Elevation Fitness

This is a small private gym on the heart of WeHo. i followed my pilates trainer from equinox to this gym, and they have the best pilates studio... very large and all the best equipment, and from what i can tell great instructors all around. there is also a regular gym there and i see most people doing private training, and there is a great chiropractor (gino) there who is great when something hurts (and at age 44 oh it does...). i still go to equinox for yoga and cardio, but as far as pilates goes this is unmatched (and ask for frank zito who is AMAZING as a trainer and i now work with him for 3 years straight and he basically fixed my back...). i like that the owners seem to care and every week they add some new feature or paint or re-organize. worth considering for sure. more

Freshly remodeled (read: CLEAN!), Elevation is an intimate workout loft with a friendly atmosphere and all the latest in exercise and physical therapy equipment. New owners, husband & wife John & Deb really care about health and wellness and helping you achieve your goals and stay motivated. The focus is on Functional Fitness training, which so far as I can tell is just a fancy name for cross-training to make sure the body stays in balance, -- to reduce the risk of injury from sports or even daily life. (But if you?ve already injured yourself, ?Dr. John? happens to be a chiropractor and they also offer physical rehabilitation programs and massage.) There's Pilates, Boot Camp, Personal Training and what they call ?Semi-Private? Training which, again, is really just a fancy way of saying you get a discount when you?re willing to share your session. (Keyword: ?willing? ? if you?re lucky, the other people don?t always turn up!) I?m really happy with my trainer, Micah. I?ve only been going a couple of months and I?m seeing results already. But all the trainers are warm and professional. It?s overused but I can?t think of a better word, everyone is just so doggone NICE! Pros: State-of-the-art training, great people + FREE parking! Cons: Not for you if you're looking for a ""meet"" market. more

It is a very outstanding gym, it is VERY cutting edge, the owners and staff are very friendly and highly trained professionals who take your health and wellness seriously. Pros: Over the top facility for health, fitness, and more Cons: Have yet to find one more

I recently worked out there for the first time with a great trainer, his name was Vernon while I was visting West Hollywood. This is one of the best gyms I have ever seen, what a nice facility and trainer. I would use this gym again and highly recommend it. more

absolution was the coolest and most fun gym i have ever been to. i took classes in circus arts, rock climbing, and pilates during my stay in LA. the club is nothing like a gym, it has couches and a real ""hang out vibe"". its a great place to bring friends and take classes together. i especially loved the ""SPYSCHOOL"" stuff. Pros: interesting, fun, innovative Cons: none! more
