Hourglass Lab - All Women’s Private Gym — Local services in Covina

I really wanted to like this gym. The premise of it was promising — women’s only, small circle, but my experience of stepping foot in there for one day and following issues from that single trial appointment has scared me away from small gyms like this in the future. First, the pricing is $520 a month which was daunting, but I thought okay maybe it’s worth it. But as you can see from the attached images, the first week I was there the door locked everyone out of the gym while the owner was out of town. The owner also keeps you in a 3 month contract and I was in between jobs, but she said that she’d push it back a month to accommodate. She didn’t. I was charged despite this promise, for a gym I stepped into for one day, and continue to be charged. I won’t be returning after this extremely negative experience and it’s a good thing because again this week the gym’s dealing with equipment issues. This wouldn’t be as insulting if they didn’t charge half a thousand dollars. Keep in mind the exorbitant monthly payments, the equipment issues, locking out members, and lack of accommodation despite agreement over text...

l used to be AFRAID of the gym. I had a PF membership for a few months before the pandemic but I had no guidance and no idea what I was doing. I spent my whole childhood in martial arts and never set foot in a weight room. Crystal helped me learn how to set myself up for LONGTERM success. Not just while training but even when I couldn't afford 1-1 training anymore, I felt ready and confident to utilize what she taught me. I lost a ton of weight during the pandemic due to depression and stress, and my goal was to gain weight and just feel confident. Crystal has been so kind, patient, and accommodating, and I have truly never seen and felt so much progress in my body than I have in the last 6 months. And! Hourglass is a safe and CLEAN space. All the equipment is always clean and it even SMELLS new in there. Crystal makes sure we feel safe with security cameras inside and outside. I'm sure I'm forgetting something because Hourglass has truly become my safe haven and I can't say enough about it. Whether you're a gym rat looking for a private space or a newbie looking to learn -- HOURGLASS IS THE...

I LOVE THIS GYM!! The privacy of it, the freedom of space, it's a vibe!

I’ve been going to Hourglass for almost a year now and I honestly wouldn’t go anywhere else. It has everything I need to get a great workout in and Crystal (owner) is constantly adding more equipment/accessories. You can play your own music on the speakers, and amplify it on non business hours. One of my favorite amenities is the InBody scanner, which I use biweekly to track my weight, muscle mass and bf%.

Overall, a must try gym with an amazing and incredibly helpful owner and a group of girls that might just end up being your besties 💕

Update!! 5/21/2025 A little update. This gym has moved just down the street from its original location to a bigger and better spot! I STILL go to this gym daily and have had no issues at all. It is still such a vibe and you can't beat the freedom and privacy that come with it.

Check them out if you ever get a chance. You won't be...
