WORK is awesome. Really good HIIT training classes that always mix it up. You come out of there feeling really good with a body high and for me it just gives me energy and mental clarity throughout the day. Really awesome gym with really nice people and great trainers. read more

Can not say enough good things about WORK. Between the amazingly effective workouts, the beautifully maintained facility, to the friendly staff. I am a trainer myself so happy I found this place because it is so great to know that each and every week that I walk in and trust that I am going to get a well rounded workout. I appreciate so much the amount of effort they put into mixing up the workouts and keeping it fresh so you never get board or plateau. read more

I started attending Work with my boyfriend and from day 1 everyone has been extremely welcoming and encouraging. The instructors are very attentive and motivate you to challenge yourself. Highly recommended read more

I've been working out at this studio for several weeks now. This place has great energy! The entire staff is welcoming, the facility is clean and the workouts are challenging and fun and I always look forward to my next WORKout! I also like that WORK offers more classes than other places I've tried. This place has morning, afternoon and evening classes. So glad I found this place. Highly recommend! read more

I am coming up on my one year WORK anniversary in January and when I look back on my year with the trainers a few things come to mind: - I've worked out on average 5 days a week at this place - I've made close to 50 friends - I've been challenged from a weight, endurance and speed perspective in ways I could have not done alone - Every workout, every station, every drip of sweat has been worth every dollar spent I sincerely love this community of WORKers. I get hardcore FOMO when I have to miss a class for any reason and I look forward to waking up at 4:30 am so I can workout with my favorite trainers and friends. Thank you WORK for creating such an amazing community and for helping me reach my fitness goals! read more

Came here for the first time and it was amazing! Everyone was friendly and motiving. The instructors were great as well. encouraged you to do your best and also ensure you are doing the workout correctly. This place will whip you into shape! read more

This place is my home. I started working out here two years ago , I have classpass and I check other Gyms and studios as well. This is by far my favorite place to workout. First of all I like the interior design, absolutely different. Dane and Kara are the owners , and are very motivating,welcoming and friendly. Instructors are amazingly energetic and last but not least the workout design/programs is fantastic. You want to get result?! start going to WORK today. read more

I started coming to WORK back in November and my life was forever changed. I was looking for a new gym that would challenge me but would also become family; that is WORK. On my first class I walked in and it was so welcoming and comforting to see Jo teaching as she was a trainer at OTF. She has continued to push me and make me strong each and every class (hopefully she's back Monday mornings soon!). Anthony, Madi, and Dane are absolutely amazing and challenge me in ways I needed in my life. WORK has a special place in my heart and has captured me for a life time! Shoutout to Cassie and Tyler who hold down the place and are a bright smile each morning when you walk in or when you're dying in the middle of class and they have a camera in your face to post on social . read more

I love work! I originally started going because Its close to my home and I'm so glad I did! Every class I've taken the instructors do the best at explaining the workout, going around encouraging and demonstrating how to do each movement.. the environment is fun and everyone seems to have a team-like mentality read more

Never a dull workout at WORK. They definitely make you work it! Every day, every session is different and you never know what to expect. The facility is very chic and clean. The energy in the room (from all the clients, high-energy trainers, live so, etc...) make the workouts even more fun and intense! read more

I love the WORK Training Studio. I've been taking their online classes for about 6 months now and I have made noticeable improvement in my stamina and muscle definition. I didn't think, with the pandemic, I would be able to find a workout class that challenged me, as a former collegiate athlete that was something that was very important to me, and WORK definitely does that. Not only have their classes challenged me and continued to help me maintain and improve my fitness level but the sense of community it has given me via the live classes, especially during this pandemic has been invaluable. I cannot recommend WORK enough! read more

Work is insanely addicting. Kara, Marybeth, Dane, and Madison are not only passionate coaches, they're welcoming and energetic. They get to know you by name to provide plenty of encouragement and each class is filled with endless heart and soul. There are no egos and positive sportsmanship is highly encouraged for members of all ages and athletic capability. Like Crossfit, the workouts change daily but specialize in movements that target specific muscle groups. For example, Mondays work the legs, Tuesdays focus on pushing movements, Wednesdays are for cardio, Thursdays stress pulling movements, Fridays are directed at full body conditioning, and Saturdays contain a little bit of everything. In my opinion, each workout reminds me of an AMRAP (as many rounds as possible) or EMOM (every minute, on the minute) on steroids. I like that every movement is modifiable based on each person's athletic ability and the option to increase or decrease difficulty is always demonstrated. The studio itself is spotless. There are clean showers, bathrooms, lockers, bath towels, water dispensers, and pretty much any basic gym essential. The modern studio is decorated in wood, steel, and concrete so it is visually appealing and attractive. My one minor issue is the price for unlimited classes. It is a whopping $225 per month (with autopay and a minimum of a 3 month commitment) compared to the $150 per month I've paid for the last three years at Crossfit gyms which included the option of Olympic Weightlifting, Yoga, and Open Gym. I know it's like comparing apples to oranges but is this a deal breaker? No, but if I want to return to a 4-5x a week gym regiment, Work may not be the most financially savvy long-term investment. Membership is available by class packages or monthly payments but the first three classes are free so anyone can give them a shot without any obligation! read more

Amazing programming with intentional lower body and upper body days. Amazing instructors!!

always an awesome workout! found this place on class pass a couple years ago and have continued to pop in. just signed up for a full membership to go more. If you're looking for awesome group training, friendly & helpful coaches, and a great environment - this is your spot! read more

1) It's a modern setting with innovative workout sessions. There's really no way to describe their style as a "style" because you can't label them into a specific category. They're not just HIIT. They're not cross-fit. They're not boot camp. They're not just strength and endurance training. They've disrupted the fitness industry with their creativity and originality in the best way possible. 2) The hearts that the owners (Dane, Kara, and Mary Beth) and Madison have and the friendliness of the staff (Cassie and Brandon) are oceans deep. The efforts that the team go through to get to know their clientele by name and their individual goals and stories do not go unnoticed by me. They don't do it just for the sake of cultivating their business. They do it because they care. I see them more as a people-business before a fitness business. Behind their craft lies years of experience where they've really honed in their knowledge and craft to put together the best workout sessions as possible. Dane, Mary-Beth, Kara, and Madison are world-class in my opinion. 3) They're not so focused on coming off as salespersons. They're more about making sure that it's the right environment for you and letting the sessions speak for themselves. It's intimidating for anyone new to try out a fitness center where they feel surrounded by people who have dedicated themselves into health and fitness. But as soon as they walk in through that door, I believe that most new clients are surprised that Work is a place where people of all levels can feel safe through a combination of positive reinforcement, an encouragement of camaraderie, and a culture where we celebrate each others' progress and acknowledge each others' efforts. 4) Switching to Work has been the best decision that I've made for my own personal health and fitness goals. The quality and integrity are all there. Give them a chance and give yourself a chance to try it out. read more

I LOVE this place! First off, they have EXCELLENT costumer service, super friendly staff so great first impression right off the bat. We came in, they greeted us and even knew our names. Since we were new, they had one of their regular members guide us during the work out. Scott (the instructor) was very personable and he got everyone pumped up during the session -- cheering on people throughout the work out (and by name). A little extra: I'm all about the decor. I love the whole rustic look. Tip: three free classes if you sign up online! read more

This is a great gym. They make it easy to get and stay motivated. The classes are always different and push you to get out of your comfort zone and make changes. I'd highly recommend taking classes here if you haven't yet. read more

Start with the intensity of Crossfit, but remove the risk of serious injury. Add the loud, high energy club vibe of Barry's Bootcamp, but without the darkness. Sprinkle in some additional positive vibes, and you've got Work! This hidden gem of a gym delivers a sufficient amount of ass kicking for your weekly regimen. High-fives are literally mandatory, and anyone who follows me on Instagram knows that those are my favorite! Camaraderie is high, judgement is non-existent. The facility is large, clean, modern and very aesthetically pleasing. Fear not, boredom will NOT be an issue, as the workouts change daily. Every station has modifications allowing anyone in half way decent shape to participate. But even the fittest will more than feel it at the end of each session! A monthly payment option is available, but buying classes in bulk is definitely the way to go. The more you buy, the better the price. And for what you get, the pricing is well worth it! Your first 3 sessions are free with no obligation or pressure to join, so there's really no reason to not give it a try! read more

This is literally the best studio I've ever been. Thumbs up to Nikki. Her crew is the best. I took a class here through ClassPass when I'm back home to Irvine from nyc. Having been to many strength classes in nyc, Id say my expectation is really high, and this studio totally surpassed my expectation. The studio is bright, spacious and well-equipped with everything. Every staff in the studio is so nice. The most important part, the class is challenging and hard.- so you are guaranteed that your money's worth. Like many strength classes, the whole class is divided to three group and each group rotate among the exercises/ stations. Each group has a staff( or someone who has been coming for a long time?) to lead the group. The instructor walk around the class to make sure everyone is fine. Will def come back again! read more

I have belonged to many different gyms and training facilities, but have never found a place like WORK! The facility is clean, organized and super inviting. The equipment is the highest quality and always up to date. The trainers are absolutely the best I've ever worked with- Motivating, knowledgeable, kind and they make everyone feel welcome and inspired. Now the workouts... these workouts are FUN! But don't get me wrong they will WORK you harder than you could have ever imagined. The front desk staff, the other members and the entire community are the icing on the cake that make this place truly special! read more

Best place you'll ever workout. Most amazing staff and the workout will definitely help you reach your fitness goals. Now they just need to open one in LA! read more

Literally it's like crack. Super addicting. First timers you get three free sessions to try. After that you will be hooked! You wake up excited for these classes because they make you feel so good about yourself and so accomplished. The 50 minutes goes so fast. Yes you are sweaty and yes you are gasping for air and yes all you want to do is lay down but everyone here will push you along. I have a few things I like to keep private and personal such as my pooping schedule or.... I didn't mean to expose myself.... but working out and running I like to do it with just me because I'm able to get away. I didn't think I would like a group class but when you are here... you are here to WORK so you don't have time to think about anything but your workout. I felt at ease and in my element while I'm here. Oh and they have the best water. Yes. Water matters. So get up! Come join! read more

Literally CANNOT EVEN with this gym! I was so skeptical of venturing into bootcamp territory but I'm glad I did right after I completed my first work out at Work. Some of the things that really stand out to me about this place is how knowledgeable Dane and Kara (they're also my favorite instructors) are when it comes to fitness, the thought they put behind planning daily workouts, is a testament to this. They're clearly passionate about what they do, because they've built a wonderful community of people who love to work out and push each other to give it their all. The gym space itself is great, ample parking, loaded with amenities, showers, food, the works (geddit?), ya know? What else can I say, I'm clearly a fan and I cannot recommend this place enough (even though some of the things you make me do has my body SCREAMING in agony) I must be a masochist since I keep coming back (JK!) I love you guys! Thanks for doing this! read more

Dane and Kara have built an amazing platform. You can't define Work as a single workout category, and that's their advantage. It's a fitness style that's safe for all levels of athleticism as well as personalities. All of the trainers will take their time to get to know your name, encourage others to help each other feel safe and welcome with high-fives, etc. There's a strong sense of community in this place as the owners go above and beyond to build that for their clients (ask the clients about their epic 2017 holiday party that Dane and Kara put together for us. What other gym does that?). Having checked out many studios in the OC area, it's hands-down the best, innovative, and most well-rounded fitness center, both quality of the workouts as well as the quality of the trainers/community that make it worthwhile. Dane, Kara, Madi, and Nikki are all great! You'll always be greeted in a friendly manner by Brandon and Cassie when you step inside. Check them out! read more

I did not think I would enjoy group workouts as much as I do at WORK. The staff is incredibly thoughtful and attentive. The attendees are welcoming, and positive. Oh, and the workouts are amazing. Definitely recommend. read more

Finished my first class today at 12 and it was awesome! Loved MaryBeth the instructor, Brandon was very nice, everybody was super positive and full of high fives. I thoroughly enjoyed the workout, and being corrected on my form if needed. I think I have finally found a gym where I will continue to enjoy. Already booked my next class :) Everything is SUPER clean as well. Such a great place! Great music for getting everybody pumped as well! read more

My husband and I found this studio through ClassPass a few weeks ago and have enjoyed it so much that we have already been back for 10 classes! Everyone is welcoming and encouraging, from Alyssa who assists with sign ins and scheduling to all of the amazing instructors. We have made this studio our regular workout studio and have loved every single class we have taken. Definitely recommend! read more

Great place to workout, come early on weekends limited parking on busy days. But totally worth it. The workouts are intense and push your body and mind. All the trainers are fun, energetic and its a great culture of supportive people read more

Used to think classes were a waste of money and stuck to big corporate gyms; however, this gym has proven me wrong. LOVE that each month is a different focus and it rotates throughout the year. The set days of which muscle group is focused on helps me know I'm hitting all the muscle groups because who wants a disproportionate look?? The trainers look out for your safety and form. Ultimately, this gym has brought together an amazing community. read more

First came to WORK through Classpass a couple years ago and have been a regular since for good reason. The coaches all are dedicated and take the time to help you with your form and have your best interests in mind during the workout. They always push you to dig deeper and find that place that really challenges you without risking injury. The community is awesome - regulars, new visitors, everyone brings a similar energy. I'll keep coming back and highly, highly recommend for anyone looking for a consistent, fun, great fitness community! read more

Great workout; great coaching; friendly, upbeat vibe. I'm very fat and I have never felt even a little bit judged- they're able modify things when I need. Folks actually said hi(!!) and seemed genuinely to care that I had a good experience. All in all, I really enjoy the experience. read more

Definitely one of my FAVORITE spots to WORK out at in orange county!!! I stumbled upon them in the Classpass index and I can't imagine not working out there. Work is located inside a business center between Diamond Jamboree and the District. When you walk in, the facility has a cool urban feel and everyone is REALLY friendly. The facilities are really clean and complete with showers, lockers and various toiletries to get you looking fresh (hair dryers, hair products, hair ties, etc.). The actual workout space is HUGE and you'll find everything from treadmills to weights to sleds to bungees! At Work, every day is a different workout and no week's exercises are the same. Since this is a group workout, the trainers really utilize circuit and tabata training. It really gets your heart rate up and gives you such a good burn!!! Here's the rundown of the week with them: Mondays are Rooted: LEGS LIKE WHOA. Tuesdays are Force: UPPER BODY SWOLL Wednesday are Pulse: Cardio CRAZINESS Thursdays are Reach: BACK LIKE YEAAHHHHHH (think back muscles and biceps) Fridays are Impact: Athletic conditioning Saturdays are Overtime: A review of the week's exercises and really social (as in you'll meet a lot of people) My three favorites are Rooted, Force & PULSE. I always feel so strong and motivated when I leave. What I love about Work is that the limit their class sizes, so you don't feel like you're being herded around like cattle from exercise to exercise. They really take the time to pay attention to your form and give you some extra motivated on those last few reps! The trainers, Scott & Dane, are INCREDIBLE. I mean I just LOVE them. They are so FRIENDLY and genuinely care about getting you in shape. What I also love about them is that they pick SUCH GOOD MUSIC to work out to. Pros: -AMAZING TRAINERS -FRIENDLY STAFF -GREAT WORKOUTS -AWESOME FACILITIES/AMENITIES -TOWELS! Cons: -Parking is rough (street only) Tips: -They are located on the right side of the green building -Street parking only -Bring a water bottle, they have filtered water in the gym -First class free read more

Luckily, my lateral move at my day job is now in Tustin so when I found out WORK was going to be less than 2 miles away, I thought perfect, I could go right after work. Which meant I had to buy one of their opening week promos because who doesn't like a deal but really it was because I like the owners and I wanted to support. I've meet the Miklaus' at Full Psycle and love their energy so had to see them shine in their arena...of torture. ;) I had been delaying in taking my first class since I had saw some of my friends were sore the next day (in a good way) and needed to figure out a balance between this and my Full Psycle classes. Finally, committed and brought my workout attire with me to work today, so that is was WORK after work and that was this Friday night. Took the 5:30pm Impact class with Kara, which some of you may know her from FP or her former days at Barry's Bootcamp. I never had an opportunity to take her at Barry's but my friends loved her there. And if you see this tiny gal, this gal is ripped, I had arrived early and she was demoing moves for the class before and I'm like holy cow, I'm going to die. Of course, I had to choose a day where it was 90+ degrees, so it was a bit hot in there, I heard they are thinking about installing AC in the future but luckily, they had their door open and plus I spin with an evil instructor *cough cough Paul Harmeling* that purposely turns OFF the AC at times so the temperature at WORK wasn't that bad. I parallel parked on the Hale Ave. since there were spaces available, since they don't currently own the parking spaces, where they are located at, you'll have to park at 16662 Hale Ave. instead (this is explained on their website). Some may say, this inconvenient, but hey, you're here to workout anyways, if a 2-minute walk is too much for you, you might be at the wrong place (that's right I'm talking to you folks that fight for parking spots so you don't have to walk far to the gym and use the elevator, when you are in no way disabled.) By accident, I went to the other fitness studio, go to the door on the right hand side, that's WORK door. They recommend signing up online to reserve your spot because you risk the chance of not getting in, if the class is full. BTW your first class is free. You sign off your name or add your name if there's room and sign a waiver for first timers. They sell WORK apparel and water but just bring your reusable bottle and fill up there. They have complimentary towels for your usage They also have a childcare room if you have little ones. And sometimes, you'll see their mascot Chance (their cute doggie that loves to snuggle) roaming around. They have a nice lounge area, which has cubbies for your personal items but if you don't feel comfortable leaving your stuff out, they do have lockers in the restrooms but you'll need to bring your own locks. The restrooms are nice, there's two showers with amenities so you can get ready before work or get ready to party afterwards. For Impact, the class was split into two groups, by chance I was placed with folks I knew from FP, which included on one of the founders KP and WORK co-founder Dane. Our group for about 45 secs were on glides doing push-ups or pikes. And then we switched off with the other group on the treadmill, each time we switched the incline was increased, 3-6-9-12. I tried to turn down my speed and of course lucky me, I was next to Dane so he turned it back on, which I find out I could easily handle (sorry was traumatized from Barry's). Next our group did squat presses, for now I'll do 7.5lbs weight and kick it up when I get a hang of it and the other group did mountain climbers with the bungee cord and we switched off. Afterwards our group worked on throwing medicine balls on the ball while the other group did lunges with weights and we switched off. The hardcore did burpees with their medicine balls, I'm not quite there yet. And lastly our group did squats with weights, while the other either did box jumps or side steps. Since we were the last class of the day, we got some overtime. Completely doable workout and I was a sweaty mess. It always a good sign they have a good thing when you see other folks part of the fitness community there. And don't worry you can be of any age and size. Let's see how the good hurt feels tomorrow. Will be back for more because I expect the crazy attire from Dane I saw when he was at Full Psycle. And it's not too far from the Diamond Jamboree so I can reload on all the calories I just burned off. This could be dangerous or should I say DANEgerous? ;) read more
