Staffs don’t wear masks and seem to not enforce covid protocols but they will ask you to store your zip up bags in the lockers for safety. Funny. Otherwise In non-pandemic times this gym is a good 4 stars
Joining Burn Fitness was my best decision of 2020! I joined over the summer because I needed a safe, clean and professional environment to exercise during the pandemic. They have cleaning supplies throughout the beautiful rooftop facility with both, mountain and ocean views.Its clearly a herculean team effort and I am so grateful to everyone involved with keeping the gym in operation, including the front desk folks, maintenance staff, owners and personal trainers. I love taking Carly and Toms group fitness classes in the morning, which has helped me maintain a positive and healthy routine during a really challenging time. Thank you, Burn!Pro Tips:- Bring your own fitness gloves to stay extra safe, clean and comfortable during your workout!- Bring your own water bottle and towel- No showers, so plan ahead
Been heartbroken that the UCLA fitness center has been closed (I am a new grad student and new to LA). This has been a great substitute.Awesome staff, great views, kind members, safe space.Get your burn on.
Burn Fitness is the best gym in Santa Monica. They have a huge rooftop with extensive cardio and weight equipment, which has been ideal for staying active during the pandemic. Im especially thankful for the owner, Tom who has worked tirelessly to support members needs. Its also really affordable to get a membership here, which is hard to find in Santa Monica. Highly recommend.
Great gym Ive been going to for over 2 years. Theyve opened their roof deck during covid and Ive been able to workout throughout Covid which has been great. Highly recommend this place to people looking for a gym that will be open when you need it and have the equipment you need to stay in shape.
Ive asked 4x if not more to cancel membership bc of covid, they not only called me rude for all my attempts, but keep trying to charge my card even after they said Im cancelled! Poor business practices and no clue on customer service. I recommend a home workout over these folks!
Stopped by to check out this gym. Its location is pretty great. You have access to a good varieties of good food after your workout (eat clean please). Everything looks pretty clean as well, espcially their swimming pool. Good job!
The gym charged me an obscene amount of money last month at random without any notice or prior emails or calls ($360 in total) for what they said were membership fees from February when I started the gym (which I did in fact pay back in Feb) as well as the months during COVID. I had to prove to them that my membership had been paid for back in Feb by sending them bank statements and after two weeks of back and forth and terrible communication, they sent me a partial refund. Im still out $80 for a membership fee during the pandemic which is utterly ridiculous. Be careful when you sign up for this gym- they have messed up on my accounting more than once since I started in Feb 2020!!
I’m glad I’ve joined this gym I really like a lot better then other gyms I’ve joined great monthly rates as well I recommend it
Coolest gym in the world. Everyone is truly welcome and accepted here. Great coaches and great people to work out with.
This gym is awesome! From the friendly, motivated trainers to the layout and cleanliness of the facility. If youre interested in finding a new workout that will stimulate your body and mind stop by and try out a class.
RUN AWAY from this place.. everything goes great at 1st until they auto bill you in the middle of covid without consent and then call you rude when you point out in a 2nd email that you dont want to be billed! Worst customer service ever who just keep passing you over to someone else. Very unprofessional! I wouldnt trust these folks with my life in covid if you cant even trust them with your billing.
Great staff. Super Clean. Lots of classes & a roof top workout area. Has the feel of a private gym without the price. 5 Stars!
Great staff and friendly vibes
I thought this was just another “class” studio, but I was very very happy to find out it’s Open Gym, and a nice upgrade from 24HR Fitness. Not only is the space totally clean and maintained but the staff is super friendly. Also: dry sauna. They host a bevy of talented Personal Trainers, and following an initial session with Kit I have no qualms of paying the going rate for his coaching!
Best neighborhood gym in LA! Ive been a member of Burn Fitness for 6 years now and will never use another gym - and I live less than a block away from Golds gym in Venice. Not only have the trainers helped me achieve my fitness goals, they helped me fully recover from a knee surgery I had. My knee is now stronger than ever and I have full confidence in it. Additionally, Burn Fitness is always getting better. Ive seen them grow over the last 6 years and now they are expanding even further with additional basement space. Over the 6 years, the staff turnover has been low and several of the same friendly employees are there and always greet me by my name and with a smile. Anyone looking for a no nonsense, friendly, gym at a great value, Burn Fitness will not let you down.
At Burn, the staff, ownership, and clientele foster a spirit of geniality, mutuality, and helpfulness making my last few years as a member the most enjoyable of any gym Ive experienced.Where else can one work out with the sea breezes invigorating your workout through an open bifold wall overlooking the Promenade?Where else can one run or cycle on nearly a quarter acre of roof deck with city, ocean and mountain views?Where else will the owner himself ask to be of help or urge a better form or technique?If a gym could be an athlete, Burn Fitness would be Aaron Donald, Justin Williams and Danica Patrick rolled into one: not flashy, just a winner where it counts.
Their rooftop gym is open during COVID and is awesome!!!
Well, where to start! BURN FITNESS truly changed my life for the better. I’ve always been a gym goer so having a gym that feels like home is important to me since I spend a lot of time there. The friendly environment and perfect location is the beginning of what’s so motivating about this place. I’ve been working out with my personal trainer for 3 years now, using their online weight loss program, I’ve lost over 20lbs and have been able to keep it off! If you want real results, great customer service, great classes, indoor cycling, rooftop workouts, and a full service locker rooms with towel service included, then look no further! This place really has it all. I will be a BURN FITNESS member for life.
Love this place! Staff is super friendly, the equipment is top-notch, and the locker rooms are nice and clean. The best part is people are their to get better. Seems like everybody really takes it serious, which I appreciate. Their classes are intense (especially RYDE4), and you cant beat the rooftop workout area!
Great gym, very friendly staff. The equipment is up to date and everything you will need for a full body workout. Classes are amazing. Dont forget to check out the incredible roof . TRX, Battle Ropes and more. Loved it.
Love Burn - friendly staff and the members are chill. Check out the (obviously outdoor) roof too. Owner always willing to talk. PS reviews from 5 years ago are from BEFORE current management. Guarantee the current manager is friendly and the gym is not overcrowded at all. They totally remodeled when they took over. Best kept secret in Santa Monica.
Big fan of this gym. Never super busy on times I go (~7am, sometimes 7pm weekdays) and most of staff very friendly. Good amount of classes and machines. Rooftop is cool too. Got a great deal for paying membership fees for year up front. Wont find a better value gym in Santa Monica area.
Been working out here for many years and love it! Burn Fitness is a great local gym with amazing trainers & staff, awesome classes and a beautiful rooftop overlooking Santa Monica. They keep it clean and are always adding new equipment and amenities.
Beware if you might ever want to cancel your membership! I showed up in person to cancel, was told to email someone, I emailed them. didnt receive a response in a week so I e-mailed again, no response. Tried again the next weekend, again nothing. So I called them and was told I had to email someone else! I got their phone number so I both called and emailed them. Emailed again after a week with no response. At this point I was fed up so I called my credit card to issue a charge dispute. that was a month ago, and now I see THEY CHARGED ME AGAIN! despite the CC dispute on the previous month.No idea how else to get their attention, other than to warn others on yelp and google. This feels like this kind of behavior should be illegal. Regardless, this is super scummy business practices: avoid burn fitness!
An amazing atmosphere. Love the fresh air and upstairs is and entire workout area that includes a 40 yard track, battle ropes, trx and all the jump ropes, kettle bells.....everything. Locker rooms are clean and they even have a sauna. People a chill and staff more than friendly.
Best gym in LA! They treat you like family. Equipment is always kept extremely clean and the staff couldnt be more friendly.
This place kicks it. Ive been a member for 10+ years and it has everything, anyone needs. Except pilates. But thats probably a good thing. Great rooftop, cycling, classes, boxing, free weights, high tech cardio machines and tremendous staff. Very clean, never too crowded and always friendly.
Best personal training in Santa Monica. Love the rooftop and classes too! (which are all included with the membership)
I tried Burn Fitness out because its very close to where I stay and work. They gave me a free day to try it out, didnt hassle me about joining and let me do my workout without interference. The facility is nice and clean, the equipment feels new and taken care of, the fellow gym-goers are nice and willing to share. Also the nice balcony/rooftop overlooking the third street promenade is pretty cool, except when the smell of the deep fried foods of the promenade waft into the place - torture for the weak-willed.There are a few things that could use improvement though. Like most places I have tried in Santa Monica, squat racks seem to be as scarce as the fresh water supply (too soon?). Theres only one barbell lifting cage, and lets just say it can see quite a lot of traffic at certain times of the day and can definitely slow down your workout. Too many unused machines that could be replaced with more useful squat racks and lifting cages. Ive also noticed that some of the staff can be a little distracted at times.Overall its a nice gym to achieve gains, but could really benefit from some more traditional weightlifting equipment to save its patrons time. Do recommend, unless youre going to use my squat rack ;)
Burn Fitness is the perfect gym whether you are a high level athlete, a washed up ex jock or a soccer mom. Members and staff are friendly and the owner Tom Williams is a gem of a person. If you want first class equipment, a huge variety of classes or top flite private trainers you can get it here.
Alot of machines..very clean the best planet fitness so far
Worst gym ever. Equipment is old and doesn’t work properly. Tried to take post workout picture in the mirror and stuff start to complain that I can’t do that. Seriously? Rooftop looks painfully old as well as the lockers.
Kejo is amazing, always manages to make me smile after a great workout. Clean facility, great staff
Great location, super friendly staff, and incredible trainers. Highly recommended 👍🏽👍🏽
Have been coming here for years and wouldnt go anywhere else! Great location, always clean, staff is friendly, and theres an amazing rooftop workout area.
Many different fitness levels represented here, so dont feel intimidated.
Great place for trainers to take new clients here. Awesome location, small and friendly staff. Keep it clean.
Great gym, never overly busy, always clean.
Great gym, clean, well maintained. Great trainers.
This is one of the worst gyms I have ever been to. Heres why:1- The Heat - There are no ceiling fans and so the place is always hot and humid. They have one open balcony but no wind gets in because there are no other windows. No cross circulation. It gets so hot in there Ive felt like I was going to pass out from heat exhaustion.2- The Employees - They have the most unfriendly employees Ive seen in a gym. Never a smile, never a hello. Theres a blonde haired guy with short hair, a big egghead, and slouching forehead who works in the morning usually. Hes completely aloof and ignores people swiping in. On top of that, there are two women working there who just look miserable all the time. They dont even know how to properly open the outside door from the back.3- The Machines - There is about one machine for any given body movement. Then again, there isnt much room anyway. You find yourself breathing on top of people who are working out inches from you. There isnt even enough room to stretch.
Best. Gym. Ever.Shredded is my favorite class hands down. I would recommend it if you are looking for a low cardio but heavy on weights work out. Tabatta and TRX are pretty great too. I would love to try Insanity®- wish it was on any other day but Tuesday!
It was a complete package for proper body fitness...
This gym is absolutely terrible. Their staff harassed my friends for over an hour. Body shaming. Do not go here.
Very good views
They’re not a member anymore
Amazing
