Pop Physique

Took my first class on Saturday and it was fun and upbeat. My friend raved about Pop for months and wanted me to try it out. The class was packed and Saturday morning seem very popular ! I would definitely recommend it for a great workout and easy to follow if you are new.

I just tried my first class and LOVED it! Great music, nice and clean environment– definitely looking forward to going back again.

So far this is my favorite Barre Class in West LA. I really like the set up and culture of this location. It’s right next to my job which makes it super convenient for me. I usually attend early in the morning. It’s also located next to some awesome shops, fitness studios and cafes.
After taking my first class I was hooked and told my mom to purchase me an unlimited membership for Christmas. I took the Pop Sculpt class with Shawna W and Ali F. They both were tough and knowledgable instructors. I always feel like I get an intense workout here.
The studio is small, clean and colorful. They only have one restroom with no showers or lockers. The front desk staff has good customer service however, they aren’t too pushy which is refreshing. There is free and easy parking in front of the studio and below the studio. The parking attendant is very friendly also.

This is a great studio with easy parking, fun music, and a kicka** workout! I tend to enjoy classes more than working out on my own, and this studio allows me to zone out during an intense workout with up to date music and great teachers. The workout is similar to Pure Barre and other barre method classes (but just different enough) to make transitioning from another studio easy. I definitely recommend checking out this studio if you live in the Westwood/​Brentwood area.

I love this studio. The workouts really kick my behind and I’m always sore for the following couple of days. The instructors follow a similar routine of arms, legs and abs. Each class is a complete total body workout. I like all the instructors but my favorites are Renee and Natalie.

Absolutely love the workout I get at Pop! My whole body is more tone thanks to this gym and all the amazing instructors!

Pop Brentwood you are 5 stars!
I wanted to branch out and see the other Pop Physique studios (my neighborhood one is Weho) and I’m so glad this is the one I ended up at. Pop Brentwood has by far the friendliest staff, from receptionists to the instructors. Cyn was so welcoming and seems born to teach. She is always clear, concise and upbeat. Her classes are some of the more challenging ones I’ve taken from Pop, but that is the point!
This is a fantastic studio if you are into barre. Come here!

One of my favorite workouts! I’ve been going here for almost a year and can definitely notice the difference in my body. When they promise sculpting, they’re the real deal! I love the various parts of the workout– from the triceps to the booty. The instructors change up the routine per body area so it keeps it exciting. Ali F is my favorite instructor. She mixes up her classes, offers unique workouts, and pushes you to your best. Highly recommend this studio

Barre class at Pop is a must if you are a barre girl! Not only is the studio immaculate but the décor is fun, cute, modern and upbeat all rolled into one. I love working out in a clean, air conditioned room and they are a cut above the rest. The classes are great as well. This is a must for me when I come to LA. Pop is where it is at!

Pop Physique is the best class ever! All of the instructors are awesome. Each class is butt kicking good. It is a must try and then continue to go class.

Pop Physique is a unique full body workout that tones and tightens the entire body. Similar to Pure Bar and Bar Method, there is a regimented routine that all the instructors use in order to have maximum results and happy faces.
I discovered Pop Physique through a living social one day while searching for my next exercise adventure. Ironically, the founder of this operation is from my hometown, Cincinnati, Ohio and it appealed to me because it worked simultaneously with ballet movements I knew and loved.
The Brentwood location is extra special. It is tucked on the corner of Gorham and San Vicente on the second floor. Parking is found underneath the structure and it is #free and accessible. A friendly staff greets you when you walk in and the room is located directly to the right with bathrooms found in the back left corner.
Similar to all the other bare classes, you use a mat, ball and weights, however POP is not as Black and white as it’s other two competitors. Though it does have a blue print that it follows, I like that different teachers have there own flavor that they bring to the classes.
Two of my favorite teachers are Eve and Katherine. I have had others, but they haven’t stood out like these two. Eve has a way to make her classes hard yet approachable with a fun playlist in the background and Katherine is great because she advises and gives you clear instruction when the next set is approaching.
Thank you, Pop physique for giving me reason to get excited about working out and strength training. In the past, I dreaded doing weights and lower body exercises but now I know I can get a fast, intense workout in one hour and I leave feeling strong and satisfied.

Pop Physique was great — first time doing this sort of thing, signed up for a month and I felt like it really paid off. Super intense! More intense than I first anticipated but I felt good at the end of class and sore the next day (progress!).
Very friendly staff, classes aren’t overly crowded, free parking, love to go here and get a work out in after work. Clean, high energy atmosphere — welcome to both beginners and those more advanced (I came in with zero experience, but managed to keep up!).
Overall rewarding experience and a bang for your buck if you take advantage of it. Would recommend.

I LOVE Pop Physique. From the location to the cute studio to the instructors, everything is wonderful. I highly recommend Cyn’s class! She is amazing and pays a lot of attention to form and will help you if you need it without pushing you too hard. It’s like she knows your limit and motivates you to get there. Also Renay is the biggest sweetheart and is just an amazing person. She has a big heart and is truly passionate about fitness and is a huge inspiration. If you are on the fence about trying a class, JUST DO IT and you won’t regret it! :)

I love this place! I highly recommend it for a great workout that flies by.
Before joining Classpass a month ago I had never tried barre, but now I’m hooked. I’ve been to pure barre, exhale, the bar method, and pop physique. While they are all great workouts, pop physique is my favorite!
The studio is bright, beautiful, and clean. The music is upbeat, current, and super fun! My 2 classes with Dana were both intense workouts-​she had a super positive and encouraging attitude and clearly knew what she was doing. I left the studio feeling rejuvenated and excited to come in for the next class!
There is valet parking underneath the building that is validated in the studio. Super convenient. There is only one bathroom that is also used as a changing room, so I recommend getting to class early if you need to change.

Like Sokey L, I had never tried barre until I joined Classpass — I didn’t know what I was missing. I’m not hooked on barre and take classes at lots of studios across West LA. Also like Sokey L, Pop Physique is my favorite.
The studio is bright, clean, inviting, modern and hip. The sound system is surprisingly great and the music is always upbeat and motivating. At times the instructors seemed to be too focused on the music, though, setting up a playlist, switching between songs or playing one song over and over.
Additionally, I’ve found the instructors teaching styles somewhat inconsistent. Some are very attentive and interactive, while others simply go through the motions. Because there are some complicated poses and moves in barre, I like the instructors that are hands-​on and help me make adjustments so I get the most out of the workout. And a workout it is! I had no idea light weights, resistance and such small movements could give me an intense, sweaty, full-​body workout.

I have tried pure barre, cardio barre, bar method and I have to say that Pop Physique is by far my favorite barre studio. The music is always great– loud enough to be motivating and perfect for each sequence of exercises.
All of the instructors are great. Special shout out to Sarah, Ali and Natalie who always kick my butt and are very encouraging.
The studio is very modern and parking is easy. Also no pretentiousness, which is often hard to find in barre studios!

I love this place. I’m new to classes and the instructor’s are so nice and very hands on. It’s simply the best feeling, going into this class and finishing it feeling strong and toned. like I can do anything.
I would highly recommend this place, It’s outstanding. .

I’ve never gone to a barre class prior to this. Thanks to ClassPass, I’ve had the opportunity to try many barre classes throughout the westside, from Pure Barre to Bar Method to Exhale. Without of doubt, Pop Physique is my favorite!
The classes are so fun, engaging, and intense (but doable for all skill levels). And it goes by so quickly! I’m always surprised when class is over. More please!
The music is always upbeat and the instructors work well to the beat with the music. I’ve been to other studios where the music ends randomly in the middle of a rep. This ofttimes is distracting. Here at Pop Physique, is seems like a lot of thought and effort are put into the music selection and the timing and it shows! Or perhaps the instructors are just that good! Catherine and Nikki D are my favorites!
The studio itself is super cute and squeaky clean. I love the light fixtures in the barre room. You get free parking for 90 minutes with validation in the lot downstairs. Arrive early to snag a spot by the mirror!
Highly recommended!

I’ve tried pure barre, bar method, and the dailey method.
I think of all of these I’d say pop physique is one of the more challenging ones so I enjoy it (if your not working your butt off than what are you paying for?). They have a good mix between focusing on intensity and form. It’s less hectic than pure barre but more intense than the bar method. As a millenial I’d also venture to say that they have the best music out of all the barre classes I’ve tried. The studio can get filled up quick so I’d recommend getting there pretty early.
P. S. Free parking!

Since my last review, Renay (the owner) messaged me and offered me another free class if I wanted to try out the studio again. Since I have a class package, I didn’t need it, but the generous offer definitely made a good impression. She also helped clarify where the parking is, so I don’t have to frantically drive around anymore 2 minutes after class started. I did, however, request for the expiration date of my class package to be extended, which Renay graciously obliged with. She really is a business owner who cares about the details of how her business is run and how her customers’ experiences are.
This location has really grown on me. I visited it 3 or 4 more times after my last review, and I now vastly prefer this location over the Santa Monica one. The space seems bigger and the classes aren’t as crowded. I don’t have to worry about hitting other girls when I have to lift my arms to the side! One morning, I went to the studio and ended up being the only person in class (an 8:30am weekday class). This may seem like great news to most people, but I tend to rest a lot, so being the only student put a lot of pressure on me!
Parking is always easy, but I’ve only been coming in the mornings. The worst times that I come at are probably weekends for the 11:00 class. I have had to park in a tandem spot for that class a couple times.
I think Pop Physique is a great supplement to cardio workouts. It definitely provides the targeted toning benefits that running or cycling don’t, but don’t provide the cardiovascular benefits of more rigorous cardio exercise. I hate working out, but recognize that both cardio and anaerobic exercises are necessary parts of a comprehensive workout regimen, so I sporadically do both (and probably get the benefits of neither).
The only things I’d like to see are more class times, maybe different classes (like lower body targeted classes sometimes), and better affordability! I’ve used up almost all my classes and I’m not an unlimited monthly type of person, so I wish there was a 5 or 10 class package that averaged out to something closer to $ 10 a class (which I would still find pretty expensive, but might be more inclined to do it). Running an exercise facility /​studio is hard in LA, but lots of us are still on a budget! My major pet peeve of most facilities on the west side is the lack of weekend classes. Waking up early on the weekends is rough, and most places don’t offer late afternoon or evening classes.
