BODYROK Santa Monica - Santa Monica (CA)

Nure Tamanna I started going to Aviator Nation this summer and I have to say its one of the best studios in the area. Ive attended boxing and yoga classes (have yet to take a ride), and I really enjoy the small group sizes, attentive instructors and their approach to taking things at your own pace. I feel like I get a solid workout every time without being intimidated by the complexity. The space is clean, tucked at the back of the store, so you are working out in a private space and not in full view from the streets. The custom combo locks are super helpful and towels are readily available for use. Best to bring your own wraps/gloves, yoga mat, and spin shoes... but the cost to borrow is not too high if you do need them. Highly recommended!

Stephanie Lue Abigail is a fantastic personal trainer. She is an expert on nutrition and in-gym exercises and I love working with her. I am completely supported in changing my nutrition plan - learning about macros, finding the right foods, meal planning, making good choices while traveling, etc. In the gym, Abi has extreme attention to detail; she makes very important corrections on form to maximize ROI on each exercise. Ive always been active, and have worked with personal trainers, physical therapists in the past - none of them had made the massive difference in my fitness, as Abi has made for me.

Peter T I came into town visiting for a work trip and stumbled across sessions personal training. I am an avid fitness goer, and finding this gem in Santa Monica was what I needed during my work trip. The gym is beautiful the owner Evan was incredibly nice and the bathrooms were immaculate. They focus on personal training, but we’re happy to open their doors to me during my visit. Can’t recommend them enough

Omar Meza Super clean space, all employees were great. Shout out to Pepper at the front desk for a great introduction to Barry’s Santa Monica. It was my first time taking a Barry’s class, and after my experience here I would definitely come back again!

Carla Nunez I’ve tried f45, orange theory, private gyms and I keep coming back to circuit works. There’s nothing like it. They have everything from saunas, yoga, kickboxing, HIIT. Rafael is very dedicated to his business. He place close attention to everyone there and where they are on their journey. Whether it’s loosing weight or gaining muscle. Always hitting us with the inspirational quotes throughout class and great music!!! You won’t find any other gym like circuit works.

Timur Mammadov Muscle Beach Venice is such an iconic place! Training outdoors under the California sun, right by the ocean, gives an amazing energy and atmosphere. The gym has a unique old-school vibe with plenty of equipment for strength training, and you can always see dedicated athletes and fitness enthusiasts working out here. It’s not just a gym, but a piece of fitness history and a must-visit spot for anyone who loves sports and healthy living.

Helen Menasche Santa Monicas best kept secret. If you asked me 6 months ago that Id go to the gym every day AND enjoy it, Id think you were CRAZY! Before Fitstop, I never lifted a barbell in my life. The atmosphere is so welcoming to all levels, and I cant believe the progress Ive made (with no short cuts). The excellent coaches (S/O to Johnnie and Semaj) make sure you are doing movements the right way to avoid injury but also to make sure to properly strengthen the correct muscles. You rarely work out alone and partners help keep me going. The team/group aspect plus the incredible, well-vetted trainers makes this the best gym! It doesnt hurt that the facility is clean and rarely crowded. Two huge bonuses: ▪︎Plenty of free parking in the lot, not street parking! ▪︎Fitstop is on ClassPass.

Emily Emmons Pure Barre has become so much more than just a workout for me—it’s a daily practice that gives me an hour to reconnect with myself. Each class is a chance to check in with my mental and physical state, focus on my breath, and let go of anything that isn’t serving my best self. I’m 82 classes in now, and I can honestly say I don’t know what I’d do without it. I’m deeply grateful for this space, this community, and the clarity it brings into my life.

Shelly DePalma Rudy and Jenn are awesome! They are very knowledgeable and have been creative in working around my back issue which has enabled me to continue to train with them for the past three years. I highly recommend Squatbox.

Carrie Denoyer Awesome class and studio space! Clean facilities and welcoming staff. You can book various kinds of group and/or private sessions.
