I can't express enough the gratitude I have for the coaches at 626. Their expertise, encouragement, and dedication have been instrumental in my tremendous progress, especially during the transformative phases before pregnancy, during pregnancy, and postpartum.Pre-pregnancy, the coaches helped me build a solid foundation. We focused on strength training, stability, and cardiovascular fitness. I learned to listen to my body, exploring boundaries while respecting its limits.During Pregnancy, as my body underwent incredible changes, my workouts were adapted daily to ensure safety and well-being. We modified exercises, emphasizing pelvic floor health, core stability, and gentle movements.Postpartum! The road to recovery after welcoming my precious little one, was a delicate period that I didn't realize how important it was to have proper training. We eased back into exercise, considering my body’s healing process. The encouragement to start slow, focus on form, and prioritize self-care was invaluable.Reflecting on the journey today, I stand stronger, both physically and mentally. My energy levels have soared, and I credit this transformation to the coaches at 626. Whether it was a virtual session or an encouraging message, they were there, cheering me on.So, from the depths of my heart, thank you. Thank you for being more than coaches; you’ve been my allies, my motivators, and my champions. As I continue this journey, I carry your wisdom with me, knowing that health and wellness are lifelong pursuits.

For the last 5 years (and counting), I had the immense pleasure of training at an extraordinary gym that has completely transformed my fitness journey. I cannot begin to express how grateful I am to have had the opportunity to work with such a knowledgeable, motivating, and inspiring group of trainers.From day one, it was evident that the trainers not only had a passion for fitness but also a deep understanding of the human body and how to achieve optimal results. Their wealth of experience and expertise in various training techniques made each session an exhilarating and effective workout.What sets these trainers apart is their ability to tailor exercises and routines specifically to your goals, abilities, and preferences. They took the time to truly understand my goals and limitations, crafting workout plans that were challenging yet attainable, ensuring continuous progress and growth. Their dedication to my success was unwavering, and their continuous support keeps me motivated throughout my fitness journey.I wholeheartedly recommend this gym without any hesitation. You will be forever grateful for the positive impact they will have on your life.

Like everyone else, after lockdown I needed to get back to the gym. Unfortunately my old gym had closed, but luckily I found 626 Strength & Conditioning. Owner Pam & her team of coaches always greet you by name and with a smile. They are excellent at assessing your abilities and tailoring the day's workout to your needs. The classes are small so you you don't get lost in the crowd, and that ensures you're doing the exercises correctly. At xx years old I'm in my best shape ever!

I only have a few days in LA, We came to ask and cannot directly drop in, we were asked to sign up for a free trial class the next day which is reasonable. We booked and waited for the next day. As soon as we arrived the coach said that they no longer have few trial so they cancelled or reservation and need to pay and book another time. Wasted our time, we could be training somewhere else instead of loosing one of our precious holidays mornings. The place is nice but they need to understand that if they commit a mistake should solve it the best way possible not like that.

Came here to 626 to start my training after I decided to get serious about my overall health. The coaching staff really helped me focus on my goals and kept me engaged over the years.

Like everyone else after lockdown I needed to get back in the gym, but my previous gym had closed its doors. Luckily I stumbled across 626 Strength & Fitness, located in the heart of beautiful San Marino. 18 months later the changes I see in myself are amazing! I can lift heavy objects, put them down and pick them up...again! (and then put them back down). My coworkers are amazed at my ability to walk into the conference room and hop up on the table as if it were nothing. But it's not just strength training - there are coordination exercises such as jump rope, which we practice a lot.... a lot. The owner, Pam, and all the coaches greet you by name with a cheery smile that belies what they're about to inflict on you. Now, I can go to parties and confidently ask "Guess how much I can bench press?" without fear of being embarrassed....

Supportive and knowledgeable coaches, various time slots for classes, feeling of community and encouragement from other members.Foundation classes at the beginning are good starting option for beginners of CrossFit or fitness in general like me. Coaches will consider your level and alternate different movements for your level and needs.Definitely recommend for people living in 626 areas.

OMG I absolutely love this place! I've been training with Coach Pam for a little over a year and I have put on 5 pounds of muscle and gotten leaner and stronger and more confident in myself and my abilities. I'm only 5 feet tall and DEEP into my 50s so that means a lot for me. And if you're wondering how I know how much muscle I've gained it's because they have one of those body composition measuring machine thingys. When I first started out I was really nervous. I hate exercising. It's boring and time consuming. I mean I guess it's better than a poke in the eye with a sharp stick, but not by much. So I knew I was going to have to pay someone to kick my bum for me since I'm too lazy to do it myself. For me, this is SO worth the investment.All of the trainers are great here. I work mostly with Pam, who I love. Most of the time. But I've worked with other trainers as well and everyone is great. Except for Victor, who has terrible taste in music. (JK Victor I love you!) All the coaches are super supportive and have really pushed me to achieve my best. I am constantly improving.CrossFit 626 is a real community. I really feel like the coaches and clients are so connected. Last Christmas they hosted a holiday party and it was so nice! I have belonged to a number of gyms in the past and none has provided this kind of experience, where the coaches really take a personal interest in YOU and your goals. And this is true not just for private coaching clients but also for people attending regular classes. I seriously doubt you would find this at the average chain-store gym.Thank you CF626!
