Backyard CrossFit — Local services in Montebello

So, I came across Backyard CrossFit due to my home gym in DTLA closing at the end of this month. My friend and I dropped in for their Wednesday evening Fit N Peachy class which was taught by Coach Hector. We also met Jose, the owner of the gym.

Tbh, I was a bit cranky when I showed up as I had to drive through awful LA traffic to get there. However, Jose and Hector’s warm and welcoming demeanor immediately assuaged my irritability. The class was intense in just the right way, and it was very clear Hector is very knowledgeable about lifting weights and using proper form. I really appreciated the words of encouragement and how he was constantly watching out for members to make sure they were using proper form to prevent injuries and make efficient use of the movements.

Additionally, the gym had a completely separate area for open gym from the group workout room. As someone who also likes to workout on his own, this was an additional boon to the already great classes and coaches the gym offers! AND, the open gym is open 24 hours! How dope is that??

Alas, I live just a tad too far for it to become my new third space! But, if you live near the area, I HIGHLY recommend this gym! You can immediately feel the sense of community when you arrive! I will definitely be dropping in here and there when I can, most likely on the weekends.

Thank you so much for such a great experience, Coaches Jose and Hector! Yall are awesome! And, the gym...

I joined Backyard Crossfit about 3months ago, I was looking for something closer to home and a change from the previous gym I had been going to. I took a trial class on a Saturday morning to get a feel of what I would be getting myself into and it did not disappoint!. Since then I have been going consistently to their classes, which they offer at flexible times throughout the day in order to be able to get a great workout in to your day. Both the Burn and Metcon classes have been both fun and challenging for me, they are different everyday, and they have a great team of coaches to teach and push you through. You get a really good hour of training and exercise that strengthens all of your body. I have felt and seen progress in my body strength, physique and endurance. Definitely recommend Backyard CrossFit for those looking for a challenge and those that want to see results in your weight loss and/or body...

Great place. Very clean. The staff is unbelievable. The energy and vibe is awesome. The staff is so welcoming and knowledgeable. I’m a client for life. I’ve been to several places but hands down the most down to earth, patient and caring staff. They treat me as an individual. You can’t ask for more. In addition, one of the best things I like about Backyard Crossfit is its diversity. This is a testament to the staff ‘s professionalism, and caring nature. Last, the workouts are the best. I’m in better shape in my fifties than I have ever been. More energy, stamina and strength. I bring my Varsity Boys Soccer Team during the summer and they absolutely love it! Thank you...
