    Excellent gym. Bob and Toby are great. If you have any interest in serious Olympic lifting and doing it correctly, try this place.

They have top-notch equipment, so whether you're lifting, doing cardio, or circuit training, you'll find everything you need. The recovery rooms are what truly set this place apart. They offer a cold plunge, infrared sauna, a Spectra Red Light bed, and several other wellness devices that make recovery feel next level. I also love that it's a private gym--never overcrowded, so you get a much more personal and focused experience. The entire space is clean, modern, and thoughtfully designed for both fitness and recovery.

After a pretty severe injury on…read moreSunday, I began searching for a place that offered BEMER therapy--a treatment that uses pulsed electromagnetic fields (PEMF) to improve microcirculation, boost oxygen delivery, and support faster healing at the cellular level. That's how I discovered Revision--a gym and wellness center, just four minutes from my office. I immediately signed up for a month-long membership, which includes unlimited access to all of their wellness technologies. I started with BEMER, then added LightStim (a powerful red and infrared LED light therapy that reduces inflammation and speeds tissue repair), and today I tried localized cryotherapy, which delivers deeply cooling air to reduce pain and swelling right where you need it. The staff has been nothing but amazing--warm, knowledgeable, and incredibly supportive. They've taken the time to walk me through each device and how it supports my recovery. I genuinely cannot wait until I'm healed enough to start using their gym, too. This place is an absolute gold mine. I'm so glad I found it, and I truly couldn't be happier.

    I swear to god! I really love coming to 24 Hour Fitness!…read moreI have been coming to this gym ever since the end of the pandemic as a result of my gaining weight during the shutdown orders. I love the fact that this location is actually open 24 Hours a day and 7 days a week. Those hours are extremely convenient if you are restless at 2:00am and are looking to burn off some energy. Everything, down to the last shower stall, is well worth the bus ride from my house to this gym. I especially like the fact that the geography is exceedingly convenient, as you have this gym, the Topanga Village, Costco, and Topanga Mall all in one spot! I will definitely be coming back for a Long, Long time!

    Here we are again.. in getting really tired of this. So I recvd a Letter from 24hr fitness yrs ago…read morestating that I'm grandfathered into the system since it was Family fitness. I walked in to this 24hr located on Topanga Canyon blvd. This place is new so therefore it's not on the letter I. Recvd, I scanned my cell, I was approached by a team member staff letting me me know I can't use this facility that's only been here less than 10 yrs I told him I'm grandfathered in, he told me it doesn't matter!! How rude This is the type of stuff that makes you wanna own your own home gym, i emailed 24hr fitness 3 wks ago, but I've recvd no correspondence from them.. At this point I may have to contact BBB, to get full correspondences and correction for my membership.. in the past the other 24hr fitness's have not replaced seats, the showers were nasty and they had cobwebs for non cleaning and some of the machines just don't work. If I'm going to get turned down every time I go to a 24hr fitness, I may have to cancel my membership for unfairness This is wack!!

    I've been taking Pilates classes at the Agoura Hills location and recently upgraded to the…read moremulti-location class pass so I could also attend classes at the Woodland Hills LA Fitness location. With the upgrade, there were a few backend issues, which meant I interacted with the front desk more than usual. What stood out to me was how positive that experience was because of the people working there. The front desk team at this location has been consistently warm, welcoming, and supportive. Every interaction I've had has been friendly and reassuring. Going to the gym can already feel intimidating for a lot of people, and having staff who greet you, smile, and genuinely want to help makes a big difference in whether you feel comfortable walking in the door. I especially want to mention Uriel. I'm not sure of his exact role, but he truly represents the tone of the front desk team. He's kind, patient, and attentive, and he makes you feel seen rather than rushed or dismissed. Employees like him are a big reason members feel safe and encouraged to keep showing up. A couple of days ago, I went in again to check on the status of my upgrade. The person assisting me wasn't sure how to resolve it and asked another staff member to step in. That individual, Rob, who I later learned is the general manager, had a noticeably different demeanor from the rest of the team. From the start, his tone felt defensive and closed off. There was no warmth or sense of wanting to help, and the interaction felt uncomfortable. Instead of feeling supported, I felt as though I was inconveniencing him simply by asking a question. In a gym environment, where many members already feel vulnerable, that kind of interaction can be discouraging. What stood out most was the contrast. The front desk staff consistently creates a welcoming and encouraging environment, while this interaction with leadership did the opposite. Leadership tone sets culture, and moments like this can either reinforce or undermine the experience members have. I'm sharing this because the front desk team truly deserves recognition, and because member-facing leadership interactions matter more than people realize.

It feels that this Mgr, Andy goes out of his way to make the experience of members a negative one. Frankly it feels like that the staff thinks that the members are here to serve the staff instead of the staff serving the members. One perfect example is placing a clock in the workout area. The MEMBERS have been asking for a clock in all workout areas. After about a year they finally place ONE clock in the main workout room however they placed it facing the instructor and facing the members who had been requesting it. The concept of customer service is completely lost on the mgmt. The there is the issue of dust in EVERY corner of the workout areas here at a few pics. Every time when I am in any class and people place their mats on the floor all the dust keep flying all over! All these improvements with poor mgmt is meaningless.

    After reading some of the negative reviews, I have to chime in. Hearing a response from the owner…read moreis one thing, but hearing it from a customer is another. And I would like to address some of the things said. I have been a member of Flex for about a year and a half now. In my opinion, it's the best in the valley. I tried 24 hr fitness - multiple women in the locker room had their lockers broken into, wallets and keys stolen. A member told me the bathroom upstairs and locker room are always "gross" (and they were). The gym floor was also gross, and nothing was ever put back in place I had a membership at LA Fitness. It was alright. Not the cleanest, nothing was ever put back, and the equipment isn't the best First off, the only reason I'm giving 4 and not 5 stars, is the hours of operation. I wish they were open later every day, and earlier on Sundays. Why I love Flex: 1. The machines. Someone said the machines are old, which is WILD, because they're not... they actually have a ton of new machines (some as new as this year). And they have machines you will not find at most gym. Examples: reverse hyper, bootybuilder hip thrust machine, belt squat machine, pendulum squat, 3 different hack squat machines, seated straight leg calf machine, arsenal strength shoulder machines, power racks, deadlift jack, prowler/sled, tires, heavy bags, and cable attachments such as MAG grip cable attachments... It's the cleanest gym in the valley that I've been to. I had a membership to ZOO Culture before they moved, have been a member at La fitness, and tried a guest pass to 24 (two separate times... the second because they said things improved and to give them another chance)... anyway, Flex has cleaning staff working all the time. And people walking around re-racking weights (although most members are good about doing it themselves). One person said the gym is disgusting and they're afraid to step foot in the shower or steam room... which is just silly. I've showered there numerous times. It's clean. Just bring your own stuff (body wash, shampoo, etc).. and there is no steam room lol there is a sauna. And the sauna is always clean Someone said equipment stays broken for weeks and I have no idea what they're talking about. I train 4-5X/week and don't even know what equipment they're talking about being broken. I think they wrote a comment for the wrong gym, honestly, because nothing they said makes sense. I saw a complaint about the trainer with the orange truck... he's intense, but if you actually talk to him, he's very nice. And always willing to let you work in, if he's using a machine you want to use. If he "takes" a machine you were using, just talk to him. It's possible he didn't know, and it wasn't purposeful I've also seen complaints about the owners, and I've had 0 issues with either of them. Quite the opposite. They're always friendly and pleasant

He's one of the finest individuals I've ever had the privilege to call a friend. Beyond that, he is a fantastic trainer. His intelligence, passion and care are steeped into the Legion. He's been working on this concept for years and it shows. The equipment has been carefully selected to create a fully rounded workout experience that is specific yet malleable. The classes are fun and challenging. The group classes are capped so they never feel crowded and there is always personal attention. The class atmosphere is supportive and enervating. The rest of the teachers are wonderful as well. Gabe, the Eli's, Melissa, they're all great. You can push yourself, but the trainers will always make sure to keep your form right and make sure you never over do it. The space is awesome. I love working out on the terrace. Inside, there are amazing pneumatic machines that are like nothing I've ever used before. Do yourself a favor, try a class. The first one's free. Your body will thank you. Maybe not the morning after, but if you keep at it, you'll notice a big difference quickly.
