WorkoutLA is a total knockout. Gyms never really resonated with me, just always fell off and lost motivation. Coach Scottie is such an amazing instructor, with a never failing positive attitude and a remarkable ability to somehow make every camp different, and I kid you not - he makes working out fun. Sometimes we run, sometimes we do different exercise circuits based on drawing playing cards, sometimes it's... you never know!!! It's always something special, which speaks to the massive amount of creativity and time Scottie spends to make this workout camp a value. If you want to add boxing to the mix, you got it 2 days every week. He also sets up weekend hikes, and limited time workout or dietary fasting challenges for folks to take an even more intense focus on their health. Literally couldn't give enough credit to Coach Scottie and WorkoutLA. read more

Coach Scott is by far the BEST workout instructor I've EVER had. I've held memberships in all the gyms, have did the whole personal trainer thing, I've done cross fit and all that was good. Scott is GREAT! His classes are full of fun tasks that make working out less annoying! Every time I think, ok I'm NOT showing up to class tonight because ( insert the billion excuses we all have on deck ready at any moment so we Don't have to do a thing) I think, oh dang. He has zoom class from the comfort of my boring house Monday - Friday at 7pm! How can I make an excuse to simply walk a few steps and get on my mat?!? Lol he finds cool little games to play to keep it fun and interesting and I BUST A SWEAT, like a HARD RUNNING FROM THE POLICE SWEAT every single time. I now shower at night lol. His boot camps are really proving to be very useful- says my non flabby stomach. Thanks Coach Scott! read more

WorkoutLA - 7 pm ZOOM class! Awesome workout - Boot Camps Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Coach Scottie is the best! I really struggle with exercising regularly and managing my weight. His HIT workouts are different every time, and very challenging. His Bootcamp helps me to stay focused and prioritize my health. He sends out nutrition tips and does challenges to get us going. Coach Scottie offers plenty of modifications for my bad knee but also pushes me to do my best. For the first time in 20 years, I have regained strength in my bad knee and started running 5ks. I also learned to box with Coach Scottie, which has been become my favorite hobby. He is super knowledgeable about anatomy and how the body works - look forward to learning from him each week. If you are looking for an amazing, supportive, and fun community to get and stay healthy with - it's WorkoutLA. The people are awesome and the workouts are amazing. read more

WorkoutLA - Coach Scottie helping me with my jab. - Boot Camps Near Me - Los Angeles, California

I've never been able to commit to a boot camp before but WorkoutLA is just something else. I'm hooked. The awesomeness & talent of Coach Scott, the amazing community he's created, the variety in his workouts, the games he makes around the reps, the individual attention he gives all his members - I couldn't recommend a workout/boot camp more. Or a coach. read more

Highly recommend WorkoutLA!!! I joined the bootcamp a year a half ago and this has become an important part of my life. I feel so much stronger, energetic and healthy. Coach Scott is very dedicated and enthusiastic. He always makes sure that everyone gets the most of each workout. If you can't do a particular exercise he will give you a modified version of that exercise. I can't say enough great things about this bootcamp! If you are looking for a great bootcamp with an excellent coach and a very friendly group of people, join us ‍ read more

I have been consistently coming to this bootcamp for 5 years now. I have left two other reviews and nothing has changed. My experience here is still the most motivating and amazing thing that has happened in regards to my health!! I specifically attend the 5:30am studio city class, but have crashed some of the other classes when I wasn't able to make the morning class. Coach Scott has the best attitude and has the most amazing outlook on the "best version of yourself!" This motivation is difficult to find in any workout environment, which is what makes this bootcamp so different from the others. My fellow boot-campers who attend have been around for years as well, and we push and motivate each other everyday. We have become a little family! Every new person is welcomed with enthusiasm, as we build our little family every year!! If you are looking for a bootcamp that delivers results and provides the motivation needed to be consistent, then I hope to see you soon at WorkoutLA!!! read more

I purchased the 3 - month groupon deal and I am 1 class away from completing my 1st 4-week session. Morning classes are held MWF and evening classes MWTh. After the first class, I was definitely sore but Arek pushed me to not skip the 2nd class and that is actually the best decision I made. Despite my wobbly gait and inability to drop my bum even an inch for a squat... the 2nd class put me into the momentum to attend every class. Every class is a little different with the workout and Arek gives alternative exercises for previous injuries that may prevent/further damage. Also, he has a nutrition program where you log everything you eat and he will guide you to reach the goals that you want to achieve. Everyone that attends the class is super motivating; it becomes a support system. All you need to bring is water, a yoga mat, and yourself. All other equipment is provided. I am excited to start my 2nd session!! read more

Arek use to do Los Angeles Boot Camp Adventures (check out their old reviews). Now it's WorkoutLA. Let me tell you this I hate working out! Thanks to Arek i look forward to every MW&F! This is my 3rd camp so far & there's no going back. My first camp I lost 5 pounds. Little by little your endurance and balance gets better. Also if you are scared of being yelled at don't worry, Arek is far from that. He is so funny, motivating and encouraging. There is also Kim who does the Wednesday class and she's always fun. I love knowing I'm working out my buns! Kim is so sweet and when you see her do her moves you will feel inspired. There's no need to pay the gym ladies! This is the place! Thank you Arek & Kim for making working-out so much fun!!! PS: be prepared to be sore! read more

I found Workout LA by googling "outdoor workouts" when the Stay At Home orders were enforced. I bought a Groupon and thought I would give it a shot. I've never thought I was the Bootcamp type but I was wrong. Scott is so motivating and fun! It's never the same workouts and everyone is so friendly. I highly recommend it.... I'll never go back to the gym, Workout LA is the spot!! read more

So I have to admit that it took me way too long to actually start this bootcamp, in part because I was somewhat traumatized by a past group exercise situation which was led by an ex-navy seal... There were a lot of tears involved back then. Now that I finally started (I'm 2 weeks in) I do wish I started sooner because maybe I wouldn't have gained 20 pounds last year if I had :) There is an in-person (at the park) option and a Zoom option, the workouts are challenging, the people are nice and fun, and Scott is very encouraging without being scary. I haven't cried yet!! #5stars read more

Scott is a great coach, he cares, he's kind & works with you.I enjoy working out with him. When I finish my class I feel accomplished and energized. Would definitely tell you to give him a shot! read more

I am forever grateful for finding #WorkoutLA and it's amazing culture. I joined to get into shape for my wedding but received so much more in return. Learned about my body, how to lose the weight, maintain my success, what to eat, what not to eat and best exercises to burn more fat. Couldn't have found a better trainer, thanks Scott! read more

WorkoutLA is for anyone no matter where your fitness level is at. Coach Scottie always meets you where you are at and always pushes you to be your best using fun and encouraging methods. Each week of workouts offers a diversity of exercises and activities, which makes it quite fun. You can always except something new at each workout, so you its hard to get bored with this workout community. All in all I would recommend this group to anyone looking to improve and/or enhance their fitness and health journey. read more

I live in Joshua Tree, and WorkoutLA is my satellite personal training team. I don't have time to always make it to the boot camp. But the head honcho Scotty, keeps me on the group regiment, even though I'm a few hours away! read more

So, this is my second review. I originally signed up through a Groupon deal and wondered whether or not I would continue once the 3 months ended. I'm happy to say that I've signed up for my forth CAMP!! I spent the last month focusing more on my diet; I think I thought that if I got up at 5:00 a.m. and worked hard three mornings a week I would loose the weight without much adjustment to my diet. NOT!! Arek gave me pointers on what to do to adjust my diet, and it made a big difference. I'm down 8 pounds, my clothes are fitting better and I feel like I'm making life style changes. What I really love about Workout LA is that everyone is supportive and encouraging. I would guess that I've got at least 15 even 20 years on most of the other people in my group, and I certainly have much more weight to loose than they do, but there is no judgement! It's a warm, almost teamlike enviroment that Arek and Kim create -- each workout is different which helps me since I tend to get bored easily! I'm looking forward to my 4th camp! I feel a difference -- Thank you Workout LA -- for helping me to stay focused on me! read more

I'm going on my 4th month with Workout LA, used to be called LA Adventure Bootcamp. Which originally I had signed up with Groupon and been coming back ever since. I was going to the 7pm class when I first started, and one day couple months ago, I decided I give the 5:30 am a shot... Well, I never switched back... Love it! I wake up extra early, but its totally worth having my evenings free. The only thing thats keeps us away from camp is getting sick :-/ Plus having Arek as a trainer is a big plus! He's friendly, funny and if you ever have a nutrional question via email/person he's always there with a quick knowledgeable eleborate answer :) My only request/wish would be if they had a Saturday morning make-up class. Or added a Saturday class on the 4th last week of camp :) read more

I can't express enough how happy I am with Scottie! Not only is he a great trainer (very knowledgeable) but he knows what every person is his classes needs. Motivation. He cares about every one of us and he always cheers us on and pushes even when we think we can't keep going. Its more than a class, its a group of friends. Join this group of you want to be challenged, and have fun while working out. read more

In honor of Thanksgiving approaching, it's time I express how incredibly thankful I am for EVERYTHING Workout LA has done for me. I first started bootcamp late last spring, and since then have completely changed my lifestyle and have never felt better! Before bootcamp I worked out once a month, and now anything less than 4 times a week feels terrible. I have learned how to properly use weights, as well as a variety of other techniques that I can do anywhere (a nice change from cardio). I have lost over 10 pounds, and close to 4% body fat. After the second month I was so goal-oriented that I quit smoking, became educated in how to alter my diet for the figure I want, and I have never been happier. If I could give this program - specifically Arek - 10 stars, I would!!! GO WORKOUT LA! read more

I've been going to this bootcamp for a few years now and I highly recommend it to everyone. You will get a consistently challenging diverse workout no matter what your fitness level is. read more

I can only attest to the spirit and the verity of the bootcamp. It's only my 2nd week and I have 2 more full weeks to go before I can fully review the exercise. BUT, let me just say, it's really difficult to wake up at 4:45 A to get to a bootcamp. It's especially hard when it's dark throughout your whole workout. Scottie has done such a stellar job that in addition to him, the regular campers boost the morale too! You're challenged physically, but he works with you to push through the hour that you're there. He wants you to get your money's worth. He wants you to keep coming back. He wants you to keep reminding yourself why you're waking up at 4:45 A to begin with. They've got a great spirit. And even on an early Monday morning, it's something to look forward to. read more

Fun class, engaging instructor, and great conditioning! The people make this camp more fun than other camps! There's always someone at your level, so you never feel like your the last one. 20lbs down! 10 more to go! Thanks Arek! read more

If you are looking for a super fun way to get in shape in a motivating environment & enjoy working out in a park, look no further... Joining Workout LA was one of the best decisions I have made & I have been coming here for over 1 year now....this review is WAAAAY overdue! Scott is an A-Class Coach!! He consistently works on creating fun & effective workouts for us. He incorporates a bunch of different exercises so you will never get bored! Each muscle group in your body is attended to & although it's challenging at times, the long term results make it all worth it. In addition, there is truly nothing like that rush of endorphins after a tough (but always fun) workout! I have noticed a MASSIVE improvement in my physical appearance, stamina, endurance, energy levels & confidence since joining Workout LA. Everyone in the group is friendly & there is a huge element of support of encouragement by all. Oh! and if you are not in the best shape right now, that's ok! We are all here to hit our individual goals & work together! I highly recommend Workout LA to anyone who is looking for a truly amazing way to workout :) You have to check out Workout LA to see what I'm talking about, you won't regret it! read more

Love it. My brain works better since going. Challenging, but not crazy " im going to barf". Coach Scottie is encouraging. Nice people. Great way to start the day read more

If you are a first timer or a full on workout fanatic these bootcamps will be fitted for you. Scott constantly keeps you going and encourages you to push yourself a little bit further each time. You don't feel pressured, rather you want to push yourself to do better. You'll enjoy it and I assure you it will pay off :D hope to work out with you guys!!! read more

WorkoutLA - Boot Camps Near Me - Los Angeles, California

I've tried a couple other boot camps in the LA area and this group is by far the best I've experienced. The circuits really push your physical abilities and I always feel exhausted but amazing after each workout. I purchased a 3 month Groupon and just started my second month and I definitely plan on joining the Inner Circle when my Groupon expires. What sets this camp apart from the others is our trainer Arek really shows interest in getting you in the best physical shape. He gives great advice on nutrition and equipment to help you maximize results . The group as a whole is very welcoming and friendly so new people like myself did not feel too awkward on my first few days. I took a 15 year break from exercising and really dreaded physical activity but 2 months into WorkoutLA and I'm hooked! read more

I've just started my second boot camp and really do love working out with this group. The instructors Arek and Nick are fantastic - they make you work hard every time. Class time options are great with morning and evening schedules! Classmates are welcoming and friendly and that's a plus! Love it so much that I have signed up for the inner circle and my husband has joined too! read more

As we head into the New Year, I can't express how excited I am to continue my training with Coach Scottie and WorkoutLA. I started with bootcamp back in April 2014 and have moved into working with Coach Scottie as my personal trainer. He is AWESOME!! As I mentioned in my previous review...if you are looking for a smart, effective, workout; educated trainers (if they don't know the answer to a question, they research to make sure you are getting the best advice); help with motivation; and FEELING good...I HIGHLY recommend WorkoutLA and Coach Scottie! He keeps the workouts challenging and interesting while always keeping your personal goals in mind. You never feel you are just part of the crowd...every person counts! I am truly thankful, every day, for the inspiration and support I receive from Coach Scottie...and, look forward to a challenging, successful, fitness experience in 2015! read more

I am so addicted to this workout. Scottie kicks my ass and pushes you harder than you've ever been pushed in your life! It's small so you can't hide from him. Everyone is super nice in the class and Scotty is a great coach. I've never looked better than I do now!!!!! Also it's just out side at a park, we use simple resistance bands and park benches sometimes for our workout. Everyday the workout is different! Highly highly recommend!!! read more

When it comes to me and exercise, there are 2 truths: 1. I can't do it by myself; and 2. If I don't get it done early in the day, it's just not going to happen. I've never loved exercising and my work schedule can get crazy, so a group class that happens first thing in the morning tends to work best for me. WorkoutLA fit the bill, and after coming across the Groupon deal, I decided to take the plunge. Good thing I did, because it's an awesome program! I was skeptical at first about the class being outdoors as I've only ever worked out indoors, but surprisingly, I really like that aspect of this bootcamp. It's great to start off the day with some fresh air, which I typically don't get during the day because of my desk job. The instructors are very good, and you can definitely go at your own pace and make adjustments as you need to for your own fitness level. The best thing is the group dynamic - everyone is supportive and not competitive at all. We're all different levels, ages, shapes and sizes, and it doesn't matter, there's no judgment. The 5:30 am class takes place at Pan Pacific Park, which is right next to The Grove. There's a big parking lot that's well-lit with plenty of space. There is also a nutrition program you can participate in at no additional charge where you send your weight & daily food/beverage info via email. Arek will then send back advice, guidance, tips, etc. It's definitely a nice perk and helps keep you on track towards your goal. If you've done the bootcamp format before, or if you haven't but are interested, try this one out - you'll be glad you did! read more

I purchased the 3 month Groupon & decided to go to the 7am class MWF. I honestly wasn't sure how long this whole waking early thing was going to last for me because I'm SOOO NOT a morning person & I HATE working out. Almost 2 months in & I'm hooked. I have NOT missed 1 class. Coach Scottie is great, he makes working out fun (I NEVER thought I would use workout & fun in the same sentence...lol). I can't say enough good things about coach Scottie & Workout LA. I'm definitely singing up for the year membership once my Groupon is over. 2016 bikini bod here I come!!! :) read more

I'm really glad I found WorkoutLA since moving into the Studio City neighborhood. I ran into a young lady (Silva V) and asked where she worked out cuz I wanted arms that looked like hers! haha (true story). She said WorkoutLA. I had forgotten how important cross training is for my IronMan distance triathlons. Coach Scottie is creative, knowledgable and extremely attentive to all levels of experience and fitness. He also encourages a lot of interaction between classmates, and it soon feels like you're working out with family. Definitely challenging and accepting at the same time. They also have an optional Obstacle Course team (think Spartan races) which welcomes members of all fitness levels - the goal is to finish and have fun while getting more and more fit. I even got my 15-year-old son to enjoy coming - and he hates exercising!! And it hasn't taken long for my arms to look as lean as Silva's! read more

I love working out with this group! Everyone is super supportive. Coach Scottie is always encouraging and watching your form so it feels like you have a personal trainer. There is no excuse to not work out especially with the Zoom options. read more

WOLA is still going strong, now with Coach Scott! A year and a half+ later, I am still loving this work out on a regular, weekly basis. Coach Scott is committed to making sure everyone has a great work out and gets the most they can out of it. He'll work with you on your fitness goals and sees the strength in you that you may not notice yourself. He creates a non-competitive (with others) atmosphere and the people in the classes are friendly and fun to work out with. read more

I have been going a couple of weeks now, and I love it. The group of people that attend are great, everyone helps each other out, and supports one another, it keeps you motivated, and not discourage. I was referred by a couple of people from my work, and I can't thank them enough. Scotty is excellent. He is patient, and motivational, and a great teacher. I highly reccomend that everyone join. read more

I have been training with Scott at the Studio City Boot Camp since Late September 2013. Now I'm well on my way to staying in shape with a group that motivates, competes, and pushes one another to reach our workout potential lead by Scott. We have fun while we work out. He also helps our group with information and tips and will spend extra time with you if you have any questions about the workouts. He always changes the workout so they are never boring and we have all seen vast improvement in our stamina, cardio and technique. I can't begin to tell you how happy I am that I made the decision to have Workout L.A. as my choice of boot camp read more

I've worked out with these trainers for 2+ years in a bootcamp setting, and let me tell you, they know what they're doing. Mid 2013 I had to take a break from training with them due to a move to the west side, and working out with them just wasn't possible anymore. I'm a terrible self-motivator, and bootcamp is what keeps me consistently working out. I tried out numerous other things in my time off, but nothing stuck, and I just thought I'd slip into "out of shape-ness", wasting the previous 2 years I spent getting into awesome shape. However, I am THRILLED that they have added a Culver City location, and Leticia is the trainer there. This girl has some serious personal trainer skills. If you want to get in shape, regardless of your current fitness level, Leticia is your gal. (I can vouch for all the other WorkoutLA trainers as well...they all rule.) read more

I never thought I'd say this, but I love going to bootcamp and working out. Arek is truly a wonderful instructor who really cares about his students. He's always encouraging you to do your best in a positive way. I look forward to going to camp and working out (this is shocking to me)! I'm the least coordinated/athletic person I know and Workout LA has really changed the way I feel about getting into shape.This bootcamp doesn't get boring because you never know what fun and crazy exercises are going to come at you day of. I found this bootcamp through groupon almost a year ago and I keep coming back because it is a truly enjoyable experience. read more

I write to you, dear Yelpers, to profess my love for Workout LA and our fearless leader, Arek. I started out with a Groupon last February and have stayed with the camp for over a year and a half now. It's a great bootcamp and there are many regulars who fall in love and never leave! However, you're probably here to ascertain if this bootcamp is for YOU, so here are the highlights: Results. The workouts are great. As mentioned in many of these Yelp posts, they're designed to meet and challenge every participants fitness level and very accommodating to any injuries. Combined with a mindful diet, I was stronger, leaner, and lighter after just my first camp and have seen great changes to my endurance and athleticism over the past year. Camaraderie and just enough competition. I have never joined a gym in LA because I (perhaps irrationally) fear an environment filled with the beautiful people that haunt each and every Whole Foods. LA Adventure Boot Camp has curated a welcoming, friendly, and encouraging group that you look forward to seeing three times a week. Meanwhile, the regulars (some who are veterans of 3+ years!) are simultaneously inspirational and approachable. Variety. Over the years, I've sampled my fair share of Jillian Michaels and Billy Blanks at-home videos. Effective workouts, yes, but inherently repetitive. With Arek, different routines and exercises every session keep both your mind and body from getting bored. If these are your priorities as well, I highly, highly recommend Arek and Adventure Boot Camp. read more

I don't usually like (or hate) anything enough to bother with reviews, but I really, really love this bootcamp. I have tried many gyms and many bootcamps, and while many of them were effective, I just didn't enjoy going, so I eventually dropped off. These are the specific reasons that I love this camp: 1) It's outdoors! I love that I get to run around a park 3 times a week. 2) Arek and Kim are both super friendly and knowledgeable. This matters because: 2a) I get intimidated easily by super intense people, so the fact that they're so nice means a lot to me 2b) I am a professional ballroom dancer and I cannot afford to get injured, even if it's just a minor injury. Both Arek and Kim are aware of my previous injuries and have been great about helping me modify my workouts when necessary. This has resulted in no new injuries, and a great deal of recovered strength from the old ones. 3) The workouts are surprisingly intense, even when modified. While there is no one barking at you, you are still motivated to push to your limit. It has been a long time since I have had a workout that was intense enough that did not result in injury after one month. 4) The other members are great! everyone has been really nice, and while don't feel the need to compete with everyone, I do feel pushed to keep up. I am starting my 4th bootcamp. I am down 5 pounds from where I started, but more importantly, I am stronger than ever. If you are worried that the workouts will not be hard enough, don't be. Again, I am a professional ballroom dancer, and I need to stay in tip top shape for competitions. This is doing the trick. If you are worried that the atmosphere will be too intense, don't be. You'll feel right at home. See everyone else's reviews to confirm this. Finally, if you are worried about the price, don't be. This is the most reasonably priced bootcamp I have found in all of LA. Not only is the bottom line excellent, the value for it is amazing. Try it out. You won't be sorry. read more

I highly recommend Workout LA! Arek is a great trainer and every class is filled with challenges. The great thing about this boot camp is no matter your fitness level you can do it! The hour goes by quickly and you really feel accomplished for the rest of the day. I do the 5:30AM class and find it to be a good time because the park is quiet and fairly empty and with summer approaching it is cooler at this hour. Every work out promises to be a good one. Definitely worth checking out!!!! read more
