Easton Gym Co

Writing this in the middle of a brutal migraine attack caused by this gym. Years ago they had a broken piece of gym equipment they left on the floor, and when I went to use it, an iron bar freefell onto the back of my skull. MRI revealed I had a concussion and now I suffer from regular, debilitating migraines. I kept going to this gym (they covered my MRI expense - I should have sued, hindsight is 20/20) and a few months later one of the staff decided to harass me. She said I was being too loud…for breathing loudly when squatting over 220 lbs. Meanwhile other people were slamming weights and grunting loudly with staff doing nothing. She doubled down and decided to verbally harass me until I was in tears, and kept going. Absolute nightmare of a place, so grateful I left when I did. Should have been sooner.

I love, love this gym. It feels cozy, never overcrowded, and has a very calm, welcoming environment. However, the only downside is the women’s sauna. It has gone a long time without really working properly — it’s often not hot, frequently not ready, and only works on rare occasions if I’m lucky. Unfortunately, I’ve heard this isn’t an issue with the men’s sauna, which makes it a bit disappointing. When you turn the clock timer it starts working but is really not that hot overall.

I am a long-time member of Easton Gym (since 2013!) and have come to know the community quite well. Easton is a gem in Los Angeles and the place where I was able to transform my fitness alongside some of the most knowledgable staff and trainers in the city. Easton's owner Toby and his passionate staff have facilitated a respectful and supportive community over a long period of time where all bodies are welcome, member input is prioritized, and most importantly, re-racking your weights and putting shit back where you found it is the norm! Working out at Easton feels like being part of a long tradition in Los Angeles. Even though the equipment isn't as new or exciting as other places and "it doesn't have air conditioning!" as everyone LOVES to say, nothing beats working out within Easton's beautiful brick walls, amongst vintage windows that catch a refreshing cross-breeze and dumbbells that look like they were carried by strong men in the 1940's. Easton rarely gets frustratingly crowded, and its members overall are simply RESPECTFUL, relaxed, authentic, and make this the type of business you can only find in Los Angeles. I love Easton gym!

This is a very old school gym, but in a good way. No bs, just a lot of workout machines and a lot of space and it never feels super or overly crowded when I go. The staff is very nice and helpful and this is one of the few gyms in LA that has a good sauna. I was amazed that Equinox, which is like four times the price didn’t have a sauna and that’s why I ended up choosing to gym here.

Awesome gym I found in that area, best combo of being both never too full and not overpriced and always has free parking. Has awesome roof where you can exercise in the sun, hit the punching bag, or do yoga with a class. Downstairs always has windows open all year so the entire gym is well ventilated and breezy. Equipment is older and it feels like you’re stepping into a historical gym. There are pictures of famous actors that worked out there. On another floor below there is a locker room and sauna where there is free hair gel, lotion, etc. Lastly, most of the people who go there are really fit so it’s quite motivational and gets you to work harder.
