Hi all!
I've been using Classpass for about 2 months now. Before I joined, I worked out regularly but just lacked motivation a lot of the time. I got so bored with going to the gym all the time, so I trained for a half marathon. But by the time I ran that, I was bored with running. I needed someone to push me. That's where classpass came in! I love it because it motivates me to get to class. You're charged a $20 fee if you cancel/don't show up 12 hours before the class starts. This gives me the motivation to actually attend classes. Since joining, I've lost a few pounds and gotten a lot stronger. I really like spinning, strength training, and yoga. Since I've tried out a TON of new studios in the Los Angeles area, I thought I would start doing some reviews of the ones I have tried.
Today, I'll share my top class for each of my favorite workouts:
Spinning = House of Fitness with Aldo [Culver City] or FlyWheel [West Hollywood]
I love House of Fitness in general - for both their spin classes AND their strength training classes. Aldo's spin class is amazing because he works you out HARD on the bike, but also adds in some strength training during the class (usually abs or arms). You get off the bike for 5-10 minutes to do these exercises. It breaks up the class nicely and it goes by fast. FlyWheel is another great workout. I like that they have the board that tells you how hard you are working in comparison to the rest of the class. It motivates me to not slack off (which can be easy to do in a spin class by simply taking the resistance off). FlyWheel has the best music by far and the atmosphere there is great. Also, they both offer free parking!
Yoga = Red Diamond Yoga [Palms]
Red Diamond is the best kept secret in Palms. Don't be fooled by the outside strip mall, the studio is so cute and relaxing. It always smells so good and they provide you with refreshing eucalyptus towels after each workout. They have so many classes and times to choose from - from beginner to yin yoga with massage (yes, you read that correctly). The environment is super welcoming as well. They have a free parking lot.
Strength Training/Circuit = Burn 60 [Brentwood]
This workout is my favorite! You alternate between circuit training on the floor and then running/sprinting on the treadmill. I feel like I get a really good workout in every time I go to Burn 60. If you park in the giant lot across the street, you get free parking. I wish they had showers, but that is my only complaint about the studio.
