ESTLR Crossfit - Los Angeles (CA)

David Hidalgo Having been here since 2018, I’ve witnessed the gym change into a new brand and improved in quality, space, personnel, and community. I tried going to cheaper, local gyms but always ended coming back here. Quality over quantity. Friendly environment, mature crowd, and good ethics at this gym. I even used to work as a trainer and assistant GM, so to be still training here says a lot about it. I cannot recommend this gym enough!

Elaine Jones My favorite place cool people great place to workout!

Michele Curcho Amazing gym ever! Empty, good vibes and Thara the manager, she’s is incredibly amazing energy ! Highly recommend this place! I left equinox to do workout here! No regrets ever.

Andy Terzyan This review is for the gym/ club itself, NOT the hotel. My wife and I toured the facility recently and spent the majority of the day there eating, exercising, studying, etc. LAAC is a diamond in the rough and has A LOT of potential to be even better. The gym isn’t as big as other commercial gyms in terms of the machines and workout equipment but it has everything you need. The pool is amazing and one of the deepest I’ve seen in the area. The other amenities are also awesome and it’s a great place to hang out, meet people, grab a bite or drink. The only complaint I have is that while certain areas are very upscale and have been remodeled, other areas haven’t been touched in years/ decades. If a decent amount is set aside to repaint/ remodel/ replace carpets etc. LAAC will be unmatched. Some of the higher floors dedicated to some of the work out classes/ handball and whatnot are tired and are in need to be remodeled and carpets need to be taken out. Since they are under new management, I’m staying hopeful that some of these areas will be worked on which will push LAAC to flourish for another 100 years.

Clio Cho I started Pilates because I’ve always enjoyed yoga, and I’m having so much fun learning thanks to Jini, who teaches exactly the way I prefer. The facility is clean, and I love that there’s a tidy stretching zone right next to the second-floor Pilates studio. Plus, there are cardio and strength training machines on the second floor, so I’ve been making good use of the facilities even after my Pilates classes!

Heidi Sokol What a great workout! The stretches before and after with Kelly felt so good. I havent worked out in so long and I loved Coach Hoops workout. He was clear with the instructions and made sure I was doing things right. He kept the pace moving.

Mia Han As a Black Card member, this Planet Fitness truly feels like my home away from home. The gym is always clean, well maintained, and stocked with plenty of equipment. The staff are friendly and welcoming. For me, the women’s locker room and showers are what make or break a gym—and this location never disappoints. The young ladies on staff clearly take pride in keeping everything spotless, and I really appreciate the care they put into creating such a great experience.

JULIA SIN This gym has everything you need, clean equipment, saunas, cold plunges, Normatech recovery, and InBody scans. They really have your fitness needs covered. My fiancé and I have been working with Brandon and Kevin for about two months, and we’re already seeing improvements in our mobility, strength, and eating habits. From day one, Brandon has been attentive — he listened to our goals and helped us create realistic changes we can actually stick to. Kevin makes every session challenging but super supportive. He’s great at teaching proper form and helping us engage the right muscles, which has boosted both our progress and our confidence in the gym.

Josh Swanson This has been my main gym for the last 6 months, all during COVID. They have a reservation system that prevents it from getting overcrowded at any one time, which I actually hope lasts past the pandemic. Solid weight room with everything you need. No complaints worth mentioning. 4.5 stars rounds up to 5. Edit: The reservation system is now gone, along with mask requirements. Its been a little busier during peak times, but nothing terrible.
