CrossFit^® Muse

Fantastic experience: Everyone at CrossFit Muse was so welcoming & friendly! I did a drop-in while travelling and am definitely happy with my choice to workout there. Great programming, and range and quality of equipment too!

Fantastic experience: Best decision I made back in 2018. I found my forever home. Amazing community! Rich programs the workouts with a purpose and that is to be a better version of yourself! Hayden pushes you! and leads by example! All the coaches are invested in seeing you progress. I would recommend this gym.

Fantastic experience: My partner and I started going to Muse during the pandemic and cleanliness was a top priority for us. As a newbie to CrossFit, I was a little nervous going into my first class, but the first week I was AMAZED at how each coach I met made me feel so comfortable. They took the time to teach me the movements and kept an extra eye on me during workouts. They also took some time to ask me about prior injuries so they could take that into account whenever I worked out. Even when I started marathon training, which took me away from CrossFit for a bit, some of the coaches still checked in to see how that was going and even offered to watch me run day of the marathon! Basically, if you’re coming to muse, expect to be supported by the coaches, whatever your goals are.

Fantastic experience: Can’t say enough about this gym, the coaches, and the community they’ve built at Muse. Every coach cares about your health and well-being, and they’re committed to holding you accountable to your goals and encouraging you on your health + athletic journey whether you’re a crossfit pro or a beginner. The community of athletes is full of incredibly sweet and talented people, and help bring out the best version of yourself during your workouts. If you move to LA and are looking for a Crossfit gym, you have to come check out Muse! One class, and you’ll never look back.

Fantastic experience: Dropped in and had a great workout today! People here are super nice! The space is large and scaling options are available! Love to hear the story about Taylor hahaha. Looking forward to coming back tomorrow!

Fantastic experience: Dropped in two days and had a great time! It's a big, bright, airy gym, and owner Richard keeps all the equipment in tip top shape. Programming has a good mix of strength and skill work alongside workouts. Everyone was very welcoming, and coaches were attentive and gave suggestions and encouragement without being overbearing. There's a shower if needed, and dropping in is both cheap and very easy to sign-up for. Great place!

Fantastic experience: As a guest dropping in for a single session, I felt welcomed. Both the coach and the members were friendly and helpful. The facility was clean and had all the equipment you could want.

Fantastic experience: Dropped in for a class while visiting from out of town. The instructors were all very knowledgeable, the workout was tough, and everyone was super nice and welcoming. I will definitely be coming back next time I’m in LA for work. Would absolutely recommend.

Fantastic experience: Great crossfit gym in DTLA. Clean, spacious and well maintained. Loved the vibe and friendly coach.

Fantastic experience: Stopped in during a work trip. Great atmosphere, space and equipment, and friendly environment. Will continue to come in for a great workout.

Fantastic experience: This is a wonderful gym that is well run and well coached. Highly recommend it as by far the easiest drop-in experience I’ve had.

Fantastic experience: Great gym! Well-maintained, friendly and welcoming community and awesome coaching! Will definitely drop in again when I’m back in the area. Really enjoyed the partnered WOD program.

Fantastic experience: Awesome CrossFit drop-in experience. Friendly and helpful coaches. Great size space in DTLA with all the necessities. They were also very flexible and accommodating with me when I had a last minute meeting. Thanks for the workout!

Fantastic experience: The best CrossFit gym around! Rich and the team create such a welcoming and friendly environment to work out in. Regardless of level and ability, you will be pushed and coached in order to become the best possible version of yourself! The workouts are designed in a way that you will see progress if you are consistent. Also, fun arranged activities outside of the gym are a nice way of making friends and feeling like you are part of a community. I just brought my friend along for a drop-in and she learnt more in 1 hour then she had in the past few months at another gym! I would definitely recommend CrossFit Muse to all :-).

Fantastic experience: Great gym— the coaches are knowledgable, the other members are supportive, and the workouts are tough (in a good way!). Unlike other gyms, there is actual programming. Regardless of your level, you’re able to track your progress. My only regret is not having joined sooner.

Fantastic experience: Amazing space, amazing programming, amazing community!!! I came to LA with my other half from the UK and have been attending CF Muse for the past few months and it was honestly the best decision ever. Coming from the other side of the world we wanted to go to a box where we felt safe, welcomed, could make friends and also get as fit and good at CrossFit as possible. CrossFit Muse does that and more!! Everyone at CF Muse has now become like family to us and we couldn’t thank Rich, Hayden and all the staff enough! Whatever your fitness level, whether you are elite or just a beginner. This is the place to be!

Fantastic experience: There's a great community here where coaches are invested in seeing you progress with whatever your goals may be. It's been over a year since I've joined, and I am not only getting stronger, but my times on benchmark workouts have been improving significantly. Members and coaches are very friendly, supportive, and inclusive.

Fantastic experience: I am glad to have met Richard Kittlaus, a steadfast humanitarian in a world filled with primarily contemptible people. He created by far the best CrossFit facility around. This location is mint from staff, equipment, and the facility itself. From the ownership to the management and coaches, CrossFit Muse has the friendliest and most knowledgeable staff in the business of gyms today. Experienced CrossFit coaches give hands-on instant feedback and adjustments during the workouts with just the right amount of encouragement while leading the workouts. The workouts are fun, and the fellow members are inspiring. The music is awesome, and the atmosphere is incredible. I am certainly satisfied thus far and have been blown away by my experience at this facility. I have visited many gyms, including CrossFit gyms, and CrossFit Muse just felt like the best choice from the start. This gym has created a life-changing experience for me, and I will no doubt recommend it to all my friends and family.

Fantastic experience: As a newbie to CrossFit I could not have asked for a better experience at this box. I immediately felt welcomed by the coaches, staff, and members. The coaches do a fantastic job with programming and scaling workouts. I’ve seen both beginners and more experienced athletes get stronger and faster. They know each of their members well and program specifically with our goals in mind. I am stronger, leaner, and more confident, and all I had to do was show up. Despite the COVID pandemic I continue to develop strength and endurance. I really appreciate the Zoom workouts and Slack platform where everyone can keep in touch and share pictures of pets or other random things. I can’t wait to go back, enjoy that time on the air bike or ski erg (for, like, 20 seconds), give a big hug to everyone (and I don’t even like hugs!), and get back to it.

Fantastic experience: I joined in December as an open gym member after having been a member at a bunch of different boxes and dropping in to countless others. I could say lots about the gym, but here are the things that have been remarkable: -Everyone is so friendly. I think people say this about all CrossFit gyms, but this was especially true here! -It is unreal clean. You can do 100 burpees and not find one speck of dirt in your shirt. -The atmosphere is comfortable and accepting. -Open gym members are welcome and also accepted as a part of the community, not shoved in the corner. This is one of very few gyms that allow open gym members to use the facility during classes as long as you are not impeding class, which has been great as a weightlifter just looking for a place to train.

Fantastic experience: Muse Athletics was my first experience with crossfit. Its been absolutely amazing ever since day 1. The coaching staff helped me a-lot with scaling the workouts at the beginning and I’ve been getting better and stronger thanks to the programs Coach Rich has been putting for us. Everyone at the gym is super friendly and nice. Thank you Mara and Rich for being amazing.

Fantastic experience: Absolutely outstanding gym. Rich and Mara are excellent coaches and very welcoming. As a visitor to the LA area, I couldn't have lucked out more to have found this place. Solid community, great equipment, and everything is maintained perfectly. If you live near downtown LA or are visiting the area, go here! I will be back anytime I travel here again.

Fantastic experience: Today I was extremely lucky to have found CrossFit Muse! I dropped in and I had an amazing workout, but the community there was so special. From the moment I walked in, Mara made me feel like I was family, and every member was so friendly and inviting. I wish that I lived nearby and could workout at CrossFit Muse every day. If you are in the LA area, this is the box you need to go to. I cannot day enough great things about it. Thank you so much!

Fantastic experience: I have been taking Crossfit for about 3 years now and have dropped into quite a bit of boxes. Muse is by far the cleanest gym I have ever been to. Their programming is thoughtful and has a purpose. Their coaches are attentive and make sure you are doing the movements properly. Since only being here a couple of months, I have already PR'd on a few movements even during COVID. Great gym and supportive community!

Fantastic experience: Awesome place to workout, the coach was amazing, and the community is gold! I felt welcomed the time I spent there. If you are passing by and looking for a place to workout this is it. Plus the music selection and the color blue A+++.

Fantastic experience: I emailed Mara about dropping in to get my oly lifting in while in DTLA for a conference and she immediately got back to me with a warm invite to come train. Upon arrival, I walked over to CrossFit Muse and met Rich, the co-owner, who was already made aware of my plan to drop in, and he was just awesome and incredibly welcoming. The box is fantastic, the equipment top notch, and the people were so nice. If I lived in DTLA, I would be here all the time. Thank you so much for the drop in and I'll see you next time!!

Fantastic experience: Awesome CrossFit Box near downtown LA! Just hop on a scooter and ride over for a workout if your from out of town (like me). Richard was a rest coach and very knowledgeable and the community in the class was positive and what you expect and hope for in a box! Looking forward to visiting again!

Fantastic experience: Love love love that place! This is the best gym I’ve ever been to. Coaches are great and they do care about your technique unlike most of the gyms. They can always scale your workout so it’s great for beginners! I learned so much and I’ve never seen that much progress in such a short period of time. I would highly recommend Muse to everyone. Thank you Rich and Mara :)

Fantastic experience: This GYM!!!! ABSOLUTELY LOVE this gym! I am new to CrossFit and CrossFit Muse made the transition into CrossFit very easy in terms of teaching the movements to make sure you were doing the proper technique. The coaches are well-educated and know how to motivate you to get stronger without pushing you over the edge. CrossFit Muse is a great place to train and is definitely worth the investment. Also, I must say this gym is so CLEAN! The floors and equipment are cleaned routinely and I appreciate this on a deeper level. I've been in weight rooms where the medicine balls are disgustingly dirty and my white shirts become brown, which is honestly disturbing. NEVER HAPPENED TO ME AT CROSSFIT MUSE THOUGH! The owners Mara and Rich are great people; this gym is truly a family community. It is a great place to workout and get better each day with a group of people that care about you achieving your goals. Grind never stops, except for Sundays because those are for rest days. (-:

Fantastic experience: I've been going to CF Muse for a few months now. Compared to other boxes I've been a member of over the years, this is one of the best. It's in a great location for people looking for a box downtown; it's centrally located but not so much that it's a hassle to get to during rush hour. It's also not ridicuously crowded like a lot of gyms in the area. What sets CF Muse apart for me is the intentional programming, clean facilities, and genuinely caring co-owners. Mara is very responsive and thoroughly answers any questions you may have about membership, payments, etc. Rich and all the other coaches I've worked with are knowledgeable and are great at providing individual attention during classes as needed. Everyone who works at Muse creates a fun and welcoming environment that makes it a bit easier to show up for tough workouts that involve burpees. I definitely encourage you to check it out!

Fantastic experience: I have been going to Crossfit Muse since February 2019 and am loving every second of it. I was entirely new for CrossFit and had no idea what I was doing. The coaches are caring and provide individual attention to everyone. The entire community is very supportive. Thanks, Rich and Mara for everything and creating such a great gym!!

Fantastic experience: Very clean facility and great coaching. The owners are very involved in all the right ways. The head coach/owner pays attention to detail which can transform any workout into a whole new experience. If in the downtown area I highly recommend CrossFit Muse.

Fantastic experience: Joining CrossFit Muse was the best decision I’ve made. The coaches are incredibly attentive and make sure that each workout is personalized to your strengths and weaknesses - pushing you to grow without setting you up for failure or burnout. The members here are also very friendly and the sense of community is strong with opportunities for social events at the gym and outside the gym. The facility is very nice with great equipment and the gym is dog friendly.

Fantastic experience: I’ve been doing crossfit for nearly 4 years now and because of some life and job moves I’ve been a member at a number of gyms and Crossfit Muse is an excellent model that creates a positive and motivating gym experience. The coaches here are knowledgeable, talented and caring. I recommend this gym to everyone whether you are new or seasoned to crossfit!

Fantastic experience: I started going to CrossFit Muse in 11/2018. Truly a wonderful gym and community. Coaches are knowledgeable, attentive, and passionate about their programming. I'm stronger than I have ever been. I can do pull ups now! Highly recommend for both people curious about starting Crossfit, or for super seasoned athletes.

Fantastic experience: This is one of the most impressive CrossFit facilities I've ever been to. It's large which is a rarity in LA and there's lots of street parking nearby if the spots in front of the gym are full. But the best thing is the people. Rich and Mara treat everyone like family and expend lots of effort to introduce members to one another. That comraderie is such a crucial, positive part of the CrossFit experience which makes even the toughest workouts a bit more fun.

Fantastic experience: Crossfit Muse is a fantastic space, with great programming, coaches, and members. Rich and Liz are wonderful and encouraging coaches, who always have a good sense of just how hard you should push in a given workout. The programming is logical and designed to get you stronger/fitter/faster without spending a crazy amount of hours working out. Plus all of the members are always cheering each other on, no matter what your skill or fitness level, and the physical space is really big and clean. I highly recommend checking it out, especially for Saturday partner WODs.

Fantastic experience: I am new to LA and just started working in the down town area about 3 months ago. I’ve been looking for a legit gym near my office since I started, but many of the down town gyms are either HIIT style class studios or general big box gyms that didn’t have things I wanted (bumper plates, Kettlebells, Turf, etc). Luckily I checked out Crossfit Muse and it was awesome! They let me come in and try it out before I had to commit to anything and the owners Rich and Mara are extremely welcoming! Rich (the head coach) clearly knows his stuff, is a high level lifter himself, and is passionate about coaching. The gym is HUGE, spotless, and well organized. I’d highly recommend this gym to anyone, whether your an experienced CrossFitter, a beginner just starting out, or just someone looking for a nice gym to train in.

Fantastic experience: Dropped in to a Thruster WOD today and it was a great workout -- solid programming. The warm-up focused on the demands of the workout and Rich made good coaching corrections through the entire class. CrossFit Muse has the facilities for advanced athletes and a community that welcomes scaled athletes like me. Great place to drop in.

Fantastic experience: I go to an awesome CrossFit gym in DC and have often been disappointed by other gyms that I have dropped-in to across the country. That is certainly not the case when it comes to CrossFit Muse. The coaches were incredibly friendly/personable, the facility is immaculate, and it was overall a great experience. Anyone traveling to the LA area and looking to get in a great workout should go here. Looking forward to making it back there in the future.

Fantastic experience: Muse! It’s my favourite Crossfit box to date. The space is amazing. Its big, bright and clean! High ceilings which means RX wall balls and tall rope climbs. Their equipment is superior which we all know enhances your training and workouts. They have everything. Mara is super helpful and kind. She will also smash you in deadlifts. Rich's programming is second to none. I've watched him program, and its not a quick "stick a WOD together", its planned, thought out, and everything has purpose to take his members to the next level with their fitness goals.He is extremely talented as a coach. His eye for lifting is incredible. These coaches are rare. You feel 100% safe under his coaching. Rich follows the program, as a head coach, he will complete the WOD before he coaches it. A Coach who trains hard! tick! Then something that is super important and can only be achieved when you have the right leadership and mentorship, is the members are amazing. You instantly feel part of the family. Everyone is driven and positive and kind. You can't force that. Thats the result of a happy box. Super professional, the real deal!!! Real CrossFit box! Big love! M x

Fantastic experience: Super awesome gym and group of people. This is my first experience with CrossFit and I’m sold. Rich and Mara (owners) are super welcoming and all of the coaches are really attentive. I’d never done weightlifting before and am still definitely the weakest person to ever walk in the door, so don’t be scared to try.

Fantastic experience: I have been a member of this gym since it opened. It's such a welcoming and amazing place. I have hit numbers on my PRs that I could never imagine, thanks to the amazing coaches and programming. This gym also is like a family. Everyone hangs out together outside of working out and some of my best friends are from this gym. I highly recommend this location if you are looking for a place to call a second home and also make your fitness goals into reality.

Fantastic experience: I've been coming to Muse for 5 months I believe now and still get challenged/exhausted like it's my first day. I can honestly say I've never been stronger in my life than I have gotten with Muse. The workouts are great, always different which is a big plus and the coaches are so positive. The 40 minutes workout is designed so well that you feel your body has been challenged to it's best ability. I would highly recommend this place to everyone who are trying to achieve their goals in terms of weight loss or overall fitness.

Fantastic experience: Highly recommend this gym! I travel all the time for work and drop in whenever/wherever I can - this was hands down the best experience I've had at any box. To start, the space is absolutely beautiful and massive - plenty of room for classes and open gym + you can drop weights no problem. Both the coaches and community were so welcoming from the get-go and the programming over the course of 8 days was fantastic. Since my work hours are odd, I went to some class times with only a few people and received incredible coaching...I actually found two new PR's in a span of 8 days with a few pointers and support. In sum, if you're in the DTLA area and you enjoy CF or just want a good workout/good coaching, don't miss this gym!

Fantastic experience: If you live in or near the Downtown area, this is the Crossfit box to come to. As a freshman in college coming all the way from Boston, it has been a tough transition. However, the moment I stepped into the doors of Crossfit Muse I knew I had found a new family on the West Coast. The entire staff at Crossfit Muse are all so passionate about their jobs and are always happy to be there, which makes everyone else happy and motivated. The facilities are also great and the gym is very well kept. If you can, you should absolutely drop into Crossfit Muse!

Fantastic experience: Definitely the best Crossfit gym I’ve been to around Los Angeles. Not only is the programming and coaching exceptional, but the facility, equipment, and cleanliness by far exceed any other gym I’ve been to. You can tell just by walking in the gym that the owners/coaches really care about their members and are passionate about what they do. You’ll finish your workout feeling accomplished and that you’re supported 100% in your goals.

Fantastic experience: Great new gym in Downtown! I’ve tried numerous gyms and Muse is a cut above them all! The programming is challenging but accessible, community is friendly, and the space is pristine! Most importantly, the coaches give great feedback that have helped me tremendously in just a few short weeks. Love this gym!

Fantastic experience: Such a beautiful gym with amazing coaches! Muse has everything you need from equipment, to space, to awesome programming and qualified coaches who pay attention and offer great feedback. I've tried almost every gym downtown, and they're by far the best not only if your looking to become a better Crossfitter, but also if you're simply looking to improve your fitness.

Fantastic experience: Thank you CrossFit Muse for bringing a GREAT crossfit gym to South Park! After my first visit i knew it is were i needed to be. Coaching is top-notch. Community is the best of ANY gym i have ever been apart of. Coaches, staff, and patrons all leave the ego at the door, breed healthy competition, and make for a warm environment. I live 2 blocks away and couldn't ask for anything better at my doorstep. easily the top gym in Downtown.
