I have always struggled to lose weight and find a gym community to fit in with. It always seemed like other gyms already had their groups that were all on the same level as each other, so going in as a newbie was terrifying. As soon as I stepped into surfcore, I felt right at home and not judged for being overweight. It reminded me of my swimming days where the trainers provide structure and guidance to help you achieve your goals.Since then, I’ve been a member here for 2 years, and still love the workouts, lost a lot of weight and KEPT it off. They also offer barbell during workouts, which I have now been doing for a year under their proper guidance and form, and have never felt stronger or more confident.I highly recommend this gym to anyone who is looking for a positive and welcoming gym community while achieving their health goals.

Finding a gym was at the top of my list when I moved to LA, and i cant believe i lucked out by finding this fantastic gym. I've always been pretty active but Surfcore has brought my fitness to a whole different level. The classes are challenging but the small group allows the trainers, Carlos and Jose, to help people with form and encourage beginners to keep going.The most important thing about this gym is to keep showing up, do YOUR best, and the rest will fall into place. I never felt intimidated here or overwhelmed. From the beginning I was encouraged to do the workout at my level of fitness, not somebody else's. It truly is push yourself against yourself and watch the results come crashing in.Everyone here is so welcoming and the vibes are fantastic. It's so fun watching everyone around you continue to get stronger and reach goals they didn't think were possible. Everyone here celebrates each others wins. When there's a new PR being set the whole gym erupts, if you have a goal in mind you will feel supported 110% here.I highly recommend this gym to anyone who is serious about fitness and wants to have a great time getting there. The community here is genuine. If someone needs help with something outside the gym the whole place comes together to help. They will celebrate your successes, be there (& help) during your hardships and hold you accountable if they notice your routine is off!

When I found Surfcore Fitness in September of 2021, I had been without a workout routine or fitness community since the beginning of lockdown. Surfcore has an introductory deal with 2 weeks of unlimited classes for a very reasonable price - but I knew almost immediately that I'd become a monthly member because I looked like a hot mess and no one gave me side-eye. The trainers, Jose & Carlos let me do half the reps for the first couple of classes until I got my groove back and they were sure I wasn't going to die.The HIIT workouts alternate day-to-day between lower body and upper body, which is pretty standard, but they always keep things fresh in terms of tone and intensity. Carlos & Jose take the time to correct your form and to explain how an exercise is supposed to feel - if you need modifications because of an injury or mobility issue, they help with that too. They also know all these crazy stretches for before and/or after class specific to whatever we did that day.Surfcore is located next to the drive-thru Starbucks on LaCienega. There's plenty of parking in the back alley between LaCienega and Alvira. They have tons of clean and well-maintained equipment - dumbbells, kettlebells, barbells, slam balls. plyo boxes... They even have a few rowers in case part of the workout involves running and someone isn't able to for whatever reason. They have evening classes Mon - Thurs and morning classes every day except Sunday (so convenient!)The whole vibe at Surfcore is very warm and welcoming, We're able to have fun together and encourage each other through really challenging workouts. I feel so fortunate to have found this place and so grateful to Carlos & Jose for creating this wonderful community ?

If you are committed to getting in the best shape of your life, you need to join Surfcore Fitness. Surfcore is based around hourlong group workout classes with programming that constantly changes. You’ll never get stuck in a rut doing the exact same thing over and over, and no you will never skip leg day!Because of the small class sizes, the trainers Carlos and Jose are able to keep an eye on everyone to push you harder/cheer you on, correct your form, or modify the workout for you if necessary. The best part is the aloha atmosphere that they have cultivated. It’s so easy to make friends here and it’s awesome to see when people hit a new PR or do something in the gym they never thought they could do before.There’s only one downside to joining: you’ll probably need to buy a whole new wardrobe after a few months.

I've been coming to Surfcore for about two years now. The workouts, which reliably have got me sweating and feeling those muscles burning. The trainers are also awesome teachers and have got me thinking and approaching my form in a whole new way that is significantly better than before. After lockdown, Surfcore helped me get moving again and gave me some great friends! If you're curious, it's worth a try to see if it works for you!!

I have been working out at this high-intensity interval training (HIIT) studio for the last few years, and I must say that I am still always away by the experience. The studio is clean, and welcoming. The instructors Carlos and Jose are knowledgeable, friendly, and supportive throughout the entire workout.What I love most about this HIIT studio is the variety of exercises and the high-energy atmosphere. The workouts are challenging and intense, but they are also fun and engaging. I never feel bored or like I was just going through the motions. Instead, I'm always fully immersed in the workout, pushing myself to my limits and feeling energized and empowered as a result.The studio also has a great sense of community. The instructors and other members are always encouraging and motivating. This sense of camaraderie always makes the workout even more enjoyable and helps me push myself even harder.Overall, I would highly recommend this HIIT studio to anyone looking for a challenging and rewarding workout experience. The combination of intense exercises, supportive community, and energetic atmosphere makes for a truly unforgettable fitness experience.
