Wes is awesome, not only as a 1:1 instructor but also as a group coach. Group class today was great, he made you feel like he was looking out for you on each exercise, while still maintaining great connection and enthusiasm with the entire class as a whole.

I always know I’m in for a good workout with Coach Lily! She fully demonstrates each portion of the workout to ensure that everyone feels confident with each movement/can modify as needed. Coach Lily is engaged throughout the workout, encouraging everyone to give their all and to work through every second. Coach Lily also gives feedback throughout the workout on form and proper technique to guarantee you are working the right muscles. I highly recommend! :)

All of the coaches are great, but Wes trained me in my one-on-ones, and he’s fantastic at breaking down each movement and explaining them. CrossFit can feel intimidating, but Wes takes that fear away and guides you through the correct form. I highly recommend him!
The gym is also super clean, which is a huge plus for me. They ensure everyone wipes down their equipment after each use—something I really appreciate as someone who’s particular about cleanliness!

Great class today. Well balanced between strength and cardio. I feel like I got a full body workout and didn't leave anything on the table. Coach Erwin is excellent at both identifying and helping me correct posture and form while working out. That's one of my favorite things about working out at Nela. Thanks Coach!!!

Training with Paul at Nela has been transformative for me. I came in with a number of health problems I needed to address, along with just getting stronger and in better shape. Paul and the Nela team started with the foundation of my system, understanding the source of my issues and created a plan to get my body back to healthy functioning. I look and feel much better after just a few weeks, and can already see the results. Highly recommend this gym and this team to anyone on the east side!

I’m incredibly grateful to the entire NELA team for guiding me on a transformative health and fitness journey. When I first walked through the doors, I was feeling lost and unhappy with my physical condition. Thanks to the expertise and encouragement of the NELA coaches, I’ve made significant strides and gained invaluable knowledge over the last 4 year.
What truly sets NELA apart is the ability of their staff to combine exceptional skills with a genuine, supportive attitude. They've empowered me with the tools and understanding to continue my fitness journey with a home gym I decided to invest in. However, I'll always cherish the positive impact NELA has had on my life. I'm excited to see what the future holds, and I'm so thankful for NELA's role in setting me on this path.

The Nela Athletics staff is super. They worked with my twin 13-year old sons, encouraging and nurturing them at every session. If my boys could not perform the specific tasks of the day, the staff created alternative workouts tailored to their capabilities. My boys always felt supported and respected. One of my sons dropped because his school tennis schedule ramped up, but time permitting he will absolutely re-enroll.
Thank you Nela Athletics!

Cross fit can be super intimidating but this gym is so welcoming that I found myself addicted to going since the vibes were always fun and it was easy to both feel like you could make a lot of individual progress and also make it approachable for whatever level you’re at. will miss you all but will be back - jaime

I’ve been coming here for 3 years and love it. I started up knowing I was going to have hip surgery with the goal of getting myself in the best possible place for recovery. And I have been doing a combination of personal training and classes since the surgery. Paul and his team are wonderful and extremely thoughtful. What I like about this gym is that it isn’t full of intimidating, “crossfit looking” people; there are certainly great athletes but also a whole range of folks looking to get better. Lots of regular clients and with that a wonderful community.

This review is way overdue! Nela Athletics has been the best gym experience that I've had and I was so sad to leave. My husband and I signed up late last summer and were hooked right away. It isn't just a gym experience; it is a full community of awesome and supportive coaches and fellow gym members. We sadly had to leave due to a cross-country move. I'm confident that we would have stayed members for a long time if it wasn't for having to leave LA! Every coach at Nela Fitness is unique and has their own style of teaching classes. At the same time, they are all so welcoming, patient, attentive, and motivating in their own ways. You can truly feel how much they care about every member. The classes were always fun, energetic, intense, and challenging! Every CrossFit stereotype that I had in my head was completely obliterated through my experience. The other awesome thing about the gym was having the option of the Ignite classes, which were the ones that we participated in the most. They were a great blend of HIIT, strength, and cardio, which was exactly what I was looking for. I'd also like to add that the coaches were so gracious in working with us in regards to our memberships that had to end sooner than expected because of our move. We were so grateful. We miss Nela Athletics and hope we can return one day in the future!

I travel a lot for work so I end up dropping in at a lot of boxes. I spent three weeks here and it was one of the most refreshing CrossFit experiences I’ve had in a long time. At my home gym I coach (cf-l1) so I’ve gotten kinda picky at what I actually endorse. This gym is one of the few I give five stars to.
The important stuff: they don’t skip the important things. They do REAL warm up’s each class. And not just a “let’s do a 5 min amrap that doesn’t really apply but gets you moving”. No, their warm ups are targeted making sure you’re prepped for the workout. They also go over each movement whether you’re an experienced cfer or a newbie.
Scaling options are clear and not belittled. This is the gym I’d recommend to anyone in the area no matter your skill level. You’ll learn something no matter where you’re at.
And all of that is great, but CrossFit tends to be a community and this place has that locked in. Whether it’s the invite for a beer across the street after a Friday night workout, or people like coach Devin making sure that you feel welcome whether she’s in the class with you or coaching it. This is the first place I’ve dropped in that has made me feel just as at home as my home gym…. And I’ve hit up more gyms than I can count. If I could give it 10 stars…. I would

NELA Athletics is my favorite gym, ever! Why? Because NELA Athletics hires coaches who are well trained, friendly, personable, and caring. I regularly see the benefits of my workouts. A year ago, I couldn’t even do one side plank. Recently, Coach Paul added them to our workout and I readily did 20 with holds. Staff strives to get to know you. When I don’t show for class, my regular Coach Lily shoots me a text to see if I’m okay. One day, I showed up at the wrong time, and on the spot, Coach Erwin organized a workout for me. At NELA Athletics, there is a real since of community and Esprit de Corps. Beyond the regular Cross-fit workouts, there are fun-filled gatherings like potlucks, comedy shows, swim-workouts, health-related workshops and competitions. Here’s to a standing ovation for NELA Athletics for creating a healthy, welcoming environment and strong bodies.

NELA Athletics is awesome!! Went there for a little over a year and all of the coaches are super friendly and helpful. A great way to connect with other people and challenge yourself with new workouts! I did 3 Ignite classes weekly, which I really loved, and while you have the opportunity to move up to the CrossFit classes, no one pressured me to, which I appreciated because I wasn’t necessarily looking to do CrossFit. Overall it’s a very accepting and encouraging community! :)

I recently joined Nela Athletics because of the great reception I received during the my initial visit. Now that I am taking classes the staff and classmates are supportive.

For me joining this local business was just what I was looking for.

Just started 3 days ago and already I feel like I made the right decision. Everyone has been super friendly and inviting. Intimidation of "crossfit" has held me back for years and I have to say this has been the best decision i could have ever made. These is an accountability aspect without the pressure. Also, I never felt pressured to sign up for a membership. In fact I was encouraged to try out a free class to make sure that this would be a good fit for me. I enjoyed the low key non high maintenance vibe that I signed up immediately.

I started out at Nela Athletics looking for an alternative to working out solo at 24 Hour Fitness and the like. As a former college athlete I missed the competitiveness, camaraderie, and intensity that sports provide. Not only did Nela fill those voids, it gave me a sense of community that is hard to come by in a big city. I made friends there that I'm certain will be life-long. The coach's are friendly, diligent, and attentive to details. And of course, It got me into great shape! Thank you Nela!!

This review is way over due. I've been a member of Nela Crossfit for over a year now and I can't even begin to tell you what a great choice it was to join this box. Brand new to Crossfit when I started, I started slow with their "Ignite" classes which are more cardio based (similar to boot camp type classes) and finally moved up to actual "Crossfit"classes after about 6 months. Now I do both, mostly depending on my schedule and the class schedule for the day. Most of their teachers teach both types of classes and all of them are awesome teachers! Not going to name favorites--they know who they are. I feel so much better both physically and mentally since starting these classes. I'm one of the older members at 54, but you shouldn't let that discourage you if you're on the older side like myself--start slow and work your way into it. NOBODY judges you here and everyone is super supportive from the owner Paul, to all the teachers and the other box members.

This place was a great start for me 5 years ago! I had no athletic background and was overweight. I did some weights in HS (so long ago), but the best part of this gym are the levels that the work outs are broken down. Starting from L1, L2 , L3 & RX. I started at L1 for sure, but after a few years and having another baby, I'm a good L3 trying to get to RX! I love CrossFit because of this place. The coaches are always helpful and motivating.

I've been coming to this CrossFit gym for almost five years and I can't imagine not having my coaches and friends around me while working out. There's honesty and diligence when I come to class, and always help when I need improvement and suffice to get it started. The fact that they offer not only CrossFit, but Bootcamp (Ignite) classes, Olympic weightlifting and stretch and yoga classes is nothing short of amazing. They don't ignore the needs of everything the body needs to be its best. And I'm a stubborn honest person. If I don't like something, you'll know it. And I like this place very, VERY much.

The community here is amazing! The vibe is welcoming the moment you step in and the coaches are awesome. They assign scaled options to those who aren't quite there yet, are beginning or need modifications due to an injury, and the people in class are so supportive! Definitely the community to join!

I've been a member here for years. It's by far one of the best CrossFit, and indeed best fitness communities in Los Angeles, and I've tried a LOT. The facility is clean and well-maintained, the staff is knowledgable, and the people are incredibly supportive. Proud to be a member of the Nela Athletics community! (Also check out the other location in Atwater Village, near the Glendale train station.)

This place has changed my life for the better! Easily the friendliest fitness place I've ever visited. Not only is this place my 2nd home, I've made friends that will last a lifetime. In terms of fitness, the coaches are VERY exacting, and will work with you to achieve positive results, no matter your current level. Don't be afraid to get in there--start wherever you are and work hard!
