    Adult workout room - back
    Eunice L.

    This is a redemption story of the highest order. Whoaaa LA! The very first time I tried to come here on a Friday afternoon, I was misdirected by the receptionist on the color of the back door (for the record, it's tangerine orange) and furthermore, there was not an inch of parking space to be found in the back or front. So, this non-quitter gave up and went elsewhere. Now that's saying something! I tried coming again on a Sunday and was successful! Here's what I've learned since and why I've become a member: + PROMPT AND PUNCTUAL!!! 45 minutes from start to finish, with classes starting and ending exactly as scheduled. I've been burned by other studios not respecting their clients' time and lagging behind on their advertised start and end times, which has downstream effects on my schedule. Not here though -- if you're running a minute behind, you'll miss a minute of the warm-up, plain and simple! I appreciate how exact the timing is and am thus able to time my commute to the seconds. + VARIABLE EXERCISES!!! Around 5 minutes of warm-up, followed by 3 circuits consisting of 3 exercises each (40 second sets at your own pace and desired modifications if needed, 20 seconds to move to the next exercise, and 1 minute rest/water break between circuits), finished with around 5 minutes of ab exercises and stretching. The FIT workouts (rebranded from WOLA WAY) rotate on a 25 day cycle basis (+/- a few days, I forget the actual cycle length) so you'll basically be doing a different workout every day of the month. Furthermore, there's some cool technology where the first and third exercises are visually demonstrated on a TV monitor at the front of the room! + AMAZING SERVICE!!! This is the only studio I've been to where the instructors wipe down the mats for you after your workout (just leave it behind after you use it for ab work/stretching at the end) vs. you having to wait for a wipe, wipe down your mat, wait in line to hang your mat back on the wall, etc. I still have to fight the urge to self-service my mat at the end of each workout, but am grateful for even the minute that this added gesture saves me each morning. Towels are provided as well! + ADMIRABLE BUSINESS MODEL!!! The business saw a void in the fitness industry, where parents could not get in a workout without (a) getting a sitter for the kids, (b) bringing the kids to the facility and shoving them in a corner with an iPad (I've actually witnessed this recently at another studio), or (c) parents had to get their own workout in at an odd hour then sit idle while kids were at their own sports activity. Not here. There are simultaneous classes for adult (FIT) and kids (FIT Youth) offered during certain times during the day so adults and kids can workout in separate rooms during the same hour. There are also joint classes offered on certain days (FIT Family) so adults and kids can workout together with variable weights. This makes total sense, I'd be completely enamored if I had kids! Some suggestions as the business continues to grow and expand (i.e., WO-[insert city here]): - Would LOVE if there were more consistent workout times! Earliest classes are 6:00am on Monday, 6:00am and 7:00am on Tuesday, 9:00am on Wednesday, 6:00 and 7:00am on Thursday, and 9:00am Friday through Sunday. I've had to resort to ClassPass-ing at other studios on Wednesdays and Fridays to get a workout in before work. - Would be great if there was hand sanitizer near the back door to quickly sanitize on the way out. - Appreciate that most people don't bring a lot of personal items in the mornings, and it's quicker to stash on the floor in the workout room. However, it's distracting when people continuously check their phones during the workout (which is contagious, also guilty) and would be better if the usage of lockers were encouraged (even if kept unlocked for convenience), which will be important as word continues to get out and classes grow in size. - Better marketing! I was confused when doing my initial research since most of the posts I found on Yelp and Instagram featured their youth workouts (and not adults). Additionally, recent reviews on ClassPass and MINDBODY were pretty stale. Hopefully this review shakes things up a bit! - Song playlists could be better but not a dealbreaker. Every studio I've gone to, I've discovered new trendy songs that make its way into my Current Favorites playlist and also become a trending song on Spotify-curated playlists... however I don't care for any of the songs that I've heard while working out here so far. Take advantage of the FREE INTRODUCTORY CLASS to experience WOLA for yourself. If you're like me, you'll get addicted to the varied workouts and friendly instructors who are constantly watching your form. Your health will thank you later (but you can thank me now)!

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!

I joined Brick eight months ago and have seen great improvements. I've been part of many CrossFit gyms around the country and Brick is certainly one of the very best. The coaches actually coach, correct, instruct and encourage you. They even pointed out how poor my flexibility was and showed me stretches to do. My form is just as good if not better than it was during my peak CrossFit days. Working on strength and endurance still but having great time doing it. Highly recommend.

    Fantastic boxing gym. Owner/coach Kollins and his team of coaches (I've also trained with Romie,…read moreVic, and Marco) are all friendly, encouraging, tough in the best sense, take the time to teach and emphasize form and the body mechanics behind it, and work at each boxer's individual level. Beginners can step into any class, not just the beginner-specific ones, and receive individual attention and training. The gym is compact yet state of the art and immaculate with a great ring and weight training equipment that's meticulously cared for; and in every class I've attended not only the coach but the other students are friendly and welcoming. The classes are tough as hell, I sweat so much that I'm amazed I have any water left in my body afterward; but I keep coming back so it seems to be somewhat addictive. :) A friend highly recommended this gym when I decided to explore boxing, and my original intent was to shop around and try out several local gyms; Members Only was intended as the first. But I never ended up going anyplace else because I love this place, I found a great boxing home. Can't recommend Members Only highly enough!

It's the first gym that has made me actually look forward to working out instead of dreading it. I've also made some amazing friends here. Every trainer is incredible and brings something different to the table. They meet you where you are, without judgment. I can personally vouch for Kemal, Caleb, and Taylour. Kemal will help you activate muscles you didn't even know you had. Caleb makes every workout feel like a dance party while still pushing you to work hard. And Taylour has a gift for helping you believe in yourself, reminding you that you are world class. My membership also includes a wellness session with Donovan, who is AMAZING. His bodywork is such a valuable bonus. And front desk Luke! I truly couldn't recommend Training Loft more!

From day one, I've felt welcomed by the entire team, and every session has been well worth the investment. A huge shoutout to the coaches I've trained with--Caleb, Taylor, Todd, Vince, and Francis. Each has their own coaching style and strengths, but they're all incredibly knowledgeable and motivating. No matter who I'm scheduled with, I know I'm going to get an efficient, challenging workout. The 30-minute sessions are perfect for my schedule, whether it's before a meeting, at the end of the workday, or to start my morning. The wellness check-ins with Donovan have also been a great addition. It's a thoughtful touch that shows they genuinely care about your holistic health beyond just the workouts. Since joining, I've learned so much--I've improved my form, learned how to properly engage different muscle groups, discovered how to safely push myself closer to failure to maximize results, and picked up new exercises that I now use on my own outside of Training Loft. If you're looking for more than just a workout--if you want to build a strong foundation, learn proper technique, and be part of a supportive, professional, and genuinely kind community--I can't recommend Training Loft enough. It's been one of the best investments I've made in my fitness, and I wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone considering personal training.

It's usually broken and not running from June through October, but this time it broke in February. It did work sporadically for a day or two - like a few days ago - but it's broken again. Bigger issue remains that La Fitness lets women walk in and out of the men's lockeroom. Big problem.
