Fantastic experience: This is my third gym in the past two years and this is the least crowded one in the South Bay Area! Love that it’s never too crowded. The only thing is I wish they had an assisted pull up machine and more hip thrust machine options. Otherwise, good gym.

Negative experience: I was upset how the gym treats there customers cause I was late on the payment. The staff ask me to leave even tho I was there for a long time membership no respect and essentially didn’t care how they treat there customers don’t go to this gym they treat there customer’s lie garbage.
Hey Eddie,We understand that people can go through tough times and so we try to be understanding and work with members on late payments when those things arise. It is why we we made exceptions and attempted to work with you multiple times over the last year when your account was past due for multiple months at a time on multiple occasions. However, at some point we do have to enforce our policies, and after the last incident, we notified you that any further issues with payment would result in a suspension or termination of membership due to non payment. That is unfortunately where this ended up. We wish you the best of luck in your health and fitness journey.
Negative experience: In response to Tony: I see that Tony has responded to my review trying to rebuttal what I'm saying. Mya never gave me a 5 day window to cancel, neither did she mention there was a 5 day window to cancel. The only time she mentioned it was when I went in the second time into the office asking to cancel. Since I already paid $109 for the month, why would I not be entitled to use the facility even after requesting a cancellation until my membership was actually cancelled? And as I said in the text "I'm going to keep my membership until further notice." I have the text messages. And the transcripts you mentioned, I'm curious to know what they are. Instead of being prideful, help members at your gym feel more comfortable instead of making them feel like they signed some contract at a car dealership. ——————————————- 1st review: DO NOT SIGN UP TO THIS GYM! It is NOT worth it! Maya had signed me up for a 6 month membership, and was extremely rude to me. She called me with the worst attitude, complaining how she wanted to go home on time if I wasn’t going to go in and sign up. I completely regret signing up for the 6 month membership, especially with Maya who would not allow me to cancel. She was pushing towards a freeze to my membership, instead of letting me cancel even though I called literally the next day, and texted their business phone number. They were ignoring my calls after I had texted asking for a cancellation, when they finally answered after I called with a blocked number. They would not let me speak with a supervisor, and stated that no superior works on site. WHO RUNS THIS PLACE? They told me to send an email to their accountant if I wanted to cancel, so I did, and waited 3 days with no so response. What is this, a scam?? I figured since they already charged me $109 for the month, I would use the facility until they respond. I let them know that I was going to use the facility until further notice. Even now again, that I am trying to cancel, they’re still giving me a hard time, and yet STILL NO MANAGER ON SITE? This contract has been like a ball & chain. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND NOT SIGNING UP, And save your money for another gym.
Hey Kimberly,I am sorry you feel this way. Especially since everything you said is unfortunately untrue. We would have been MORE than happy to assist you in cancelling within that 5 day window after signing up. However, when you did inquire about cancelling you were given an option of freezing as well and at that point your exact words were “I will keep my membership.” It’s important to know we have transcripts of EVERYTHING. Because of that we looked at every point of communication you had with Mya since you said she was rude and unhelpful. At no point was this the case, and based on everything we have she was exactly what we pride ourselves on which is extremely professional and trying to help.You then proceeded to check in and use the club 10 times between the 17th and the 30th after saying you were going to keep your membership. So for our team, everything was good. Again, we would have been more than happy to assist, but we were fully under the impression, per your exact words, that you were staying.Then for some reason you said you were always trying to cancel and wrote this review. Odd, but to each their own.
Fantastic experience: Was my gym for 6 months after moving to area and have nothing but positive things to say about my experience. One of the best value for money in gyms in South Bay, great community, state of the art equipment, and fantastic staff. Unfortunately, moving resulted in me ending my membership due to commute but would recommend to anyone in the South Bay Area
Thanks so much for this Charlie!
Fantastic experience: I was visiting out of town and the front staff were so hospitable. Was unfortunate I wasn’t able to utilize the sauna or cold plunge since they were about to close. Nonetheless, gym was very clean.
Glad to be able to provide you an amazing experience while you were here!
Fantastic experience: I was so happy to find quality and effective bodywork therapy services at Afterburn. Lauren is a great, skilled practitioner. She was able to promote thorough and much needed lower leg circulation for me. Couldn't tell me I wasn't walking on clouds on my way out of there. Also, the gym is beautiful and spacious. Be back soon!
Thanks Jessica!
Fantastic experience: The cold plunge got me very interested initially but once I started using the sauna, sleds, attending their classes, and making Afterburn Fitness part of my routine I really fell in love with this gym and the staff and members as well. Plenty of space to do everything you can imagine and more and introduce yourself to some unique equipment that this gym offers. I've made some friends in a short period of time here and I am bummed I have to move away. Open up a location in San Diego and I'll def be the first member to join. Thank you Afterburn Fitness (Manhattan Beach) for putting together a great environment to work out!!! Highly recommend
Thanks so much for the 5 star review Stuart! We appreciate you
Fantastic experience: Best group classes!

Vibes are key =) Thanks a ton
Fantastic experience: Classes are amazing! Everyone is very friendly staff and members. KJ is an amazing personal trainer. They also have massage therapist on site. my husband got a massage from, Travis and was very impressed with how much better his back afterwards
Thanks so much for the 5 star review! We appreciate you
Fantastic experience: Absolutely love my experience at this gym! My wife and I have been working out here for a little over a year and it’s the classes and more importantly the trainers that keep us coming back week after week. They’re encouraging and always push you to give a little more. The equipment is new and organized and I see us here for the long haul.
Thanks so much for the 5 star review! We appreciate you
Fantastic experience: This place is amazing
Thanks so much John!
Negative experience: UPDATE: Shocker, I unsubscribed yet again and just got another email from them. This place is an absolute joke. ORIGINAL: I've been unsubscribing from their email lists since 2019 and yet I still keep getting spam. I do not live in California anymore and have not in years. Even if I did, I would never join this gym again. One of the trainers stole my coat on a night out with mutual friends and I never got it back. Another made us download their partner's startup app in order to get class info. On top of that, the owner sent out a Facebook rant video when Covid first hit bashing mask mandates and saying they wouldn't follow guidelines. I literally want nothing to do with this place but they pop up every so often to remind me of how terrible they are.
Negative experience: I modified an exercise in one of their group fitness classes and the instructor turned the music down to call me out in front of the entire class for modifying the exercise to meet my personal fitness goals. It was embarrassing and left a horrible taste in my mouth, especially given I was a member for 2+ years.
Hey Nate, We apologize for your experience. That is not the type of environment we look to create. Thank you for the feedback and we will make sure something like this does not happen again.
Fantastic experience: Absolutely my favorite gym. As someone who has been to a lot of different gyms, this is the best. The classes are amazing, cold plunge(cleaned daily), new sauna, smoothie bar, therabody compression leg sleeves, and massage therapists. It has everything.
We tend to agree =)
Positive experience: Great MeltSB classes
We love Melt too!
Fantastic experience: My all time best! Whether you are looking to get back into shape, maintain, get pushed to a new level, or train for an event, you'll be able to tap into a plethora of resources.
We wont turn down a GOAT call =)
Fantastic experience: They are super responsive whenever any questions come up. The machines are always clean and updated. They also have really unique pieces of equipment that most gyms don't have. Highly recommended!!
Thanks so much for the 5 star review! We appreciate you
Fantastic experience: Absolutely the best in class gym in the South Bay area. There are so many things that I love and appreciate about this gym... so here are a few that influenced me becoming a member of this gym. - COMMUNITY - this isn't your regular gym where you walk in and out without the staff acknowledging you. The front desk & the trainers make you feel like an old friend. They even go as far as creating events outside the gym to get to know your fellow work out buddies better - CLASSES - there are a wide variety of classes all throughout the day and the they are not too crowded so you're able to get pointers throughout the class to make sure you keep your body safe. Absolutely love the trainers and their dedication to your success... even if it's just for an hour. Keep in mind, you can also just go to the gym and do your own thing. For where I'm at in life, the classes work best for me. - CLEAN - sooooo clean, the equipment never feels like it had that sweaty build up from hundred of folks before you
Thanks Nancy!
Fantastic experience: I always feel comfortable in every class and am encouraged to go at my own level by coaches and members alike. Great gym!!
Fantastic experience: Excellent gym. Worth the money. Seeing results.
Hey ChristopherThank you for the review and love to hear you’re seeing results!! See you soon!
Negative experience: Simply been trying to cancel my membership for 4 months now with little to no response. I gave them a heads up that I would start leaving negative reviews until my membership was cancelled. This did not seem to bother them enough to respond. In the process I found out they were double charging me for a year. So basically I've lost close to $1000 to these folks and can't get a response. Overall unprofessional.
Positive experience: I'm glad this gym existed at least! I was looking for the typical gym with free weights and machines. The area for free weights and machines was so small in this gym that it came up short and without many things that are normal to have for gyms. Instead it has many other types of workout stuff for people doing classes and boxing bags etcetera that are not usable for a normal person who does not know what exercises to do with this equipment
Hello RebeccaThank you for the feedback and bummed it did not work out for you. Thanks for giving us a shot and wish you all the best!
Fantastic experience: My son and I were visiting the area from New York and we found this gym on a Google search of 'Gym's in the area of Manhattan Beach.' These folks were great and the gym had awesome equipment. The staff is super-friendly, and both my son and I were able to go for three free days, even-though we were from out of the area. I would definitely recommend this gym for others.
Thanks Rueben!!!! Maybe well see you someday in NY =)
Fantastic experience: The equipment is top level and clean. There is an array of equipment to use whether you want to lift (free weights or machines), kick-box or box, take classes, or just do body weight workouts. The staff is very friendly, helpful, and professional! There’s a lot of parking and the lot is very clean. As a health and fitness professional I highly recommend the gym and all it has to offer!
Thank you Jamie! We really appreciate that and hope to see you soon!
Fantastic experience: Great gym! The place is always very clean, staff is friendly and the classes are awesome.
Thank you John!! Really appreciate that!
Fantastic experience: The best gym in the South Bay if you like classes. The classes are effective and the schedule offers enough times that I'm able to get a workout in when I can. There's also enough variety with a choice of classes without being overwhelming there's different types of weight training, hiit, spin and mma classes. The atmosphere is great. It's high energy with music playing most of the time, high ceilings so it doesnt feel crowded and community is great too, I go to 6am classes and everyone is friendly and the trainers are very helpful. My one gripe is on the weekends they close early, so there no opportunity for night time workouts on the weekends.

Thank you Natalia! Really appreciate you taking the time to write this and very happy to hear how much you enjoy your time here!
Fantastic experience: In my opinion it is a perfectly build, equipped and organized gym. Keep in mind it's not suitable for Olympic lifting, you should not drop weights. Very nice staff.

Fantastic experience: Came to LA to visit family for the week. They workout religiously at Afterburn Fitness and we decided to join them (everyday :-)) The people at the front desk were pleasant and easy to work with, the classes were great and the trainers were amazing during the classes. They really keep an eye on everyone and make corrections and keep motivating you throughout the hour. Loved Blake Trippy's CrossTrain class. Thank You Afterburn for a great week! See you when we get back to LA!
Thank you for the review Lynn and glad you were able to join us while in LA! Absolutely look forward to having you again. Maybe sometime soon?? Seeing as we're just a bit late to the party getting back to you Hope to see you again!
