I signed up for the 50 min sessions and trained here for 4 months. First impressions - If you've been to other gyms before, you might find this a little unusual in the beginning. It is not a traditional gym with the familiar equipments you can sit on and workout.
Dan, the gym owner and the lead trainer was excellent in being welcoming and gets along well with you to meet your goals. He clearly lists down a plan and maintains a file where in he logs your training sessions. Fortunately he was also my trainer.
His initial methods were mostly using body weight and resistance bands giving attention to form, range and core balance. Gradually he switched me to dumbell and bench workouts. We had a lot of chats during the training sessions. It was fun !
Towards the end, Dan got busy and there was Rodney a new trainer in the gym from NYC. His methods were different altogether, using kettle-bells, cable machines, etc. but both sure did teach me a lot about what all to watch while exercising a muscle group.

So last 2 things are, 1. Sign up for personal training here because it's totally worth it and more affordable than other places and 2. Don't...
Read moreGreat gym in Koreatown that offers everything you need for strength training, compound movements, calisthenics, functional training, yoga, HIIT, intervals, and a sweet shower. The fitness instructors, gym owner, and regular members are all friendly so it's all good vibes inside. It is smaller than your conventional gym but the reward is the community of athletes that you can easily plug yourself into and the social rewards that results from it.
I personally believe that the owner of a gym is a huge reflection on the gym and its direction.
