Club P-fit

Hi I am George from Spain. I spent 2 weeks in Venice on November 2009 and I was looking for a fitness center near my hostel. I like very much to train and be fit and if I miss a trainday I am sad and angry with myself. During 2 weeks I trained at personally fit, that place owns very good and modern facilities, if somebody does not get strong or fit it is because he does not want, fitness center offers you all the possibilities ways.
Staff was very kind, friendly and warm, they like to talk with people who trains. Inside there was a nice atmosphere. When I came back to venice I will join again that fitness center.
I recommend it, it will not disapoint you. Why don't you try it?

Pros: Good facilities and nice staff

Posted 11/25/09

An elitist NYSC member transplanted to LA I sampled every gym from Sepulveda to Speedway. LA Sports Club, Bodies in Motion, Ballys, 24 Hr Fitness and even muscle beach. In Venice, Gold's seems like the natural choice (it groomed our governor afterall). However, after a brief stint in that over-crowded, undercleaned ego-machine, I found the gym I was looking for. P FIT on Lincoln Boulevard.

The highly personalized attention from expert staff has revolutionized my relationship to fitness. Kevin, Brian, Carl and Michael are the first to congratulate me on a workout well done, but more specifically notice if (when) I cut a few reps, or minutes of cardio.

For goal-driven individuals, the techno-fit equipment is unparalleled. Upon membership you are given a "Key" that keeps track of calories burned, miles ran and weights lifted. Each machine remembers your personal settings and records your progress and performance.

If a more personal approach is what you seek, training sessions with expert advisors will get you red carpet (reunion, date, summer) ready in NO time (these guys DONT mess around!).

If the aforementioned gushing testimonial isn't enough to at least peek your interest, the three total deal breakers for me were:

1)Cost (monthly rates breakdown to less than a latte a day)

2) Treadmill/Elliptical Availability (I've never ONCE waited, nor been asked to evacuate any cardio equipment)

3) Amble parking (When I have an hour in the morning, I have an hour, not an hour + another 20 minutes to find parking).

You can be in and out w/ 500 calories burned and a pat on the back before your friend at Gold's has found a spot and scored a stairclimber!

Happy Health!

Pros: Paramount Staff, Advanced Equipment, Expansive Layout

Cons: N/A

I used a few trial passes at other local gyms and was pretty disappointed. When I found P-Fit I knew immediately that my search was over. The cost is higher than the other gyms but worth every penny because I now go 6 days a week. I am pretty new to working out in a gym and was initially fearful that I would be intimidated but that never happened here. During my free training sessions, Carl taught me how to properly use all the equipment and customized a workout plan for me that I could change and update as I progressed. And the little smart key totally keeps me from cheating on my reps! Another small detail that I like is that it is not a meat market. I can walk in, put on my ipod and focus on my workout without interruptions and small talk.

Pros: Clean, Top Equipment, Towel Service

Cons: Classes cost extra

Club P-Fit is the best gym I ever joined. I actually hate working out but this gym made it fun! Everything is customized there. When you join you receive a smart key that has your personal workout saved on it. It is like having your own personal trainer at each workout.

The gym itself it is not crowed like many other LA gyms. Also each cardio machine has a personal TV and music system so you can watch your favorite program or listen to your favorite tunes while working out.

The staff is friendly and helpful as well. It is a great place to keep in shape!

Pros: Not crowded, customized workout

Cons: None

Posted 11/15/09

The friendly staff, excellent modern cutting edge workout equipment, a variety of classes (from bodysculpting to yoga). Super clean showers and locker rooms, great parking.

I have been a previous member of Bally's, 24 hour Fitness and Crunch, and because of my business I am an active member at World's Gym in Palm Springs and New York as well.

It took me a while to find the right gym that fits all my needs. Clup P-fit is the best and by far my most favorite place to work out.

Pros: Not crowded, friendly, knowledgable staff, ample parking

Cons: Truly none

I have been struggling with my body for years - trying different gyms, trainers, diets, etc. I am a working actress who was always looking for the next hot trend to get the body I wanted. Nothing worked and I was always giving up - until I joined P-Fit. I started working with Michael - who is the best trainer I have ever worked with. Not only am I thrilled with the massive results I'm seeing but I actually ENJOY the gym itself: the staff, the members, the TOP-NOTCH equipment, and the overall energy of P-Fit!

Posted 10/28/09

I am thoroughly enjoying the club, far more than a year ago. I am working out in many different dimensions and the progress in my physical and mental development is tremendous. Everyone at the club is extremely courteous and polite, as well as very knowledgeable whenever I have a question. P-Fit club is one of the most unique clubs in the city and i enjoy the fact that there are not too many people so that it gets too crowded. I am currently r\training with a trainer and I am experiencing more development in my body than I ever have.

Pros: Not crowded, clean, friendly

Cons: None

Posted 10/28/09

Club P-Fit is a first class facility. I've known the trainers at Club P-Fit for over 10 years, and Kevin, Michael, Brian and Carl are the best trainers in Los Angeles. The staff greets everyone by their first name. My husband, son and daughter are also members of Club P-Fit. The facility, including the equipment and bathrooms, is always spotless. Because of the number of weight and cardio machines, there is never a wait to use one. We also love the Kinesis classes. My entire family is getting in shape at P-Fit!

Pros: Tons of free parking

Cons: None

Posted 10/26/09

Club P-Fit is by far and away the best Gym in Los Angeles. Cutting edge Equipment from Techno-Gym, featuring personalized smart drives that are programmed by Personal Trainers, so that the minutia of working out is removed and one can focus on their workout and exercise freely. The Gym is also spotless. No weirdos either. Personal Trainers are knowledgeable, personable and huge Laker fans.

Pros: Top Trainers, Top Equipment, Clean, Sophisticated.

Cons: None.

Posted 10/26/09

Joining P-Fit took me from fat, chubby and ashamed of my body to super lean and fit. I thought I knew everything about weight loss. Clearly they know more. Everything changed as soon as I walked in their door.
No kidding, the trainers at P-Fit know things no one else knows. I'm so lucky I found this place. I am so grateful to know that I never have to be fat again.
Plus, it's carpeted, clean and you don't get the swine flu every time you touch a piece of cardio equipment. Can't say that about many other gyms in LA, right?

Pros: smartest personal trainers & most modern gym in town

Cons: not a scene (if that's a con to you)

Posted 10/25/09

I have been a member for many years and used the personal training available from the beginning. I thought I knew something about resistance training and nutrition when I started, but I was amazed at how much misinformation I had to unlearn and how exciting it was to learn how to use the equipment properly. The nutritional counseling is outstanding. The trainers are knowledgable and friendly. Clean locker rooms. Never crowded. Completely first class.

Pros: Sophisticated high tech equipment and highly qualified staff

Cons: None

Posted 10/25/09

Very clean, very friendly and personable staff, always available to assist. Never crowded and not your typical meat market Bally's type club. Always parking available.

Pros: Never a wait for equipment, friendly staff

Cons: Cost

Posted 10/06/09

I have recently joined this gym and couldn't be happier. The staff is friendly and so helpful and the equipment is amazing--high-tech and really helps you maximize your workout. The personal training is like no other--you feel taken care of and the focus of the session.

The staff cares about your well being and does everything to help you reach your goals. It's not crowded, the atmosphere is positive, and I'm frankly excited to work out there! I was a member of 24-Hour Fitness in Santa Monica and really disliked the old, rusty equipment and crowds. Working out was no longer fun and positive. But that's now changed with Personally Fit. Check this gyn out! I cannot speak highly enough about it. Worth every penny.

Pros: Helpful, friendly staff; clean, high-tech equipment; free parking

Posted 02/25/09

Having been to several gyms, Personally Fit is clearly superior in terms of quality of equipment and staff. The vibe is very warm and welcoming, with a staff of trainers that are approachable and constantly available. This is definietly not a meat-head gym! Not only is this facility extremely clean and artistically desgined, the equipment is new, and user friendly. Additionally, this is one of the FEW gyms in SoCal to offer Kinesis classes, which strengthens your whole body while incorporating cardio! These classes are only about a half hour to forty minutes, and I left the class feeling like I got a hard complete work out! Carl makes the class fun and challenging by pushing you to your potential without making it discouraging. The trainers are all extremely knowledgable and happily offer sound advice to clients about reaching their fitness goals. The overall atmosphere is personable, friendly, and unintimidating. As we know, it is hard to come by a high-end club that isn't pretnetious. Personally Fit has succesfully found that balance.

BEST NEW GYM IN VENICE? Yes. Trust me, I have searched far and wide for a good gym for my wife and me that fit all our criteria: good location, good parking, good staff, good equipment and clean. We found everything we were looking for in PERSONALLY FIT. The combination of ample parking, friendly and capable staff, and new equipment was, in fact, better than we had hoped for. We highly recommend this gym. Give it a try, you may decide to join. Oh, and did I mention that it was clean and well run? With hours that fit everyone's needs? OK, you can probably tell that I am sold on the place. if you are looking for a new gym to get in shape, or stay in shape or to fufill that new year's resolution, then I suggest you try Personally Fft for a week. Tell them "BR" sent you.

Posted 02/05/09

Can't speak highly enough of this club. It has the versatility to cater to each person's individual needs - personal training or a more do-it-yourself approach using their computerized key system . The staff is unfailingly welcoming, helpful, supportive and committed to the success of their members. The facility is comfortable, clean and spacious. I highly recommend Cub P.fit whatever your current fitness level.

Posted 01/26/09

I joined this gym about 1 year ago. I had belonged to many gyms but never used the memberships. I always felt very uncomfortable being so out of shape and not fitting in with the crowd. At PF it doesn't matter if you fit in or not. They are there to help you obtain your goals. The trainers work directly with you and plan a workout routine that works for you. You don't get bored with it because they remind you to switch it up. The machines and facility are very well maintained and clean all the time. The new classes they offer, Yoga and Kenetics are a lot of fun and really interesting. They don't care that you've never done this sort of thing before, they encourage you and help you. I love going to the gym. At 46 years old, I never ever thought I'd hear myself say those words. Thank you everyone at Personally Fit for helping me work on getting healthy again.

Pros: Clean, friendly people, great location

Cons: The larger parking lot needs more light for early morning arrivals

Posted 01/26/09

Personally Fit is a fabulous gym. I have never belonged to a gym that I even liked, let alone loved, and I LOVE this gym. The staff is friendly and knowledgeable. They know their club member's names and workouts. If you are on a machine and a trainer sees that your form isn't right, they stop and help you. A mini training session for free! Some people might call that hovering, but I call that a commitment to your fitness.
The computerized key system on all of the machines makes your workout so easy. Gone are the days of carrying around a cheat sheet with weights, reps, etc. (Am I the only one that did that?) All of the cardio machines have direct TV. One episode of my favorite crime show and I've done an hour of cardio without thinking twice! And I have never waited for a machine.
All of the facilities are spotless. The lockers are digital and towels are provided, so no need to carry a lock and towel in your gym bag. Just bring yourself and your earphones and you are set to go!
Everything about this gym is so easy, you end up going regularly and that makes it worth the money. You get what you pay for definitely applies here. Go in for a tour and see for yourself!

Pros: Hi tech machines/ great staff

Posted 07/09/08

"I absolutely love this gym. This gym is for people who do not like the typical gym scene. If you are not looking for a class act gym, this is not the gym for you.

I really like the personal attention you get the minute you walk in the door.
You never have to wait for a machine. I am one of those people who usually do not like doing cardio for more than 20 minutes but since all of their cardio equipment has flat screen televisions and I find myself able to go for an hour while watching my favorite reality shows. :)
I usually join a gym and after a few weeks I stop going because I get frustrated with keeping up to my weight machine program. At this gym the key system makes it so easy to stay on track.

To sum things up, if you want a gym to go to that has a nice warm and friendly vibe with the best equipment in the city along with great great assistance this is the one.

One more important thing I left out is there is plenty of FREE parking which is a bonus.

I have been a member of "Personally Fit" since August 2007 and I highly recommend this gym to anyone looking for a place to work out. I was a cardio girl and now because of the staff at "PF" I feel very comfortable working out on the weight equipment at the gym. Yes, they do walk around and correct my mistakes, but I am thrilled that there is someone who cares enough to do it when I am not paying for a training session. The equipment brings technology to the work out world and for people like me who can't remember where to put the seat placement and what weight I am supposed to use, the machine tells me. It is awesome!! The gym is clean, the equipment is state of the art (every cardio machine has directv) and the staff is not only friendly but they know what they are doing!!

In all honesty, I had to think about the cost when I called the gym but after joining I have never thought about it again! I use it 5 days a week and when you figure out that costs you about 6.00 a visit...seems pretty easy to say YES!!!

If you want a gym where you can get help with your overall fitness, find a friendly face and know you will not have to fight for time on a machine (or a parking space)...go to "PF"!! I promise you, you will not regret it and you will love the results!!!!

Pros: New equipment, Expert Staff

Posted 03/03/08

I was a member of this gym for a couple of months. They were always completely empty (it doesn't seem they have many members) and because of this they lurk around while you are working out say 4 staff members to 2 customers... hard sell on their classes and training (which are not included in your $100 a month membership), and unfortunately they close really early on the weekends 6pm! When I was ready to exit my membership they weren't willing to work with me even though I had paid my last months service in advance. If you like arguing, being hung up on and paying for it then this might be a good gym for you.

Pros: New Equipment

Cons: Staff, Cost, Hours

This gym is great. I was looking for a smaller gym, not the typical large gym with a million members and finally found one! I hated my old gym (an LA Fitness) because there were lines for the cardio machines and a 20 minute limit - everyone knows you need to be on the cardio machine for at least 30 min! This gym is very high tech, great equiptment and very very clean. The locker rooms are clean and brand new, every thing is new. The lockers are digital, the work out equiptment is digital, and everyone who works there is so friendly. The best part - tons of FREE parking and MONTH to MONTH membership. I encourage everyone to check out this new gem of a gym!

Pros: Tons of free parking, month to month membership, super clean

Cons: Licoln Blvd is very busy
