Backyard Fitness - Crossfit, Boxing, Olympic Weight-lifting — Local services in Los Angeles

MixTape is truly a fantastic spot if you are looking to get back into shape and reconnect with friendly folks after the last two years of being inside.

I started in late September and this gym welcomed me with open arms. I was the heaviest I’d ever weighed and felt really disconnected from my body. I saw Mixtape on my Instagram, and though I was terrified of CrossFit, I saw they were an inclusive gym (I’m LGBT and was worried there was not a place for me in CrossFit) and they offered yoga which interested me. One class with Jason made me realize their inclusive message was the real deal. It was all about starting me at where I was at and making me feel comfortable. By my second class on Saturday with Sadie I was hooked. These two create a phenomenal environment.

The workouts have scaled versions of intensity which allowed me to keep going despite being new to CrossFit and keep me engaged. I’ve lost over 30 pounds since joining the gym, but the real reason I stay is the community. Jason and Sadie run an incredibly welcoming business that is only enhanced by the incredible community they are building. Their additional coaches are all equally kind, knowledgeable, and make working out fun. I’ve yet to try there boxing classes but I hear amazing things. I’ve already made incredible friends there, and often it feels just as much a social club as it is a gym. Looking forward to staying at the place for...

I started going to Mixtape in February of 2022. Knowing I was going to be moving in June I was reluctant to get into a new box only to leave in a few months.

In the short amount of time I was there I connected with Mercedes and Jason and they were absolutely amazing. They care so much about their members and go above and beyond to create a welcoming environment for everyone.

I moved in June of 2022 and tried out three other CrossFit boxes in the Santa Monica area only to find out that I’m a Mixtape-er for life. I missed the WIN and FIT workouts that included modifications to some of the more advanced movements, I missed the open gym environment with TONS of room to workout, I missed the doggies, I missed the one on one coaching you get during class, but most importantly I missed the culture that Mercedes and Jason have cultivated with this new CrossFit box.

I recommend this CrossFit box over any of the other ones in Los Angeles simply because Mercedes and Jason. They’re an amazing duo and have created an even more amazing CrossFit culture that is inviting and welcoming to all who have a passion for fitness.

Definitely worth the drive everyday to spend time with...

Sooooo... I drank the Crossfit Kool-aid. After years of watching my husband practice this crazy sport, I finally gave in.

I am not now, nor have I ever been a sporty person. I started coming to Mixtape for their yoga classes. Loved it. I then moved on to spin classes. Yes! I can do this. Now I'm doing the crazy WOD (Workout of the Day). I'm actually doing things in the gym I would have never thought I could do.

The coaches are without exception knowledgeable, approachable, and encouraging. They modify and accomodate the workouts to your level of fitness. The facility is not like a typical chain gym, but it is clean and welcoming. But the NUMBER ONE REASON why I keep coming back is the sense of community that Coaches Sadie and Jason have fostered in their business. The inclusivity and comaraderie and overall lovefest I feel here are everything. Having a cruddy day at work? Come to the box. Relationship woes? Come to the box. Too many tamales? Come to the box. You'll sweat. You'll laugh. You'll feel better. Did I mention this is a dog-friendly spot? Seriosuly......
