Women RUN! This man is disgusting. He uses his personal training studio as a way to harass women. I am sure there are plenty of desperate woman willing to succumb to his abuse. He use his position as a personal trainer to seduce woman. He has no professional ethics. The things he will say to you just to suck you is unrelenting. He knows tons of people he will promise influence and support, only to leave you hanging. This man does not care one bit about who he hurts or the damage he causes. He preys on women and their low self esteem to have his way, and then once he gets what he wants he terminates services. The only results he is interested in his head board count. Women if you are looking for a trainer go to anyone but him. He will damage you, violate you and blame you.

The equipment is great shape. The scenery is outdated. Carpet still. Great workout when you don’t need continual motivation as this being your home base

I just joined the gym right before everything was shut down due to covid19. So glad I did, I met all the great people that work there. I started doing zoom classes with Helen. I really appreciate all the ways they are keeping us active during quarantine. Can't wait to get back to the gym!

I began training with Coach Helen virtually over two months ago. I wanted to get fit and the Pandemic made things difficult at first. As soon as I joined in the am classes, I realized the classes were a lot of fun and I wasn't the only one on the sessions. Zoom is easy to use and the feedback from Coach Helen is great. Seeing other folks working out as well was motivating to me. I found myself looking forward to the next class. Fast forward a couple of weeks and I had my 12 year old niece joining me as well for the workouts. She saw how much fun they were and wanted in on the fun. Two months into the Pandemic, I have both my sister and niece working out with me on a regular basis. We join in on am & evening classes. Coach Helen has been instrumental in getting us motivated and continue to improve on our fitness goals. I can't tell you how amazed I am at the results. I feel better than ever! I have complete trust that Coach Helen has the know how in what stretches/ exercises are safe for me since I have knee issues. I'm excited to see the improvements in my legs and upper torso. I even keep up with my twelve year old niece now. I wouldn't have been able to do that without the help and guidance from Coach Helen. Her uncanny way of knowing I was slacking on my squats virtually was a shock to me. The fact that she was able to spot my weakness virtually and correct me says so much. Plus, probably prevented an injury from me doing squats incorrectly. I used to fear squats. Now I can do burpees! Helen is truly a Top Trainer. I feel she understood my goals from the beginning and has helped tremendously. I feel stronger and confident. Not to mention how much nicer my legs look in leggings now! I'm excited to continue improving and getting stronger. Thank you Helen for your professionalism and most important, for you ability to motivate me and my family to jump on board to a healthier lifestyle.

I started working virtually with Helen from Anytime Fitness Duarte about 2 months ago. The first thing she wanted to know was what my goals were. Helen then assessed my mobility and physical abilities virtually! Despite the challenges of virtual training her assessment was spot on. We've made huge leaps in my strength, core, and, mobility in the last 2 months. Helen's passion for people and intensity shine through our one-on-one virtual sessions. I also take her 6:30 p.m. group training 2-3 times a week via Zoom and let me tell you, she is on fire! The training I've done with Helen helped me get through a 15 mile ruck for #NRPANDEMIC benefiting Los Angeles COVID 19 relief fund. The amount of knowledge she has is endless. I've learned so much from her including weightless movements that help me get stronger as well as the importance of stretching and recovery. It is clear she is in this for the love of people. Helen's consistency, commitment, and support help keep me hustling and working towards my goals day in and day out. I'd recommend Helen and the team at Anytime Fitness Duarte no matter where you are in your fitness journey! I am proud to be a part of such a great gym!

Highly recommend! Gym owners, Bree and Erick are supporters as are their staff! Cleanest gym I’ve EVER been to. Plenty of equipment, classes, private training sessions to book, access to an APP for those times you can’t make it in. Great family environment members have been so friendly and also supportive of each other’s goals.

UPDATE: I checked my email when I got home and saw that the owner emailed me at around the time I left the house to go to the gym stating the out of office unavailability. I appreciate the gesture but I would hope that any change in schedule should be already reflected online or via the ClassPass schedule ahead of time. I also do not check my email during gym time. - For any ClassPass or non members: Staff is not there during staffed hours to let you in, leading to a waste of your commute time and the time you budgeted for gymming. Why would you advertise staffed hours in person, on your website, on Yelp, etc., when you're not going to honor it? I booked gym time using ClassPass credits and no one was there to let me in even though I arrived at 10:15 am. I rang the doorbell and called their phone multiple times Luckily a kind member let me in and I was able to get my workout in (since I did fairly book it through ClassPThroughout my workout, I heard the doorbell chime several times again, indicating that others had also come solely for the staffed hours. Only when I was leaving at 11:20 am that I saw that someone had posted an "out of office, be back at 12:30 pm" sign on the door sometime between when I had entered and was now leaving. What? How does it make any sense to post an out of office notice within the time period you are supposedly out of office for? It's unprofessional. I gave a second star because the amenities are clean and updated (if you're able to get in, lol).

I've been trying to find a decent Anytime Fitness for 6 months now. I've been everywhere and I have been disappointed with the lack of equipment, space, cleanliness, and safety. This is the ONLY Anytime Fitness I've enjoyed since moving to the LA area. It has so much to offer compared to other gyms, not to mention it's a larger space than all of the AF in the surrounding area. It's never packed when I go. I'm honestly so happy I found this gym. Literally such a gem!!!

Had the pleasure of working out with Coach Bree this week after conditioning myself to build stamina after a health setback...and I was ready for the next level. I explained my physical limitations (due to my over all health) and she was engaged in understanding me. Bree then provided me with a one on one session and mapped out a productive workout...she was consistently concerned that I was meeting my physical thresholds and not exceeding them to prevent any (re)injury. She definitely had me reach a comfort level that was still quite challenging. Throughout, Coach Bree, encouraged me that my goals were something to work up to , everything would take time and that it was ok! I felt no shame or embarrassment for where I should be...she reminded me everyone has a starting point. I felt empowered, safe and most importantly, confident in her abilities. She walked me through every exercise explaining the areas I would be targeting and why. I also took her evening group class...it was "target area" driven for results. Bree and Erick, as the new owners...are wonderful, they care about their staff, and have a commitment to changing the lives of their members. ALSO: This is one of the cleanest gyms I've EVER been too ...I would definitely recommend this SPECIFIC gym at the Duarte location!!!

I am hesitant to write this review, in part because I really enjoy going to this particular neighborhood gym and dont want hordes of new clients ruining the experience for me. My company offers free gym membership. There is literally a gym next door to my office but it's a very busy gym with too many people and I am averse to crowded places and avoid them whenever possible. So I chose this gym because it really has a neighborhood feel to it - most nights when I go, there less than a dozen people, so you rarely have to wait to use a machine unless it's the weight lifting bench. I am not the self motivated type when it comes to gym, so I paid extra for one on one physical trainer sessions along with the group exercises they offer in the evenings. I have been going to the gym on average 5 nights each week since October and I have definitely seen results: my tummy is shrinking, I dont get tired easily from physical exertions, and I just feel better overall. The husband and wife owners of the gym - Bri and Eric are really nice. The two physical trainers they have: Helen and Jorel are excellent coaches and motivators. This is a really passionate crew of people who really want you to be successful in reaching your health goals at your own pace. They will push you past your former limits only when they feel confident you are ready. Your safety always comes first. The gym is not large and doesnt have as much equipment duplication like larger gyms, but its fine given this is not a high volume gym. They also keep the equipment and surface area clean. My only quibble is one of the macines I prefer to use is taking quite some time to be repaired. So if you want a more personal and intimate gym where you end up at least being familiar with most of the other gym clients along with great, attentive and caring service, then Anytime Fitness in Duarte is your neighborhood gym of choice.

This review is for this specific Anytime Fitness location. Joined this gym when it first opened and loved every moment of time spent there! This gym is perfect for people focused on lifting weights, as there are 4 squat racks and a wide array of dumbbells/kettlebells. I sadly had to cancel membership due to a move and it will be really hard to find another gym like this one. Also, I've been to the other locations and they are not as well spaced out with equipment/fitness areas.

I joined this gym around March 2019, signing up was super easy, and Bree (one of the two owners) was so easygoing and helpful while helping me sign up. (I'd never stepped foot in a gym) so I was pretty clueless at first, but still dedicated! Bree had noticed that, and offered to help me train for around three months, and while she kicked my butt, I've achieved so many things I thought were never even possible! To date I've lost about 20 lbs, and plan to start toning up now. Her among the other staff members have always been super helpful and welcoming, it's a smaller gym but that's what I was looking for, it's nice and clean every time I step foot in there, and thanks to Bree's help the weights and machines are easy to maneuver. I could go on..but this place is great, highly recommend to anyone starting out their fitness journey or just want to switch it up to a better gym, thanks Erick and Bree, you two are awesome!
