging with lots of complex movements, engaging multiple muscle groups and a perfect mix of cardio and strength training. You're guaranteed to be sore after every workout. I've already started seeing better endurance and a difference in my body's muscle definition. The trainers are phenomenal; very knowledgeable and super attentive. The class sizes are small enough that each client gets individual attention and coaching on a regular basis. So truly an exceptional gym. I wouldn't go anywhere else! read more

I was first exposed to Sweat 60 through Classpass after moving to LA and not knowing where to go for a workout. Within just a few weeks of checking out all the local spots, it became obvious that Sweat 60 was the place to be and had to sign up directly. Not only are these classes much smaller (10-20 ppl max) with a dedicated trainer, but you also have at least 2 (if not all 4) of the other trainers floating around making sure you work out correctly. No other gym gets even close to that much personal attention in a group setting. All the trainers are super friendly and make you feel like family from the very beginning. Each trainer introduces themselves, gets to know your goals, understands any previous injuries, and REMEMBERS you on all your subsequent workouts - that level of commitment from a trainer is unmatched. For me, I came into Sweat 60 not realizing I had pretty awful form with some core moves like squats, deadlifts, etc. which ended up having a large effect on my ability to lift heavy. Within 3 months of working out with this team, I've been able to add over 100 pounds to my deadlift and squat without any sort of injury. Not only do they make sure you're safe and getting stronger, the trainers motivate you to get outside your comfort zone and push both the physical and mental boundaries we put on ourselves. They also understand the nuances of heavy lifting and have the equipment to help with recovery after a badass workout. If you're looking for a gym that will get you excited to workout and see results, go to Sweat 60. The choice will be obvious once you get there. read more

Sweat 60 provides a personalized experience in a group fitness class setting (they also offer semi-private and private training if you're looking for a truly personalized workout). Kevin and the coaches truly care about your fitness journey. It's a positive, welcoming atmosphere, and the classes consist of a huge range of ages and fitness levels. The coaches are very attentive to form and will give individual feedback, as well as provide exercise modifications for injuries. I really enjoy the workout programming over the course of the week which provides a full body workout and makes it easy to notice increased strength over periods of time. The pacing of the classes are great - it's a tough workout, but there is enough rest time between sets that I'm not completely gassed by the end. The class takes place primarily outside (and in a garage), so keep the weather in mind when deciding what to wear. I recommend dressing in layers that you can shed as you warm up. Also, I wear dark-colored workout clothes that I don't mind getting grungy - this may not be the best place to wear your cute light-colored workout sets. Sweat 60 is my favorite group workout, and I would recommend to anyone, no matter where you are in your fitness journey! read more

I went to this gym based on it's great reviews, and that it's only three minutes from my house by car. They took my readings on a machine to get my fitness level for a baseline and I had a great complimentary first exercise session with Coach Evan. I started getting put off though at the end of the session when I was being pressured to make a commitment and to give my credit card number. I said I would come back if I wanted to sign up because they told me they don't have an online sign up. I asked them to send me pricing information. And Evan texted me pricing sheet for privates and semi privates. The cost was high and they expected me to make a commitment to approximately $665-$1200 a month. When I looked at more information on the website after I got home I found that they have a monthly membership of $195 a month for group classes and when I told Evan that I would be happy to sign up for those, he said he taught some of them and would be happy to see me in classes. When I called in to give my credit card information, I was told that my fitness level was too low and they wouldn't work with me. I was astounded since I was on the machine when they took the readings and my levels were between the two bars that they needed to be between. This made me think that either the gym owner was really pressuring the coaches to sign people up for privates, or that the coach was new to this and just didn't have very good skills with signing people up. Either way, I could not recommend this establishment. In reply to the business's comment to my review: it was high-pressure gouging pushing to get my credit card information and commitment immediately, even after I said I needed to think about it and return if interested. You can claim your concern was about safety because that makes you look better, but why the high pressure for my payment info? Also, a minimum of 2 private sessions per week, no flexibility when I asked for one 1 private per week plus a home routine. Gouging. read more

Sweat 60 is so much more to me than the best trainers in town. It's provided me a new community of likeminded healthy, driven and fun people who I feel accountable to. As an added bonus, there's an amazing Sweat Athletics program for my daughter and you can see the difference in her on the field. I cant recommend Sweat 60 enough if you want to transform your body, build strength and be surrounded by amazing people! read more

I have joined SWEAT 60 right after it opened. First my company provided workout day for employees so I took the classes. It was fun then I decided to take more classes on my own and brought my friend to work out with me. We both love SWEAT 60 that they are very personable rather than just a class. All trainers are very helpful they would help your posture for workout and encourage you to go for level up on your own terms. I took one on one training class with Ja'maal before my 30K trail running and it helped me a lot to gain the confidence to go for this long run. He was very articulate for what muscle to work on and what I need for the running. My point is it's Fun to workout at SWAT60 with all SWEAT60 members ! read more

I've been coming 3 x a week for two years. In amazing shape now overcame injuries and love every ounce of sweat I leave behind. Almost don't want to say great things bc I don't wanna have to fight for space in the future :) nice work kev read more

I came across Sweat60 in May 2021 in a search to work out again in a fun, motivational environment after coming off the emotional rollercoaster 2020 threw at us. Fast forward 9 months, I've seen so many wonderful changes in my overall strength, back/hip pain is gone (!!), and I actually look forward to working out. Super grateful to have found such a wonderful team of knowledgeable coaches who deliver positive vibes and amazing workouts week after week. If they can get me out of bed at 6am, they're definitely doing something right. Seriously, look no further for your fitness goals. They'll deliver and then some! read more

When I joined Sweat60 I was training for my second marathon and I was determined to add strength to help with my endurance and improve my running. I had never seriously lifted weights because I just didn't really think I would like it- I thought it would be boring. Flash forward 6 months and I have been addicted to the Sweat60 classes. As someone who has tried most all of the popular Hitt,cycle,Barr, yoga classes in Southern California- I have to say that Sweat60 just hits different! The awesome coaches and classes make training fun and something I look forward during the week. If your looking to get in incredible shape, join a supportive community and have fun- Sweat60 is the place for you read more

I wish I could give this place 10 stars. It's such an amazing community of people. The coaches are knowledgeable as can be and their energy is contagious. The workouts are tough and adjustable for all skill sets. read more

Great place for workouts! My man J'maal is the most motivating coach ever! Everyone at the gym is super professional and high energy.

Great gym with attentive instructors! The workouts are diverse and challenging with a variety of equipment.

I came to sweat 60 after a herniated disc in my back several months ago. I used to be so physically active and found myself avoiding the gym out of fear of not knowing what I was capable of after my injury and was seeking guidance reintegrating strength training. I have been working with Xavier for a little over a month now and I can't express my gratitude enough. His awareness for my injury and keeping me safe while simultaneously pushing me to grow has been amazing. Everyone at the gym is so positive and friendly and it's just a great community all together. I love that I don't feel intimated there after having to basically start over in the fitness world. Most importantly I'm starting to feel like myself again and feel so good mentally and physically after our workouts. Thank you sweat 60, you guys are the best. read more

I decided to check out this Gym because it was in my neighborhood and I wanted to test out a new circuit training spot to get stronger. I usually go to Orange Theory or Barry's and I wanted a more personalized experience. I am so glad I checked it out because it actually is a workout I look forward to going to. The trainers are great - they push you but are also super friendly, the people that attend are awesome, and the atmosphere is motivating. I would definitely recommend joining! read more

If I could give more than a 5-star rating I would!! Kevin and his trainers are extremely knowledgeable, friendly, and motivating. Each time you walk away from a training session or class you feel like a better person. This is more than just your standard cookie-cutter gym or HIIT class. The trainers take the time to properly walk you through each exercise as well as start each session with a dynamic warm-up. The classes are challenging but fun and can be applied to all fitness levels. Kevin and his trainers know how to push limits while always keep health and safety as the #1 priority. If you're looking to step up your fitness routine, crush your goals and enjoy meeting friendly easy-going people, Sweat 60 is the place to be! read more

Wonderful experince getting to train with Ja'maal at Sweat 60. The workout can be challenging but fun. Most importantly I am achieving my goals. Everyone in the studio has a smile on there faces and is warm and welcoming. From a former surfer and yogi I really enjoy Sweat60, it has a great balance and flow to the class that makes you looking forward to next. read more

Love this place! I've been going to Sweat60 for a couple months now and I absolutely love it! The coaches are all very knowledgeable, friendly and occasionally funny (kidding- they all have good jokes). They make class fun and really focus on creating a strong feeling of community. They greet you by name every time you walk into class and always check on you to make sure you're doing well. They have a good schedule of classes that allows you to get conditioning, strength training and mobility throughout the week. Would highly recommend this spot if you're looking for a fun place to workout that comes with a good community of people. read more

Great people, excellent personal training offering. Sauna and cold plunge onsite too. Zak is an excellent coach!

TLDR: DON'T GO TO ANY GYM THAT ISN'T THIS GYM!!! My girlfriend and I were interested in personal training and stumbled across Sweat 60 online. Well let me just say they have BLOWN US AWAY. Sweat 60 is a hidden gem of a gym, tucked away down a side street off Pico. It's a judgement-free zone, the trainers there are honestly so kind and friendly. Every Wednesday and Friday AM we're greeted with a smile. As for the personal training itself - it's top notch. Our trainer Jordan is such a chill guy, we have the best conversations and laugh through our entire workout. We're only 6 weeks in and I'm already starting to see some changes to my body. The group classes also look extremely fun, and the music is p. dope - lot's of good deep house :) SO basically, go to Sweat 60. Or miss out. read more
