FAVORITE GYM IN THE CITY!!! Jyima and Sophia are an amazing team. The vibe is so family without and friendly. The classes are intense and keep you wanting more. Location is perfect and central. Jyima’s like that big brother that’s sweet but won’t let you slack.

This is hands down the best gym in LA. Sophia and Jyima are the most knowledgeable trainers that I’ve ever worked with. Their workouts are extremely effective and you get results. The community is kind, welcoming, and supportive. I’m a proud member <3

Member for 8-9 years. When I signed up, monthly membership was $35. It's now $70 and they have literally no new amenities, got rid of tanning, and LESS parking.

I've been LOVING my unlimited membership at The Jyim!! After my apartment gym closed, I tried working out from home with videos/apps but it wasn't until I signed up for The Jyim that I could truly challenge myself while working out. For almost two months I've been doing the 6am Zoom Core & Cardio class with Sophia and the 9am Booty Build with Jyima. When I want to add more workouts, I use the recorded videos on Instagram. Highly recommend if you're needing a challenge and don't want to buy a full home gym during the pandemic!! Everyone is very friendly and welcoming, just enough push to get you working harder but fun enough to keep you coming back for more.

I wanted to leave an excellent review without anyone from here asking me or anything, due to the fact that Jyima and other staff are so kind and awesome. Great classes and amazing energy. Support small businesses with passionate owners! Really great pricing and easy parking too. Thanks for the great space to look forward to!

The good news about this place is that it has a parking lot in the Arts District. The bad news about this place is that it has a parking lot in the Arts District with a brewery and it's pretty pricey to park there, and you might want to reward yourself with a beer after your workout :P Parking aside, this place is amazing!! I first met Jyim when he first opened this place up - it was super tiny, and I'm so happy he's expanded! There's 2 main rooms where classes take place. One is mainly focused lifting and the other dedicated towards HIIT and boxing. I love this place because unlike some boxing gyms mainly focusing on cardio, this place teaches you the ins and outs of boxing, if you want it. If you want a technical boxing gym, this is your place. If you want a place that has cardio boxing, you can do that too. They're not judgmental at all and allow you to find your happy place! Haven't tried their boot-camp, but looks like he's got a 8week class too! I'll definitely give them a try!

I visited this gym via ClassPass for their Cardio + Core class. The gym itself was what I expected for a neighborhood gym in the Arts District. Nothing fancy, but it was clean and seemed to have all the equipment needed to get in a good workout. The class instructor (wish I could remember her name) had good energy and was friendly. She led a small-group HIIT style workout to hip-hop beats alternating between cardio and core with short breaks. It definitely got my heart rate up, but I didn't feel as though it was particularly challenging. Also, there wasn't much emphasis on or corrections to form and with only 6 people in the class, I think I expected a little more coaching (corrections or additional push/motivation -- I feel like it's part of the reason you come to small group class like this). In this class, the instructor either showed or told us what to do and you got to it while she counted down the time between transitions. Normally, I'd expect to leave these types of classes spent...you know, in a good way, but instead I felt like I could have and maybe should have completed another workout, lol. I did appreciate the warm-up before class and the cool-down stretching after. Not sure if I'd return, especially to this particular class, only because I do the same exercises back in my apartment's gym. I can see how this would be a solid local gym though -- the people seemed great. And if your goal is just to get your heart rate up and sweat, then this might be a good class for you. Maybe I'll try boxing next time? Everyone seems to rave about those classes!

I started my day at The Jyim and I'm happy I did! The good thing about morning workouts here is the available parking. You almost don't believe you're in LA. It was my first time here and I loved it. I was welcomed by the owner himself, Jyima! He explained how the gym was his name with an "a" at the end, a true marketing genius. I got there a little early and he encouraged me to use the bikes/ treadmill as a use to warm up for the class, which I really appreciated (thank you)! I joined Sophia P.'s HIIT Bootcamp and boy did it kick my butt. She did a great job at stretching us before and after the 60 min class. We knocked off the ab circuit prior to the interval training (she said it's usually done in the end). We then did two parts of interval training, each session had five stations. Each station was no longer than 2min. I was ugly sweating towards the beginning!! I loved it. It was a great workout. It was a load of information at the beginning. Sophia was super patient though, she did a great job of walking me through the exercise if I found myself lost. At one point, she corrected my form, which I was grateful for, I had been doing the exercise wrong all my life. I left learning something new! The class was small in size but big in impact! I left feeling proud of the work I had put in. I know they also offer personal training, if that peeks your interest. They have bathrooms, but no showers. Check them out! They also offer kick boxing, boxing, arms/abs/ass, muscle lean, booty build, and core/ cardio.

Wow, what can I say! This gym is the total gem of DTLA. Took a few boxing classes here and the instructors really kick your butt, and I've been training avidly for more thann 2 years. They're extremely knowledgeable and friendly, and really make you feel like you're a part of their family. It's great for all levels of fitness, so don't be afraid if you're just starting out! Plus, the facilities are SPOTLESS and clean. I would give more stars if I could!

As someone who hated to work out, the Jyim has been amazing at getting me (and my friends) motivated. I've been coming for classes and personal training with Sophia since October. I suggest Iron Pump or Boxing for classes at first, they're super easy to follow and the instructors will help you out so you don't get lost! Training with Sophia has been actually so much fun-- she's helped me guide a healthier way to eat my food, which is so great for someone like me who didn't even know how to eat healthy at all! We've been training 2x a week for a while now, and she makes sure to account for how tired I am, what I've eaten so far, and modify my workout to get maximum results while making sure I'm not burned out. She's helped me get familiar with gyms, and become less intimidated to go by myself when I'm not training with her!

I always get a great workout at the Jyim. As someone who barely worked out, I was initially pretty intimidated to come here. But I'm so glad I did, and have been coming for classes and personal training for about a year! I train with Angie (@angiemitchellfitness) 2x a week. After my initial meeting with her, I felt instantly less intimidated. She's super attentive, responsive, and you WILL see results! For anyone who is just starting out their fitness journey and like me - knows little to nothing about training- I recommend you schedule a session with Angie! I've also taken a variety of classes with other trainers and always had a great time. Of course everyone's needs are different so take the time to talk to staff there and find who/what works best for you. The Jyim also offers classes on ClassPass for 5 credits (up to 3 classes a month, then I think it goes to 6-7 credits). For newcomers, I recommend Muscle Lean or Body Blast. They're great full body workouts to get a feel for the Jyim without absolutely dying. Then my personal favorite is Booty Build. My a** is sore for days but true to its name... if you take this class regularly you will build dat booty. And they also have boxing classes! Class sizes are between 5-10 ppl depending on time/day. Some classes lean more female, but overall I see an equal ratio of men/women there. Mats, towels, and a shower stall is available on site. Parking is available in the lot for $10. I recommend arriving at least 15min early to drive around for street parking. Time it right and you can easily find spots from people leaving the previous class. Also conveniently located in the arts district so you can grab coffee across the street or walk over to Urth for a well deserved green tea boba (jk an iced Americano is probs a better life decision but u do u girl)
