You get everything in Brandon’s class: great music, dad jokes, inner child healing, and yes… a nicer ass. I have NEVER been a morning class person in my life, yet I drag myself to his 8:30am class three times a week without fail. He’s a pushy coach (in the best way) — pushing you from a place of love, and you can tell he genuinely cares about every single person who walks through the door. Do yourself a favor and go… but don’t take my spot.

I am a very big fan of South Pas Fitness! It's a great size, a reasonable price, and the crowd never feels too overwhelming. They have a very good selection of machines and open areas. I have a huge crush on Kelly. It also has a diverse mix of different kinds of people that go there, too. The staff is friendly and always willing to help out. My favorite gym out of the 3-4 that I've used during my years here in LA!

Focus on the process and the results will follow naturally. Arhooo!! Let’s
begin this fitness review.
South Pas Fitness is a fitness club that offers a wide variety of programs such as group classes, kick boxing, weight training, strength training, and more.
It’s 20,000 sq ft gym facility is beyond measure; space is well ventilated, multiple large mirrors, and abundance of spot lights that gives the gym a nice look.
This gym has basic weight machines, benches, water fountain, treadmills, sauna, modern dumbbells, juice bar, wipes, and barbells. Moreover, the facility is very neat and organized. Gym goers were respectful and polite as well as the gym staff.
Membership price per is…are you ready to hear it??? It’s a whopping $109/month with unlimited access including personal trainers. Parking is located on the rear of the bldg. As a first time gym visitor, I was very impressed.
Overall, I enjoyed using SPF gym. I walked in strong, I walked out a hero. I highly recommend you give this gym a visit.

It hits all requirements for high quality equipment (precor), clean, quiet, not terribly busy. Only ask would be that since I first tried them out upon their opening AND since coming back…Please get a Roman chair! It’s a staple at most gyms.

I found South Pas Fitness while looking for local gyms online. I was drawn to how nice the facility looked and the amount of equipment available. I started going to this gym a few months ago being completely new to a gym environment. To be honest, I wasn’t very confident in going since I wasn’t sure what to do or how to even use equipment. I was paired with Stevie for a welcome work out and I decided to keep working with her. She takes her time in getting to know what your personal goals are. She adapts work outs to go at your pace. She is super easy to work with. She has shown me so much in our sessions together these last months. Now, I feel better about myself and taking charge of my health/fitness. I am super impressed with her and thankful for helping me build confidence. No matter what your level is, if you’re looking to further your work outs I highly recommend Stevie!!

Updated Review:
Wow! talk about turning things around! I received a call that not only assured me the matter was being addressed but also reminded me just how much I’m valued as a customer. I’m beyond impressed with the speed, care, and sincerity shown. Jack went above and beyond his customer service is on another level, and the trainers at this location are just as outstanding. Their professionalism, kindness, and dedication truly set this place apart.
Yes, there was one rude and unacceptable moment but let me be clear: that incident does not define my experience here. What defines it is how this team shows up, owns the issue, and makes it right with grace and urgency. I’m more confident than ever in this location, and I’m proud to continue training here. Kudos
Original Review:
Today, I spoke with the front desk staff member, Elijah M, as I was trying to identify the name of a female staff member who was working the morning shift on 5/9/25. I wanted to address an issue regarding an incorrect cancellation email I received, stating I had canceled a booking when I had, in fact, attended. I had even called ahead to confirm my attendance and was told I would be charged if I didn’t show up.
When I asked for the staff member’s name to report the incident to management, Elijah M was hesitant to provide the information and asked me to describe the person instead. She stated that only the trainer could have processed the cancellation, which was not accurate in this case. During our conversation, she made an inappropriate accusation by calling me a racist, which was both offensive and unprofessional.
When I asked for her name, she identified herself as Elijah M and then suddenly recalled that the morning front desk staff member’s name is Leah.
Unfortunately, based on this experience, I can no longer recommend this location to my peers, as I have done in the past. While the trainers and managers here are excellent, the front desk staff has been consistently unpleasant and, in this case, crossed a line that makes it difficult to continue supporting this establishment.

I’ve always been active in sports and hiking but never belonged to a gym before. I’ve really enjoyed SPF in the 6 months since I joined. There is a wide array of machines and free weights that are almost always available.
Perhaps the best part has been the trainer Jack paired me with. Stevie is great. She is well educated and experienced. She is always ready with a prepared workout plan tailored to my needs. My fitness has noticeably improved since joining SPF -and Stevie is an important part of that. Her workouts are balanced , well planned, challenging and interesting(!). I actually look forward to working out- which I never unexpected. Thanks, Stevie!
My only suggestion for SPF is to somehow make it easier to reserve time in the women’s sauna. Still haven’t managed to get a reservation, yet.

Definitely my favorite gym of all time. Great, well-maintained equipment. Lots of dumbbells, always in order. Rarely crowded, but often lively. I've also noticed that my fellow members are especially courteous, almost always wiping equipment down after they use it. On top of that, I see the staff cleaning all the time.
I've been training with Pherum for a few months, and he's been amazing. He really knows his stuff, and he has the perfect demeanor to keep me motivated. I'm feeling a lot stronger and healthier, and I'm looking forward to taking it even further.

I love South Pas Fitness! I was originally supposed to live in the area for a few months due to contract work but ended up staying for a year. The manager of the gym ( sorry I don’t have your name) worked out an affordable month-to-month plan for me. I really appreciated that. Staff at this gym are so friendly. There is plenty of equipment and it is up to date. It is also never unbearably crowded. I would highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a home gym.

If I could give this place 6 stars, I absolutely would. I’ve been a member with SPF for a while now. I’ve seen them change and slowly put money into the club which I absolutely love. I don’t even live close to this gym anymore and I want to stay simply for the culture this gym provides. The front desk people, the sales team, the manager Josch (Not sure if I spelled his name correctly), every single trainer has been so helpful and nice (Lizah, Amber, Chris, Sean, Kelsey, Nailah, Josh). Even the maintenance team is extremely helpful and hardworking.
Love this gym, they’ve always shown they care. I recommend it to all my friends whenever I get a chance!

I want to give a big thank you to the manager Josch and the Sava the owner who kindly and quickly resolved an issue with my membership. I look forward to being a member of a gym who takes the time to listen to their members!

very happy to be a member at spf! my girlfriend and i joined this gym about a year ago when we moved to south pas. over the last 8 years, i’ve been a member at la fitness, equinox, and then fitness 19 (not at the same time, of course) and i can easily say that i’m happiest at south pas fitness. the gym is always clean, weights are organized and kept in the proper location, and equipment is well maintained (or brand new!). the gym is spacious and separated into a few different spaces, so it never feels packed, even at its busiest times. in general, the gym is quiet (no dropping weights!) and other members are respectful and kind. parking is plentiful (even at the busiest of times), as are available lockers and towels. the gym also has more of a “zen” vibe and is aesthetically pleasing - there aren’t tvs blaring bad cable tvs shows everywhere and cheesy edm remixes aren’t blasting through the club.
final note: i’m a big fan of spf and am grateful for an organized, quiet, cool, clean, odor-free gym. the gym is constantly getting new and upgraded equipment and i can easily say this spot is worth the $$.

This place is okay but it really is expensive for what it offers. Better than your average commercial gym or is it really? Maybe not, cause they are asking twice the price. They don't even have a paid spotify account and blast commercials, ed sheeran, and top 40 just like planet fitness. I dunno bro, been thing about leaving this spot.

South Pas Fitness is a great neighborhood gym! Sometimes LA can feel huge and overwhelming. This is a gym where you will see the same people and the staff and instructors will know you and chat with you and it makes you want to come back and work out! There are a lot of different classes and it is well maintained with new equipment. There's also a comfortable lounge and wifi and a coffee bar! The only reason my review is 4 stars and not 5 is that they don't have a pool and they only have a single use sauna which is very popular and hard to get into, so I wish they had more. Also they need fresh stretch mats (I usually bring my own). But it offers an intangible community vibe that is really 5 stars. I had not been working out regularly for years but since joining SPF I go 2-3 times a week now and am starting to really see a difference!

Disappointing. Poor management & ongoing card charges without consent (e.g. hidden fees, charges for missed classes you never signed up for, or use of sauna)
The amenities are not worth the stress when you’re trying to decompress.

Love this gym! Tons of space, lots of equipment & machines, inclusive & friendly environment, and it never feels crowded. Parking is easy, it's easy to get in and get out because I never find myself needing to wait for machines and all. Haven't taken the classes yet, but there is a variety of group classes offered basically everyday.
Only weird thing is the bathroom/locker room configuration. It's a weird design/layout given the actual workout part feels very well laid out.
Not the cheapest gym out there but I enjoy the value I get from South Pas Fitness.

*edit: did not expect them to reach out let alone do it so quickly but they did and also gave a full refund. It was a miscommunication but to take fault and apologize showed that management definitely cares about the individual experience and also gave me full run down on how they do the screen golf. They also have better clubs for rentals for the unknowing person that wanted to try screen golf but came unprepared.
I bought a day pass and in general the gym was nice with great facilities. However, towards the end of the workout, my experience turned really bad because of the miscommunication I had with the front worker. I noticed they had screen golf and having never tried screen golf, I went to the front to ask about it. The worker told me I had to reserve a time so I went ahead and reserved it but he never mentioned that it would cost extra and I do remember asking if I could use the screen golf as a day pass user and all he said was yes without telling me the added cost. After the session, The worker told me he had forgotten to charge me and I was a little shocked because I was not told that it would cost extra and on top of that it would be an extra 50 dollars. I went ahead and paid for it because at the time I was with a friend and did not want to make a scene. However, I would have never paid 50 for a screen golf session with just nothing but their own run down golf clubs and cracked golf balls and to have the audacity to ask for payment after forgetting to tell me that there would be extra charge definitely made the whole experience pretty sour.

They have made lots of improvements, the machines and classes have only gotten better. My only issue is with the locker rooms. It always feels a bit awkward to shower here, with no place to put my locker key and the water getting all over the floors. Regardless, the gym is clean, modern, and expansive for my needs. The community at South Pas is also strong.

This place is awesome!! It’s got everything you need for a good workout. 3 squat racks, a smith machine and 3 platforms for you Olympic lifters. Plenty of machines and they have spin, and a big open area for calisthenics. You can schedule some time in the infrared sauna and the cafe is amazing. The staff is all so friendly and accommodating. I’ve been to gyms all over the country and this is definitely top 5.
The machines are also spaced well enough to maintain your distance from other people if that’s still an issue for you.

For the longest time I thought any gym would be an intimidating place, but South Pas Fitness has changed my mind. I wouldn’t have joined this gym (or any gym for that matter) but for a friend’s unequivocal recommendation. And was she right! All staff at South Pas Fitness are extremely friendly and helpful. Group classes like Zumba with Isabel Rivas and Yoga with Cindy Mendoza are amazing and fun-filled.
The person most instrumental in guiding me to get healthier and stronger is a personal trainer, Chris Eicher. Chris radiates passion for fitness and working with others. He has several certifications in personal training and fitness, and he continues seeking self-improvement to better serve his clients. He documents all his clients’ progress (in fact he knows how much I’ve improved better than I do). He constantly raises my limits but is encouraging, compassionate, and never pushy. Chris modifies each session to fit my physical condition of the day and to make it challenging and fun. I can arrive at a training session completely stressed out about work but always manage to leave with a smile on my face.
Even though I’ve only worked with Chris for the past 3 months, the results are real. I can feel muscles building on my arms and legs. And now that I’m gaining strength, it makes other group exercise classes easier to follow, too. I find myself looking forward to working out—which was impossible only a short 3 months ago. I can’t thank Chris enough! I recommend South Pas Fitness—and especially Chris—to anyone.

So happy I found this place!! I joined in the beginning of 2021 and the gym keeps getting better and better with a lot of great amenities (red light sauna, boxing room with heavy bags, towel service, juice bar, etc.). I love all the classes, especially cycling with Chase and the heavy bag kickboxing class. I also started working with a trainer there- his name is Chris Eicher, he’s amazing! I’ve been working with him for a few months, and I’ve been getting a crazy amount of attention these days and constant comments about my body and how good it looks 😂 it’s awesome!! I highly recommend this gym, and if you’re looking for a personal trainer definitely try to get Chris.

SPF is a great gym. Clean, orderly, plenty of equipment/squat racks/platforms for lifting to keep wait times nearly nonexistent (unless you are in for morning cardio). Great staff, and the coffee and juice bar has a wide and tasty selection.
There will be goofballs at every gym you go to, and somehow this place even keeps that to a minimum. Well worth the membership fee.

I like the convenience of South Pas fittness, the equipment is mediocre, it's not overly crowded however members don't follow rules posted to wear their mask at All times they will pull their mask down under their chin while on the treadmill. Members will leave plates on the bars after they use the equipment or they will leave the plates on the bar to hold their spot while going else where to do another machine and get angry at a person attempting to use the machine being held up. Spray bottles with disinfectant is either missing, empty or clogged up and not working. Members will do a set get up stand next to the machine to text and hold up the machine do another set stop and text again mean while holding up the machine for 5- 15 mins. Minimal Gym Etiquette.

Beautiful new construction. Gorgeous design. Only took one class (pilates) so I'm not sure about the weights or workout equipment. Parking lot is a little awkward to negotiate especially at night. What looks like an entrance is chained off which can be hard to see at night.

This gym is interesting. It has alot of good things that they offer but in addition to that, there are somethings that you kind of wonder if its worth the price. So to begin with, the space that this gym is on is huge. They have a huge body building section as well as a moderate weight lifting section. On the weightlifting section their platforms are amazing and to couple with pretty awesome bumper plates.
In addition to that, they have an amazing bathroom and the coffee bar section is pretty awesome especially for someone like me who likes working out in the wee hours of the morning.
Like i said before, the space is big and when am there i feel safe especially during this covid pandemic period. People there tend to actually mask up and they seem to respect the rules of the gym.
However, there are some things that i think this gym needs to improve on. For one they only have 2 squat racks and one of them is not even a full squat rack. The actual squat rack is one of those with pull up bars on them and it kind of common to see members actually not doing squats, rather using the pull up bar for a wod type workout. This means that if you need to do squats, you largely need to wait for them to be done which can be a time suck. In addition to that, the squat rack sees alot of traffic. Seems like there is always someone trying to squat or squatting including the personal trainers.
The other issue i find with the gym is that they have a very similar vibe to the local 24 hr fitness but almost charging the rates of a crossfit box. Last year, i believe it was about $80 but at the beginning of the year it was bound to be hiked to $105. Gyms around this place tend to charge atmost $65. Dont get me wrong they have quite a bit of equipment but not $105 worth a month. If they invested a lot more on the weightlifting section added a few more items i.e additional squat racks, risers, weightlifting blocks etc, i absolutely would be willing to pay the money and even a bit more. I just find it very similar to a 24 hr fitness/ golds gym to justify the price.
Honestly its a good gym for people who are just starting out or trying to transition say from body building to powerlifting. But its not a great gym for people who for instance have specialized in powerlifting and need equipment for it.

I just went there for a tour and it is amazing. There is 10,000 Sq of indoor space and 10,000 Sq of outdoor space. The indoor space looks very nice. They have a nice variety of workout machines and weights. As well as everything being distanced. Some of the inside is still under construction but all the complete areas are very nice. They also have many different classes. For example they have cycle, Zumba, yoga, etc. Overall I highly recommend atleast going for a tour of the place to see if it is for you.
