This is seriously my favorite gyms in the whole wide world! First off, I can't tell you how AMAZING the WORK team is. They know how to motivate you, without you even realizing it. I have never been to a class here where I felt like I wasn't getting a proper work out. The workouts are intense, but the best part is that they help you modify, and they don't make you feel bad for having to do that. I've been to some gyms where I felt like instructors thought I wasn't capable of doing something or that I'm weak, because I have to modify the workout move. I NEVER feel like that here and I love the WORK team for never making me feel like that. Also, at other gyms, over time, the work outs just gets easier and that sore feeling that you get in the morning, those start to go away. Not here! They change up the routine every day, so your body is always guessing and has no idea what it's in for! Every single instructor knows you by name and knows what your individual focus is. They also don't rush you out, like other gyms too. If I ask Dane, Kara, Scott or MaryBeth a question, each of them will spend the time to answer my question and then on top of that, they give me another tid bit that starts a load of other questions from me! They are knowledgable about nutrition, health, fitness and life in general! I have been on a fitness journey for about a year now and I can tell you that WORK will be the reason I reach my ultimate goals. I'm excited to join in on the next nutrition program with them and can't wait for what they have in store for me! read more

By far the best workout experience I've had. The team at WORK really cares about everyone walking through their front door and offer a variety of classes for any experience level. The new online/streaming classes are great if you want to workout at home with minimal equipment needed. I'd recommend them to anyone looking for in-person group fitness classes and those who want to exercise at home. read more

WORK and all their trainers have been my lifeline during the pandemic. Instead of training in my garage alone, I feel like I'm a part of a fitness community albeit virtually. The workouts are always positive, fun, challenging, and leave me feeling motivated and fit. The trainers are welcoming to new members and take the time to recognize and acknowledge long-term members. I am forever grateful for this studio! read more

There are many choices for fitness training but I have continued to choose WORK for the last 4+ years because they have a great program. From my first class to my last class I have been challenged appropriately because the program allows you to work at your fitness level while pushing yourself to grow. The online classes were a great addition during quarantine and I am glad they are here to stay. It is perfect when I have a busy work day just to pop out into the garage for a workout. Online the classes are fun and motivating. The studio culture is welcoming and I love working out with my friends there; I definitely enjoy having the mix of the two. read more

It is hard to call this place just a 'gym', because it is so much more! Let me start by saying I have always been an active and athletic person, but never have tried a 'HIIT' style gym before. I didn't really understand the value as they are typically a bit more expensive, and stuck to the traditional 'lifting' style workouts at LA Fitness. I am three months in and much like every other review on here, I am ABSOLUTELY HOOKED! I started by going only twice per week, then three times, then four times, and now I have signed up for the unlimited package. Each of the instructors makes sure to say hi to every person in the class throughout the workout, and give the perfect combination of support, encouragement, and accountability to you during each workout. I am continually indescribably impressed with each of the instructors abilities to learn everyones name. If it is your first class with an instructor (not even just your first class overall), they will come up to you and introduce themselves as well as ask for your name. They make you feel so comfortable from the very first minute, and it continues every time you step foot into the gym. Prior to WORK, my understanding of a 'HIIT' style class was that they were all full-body cardio workouts, which I now clearly understand is not the case. Each class has works a different group of muscles, and the workouts are so well thought out and planned in order to give you the best possible workout for those muscle groups. I leave every class feeling completely dead, which is EXACTLY what you'd want from a gym. Then there are the people, or as they call them, your co-WORKers (haha). Between the continual high-fives being dished out from others in your class, to the cheers and screams boosting everyone else's energy, this place is completely in a category of it's own. I've never felt so supported and pushed by others around me in my life. The introductory offer for your first class here is way too good to pass up, and I cannot say how highly I recommend trying this out. If you do, I hope we get to meet. Because once you try it, I promise you won't ever want to workout another way. read more

I was terrified to try this place because I don't consider myself very good at working out but my sister had been going for a while and absolutely loved it so I decided to do their trial classes (amazing deal) and I was instantly hooked! The trainers are literally all amazing, full of knowledge, energy, and kindness. They go out of their way to set goals for beginners, intermediate, advanced and add challenges so you can set specific goals for yourself and not feel like you have to keep up with anyone else. They will answer any questions you have and they never make you feel like you're not doing good enough or call you out in any way. They offer a variety of classes and I have been going for almost a year now and never felt like anything has been repetitive. I feel SO good afterwards. Everyone is so friendly, the studio is spotless and you really become part of the "Work family". Don't be intimidated! Try it and you'll see! Great music, perfect trainers, fantastic workout! read more

Sad to see Scott leave this place but overall my experience was great. The gym is very well laid out.

You NEED to get to WORK. Seriously. I was traveling and working a lot and feeling unmotivated about my same old workout routine, so I decided to try something new and I'm so glad I did! WORK is not only a great physical workout, but it's also mentally stimulating. It's a new workout every single day and never boring. I've taken classes from Dane, Scott, and Kara and they are all really positive, high energy trainers. Be prepared to jump, squat, push, pull, lift, throw, slide, hang, bounce, run (maybe even crawl), high-five, and everything else in between. :) Never thought I'd have so much fun at work. read more

Loved this place. I dropped in while I was in town for vacation to get a workout in. Everyone was incredibly friendly, the facility was super clean and spacious, and the workout space was really comfortable. I went during leg day, and it was not a breezy workout, but it was so fulfilling. There was a functional warmup and then two sets of AMRAP leg moves. The trainers were both awesome: encouraging, knowledgeable (helping everyone with form), and with great energy. They made sure to spend a little extra time with all the beginners so that we knew what was happening and how to use the equipment. The equipment was all clean and in good shape. If this place was in DC I would join without hesitation. Overall, a super empowering and fun experience. read more

This area is saturated with work out options and you have to find the one you connect with the most. And for me this is the place!! The work outs are challenging, and you feel so accomplished afterwards. The facility is great- variety of equipment and good locker rooms. Everything is always clean and they have towels. The best part is the trainers and all the staff. Brandon, Cassie, Kara, Dane and Madison. From the front desk till the end of your work out you'll feel motivated. I love them and they create a positive environment that I look forward to returning to every time. Price? Well it's pretty standard for the area. No work out around Irvine cheap so you got to find the one that's worth it. When ever I can I choose to go to WORK read more

Before joining in WORK in 2019, I had zero exercise habit and knew nothing about fitness. After doing the first trial class, I fell in love with it! Ever since then, training with WORK became my daily routine! All the trainers here are friendly and professional, the atmosphere is inspiring, and the class programming never makes we bored! I am also impressed by how they are adaptive during the COVID pandemic. For example, they are offering both in-studio and online classes, and the online classes are as fun as the on-site ones! I love both of them! read more

I LOVE this place! Super fun, dynamic workouts, amazing trainers, and non judgy environment. The gym looks intimidating because of all the awesome equipment, but it really isn't and you get used to it after a couple of classes. Definitely recommend! My hubby and I go every day they are open! read more

Best gym out there! I can't say enough great things about the gym, the people that go there and most importantly the owners/instructors. If you want a gym that will push you to the strongest you can be without making you feel uncomfortable/insecure in the process... this is your new home gym. The instructors AND owners are some of the most caring and nice people I have ever met. They truly care about making sure everyone feels welcome. read more

WORK is the place you go to see how strong you really are and be inspired to how strong you can get. I don't get to go to WORK nearly as much as I wish but I would go every day if I could. What an amazing place this team has built. read more

WORK is the greatest fitness experience I've ever been a part of (and I work in the industry). The small group of instructors are passionate, knowledgeable, and make you feel like family. The workouts are extremely well planned, effective, and SO FUN. Don't be intimidated, you will have zero regrets and become a part of a community that's supportive and energizing in the process. I love WORK! read more

I could not be happier or feel more fortunate to have stumbled upon WORK a few years ago. Their in-person training sessions are the toughest, most creative, and most fun group fitness classes in Orange County, and the trainers and staff are the friendliest, most encouraging, and uplifting individuals I have ever been around. When dealt with the COVID-19 blow to their business, the studio pivoted in perfect way, by offering clients an incredible online training platform via Zoom. I have been taking online classes since June of 2020 and absolutely love the content, the trainers, and the online community I'm now a part of. WORK Training Studio gets my highest recommendation! read more

Once upon a time I was dragged into WORK by a friend and I never left! I absolutely love the atmosphere, positive and uplifting community, beyond challenging workouts, trainers that push you in and out of workouts to become not only better athletes, but better people! read more

This place is amazing! Everyone that works there, and I mean everyone, is extremely nice and genuinely interested in getting to know you! The instructors are extremely knowledgeable and super attentive to each member. It always boggles my mind how they can pay personal attention to each person during the classes, but they do and make sure to correct you or let you know how to modify the exercises. The classes are brutal - in the best way possible. It is such a good feeling of complete accomplishment and bad-ass-ery (is that even a word??) when I finish a workout! If you are ready for a challenge, give Work a chance - you will LOVE it!!! read more

WORK is a hidden gem, one I wish I had found sooner! I was looking for a circuit training gym to supplement my strength workouts at Equinox and stumbled upon WORK through Yelp. All perfect reviews so I figured it was worth a shot, especially since they offered 3 free classes! I was hooked after my first class and immediately signed up. My current gym offers a variety of group fitness classes as well however, their time slots were not convenient, classes were overcrowded, you wont know which muscle groups you'll work on until day of, and lastly, it's kind of gross slipping and sliding in someone else's sweat (wood floors). Now, back to WORK- I love the fact that each day is dedicated to specific muscle groups, allowing you to plan ahead. They also have classes from 5am-6:30pm. Plenty of options! You work out on turf and rubber (no sweaty messes) to great music with the most energetic & charismatic coaches EVER! Facilities are super clean (nothing glamorous but who really cares), they have showers, towels, water stations & extensive gym equipment. Their changing rooms are also stocked with toiletries from hair ties to lotion. Their app also makes it SUPER convenient to book classes. Best of all, staff are incredibly warm and friendly. I've probably been to 6 or more group fitness/circuit/crossfit gyms and I can't remember having a coach call me out by first name to either give a shout out or to push me harder (they see everything, can't slack). This is a norm for WORK. If you don't hear your name at least once or twice during your workout, that would be abnormal. Doesn't get any more personal than that, it really resonated with me. Parking is a little annoying since it's all street but they have a lot down the street so it's not too bad. Lastly, it's much more affordable than Orange theory, Barry's boot camp or any of the hyped up circuit gyms in the area. If you're looking for a gym with an awesome atmosphere and well thought out workouts that will kick your butt (no matter how fit you think you are) then check out WORK. I guarantee you'll love it and get great results too. read more

Hands down the greatest fitness community in the OC! Scott, Dane, Kara, and Marybeth are all incredible trainers who design the most effective workouts I've even done and genuinely care about their clients health and progress! Combine that with an amazing sound system and high energy music and you have a perfect environment to get your fitness on! I would HIGHLY recommend anyone who wishes to get fit and have a fun time doing it to come and check out WORK!!! read more

Work Irvine is the best place to workout/train. The trainers are second to none and are so motivating. I always want to push myself to do things I didn't know I could do because of them and their support. The facility is amazing, by far the best I've seen. I cannot say enough about this amazing establishment and the awesome staff who I'm excited to see every time I'm there. You must give it a try! read more

Work Training Studio - Gyms Near Me - Irvine, California

Love this gym. Ive been going here for over a year. The in studio classes are great! They are intense but also programmed so that its sustainable. When the pandemic hit and because of my schedule as a student its harder for me to come to the studio, so ivr been taking WORK online. Work Online is the best remote workout class out there. While i prefer in studio classes, the online classes still provide great programming, intensity and fun all from the convenience of your home. I ca read more

I've been going to WORK roughly about a year and a half, more so recently. WORK is so much more than just a place to workout. It's a place of community and high fives are welcome and encouraged between stations. All of the trainers here care about their clients and truly aspire to motivate. When I started working out here I was pretty weak, and my form was pretty bad. I'm still not perfect, but with the help of the trainers I've noticed a huge shift in my ability. If you are looking for a good place to join, WORK is definitely it. P.S. the workouts are super fun(and totally challenging) if you go once, you'll never stop coming here (: read more

This place is amazing. I came for my first class and they were so friendly and welcoming. The facilities are clean and spacious. They have so much equipment but don't be scared, they'll talk you through it and demonstrate how to do everything. I took the Pulse class and Jesus Christ. It was so hard but a ton of fun. Dane made sure to know my name and gave me a ton of encouragement even when I felt like dying. I'm really excited to go back! read more

Such a great place. Great workouts and great coaches. They switch things up each day of the week and work different areas of the body which is awesome. The coaches seem truly invested in your progress and are willing to chat about things you can do both in class and out of class to help you reach your goals. Try it out!!!!!! read more

The most amazing trainers with amazing people. The workouts are so challenging but not impossible. They are here to push you and make you better and a better person. If you want to find an amazing environment with positive people even if that's what you are here for and not just to workout this is the place. You will make friends, genuine people that you admire because they work so hard and you know that is how they are outside the gym. And like me if you can't make it during the week Saturday workouts are the best combination of movements during the week. So if you miss a day during the week you can make it up. But if you can come here every day for 3 months you will not recognize the person you have become from the person that first came in. And perhaps you will recognize in that new person the person you have always wanted to be. read more

I'm not sure you could find a better gym in California. I've been going here for 2 years and I go 6 days a week. This gym has pushed me and I have grown so much stronger. The trainers all get to know you personally and push you past where you THINK you are and help you realize you're stronger than you think. I've met my best friends here and I would never dream of leaving! It's a family and a lifestyle. It's not just a training studio. read more

I am 65 years old and my family recommended me to go to the gym in order to do easy workouts to maintain a healthy lifestyle and decided to listen to their recommendation, I chose the Fitness Room Work and I am very pleased about it, the quality of my life improved and I feel I can do more Get tired as fast as I was before I started practicing, thank you very much for the professional team that helps me practice. read more

The energy in this place is out of this world! The trainers are really in tune to the different ability levels and are always keeping the workouts fresh and fun. The music is energizing and I can guarantee the advanced will be challenged and the beginner will be motivated. You will finish the class drenched in sweat and feeling accomplished. I must warn you though, it's addictive. read more

If u are looking for a great work out gym to get the BEST workout, Work it is! The classes change from day to day, and from week to week, the coaching staff is by far extraordinary. They push u to your limits. This has been the best gym I belong too by far! read more

I travel all over the country and have visited dozens of gyms who have tried to accomplish what Dane and Kara have built at WORK. The trainers are excellent and know every single person's name. The workouts are HARD, the music is fantastic and the instructors are top notch. Well done crew... moving to NYC and you have set the bar high for finding a suitable replacement in the big apple. read more

This gym is hands down the best one I've ever been too. Their classes cater to all ages and athletic abilities. Each day is something new or different. And furthermore, their instructors actually care about your form and technique!! Look no further, this IS your gym!! read more

WORK is absolutely the best place I've ever worked out at. Dane and Kara are the most kind and sincere people. They care deeply about their clients as well as their staff. The facility is clean and well equipped. They make the workouts fun, enjoyable and you are eager for the next day. I couldn't recommend them and WORK more. Give it a shot- you will not be disappointed. Be forewarned- you might become addicted.... but it's a good addiction and you'll make some new friends along the way. read more

Intense, friendly, and motivating. I came here for the first time on a weekday on ClassPass. I took the class on a Wednesday which equated to a lot of cardio work, but really I feel sore all over now. The instructor was extremely welcoming and attentive. He clearly knew all of the students' names and called them out intentionally to motivate and inspire. The workout began with a four-station workout which then transitioned into a five-station partner circuit-like station training. We partnered up and would switch between two exercises with our partner for a total of 5-6 minutes for each station. I tired out every muscle in my body it felt like and also got some great cardio in. Although at first it was a bit intimidating because it seemed like all of the students were super fit, there wasn't an ounce of competition or judgement. They were all extremely nice and encouraging--a rare quality of the community. I got several high-fives and also many of the other students (some I think were instructors that were also taking the class) would come up and correct my form or answer questions. The music was motivating and at times, the entire class would break out into song. The friendliness almost seemed slightly cult-like but I guess that's the type of encouraging atmosphere that they like to keep. The studio is immaculate, there are towels and clean showers available, and there was a bowl of clementines (yum!) in the lounge area after the work out. I also really liked the studio's floor. I know that sounds weird, but I find at some other studios, I do a lot of jumping and even with sneakers, it still hurts. Their floor was made of some interesting material though that definitely softened the bounce--very much appreciated on my ever-aging joints. If I lived in the area, I would definitely come back! read more

Undoubtedly THE BEST group training / trainers around! This place is top notch - and the trainers and their workouts are always on point. The music isnt too shaby either!! :) If you're looking to get REAL RESULTS I highly recommend you stop here and look no further. This is a full service community WORK center. Not only will you get proper training but also proper nutritional coaching. You WILL see REAL RESULTS and have fun at the same time. I've now had the pleasure to train with these dynamic Trainers for almost 3years, they are the foundation of my fitness journey and an inspiration to myself and others! read more

Oh man, where do I begin? I started coming to WORK towards the end of June and just finished up my 30 class pack. My only regret? I wish I would have went with the unlimited monthly membership. That's how addicting their classes are! For all you newcomers don't make the same mistake I did! The owners, Dane and Kara are absolutely amazing! I've taken theirs and Madi's classes and they all have exceeded expectations. If you're looking to change up your fitness routine, try them out! I'm pretty sure they still offer a free 3-day pass. read more

This is the best place to fitness in town. I've tried everywhere. Great instructors, smart workouts, great music, beautiful facilities, and the people who go here have rockin' bodies. What else could you ask for? read more

Over a year ago I started my major fitness "over haul" and I had the pleasure of meeting Kara at another studio. Kara just "spoke to me" - she made the workouts CLICK in my head. I became super motivated and ready to really WORK! From there, I began to work out with Scott & Marybeth - who funny enough, would all join forces to create something great - something called WORK. Is it easy? No. Is it worth it? YES! You hear that cliche BS all the time "hard work and eat right" but honestly - I have had to work my ARSE off to lose 80lbs and thank god I had them to help motivate me along the way along with another amazing boxing coach. I wish there was a quick fix but honestly - I feel more confident knowing I did it on my own. Work isn't about "socializing" and "drama" like a lot of other group fitness facilities in the area. Work is what its called: W O R K!!!!! From my days of being an athlete, I have never experienced workouts as hard as I have since their first day. They give modifications but they'll also push you...you know like me trying to cheat and getting called out! HEY I DESERVED IT! Do yourself a favor and join the WORKforce. All levels are good to go - as someone who has started from the bottom and is about half way to a beast, you'll conquer and succeed. I also just find a lot of motivation with others I workout with. I really crave the workouts and the push I receive at the facility. They offer nutritional help, AMAZING instructors who also own the joint (and actually KNOW what they're talking about/are certified), the coolest/hip & clean studio...and really cool merch to buy (sorry, I'm a shopaholic & love to rep places I support!) ;) read more

I wish I can give this place 10 stars. I cannot stop raving about this place. There are MANY gyms in OC, but this one takes the cake. Pros (in no particular order): 1- Trainers actually care about you. They make a conscious effort to get to know your name and about you, in general. You could tell the owners are such genuine people. 2- Facility is top notch. I mean, TOP notch. New/ clean equipment. Fun equipment: sleds, ropes, bikes, etc. 3- Workouts. Every day focuses on a different body part, so you can come everyday and guaranteed an awesome workout. They are some of the toughest workouts I have ever done, and I have done plenty. But don't be fooled, the trainers are great at explaining and coaching you through everything. 4- The people. Wow. Can you talk about community?! This place is filled with encouraging, friendly, uplifting, and all around positive people. I think that is what the driving force of a successful gym is. The people. Be prepared to sing, dance, give high 5's, all while getting your but kicked. 5- Music. Every class I have taken, the music has been SO. GOOD. 6- And everything else. Towel service. Front desk staff. Lounge area. Trust me. You have to come see for yourself and see why this is the #1 gym in OC. Cons: None. Literally, none. There is street parking, but a huge parking lot down the street (hey, extra steps= extra calories) So if it's your first time, try to get there a little early. The trainers are so knowledgeable in fitness, nutrition, and everything about the human body. Seriously, come try out a class and see why I am so obsessed!!! Thank you Work!!!! read more

Best gym in OC! (And there's a LOT of gyms around) There's a reason this gym is successful. The minute you step inside the front door, you'll notice the positive energy. Trainers/owners are friendly, knowledgable, passionate, and have developed amazing workouts! If you want significant results, this is a place where you'll be able to achieve that. Never boring. ALWAYS challenging. I always feel so inspired at Work and motivated to achieve my goals and be my best. Thank you!!!! read more
