Hype Fitness — Local services in Los Angeles

Getting off the couch to work out isn't always easy. Sometimes, even when you know something is good for you, motivation can be hard to find. But every time I finish a class at Hype, I'm grateful I made the effort. Hype offers more than just a workout--it's an overall fun experience. When you consistently get that perfect blend of fitness and enjoyment, it's definitely worthy of 5 stars.

Music is crucial for me, and Hype nails it every time. Whether it's emo, hip hop, or nostalgic 90's/00's tracks from my younger days, I love it all. It's easy to find your flow, switch off your mind, and let your body take over when the vibe is just right.

My favorite aspects of Hype are the owners and instructors. Every teacher brings a unique, positive energy to their classes. Grace's encouraging voice during spin sessions--"You can do it, yes you can"--echoes in my mind the next day, making me feel like a champion. Jesse's endless supply of great music and dad jokes during sculpt classes keeps me giggling and dancing between reps, singing on my mat while sweating buckets and getting a nice workout.

The instructors are fantastic because they reflect the awesomeness of Hype's owners. Every detail in the studio is thoughtfully curated--from the lights and disco ball to the well-maintained equipment and fully stocked bathrooms and showers. The little touches, like someone handing out wipes at the end of class or the chemical-free bottles on the bikes, show they truly care. They're always there, always listening, and always cheering you on. I once suggested adding mirrors at the parking lot entrance for safer exits, and within days, they were installed. They also use their space to highlight important topics, with a mural of P-22 outside and a vibrant Pride Flag flying proudly at the entrance. It's a safe space, thanks to their dedication and passion.

If you're thinking twice about whether you should pop in for a class, then you should believe the hype...

Hype Fitness owner canceled my upcoming class in response to receiving a low Yelp review!

I had initially rated Hype Fitness 3/5, providing constructive feedback to improve the experience. I spoke highly about the classes and kindly suggested not overlapping evening sessions to ease the parking situation (if you've been here, you know the struggle, especially around 5:30-6pm). One possible solution could be to coordinate the class schedules better, allowing a five-minute buffer between classes. This would enable a smoother transition and ensure that parking spaces open up in time for the next group of clients. If parking weren't an issue, this place would be a 5-star for me.

Instead of taking my feedback in stride, the owner, Zhenya, responded with zero empathy and respect and decided to cancel my class for this week. This reaction felt more like bullying than a professional response.

Given this disappointing experience, I have decided to downgrade my rating to 1/5 and will not be returning to Hype Fitness. I will gladly take my business elsewhere. A bit more professionalism and empathy would be beneficial, especially in the wellness community.

To anyone reading this, I encourage you to explore other options. There are better independently-owned and operated studios out there with owners who prioritize their clients'...

EDIT -- my original review was during my trial week and I've been a member for over a year now - just hit 250 classes so I love this place! The instructors are amazing, supportive and have great energy: Jesse, Zoe, Terrence, Eden, Andi and Reagan have been so great, but I'm sure they're all wonderful.

The front desk team are all really friendly & funny as well, they know everyone's names and always greet you with a smile. Also if you're someone who forgets their hair tie all the time like me, they got ya covered. Hype has built a great community and it really has become my "third place".

For folks complaining about parking, idk what to say- Hype has more dedicated parking than any boutique fitness studio in the area and this is Los Angeles. There is an abundance of...
