Absolutely love working out here! I've been a member for nearly a year, and my fitness journey has transformed thanks to the amazing trainers. Amanda's Pilates core class is a standout, and Joe was great if you are looking for private training sessions. I appreciate how well-structured their classes are, fitting perfectly into my schedule. I take the early 6 AM classes with Alex and Joe, and they've helped me stay disciplined. The atmosphere is welcoming, and everyone is knowledgeable and supportive. Highly recommend this gym!

Joining Pharos has been one of the best decisions I've ever made, that's not an exaggeration! I've lived in LA for 8 years and have tried many gyms that I always wound up quitting for one reason or another. It feels like there's a real sense of community between the coaches and the other members, it's become a true third space for me. I love the quality of the classes and the variety they offer. On top of the classes I use the actual open gym multiple times a week which I think is what makes Pharos unique -- the classes are top tier but the gym itself is awesome and you actually enjoy being there. I love coach Amanda who teaches Core and makes what is arguably one of the most painful 50 minutes of my day equally my favorite. The core class is so challenging but it flies by because you're having fun during it and its genuinely changed my body for the better. Coach Alex is a true ray of sunshine and his Train/Build classes are some of the most fun I have ever. Another torturous hour that somehow always leaves me smiling. Coach Carlos is also amazing and I feel like I leave every class having learned a little something. Love PAC!!!

I tried a lot of gyms in the area before deciding on Pharos. This gym is huge! It is always clean and all the equipment is brand new. They have everything you can imagine. The staff here is amazing as well. They are all helpful, friendly, and educated. Have really enjoyed my time working out here and wish I could stay year round!

I've been a member of Pharos for over 2 years. I love the space, coaches, classes, and community. Everyone is super welcoming and knowledgeable. I particularly appreciate Coach Alex and Coach Carlos who offer a number of conditioning and weight lifting classes and Coach Amanda who teaches amazing mat pilates classes. Pharos offers a great place to disconnect and enjoy a good sweat - as well as extensive hours, great equipment, friendly staff, and parking on site. Being a member of Pharos has only improved my wellbeing and I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a place to workout in the neighborhood.
