    Working on explosion with Kevin
    Rudy V.

    One of the most advanced, state -of -the art gyms I've EVER been to . My trainer Kevin is the best. He has infinite knowledge on proper lifting techniques, bodywork , nutrition, and muscle/body composition. Highly recommend to anyone that wants to take their fitness to the next level. -Clean clean and did I mention clean gym (very important) -Organized gym with no clutter -very cool neon lights -friendly and knowledgeable staff

    As a fitness professional and bodybuilder who's tried hundreds of gyms, I was immensely impressed with how well The Lab was equipped with such limited space. The Kieser air pressure equipment is top notch, and everything is extremely well thought out. The energy is amazing, and the owner is amazing. Can't wait to go back.

    Another session with my coach Jake Davis (Body Upgrade) at The Lab.

    The Lab on Sunset is a premier gym for many reasons -- the sophisticated equipment, the location, the high-end trainers, the members, and the owners. I have been a member of the lab for almost 2 years training with my coach Jake Davis (Body Upgrade). I've seen a phenomenal change in my mind and body. I LOVE this gym because Rocco has cultivated an environment of respect and hard work. The members vary in terms of levels of fitness and goals, but everyone is serious about the work they put in. Between the Keiser air pressure machines, cardio machines, multiple weightlifting areas, and area for boxing and stretching, there is something for everyone! Rocco, Michael and Zack - the owners - are so lovely and personable. They've done a fantastic job of creating a beautiful, clean and safe environment. They are also a great resource - whether it's a discussion about coaching or about how I can elevate my experience in other areas of fitness. They also show their care for community in and around the gym by hosting fun events. Definitely check it out!!

The staff is great at showing you around for your first class and they have benches you can sit at while you wait for the class to start. The class format had three stations with three exercises and we rotated through each station for 1 min circuits for 10 minutes then switched to the other one. The studio had a good mix of equipment, medicine balls, dumbbells, exercise balls, boxes, etc. It's fast paced and they don't cool the room so you work up a big sweat quickly. The demographic of the class I went to was mostly 40-55 age range and the studio has kids program so it definitely gives off a family friendly feel. Michelle was great at knowing people's names and giving personal encouragement and feedback to everyone in the room. Final note, I love that they have black sweat towels!

We didn't notice the free intro class they have with Yelp, but we signed up for a session on ClassPass. This review is from the perspective of someone who's done light circuit-training. It was more difficult than I was used to, but not unbearably so! When I arrived, I was greeted by Craig, who warmly gave me a quick tour around the studio. The space itself is bright and clean, with a modern flair. There's a warm-up area up front, and then a darker room where the circuit-training happens. In the back, there are lockers and bathrooms. We took a 45-minute FIT class with Tiffany on a Tuesday morning. There were only 2 others in the class. The class consisted of a warm-up followed by 3 stations with 3 activities each that we looped through 3 times each. After circuit-training, we concluded with an ab workout on the mats, which was quite strenuous too (I had been expecting to just end with stretches). I also really appreciated how well-ventilated the room was - when we were wrapping up, there was extra air cooling the room, which made it very refreshing. Overall, the workout was well-organized and sufficiently challenging! Tiffany was upbeat, engaging, and full of positive energy, and she gave me and my friend guidance along the way with positioning and movements. She remembered our names and encouraged us every step along the way! We really enjoyed our WOLA experience, and we appreciate how helpful and motivational Tiffany was! As we left, they even gave my friend a balloon for her birthday :)

Easton's owner Toby and his passionate staff have facilitated a respectful and supportive community over a long period of time where all bodies are welcome, member input is prioritized, and most importantly, re-racking your weights and putting shit back where you found it is the norm! Working out at Easton feels like being part of a long tradition in Los Angeles. Even though the equipment isn't as new or exciting as other places and "it doesn't have air conditioning!" as everyone LOVES to say, nothing beats working out within Easton's beautiful brick walls, amongst vintage windows that catch a refreshing cross-breeze and dumbbells that look like they were carried by strong men in the 1940's. Easton rarely gets frustratingly crowded, and its members overall are simply RESPECTFUL, relaxed, authentic, and make this the type of business you can only find in Los Angeles. I love Easton gym!

    I've been attending the BX classes at Brick for about 5 years, it is my go-to HIIT style class…read more It's always challenging! The format changes on a daily basis, so it's never boring. The class is a combination of cardio (assault bikes, rowers, tru form treadmills) and strength exercises (TRX, dumbbells, TRX, body weight). If you like a fast paced workout that will always leave you drenched with sweat, you'll love the BX classes! However, I was inspired to write this review as a word of caution. This class is NOT for beginners! Of course everyone can go at their own speed, use light weights, etc.... but if you don't have at least basic knowledge of common movements and some prior cardio experience, this is going to be too much to just waltz into. I have personally witnessed someone inexperienced with this style of class come in for their first visit and have to leave halfway through the class because you really can't just jump right into something of this level. But if you walk in prepared and you know what you're getting into, you'll really enjoy yourself!
