I signed up not realizing this was a CF gym but ended up learning a lot and gaining strength I didn't know I had. Each head coach has their own style but are all equally invested in your success and form throughout the workouts. I am a complete beginner and still struggle with lifting forms, but everyone has been so patient in helping me out. Good vibes all around.

It's definitely worth checking out if you're local in the area, however, that's where my only grievance lies. The initiation to join and 'check it out' requires a significant financial obligation. It includes nutrition guidance and inbody scans so it could be worth the value, but I do wish there was also an option to join with x months of commitment but without all the bells and whistles. I found the nutrition guidance was fairly minimal, especially if you have dietary restrictions or already eat on the healthier side.

My time at pendulum have simply been the best. I love how helpful the coaches are here. They all have genuine passion for all the gym members to reach their fitness goals. They also have an app that makes your scheduling very easy to reserve your time frame and spot. If you’re looking for a gym that will provide guidance to your fitness goals. Pendulum fitness is the best choice.

I’m four weeks in and I know that joining Pendulum is one of the best fitness decisions I’ve made. The level of training is top tier and I get personalized attention. The coaches are super knowledgeable and prioritize safety, especially for people who are new to strength training.

I’m very happy with my decision to join!

I was a chunky monkey, and unable to lift much. Now, after only a few months, I’m starting to lift real weight and see the difference. More monk then chunk now. Thanks coach!

Pendulum Fitness is truly an amazing place.
I came out to LA for six months for my internship and feel incredibly lucky to have found Pendulum Fitness. As a complete newbie to CrossFit, I was initially nervous, but everyone was so welcoming, encouraging, and helpful. The coaches (Vince and Chris) do a great job preparing you and tailoring workouts so you can gradually build confidence and become part of the team.
Every member and coach contributes to the special energy here (shout out to the 5 p.m. group class!). I never expected to meet people I'd genuinely miss at a fitness club. I always looked forward to class, and working out three times a week kept me grounded throughout my internship.
I'll miss Pendulum Fitness and everyone there so much.

I joined Pendulum Fitness about two months ago, and I love it! Everyone, the coaches and students, is welcoming and encouraging. I have worked with Alex the most and she a fantastic! She makes sure everyone is working out safely, gives great demos/instructions, and is great at nudging you to the next level. Mark has been a great coach and cheerleader on the nutrition front. I am 51 years old, and was a little nervous about joining a strength training gym. But all that has melted away. I am stronger already and definitely feel like I have a place there.

This is the 5th week since I joined Pendulum Fitness. Pendulum is a great gym to get some workout. I am doing semiprivate sessions with Coach Vince. Coach Vince really pushes me to work through the burn. Joining Pendulum Fitness with my husband is the best decision I have ever made. My husband and I have been sedentary. Now, we look forward to working out. What’s great about Pendulum Fitness is they hold us accountable with Nutrition. My husband and I have been eating high-protein with the encouragement of Coach Vince.

I am about as far from a gym rat as you can be. I found Pendulum through a targeted social media post aimed at middle age women trying to get back in shape. Honestly, I am so happy I responded and Drew connected with me right away. I have been doing the semi-private sessions with Chris 3x a week. He is amazing, and it's a great environment to learn and grow in. It has only been a month, but I already feel stronger, healthier, and happier. What I like the most about this gym is that it is welcoming to all fitness levels. So if you are nervous about working out or don't know where to start, Drew and his team can help! And if you are already crushing it and want a challenge, the group classes look like a lot of fun.

I can’t talk more highly about this place! All I can say is - results are real and they set you up for true success! I have been trying to lose pounds and get to a goal for a couple years now, and pendulum set me up with the best coach , Alex, tailored to my life and busy work schedule as a Chef. She’s encouraging, motivating, she keeps me accountable and helps me daily! I can see how this place can quickly become like family. The only thing I’d say is- trust the coach and the program! Go all in and I promise you will not regret it!

Pendulum Fitness freed me from an ongoing, unmotivated series of self-disappointments that spans about 30 years. Always hoping to get in better shape at some point, I loathed stereotypical gym culture...the preening, the competition, the toxicity. And I half-started so many at-home fitness programs....FIT FOR LIFE begat BEACH BODY begat P90X begat BODY BEAST begat BASEMENT BEAST begat - you get the idea. But I was accountable to noone but me, and stopped all of these before they ever really got started.

So fast forward to December '24. On my 59th birthday in March of that year, I told myself I needed to get healthier - it's the last 3rd of my life, and I want to embrace it and be healthy and live it fully. By Christmas, fully aware that I was failing myself yet again, I was scrolling through IG and saw an ad for some fitness challenge. I clicked the link, fully confident in my dismissive cynicism that it would not be for me.

Well...

Within 15 minutes I received a text from Drew...a truly genuine, decidedly NON marketing text. He was excited in my interest, he wanted to learn more about me to see if what Pendulum offered was a good fit - not "Bro, you need us!" but rather "Let's see if we're right for you."

Huh?, I thought...gyms don't work like that!

So I made an appointment to meet with Drew. And we had a fantastic talk. And I signed up. Then I met Mark, and eventually my coach Alex. And there was no icky gym culture ANYWHERE to be found.

Pendulum is a truly incredible place. Only 3 sessions in, and I know that this is the place that will help me reach my goals. Alex, as well as Drew, Mark, plus folks I haven't even met yet, are there for me, rooting for me, and are expecting me to show up. And for the first time in 30 years, I really want to. And I do.

Last Friday was a very grueling session, and I was stiff and sore throughout the weekend...on my own that would have ended it: "Meh, I'm sore, I'll start up again when I'm not." But today, Monday, I practically ran to my 7am session, because Alex was expecting me, because I'm finally on the right journey to improved health, because this is where I need, where I want, where I just have to be.

I'm so excited for the next 12 weeks and beyond. Thank you Drew, Alex and everyone at Pendulum Fitness...we are changing my life.

Yours in health and fitness,

jj Jackman

My Journey at Pendulum Fitness - Pasadena

Since beginning my fitness journey at Pendulum Fitness in October 2024, I've discovered what truly sets apart an exceptional gym from the ordinary. Located in Pasadena, this fitness facility has become more than just a place to work out – it's become a cornerstone of my commitment to personal health and wellness.

The heart of my experience at Pendulum has been working with my coach, Liv, who exemplifies everything you could want in a personal trainer. Her approach to fitness coaching goes far beyond just counting reps or demonstrating exercises. Liv has created a comprehensive support system that keeps me accountable to my goals, pushing me to achieve more than I thought possible while ensuring I maintain proper form and technique throughout each session.

The quality of workouts at Pendulum Fitness is exceptional. Each session is thoughtfully designed to challenge me while building upon previous progress. What's particularly impressive is how the training program adapts to my individual needs and goals. The workouts are intense and purposeful, but never feel overwhelming or beyond my capabilities.

One of the most remarkable aspects of Pendulum Fitness is their staff. Beyond just Liv, every team member contributes to creating an environment that's both professional and welcoming. This isn't a facility where you feel like just another membership number – the staff takes the time to know you and genuinely invest in your success. Their consistent encouragement and support make every visit something to look forward to, rather than an obligation to dread.

The accountability aspect of training at Pendulum has been transformative for my fitness journey. Through regular check-ins and progress tracking, Coach Liv ensures that I stay focused on my goals. She has a unique ability to motivate without overwhelming, push without pressuring, and encourage without coddling. This balanced approach has helped me maintain consistency in my fitness routine, which has been crucial to seeing real results.

For anyone in the Pasadena area seeking a fitness facility that offers more than just equipment and space, Pendulum Fitness delivers an experience that's worth every penny. The combination of expert coaching, particularly from trainers like Liv, along with the supportive atmosphere and results-driven approach, makes this gym stand out in a crowded fitness landscape. Whether you're just starting your fitness journey or looking to take your training to the next level, Pendulum Fitness provides the perfect environment to achieve your goals.

After a month of training here, I can confidently say that joining Pendulum Fitness was one of the best decisions I've made for my health and wellness. The personalized attention, exceptional coaching, and consistent accountability have created an experience that continues to exceed my expectations. This isn't just another gym – it's a community dedicated to helping its members achieve their fitness goals through expert guidance and unwavering support.

This was all new to me. I came across a post on Instagram and decided to go "check it out." I just completed my first month and I told Drew that the experience has been amazing! Coach Vince pays attention to detail and really helped me with my form and technique. The facility is huge! clean and most importantly, the members make it a great community. If you go "check it out," you will see for yourself why I decided to join.

In short, I wasn't just another transaction to the business.

In the past I was hesitant to join a crossfit gym based mainly on fear that I couldn't do the workouts. Well I finally signed up and I've learned a lot about proper form and what I am capable of and what I need to improve on. Today I joined the first group class and everyone was welcoming and seasoned members were helpful to give tips and cheer you on while lifting. I enjoyed the class a lot (though that warm up kicked my butt) and I thought it was fun and very challenging. Thanks to Coaches Drew, Chris, Liv, and Alex and everyone at Pendulum for the support and mindful suggestions on proper form and meal options. Hope to continue and progress throughout the week at Pendulum.

To me, the experience at Pendulum is unforgettable and formative. I lost between 3-4% body fat percentage during the one month I was there. The first two weeks of onboarding was about learning movements and ensuring forms are correct. I felt like this was much needed for me as someone who hadn’t worked out for almost a whole year. After onboarding, training was one day strength and conditioning and the other more cardio. I believe Drew, the owner, does the planning himself and the training content is quite good like you wouldn’t feel bored or repetitive. The daily agendas never really repeated themselves. What really brought my experience to a higher level compared to other gyms was the peers I worked out with — they were always nice, patient, and professional. It’s that kind of group who you would feel obliged to further connect with even in a long-term perspective. They do organize and host some events as a part of their community operations strategy which really helps with engaging and bonding customers. For example, I know they had the open-day and anniversary events while I was there. Facility-wise I think Pendulum is one of the most spacious cross-fit gyms I have seen in the area and the staffs seem to have maintained it well so far. Unfortunately, I’m moving down south so I can’t join on a regular basis as you all know how traffic is like in the LA area.

Great people, such a friendly environment, coaches are very understanding and provide great solutions if there is any difficulty in the workouts.
Always someone is watching if wrong movements are made,
Big range of ages are working out side by side , some of them are really inspiring.
Great nutrition programs.
Ive been with Pendulum for about month and half and right now I feel so much better about my self.
My coworkers are saying that my energy level is so high that they can’t catchup on the jobs we do at work, and asking me to slow down😂
I started to feel that way right from the first day of starting my nutrition plan, and its even getting better as we are continuing the workout.
Most importantly, I Am NOT TIRED ANY MORE , no matter how much I work!
Thank you Drew, and thanx for creating such great place for us to be happy with ourselves!!

I came here yesterday for an appointment to see what Palladium Fitness was all about I found them on Instagram as they were advertising their ad and once you put in your information they will definitely get back to you in like 2 minutes Drew who is the owner is a nice person and the amptomshere there seem to be cool and low-key as well but don't let the advertisements fool you on Instagram. Very very pricey $$$$ they do have payment plans but if your income can handle it then I'll say go for it!. Drew and his team will whoop you into shape. Just know you're going to do a lot of high intense workouts.

I enrolled with Pendulum about 2 months ago and my experience from initial enrollment has been great. All of the staff are professional, responsive, and kind. The classes will work you extremely hard, but the coaches make it great. Despite being a large group, there are all different levels, from beginner to advanced. The coaches will be there to support you every step of the way. They are patient, kind, motivating, and genuinely want to see you succeed. After 2 months, my sentiment toward working out hasn’t changed (still have GREAT disdain), but I am showing up and doing the work; something I haven’t regretted. I’d highly recommend Pendulum for anyone interested in giving Cross Fit a try and has hesitations. You will be okay at Pendulum!

Pendulum Fitness is a Great environment that gives you tools to achieve health goals! It’s an environment that helps motivate, distress, and grow. The People at Pendulum are real and super friendly full of knowledge and you don't have to worry about people judging you or taking stupid videos to show off online. Trust me when I say, don't waste money on a gym membership where you won't see results and fall off the health goal. When you join Pendulum you will feel motivated without being self-conscious and more importantly you will find mental stability due to the mentorship of the team and other members.
Get started and find yourself.
At Pendulum there is no “ I can’t” there is only “I can.”

During the WGA strike, I decided to sign up with a personal trainer and some nutrition help from the folks at Pendulum. I was not disappointed. Within only a couple weeks, mostly thanks to Coach Z, but with help from others like Coach Liv (on the nutrition side), I dropped 5% body fat, gained a pound of muscle and lost eight pounds. Now I’m 5 weeks into the program and down 15 pounds while only getting stronger. Can’t recommend this place more highly.

There are so many reasons not to work out, but if your excuse looks anything like “I’m afraid to join a CrossFit gym bcs I don’t know what I’m doing and I’m totally out of shape” do NOT let that stop you from giving Pendulum a try. This place is great! Very welcoming vibe. The coaches are super knowledgeable and friendly, they’ll push you to your limits (safely) but somehow you’ll be psyched to come back for more. The gym itself is massive, clean, well-laid out with new equipment. If you’re considering this gym at all I recommend you simply set up an intake session and get started asap. My one regret with joining this gym is not doing it sooner. Hope to see you in class!!

It is my sixth week working out at Pendulum Fitness and I’m addicted. I am so glad I found this gym. The owners of the gym (Drew and Chris) truly care about their members and they invest their time into helping everyone achieve new fitness goals. The coaches (Grace, Alex, Z and Liv) are awesome! I love how they motivate and encourage everyone. They pay close attention to your form and give you tips on how to improve.

This is a great gym! The place is clean, spacious, and they have convenient class times throughout the day. But you go to a gym like this for the coaches and they have some of the best. Coaches Grace, Alex, Z and Olivia each have their own style, but they will all motivate you, keep you accountable, and help you get stronger. The owners Chris and Drew are awesome too. Whether you're a beginner or veteran, Pendulum will help you reach your fitness goals.

My wife and I joined in August 2022, and Pendulum has changed our lives.

Before joining, we found ourselves in a fitness rut. We decided we needed a change from going to our local traditional gym, struggling with motivation, and going through the motions without meaningful progress.

I found Pendulum online, and we decided to give it a try. Between our introduction to Drew, the owner, and our first class series, we knew we'd found something special.

It's been a life-changing experience due to the methodology, the community, and above all, the coaches.

Drew has built a culture that blends discipline, encouragement, kindness, and community, reflected by who he has chosen to bring on in his coaching staff. Coach Z, Olivia, Alex, and Grace all have extensive knowledge of CrossFit, but, more importantly, they're good people who genuinely care about the fitness progress and well-being of every member. They all possess excellent communication skills and can motivate positively.

The environment is curated for friendliness and inclusiveness. We feel a true sense of camaraderie with our fellow members and have made strong friendships that extend outside of the gym.

Here are the ways that Pendulum has changed us: We're stronger, less stressed, eat better, drink less, and sleep better. Our time at Pendulum is an escape from the pressures of our everyday lives and brings a sense of accomplishment and joy that we didn't think was possible from working out.

The facilities are clean and well-maintained. There is ample space and equipment for varied workouts that the coaches do a great job of keeping organized and moving forward.

Drew is open to feedback and constantly strives to grow and improve Pendulum as a business and a community. We admire him as a person for the place and community that he's built and his desire to be responsive to members' needs.

In summary, Pendulum is a special place where you can meet your fitness goals and feel included regardless of your fitness level. We sincerely thank Drew and his staff for their commitment to us and our fitness.

If you're reading this and are unsure about CrossFit or if this gym is right for you, the team at Pendulum will meet you where you are and help you become a stronger, faster, more confident version of yourself. We strongly recommend this gym to anyone seeking a transformative fitness journey.

I was wary of CrossFit culture before I joined Pendulum but everyone at this gym, coaches and students, were all so welcoming. The coaches I have worked with (in class and semi-privates) have all been very focused on form and teaching the movements safely, as opposed to lifting super heavy or doing the most reps until you throw up. This is something I completely appreciate, especially after a really bad shoulder injury (different sport) in the past. The accountability from my coach is invaluable and I abso-freakin-lutely credit all my "gainzzz" to her.

The gym is always well maintained; clean, equipment in excellent condition, free fancy water, lockers/cubbies, lounge area, local coffee pop ups. The space is huge and airy, even when it's hot outside. And they have plenty of parking (their own lot and street parking) in a nice neighborhood. Try not to get distracted by the hot Firefighters hosing down their fire truck down the street.

Overall great place, awesome atmosphere, and knowledgeable coaches.

I was extremely skeptical to ever try Crossfit, but after much pushing, by my good friend, Annie, I jumped in and am so happy I did. Coming to Pendulum changed my mind about Crossfit and taught me quite a bit about health and fitness and inspired me to stick with it and push myself. Drew (the owner) is such a sincere and caring person, he is welcoming but will also push you and you'll end up surprising yourself with what you can do. Everyone is welcome and we all get our butts kicked by his workout programming together but we always feel accomplished at the end. The coaches he has teaching are awesome and are available to help with modifying workouts/movements and want the best for their members. It's a great space and place that is welcoming to all.

If you're looking for a new CrossFit-style gym and community, personal training, small group training / Olympic Weightlifting individual or group classes, I can give Pendulum my highest recommendation. I have personally been to over 5 CrossFit gyms in the past 10 years, and the programming here is some of the best out there. It's challenging, but not to the point where you can't function the next day or risk getting injured (like some other gyms I have been a member at).

Pendulum is a true community built around its members, and the coaches and owners are passionate about fitness and helping you achieve your goals - whether to get stronger, faster, fitter or train for something specific - they are always willing to work with you. The equipment and facilities are everything an experienced athlete needs (ski ergs, runners, rowers, olympic barbells, a huge rig, rings, and more), and even if you're new to the sport or even new to working out, they have a great mix of coaches and equipment to give you a safe, positive, and effective experience.

If you're in the market for a gym and you're lucky enough to live close to Pendulum, come check them out - you & your future self won't regret it.

There really isn’t anything negative to say other than they make me run!!! But pendulum and their team is what I needed in my life right now. It has been life changing and I am stronger and more confident now since I’ve joined in the last year. I’ve had some pretty good gains in 7 weeks or so down 10lb, I’ve built muscle I think like 2 lbs or so and my body fat percentage has dropped. I went to the doctor today and boom they said oh you’ve lost 10 lbs that’s great. So I feel pretty amazing and I don’t dread going to the gym… but the running yeah it chases me ! Hahah see what I did there!? The environment has really helped my soul and I love pendulum and their vision and mission to helping me and everyone who enters ! Ohhh BURRRRPEEEEEEES !

I am 61 years young and Ive been a member for 5 years and heres why: In the beginning the word "crossfit" intimidated me, but when I walked into the Pendulum and still today many of the members in group are my age and we all remained in the class and have become a family; every morning greeted with smiles and laughter. The facility is very spacious so you have room to maneuver. The coaches are really personable and know their stuff; they are always demonstrating proper technique to avoid injury. If you get injured Pendulum got you. There is a licensed chiropractor onsite, Jason, who is very knowledgeable and he will definitely workout the pain. There's not a better crossfit facility, owner or staff like Pendulum in the area.

I appreciate the trainers taking the time to teach each movement correctly. While working on the movements with the weight training they correct my motions to make sure I move correctly and don't injure myself. I like the fact that they are monitoring me and encouraging me to keep going. Pendulum Fitness is keeping me accountable and motivated 😁

Never thought I would be doing CrossFit but decided to give it a try. I’ve been here a couple of months and happy I joined. In that short period of time I’ve noticed the physical and mental benefits already! What makes this place so exceptional are the people - starting with Drew (owner) and all the coaches/staff. They challenge you in a very supportive way, always making sure you have the correct form when doing the various exercises. Also, members have different athletic abilities so don’t think you have to be a star athlete to join. I’m definitely not! Everyone is so positive and encouraging, especially those who are much more advanced. I never feel intimidated. I’m just starting out with Pendulum and eager to see the progress I make. Definitely recommend trying this place out!

The best thing I could have done to close out my 2022.
I started with Pendulum Fitness over 6 months ago and it has not failed to impress me.
The owners are hands on, their coaches are mindful and fun, the place is immaculate, and the other members are great to be around. I have experienced all the support one could ever need when gearing up an active life. They have offered what I needed to feel that this is the right place to spend my time (and money).
The group sessions do feel like a team and the advance members are just as supportive as the coaches.
You will get results that you work for.

Making financial and calendaring decisions for your fitness and health is tough. It can feel isolating, defeating, and more often than not, testing. I originally joined in July 2022 with an abundance of cautious optimism. Before starting, I had curiosities about Pendulum’s methodology, culture fit, group energy and dynamics, and overall availability of coaches to serve as a support system. I walked in on my first day and was immediately disarmed - my curiosities were addressed and I quickly understood Pendulum’s value system. I felt welcomed, embraced, and safe to fail.

Ten months later, not only do I continue feeling all the above, but more. I feel loved, uplifted, brave, stronger, faster, and leaner. The culture created by Pendulum coaches and peers facilitates your determination for risk-taking, self-accountability coaching, and momentum-building. If you’re concerned about whether you’ll be treated as a number, don’t. Pendulum coaches have genuinely good, authentic hearts and, time and time again, I remain impressed by the level of sophistication, clarity, partnership-orientation, and brilliance of each coach’s facilitation. They are proven, credible experts who know what they’re doing, know what they’re saying, and know who they are.

If you’re looking for an exponentially transformative journey for your mental, physical, and emotional health, congratulations: you’ve found your crew! Still have trepidations? Get in your car, drive over, and ask anyone for a real-time review of their experience. It’ll seal the deal.

Also, for what it’s worth, this is a safe space for our LGBTQ+ family. As a Queer man, I’ve not once paused to question the intent of coaches or other peers. And, if I ever did, I am fully confident in staff’s integrity to ensure my safety and bravery. Especially in a straight-dominated culture of weightlifting, I can assure you you’re safe here.

Sending much love to those of you starting or accelerating your fitness journey. Considering Pendulum as part of your next chapter is a commendable decision.

Terrible owner, He charged me 3000 dollars for personal training sessions, in the second week, I have some budget problems, so I need to modify the plan, but the owner said the agreement was 6000 dollars comes with 36 personal training sessions, they only thing he can do is cancel my membership and cancel all of my classes. No refund, So, my 3000 dollars gone and my session is gone as well.

Maybe this place just wasn't for me. We were promised a package that essentially wasn't going to be offered to me anymore. The owner did try and make it work, but I had to reach out first to voice my concerns. I appreciate the effort he went through but at the end of the day it just did not feel like this would be the right place for me. I never actually worked out here but the vibes were just not right for me, I felt pressured to prove I wanted a lifestyle change. I joined another gym and feel it was probably best for both parties involved.

I have been training at Pendulum for the last five years and love everything about it. All members are welcoming and always ready to give a hand to everyone in need. The staff is very professional from the very knowledgeable coaches to the caring owners.
I have seen this place grow over the years and I’m happy to call it my second home.
The workout are always challenging and if you follow the program you will get amazing results. I can tell you that because I am 49 years old, and my back squat is 425 pounds, deadlift 440, bench 275, clean 255, do more than 30 unbroken toes-to-bar, run a 6 minute mile, etc etc etc. And the best part is that as I am “aging” I am still improving in everything I do. You can tell I’m proud of myself but it wouldn’t be possible without a well thought program. I just need to show up and give my best effort.
I hope you find this review helpful and we get to know each other if you ever decide to join.

I am an advocate for Pendulum Fitness. When I first joined, about 18 months ago, I was somewhat apprehensive. I am 64 and the coaches are very helpful in scaling the workouts to allow me to participate vigorously and not exacerbate existing physical challenges. As a matter of fact the coaches are so aware of what is going on in their sessions that hey have, on multiple occasions, pulled me back from trying something that they thought was out of my personal envelope. Great folks, Great Place. Most strongly recommended.

I am not an exercise person. I've tried everything from hot yoga to boot camps and simply been happy when the six weeks were over. I signed up for the 6 week Best Self Challenge in November. I'd not been doing any type of exercise - none, zip, nada, zilch - and jumped right into 3 days a week.

I loved it. I enjoy the coaches and the other members. The coaches work with your limitations and encourage you to do a little more as appropriate. I never felt pressured to do anything that might lead to injuries. The coaches all work with your form and it's not just about speed or most reps. It's about most reps done right.

This is what I told them when they asked me about how I am experiencing CrossFit Pendulum, "I am loving it. This seems completely strange to me. I dread it when I see the WOD, but then I get it done and feel accomplished. Yep. Loving it."

Your mileage may vary, but if you're considering this, I recommend trying it. I never thought that I'd find exercise I want to do.

I started Crossfit back in 2012, but was hesitant to go back after having brain surgery in August of 2017. When talking with Drew (owner/head coach), he was very empathetic to what I went through, and assured me that his staff of coaches would share the same regard and care. He was right. I have nothing but great things to say about this Gym. They take fitness seriously, but they know how to have fun too. I love this gym!

I started at Crossfit Pendulum as part of a 6-week challenge at work. To be honest I probably wouldn't have just joined this on my own but I am glad I did. I am older than most here, overweight, out of shape and have some health and balance issues so I was a bit reluctant. Drew is my Classic Class coach and he is most supportive of my health challenges and is working to help me overcome them. When I started I couldn't do the jump rope at all. They started me out just jumping and moving my hands to imitate the jump rope. The first time I used the jump rope and did it 7 times in a row!! That might not seem like much to you, but to me it was a miracle. Now I am up to 50 times without stopping - amazing. Everyone who attends the class are very nice and supportive. You have athletes working alongside the regular folks and there is no judgement. During my first few weeks I was last in doing my number of rounds. When I ran my last 100-meters, the entire class ran with me even though they had already finished their workout. That made my day! I just had my 6 months at Pendulum and have lost 15 pounds and 2 inches. Better than that, I gained confidence, stamina, energy, I am stronger and am able to do things I never thought I could do again. My health is better, my balance is better, I feel better than I have in years. Don't be shy if you have health issues and think you can't do this type of training. This is the place for you, the coaches will work you through it and adjust the workout so you can succeed. You will learn the proper way to do exercise so you won't hurt yourself. If you are looking for a place to work out in a supportive environment and see results, then I urge you to give this place a try. You won't regret it. See you at the Box!

Jumping on the exercise machines at 24hr fitness on a daily basis was not enough to get rid of my chronic low back pain. After rounds of pain meds/physical therapy, I joined this place and got my life back. The hands-on coaching and functional training built up muscles I needed for everyday life like loading the dishwasher or unloading groceries from the car. My low back pain was replaced with an encouraging community pointing me towards a "can-do" mindset and proper form.

This is the box all other boxes should aspire to be. If you're an athlete looking for a solid WOD, supportive members and knowledgeable trainers, look no further. If you're worried about "Crossfit" because you've read horror stories online, or your family and friends (know it alls) all told you Crossfit would injure you, but you still want to try, this is the place for you. The trainers are there to help you push yourself while maintaining proper form and safety at all times. They will help YOU meet YOUR goals, but you'll be doing the lifting.

I've been coming to Pendulum since August 2017, and they welcomed me with open arms. I've done weight training for 10+ years now, but I'd noticed my strength was good, but my stiffness and mobility was becoming restricted, even with an active job such as mine. After just a few months at Pendulum, I feel great. Drew, George, Jenn and Dario are always supportive and pushing you to achieve more. Even when you're a crumpled heap on the floor, fighting for breath, they'll encourage you to keep moving.

The facility keeps expanding, new faces keep arriving every week, and the competitive spirit is alive and well. I can't think of too many "101" Crossfitters who complete the 101 classes and don't enroll in a full membership. My son comes with me all the time, and there's a small play room for children.

You'll be happy here, and find yourself reaching and exceeding new goals every week. Best of all, the trainers and other athletes will watch you closely to make sure you're doing not "the most weight" but rather the movement the most right.

I've been a member here for a few months now and i could not be happier. Each time I go, i get a workout and a personal coach. Today i was learning a new move and Coach George was so patient with me and by the end of the hour I was able to do what minutes before i could not. He broke it down and piece by piece taught me how to fight for my first "overhead squat". This is an amazing place with amazing people... and my life and body are changing!

I always say I don't necessarily love crossfit but I do love "my" crossifit, aka Crossfit Pendulum. It's different from most crossfits because of the incredible coaching for starters, technique and safety are important here. I am a physical therapist and I always agree with the coaches assessments of sore muscles and the cues they use to help us activate certain muscle groups. They know how to ensure that you protect your body from injury and always appropriately scale things. Secondly I have found an amazing community of people. There aren't cliques of elite athletes vs. average athletes and I feel that any member genuinely cares for the other members like family. I am definitely committed to this "box" and feel at home here.

BEST BOX EVER! I have been here for about 5 months now. I was hesitant to join crossfit because I thought I would look like a man or injure myself, but honestly it has been one of the best experiences. The coaches and amazing, safe, and truly concerned about the big picture of fitness. It has truly changed my life to be apart of this box and I HIGHLY recommend it. I have been to other boxes but this was marginally better. Come to this box!!!

CrossFit Pendulum is the "full package" of fitness. They have 1) great, experienced, and knowledgeable coaches (who are super caring too); 2) a healthy, encouraging environment that pushes you to grow; 3) a strong community of people at different levels, but with the same goal of learning and getting stronger; 4) affordable prices with hands-on training. The list goes on and on, but if you're looking for a box to grow your strength, performance, and function, while also improving your physique aesthetically, then CROSSFIT PENDULUM is the place for you!

Joining CrossFit Pendulum has dramatically changed my life!
It's not just about working out, it's about relationship and encouraging one another to live a healthier life style.
I am always so excited to see what our Work Out of The Day is going to be and I am continually surprised by how far I have come and what I have achieved in such a small amount of time.
The fact that we always have a new work out every day that is put together and taught by experienced and educated trainers is fantastic. The quality of one-on-one attention that all of us get is beyond compare. It is amazing to me that we have the advantage of having a personal trainer right beside us, cheering us on and helping us become more skilled athletes, without having to pay hundreds upon hundreds of dollars.
I have only been attending CrossFit Pendulum for two months and my clothes are looser, I am stronger than I have ever been in my life and I am accomplishing goals I never even thought were possible, like back squatting more than my own body weight.
I actually get excited about working out. It is not a chore or a hassle. It is a blessing and the best part of my day.
The trainers at CrossFit Pendulum make everyone feel so welcome and like we are part of a family.
There is no going back to a typical gym for me, CrossFit is my way of staying fit, focused, balanced and connected and I look forward to even more results and establishing greater connections with the people of our Crossfit community.
I encourage anyone who has never experienced CrossFit to go as soon as they can, they will never want to leave. =D

I have seen videos of CrossFit workouts and never thought that with my history of injuries ( 4 surgeries total) that I would ever be able to do those exercises. However, in the past 2 months since I have joined I have lost 1.5 pant sizes and gained a great community. Drew and Christina are the awesome coaches and owners of this great gym. They are both very knowledgeable about physiology and exercises. They can always explain the movements and also why we are doing these movements. They have created a great atmosphere where everyone encourages everyone. Also, the other coach Jeff is also very knowledgeable and definitely reflects the quality of coaches at this gym. All the exercises are scaled according to your current abilities with the goal of always improving at something. The price is also worth it because of the kind of attention you get from the coaches. You would be paying a lot more at any other regular gym for personal training. Come if you are ready to get fit and be part of a great fitness family!

This is a fresh edit after 5 years of being a member at Pendulum Fitness. I can't find a better fitness facility nearly anywhere (and I travel for a living and do a ton of drop ins!). Pendulum is perfect for beginners, novices, intermediate athletes, injured people, highly competitive athletes, and everything in between. I've gone through many seasons here at Pendulum now, and this place not only keeps me accountable and healthy, but also truly feels like home. Thank you Pendulum!
