One of the best gyms in the area! The trainers are all super knowledgeable and friendly. I love the women’s boxing class—it’s great for all levels. The Tuesday 5:15 boot camp is another favorite. Spencer and Greg are amazing! It’s definitely a challenging class, but they’re both really supportive and make it fun.

Very welcoming environment and easy to understand class set up. I've taken classes with Greg and Josue so far and really enjoyed them. I was curious about trying boxing and I'm glad I found this place in the neighborhood. Highly recommend.

There is no other place in NELA like LAKO. Don’t let the fact that it’s a boxing gym intimidate you. Everyone there from front desk, to trainers, to the other members are not only friendly and welcoming, but they make you feel strong and empowered every time you walk through the doors. And you leave feeling even better. The classes are suitable for people of all skill levels and you have your choice of boxing, kickboxing, bootcamp and sparring. The trainers are top notch (shout out to Justin!). If you’re looking to get in a workout between classes, they have cardio equipment and weights. There’s a recovery room for cupping, compression sleeves and IV drips, etc. Rates are competitive, bathrooms are always nice and clean, music always bumping and if you’re lucky you’ll get to meet Koko the mascot :)

STOP scrolling through reviews of boxing gyms as you have found THE SPOT. LAKO is everything you have been looking for. I was like you once, desperate to get in shape, reading reviews of local gyms ad nauseam. I am so glad I trusted my gut and gave LAKO a try. It has truly made my life better in so many ways.

Once upon a time I was in great shape, very active. Then I became middle aged, had kids, started a demanding career, survived a pandemic. I was out of shape and unmotivated. But then about 8 months ago I found LAKO and all of that changed. From my first introductory class, I was hooked. Now I love going to the gym (seriously) and am getting in great shape, and that feels really good. Honestly, I can't imagine working out any place else. Still not convinced? Let me tell you why LAKO is the BEST:

1) The people who work at this gym are incredible. From the friendly front desk staff (shout out to Chris, Araceli, and Charlie) to the coaches who run the classes (shout out to Jon, Justin, Keith, Cheyenne, and Greg) to the coaches who offer exceptional personal training sessions (shout out to Chalton and Jon) - these folks are all top-notch professionals. They push you hard but in a supportive I-want-you-to-kick-ass kind of way. And they work with your level and ability and never judge you or have attitude. Also, the gym itself is always spotless and they pay attention to small details like placing fresh seasonal flowers in the bathroom and selling really cool swag.

2) The workout is amazing. I can't imagine a better way to get in shape than to hit a bag. I had never boxed prior to my first class, and let me tell you I LOVE IT. I get out my stress and I work up a major sweat. And they have all kinds of great classes from straight boxing to HIIT to boot camps. There is something for everyone.

3) The LAKO community = family. With so much wrong in the world, it is so nice to walk into a safe space where you are greeted with smiles and fist bumps and genuine care for your wellbeing. The community at LAKO is full of a diverse mix of truly exceptional people who just want to be supportive, encouraging, and to hit some shit together. And the vibe is fun and silly and supportive. I never leave LAKO in a bad mood.

4) The gym cares. I salute the Owner, Yuichi, for encouraging the gym to support the local community and important causes. Since joining, I have donated blood at their blood drive, helped raise money for the local animal shelter, and now they are collecting donations to support those impacted by the wildfires. The LAKO community has heart and gives back, and that goes a long way in my book.

I could go on and on but I am certain I have convinced you, random Google Review scroller, that LAKO is your SPOT. If you're looking for a gym, a community, you must give LAKO a chance. It will make your life better in so many ways (as it did for me!). Hope to see you in class!

Deserves more than 5 stars. I would disregard the negative reviews below because half of them are fake accounts while the other half are paid/volunteered people who are trying to discourage newer clients from joining. The prices are way better than most of the other boxing gyms in LA by a landslide

These guys really know what they're doing here. A focused environment but not too crazy at the same time. The owner seems to do a good job in balancing the place out. There are a couple of negative reviews written down below. One thing I can say is, fully comprehend the gym policy before committing to a membership. Don't try to 'cancel' a good business by recruiting your friends to write reviews and to press the thumbs up button just because of your carelessness.

Perfect place to learn the ropes and hit the cardio. Personal trainers are top notch and always open to help out. Classes are fun and each instructor has his/her own style so each class has something unique to offer. Sparring and private training is also available. Between kickboxing, boxing, boot camps, sparring and weight training, you will definitely find something for you at LA KO!!

Thankful I got to meet some great trainers here and get some great workouts. However, there's not much consistency from class to class or trainer to trainer. I didn't feel there was a strong community of people training or the trainers. That's important to me to feel welcome, motivated and safe especially as a woman.

Lots of nice people but sadly too many changing faces. Personal training is personal and it's demotivating to suddenly have a relationship end either for a class or a training session. Over 7 months I saw trainers come and go every few weeks. I also saw more new faces than regulars going to the classes.

There are lots of class times and types so if you just need a get-in-get-out 60-minute cardio session or boxing gym for solo training it works.

Nice gym, but impossible to cancel service. Update: The gym, trainers, price are great. Still not a fan of their complicated cancellation process post contract but they did eventually do right by me.

Such an awful experience, I too tried canceling but Ian the owner couldn't seem to comprehend that this was not going to work for my husbands schedule and with repeated phone conversations he just kept talking around it. This entire situation with him as an owner of a business is disgusting. I work in business myself and to see this type of service from a small business is appalling. Do not get a membership at this gym.

Do not come here!!!!! I echo Kym Allens post the same exact situation happened to me. #1 impossible to cancel membership. #2 boxing equipment is not working 90% of the time (they buy cheap speedbags n double end bags so they are always broken. Btw I expressed this to the owner Ian and he said i was insulting his business, Not an insult Ian just stating facts and if it hurts u fix it). #3 management sucks (Obviously), all they care about is how they can take more money from you. So if u like to get scammed, come here. The only person who knows what they are talking about and can learn from is justin and I'm surprised he hasn't left because it seems like all the personal trainers leave after a couple of months. You money is better somewhere else.

I echo someone's earlier review that it is impossible to cancel service here. I just got off of the phone with the manager who thought it was okay to hang up the phone on me in the middle of a conversation. He claimed that I wouldn't stop yelling, when I had to raise my voice over the two men on the line who wouldn't let me finish a thought. I had had a pleasant experience here up until this point, but a misunderstanding turned ugly very quick. Says a lot about them. I'm also being forced into paying for a month of service that I didn't even use. Most professional establishments work with their long time clients, especially when there was a clear misunderstanding about freezing vs. canceling. Luckily I've found other places with a lot more class to train.
