LYFE Fitness – Team CrossFit

The family atmosphere keeps me at LYFE Fitness. There are no egos and everyone is super welcoming and friendly. All of the coaches give attention to each athlete and are incredibly knowledgable and encouraging. Not only do they always stress proper form and safety, but they encourage you to do your best, and inspire you to do more. I can’t say enough about the staff that work here!
They offer plenty of classes and a variey to choose from, whether its Crossfit, SpeedX, HeavyBag60, Krav Maga, Intro to Fight, Barbell Strength, and Yoga! The box itself is HUGE, and all of their equipment is in pristine shape and CLEAN!
There is nothing you can’t accomplish. This is the place to challenge all of your misconceptions about yourself, and your coaches and fellow members are there for you the entire way. All fitness levels, all ages, all friends!
The owner, Chris Gors, is not only my favorite person on the planet, but he wouldn’t let me give up on myself. His love and passion for this gym, the members and his teachings are INCREDIBLE. You gotta take one of his Krav Maga classes! Couldn’t recommend it more. Life changing!!!
Team Crossfit — LYFE Fitness is more than a community. It’s a family, and it’s one of the stronger families you will find in a crossfit gym. I highly recommend dropping by and joining so that you can take that leap into your fitness journey! The results are real!

So happy I was introduced to this gym. From the first day I came in here I was welcomed by everyone. All of the coaches are very friendly. I was nervous coming in because I was still a newbie to crossfit but every exercise is scalable to your ability and the coaches show you the moves. They also offer great rates!

I just recently became a part of this wonderful Crossfit community. I have been working out sporadically and wanted to improve my health and fitness level. It is the best decision I made for the New Year. First, this group is definitely a community and you feel the support from the the entire team. The group leaders are knowledgeable and are attentive to all participants in the class, ensuring that the movements are executed correctly and safely. They readily provide suggestions to modify exercises for participants when needed, to prevent injury and maximize the benefit of the workout. I would definitely recommend LYFE fitness for anyone at any fitness level. Most importantly, IT IS FUN!

Love this gym! Rachel was so helpful staff was very friendly. Impressed how easy it was to find, a lot of parking, & the gym was clean and organized. Talk about a great atmosphere to get my sweat on! Highly recommended & Looking forward to my next work out!

Great staff very supportive. Lots of options and classes. Staff will help with meal plan.

«Here we all work hard. Here we all make sacrifices. Here we all help each other. Here we all learn together. Here we all chase the same dream. Here we all support each other. Here we all make mistakes. Here we all go through pain. Here we all respect each other. Here we seen each other hurt. Here we all push each other. Here we are all a team. Here we all friends. Here we are all brothers and sisters. Here we are a family.» Couldn’t ask for more and would recommend it to anyone looking for a game changer in the area of self care, personal growth, self defense, and physical health. Home sweet home

I was really struggling at 24 hour fitness with motivation. A friend told me about this place because it had a bunch of different types of fitness classes: Crossfit, Speedx, Krav Maga. Turns out this is exactly what I was looking for. The instructors are amazing and it gives me the variety of work outs so I dont get bored. I’m excited to get in a workout now!

I love this place!!! I’ve been a part of Team Crossfit /​Lyfe Fitness since the beginning and it’s truly amazing to see how it’s evolved and become even better!!! There’s seriously no better place to Crossfit in Woodland Hills!!!
From a small, cramped space they started in on Victory to the beautiful new facility they opened last year on Variel, the one thing that hasn’t changed is the high level of coaching and the community feel! Everybody us so awesome and nice!!! It truly feels like a family, and all the coaches are super motivating and highly knowledgeable. They’re all about being smart and preventing injuries which isn’t always the case at Crossfit gyms! In addition to Crossfit, they’ve opened up several other classes, including SpeedX (which is the most ridiculous cardio workout that completely kicks my butt). Seriously — kills me!
They also have a Krav Maga program. I strongly believe that EVERYONE should take a self-​defense class. Chris is the lead instructor and he’s an awesome teacher — super intense but in a make me want to work harder and kick some serious butt kind of way! And my personal favorite are the bag classes — essentially kickboxing on heavy bags. They are SO. MUCH. FUN!!! There’s something so empowering about kicking the crap out of a heavy bag and I’m always completely soaked in sweat by the end!!!
So … If you couldn’t tell by my gushing review, they’re amazing and have a variety of options for whatever your fitness tastes are. I love them. The end. :)

I am so happy I joined this gym. The coaches are great, the facility is great, the other athletes are great. It is really making me stay in shape and the people there really motivate me to keep improving. I highly recommend this place for anyone looking into doing Crossfit or Krav Maga!

Love this place! I am so glad I signed up! Found them because I was looking for Krav Maga, but it is so much more! The coaches and team members are friendly and encouraging! And that makes the workouts so much more fun and enjoyable! Even if you are dripping with sweat and sore all over the next day! :)

I am so happy I chose Team CrossFit for my first experience in the world of CrossFit. The facility is great, the coaches are awesome and the fellow athletes are very encouraging. I admit I was intimidated about CrossFit going in because I have some considerable weight to lose… but Coach James, Coach Juvie and many others put my fears to rest. I immediately felt like part of the family and I actually surprised myself with just how strong I am. And, I’m already seeing gains after only going 2x/​week for the last three months. CrossFit is the perfect complement to my tennis game. My speed, strength and endurance has grown leaps and bounds. If you like to challenge yourself, this workout is definitely for you. If I can do it, so can you!

I’ve only been here once and I’m in love. Had Rachael judge me for my first CrossFit open. Very encouraging. Everyone was nice and smiled. Very welcoming considering I was a nervous wreck. I’m thinking of signing up for classes or the open gym portion.

So after having two kids in 3 years it was time to get back to working out. So I jumped straight into crossfit. I found this place through referrals and called them to research a little. James was so amazing, explained everything to me why this place would be better than finding a random groupon. I am so happy I chose this place. From nova at the front desk to Tina and Julie as the two best coaches ever, I now love working out. I go to 6am classes 3 times a week (before the kids wake up) and I’m feeling better than ever! Thank you everyone at team crossfit!!!

Team Crossfit is far & away the BEST box I’ve encountered in the area!
1. The parking lot is large & easy to navigate.
2. The staff are highly qualified & experienced.
3. The equipment is pristine & the floor space is the biggest around.
4. For the price of ONE membership I get unlimited Krav-​Maga, Crossfit, Yoga, & Kick-​Boxing classes.
You simply won’t find a better experience anywhere near Woodland Hills!

I dropped in to this box while on business from the east coast. From the sign up to class, I was impressed with Team Crossfit. Very professional in contacting me by email about my fitness background to reminding me to bring my waiver. They even gave me a courtesy call the day before to remind me about my drop-​in! The class was great and the instructor was not only knowledgeable and motivating, but was always checking in to make sure I was doing ok. The only complaint I have is having to pay for the class and a t-​shirt; that’s not the norm when you drop-​in on the east coast. Still, I highly recommend this box and would definitely go there again if I was back in the area.

I am on a two week vacation bouncing around the west coast and was looking for a crossfit gym in the area and decided to come here. And I am SOOO glad I did. I spoke to Nova the day before I booked a class and she answered all of my questions and asked a few of her own. They are ridiculously thorough on covering the bases to make sure they know you and your limitations and make sure the trainers are aware of any injuries as well. The classes are great and challenging. When I arrived in the morning Nova showed me around the whole facility (it’s beautiful btw). I worked with Tina and she was really encouraging and made sure we went through all the movements before we started the workout. After that Nova called me over to ask how I felt and what I thought. Another class started but I continued to stretch anyway and no one said anything (in fact, they encouraged it). The atmosphere is really amazing and it makes you want to push yourself. I am trying to rearrange my schedule to stay in the area a bit longer so that I can come back! I highly highly highly recommend.

I miss this place always wanted to write a review James is great instructor for Krav Maga had a blast every one was awesome there great staff and people had us working our asses off but we’ll worth it this place I recommend if u wanna get in shape ASAP of a looking for a work out challenge !!

Dear James,
I think about writing this letter all the time and I never know how to start it.
This is a letter of gratitiude.
I am grateful that after 3 years of driving by Team Crossfit, I walked in.
I am grateful to Team Crossfit and my coaches James, Emily, Juvie, Bryce, Tina and Dan over the past 2 years.
I am grateful to be part of a community that accepts and encourages all ages and all skill levels.
I hadn’t been to a gym in over 10 years. After my divorce, I started taking medication and I gained over 80 pounds. No matter how I changed my eating, the weight wouldn’t come off. I would walk on the bike path everyday thinking that would take the weight off, but it didn’t. One day, as I was walking, I thought to myself that I could walk forever on this bike path and nothing is going to change. I knew I had to help myself.
I had driven by Team Crossfit on my way home every day for 3 years. I had no idea what Crossfit meant. I am going to be 50 years old and I come from the time of Jane Fonda workouts and Holiday Spa (now Bally’s). Even when I looked on Team Crossfit’s website, it didn’t make any sense to me. But I called and made an appointment to do a trial class on a Friday. So I am 48, completely overweight, wearing my sweats and sweatshirt and I walk into the building, not knowing what to expect. I will never forget the look on his face or James asking me if I knew what this workout was. I didn’t realize until I saw the rest of the class that I clearly did not fit it. It didn’t matter to me about the age difference or the clear difference in fitness level and everyone made me feel welcome. I remember in the warm up we had to jump rope. I hadn’t jumped rope since I was 8. Then we had to go into the alley and run suicides. I did what I could do with my big body and kept going with everyone’s encouragement. The next day, I couldn’t move. The day after that, I did my second trial class and signed up for a membership. I loved every minute of it. I loved that I couldn’t do the movements, but with practice I got them. I loved that my clothes were getting looser and that Shan said to me one day, «if you wear that sweatshirt one more day, I will kill you!». I loved that when I was the last one running, someone would be there to run with me after they had finished their run. I remember the coaches calling us all athletes and I was so proud to be called that for the first time in my life. When I was younger, it never occurred to me to try a sport and now it’s my chance. I feel stronger every day. When I leave after my workout and I am sweating and breathing hard, I drive home smiling and thankful that Team Crossfit exists. I haven’t had a full time job in awhile, but the price didn’t stop me. I charge it every month and find a way to pay it. This is something I had to do for myself.
To be honest, it was more painful and exhausting being heavy than doing the work that needed to be done to lose the weight. It was exhausting getting dressed every day, it was exhausting trying to cover up all the fat with a sweatshirt even in the summer (in the valley… please). It was exhausting trying to find clothes that fit me and didn’t make me look like I was in my 80’s. I would rather do the fun workouts, eat properly and feel proud of myself every day than live like I was for 10 years. So far, I have lost about 60 – 70 pounds and I feel better now than when I was younger. I am stronger and have better balance than I did before I started. I was always afraid I was going to trip and fall because of my weight. Now if I trip, I can recover because of my Crossfit training. I am also looking ahead to the next 10, 20 or 40 years and want to become stronger as I get older. So many elderly people in my family have medical problems that could have be prevented with Crossfit and I am preparing now for my older self.
I love you Team Crossfit and I am forever grateful to you.

This box is, by far, the best I’ve been to. I come all the way from Pasadena to Woodland Hills (I used to live near Woodland Hills) because I love the people and the coaches. I could very easily go to one closer to me in Pasadena but I’m loyal to Team Crossfit in Woodland Hills and what they’ve helped me achieve.
The coaches are tough and will push you to progress. Once you feel like you’ve gotten to where you think you’re good, they’ll push you to go even further. I’ve learned discipline and gained a newfound love for weightlifting. My lifestyle has overall improved into a healthier one and I can’t imagine not going to this box.
