A well equipped gym that remains clean. Everyone was very friendly which made it easy to feel comfortable, they also provided a tour, offered assistance or to rotate music should it help with your lift. I look forward to being back in the LA area again as this gym is a MUST. Couldn't resist the nice apparel they have up front as well. I have nothing but good things to say and encourage all to check it out.

- $100/month, but no contract which is a plus.- Friendly gym staff.- Some street parking.- Great gym for powerlifting and Olympics, but I wouldn’t body build here.- Chalk is provided.- Best to come in the morning.- Like many reviews mentioned, the music is really loud 😂 You can ask them to lower the volume, but I don’t bother because I listen to my own music through my AirPods anyways.

The gym and staff are cool. Brian(Bryan?) and Oscar are very nice. There’s a group of low iq, pre workout dry scoopin gym bros lol who let the high bmi, low self esteem gym kweens manipulate them because they make their weewees jump. One nearly fought me lol. This has been going on nearly 2 yrs. I admire their persistence. I try my best to get in a get out. I have things to do besides gossip and lift 10,000 lbs. this isn’t the whole gym, just a small group.

If you workout with weights, this place is for you. Many racks and barbells available. Can always do the exercise I want. Highly recommend.

helpful / friendly staff, lots of deadlift platforms, squat racks, and benches, expensive @ $100 / mominus 1 star for the music. it’s so loud that, even with noise canceling headphones it’s not possible to listen to your own music, which is extra frustrating because the music they play is usually cringe. it’s also loud enough to trigger apple watch noise level notifications, indicating that it’s at 80+ dB, which is high enough to contribute to long-term hearing damage

I’m in the area for my birthday (originally from Florida) and wanted to get in a good workout. Mike was awesome and gave me a tour of the facility and made sure I knew what was what. Had a great workout and everyone was super cool. Next time I’m in town I’m 100% coming back.

Versatile gym for all levels. I will always hit Barbell Brigade when I visit LA! A morning workout sets the mood for the day. Get the $50 pass

Great and amazing atmosphere! A lot of patrons are photo ready but they also have the barbaric people like me who don't mind getting their clothes dirty. The machines are well kept and the outside section is one of my favorites. Also you don't have to wait for a squat rack because there are so many there!! By far one of my favorite gyms

Best workout I've had during corona. This place is great for lifting, they have everything you need. The ambience is relaxed and enough space for social distancing and they have and outer space. Even though I might only do 3 or 4 times a month due to corona it still a great place for workout for a great price.
