The Phoenix Effect

Fantastic experience: Best gym experience! The coaches meet you where you're at and push you in a way that makes you feel comfortable and strong. Easy check-in process. Every class is different and keeps you on your toes.

Fantastic experience: AMAZING coaches!!! I found TPE because I was looking for a gym that focused on weightlifting but is not necessarily crossfit. I had reached out initially because I saw a social post for their Empowered program, which led me to have a great video call with one of their coaches, Rachel, where I learned more about the gym, class structures, and additional offerings. The team truly feels like a community, and I've already met so many people after taking only 6 classes. I am so excited to grow here!

Fantastic experience: Great atmosphere! The teachers are super friendly and helpful, the workouts are serious but fun, which gets you to work hard but enjoy doing it

Fantastic experience: I absolutely love the Phoenix Effect. They made me feel so incredibly welcomed and have taught me so much about lifting in the short time I have been here! If you’re looking for a very accepting gym of all abilities then you need to check out this place!

Fantastic experience: I drive all the way from the valley to Hollywood everyday because the community at The Phoenix Effect is super inspiring and amazing. The support and good energy here is abundant. At first I was intimidated considering it was my first time joining a gym with group workout classes but that totally went out the door as soon as I stepped in. All of the fitness coaches are extremely knowledgeable, approachable and want to see you succeed. Everyone that works out here is super friendly and becomes like your family. You will love everyone here. I’d recommend anyone at ANY fitness level to come to the Phoenix Effect, it’s more than worth it. The workouts are definitely effective and the coaches put a lot of thought and strategy into them. If you are consistent you’ll certainly see results in no time. The Phoenix Effect is definitely where it’s at!

Fantastic experience: First workout today! Jefferson kicked my butt but loved it. Highly recommend to anyone. High energy, good vibes and a fun community. Will be back for more when in town for work.

Fantastic experience: The best gym in LA!! I’ve been training there for 4 years, and it’s been nothing but a joy. All the trainers and staff are positive and extremely knowledgeable. The energy is always up, and I feel welcome every time I’m there.

Fantastic experience: Like seemingly everyone else on the planet, I’m in the constant pursuit of finding a way to “become my best self”. In finding the incredible community at Phoenix Effect, I’m not only physically accomplishing that in so many ways I hadn’t even considered possible for myself; but I’ve also learned that so much of that self-value is emotional, mental and very much all connected. The coaches lift you up from the inside out - focusing on encouragement that has made me feel nearly unstoppable when I step to any barbell or other physical challenge. I’ve long loathed LA gym culture - begrudgingly going because I was chasing a calorie deficit - and now, I go to the gym to better my whole body (mind and soul included!) and have a the best time with a whole community of people I adore. Plus, I’m in the best shape I’ve ever been in. Who doesn’t love that!?

Fantastic experience: I love Phoenix! The instructors are really great and emphasize on great technique/form. I love the community of people that come to TPE ♥️

Fantastic experience: Such a great work out, the best coaches and everyone in the classes are so nice nice and supportive. Absolutely love it - and I’ve tried many places.

Fantastic experience: This is my happy place. I've been coming here five times a week for almost eight years. Simply put–it works! I lost 40 pounds in my first year and have kept the weight off while putting on muscle mass and being in the best shape of my life. Not only is the programming top notch but all the coaches know their stuff and can regress any exercise if you have any injuries or mobility issues. They instill a culture of encouragement and celebration of your wins and that permeates across the athletes. When you get a personal record, you get to ring the cowbell and everyone in class cheers for you. You don't have to be a fitness expert, that's their job. All you got to do is show up.

Fantastic experience: I started out quite nervous about a gym like this - but you have nothing to fear, its AMAZING. I am loosing weight, getting stronger and the people are super cool. I love it. You will too!

Fantastic experience: The best gym to keep you motivated and inspired to work out. All of the trainers provide support and guidance to make sure you don’t injure yourself. Also every class ends basically in a dance party… so what’s not to like?

Fantastic experience: I became a member back in 2020. I had severe gym intimidation and huge lack of knowledge when it came to properly working out. Normally fitness classes don't really do it for me since, but Phoenix Effect totally blew my mind. The coaching staff is incredible, the 6-week cycles of programming provide you a full workout, and truly anyone of any body type is welcome here. Furthermore, the community of members are the most supportive. Not only will you see progress, but you'll be part of a great community.

Fantastic experience: Love The Phoenix Effect! I have been going there for many years. Love the different workouts, the vibe and that the instuctors always pay attention to the posture and correct me when I am doing sth wrong.

Fantastic experience: Best workout in LA and the coaches are all phenomenal.

Fantastic experience: I've taken several classes so far and am loving my experience. The trainers know their stuff and really care for their clients. A lot of boutique gyms in LA advertise a sense of community or that every member matters and then fall well short of the mark. Phoenix is NOT that gym. Every trainer gets to know you, your needs, and your journey. They know how to alter your approach to each class so that you're working towards your personal goals. Plus, they actively fight against toxic gym culture. The atmosphere is always supportive and safe.

Fantastic experience: Great energy at Phoenix! One of the friendliest fitness studios I've been to in LA. If you are looking for a place to take classes, but are freaked out by the weirdness and clique-y nature of some of the studios around town, this is the place for you! Great workout, supportive instructors, small enough to get personal attention when you need it, and chill enough that you don't feel dogged by the attention. 10/10 - Good people/Not a cult! :D

Fantastic experience: I'm loving my experience here. The coaches are attentive and know their stuff. The programming is the real deal and great for me. All the intensity of xfit with none of the over-repetitive motions or injury producing competitiveness! Go here.

Fantastic experience: High energy classes in a welcoming community makes this an enjoyable workout. The teachers give personalized attention to help new students with their form during the weightlifting exercises.

Fantastic experience: Positive: Communication , Professionalism , Quality I love this gym. They know what they are doing, and they make working out fun. They are also clean and intentional with respect to Covid. They aren’t fitness snobs like so many of the other gyms nearby — great people, great space, friendly, and they know what they are doing. Wish I had know about this gym sooner.

Fantastic experience: Extremely knowledgeable staff and very nice with great music! Everyone there is also very nice. Unique workout structure that is awesome. Had to learn most the Olympic lifts but they coach you well so you do.

Fantastic experience: Really amazing gym! I couldn't be happier with the coaches and support I got when I was training there. After almost every session, I got a really nice email checking in on me and and my progress. I took advantage of the nutrition coaching with Rachel and mostly attended the Lift sessions. Overall, the coaches are great, really enthusiastic, tons of energy and really have your best interest and fitness goals in mind. While the space isn't huge, they honestly make the best use of it. They have all kinds of equipment that includes assault bikes, rower machines, bands, boxes, pull up bars and all kinds of other things. It's definitely NOT CrossFit but it's a nice mix of bootcamp and CrossFit exercises with a much more personal spin to it. Overall, great gym, great coaches and great clientele. Everyone there is awesome and even if I wasn't looking forward to waking up at 5:15 am to make it to the 6:00 am class, I enjoyed seeing friendly faces who encouraged me to do my best with every workout. I didn't need to be better than the other folks there, I just needed to be better than I was the day before.

Fantastic experience: TPE has been so amazing! I started doing it a few months ago with a goal of leaning out. Since I started going 3x's a week, I've lost 5 lbs and 2% body fat. The coaches are all so friendly and encouraging and I love how strong I feel!

Fantastic experience: 5 stars for sureeeeee So happy I found this gym I had to spend 1 week in LA for work and I bought their 5days pass Coaches are awesome! Great workout and vibe. They made my trip to LA way more exciting and sweaty ❤️

Fantastic experience: Love this gym - Everyone here is super motivating and encouraging. The trainers are very interactive and are always ready to help. Come ready to sweat!

Fantastic experience: I watched classes as i walked by through the window for months, knowing i liked the teachers and the firmat, and especially the energy. Finally signing up for a weeks worth of classes, it's everything i expected and more! I see changes in my strength , body and the way my clothes fit. I will be signing up for regular classes tonight! Highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: The Phoenix effect has been one of the best decisions of my life. Seriously life changing!!! The coaches are so supportive and really take their time to teach. Not once have I felt out of place or judged, because both the members and coaches are super warm and welcoming. Don’t worry it is as fun as it is challenging. I have seen a huge difference in myself and I can’t wait to continue to grow. I got my friends to try it and now they are all obsessed. Do yourself a favor and CHECK IT OUT! You will not regret it!! Shout out to my Love JEFFERSON who I miss when I’m not in class. He is so amazing and he is dedicated to changing his clients life. I love him and all the wonderful coaches at the TPE. Best Gym family out there !!!!!!!! PS. I miss you right now Jeff!!!

Fantastic experience: I have never felt more supported or encouraged while working out. The whole staff is very knowledgeable. The people who work out there are very supportive as well. I felt like I knew half the people before I even started. This place brought fun back into my workouts. When I leave I want to return for more.

Fantastic experience: TPE is an awesome gym with great classes and super motivating trainers. Give it a try!! It's addicting - I haven't felt this good in my body in a long time!

Fantastic experience: Honestly, I've tried almost every work out out there including Barry's and Orange Theory and have worked out with personal trainers, this has been my ffavoritea.The routines are challenging and what sets it apart from other group classes is that they continously check your form no matter who big the class may be. Highly recommend it.

Fantastic experience: This place is awesome. A lot of studios like this don't do much except bark out orders and let you sink or swim. Seems like they take a different approach here, and if you're not doing something that looks correct, the instructor is ready to jump in and get you on track. Class sizes are always just right and things are generally very clean and organized. Very good spot and highly recommended.

Fantastic experience: Love everything about PE! The coaches are amazing, I'm pushed to do my best, I learn something new every time I go, my technique has improved, and the music is legit! It's the best way to start my day. Classes are for all levels and you can make it as challenging as you want. The coaches are extremely hands on. It's like having a personal trainer but more fun. I give PE 10/10.

Fantastic experience: The Phoenix Effect has totally changed my fitness game and fitness understanding. Having been a longtime Equinox guy who didn’t love group-based fitness, I have to admit I was skeptical at first. About two minutes into my first class with Jefferson, my skepticism quickly went away and I knew this was the real deal. What makes TPE so much better than other gyms is that not only is each training session programmed to target an array of muscle groups to help make you stronger, each class also feels like a personal training session with a coach you can also call a friend. Each coach is focused on helping me to have correct form, not over or under lift my weight and to help me become the best athlete I can be. There are times we are doing pretty complex lifts and I take comfort in knowing that I’ll be successful thanks to the coach by my side. I have to give a special shoutout to Jefferson who is the reason I signed up in the first place. He’s helped me realize my fitness goals and I’m stronger and happier because of it. Plus, he makes TPE a lot of fun.

Fantastic experience: Joined the Phoenix Effect a few months ago, and I'm LOVING it! Such a fun, supportive, and motivating community. The trainers are awesome, and the classes are always super unique and different. The owners Beth and Kristin make you feel welcome and appreciated right away. It's so rare to find a gym that has badass ladies in every class - but I've found it! They offer great class times after work and on the weekends, with cool challenges each month. They also have meetups outside of the gym - like brunch at the Abbey. If you're looking for a fun gym to meet awesome people and get in better shape - come to TPE!

Fantastic experience: Never worked out before in my 45 years life till I met an owner Beth. I'm taking their classes and it is awesome. Caitlin is one of the stuff of Phoenix Effect and she is super accommodating, knowledgeable, helpful and pay attention what you are doing...Love, Love it!!!!

Fantastic experience: I have been working out at boutique fitness gyms in Los Angeles longer than I would like to admit, and The Phoenix effect gets my top marks (and longevity as a client). The coaches at TPE are not only motivating(and usually cute), but knowledgeable about all the movements we are doing, as well as mobility, and other related and important info that classes at other gyms don’t go into. The classes are designed specifically to work on set goals, body parts, and movement types; not just a haphazard free for all of HIIT. The variety of lifting vs conditioning classes is the perfect mix to not get bored and to work your body in different ways that are effective. Oh, and the challenges are everything. Every few months, TPE runs an extracurricular challenge. On the last one, I lost 12 pounds and couldn’t be happier. If your are looking for a gym that treats your body, mind, and spirit in the right way, this place is for you.

Fantastic experience: The Phoenix Effect is a challenging and fun workout! Rachel taught an energetic class that incorporated both cardio and strength training, not to mention a fire playlist! I love having a circuit based class so that you are constantly mixing it up and working different muscle groups; all exercises can be modified too for different levels of experience. Overall a great gym with a lot to offer!

Fantastic experience: I had a great experience at Phoneix Effect. The class was engaging & well taught. I felt the instructor truly was focused in on technique & making the class enjoyable. Thanks, cheers!

Fantastic experience: I discovered Phoenix Effect through Class Pass & then did their 21-day jumpstart program. I’m totally obsessed with this place! I love the one-on-one coaching you get throughout the class from the dedicated coaches. Coach Charina is my personal favorite but they’re all amazing. I’ve had some areas on my body that I’ve never been able to change & I finally feel like I have a fighting chance to make that happen with the classes here. I was totally anxious about lifting weights/intense body conditioning but Charina & others have been awesome to qualm that fear & already I’m feeling stronger and looking better after 3 weeks. One of the other coaches, Rachel, even took the time to help me when she happened to be taking classes at the same time as me. The environment is so positive and supportive- I can not recommend it enough!

Fantastic experience: Phoenix Effect is a great place to train and not feel intimidated. The trainers are very professional and willing to give individual attention. The classes are motivational, challenging and fun or as fun as working out can be !!

Fantastic experience: I usually stray from the group fitness experience, but Phoenix Effect has a way of reviving the team spirit in me I never knew I had. There's something about the humility of the instructors and the (sometimes) cute music they play. They know their form and know how to correct others. So far, their classes have been unmatched in my long journey of group fitness.

Fantastic experience: This is a fantastic place for a great work out! Coaches are engaging and encouraging. There are classes at various levels. I always feel great after each class!

Fantastic experience: So much fun! Exciting and challenging work outs run by skilled and friendly coaches!! I took one class and then signed up for a year membership. I love it!!

Fantastic experience: I love going to the Phoenix Effect! I always feel invigorated and refreshed after a workout, and really appreciate the individual attention given by the instructors. If you're looking to build or just have a great workout, I recommend PHX EFFECT!

Fantastic experience: I’ve never done any real weightlifting of any kind, and Phoenix Effect has got me hooked. The coaches have shown me that I’m capable of doing types of workouts that I didn’t think I could do. Phoenix Effect coaches are attentive to make sure that you’re doing workouts in proper form to prevent injury - something I was always worried about when lifting. But they also motivate you to try each workout in some fashion - they’re eager to help adapt to your level and strength. It’s great for beginners and advanced!

Fantastic experience: I LOVE this place. I do go to other studios in LA, but I always comeback to Phoenix Effect. I love the trainers, and the programs are intense and challenging, and its always a good group of people attending too. They push you in an uplifting and positive way that's perfect. I highly recommend Phoenix Effect.

Fantastic experience: I really like this place. The coaches are great--super high-energy, but also they notice and care about your form. They know what they're doing, and they want to make sure you're not doing something bad to your body. They're also great about offering modifications for moves that might be too challenging. I leave each class tired and elated, proud that I did something I didn't know I could do before.

Fantastic experience: This gym has great classes that are geared to work every aspect of your fitness. It's a fun environment with motivating instructors who know their stuff and efficiently explain how to get the most out of your workout.

Fantastic experience: I have tried so many gyms in Los Angeles. Many of them are great, but none have been as welcoming as The Phoenix Effect. The instructors are motivating while also being kind, the other gym-goers are helpful and friendly, and the community is strong without being too much. Also, it is a tough workout! An amazing place!
