I was new to LA, and this place nailed it. From day one, the coach was welcoming, inclusive, and genuinely encouraged me to train there as much as I wanted. The workouts were challenging, well-structured, and clearly programmed with intention. Great energy, great people, and a gym that truly practices what CrossFit community is about.

Been training here for the past 6 months, I honestly can say I am in the best shape of my life thanks to my trainer/ coach Luis , I have lost 42 lbs and can lift more weight than ever before. My mile time went from 9 minutes to just below 7 min mile. It is a great open space with tons of free weights. I highly recommend you give them a try. Awesome community of people everyone is welcoming and supportive. It really is the best part of my day. They also have a nice outdoor workout area too.

Been training here for about 6 months . Excellent environment for training . Never made so many friends at a gym. Solid coaching and programming never been so strong just wanted to give them a shout out for all the support they have given me. If your into it Olympic weightlifting or CrossFit this the best spot in downtown.
