I joined this gym a few months ago and it's really become a safe space to get healthy and fit again. It's not big or flashy but has the right equipment to get the job done. Risky does a great job of maintaining a friendly and respectful gym experience for all by the members he attracts. No bros slamming weights or annoying you while you're trying to get a workout in. My one complaint is that the gym is pretty warm, worried about summer heat in the valley.

The gym is squeaky clean, spacious and uncrowded, well equipped, and feels very safe. A great place to work out.But what really sets Risky's gym apart is having him as my personal trainer.He customizes everything to my needs and goals, carefully monitoring everyrep, and he knows how to push me gently to keep making progress. He'ssmart and funny, too, a great conversationalist. Boy was I lucky to go on Yelp when I was looking for a gym after moving to Valley Village. I found Risky and am so glad I did!

I love this gym! Last year I found myself living in LA full-time, I needed to make a change to my health by finally joining a gym and hiring a trainer. Everyone knows how intimidating going to the gym can be, especially with the LA scene. (I was a bit overweight and total novice at the time.) I went to many gyms and found that PF is exactly what I was envisioning for myself. It's a quiet beautiful space, very clean, well appointed, with great clientele, & sweet vibes. It never feels crowded and I never feel awkward about training there. I've been going to Proficiency Fitness for over a year now and I just love it. It's super conveniently located and is an easy place to just get in, do your work out in a clean open fresh environment and then GTFO on your way. Risky, the owner, is very genuine and knowledgeable and I have seen awesome gains since starting training with him. I highly recommend this gym especially if you're not into the scene that LA can have and just want a quiet, super chill,clean place to get your sweat on!

I’ve been at this gym for a little over a week. It is hands down the cleanest gym I’ve been to in LA. Never crowded, and the owner Risky is great. I 10/10 recommend this place to anyone.

From two years ago:It's small, quiet (other than overhead music playing), and always clean. I gladly pay the extra money for clean, working equipment, and pleasant atmosphere. I never have to wait for a machine I want. Wish it had longer weekend hours and a few other pieces of equipment that I like but what Proficiency has works for me.Update: 6/15/22I was a pre-Covid member that really enjoyed working out at the old location; but I just rejoined and the new location is phenomenal!!! There's plenty of parking. I really appreciate their having a mobile app operated locked entry door. I absolutely LOVE the high ceilings, (floor to ceiling?) windows, and perfect temperature/air circulation. The space is plenty large so that you've got elbow room between machines - even though it's no where close to being a high-traffic gym (another huge plus!). It's a peaceful, super-CLEAN place to burn off those Covid-calories with workout towels and separate towels for cleaning. The quality here can't be beat - it's worth every penny - and I'm so glad to be back!

One of the nicest gyms I've ever been to. High end, elegant vibe. Everything looks new and very clean and there's pretty much everything you need for a complete workout. The owner is also very nice. I definitely recommend it.

Proficiency is the best gym for anyone who wants to work out in a serene and clean environment. There never seems to be a wait for any equipment, no one's banging weights and the gym is full of natural light and is very airy and well spread out. Risky is a very friendly owner who is the only trainer in there - and he always helps out non personal training clients. No calls in the gym and no issues with parking provide real relief. The gym is exactly as the long list that Risky describes - because he is really committed to maintaining every one of those features. Couldn't recommend this more highly!

If crowded disheveled gyms with perhaps an edgy environment don't bother you , don't read any further. But if you want a well stocked, well organized gym with ample free weights and cardio machines , you should check out Proficiency Fitness. Don't expect to chat on your phone or come with an attitude just expect to get a great workout in a clean and friendly place.

This is the Best gym in Los Angeles! It' has the best vibe! Clean and very low key. Great equipment and such a fun positive environment! I also train with the owner Risky and he has gotten me the best shape I've been in 20 years! if you want a unique fun inspiring gym, this is definitely the place!

So I joined this gym because of the great yelp reviews. It didn't disappoint. Very few people working out, never have to wait to use a machine, immaculately clean. Oh, and it's like you have your own parking spot.
