Reebok CrossFit LAB

Great facility — clean, well maintained, everything looks new. People are friendly. Two main issues: first is they’re not so great with scaling — so if you’re not going to RX you don’t have something to aim for. This may or may not be an issue for you depending on your preferences. I wish I’d noticed that before signing up. Second, I’ve had some awesome coaches but had one coach who was on his cell phone the whole class and didn’t provide any form correction to anyone in the class. Wish I’d taken a drop in class with different instructors not just Yumi before signing up as well. In short — make sure to do at least two drop ins with different coaches before joining, and if scaling is important for you be sure to talk to them about how they manage it before signing up. It seems overall like a good place — hope this info helps people looking for the right place to work out.

Absolutely Hands down the best gym I have ever been to. Beyond clean, beyond friendly, the best trainers I have ever met and amazing programming. I stumbled upon this box accidentally (being from out of town) and nothing has ever compared. I try so hard to find something else that is close and I find bits and pieces but never the whole deal. Buy the membership, you won’t regret it.

…Great concept great instructors great showers very clean facility! Yumi is awesome!
Down side ;(visiting fee way to high. Different treatment to non members (class pass) did ask if I can stretch more after a class was informed that is not allowed to non members ;(((

One of the co owners Yumi is a nightmare ! I had a trembling experience put politely ! Frankly, this trout was extremely resentful for Of my energy and chose to leave discriminating words. I hope the old bag of bones gets the energy she projects in a tsunami of negativity for the rest of her short days.

Was looking for a box to join while working in West Hollywood for two months and hit the jackpot with the Reebok LAB. I was able to get a student discount on the monthly rate, which was huge since a lot of other gyms in the area don’t offer one. The facility is gorgeous and the programming is top notch, but what really makes this place stand out are the people. The main coaches I worked with were Cortni, Sterling, and Yumi, and they were absolutely incredible. Great at explaining the subtle techniques involved with some of the fundamental moves and they were able to push me without compromising my form or safety. The LABletes (aka members) were incredibly welcoming and super friendly, and you can tell this place is a very tight knit community. Overall I can’t recommend this gym enough — if you are looking for a Crossfit box in the LA area, check this place out!

You know that scene in THG when Katniss is heading up into the arena and all you hear is the gentle whir of the elevator, your eyes lock onto hers onscreen and both of you are fearful for what is to come? Yes? Well — as I dutifully punched my incline up to 15% and set my speed up to 9.0, the gentle purr of the treadie’s belt became audible as there was a lull btwn Bae and Get Low remixes, my own baby blues met my reflection in the mirror and I can only tell you that while I wasn’t going into a free-​for-​all blood bath, I was afraid.
Much of my knowledge of XFit comes from die-​hard paleo prosthelytizers… and while I can get on board with many things, a lifestyle without bread and an exercise class with a high over/​under of developing light rhabdo gives me pause. Weird, right?
However, as my instructor, Rush (who, sidenote, has the most gorg quads I’ve ever seen IRL) walked us through the floor exercises and I looked around the studio and realized there was nary a kettlebell in sight, I was calmed. These Endurance XFit classes, with their sprints/​runs at various inclines, bodyweight/​dumbbell exercises (squats, presses, curls), and ab exercises for days are really more like any other bougie cardio/​weights adventure you might strut your lulu into rather than the agro cult thing I generally associate XFit with.
Fairly friendly crowd, by in large reflective of surrounding WeHo — I was one of two women in the class — that said, it’s not an intimidating scene — though, I guess if I was trying to cruise and didn’t have a body like adonis, maybe I’d find the handsomeness of the patrons intimidating? Unclear.
I went with ClassPass, but it looks like a single drop in class is $ 25 and I’m sure they have packages available if you want to go hard. Actual equipment could be fresher — my yoga mat was a bit like a washed up party girl for my taste — but by in large it’s clean. Wouldn’t have minded more 1-​on-​1 correction abt postures, but on the whole the drills required minimal jazzercise-​type coordination and I felt like I was given clear instructions, making the class easy to follow. Bonus points for having two dogs on the premises. Overall, I can’t speak to the normal XFit classes, but will return when I need to sweat from every inch of my body, knowing that EFx will make it rain.

By far the nicest box I have seen — clean, nice people, awesome trainer and easy drop in. I am from Germany so I contacted Rush (GM) beforehand to arrange drop-​in — very easy process and welcoming atmosphere. Parking is free, drop in was only 25 USD… nothing more to add really :) — thanks for having me!

If you’re reading this– you’re probably aware that there are a thousand different places to work out in LA. On top of that, there are hundreds of thousands of trainers. I’ve never really been a mathematician, but I live for a good sweat with a knowledgeable and inspiring instructor.
There’s a few master trainers in Los Angeles. Astrid at Barry’s Bootcamp, obviously. Nichelle at Cycle House, for example. I mention them because they set the standard for the best trainers in LA.
With gratitude I mention that this CrossFit lab has one of their own elite trainers to add to the mix. Rush Kemp is the answer to your Crossfit needs. His work outs fly by, they’re always interesting and exciting and his taste in music is unmatched. I consistently feel pushed, he has excellent attention to form, but most importantly– his work outs are fun. Results guaranteed! Plus he’s real handsome
There also always seem to be dogs in this place– so that’s cool too. Anyway stop wasting time reading reviews and schedule a class with RUSH

So far I have only taken the EFx classes which is endurance training taught by Rush and everytime I’ve gotten butt kicked! Be ready to run on the treadmill but it’s timed for max results. I have never in my life ran 10mph but with persuasion for 15 seconds I can finally say I did it.
This place is huge, free parking, towel service and friendly staff.
I wished they offered more EFx classes but this is a Crossfit gym and they only offer their endurance classes on classpass.
In the wise words of our former governor, «I’ll be back.»

I was VERY disappointed in this place! My daughter took classes for over a year at this facility. I was charged for classes she did not attend or was signed up for. I left 3 phone messages, they did not return my calls. An email also went unanswered, very rude and deceptive business practices. After my daughter being in classes for over a year I would expect better treatment. I will find another place for my ten-​year-​old to take classes with her friends and work out, no need to give them my business.

I was recently staying in the area and dropped in for a class. Really nice facility, staff and coaches were very welcoming and everything was organized.

I have been going to this gym for about a year and I am completely hooked. I was a little apprehensive at first and did not want to join the crossfit craze. But what I found is a gym (fine, a box) where there is a huge emphasis on the training part and proper form. The trainers are awesome, especially Yumi, who really gives you a taste of what top-​notch coaching is like. With focused and intense training, I find myself never wanting to go back to a regular gym and waste my time. Plus, I also enjoy the other, non-​crossfit, classes there such as the endurance class. So in summary, yes it’s expensive but I am in the best shape of my life and I would not trade the experience for any other.

Excellent gym. A tough workout given by the owner Yumi. I love the gym and the staff. Lots of pull up bars, kettle bells ropes and rings. Inspiring

I love the gym! Yumi and Ron are amazing people and truly make everyone feel so welcomed. I and not a crossfit person, I was a very very beginner (like first class ever kind of beginner). They made me feel comfortable, welcomed and were sure to answer any questions I had as well as demonstrate thing further if I needed. If you’re wanting to give crossfit a try go here, you won’t be disappointed (or injured most importantly, everyone there knows their stuff).

Was visiting, this place was so friendly! I also had such a great time in the stretching class afterward. Sterling was a very enthusiastic coach and Scarlett was amazing instructing the stretching class afterwards. If I lived in LA, I would definitely want to go to this box.

Visited while on vacation. Great facility. Visiting fee is way too much. It’s not the friendliest place: There’s a check in desk, and it’s best to sign up on their site first so you don’t get the sneer by the host. Coach Yumi yells for the sake of yelling. I didn’t feel encouraged. I also broke a rule: don’t step on the rubber floor area when there’s another class (even though the students are far out of the away… ok fine… good to know. You’ve been warned Unilocalers.) I travel a lot and have been doing CrossFit for several years before there were tons of boxes out there. There are two kinds of Crossfits: low key friendly, encouraging ones. And ones that have a military vibe. It was the latter on this particular day. Upshot: if you’re travelling and you need a workout, put that stuff on ignore and get your work out done.

There are not enough superlatives to use for Reebok Crossfit Lab.
I joined one month ago and began taking classes and committed to Crossfit’s 30 day paleo challenge. In 30 days I lost 14 pounds and my body fat percentage dropped over 6%. Prior to joining Crossfit, I was struggling to lose 15 pounds that I gained over the last year and a half. I could not lose a pound and I chalked it up to an unlucky change in metabolism. Clearly I was wrong.
The staff is fantastic all around. Yumi, Ron and PJ are attentive and make sure you’re using proper form. They encourage you to work hard, and they’re a pleasure to be around. All of the other staff follows suit. They’re very warm, welcoming and provide excellent support to the team.
The level of fitness of many of your fellow Crossfitters can be intimidating at first, but truly, you work to your own level of ability. I’m often one of the last people to finish a given workout and while it can be frustrating at moments, I remind myself that strength is built through routine and practice and not overnight. So do not be intimidated to try a class here. Be inspired by the hard work and dedication of the fit specimens around you!
So grateful I made the decision to come here!

This is a great place to work out. What sets it apart from the other crossfit boxes in the area is the focus on correct form. The instructors emphasize form over all else. All of the staff is incredibly friendly and encouraging.
Another plus Reebok has going for it is the large space. You don’t feel crammed in like cattle.

I was able to walk in there and be 100% comfortable doing my best workout I could do with not having stepped foot in a gym in over a year and set aside my anxiety of intimidation from gyms which I have only be able to do when I was working weekly with a trainer or at the gym I managed. It felt like a good fit and I look forward to more.

I’ve been crossfitting for about a year and a half, at a different box (which I love) that is 3 blocks away from my apartment. This box is about 10 min away from me, but I dropped in last night, as I was eagerly awaiting the opening of this new box. The space is huge and all the equipment is new and shiny…
But for those of you new to crossfit, the most important thing you need to know when choosing a box is that none of that matters. The only thing that makes a box good or bad is the quality of the coaching (the quality of the members is probably my second criteria, but given the personality of the coaches, I am sure they will attract lovely members as well). All those terrible injuries you hear about in crossfit come from boxes where coaches are under-​trained or easily distracted.
The coaches running the show here are top notch (literally trainers to star athletes and performers of all kinds), meaning they are smart, amazing teachers, and too much fun! They have seriously impressive training backgrounds that go so much deeper than just their crossfit certifications. Even though I’ve been squatting (I LOVE squats) for a year and a half, and fancy myself quite decent at it, I learned 2 HUGE takeaways from my class with Ron Mathews last night that totally blew my mind and I am certain will lead to bigger numbers for me!
If you are considering this box at all as your new gym to call home, don’t hesitate! I myself can’t wait to go back and help them dirty up their brand new box some more!
