I've gym-hopped more than I care to admit, but this place? This one's the one. The community is…read moretop-tier--friendly, motivating, and just the right amount of sweaty. There's always something social going on (burpees and paddleboarding? Yes, please but not together). Parking is a breeze (shocking for Long Beach, I know), and the fact that Trader Joe's is right here? Peak efficiency. The coaches--Sydney, Christine, Fernando, Ashley, and Stephanie--are like my fitness fairy godparents: encouraging, eagle-eyed, and genuinely invested in your progress. Bonus points: showers on-site for that post-sweat rinse, the magical InBody machine to track gains, and fresh towels that feel like little cotton hugs. When I first started, I couldn't manage more than three sad little push-ups. Now? Let's just say I've upgraded to "push-up show-off." The space is spotless, the vibe is right, and these are 100% my people. I feel strong, supported, and totally hooked.

I don't dread coming to the gym and the workouts go by so fast and I actually see results. They have amazing trainers that really push you to be better! I love the different workouts and how it switches from cardio to weight lifting and also hybrid. If you're unsure you can always try out a trial to see if it is something you like!

You'll push past boundaries and emerge a better version of yourself physically and mentally. Do yourself a favor, drop in, workout and feel the "vibe" for yourself. You'll leave feeling great.

These ladies mean business! I recommend this to anyone!

Remember Jazzercise? I hadn't heard that word since the 80's but it's still around. In fact, it's…read morebeen around for 40 years. While the term conjures images of unnecessary belts "holding up" electric hued leotards and finished off with leg warmers over Reeboks, its been updated. My first class was soundtracked with nominated and winning songs from the 2013 Grammys. Though the first class was small -- with 4 people in the place including the instructor -- it was surprisingly fun and upbeat. The studio looks like a new and well-kept studio with the rack of weights, tubes, workout mats, and stability balls. It's basically a dance party with props and I like the community feel. I'm looking forward to more classes and getting to know the regulars.

I've been coming to Metroflex for several months now (since around April/May), and honestly... it…read morefeels like home. I originally found this gym because of my trainer, Bob, and I'm so glad I did. Metroflex is definitely old-school but in the best way possible. It's not overcrowded, there's room to actually train, and you're not fighting for equipment like you do at commercial gyms. What I love most is that they literally have everything: powerlifting, Olympic weightlifting, bodybuilding, CrossFit-style training, boxing, you name it. No matter what type of training you're into, this gym has the equipment and the space to support it. Coming from a commercial gym where it was always packed, limited machines, and chaotic, this place was a breath of fresh air. The vibe here is different. Everyone is welcoming, friendly, and actually there to work. Another huge plus: this gym is always open even on holidays. Hours might be a little shorter on a holiday, but they're still open, which means you can always get your workout in. That alone says a lot about how much they care about their members. It's hard to find a gym that checks all the boxes, but Metroflex really does. If you're serious about training and want a gym that feels like a community instead of a zoo, this is the spot.

I tried almost every gym in Long Beach but didn't really connect with any of them--until I stumbled upon Hardworx fitness Gym. From the moment I walked in, I instantly fell in love with the vibe. The energy here is unmatched! The classes are amazing, the coaches are talented and motivating, and everyone I've encountered has been so welcoming and professional. The gym has everything I need, it's never overcrowded, and I always get a solid workout in. Their personal training and group classes are top-notch, and the easy, spacious parking and great location are a huge plus. I love living in Long Beach, and I'm so happy I found Hardworx--it's truly my fitness home!

I took a free class last Monday. The people were friendly, and the class itself was alright fun…read moreoverall, but not very beginner friendly imo.The reason for my one star rating is the smell. Not the gym itself, but the gloves they provided and the mats we used for the ab workout. The odor was so bad it gave me a headache, and I've been congested all week since. My nose genuinely hasn't felt the same.On top of that, I called three times today using the number listed on Google to ask about the equipment and whether I just got unlucky, and each time I was sent to voicemail.I'm glad the class was free, but at what cost ...my sense of smell? Shame :(

It's so easy to build a personal connection with both the staff and the coaches. They learn your name, remember your goals, and give you that extra push when you need it. Every class feels welcoming, upbeat, and fun, even on the days you show up tired (or late). This is a shout out to everyone in the studio, but I especially want to recognize Lilly. She always puts a smile on my face before the workout and sets the tone for an amazing class. Her energy, kindness, and positivity are a big part of why I and many others keep coming back.

The class structure is amazing: balanced, efficient, and never boring. The technology is amazing. It really keeps me on track.

It's an incredible mix of aerobic conditioning and weight training, and the variety keeps me coming back. I never thought I would enjoy running on a treadmill, but somehow I actually love it here. Absolutely recommend it to anyone looking to switch things up while still getting a fantastic workout.
