    The old guy was great, but the new ladies need to treat people better. You can't just walk all over people. Will never be returning.

Also, running on sand is hard for some people. If thats the case then you can run on the road. If you are looking to lose weight, gain core agil strengh, then you'll get that. I'd say try it out.

It's such a wonderfully supportive and encouraging atmosphere with friendly and down to earth people it will keep you coming back week after week and year after year.

He takes the time to understand you and what you need, which makes such a difference. Not only has he built a great team of trainers, but he's also a wonderful coach himself--compassionate, kind, encouraging, and genuinely invested in the people he works with. You can tell that he cares about you as a human being, not just your muscular strength, your physique, or what you can accomplish in the gym. That kind of care and leadership is rare, and it makes the entire training experience feel supportive, motivating, and personal. I highly recommend Austin as a coach but as one of the reasons to join the club!

She has this really rare ability to read your body and know exactly how much pressure to apply and treats your session truly as a healing experience. And she actually loves what she does. She's got a fun personality and you feel taken care of. If you were to make just one decision about treating your body right... GO SEE LYGIA!

Shannon is great at providing different accommodations based off skill level and/or injury. Kris is super motivating and is super helpful in guiding you when you're working out on the bench press. Bonus is that Sydney makes an appearance occasionally (Kris's dog) lol My schedule has stopped me from going back the last month, but the atmosphere and the regulars who show up on Sundays are calling my name.

It is the first gym where I felt comfortable at and actually felt that the staff cared about achieving your goals. What attracted to me at first was that they specialize on people who are over 40 (I am 57) which was perfect for me. I feel I have learned about my needs and this padawan can now go work out on his own. Thank you Kris and my trainer - Chuck. It was truly an amazing experience and in time I want to return to brush up on my training after I fly on my own. Highly recommended.

    This is, hands down, the best LA Fitness in the city. What makes this gym particularly notable is…read moreits friendly, hard-working, and ubiquitous manager, Prince, who has impressed upon guests a shared ethic or, in his words, a "club culture" that maintains everything organized, in its proper place, and clean. The only downside is that it can get a bit crowded during the early morning rush. Also, the parking situation is a bit of a hellscape in the morning, since it's valet and cars are parked in tandem due to limited space.

    September 22, between approximately 6:00 PM and 8:00 PM, my shoes were stolen from the men's locker…read moreroom. I entered the locker room, left my shoes next to my locker, and went to the sauna. When I returned, the shoes were gone. I have attached a photo of the shoes for identification. I would appreciate it if you could also inform your members that anyone who witnessed anything or has information regarding the incident should report it to the front desk. I am formally requesting that management investigate this incident and review all available security camera footage from the relevant time period, particularly footage covering entrances, exits, hallways, and other areas surrounding the men's locker room. I also strongly recommend that the staff receive appropriate training on how to respond to reports of theft. When I informed the front desk employees about what had happened, I was very disappointed by their response. I was left with the impression that they did not take the incident seriously and were largely indifferent to the situation. This was extremely frustrating and inappropriate given the circumstances. I have already filed a police report. I expect that the police may contact your facility within approximately one week regarding this incident. Please preserve any relevant surveillance footage from September 22 between 6:00 PM and 8:00 PM so that it is available for review and can be provided to law enforcement if requested. I am asking management to resolve this matter appropriately. I propose that the gym either reimburse me for the cost of the stolen shoes or provide a comparable pair of original-quality tennis shoes. If this matter is not addressed appropriately, I intend to share my experience through reviews on relevant platforms and inform other members about what happened, including both the theft and the response I received from the front desk staff. This situation is extremely unpleasant, and I am particularly disappointed by the way it was handled after I reported it. I would appreciate a prompt response from management regarding the investigation and how you intend to address this matter. UPDATE! WARNING! THESE DAYS, THIS GYM IS NOT A SAFE PLACE FOR YOUR PERSONAL BELONGINGS! Things are literally being stolen inside this gym, and the staff simply does not care. They act as if this situation is completely normal.After my belongings were stolen, I left a note at the front desk asking the manager to call me. The staff assured me that the manager would look into the situation and contact me. Nobody ever called.Two days later, I called the gym myself and asked the manager to investigate what happened. Again, nobody did anything. Four days after the theft, I came back to the gym, asked whether there were any updates, and requested to speak with the manager. A Black man came out, introduced himself as the manager, and told me that if my belongings were stolen at the gym, it was my responsibility and that they did not care. I was extremely surprised by this response because they had done absolutely nothing: no announcements over the PA system, no apparent review of security cameras, and no meaningful attempt to address the situation. When I asked why this was happening and whether they considered it normal that the gym currently feels unsafe because there are apparently thieves among the people using the facility, I received no meaningful response. Shame on the management of this gym! On top of this, management has failed to address two other major ongoing problems: the parking situation and the constant bad smell in the free-weight area. A competent manager could at least take meaningful steps to address these issues, yet this management team appears to do nothing and simply smiles when members raise concerns. In my opinion, a location like this deserves qualified, professional employees who take members' concerns seriously. Instead, the current management is damaging the reputation and rating of this gym day after day, while apparently asking people they know to leave positive reviews. Members should be aware of the situation and take extra precautions with their personal belongings.

I've been training with her weekly since June and have made significant progress with my strength goals through the programming and guidance she has set me up with. After lifting solo in the past and not having that one-on-one in person feedback and coaching, it has been a breath of fresh air to work with someone who empowers me with new knowledge and the science behind certain areas of lifting. She motivates me and pushes me to be my best every session we work together (even when I'm full of self doubt). I've been able to build up strength across the board in all three lifts (bench/deadlift/squat) with my Powerlifting programming and exceed all my former PRs. I can't imagine working with anyone else! I will be sticking with her as long as I'm living in LA and as long as she takes clients. My programming is updated every 8 weeks and we PR test as needed. There are a lot of weird egos in fitness across LA and I can kindly say that there is none of that energy here, and Michelle is truly dedicated to her craft and very well educated on all things strength/nutrition. I'd recommend her without hesitation to anyone who can budget in working with a personal trainer. Bonus points: she's actually hilarious as well!

From day one, there was zero judgment, which made it easy for me to be honest about my fears, roadblocks, and goals. She truly takes the time to get to know me and tailors every session to how my body is feeling and what's going on in my life. Her deep knowledge of the body really shows and it's why I trust her and feel safe pushing myself with her. I'm getting real results and am now doing things in the gym I was always fearful of or never thought I could do!!! Every session is challenging but incredibly supportive. Highly recommend!
