Equinox Santa Monica - Santa Monica (CA)

Gia Manzella Hands down the best workout in Santa Monica! Studio is clean and staff are extremely helpful. Every single instructor has amazing energy and genuinely cares about your experience! Will definitely be my new go to spot, and yes it is worth every $$$!

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.

G Always wanted to visit this location since the early days of Arnold dominance. Night outdoor gym with what looks like all facilities. Great boardwalk location in a bustling area. Only downside was the stink of cannabis everywhere.

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.

secher Cham Best gym in Los Angeles. Above and beyond comparison, best gym I have ever seen up until now. Plus they have a weekly pass:) The state-of-the- art equipments using AI are amazing and this is such a great experience. Furthermore the gym’s hygiene level is very high! I strongly recommend everyone to be a member as it is also not a crowded gym

Iris Very nice gym, their personal trainer shira is amazing. Highly recommend

Victoria Wells Jen is great, she stays attentive in the class addressing any improvements and safety tips to veterans and newbies alike. From the first class she remembered my name which I always find impressive as that’s something I struggle with. Her self demos are appreciated and adjusting music based on vibes I love. Her leadership is unmatched, willingness to foster a true and sincere community is something that we need as women in safe spaces as well as society at large. A perfect balance of training for the mind, body and heart.

Robert Smith Looking for a welcoming, friendly and epic box in Santa Monica, this is it! What more could you want… weights and dogs! We popped in for a session whilst in town and was met by a wonderful team and obviously a great workout! Would love to come back when next in town! Thanks guys!

Rob Hernandez This John Reed location is my top pick! I’ve been to LA fitness, Crunch, and Golds, and this is by far the best. There is a lot of space, really nice machines and fresh towels. I like the yoga classes. You can get your work out in and relax. I like the lounge areas too and the gym is across the street from trader joes. Closes at 12 midnight so better hours than most gyms. Ask for Erin. She’s the best!

Lakely Nealis Mark was great! Awesome coach and so friendly too! Dylan at the front desk was also great! Can’t wait to come back!
