Fitness & Gyms in Encino, CA

“Bought a package for my fiance and she loves it. Loves the one on one attention in a nice clean environment and is really enjoying the workout. Yes she says it is kicking her butt, BUT in a good way. After I recover from surgery I am anxious to join her on these round robin sessions, I am already seeing it pay off for her. She tells me the instructors are super attentive as well, so go show some support for this family owned business and get into summer shape”

“I’ve been coming to Arena Fitness for a little over a year now and have loved my experience with them! When I joined, I had been doing various studio class-based workouts for a few years with popular chains in LA and had been maintaining my fitness, but not improving. I wanted to find somewhere that would not only help me increase my fitness, but also help me focus on what I can be doing at home (cooking/nutrition/lifestyle) that would support the fitness level that I wanted to achieve. After looking around, I stumbled upon Arena online and figured I’d give them a shot to see what happens. Spoiler alter, I’ve never looked back at other gyms.Over the last year, I’ve finally lost the weight I’ve been trying to get rid of for the last 4 years, feel much more confident in myself, and have developed new habits at home that have improved my physical and mental health. That’s what makes Arena Fitness somewhere special. All of the coaches are not only good trainers in the gym, but they put a lot of focus on the overall health and wellness of their clients. Just by spending a little time talking to the coaches, it’ll become obvious how knowledgeable they are about their trade and how willing they are to share that expertise with their clients. As you’ll see in other reviews, the coaches are by far the best part of Arena and I can honestly say they’ve become friends that I want to see multiple times a week (surprising given how exhausting the workouts can be at times).I’ve specifically been focused on their strength training classes, and these classes are a little different than their other classes. The strength training classes only have about 3 – 6 people in the studio at a time which enables the coaches to focus on each person individually. They help with weight selection, technique, modifications, and motivation. If you’re like me and you a) don’t really know what you should be doing in the gym and b) wants someone who will help you select the right weights for your goals then this is the right class to be in. Arena focuses on building strong, lean muscle that lasts and supports everyday movements rather than quickly bulking someone up when they may not know how to maintain that shape. The coaches are really respectful and will push you if you want but will give you space to take it easier too if you need it.I could go on about how positive my experience has been, but honestly, the best way to get a sense of the team is to try them out (fun fact, they currently offer a 1-week trial period with no commitment). You won’t regret it!”

“thank you so much anaiza for having so much patience and helping me with my member ship. you have such outstanding customer service and made me feel welcomed . we need more loving and caring people like you i would highly recommend this location due to having a clean environment and amazing employees.”

“My family loves the gym and staff. My daughter regularly asks to go to mygym to play with Becky and Aaliyah.She just had the best birthday party there and we felt right at home. Highly recommend this location.”

“I actually have not been here, but I'm hoping the owner see this. Please open one of your gyms in Ventura County! We have shitty gyms in our county! I think if you guys opened a premium gym here in the Collection it would be a hit. We are in dire need of a good gym like this. I've heard so many good things about your place and I wish we could have something better than 24 hour fitness or Golds. Please consider it!”

“My husband and I have been members here for the past four months. My husband used to work out alone at home, and I did CrossFit for two years. Due to a few changes in our schedule, we were in the market for a new gym membership.After we took the tour, we decided to sign up here.The gym is spotless, towels are always available, the shower and locker room area is kept clean, and a cleaning crew is always on site. The machines are all in good condition, and there are plenty of treadmills, but only one of each type of weight machine. This sometimes means you must wait for someone to finish, incredibly when busy.The staff is always friendly, and somebody is always around if you want to ask a question. They always greet you with a smile.I enjoyed their classes and the variety they offer. My favorite instructor was Elle Young. Her cardio class is super fun, and she will make you sweat and work hard!Parking is validated for two hours.Overall, this is a perfect gym, although a little pricey. We had to cancel our membership as we moved to a new area.”
