    It took me a while to come to Sanctuary Fitness. I never looked high intensity interval training and I was afraid it would cause middle school physical education torture flashbacks. Nope. None of those things happened. Sanctuary fitness makes HIIT workout fun. It’s a nice atmosphere with good music and bodies off every size. The instructor are welcoming and provide modifications to exercises if you need it. And they’re actively going around to make sure everyone has good form and is safe! The music is good. The space is super clean. The front desk staff is sweet and welcoming. They know who I am! They greet me by name. It’s quite nice. I signed up for a member after my second class. I especially like the schedule. There are a ton of classes which I appreciate and has been hard to find in DTLA. The parking is on the street and every easy and the meter is only a dollar- two additional hard to find things on DTLA. I am glad I took a chance on Sanctuary Fitness.

    Such a great workout! I love the variety and energy. All the trainers are awesome—they strike the perfect balance between pushing and encouraging us. The staff was so helpful answering my questions and making sure I got signed up for the right package for me.

    All classes start on time and everyone has great energy! So far all 5 classes I gone to have been great! I was intimidated at first with all the moving from station to station but it is easy to catch on and the instructors are there to help you figure it out! Thanks Sanctuary DTLA!!

    Sanctuary is my favorite workout, and it's not even close. There's enough variability so you don't get bored, and time goes by quickly! I've gotten a LOT stronger and more toned, and actually look forward to working out here (and dread most other workouts that aren't Sanctuary :D). The instructors keep you motivated, and I love that you rotate between stations.

    The workouts here are fun and challenging. 50 mins class goes by so quick and you don't realize that class is almost over. I def recommend trying out their free first class and their promo deals whenever available. Plenty of parking available and free after 4pm! and if you go in the mornings, you can smell fresh bread baking as you walking from the nearby bakery. ENJOY!

    I'm so happy I found this place. The classes are tough but not impossible. The instructors have a modification for every workout if you're not able to do the workout yet. The instructors are all motivating and super kind. The environment is very welcoming. I would recommend this to anyone looking to join a welcoming gym/studio.

    After almost two years of false starts, Sanctuary Fitness finally got me back to working out consistently!!!! In just under an hour, you get a full body workout. The instructors are super helpful, genuine humans that made me feel part of the group from day one. I finish every session feeling exhausted, content, and accomplished. It’s only been a few weeks and I’m already feeling SOOOOO much better in my body, more energy for my day, improved attitude, and that guy in the mirror is looking fitter and more himself everyday.

    Amazing workout with really fun, uplifting instructors! Can get a little crowded, but the station rotations make the class really seamless so you never have much downtime in between moves. Be prepared to sweat and have a great time.

  • 5/5 Sharon H. 2 years ago on Google
    These workouts are incredibly challenging! What I love about Sanctuary is that all body types are there working their a**es off. The studio is very inclusive. All of the trainers are great, they encourage you to do your best, the music is good, and they make sure you feel good about the work you just did in class. Also, they're very safe with

    This is definitely one of the best gyms in Vegas, from cleanliness to friendly staff. The coaches are amazing! Awesome place to train, has that old school feeling.

  • 5/5 Epiphany S. 1 year ago on Google
    If you enjoy HIIT this workout is for you! The gym is visually appealing and the music is up to date and fun. Staff is friendly and the instructors will correct your form. No complaints!

  • 5/5 Anthony G. 1 year ago on Google
    This place is amazing. From day one everyone at front desk and all instructors are very friendly and welcoming. You are part of the family as soon as you walk in the door. The classes are a great work out filled with motivation and positivity. Hard to find a business that runs as awesome as Sanctuary Fitness.

  • 5/5 Nick S. 1 year ago on Google
    Beautiful HIIT gym instructors are fantastic. It's a great way to get your heart pumping and it's a fun environment. Nothing but good things to say about Sanctuary Fitness go check them out!

  • 5/5 Erin D. 1 year ago on Google
    Great place for group fitness classes. The instructors make sure you use proper form with every exercise. They made sure to provide modifications if needed. Everyone was kind and welcoming. Great environment!

  • 5/5 Theresa L. 1 year ago on Google
    Great workout! I’ve been to the DTLA, Pasadena and Ktown locations and the instructors are always very friendly and motivating. Class always goes by faster than expected because you’re constantly doing something new.

  • 5/5 Joshua C. 1 year ago on Google
    Here you will enjoy fun music, instructors, and, most importantly, great HIIT exercises. I’ve always wanted to be healthy and feel tjoy after Working out. Then I met Zach at our shared offices which gave me the motivation to work out at his gym!

  • 4/5 Jonathan N. 1 year ago on Google
    Sanctuary Fitness was on my radar after seeing it next to Boomtown Brewery. An IG Ad popped up with a deal and was promoting a new location in Koreatown, which is close to home. I had no choice but to try this place out! I just could not pass the deal and was looking for a new gym with group classes.

  • 5/5 Zuani O. 1 year ago on Google
    I was really scared to work out because I didn’t know what to expect. I was scared I wouldn’t be able to keep up but the instructors are very helpful when you need assistance. The people taking class are also very kind and helpful when you have a question on what the next task is. I feel comfortable coming. I’m happy I took that leap and went for it because now I don’t want to stop

  • 5/5 Ivore W. 1 year ago on Google
    I Love SF. I just started not too long ago and I have been going every day. It is a very clean gym with a welcoming atmosphere. All of the staff are so nice and the instructors very supportive. I love it here! DTLA location is really nice!

  • 5/5 Jonathan K. 1 year ago on Google
    I've taken around 5 classes at both the Koreatown and DTLA locations. Everyone working at both locations are very kind and helpful. The instructors are great and do their best to motivate everyone throughout the duration of the class. The classes themselves are perfect for beginners and veterans alike as you are tasked with choosing your own weight moving at your own pace. The days are split well with push/pull/leg days strategically placed to avoid overworking a specific muscle group. I would recommend boxing in the DTLA location for those who are interested in beginning their journey at sanctuary.

  • 4/5 Denisse R. 1 year ago on Google
    I’ve been looking for different ways of getting back into a new workout routine and Sanctuary Fitness has been amazing!! I love that it’s nearby work and early classes so it’s easy to fit in a class! I do wish they offered more boxing classes since they’re my favorite workout class!

  • 5/5 Barbara T. 1 year ago on Google
    Love it!! Although it is a group setting everyone is in their zone, I don’t like to be social when working out so I love it! Workouts are intense but trainers give multiple options to address all levels of difficulty.

  • 5/5 Thu A. M. 9 months ago on Google
    This is one of my favorite studios in the art's district. They have quality instructors and it's always a fun workout. Highly recommend!

  • 5/5 Connie C. 1 year ago on Google
    Sanctuary has been such an amazing experience! Lots of street parking and when you walk in you are greeted with the sweetest workers! Easy to access lockers and changing room! All the classes are so fun and they have awesome music playlists to really get you pumped up!

  • 5/5 Ofelia C. 1 year ago on Google
    Really enjoy the variety of workouts, pace and instructors at sanctuary fitness. I can always expect to do something different and challenging. Great way to strength train and spend 50minutes of your day.

  • 5/5 Veronica L. 1 year ago on Google
    I am currently on Day 5 of the 7 Day free trial and I am definitely signing up to become a member. I already feel stronger (and sexier)! Throughout the session, the instructors walk around and correct form/ push you to perform and be your best self. I really enjoy the sanctuary moment at the end of class where we lay down and stretch/ meditate. It allows me to bring intension to my day.

  • 5/5 Courtney G. 2 years ago on Google
    I started my Sanctuary Fitness journey in late July 2021!! I must say that I am truly in love with everything Sanctuary Fitness offers! Shoutout to Zach, Sabrina, and Tara who are AMAZING instructors. They motivate you, they push you to go harder, and they are there to help you along the way! If you’re thinking about checking out a class or two I’d say stop thinking and just do it! It’s truly the best decision you’d make!!

  • 5/5 Cassandra G. 2 years ago on Google
    First off, I want to say that the staff at Sanctuary Fitness DTLA is great! They are super motivational and really push you to be your best! The exercises are really great too. They offer an awesome introductory week or 2 week promo to get a feel for the class. Definitely recommend!

  • 5/5 Patty L. 2 years ago on Google
    Great studio located in downtown la! It's been more than a year since I've exercised due to the pandemic, so I signed up for a 2 week membership (great deal) to get back into the fitness routine. Each day targets a different focus area, so you can sign up for the days/classes based on what you want to work out.

  • 5/5 Millie B. 2 years ago on Google
    This was the best gym in our city! The facility and equipment, as well as the welcoming environment, were excellent. They had outstanding customer service and friendly staff. That's incredible!

  • 5/5 Cindy P. 2 years ago on Google
    Since gaining a few lbs and working from home for over a year, it feels great to be back at a high energy class with energetic and motivating instructors. I will be coming here regularly. Ample street parking, clean facilities and a good variety of equipment. Great music!

  • 5/5 Jarret L. 2 years ago on Google
    This has been a great place to get back in shape after being stuck at home for the past year. The workouts get you going, but they're pretty forgiving if you're out of shape or just starting out. Personally, after doing crossfit for a few years, I was afraid of getting injured and I wanted to do something lower impact but still high intensity. Sanctuary has really nice equipment and the staff are all welcoming and wonderful. Highly recommended!

  • 5/5 Sharleen M. 2 years ago on Google
    Sancturary Fitness is great!!! I always leave feeling empowered and worked!!! If you are looking for a fun way to work out in a group setting, this is the place to be! Staff are friendly and helpful, facilities are beautiful and well kept! Just make sure you leave ample time to commute and find parking because it is located in the heart of Los Angeles. I've been going for some time now, and I already feel stronger!!! Exercises are also easily modifiable for anyone looking to make things easier, harder, or more accessible.

  • 5/5 Ari G. 2 years ago on Google
    Great gym with awesome classes. The instructors are great and super hands on. It’s LGBTQ+ friendly and very welcoming to beginners who might not know the moves. The people are also super welcoming, all in all, great gym!

  • 5/5 crystal e. 2 years ago on Google
    I’ve been a sanctuary member for a while now and I must say I really love it after all this time! The instructors always carry amazing energy, are friendly and fun! Sanctuary safety standards throughout the entire pandemic made me feel safe and welcome. I would definitely recommend for anyone to try, all fitness level welcome and they work with any pre existing injuries. :)

  • 5/5 Joseph B. 2 years ago on Google
    Sanctuary is an awesome atmosphere to workout in and the staff/patrons are all super friendly and helpful. At no point did I ever feel lost/confused, and every exercise can be modified to suit your own physical limitation needs. The workouts themselves are really great, never repetitive and always get my heart rate up. Would highly recommend, especially since you can get your first class for free

  • 5/5 Susan C. 1 year ago on Google
    Love going to Sanctuary Fitness! I appreciate how thoughtful they are with their workouts -- each class has been really different, and each day of the week focuses on different muscle groups (e.g., upper body, lower body, cardio, etc.). The variation helps me stay motivated, and no matter what format the class is it's always an awesome workout. Staff are really nice + welcoming and it's all around a great place to work out at. Check it out!

    If you want to have a pool party for your child or grandchild, this is a great place. Family and friends gathered yesterday afternoon for my grandson's birthday party. Staff was great, the pool was reserved for our use and everyone had a great time. There is a charge for parking but it is a necessary convenience. Staff provided minimal decorations in the 3rd floor party room and provided plates, napkins and utensils. Views from the room were gorgeous. Pool and changing areas were clean and the three lifeguards were more than attentive. I highly recommend this venue for children's parties.

  • 5/5 Conrad M. 1 year ago on Google
    What a fun place! I come here once a week to get some conditioning layered on top of my usual weightlifting. The classes are energetic, dynamic and always a good time. The instructors are motivating and helpful in correcting movements without being overbearing. Can't wait to go back!

  • 5/5 Ashleigh H. 2 years ago on Google
    The instructors are friendly, knowledgeable, and good about providing additional coaching or instruction without putting you on the spot. Front desk staff are really friendly and make it a point to remember you and your name. This gym is a breath of fresh air after the pandemic.

  • 5/5 Caporal M. 2 years ago on Google
    I really enjoy doing the HITT Fusion classes at Santuary Fitness. All of the instructors there are all great and motivating. The workouts are different and challenging each time. It's great that they have different modifications for all workouts for those with different fitness experience. It's a very clean and organized gym which is very important to me.

  • 5/5 Tanisha L. 2 years ago on Google
    I've been coming to Sanctuary for about a week now and really enjoy it. I was looking for a change of pace from other group workout classes and I like these because they really good energy, full body workouts with great instructors. All of the staff are really nice, motivating and promote an inclusive fun environment.

  • 5/5 Jakk M. 2 years ago on Google
    I just started going to this gym because I was looking for a new workout and wow! The energy and vibe is unmatched plus the classes and trainers are so on point and bring so much! Very happy with everything and the results are incredible.

    Sanctuary Fitness offers great workout classes! They are one of the most affordable options I have found so far in LA while staying high quality in what they offer. If you're looking for a HIIT class that's upbeat and challenging... this is it! Logan is my favorite instructors, he always has tons of positive energy and makes class fun.

  • 5/5 Dwayne B. 10 months ago on Google • 1 review
    I have been to other "boutique" Fitness gyms in Los Angeles and this is definitely one of the best HIIT workouts that I've done. I've worked with 3 different trainers in group sessions and they are all very energetic and attentive. Even though it's a little out the way for me, I still make the drive because of how good it is.

  • 5/5 Gabby F. 8 months ago on Google • 1 review
    I love going to Sanctuary because it’s such a fun, uplifting and welcoming environment. I was nervous at first because I’ve never taken a HIIT class before but the instructors are there to help and motivate you. I now enjoy working out and look forward to coming to class every week!

  • 5/5 Brodie B. 9 months ago on Google • 1 review
    This is a great place to workout. As soon as you walk in, staff greet you with good, genuine energy and enthusiasm. The workouts are fun and challenging and leave you feeling accomplished and confident. It is also in a great location and very aesthetic.

    Such a great environment to get in a great workout. The trainers are amazing! They are the perfect blend of pushing you hard enough throughout the entire workout and also ensuring that you're properly performing each exercise. The staff is extremely helpful! Highly recommend!

    Regardless of your fitness level, Sanctuary will help you build your confidence and achieve your fitness goals. The instructors are all engaging and encouraging so you’ll definitely push yourself to your limits at each and every workout. I highly recommend Sanctuary if you’re bored of your current gym routine and want to work out in a fun and challenging environment.
