Sanctuary Fitness - Pasadena

Love Sanctuary! Super nice instructors, clean facility, fun equipment and structured workouts. Coming here is a highlight of my week - would recommend!

Sanctuary Fitness Pasadena is one of the few HIIT workout gyms around. Because I took a break at another gym, I decided to try this one out because a running buddy had twisted my arm to go. The workouts are intense. It's divided into 4 stations with 2 substations where you rotate between A and B. It's kinda confusing at first, but the instructors do a good job of demonstrating the workouts. If you do it right, your muscles will be sore the next day. I feel that Sanctuary Fitness gave me a better workout than the other gym. If your muscles aren't as sore the next day or two, you aren't doing any work.I thought the gym was pretty small than what I've been used to. Equipment wiping after each station is mandatory. There's also a "unwind" session at the end of the class, but you can probably do your own stretching if you're inclined to do so. Plenty of parking (paid, but cheap) in the garage, or the streets.

Sanctuary Fitness is amazing! I am exploring different gyms & classes in Pasadena recently and immediately become a big fun of sanctuary fitness. ALL instructors are so kind and encouraging. They not only explain different moves in details but also offer alternatives to help you. The environment is also great. Definitely worth your time to check it out.

Amazing place with great workouts! The instructors and staff are all super friendly and welcoming. The community is very supportive. Equipment and facilities are top notch. Overall an amazing value and I always leave classes feeling great.

The folks at the front desk are always helpful and welcoming. The classes are challenging, and because I'm still getting fit, I do need a lot of modifications, which all the instructors are very good about providing. It is a group, so you are not necessarily going to get 1:1 feedback about your form, but the group energy is what I need to keep motivated. You can always flag the instructor if you need help or a reminder on how to do an exercise but it is kind of on you to do that.

I tried their 7 day pass and visited 6 classes overall. The vibe and people around you really stand out, and it is a fun environment. The trainers do a good job of explaining the workouts and encouraging you to push to your personal limits, high or low. The workouts are fairly challenging, for the most part. Different types of workouts are spread throughout the week so you are working out a different area and muscle everyday (push, pull, legs, core, cardio). Experience level matters, and you can always modify as you please. The classes are packed, music is loud, and you will walk out feeling better about yourself. I would definitely recommned taking a class if you are interested.

Sanctuary Fitness has an amazing HIIT workout format. There is various types of equipment and it is kept clean. The instructors are helpful and energetic. I get a good sweat from going from station to station. Overall a great place to exercise. The facility is neat and enjoyed the shower and amenities in the locker room.

I've been working out/training for 14 years now and so happy i found Sanctuary Fitness. Classes leave my body more sore than i have in a long time. They take the guess work out for you; plan the work, show you the movements, and bring the energy to get you through it. The sanctuary time at the end is a great quiet and recentering moment that we often do not take on our own time. Go check out a class, i highly recommend a Tuesday Morning with Sharon as your coach.

I live outside of Pasadena and the commute to Sanctuary Fitness every morning is so worth it! I’ve tried several work outs and gyms in the past but never felt the same energy and motivation Sanctuary brings. I love the variety and combination of exercises as well as the music, atmosphere and most importantly the people. Everyone is super friendly and makes you feel at home. It’s always good to start my day with a work out at Sanctuary Fitness!

I came to Sanctuary Fitness at first because I saw a good deal on Groupon, who knew I would be here at 7am everyday since! I love Sanctuary Fitness because the workout is awesome, so many great instructors (we love you Sharon!!) 😍 You have to be fully vaccinated in order to workout here and the stations are tapped off to 3 people per station. I feel very safe and I love working out here!
