PHAROS Athletic Club - Los Angeles, California

This place is much larger than it looks from the outside. It has a “cross fit” style training area, free weights, kettle bells, a cardio room, yoga room and a boxing area with a full ring!

After parking in their private lot you’re always greeted by a smiling face. Drinks and shakes are available for purchase. There’s a great sense of community here. I’m excited to take more classes like the handstand mobility class with Nick — you don’t find classes like his at every gym.

The general manager is extremely kind and accommodating. He answered all my questions and told me about classes he thought might peak my interest. Loving it so far!

Pharos is both humble and iconic. It’s where you go to learn to love what your body is capable of. I’ve gone to all kinds of classes there with a broad range of instructors and can confidently say that they all understood and challenged me.

Thank you to the team for bringing the joy, motivation, challenge and acceptance to every class and making me the strongest I’ve ever been.

This gym stands head and shoulders above the rest of its competition. From the moment you walk in, you’re greeted with a clean, welcoming atmosphere and a staff that genuinely cares about your fitness journey. The equipment is state-of-the-art and meticulously maintained, and there’s a wide variety of classes to suit every fitness level and interest.

What really sets this place apart, though, is the sense of community. The trainers are not only highly knowledgeable but also incredibly supportive and approachable. They make you feel like more than just a membership number. It is a true gem in the neighborhood and your answer to a new you 😉

I can’t say enough great things about this gym! From the moment I walked in, I felt welcomed by both the staff and the members. The community here is incredibly supportive.

The facility itself is top-notch, with state-of-the-art machines that make every workout efficient and enjoyable. Everything is well-maintained and spotless, creating an environment that truly motivates you to keep coming back.

And I have to give a special shout-out to Django – his massage skills are absolutely next level! Whether you’re recovering from an intense workout or just need to unwind, Django works magic to relieve tension and leave you feeling refreshed.

If you’re looking for a gym that offers not only the best equipment but also a welcoming atmosphere and exceptional staff, this is the place to be. Highly recommend checking it out!

Pharos is an amazing gym on the east side. Amazing equipment, beautifully appointed, clean and convenient. The staff is amazing, including Pete, Sue, and Alex. Love the sauna too

Just finished 300s class at Pharos. Never before have I managed to stick with a gym this long. More than that, Pharos has become one of my favorite places and communities in all of LA. They got everything right. Thank you for getting me into the best shape I’ve ever been.

Pharos BUILD classes have been fantastic! The trainers pay attention to form and provide assistance during the workout. It’s a great mix of barbells and dumbbells to really target the right muscle groups. Would highly recommend!

Great experience at Pharos Echo Park. The trainers and staff are incredibly friendly and welcoming. There's a huge variety of classes as well as extra amenities like the sauna, massage, and smoothie bar.

The cardio area and equipment can get crowded during peak hours. However, there are so many options that you can usually find something available with a bit of flexibility.

also - the gym is deceptively large with many rooms. I always ask where a class will be so I don't wander around aimlessly. Thats the one thing that would be great to add on the app!
