AKT

I never loved working out until I joined AKT in Santa Monica. Hanna is one of my favorite trainers, I actually love allof them, they make you feel welcomed and comfortable with trying new things.

I Dropped in on Sunday at 9 am. I was greeted by Marie, the trainer, and Kate, the girl at the front desk. The birth was very energetic and attentive. They have a few different classes: dance, bands, time, and circuit. When I was there, it was the Tone portion designed to target specific muscle groups. The workout flow differed significantly from what I’ve experienced in other gyms. You consistently move different body muscles while listening to upbeat and motivating music. The movements are small, but you can feel it, and it’s challenging but doable.The aesthetic of the studio is 10/10; very clean and neat.

Been going here for nearly 2 years and it has changed my life! Growing up as an athlete, it took a long time to find a workout that I genuinely looked forward to doing, but also was a true challenge. AKT hits both of those boxes while also providing an amazing community of trainers, staff, and other members who have all become friends!Each trainer is uniquely amazing in their own way - Marie’s energy and positivity are unmatched while always ensuring the strength intervals are as challenging as possible, Jenna always ensures your form is perfect and gives tips to truly maximize your time, Sydney makes everyone in the room feel like an individual super star, I feel like I’m becoming a better dancer and learning new moves in Chace’s class, Nicole always cracks me up and breaks down the dance routine super well, and Adlai’s dance classes are so fun they immediately make me want to go to a party while also ending each class with some much needed self love and motivation.I was never by any means a dancer, and have gained so much confidence and skill through my time here. The non-dance centered classes are equally as challenging and enjoyable.So lucky and happy to be part of the AKT fam!

Never been to a gym or fitness class where they offer a promo for $50 and trap you into a membership you can only cancel by writing a letter 30 day b4 you can cancel. I feel bamboozled. I never even got a chance to take a class and $220 down the drain. Times are hard not worth it at all. I’ve tried many new classes at other fitness facilities and have never felt robbed by any of them. Akt wants your money not your business. Very disappointed.

I love this AKT studio. Everyone has been so kind and helpful to me. The teachers are absolutely fantastic! I love all of them and highly recommend any class Marie teaches. You’ll have so much fun! Cannot recommend this place enough.

Marie is an amazing trainer full of energy and encouraging us to go further than we can on our own. Her classes are fun uplifting!

Long overdue review for one of the nicest, kindest, and best gyms I’ve been a member! The instructors are talented, professional, and in in tune with the students. The staff/management are sweet and thoughtful; they seriously go above and beyond to take care their members. Through illness and injuries (gym unrelated), they worked with me to make sure I can find a work out level and frequency that is right for me. Everyone is awesome, Stacy has taken care of me since day one, so has Rebecca.My favorite class is the Dance class and Marie, Nicole, and Sydney are so talented, but again, all instructors are amazing. Bands is a good mix of cardio and intensity and if you want more challenge, you’re going to love Circuit. Alejandro’s Tone class is on another level; he’s going to work you, but by the time you make it to the stretch segment, you will absolutely thank him for it.Check them out, try an Into class and you’ll be back!

Rebecca helped me crush my very first class! Even with bad knees and lower back she helped me modify it And still feel amazing! Can't wait to come back. The staff and everyone is so nice and welcoming along with the other people in the class.Highly recommend checking it out.

Sydney is THE best! So energetic, funny, human, and one of sweetest and most talented trainers around! She is always so intentional in helping correct form (with tangible examples / metaphors), in hyping us up, and just in everything she does! :') Last night's class ended up being one of my favorite dance choreos since my time at AKT this past year!

Love the variety of classes here. As someone who enjoy cardio but needs to work in more strengthening, there’s a little bit for everyone. Sydney and all instructors always bring a great energy to class!
