Lock Box LA

It’s insane how great lock box is. There are so many good things to say, but I’ll try to keep this from getting too long.
If you’re serious and committed to getting fit– this is the only place you’ll need. I have access to many different boutique studios around LA and I’m considering giving them all up and signing up exclusively at Lock Box and I’ll tell you why.
The space is gorgeous. It’s huge. Top of the line equipment, great music, friendly people everywhere and it’s convenient.
The real gem here, of course, is PJ. This man is like no other! He is absolutely brilliant. Aside from being a health and fitness genius (seriously– look up his credentials. You will be blown away) with supermodel looks, he is the nicest and most encouraging man I’ve ever worked out with. I actually don’t know how he does it. Working with people can be exhausting and annoying. If you work in business and need to talk to customers, you understand.
The amount of people who come in and out of this box, and he still manages to remember your name and make you feel welcome. Even if you’ve only met once. That’s really hard work!
The truth is that no matter how hot and friendly your coach is, or how beautiful a space is– you show up to work out and maybe have fun if you’re into it. The work outs here are unparalleled.
Jill is also spectacular, which leads me to believe that all the coaches here set the standard of being the best. She is an expert leader. She can teach a class, correct everyones form and love her pup with true grace.
Finally– even their clothes are cute.
All that’s missing is Astrid from Barry’s Bootcamp!

LockBox LA is great! I have been to Eli’s CrossFit class and PJ’s gymnastics class.
I love the gymnastics class! PJ is awesome. He was a collegiate level gymnast and then a collegiate level gymnastics coach. He will teach you the basics of gymnastics and encourage you to scale to your level.
As someone who has never really done gymnastics before, I feel really safe with PJ. He can spot anything. I feel free to try anything because I know he has my back!
The class and environment is so much fun. Everyone is encouraging and cheering each other on. It’s so much fun to see every doing a great job and congratulating each other.
The structure generally goes… Warm ups with stretching, jumps and hollow body/​arch body holds, then tumbling to whatever your scale is (tumbling, cartwheels, one handed cartwheels, hand springs), some supporting exercise in between turns, and then jumps off the trampoline.
I haven’t been taking the class for long, but I’m already improving. I can’t wait to see what happens next :)

I’ve tried multiple boxes and this one got my heart! I just passed my 6-​monthsary with LockBox and I’m getting closer and closer to my goals!
It’s very easy to get to from anywhere. I live in West Hollywood and work on the westside, and it’s on a very convenient location.
The coaches, programming and the community has helped me (and others) improve our athletic state. The positive energy in this box is amazing! I’ve tried out all the classes – mobility and gymnastics are unique to this box and they are something special.
This gym is not all about CrossFit, but instead, it’s all about making you better!

If you want to get in shape– join this gym. The trainers are awesome. The staff is great and the gym itself is big and very clean. I have been a few times now and I love it. Tabata is a great work out! Check it out!

Great place to get a good workout! This place is so big, clean, and offers many classes! They also have a variety of experienced personal trainers to help you get in tip top shape. If you have kids, they also have a wonderful kids fitness class! Go check it out, you won’t be sorry.

Been a part of many different fitness cultures and gyms. Never found a place that is so flexible to my needs as an athlete. As someone who has trained with some of the best coaches in the ice hockey world it was hard for me to find a fitness program post glory days that gave me everything i needed. Lock Box has provided this for me in so many ways. The coaching is excellent, very dialed and sharp. The environment is friendly and offers a warm welcome to anyone just coming in to a new gym scene. The best part in my opinion is the flexibility of the programs. Everything from Power and Strength to Tabata to body sculpt, gymnastics and Crossfit all at your fingertips.
So happy i found a place to work toward my personal fitness goals along with great people! Not to mention i live on the West Side yet the location is easily accessible and the facility is remarkable!

If you want a really good workout, this is the place for you! I personally am addicted to crossfit and could rave about the programming, community, new equipment, etc., but this box is way more than just a crossfit facility. They offer an absorbent amount of classes, including mobility, gymnastics, crossft, tabata, crossfit kids, body sculpt and so much more. It doesn’t matter if you’re sore, tired or just need a quick 20 minute workout before you start your day, Lock Box has a class to get you moving. Not to mention, the owners, PJ and Susan, are absolutely amazing and are always there showing their faces (PJ coaches some classes also) and they REALLY care about this place. The coaches are all the absolute best as well and really know what they’re talking about. They give the personal attention you need/​want during class and are all so encouraging that it makes you want to push yourself beyond any limit you thought you had.
I live in the Marina and I travel all the way here every morning because it’s just that great of a place. Definitely check this facility out for a great workout with some great people who quickly turn into friends!

I have been to globo gyms, spin classes, other CrossFit boxes and none compare to Lock Box. I have never seen myself as an athlete before. I’ve struggled with weight and motivation my whole life. I’ve seen a change in me since I joined Lock Box. The moment you walk in, you are greeted by the owners whom are always genuinely excited to see you. The facility is clean, spacious and their equipment is in top shape.
My favorite classes are Olympic Lifting and Tabata. The Olympic Lifting programming has really helped me with my technique. From bar pulls to feet positioning, the coach will observe and correct through drills. This is the best way to break down the movement and focus on form. The attention to detail from Coach PJ is excellent.
Tabata gets my heart rate going within minutes. I avoided Tabata like the plague but the more I take these classes, the stronger I feel. You will feel muscles you didn’t know you had. The best thing, it’s over in 20 minutes. I do more work in 20 minutes than I would do walking on a treadmill for an hour.
Overall, the owners PJ and Susan care about their members. They take pride in what they do. This is the first time I’ve ever felt like an athlete. The coaches, programming and the members are what keeps me coming back. This feels like a second home to me. I drive 13 miles everyday to come here and I never think twice about it.

I’ve tried out a lot of Boxes in LA, but Lock Box is still my favorite… in no small part to PJ and the other trainers at Lock Box. They’re knowledgeable, helpful, fun, and they keep the workouts challenging.
Good community of people as well.

My first official Cross Fit class was last night. Loved the convenience of times, parking, size of facility, etc. I was able to get some personal attention… Melissa was AWESOME! She was so helpful and encouraging even though I was the «slowest» person in the class. I would definitely come back!

I had only been to a few «crossfit» type classes before I came to Lock Box. I was semi against the «CrossFit» type workouts etc. But, Boy did Lock Box LA surprise me! I’m a wellness coach and certified personal trainer and was looking for a more intense workout to do 2 – 3 times per week in addition to my regular weight training and cardio. After 3 sessions at Lock Box LA I started to see the changes. My mid-​section was tighter and I really feel it helped me lean me out a bit. I eat pretty clean so this addition of high intensity workouts has really helped keep my body at it’s best. I’ve gained some muscle (which I wanted to) and kept up an overall lean & fit look. There are various classes so it’s not all about lifting or snatches etc. You can actually get in a pretty hardcore cardio burn in all the classes. The coaches are amazing as well and will modify all the exercises for you if need be. I highly recommend giving Lock Box LA a try! You WILL see a difference!

Before I go into my review of Lock Box let me explain my normal fitness regiment. I work out at Equinox 5 – 6 days per week either strength training or cardio in addition to other yoga, spinning and pilates studios. I came to Lockbox shortly after they opened and became absolutely addicted! I’ve seen distinctive differences in my physique that I was not seeing before.
They have a variety of classes not only Crossfit but power and strength and some great mobility classes. The coaches are programming are bar none the best I’ve ever seen. I travel extensively and go to Crossfit Boxes in every state and country I visit and nothing has come close to Lockbox.
Additionally I’ve been bringing friends of all fitness levels and they have all fallen in love with the workouts. I even have a friend whom is a trainer herself and does nutrition coaching that decided to join after she saw the change in my own body.
Lastly the biggest change I have seen is a level of determination that cross fit gave me that has not only helped with my fitness but truly translated to all parts of my life. It gives a driver that I didn’t have before. You realize when you push your body past what you believe it can take it gives you a huge sense of accomplishment and makes you feel like you can do anything. PS… best part is I can bring my dog with me to my workouts.
