I started in April21 and like going here. All coaches I know are great, Amy, Astrid, and Cassie.Most of the classes I have attended are Amys. Amy is a great coach and is very positive. She guided and encouraged me well even in bigger classes and accelerated my improvements in various skills.
My home away from home! Not only do you get a workout, but you gain a family. I highly recommend Pendulum Fitness for anyone looking for a transformation, this is the place to start!
Great work out and facility. Staff and trainers are always great. Always willing to help and provide advice.
I have been a member of Pendulum Fitness for over 4 years. Beforehand I worked out alone with no guidance on technique or efficiency. When I started working out at Pendulum I gained attentive coaching from trainers who cared for my performance as much as for my safety.Thanks to my coaches I have become a fitter and more outgoing person. I continue to trust them as well as the process to staying fit.
Love it my private part were itchin but not no mas
Maybe this place just wasnt for me. We were promised a package that essentially wasnt going to be offered to me anymore. The owner did try and make it work, but I had to reach out first to voice my concerns. I appreciate the effort he went through but at the end of the day it just did not feel like this would be the right place for me. I never actually worked out here but the vibes were just not right for me, I felt pressured to prove I wanted a lifestyle change. I joined another gym and feel it was probably best for both parties involved.
I love this place. Been a member for more than 4 years now and I couldnt imagine not having this gym and community in my life. The coaches are excellent and the owners are always pushing to make the experience better. No stale, complacent business practice here. Pendulum is always on the move and that is what keeps me here.
I am not an exercise fan at all. I did a six week intro course here in November 2018 and have been coming to the gym ever since. It has helped with my balance, my strength and my well being. This is a gym where you will work at the things to improve your health in a supportive and fun atmosphere. I cannot imagine going to another gym.
This place is amazing! The trainers / coaches give everyone individual attention and the plenty of encouragement, the space is huge giving everyone plenty of space to move, the workouts really build on each other to give you results, and the each person in the community provides so much support to one another.I joined June/July 2018 because I simply was not getting anywhere with my own typical gym routine. Pendulum definitely gave me a regular workout routine and its just part of my daily routine to go to Pendulum after work! I definitely feel and see the results!
I cant speak highly enough about Pendulum and the community. Ive been here for almost 2 years and from the first day I stepped foot in this huge space, I was greeted by the owner, its members and coaches. There were no death stares or negative energy in sight. Theres still not! The coaches know what they are talking about and care about your form and well being. Yes CF is why I joined but the best part of Pendulum is the COMMUNITY! Everyone here has your back and is willing to help. Not just in the box but also in life outside of the box.If you are looking to train with an amazing group of people this is the place to be. This place is definitely my second home!
I showed up at Pendulum Fitness over 2 years ago plateaued in my fitness journey because I wasn’t quite sure exactly what to do. I had tried working out on my own as well, in a class format, and with a personal trainer. Pendulum has far and away been the best experience I’ve had working out.The workouts each day are challenging but the coaches are there to make sure you finish and will work with you to scale the weight down to your level. The coaches are knowledgeable about all the movements and keep a watchful eye on each member to make sure they are performing each movement correctly so they get stronger.
Dropped in while visiting the area for the day and had a great time! The coach was super knowledgeable, explain things clearly, and there was even an assistant coach there to help. Everyone was friendly and welcoming making it a pleasant experience. They made it really convenient to drop in!
I have been training at Pendulum for the last five years and love everything about it. All members are welcoming and always ready to give a hand to everyone in need. The staff is very professional from the very knowledgeable coaches to the caring owners.I have seen this place grow over the years and I’m happy to call it my second home.The workout are always challenging and if you follow the program you will get amazing results. I can tell you that because I am 49 years old, and my back squat is 425 pounds, deadlift 440, bench 275, clean 255, do more than 30 unbroken toes-to-bar, run a 6 minute mile, etc etc etc. And the best part is that as I am “aging” I am still improving in everything I do. You can tell I’m proud of myself but it wouldn’t be possible without a well thought program. I just need to show up and give my best effort.I hope you find this review helpful and we get to know each other if you ever decide to join.
I was curious about the pendulum fitness, and I wanted to see what it was all about. To be honest it seemed a bit intimidating at first, but i went ahead and tried it. Over a year later, Im still at it and couldnt be happier!! The coaches are great and actually care about your well being and fitness goals. I love the environment at Array, we truly are a family which Ive never felt at any other gym. ❤️❤️
Simply the best! Great coaches. Great people. Im not super in shape but am getting there by being with these amazing people. People of all shapes, sizes and ages.
It’s always been hard for me to get to the gym and consistently workout. CrossFit Pendulum has helped me turn that around and meet goals I never thought I could. The coaching is awesome - every coach cares about who you are and making sure you’re moving correctly. The community is incredibly welcoming and easy to jump in to.Whether you’re an elite athlete or completely out of shape, this place will meet you where you’re at and take you to the next level.
I am an advocate for Pendulum Fitness. When I first joined, about 18 months ago, I was somewhat apprehensive. I am 64 and the coaches are very helpful in scaling the workouts to allow me to participate vigorously and not exacerbate existing physical challenges. As a matter of fact the coaches are so aware of what is going on in their sessions that hey have, on multiple occasions, pulled me back from trying something that they thought was out of my personal envelope. Great folks, Great Place. Most strongly recommended.
Pendulum Fitness is awesome! The coaches are super supportive and make sure I use the correct form to avoid injury. The other members cheer me on, even though I am usually one of the slowest in my class. I joined just about a month ago after not working out for almost two years and already notice changes in my body and I feel stronger and faster. If you want to see realistic results in a supportive environment, this is the gym for you! Come on in and see for yourself... you will only regret not trying.
I’ve been a member at Pendulum for almost a year now. This place is AMAZING! Incredible staff and members. Pendulum has very easily become my second home and family! If you’re looking to get stronger and reach your fitness goals, I highly recommend.
This place is great, even for the beginner. The coaches will teach and guide you through a scaled or as written work out of the day. They are all safety minded and make sure participants are doing the exercises correctly. If you have not done Crossfit, you have to remain constant in coming to class to slowly see results. It took me a while to get use to all the different movements, but now I cant see a day without going to the best workout place in Pasadena.
I found crossfit pendulum through a friend and the only regret I have is not joining sooner! I was looking for a gym that is both welcoming and challenging... this place is it. The coaches and trainers really know how to push everyone within their limits. I can honestly say I feel stronger, more confident and surprised at how heavy u can lift. Thanks pendulum!
I have seen videos of CrossFit workouts and never thought that with my history of injuries ( 4 surgeries total) that I would ever be able to do those exercises. However, in the past 2 months since I have joined I have lost 1.5 pant sizes and gained a great community. Drew and Christina are the awesome coaches and owners of this great gym. They are both very knowledgeable about physiology and exercises. They can always explain the movements and also why we are doing these movements. They have created a great atmosphere where everyone encourages everyone. Also, the other coach Jeff is also very knowledgeable and definitely reflects the quality of coaches at this gym. All the exercises are scaled according to your current abilities with the goal of always improving at something. The price is also worth it because of the kind of attention you get from the coaches. You would be paying a lot more at any other regular gym for personal training. Come if you are ready to get fit and be part of a great fitness family!
Jumping on the exercise machines at 24hr fitness on a daily basis was not enough to get rid of my chronic low back pain. After rounds of pain meds/physical therapy, I joined this place and got my life back. The hands-on coaching and functional training built up muscles I needed for everyday life like loading the dishwasher or unloading groceries from the car. My low back pain was replaced with an encouraging community pointing me towards a can-do mindset and proper form.
Joining CrossFit Pendulum has dramatically changed my life!Its not just about working out, its about relationship and encouraging one another to live a healthier life style.I am always so excited to see what our Work Out of The Day is going to be and I am continually surprised by how far I have come and what I have achieved in such a small amount of time.The fact that we always have a new work out every day that is put together and taught by experienced and educated trainers is fantastic. The quality of one-on-one attention that all of us get is beyond compare. It is amazing to me that we have the advantage of having a personal trainer right beside us, cheering us on and helping us become more skilled athletes, without having to pay hundreds upon hundreds of dollars.I have only been attending CrossFit Pendulum for two months and my clothes are looser, I am stronger than I have ever been in my life and I am accomplishing goals I never even thought were possible, like back squatting more than my own body weight.I actually get excited about working out. It is not a chore or a hassle. It is a blessing and the best part of my day.The trainers at CrossFit Pendulum make everyone feel so welcome and like we are part of a family.There is no going back to a typical gym for me, CrossFit is my way of staying fit, focused, balanced and connected and I look forward to even more results and establishing greater connections with the people of our Crossfit community.I encourage anyone who has never experienced CrossFit to go as soon as they can, they will never want to leave. =D
I started Crossfit back in 2012, but was hesitant to go back after having brain surgery in August of 2017. When talking with Drew (owner/head coach), he was very empathetic to what I went through, and assured me that his staff of coaches would share the same regard and care. He was right. I have nothing but great things to say about this Gym. They take fitness seriously, but they know how to have fun too. I love this gym!
This is a fresh edit after 5 years of being a member at Pendulum Fitness. I cant find a better fitness facility nearly anywhere (and I travel for a living and do a ton of drop ins!). Pendulum is perfect for beginners, novices, intermediate athletes, injured people, highly competitive athletes, and everything in between. Ive gone through many seasons here at Pendulum now, and this place not only keeps me accountable and healthy, but also truly feels like home. Thank you Pendulum!
A great space to workout, improve ones fitness levels and learn crossfit. Staff is very accomodating to each members fitness levels and would adjust workouts accordingly if needed. Staff members are also very approachable and this is one of the few places where i never felt intimidated to ask questions . This is the perfect workout place for beginners and/or advanced learners 💪
I am not an exercise person. Ive tried everything from hot yoga to boot camps and simply been happy when the six weeks were over. I signed up for the 6 week Best Self Challenge in November. Id not been doing any type of exercise - none, zip, nada, zilch - and jumped right into 3 days a week.I loved it. I enjoy the coaches and the other members. The coaches work with your limitations and encourage you to do a little more as appropriate. I never felt pressured to do anything that might lead to injuries. The coaches all work with your form and its not just about speed or most reps. Its about most reps done right.This is what I told them when they asked me about how I am experiencing CrossFit Pendulum, I am loving it. This seems completely strange to me. I dread it when I see the WOD, but then I get it done and feel accomplished. Yep. Loving it.Your mileage may vary, but if youre considering this, I recommend trying it. I never thought that Id find exercise I want to do.
The instructors precision on accomplishing any exercise, is outstanding. Jan and Astrid (trainers) adjust the exercises to help ensure we accomplish the days exercises and their positive energy permeates the group. Glad to be part of CrossFit Pendulum!
I started at Crossfit Pendulum as part of a 6-week challenge at work. To be honest I probably wouldnt have just joined this on my own but I am glad I did. I am older than most here, overweight, out of shape and have some health and balance issues so I was a bit reluctant. Drew is my Classic Class coach and he is most supportive of my health challenges and is working to help me overcome them. When I started I couldnt do the jump rope at all. They started me out just jumping and moving my hands to imitate the jump rope. The first time I used the jump rope and did it 7 times in a row!! That might not seem like much to you, but to me it was a miracle. Now I am up to 50 times without stopping - amazing. Everyone who attends the class are very nice and supportive. You have athletes working alongside the regular folks and there is no judgement. During my first few weeks I was last in doing my number of rounds. When I ran my last 100-meters, the entire class ran with me even though they had already finished their workout. That made my day! I just had my 6 months at Pendulum and have lost 15 pounds and 2 inches. Better than that, I gained confidence, stamina, energy, I am stronger and am able to do things I never thought I could do again. My health is better, my balance is better, I feel better than I have in years. Dont be shy if you have health issues and think you cant do this type of training. This is the place for you, the coaches will work you through it and adjust the workout so you can succeed. You will learn the proper way to do exercise so you wont hurt yourself. If you are looking for a place to work out in a supportive environment and see results, then I urge you to give this place a try. You wont regret it. See you at the Box!
I was in search of a new gym after being out of CrossFit for a year due to an injury. I was looking for a place that would help me while still dealing with my injury, but also challenge me to become strong again. I came across this gym online after doing some research and decided to visit. I can confidently say that CrossFit Pendulum has been hands down the most welcoming gym I’ve been to. Everyone from Drew (owner) to all the coaches have been nothing but helpful. The facility itself is beautiful and spacious. I’m extremely happy to have joined and now being a part of this amazing CrossFit community! 💪🏼
BEST BOX EVER! I have been here for about 5 months now. I was hesitant to join crossfit because I thought I would look like a man or injure myself, but honestly it has been one of the best experiences. The coaches and amazing, safe, and truly concerned about the big picture of fitness. It has truly changed my life to be apart of this box and I HIGHLY recommend it. I have been to other boxes but this was marginally better. Come to this box!!!
Awesome coaches, great classes. Ive had amazing improvements in my strength and stamina while gaining muscle and losing fat.
Ive been a member here for a few months now and i could not be happier. Each time I go, i get a workout and a personal coach. Today i was learning a new move and Coach George was so patient with me and by the end of the hour I was able to do what minutes before i could not. He broke it down and piece by piece taught me how to fight for my first overhead squat. This is an amazing place with amazing people... and my life and body are changing!
Incredible staff, well maintained box and more importantly an awesome and supportive community!
CrossFit Pendulum is the full package of fitness. They have 1) great, experienced, and knowledgeable coaches (who are super caring too); 2) a healthy, encouraging environment that pushes you to grow; 3) a strong community of people at different levels, but with the same goal of learning and getting stronger; 4) affordable prices with hands-on training. The list goes on and on, but if youre looking for a box to grow your strength, performance, and function, while also improving your physique aesthetically, then CROSSFIT PENDULUM is the place for you!
Great coaching, awesome facility. Staff and members were super engaging and welcoming. Totally worth the drop in and or checkout of youre looking for a box in Pasadena.
Great community of people who want to work out with knowledgeable trainers who want you to do your best
Everyone is super energetic :DEnvironment is very niceCoaches are very helpful+2 EXP+10 HP:D
I have gotten stronger and leaner and worked on my mobility.(lunch time WOD are the best)great community, great coaches
This is the box all other boxes should aspire to be. If youre an athlete looking for a solid WOD, supportive members and knowledgeable trainers, look no further. If youre worried about Crossfit because youve read horror stories online, or your family and friends (know it alls) all told you Crossfit would injure you, but you still want to try, this is the place for you. The trainers are there to help you push yourself while maintaining proper form and safety at all times. They will help YOU meet YOUR goals, but youll be doing the lifting.Ive been coming to Pendulum since August 2017, and they welcomed me with open arms. Ive done weight training for 10+ years now, but Id noticed my strength was good, but my stiffness and mobility was becoming restricted, even with an active job such as mine. After just a few months at Pendulum, I feel great. Drew, George, Jenn and Dario are always supportive and pushing you to achieve more. Even when youre a crumpled heap on the floor, fighting for breath, theyll encourage you to keep moving.The facility keeps expanding, new faces keep arriving every week, and the competitive spirit is alive and well. I cant think of too many 101 Crossfitters who complete the 101 classes and dont enroll in a full membership. My son comes with me all the time, and theres a small play room for children.Youll be happy here, and find yourself reaching and exceeding new goals every week. Best of all, the trainers and other athletes will watch you closely to make sure youre doing not the most weight but rather the movement the most right.
I always say I dont necessarily love crossfit but I do love my crossifit, aka Crossfit Pendulum. Its different from most crossfits because of the incredible coaching for starters, technique and safety are important here. I am a physical therapist and I always agree with the coaches assessments of sore muscles and the cues they use to help us activate certain muscle groups. They know how to ensure that you protect your body from injury and always appropriately scale things. Secondly I have found an amazing community of people. There arent cliques of elite athletes vs. average athletes and I feel that any member genuinely cares for the other members like family. I am definitely committed to this box and feel at home here.
Love working out here !
Hard core work out if you stick with it it will pay off
They listen to your needs and scale accordingly.
So good!
