Easton Gym Co - Los Angeles (CA)

5 /5 Adamm: This is a very old school gym, but in a good way. No bs, just a lot of workout machines and a lot of space and it never feels super or overly crowded when I go. The staff is very nice and helpful and this is one of the few gyms in LA that has a good sauna. I was amazed that Equinox, which is like four times the price didn’t have a sauna and that’s why I ended up choosing to gym here.

1 /5 Adrian B.: What a joke of a gym. Machines are garbage (1st gen - terrible range of motion and dangerous). Weights are super old. Free weight benches are bolted down and mess your back up. Leg press has no safety stop - your life depends on 2 small welded hooks. Cable machine weights stick together and cables constantly go off the track. The list is endless. The place looks and feels like a dumping ground for gyms that throw away their old/broken equipment. Special treatment during the summer: NO A/C! Don’t be fooled by the high ratings. Great gym to injure yourself and get yelled at if you lift anything heavy.

5 /5 Thiago Oliveira: Awesome gym I found in that area, best combo of being both never too full and not overpriced and always has free parking. Has awesome roof where you can exercise in the sun, hit the punching bag, or do yoga with a class. Downstairs always has windows open all year so the entire gym is well ventilated and breezy. Equipment is older and it feels like you’re stepping into a historical gym. There are pictures of famous actors that worked out there. On another floor below there is a locker room and sauna where there is free hair gel, lotion, etc. Lastly, most of the people who go there are really fit so it’s quite motivational and gets you to work harder.

5 /5 Jake Weinraub: I am a long-time member of Easton Gym (since 2013!) and have come to know the community quite well. Easton is a gem in Los Angeles and the place where I was able to transform my fitness alongside some of the most knowledgable staff and trainers in the city. Eastons owner Toby and his passionate staff have facilitated a respectful and supportive community over a long period of time where all bodies are welcome, member input is prioritized, and most importantly, re-racking your weights and putting shit back where you found it is the norm! Working out at Easton feels like being part of a long tradition in Los Angeles. Even though the equipment isnt as new or exciting as other places and "it doesnt have air conditioning!" as everyone LOVES to say, nothing beats working out within Eastons beautiful brick walls, amongst vintage windows that catch a refreshing cross-breeze and dumbbells that look like they were carried by strong men in the 1940s. Easton rarely gets frustratingly crowded, and its members overall are simply RESPECTFUL, relaxed, authentic, and make this the type of business you can only find in Los Angeles. I love Easton gym!

3 /5 Allmy Stuff: New member. Its $89 a month. Nice vibe and location. I didnt find the staff particularly motivated. Theres a sign in the cardio room that says "no cell phones" but a girl conversed loudly on hers while walking the treadmill the entire time I was there. I try to imagine if I worked there, and I walked the cardio room for a minute to clean up or see how its going and I noticed that all 6 tvs were on CNN. Id probably say to myself, "people are here to try to get in shape. People are here to try to clear their head and have a better mental outlook. In what capacity do I think, as an employee, that its an intelligent assessment and decision to leave 6 CNNs on all day broadcasting the worst of everything?" They dont really take it upon themselves to do anything. This is a conversation that on the surface seems petty, but when you dig deeper you really see how pathetic it is. Put on a nature show, put on cartoons, put on a comedy, put on ESPN, theres a million things you can do. You can turn them all OFF. Who puts all six TVs on the same channel anywhere, for anything?
