Want something v different and fun? We’re talking different workout, but in a very different type of location! This workout does not take place in a studio, but in the owners home! She has a studio in her backyard, and although I was super confused about this at first (no warning … lot of shock!) I absolutely fell in love with the class and vibe. Think SoulCycle, but on a Versaclimber machine instead of a bike. RiseNation is a full body workout on the versaclimber, and it will turn your body into jello after (but in the most amazing way possible). This place will have you sore in all the right places for days.Īnother 1/2 hour workout that needs to stay a 1/2 hour workout because it’s THAT hard. Core Power Yoga Sculpt is my favorite … think yoga meets fast paced barre with weights. I know there are Core Power’s all over the country, but I absolutely fell in love with this location specifically! I find it to be not as packed as many others, and the workout is SO tough and SO on point. Locations: Beverly Hills, The Glen Centre I really recommend this studio, regardless of your Pilates level! On ClassPass. And yes, that’s Eden Sassoon who was previously on The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills. It hits all the elements of a reformer studio: pretty, clean, inviting and seriously challenging. I’ve tried a ton of traditional reformer classes, and in my opinion, none beat Eden Sassoon’s.

I am seriously blown away by anyone who can do this class back-to-back because I struggle getting through the first 4 minutes! Socks are required.

The instructor will have you doing regular moves on the Megaformer, except it will be moving on inclines and side-to-side, which can make holding on the biggest challenge of all. Lagree is the inventor of the megaformer machine, aka the OG, and they are the only studio with the new Supra Machines that are controlled by the instructor (each machine has 5 iPads connected … not exaggerating). I am not kidding, this is some of the toughest stuff I have EVER done. I love Lagree … it’s consistently amazing everywhere I travel! LA has something special called the Lagree Supra Class that we need to talk about. It’s a definitely must try! It’s also on ClassPass. We also love that you can book your mat in advance, so you won’t worry about getting a bad spot if you’re not 10 minutes early. Even the lockers are named after rockstars and pop-artists. They’ll bump everything from hip-hop to classic rock here, because sometimes the sound of nature just doesn’t cut it. And, it doesn’t hurt that they have a DJ controlling the music. It’s a yoga studio that is exclusively “beats” driven … aka, you can depend on the fact that you’ll be flowing to a solid track. Not a dancer? Don’t worry, neither are most people in class! They incorporate simple-to-follow moves, and they offer many classes that don’t have any dancing at all (including Trampoline Cardio). This studio gets so much light and I love how friendly and outgoing all the instructors are. I always know when I go to BBS that I’ll leave feeling great afterwards. They offer tons of classes, which are often a dance-cardio + sculpting hybrid. Long and lean is the name of the game here and we love the BBS vibes, especially in WeHo.

Locations: Brentwood, Studio City, West Hollywood. Feeling a cardio and barre mix? No problem! It’s also on ClassPass. It’s also great because if you’re going to do back to back classes, you can get two completely different workouts.

I’ve been more times than I can count and even brought my boyfriend to an abs class … which he absolutely felt! I love that this studio offers everything from Barre Fit, Recovery Fit, Ab Fit, HIIT Fit to Regular Plate and Deep Stretch (+ more). To be fully transparent, the first time I tried this class I was a bit thrown off by these – but after my second try I was totally hooked. It makes every single pulse, move, or even flinch feel 10x harder due to the vibration. I always make time to pop into PlateFit when I’m in LA – and yes, it’s only a 30 minute workout! The whole class is done on a vibrational plate (or next to it), which might look crazy at first, but I swear it’s super easy to use. Without further adieu, here is a breakdown of my fave classes in LA … you won’t see your usual SoulCycle or Barry’s on this list! Additionally, there are tons of 30 minute express workouts great for when you want a short sweat to compliment a hike, or are just in a time crunch (isn’t this always the case?!) I love LA for many reasons, one of them being they have some of the BEST places to sweat – dare I say even better than NYC!? Generally, the studios in LA have an overall brighter vibe and they’re also the first to see some of the most innovative machines. Hey Guys! Dale here! As someone who frequents LA, I receive tons of questions from you guys wondering where to sweat it out while there.
