I’m happy I chose this box in my short stay in LA. Very welcoming box- coach and people l! Richard was big on form and technique but yet wasn’t pushy. Will definitely be Back. Oh and I love How the box is organized and the awesome quality of the Equipment. 🥰

Located in the heart of Downtown Los Angeles, CF Muse is at the perfect spot. The gym is well-equipped, clean, easy to navigate, with superb equipment; great facility overall. Drop-in is super easy and can be arranged online. The staff and instructors are amazing — they’ll make sure to meet your training needs.

I am glad to have met Richard Kittlaus, a steadfast humanitarian in a world filled with primarily contemptible people. He created by far the best CrossFit facility around. This location is mint from staff, equipment, and the facility itself. From the ownership to the management and coaches, CrossFit Muse has the friendliest and most knowledgeable staff in the business of gyms today. Experienced CrossFit coaches give hands-on instant feedback and adjustments during the workouts with just the right amount of encouragement while leading the workouts. The workouts are fun, and the fellow members are inspiring. The music is awesome, and the atmosphere is incredible. I am certainly satisfied thus far and have been blown away by my experience at this facility. I have visited many gyms, including CrossFit gyms, and CrossFit Muse just felt like the best choice from the start. This gym has created a life-changing experience for me, and I will no doubt recommend it to all my friends and family.

I stopped in for an Olympic weightlifting class when I was in town for a conference. The coach was incredibly knowledgeable and I felt even that one class helped my form. Everyone was super friendly, made me wish I had longer in LA! I highly recommend.

Dropped in two days and had a great time! It's a big, bright, airy gym, and owner Richard keeps all the equipment in tip top shape. Programming has a good mix of strength and skill work alongside workouts. Everyone was very welcoming, and coaches were attentive and gave suggestions and encouragement without being overbearing. There's a shower if needed, and dropping in is both cheap and very easy to sign-up for. Great place!

Went to their Pride month friends and family class on Saturday, June 17th, 2023. Was invited by my friend Kenny, who's a member at the gym. I had such a great time working out there, and the community and instructors there are all really friendly and welcoming. Have never been to a gym that welcoming before. Y'all are amazing!

There's a great community here where coaches are invested in seeing you progress with whatever your goals may be. It's been over a year since I've joined, and I am not only getting stronger, but my times on benchmark workouts have been improving significantly. Members and coaches are very friendly, supportive, and inclusive.

The best CrossFit gym around! Rich and the team create such a welcoming and friendly environment to work out in. Regardless of level and ability, you will be pushed and coached in order to become the best possible version of yourself! The workouts are designed in a way that you will see progress if you are consistent. Also, fun arranged activities outside of the gym are a nice way of making friends and feeling like you are part of a community. I just brought my friend along for a drop-in and she learnt more in 1 hour then she had in the past few months at another gym! I would definitely recommend CrossFit Muse to all :-).

This GYM!!!! ABSOLUTELY LOVE this gym! I am new to CrossFit and CrossFit Muse made the transition into CrossFit very easy in terms of teaching the movements to make sure you were doing the proper technique. The coaches are well-educated and know how to motivate you to get stronger without pushing you over the edge. CrossFit Muse is a great place to train and is definitely worth the investment. Also, I must say this gym is so CLEAN! The floors and equipment are cleaned routinely and I appreciate this on a deeper level. I've been in weight rooms where the medicine balls are disgustingly dirty and my white shirts become brown, which is honestly disturbing. NEVER HAPPENED TO ME AT CROSSFIT MUSE THOUGH! The owners Mara and Rich are great people; this gym is truly a family community. It is a great place to workout and get better each day with a group of people that care about you achieving your goals. Grind never stops, except for Sundays because those are for rest days. (-:

Muse for sure! $300 initiation fee plus a monthly membership to join at this Shoe Box gym with no parking and 1 bathroom. I figured out that price is arbitrary depending on members and nepotism. I walked in with so much respect especially after owner Rich like to brag he's an immigrant, single mother raised, blah blah-- his cat died blah blah, he even likes to brag about his rehabilitated rescue pit bull dog. Yet, won't help low income members of the surrounding community who are exactly like him join unless you pay $520 to join this Shoe Box. The story he gives you is all muse. If you like the circus and drunk clowns...you'll feel at home :) Side Note: One star for Hayden --excellent coach and 1 star for Anna -- excellent coach.

Had a great experience dropping in at CrossFit Muse today! I’m traveling for work and they made the entire sign up process incredibly easy and we’re very welcoming. The box is spacious and with great equipment. Got a solid burn at 6am to start my day. Will definitely drop in again next month when I’m back for work again. Thanks for having me!

I use the gym as a drop in participant. Gym is clean and spacious. Thanks to Richard and all the Muse members 🙏It was a really warm welcome and a funny wod all together. It was a good experience. When I go back to LA I will visit there again 😇

Great box. Richard was great, ran a good class. Awesome equipment, and instruction. I really liked the WOD, had strength and a challenging metcon! Took time to give me some tips as a drop in which is awesome. Would recommend if you’re in the area

My partner and I dropped in for 23.3 and Richard was great. He was approachable and provided a thoughtful and comprehensive warmup. He inquired about our strategy for approaching 23.3 and we both got coaching cues and tips on our mechanics and technique. The facility and people were awesome. We’ll definitely be back when we visit LA next time!

Awesome place to workout, the coach was amazing, and the community is gold! I felt welcomed the time I spent there. If you are passing by and looking for a place to workout this is it. Plus the music selection and the color blue A+++.

Dropped in a couple of days ago when I was in the area for a conference. Rich and all of the members were very warm and welcoming. Their programming is challenging but fun. Highly recommend this CrossFit gym!

To start, I was a drop in for the CrossFit Games 23.2 and I was welcomed with open arms. The gym itself was amazing from the coaches to the equipment to the shower and their community. I absolutely loved the coaches, Richard and Hayden; they made sure I was comfortable and pushed me beyond what I thought I was capable of. If you’re in LA or ever decide to visit, definitely drop in and enjoy a great workout at CrossFit Muse!

The space is a clean welcoming environment! The coaches and the community is a phenomenal group and will give you the feeling of home, and the energy is infectious! I’ll definitely be back for another drop in. Thanks crossfit Muse <3

Dropped in while in LA for a conference. Scheduling was super easy, programming was great, and really enjoyed the classes and coaching. Definitely recommend!

We did a drop in, Richard was super friendly and helped us arrange the drop in real easy. The box looks great, it was clean and good equipment. the community was nice and welcoming.

Dropped in today at CrossFit Muse! Vibe was great, coach was motivating and the workout was dope!

Great, spacious gym with awesome equipment. The coach (forgot her name) was super friendly and made me feel welcomed. She coached Monday 07/31 from 4-5 pm. I’d highly recommend this gym to anyone visiting DTLA.

Great place to get work out in. Plenty of Equipment and space. Ana was great leading the class through warm ups, proper stretches and a killer WOD. I came in as a drop in now about to become a member.

Great gym! Well-maintained, friendly and welcoming community and awesome coaching! Will definitely drop in again when I’m back in the area. Really enjoyed the partnered WOD program.

i've been going to Crossfit Muse due to the fact that February 2019 and am loving every 2d of it. i used to be entirely new for CrossFit and had no concept what i used to be doing. The coaches are being concerned and provide character attention to anybody. The whole community may be very supportive. thanks, rich and Mara for the whole thing and growing any such first rate health club!!

Muse Athletics was my first experience with crossfit. Its been absolutely amazing ever since day 1. The coaching staff helped me a-lot with scaling the workouts at the beginning and I’ve been getting better and stronger thanks to the programs Coach Rich has been putting for us. Everyone at the gym is super friendly and nice. Thank you Mara and Rich for being amazing.

Muse! It’s my favourite Crossfit box to date. The space is amazing. Its big, bright and clean! High ceilings which means RX wall balls and tall rope climbs. Their equipment is superior which we all know enhances your training and workouts. They have everything. Mara is super helpful and kind. She will also smash you in deadlifts. Rich's programming is second to none. I've watched him program, and its not a quick "stick a WOD together", its planned, thought out, and everything has purpose to take his members to the next level with their fitness goals.He is extremely talented as a coach. His eye for lifting is incredible. These coaches are rare. You feel 100% safe under his coaching. Rich follows the program, as a head coach, he will complete the WOD before he coaches it. A Coach who trains hard! tick! Then something that is super important and can only be achieved when you have the right leadership and mentorship, is the members are amazing. You instantly feel part of the family. Everyone is driven and positive and kind. You can't force that. Thats the result of a happy box. Super professional, the real deal!!! Real CrossFit box! Big love! M x

I emailed Mara about dropping in to get my oly lifting in while in DTLA for a conference and she immediately got back to me with a warm invite to come train. Upon arrival, I walked over to CrossFit Muse and met Rich, the co-owner, who was already made aware of my plan to drop in, and he was just awesome and incredibly welcoming. The box is fantastic, the equipment top notch, and the people were so nice. If I lived in DTLA, I would be here all the time. Thank you so much for the drop in and I'll see you next time!!

Absolutely outstanding gym. Rich and Mara are excellent coaches and very welcoming. As a visitor to the LA area, I couldn't have lucked out more to have found this place. Solid community, great equipment, and everything is maintained perfectly. If you live near downtown LA or are visiting the area, go here! I will be back anytime I travel here again.

As a newbie to CrossFit I could not have asked for a better experience at this box. I immediately felt welcomed by the coaches, staff, and members. The coaches do a fantastic job with programming and scaling workouts. I’ve seen both beginners and more experienced athletes get stronger and faster. They know each of their members well and program specifically with our goals in mind. I am stronger, leaner, and more confident, and all I had to do was show up. Despite the COVID pandemic I continue to develop strength and endurance. I really appreciate the Zoom workouts and Slack platform where everyone can keep in touch and share pictures of pets or other random things. I can’t wait to go back, enjoy that time on the air bike or ski erg (for, like, 20 seconds), give a big hug to everyone (and I don’t even like hugs!), and get back to it.

Amazing space, amazing programming, amazing community!!! I came to LA with my other half from the UK and have been attending CF Muse for the past few months and it was honestly the best decision ever. Coming from the other side of the world we wanted to go to a box where we felt safe, welcomed, could make friends and also get as fit and good at CrossFit as possible. CrossFit Muse does that and more!! Everyone at CF Muse has now become like family to us and we couldn’t thank Rich, Hayden and all the staff enough! Whatever your fitness level, whether you are elite or just a beginner. This is the place to be!

My partner and I started going to Muse during the pandemic and cleanliness was a top priority for us. As a newbie to CrossFit, I was a little nervous going into my first class, but the first week I was AMAZED at how each coach I met made me feel so comfortable. They took the time to teach me the movements and kept an extra eye on me during workouts. They also took some time to ask me about prior injuries so they could take that into account whenever I worked out. Even when I started marathon training, which took me away from CrossFit for a bit, some of the coaches still checked in to see how that was going and even offered to watch me run day of the marathon! Basically, if you’re coming to muse, expect to be supported by the coaches, whatever your goals are.

Great gym— the coaches are knowledgable, the other members are supportive, and the workouts are tough (in a good way!). Unlike other gyms, there is actual programming. Regardless of your level, you’re able to track your progress. My only regret is not having joined sooner.

Can’t say enough about this gym, the coaches, and the community they’ve built at Muse. Every coach cares about your health and well-being, and they’re committed to holding you accountable to your goals and encouraging you on your health + athletic journey whether you’re a crossfit pro or a beginner. The community of athletes is full of incredibly sweet and talented people, and help bring out the best version of yourself during your workouts. If you move to LA and are looking for a Crossfit gym, you have to come check out Muse! One class, and you’ll never look back.

Awesome CrossFit drop-in experience. Friendly and helpful coaches. Great size space in DTLA with all the necessities. They were also very flexible and accommodating with me when I had a last minute meeting. Thanks for the workout!

Dropped in for a class while visiting from out of town. The instructors were all very knowledgeable, the workout was tough, and everyone was super nice and welcoming. I will definitely be coming back next time I’m in LA for work. Would absolutely recommend.

Best decision I made back in 2018. I found my forever home. Amazing community! Rich programs the workouts with a purpose and that is to be a better version of yourself! Hayden pushes you! and leads by example! All the coaches are invested in seeing you progress. I would recommend this gym.

Everyone at CrossFit Muse was so welcoming & friendly! I did a drop-in while travelling and am definitely happy with my choice to workout there. Great programming, and range and quality of equipment too!

Dropped in and had a great workout today! People here are super nice! The space is large and scaling options are available! Love to hear the story about Taylor hahaha. Looking forward to coming back tomorrow!

Visiting LA, Dropped in for a class, ended up staying for two weeks, this place is amazing people is very welcoming , coaches walk you through the process of registration and help you how to book classes. If you are thinking about starting your fitness journey on CrossFit, not better place then this,

CrossFit Muse in LA was a great experience all around. I dropped in from Indiana while in LA for a conference and it was great. The owner, GM, coaches, and members were welcoming and very helpful. From great programming, great coaches, friendly members, and nice equipment, I would highly recommend local people to join and people from out of state to drop in. Anytime I’m in LA, CrossFit Muse will be my home away from home.

The coach was attentive on my lifts. Work out was spot on. All of the members were welcoming, I left the gym dripping sweat! 🔥 I’m excited to join!

I was in the process of relocating to the DTLA area and finding a new box to join that reminded me of home seemed almost impossible. Luckily I came across Muse! The programming is challenging and I appreciate how it’s done with a long-term perspective. Every day the workout brings on something different but seems to build on lifts that we do the week before. Not only is there a phenomenal workout program but several activities to bring gym members together such as holiday toy drives and potlucks. Thanks Rich and all the coaches for investing into each of our life's!
