Yard Training Center

The Yard has been around forever and has all the best equipment. Im there everyday and love it. Dont expect to go in there and be sitting on equipment looking at your cellphone like other gyms unless your prepared to be embarrassed by everyone in there working their asses off. Bring your will, humility, positive attitude, and become badass. Troll, Arqum, and Luiz will push you to your limits and make you believe you can surpass them. Thanks you for supporting me and pushing me so hard guys. TEAM
Also the Sorinex equipment in there is ridiculously awesome! Come do work!

I’ve always had a great experience at The Yard. The knowledgeable and friendly staff makes the difference! From families to athletes, it’s where to go to get the training you need.

The Yard has been a sanction for the mind, body, and spirit for over 20 years. Troll and Luiz own and operate the gym. They are both knowledgeable, dedicated and driven to continuously improve the facility. A positive vibe greets guests and members every time they walk through the door. As a lifetime fitness enthusiast I can claim that the Yard is the best training environment I have ever experienced. A community of happy fellow trainees provide the foundation for achieving fitness goals. Give the Yard a try and reap the benefits.

Extremely professional! Has everything I need in an ideal location for me to maintain a high level during my beach volleyball season. My competition schedule is grueling and The Yard allows me to train with great integrity, privacy and flexibility. I love being a part of this elite community.

All equipment is top of the line. Trainers and owner are very knowledgeable, personable, and caring. Great place to work out!!!

Never a bad training day at The Yard. The owner «Troll» is continuously upgrading the facility. It’s also across from the beach making it a perfect spot to transition into some footwork on the sand. It’s no coincidence that our two time Stanley Cup champions The Los Angeles Kings work out here! Thanks for your continued support Troll!

The Yard is our «HOME» gym! My kids have grown up going to The Yard and have each received «sport specific» training for club, high school and college athletics. My college athletes come home and immediately check in with their trainers at the Yard… the off-​season is so important for them! Troll and Leslie have not only trained my kids, but have mentored them, encouraged them and given them the tools they need to reach their athletic goals. Troll started training my kids when they were pretty young… he used to call them the YARDIGANS… the best testimony to this Gym is that those little Yardigans keep coming back to The Yard and they are not so little anymore!

Protect Your Team. Be Early. No Excuses.
The Yard is a no frills, old school training facility with state of the art equipment, systems and training techniques. Troll and team have been mentoring elite athletes, weekend warriors and kids for over two decades. Their focus on mind, body and soul produces more well rounded athletes of all levels.
If you’re the type that enjoys a good gossip mag while working out, having someone pick up after you, and sharing your new cologne with the entire gym, this place is not for you.

Simply the best gym in the South Bay for everyone from athletes to weekend warriors. It has everything you need; high quality machines, never overcrowded, and always clean. The very knowledgeable staff and friendly/​focused clientele provide a positive and motivating environment for kids and adults, men and women.

Pro athletes, weekend warriors, Olympic medalists and hopefuls, high school stars and current NCAA players, children and Executive aging was ben’s trying to relive the moment, (that’s me) this unique Gym has it all. Part therapy room, healing spot, or just plain old hard core exercise facility. Really difficult to pigeon whole why this place is so unique in the overcrowded gym space I’d say it’s the people. The individuals that run the joint. Troll unique and amazing man, tells it like it is, can be gruff, but amazing with children and Elite athletes alike. Gets the kids, yours and mine, and is training their entire being. Mind body and soul! Old school values instilled in them. He’s worked with my four kids! Invaluable advice given to them that they won’t listen to from me their Dad! Luiz a former Mr. Olympia adds top info and his energy alone draws you back over and over. Arqum and Leslie are all critical elements that train the athletes at the highest level. This place has saved me big on my medical insurance, lol, and I am so great full that this business exists. This review might seem a bit over the top but what you are reading is FACTS not Feelings.

Awesome local spot to work out. Close to the beach and right smack dab in the center of town, you will feel like you’re right at home. Very friendly staff and the place is always spic and span clean. If you’re looking for a mega size (franchise style) gym, this is not for you. On the other hand… If you’re looking for a quick work out where you can slip in and slip out then hit the beach for a post workout ocean swim… This IS. The place for you!

Spent many years working out in the yard, love the vibe in there and great people all around. It’s like a dojo of greatness, lead by the man the myth the legend, TROLL.

The owner and other trainers are exceptional working with kids! Not just the exercises that will make them better athletes BUT the mentorship to make them a better teammate and better person. This is also true for professional athletes. I have worked out there for 15 years alongside many players from the LA Kings, the Lakers, the Patriots, Olympic athletes, top touring tennis players, professional volleyball players and many many more elite athletes. They come there because of the trainers and because they get left alone to train.
It feels like home to me and I wouldn’t workout anyplace else. It is NEVER crowded.

Love coming here you get a real workout in a real gym. Don’t be fooled they have state-​of-​the-​art equipment with state of the art training. these trainers are real athletes.
Where else can you get a great workout and then jump in the ocean. Not to mention healthy food options nearby.
Check it out you will not be disappointed

Great gym. All of the latest equipment and technology. No BS members like the major chains. In and out, no crowd.

Came in while I was on my lunch break to inquire about rates etc. the guy sitting at the front door yelled at me as I walked back further into the gym and mistook me for a salesman and immediately turned me off to the entire establishment. If someone can be that rude before meeting and giving me a moment to explain myself I do not want to support a business who employs rude ppl. This guy was older slightly overweight and extremely rude!

What a great gym at a a great location! Small and quaint with all the facilities you need to get a great work out and feel GOOD! «Troll» the owner is FUNNY and very welcoming which makes the work out all the better.
Great treadmills for a good run and the best part is that it’s CLEAN and doesn’t have that rundown stinky gym feel.
I LOVE the YARD Training Center!!!

Tues., 2÷26÷13: Walked into this Hermosa Beach Gym; supposedly it has NHL and NFL clients who train there. I arrived near closing time just to gather information on costs, etc. The gym was empty when I walked in, including no employee evident.
I looked around closely and there was a short dude with duct-​tape on his shirt sitting in an electric style parking meter cart at curbside. I asked him «do you work here», and the guy glared at me without an answer and said «what do you need?» I repeated, «do you work here, there’s nobody obviously attending to the gym»? He repeated nastily, «What do you need»? in a raised voice/​nasty attitude… He apparently matches some of the photos on their Website, so he does indeed work there; whomever is he is — He should be terminated/​fired immediately for being an A**hole to a customer.
If this gym is only for snobby NFL/​NHL types, then post it on the door so us real people will go elsewhere. What a jackass piece of crap business.
Owners: If this is your employee; fire him. If the Jackass owns the gym; then go back to your high school gym where you belong.

Basic, no nonsense, quality gym. And then they have placed the treadmills in the windows to give you some distraction while working out. (great people watching)
