I highly recommend Body Maxx, especially for those who have not had much success at other gyms and/or with other trainers. I started training at Body Maxx eight years ago. My trainer, Boba, has helped me reach all of my fitness goals (I have lost a total of 30 lbs) and is still a consistent source of motivation and inspiration (even after all these years). She and all of the trainers at Body Maxx are expert. The social environment of the gym is friendly and low key. The physical environment is clean with great equipment. There is always something new. The location is GREAT. I run all of my errands nearby and the gym has convenient parking. I can't say enough great things about the place. Before Body Maxx, my "results" never stuck. And, the prices are very good compared to other gyms/trainers. Best deal in L.A.

Pros: Good prices, Up-to-date equipment, Expert staff

After trying just about EVERY trainer & gym in LA, I have found the best private training - at Body Maxx. I been a client at this fabulous gym for over 10 years. Their trainers are by far the most knowledgeable in the city. Their technique is state of the art ( kettleballs, plyometrics, yoga, etc ) And this is the place for EVERYONE! Their motto is "Healthy people are beautiful people". The clients at Body Maxx range in age from the teens to the 90's and in skill from the super fit experts, who want to tweak their performance to the next level, to beginners who have never lifted a weight and don't know how to get started, but know they should! Everyone who walks through the Body Maxx door and makes a commitment to train there will change their lives both mentally & physically, forever. Trust me! They also train actors for films, (Gerald Butler for "300" hell-o!) and have a 90 day make over which makes the "Biggest Loser" look lame. Everyone who works or works out there has such great energy. It's that kind of no nonsense cool place that just works! I bless the day I stumbled in there.

Pros: the best trainers who stay up to date on diet & technique

Cons: this is a GYM - if you want a 'SPA' you're in the wrong place!

I've been training at Body Maxx for over 3 years and I wouldn't want to train anywhere else. Not only do all of the trainers really care about their clients they care for all the other clients as well. All of the trainers are helpful and supportive and always willing to help give new tips or point out another way to do an exercise or movement to give you maximum results. I think what I like best about the gym is that it's a place to not only get in shape physically but mentally as well. Do yourself a favor and stop by and check it out you won't be sorry...although I can't say the same about your muscles they'll hurt for awhile but it will be worth it.

I've trained at Body Maxx for 2 1/2 years and have a great relationship with my trainer, Boba Picaud. The facility is clean, the equipment is organized, and the staff is very friendly. The gym comes equipped with ample free weights, well maintained machines, and unique training devices like TRX suspension trainers, kettle bells, and pilates machines. The space is large enough to move freely and compact enough to move from exercise to exercise without dropping one's heart rate or losing one's focus. Body Maxx's best strength is its training staff. They are dedicated to fitness and work with every client to tailor a workout program to best suit their needs and goals. The sessions are always challenging and are never the same workout twice. I always leave with a sense of accomplishment, knowing that I'm in better shape leaving the gym than when I walked in. The price is great, too. However, considering the benefits I get from my workouts, I think it's a steal. The gym is never crowded, either. I've never waited for equipment, machines, towels, showers, etc. Body Maxx is worth every penny.

Pros: Staff, clean facilities, excellent value

I have been a member of Body Maxx for 3 years and joining was the best decision I have ever made. I have been to several gyms in LA but I immediately knew BODY MAXX was different the minute I stepped in the door. No long lines for machines, trainers that encourage you, a great selection of weights and cardio machines, etc. I have taken advantage of the one-on-one private training sessions, nutrition counseling and boot camp classes. I used to dread working out, but BODY MAXX is an oasis in the middle of LA. It is centrally located, easy to find parking, and everyone is friendly. It has truly transformed my body!

Pros: Best trainers in L.A.

Body Maxx is a beautifully kept private gym, and has all the equipment you could need. The best thing about it for me is the feeing that I am going to a gym where I know that the trainers, all of them, are looking out for me and really care if I am reaching my goals and that I am always challenging myself. Boba, the owner, is so very caring, as are all the trainers, and she really makes every effort to be supportive and encouraging, going out of her way at every opportunity to help me, helping me to really love my body, and improving my quality of life. The nutritional counseling also helped me really stay on target and learn how to approach food in the right way. I can't imagine going any where else to work out. I have been a member for over four years.

Pros: Caring atmosphere, latest equipment, challenging knowledgeable trainers

Cons: N/A

I have been a client of Body Maxx for almost two years. Body Maxx is a warm, friendly, serious gym with outstanding personal trainers. I work out with my trainer Brian Abecrombie three days a week. The work out routines he sets up for me are extremely challenging and very rewarding. The gym and locker room are immaculately clean and it has all the latest work out equipment. The gym is at a convenient location and has excellent parking.
