Sweat City Fitness

These guys work you hard but efficiently. Can’t beat it! Willing to help with all stages of fitness, including amazing fitness consultant!

Just an excellent gym overall!
The classes are intense and you will get an incredible workout. And yes, the classes are only 30 minutes long, but you will get a lot in, within those 30 minutes — and because of that, your heart rate will be high (which is good). In terms of pure exercise, the 30 minute class here is pretty comparable to the amount of work you would get in a 60 minute class — so for tight schedules this is a great spot.
Overall, the class structure here is great and the variances of exercises are very beneficial. I remain a loyal client!

I am so happy and grateful to have found Sweat City Marina del Rey (and Santa Monica). I was north of 50 and in beyond-​terrible shape when I began, but since I’ve been attending their circuit training classes for about 14 months now, I am much fitter (and happier) and cannot imagine life without them. The circuit training classes are amazingly small (less than 6 people!) and are very personalized. The training is never too easy, and never too stupidly intense. The trainers know their shit, and are extremely attentive to each member of the class: they will carefully watch how you are performing each exercise and make helpful adjustments and suggestions (and will also tailor/​adjust each exercise to accommodate any individual’s aches and injuries). To boot, the trainers are also FUN people!
After years of my wasting time and money at an over-​priced high-​end fitness club which shall go unnamed (and which had overcrowded classes), for the first time in my life, I look forward to exercising! Thank you Sweat City and to trainers Chris, Zac, Corey and Carter. You are all amazing.

Love this studio!!! It was such a good workout for only 30 minutes and any variations you need for injuries or to add an extra challenge are available. Tons of equipment to use. Chris is such a positive trainer and makes you feel confident and motivated the whole time!

I have been to Corey and Chris’s classes. I think both of these guys are awesome. Friendly, helpful. I love how the workout changes, keeps me interested,…and working different muscles. I highly recommend this place to anyone who likes a quick and fun workout that seems to be just the right amount of challenge. Music is good too! Started with them as soon they moved to my neighborhood and continue going to them. Best Circuit training class I have been able to find after my gym in MDR closed several years ago.

First time visitor today via ClassPass. The instructor was Corey, and he was absolutely great. Corey was very welcoming, and explained all the circuit exercises clearly. The workout was awesome, it was simple, but very challenging. I would recommended this to folks who want to get a full-​body workout in 30-​minutes. Thanks — Christian

I highly recommend Easy Fitness! I did their 6 week challenge and lost 20 pounds in 6 weeks thanks to the great meal plans and ongoing training. It was exactly what I needed to get motivated to be healthier. I’d recommend it for anyone who had been struggling to lose weight and is looking to see results.
Update: it was much harder to receive reimbursement for the challenge than it should have been.

This place GETS IT. In this crazed world, forget the idea of hour-​long classes. You only need an efficient, powerful 30-​minute workout to get you in shape. Great location and trainers. Wish there were more places like this.

If you’re looking for great results at an affordable price, I definitely recommend Easy FItness. The trainers and nutrionists are top notch — super knowledgeable and friendly! Give this place a try, you won’t be disappointed!

I’ve added the fifth star because since my review they’ve added nutrition back in and updated some of the equipment. I really do love going here.

I really loved the structure of easy fitness. 30 minute classes 3 times a week, great instructors. However, the actual cost to continue the program was way too much for the average person. The program costs $ 299 a month if you commit to 3 times a week for at least 3 months. When you do the math that’s about $ 25 a class. As for the nutrition part of it, it is basically non-​existent. It’s just a little too expensive for the common person.

Just started working out at this place and have officially had only two classes here… I cannot say enough about the two trainers I have worked with. Hard work out catered to each individual’s ability… Love love love this place!

I have been working out at Easy Fitness for over three years and I still love it. I always get a great, high energy workout. All of the trainers that I have worked with are terrific, but I am particularly impressed with my trainer Meira. Not only is she high energy, she manages to know everyone’s issues (if you have any) so you get the best work out possible. I work out at 6:00am and she is always there with a smile and has a great sense of humor. They all watch every exercise you do and make the necessary corrections. With their help, I am stronger than when I started and have managed to keep my weight under control. I have never been able to accomplish this through personal trainers or any group class I have taken, and I’ve exercised all my adult life.
NOW they have added Nutritional Consultant, Debra Peri, that really takes it up a notch. It’s a win win situation there and if you are serious about getting in shape or losing weight I highly recommend that you give them a try. You won’t be sorry and it is worth every penny!!!

Love the small classes! It’s incredible what they fit into 30 minutes. You don’t think you’re going to be dripping in sweat and muscles fatigued at the end, but you are. It is the best, quickest and friendliest facility that I’ve found in the Los Angeles area.
Professional, exceptional, knowledgeable, friendly and they work you hard to get you where you want to be!

I just finished a 3 week package with Easy Fitness in MDR. Believe it or not, they do make it EASY and FUN! The staff is very friendly, motivational and always greets with a smile. I worked out with Brian — he is an amazing trainer! …always watching your form and encouraging you to do just 1 more so that you get the results you want. He is energetic and friendly and I wish I could train with him all of the time!
The work outs are perfect — the 1^st half hour is a circuit consisting of about 5 stations. You go through the stations for anywhere from 30 – 60 second intervals — the work out add up, but never get boring!
When you are done completing the circuit about 4 times, you move over the cardio station which has 3 bikes, a treadmill, and a stair stepper.
All of the machines are in good condition, it is a clean facility — it will get you back on track and on your way to a healthier you with out ever having to step foot into a big gym where its all about you making your own workout and pushing your self through the motions.
Go for it!

Join now! It will not only change your body but your mind!
Great place to get results.
Friendly stuff and very knowledgeable and supportive.
Brian and Meira are the best team of fitness trainers!

I have been an Easy Fitness client since April of 2010. I was getting married in two months and I needed to get in shape. I called Easy Fitness, spoke to David (the owner), told him I was getting married in two months and he had me go in that same night. He did a fitness assessment, gave me a crash course in their nutrition plan and I started the next day. Let me be clear about something, I had not worked out regularly for about seven years and I dreaded workouts. I had tried Curves and it did nothing for me. So I was not very optimistic about getting results but I needed to try to look good on my wedding day.
My goal was to lose 10 pounds by my wedding. By my wedding day I had lost 15 pounds! Not only had I lost the weight, but I felt strong and I felt amazing. I liked my body (which was a first for me). Kevin (the head trainer) taught me that losing weight is not rocket science. Stick to the nutrition plan and workout and the weight comes off. The nutrition plan is so practical and easy to follow. By July of 2010 I had lost a total of 20 pounds.
The trainers are great. Kevin, Maurice, Brian and Sheri were my team and I love all of them. They are supportive and they pushed me to do my best each workout. The trainers know each person’s fitness level and they adjust the weights and exercises accordingly. Easy Fitness made me really like working out. That was a first for me. It shocks me that I now look forward to workouts.
Not only did Easy Fitness get me into great shape for my wedding, but I worked out with them through 6 months of my pregnancy. The trainers, Kevin especially, were very knowledgeable about the do’s and donts of working out while pregnant. I just always felt like they really cared. My baby is now three months old and it has been great to workout again. Losing weight is no longer a daunting thought because Easy Fitness taught me how to lose the weight. and I know I will get back to my goal weight.
Addressing some of the comments some other clients have left:
1. Ease of re-​scheduling: I have a crazy hectic schedule and I have never had a problem re-​scheduling. Kevin is always incredibly understanding when I can’t make it in or have to take another slot.
2. Facilities: It is small but it suits the needs of the workout. I have been a member of a huge gym before but I didn’t lose a single pound. I will take a small facility and a 20 pound weight loss any day. The facility is always clean.
Alright, enough said. I give Easy Fitness my highest recommendation.

The 15 months of EF workouts got in me good enough shape to add Krav Maga Self Defense training to my bucket list. I had no idea that KM was so incredibly intense! This is really hardcore stuff. I am the only over 60 year old that I know of in the beginning level training program, and I am actually keeping up with the, much younger than me, others! I will be adding ‘heavy bag’ training to my program as I need to put more power in my punch. Woo hoo!
I am still taking ballet lessons (another bucket item) and somehow it all fits together. Of course, my evenings are pretty full now with all this activity. If it hadn’t been for Easy Fitness, I would have probably remained at a low level of «fitness», barely able to stretch and walk in the mornings because of my aching back, etc. The muscles and endurance that I developed with EF helped get me into «working order» again and remarkably pain free. Otherwise, I never would have thought to try for something as challenging as what I am now doing! I have purchased a mouth guard and sparring gloves (oh my!), it seems that protective equipment is a very good investment at this level of training.
Another good investment was my time at Easy Fitness!

If your goal is to get fit and trim, then this is THE place for you! It’s gonna cost you, but if you meet them at least halfway, then you are going to lose weight and you will get in shape. Do it, you won’t regret it! You will get in the best shape of your life.
Kevin, Maurice, and Brian are the best team of fitness trainers a girl could ask for! They are friendly, supportive, and WILL let you know if you are doing an exercise incorrectly. They will also push you to perform at a higher level and encourage you to meet your goals, which is something I can’t do alone. Thanks you guys! You are the best!
With a great Bloomspot dealio in hand, I signed on for 12 small group workouts for $ 149. Their regular price is 3X’s more. I expected a bigger, newer place, so was a little disappointed with the facilities but found that the space is adequate for the needs.
1. Call and book an appointment with Kevin and he will assess your current fitness level. He will then weigh and measure you and give you a diet program to follow along with your choice of a workout schedule. You can choose from either twice or three times per week.
2. Each 30 minute circuit of exercises starts at the half hour. I signed up for 6 p.m. and arrived a few minutes early. The 5:30 group was just ending and my group of 4 – 5 women began our circuit right at 6. Once the circuit is done it is followed by 20 minutes on either a treadmill or stationary bike. Routines change each session so you work all muscle groups with plenty of cardio thrown in between.
Bring a towel and bottle of water. They have water there as well.
Sound easy? You should be pouring sweat after the 30 minutes, otherwise, you are not trying hard enough!
3. Follow the diet plan, along with giving your best in the work outs and you’ll drop lbs. fast! I lost 6 lbs in the first couple of weeks.
I added their 3X/​week program to my daily biking and weekly boot camp workouts and got in shape super fast!
I’ll be back in a pinch. Thanks Easy Fitness! I have muscles again!

When I first walked into Easy Fitness I figured it was just going to be another place to «try». Well… try it I did… and LOVE IT I do!!!
Easy Fitness is the «Gazoo» on my shoulder; always pushing me to do my best, to get stronger, and to live healthier. This is going to sound nuts, but I can’t get through the doors fast enough to start my workouts!
The environment is fun, energetic, and the music is always playing.
Easy Fitness is part of my life now, and so are the awesome people I have met there. They helped me lose 40+ lbs. Finally!!!
Thanks y’all! You’re the best!

I decided to try Easy Fitness when I saw how great my friend Lindsay was doing with them and as a surfer, I wanted to get in shape so I could take a surf trip where I would be surfing about 4 hours a day.
I have to say that I was skeptical at first. I didn’t expect to lose weight. But Kevin, Shari & Maurice have helped me lose over 20 lbs. They are committed, professional & supportive and the plan is truly easy and painless to stick with.
I worked with personal trainer in the past and was always sore and he ended up pushing me too hard and I hurt my back. This would never happen at Easy Fitness. All the trainers and the clients make a great atmosphere and I now look forward to working out!

Wow, there is so much to say:
1. The 30 minute workout is perfect! If it was any longer I wouldn’t go back.
2. The support system is there, whether you need support with workouts, stretching, nutrition, vacation workouts; they will give you the tools for you.
3. You build so much muscle and you wont get bored because the circuit is always changing.
4. The atmosphere is warm, welcoming and encouraging; on those hard days when you just don’t want to do, well, there is always someone looking for you, asking about you and emailing you. This creates an atmosphere that makes you responsible for taking care of yourself!
5. GREAT VALUE!
6. I AM ADDICTED to EASY FITNESS!
7. Join now! It will not only change your body but your mind!

I found Easy Fitness during a website search for a small «Bootcamp Fitness» type training. I was at my lowest point emotionally, being tired of failing at starting an exercise program and also struggling with knowing how to change my diet the right way. Motivation was an issue too. And I dread typical large chain fitness center gyms because I feel that once they get your money, you are on your own.
After speaking with the owner and discussing my orthopedic issues I joined in March of 2010. I thought I would try one last time.
I am not gonna lie and tell you it was easy at first, because it wasn’t. Sometimes it was really hard to push through and show up after work when I was tired, sore and feeling like I would never be fit again.
But I stuck with it, I began looking forward to coming to Easy Fitness and working out with the small group of folks that had issues and goals similar to mine.
Even today I sometimes face fitness challenges but I am better able to process and work through them now. Prior to that I would have succumbed to a half gallon of ice cream while sitting in front of the TV.
Along the way, my understanding about what to eat, why and when to eat it has grown; I was never given strict mandates about diet but instead they helped me sort out why I made certain food choices and helped me to find healthier alternatives without leaving me feeling deprived.
With the help of the amazing staff, (thank you Kevin, Sherry, David and others!) and the support of my new workout friends I have nearly reached my fitness goal!
Before joining Easy Fitness, over the years I had trained at 24 Hr Fitness, Gold’s Gym, LA Fitness and trained with a myriad of other personal trainers, including professional body builders but THIS place makes those others pale in comparison because of their knowledge on the latest fitness and scientific studies and the positive and supportive «culture» of the environment in the gym.
What you won’t find at Easy Fitness are Prima Donna attitudes and folks looking for a date, LOL!
Previously I hadn’t been able to achieve the type of results I have achieved at the other places — well maybe for a short term — but not consistently like I am now. It is a great feeling and I am so glad I that I took that first step.
Besides the amazing people that really make Easy Fitness what it is, they are able to tailor my (or anyone’s) workouts to fit my physical limitations (I’ve had a double fusion of the spine at L4/​L5-​L5/​S1) yet still provide me with a challenging workout that gets results without further injury. (and my orthopedic surgeon is very happy about that LOL!)
It has been a challenging road — physically, mentally and emotionally to get fit once again but it is so much sweeter now that I have been able to change so many things. I truly believe that I couldn’t have done it successfully without the help of Easy Fitness. They helped me do it!
So if you are feeling like you don’t deserve success, or are tired of the way you feel, just take that first step. You will be glad you did.

Amazing place! They have totally changed my husband and my life. We’re down to the weight we were in high school, plus we have more energy than ever.
Thank you for giving us lives that are better than we ever could have imagined!

Extremely supportive staff and very educational. Highly recommend.

I started at Easy Fitness February 2010 at 172 pounds, 33% body fat… and I’m a fitness instructor! My wife started there in October 2009 and had seen some pretty strong results with her and I decided I should get in on the action. Long story short, the «easy» part is the nutrition. The workouts are challenging (and are amped up if you need it) and the knowledge base of the instructors cannot be beaten! Kevin and David are amazing, Maurice, Shari, and Brian are very motivating and helpful during the workouts.
By changing the composition and strategy of my food intake, I’ve dropped 10% fat and 30 pounds! And no, I’m not finished…
I thought I was in decent shape before but now I feel strong, fit, capable, and way healthier than ever before. I would recommend Easy Fitness if you’re really ready to make a change and to get off the roller coaster of dieting. THANKS EF!!!

Easy Fitness is a great place for motivation.
Kevin Dorsey is an outstanding trainer and has already helped me lose weight by changing my diet and eating patterns. He really knows what he is doing, has excellent knowledge about nutrition, and made it all lots of fun.
Kevin is engaging and just a super guy.
He listened to me yammer on about my very healthy vegetarian diet, and solved the mystery of losing weight with some simple changes to how/​when/​what I am eating to balance my blood sugar and help my metabolism. The changes: Tofu, eggs, and sometimes a little salmon, eating breakfast and meals in between, and not starving myself until I collapse in a drooling puddle at Chipotle’s doorstep for an emergency burrito @ 9pm. Doing the very very Eeeeeasy workouts @ 8am three times a week, included into my biking and spinning regimen. I feel great!
I have commited to 3 times per week with Easy Fitness, and enjoy working out with everyone!
I miss enjoying red wine (gave it up till I reach my weight loss goals), but I am on the road to healthy weight loss and muscle tone. Next summer, I just might post a Unilocal picture in a bikini.
