But the best part is their staff, starting from Lamar, Azalaiah at the front, the cleaning crew, the private trainers in the room, super available.

David, the training manager, and Jenna, the personal trainer, were amazing to work with. I'm so…read moreglad I met David. He really listened to my goals and physical limitations and recommended Jenna as the best fit. Before training with Jenna, I was dealing with recurring pain, stiffness, muscle strains, and diastasis recti. Since working with her, all of those issues have improved significantly. I became much stronger and achieved incredible body recomp results. At my 1st check in the number on the scale barely moved but I'd lost 6 inches of measurable fat from around my body and replaced lbs of fat w muscle. That's why the inbody scan is so important. I got it done beginning, middle, and end and invested in a smart scale for home. Beyond the physical results, Jenna gave me the knowledge and confidence to train on my own, and I've continued applying what she taught me. Working with Jenna was hands down the best investment in my physical health. I highly recommend meeting with David and allowing him to guide you toward the trainer who best fits your goals and needs. As for the gym itself, it's one of the cleanest Equinox locations I've been to. There is always staff cleaning equipment and keeping everything organized. If it's your first visit, be sure to allow extra time for parking, the garage can take a while to navigate. Also, don't forget to validate your parking and keep track of your ticket.

I found this gym recently (~the beginning of the year), so I'm not sure how it operates outside of…read morecovid restrictions. Looks like they have a good handle on navigating current COVID restrictions. They have a 12-15 person limit and masks are required. They also provide a spray bottle of disinfectant and a towel to clean up after using. I'm not sure what's in the bottle but I assume it's disinfectant. The weights and other equipment are outside and you are able to get some sun while working out. The weights are a little old but they add to the gym vibes. They have punching bags but masks make it extremely difficult to hit the bag without the mask getting soaked. The gym promotes diversity and inclusion for everyone. it's a pretty chill gym.

YMCA Downtown LA partners up with great groups such as the LA Food Bank, LA Civil Rights, Students Run LA, American Red Cross and numerous others.

Check out their youth and adult programs ranging from hobbies and sports to summer camps and workshops. Additionally the DTLA Y has monthly, annual and day pass memberships.

They place wet towels on the heat sensors and this drives the heat up, causing the heater to automatically turn off. Long term this breaks the heater.

There is no consequence for the men who continue to place the wet towels over the sensors in the sauna and steam room, so consequently this behavior will continue.

Amazing class, wish I'd tried Orange Theory sooner!…read more I took an hour long class with Melany yesterday, and I was amazed! The variety of workouts targeting different zones in the session truly makes it a multi-dimensional workout that keeps you engaged (I get bored easily lol). My FAVORITE part about the workout is the heart monitoring! As a fit, athletic woman who has asthma, I'm always pushed harder than I should because coaches assume I can always do more because I look super fit! But the heart rate monitors allow us to see our rates, and there is color coding that helps the instructor keep us in a healthy range. Melany was VERY attentive to this, and had me lower my speed in order to come back down from "RED" zone when we were in resting/recovery periods before jumping back to high intensity. This made the workout feel so safe for me, and I ended up getting the most splat points my first time here! I'll definitely be back! My only note would be to CHECK THE ADDRESS of the location in your text/email. I typed Orange Theory DTLA in my navigation and it brought me to the "south park" location, which is also downtown. I almost missed my class altogether after having to commute from South Park to the DTLA location.

There's space in the track: Minimal instrumentation & pauses that matter. (Foreshadowing the class.) The Space: Minimal/Somewhat Industrial. Front Entrance: Matte black wood, clean lines A simple check-in Props stacked right outside the room The Yoga Room: Dark. Black walls. Candlelight. No mirrors. Plenty of space between mats. (The darkness pulls you inside your space, inward.) The Class: WeFlowHard Vinyasa w/Kelly Choi We started on our backs. Kelly brought everyone into the same place: Breath. Then lightly layered in core, just enough to wake up the body and connect you inward. From there, the structure takes over: Each flow builds in three rounds: Round 1: Slow, both sides You learn it Round 2: Breath & movement You feel it Round 3: All Yours You dance it out in your rhythm You're trusted to move as a collective or at your own pace. No pressure either way. Each Flow: Flow 1: Warm-up Flow 2: Short, connective sequence Flow 3: Balance & focus layered in (Example: One-Legged Mountain Pose Airplane Shiva squat Half Moon keep going...) Just enough to hold your attention...and then release it. We finished off with light core, stretching & then suddenly...savasana. The Teacher: Kelly Choi Calm. Steady. Easy to Follow. English cueing followed by Sanskrit. She sets the rhythm and lets the structure do the work. Because you're listening to remember, your mind stays engaged enough that time disappears. Genuinely, the fastest 60-minute class. What I Noticed: It's not intense, but the structure works. Once slow. Once a little quicker. By the third round, you're not really thinking anymore. Your body remembers. Your breath takes over. And then you're just moving. (Think less, feel more.) Practical Notes: Free parking lot Lockers (with locks) Private, gender-neutral bathrooms & showers Mats & towels available for rent Props right outside the infrared yoga room The room never got too hot, just enough heat for a light sweat.

Hi Y7 Team, I wanted…read moreto share feedback about a recent Sculpt class. There were not enough towels available for our mats, face towels, or for showering afterward. About half of the class seemed to be without towels, which was especially frustrating after a heated Sculpt class. I do want to recognize Ciara, who was very kind, understanding, and professional about the situation. Unfortunately, my interaction with the other employee at the front desk was the complete opposite. She was dismissive and came across as having an attitude when I simply asked about the towel situation, which made me feel uncomfortable and unwelcome. Ciara demonstrated exactly the kind of customer service I would expect from Y7, and I think the other employee could benefit from following her example in how concerns from members are handled. I understand that supplies can occasionally run out, but the combination of having no towels and then being treated rudely when asking about it was disappointing. I hope this can be addressed with the team. Thank you, Austin
