Work Irvine

Started getting my work on again it’s been a great week feels like every time I come they got something different keeping me interested and giving me the ability to set new goals for myself as well

There are a lot of gyms in Orange County and I’m sure you can get a good workout at most of them. But when you come to WORK, you change your life. Not only are the workouts challenging (both physically and mentally) but most importantly, the place lacks what most other gyms lack, heart. The trainers here care about YOU unlike other gyms that just see you as a way to make profit. It doesn’t matter what fitness level you are at, you are always welcome here. And because the trainers lead by this welcoming example, everyone who attends these classes is equally welcoming and supportive of each other.
Although you will always get stronger, you will never feel like a workout is getting old or too easy. These workouts are designed to always be challenging and to take your body (and mind) to heights that once seemed inconceivable. When you think you can’t push through, these trainers will encourage you, get on the ground and do one more rep with you, hug you and love on you. They are not just trainers, they are friends.
If you are looking for a gym to stand around and look pretty, this is not the place for you. You’re going to sweat, you’re going to push yourself beyond your «limits», you’re going to leave it all on the floor, and you will never feel better in your life.
Training with this group has saved my life. You simply cannot get better than this.

I had my first workout at WORK last Saturday morning at 8 AM. I sort of knew what to expect since I have done many Groupons for different workout facilities along with being a lifetime member a 24 hour fitness. What I didn’t expect was how much I would enjoy the workout and how much it would push me and motivate me during that hour with Scott Perry.
The facility is really well done. They did a great job with the design it was very functional and modern.
The only negative of the facility is the parking, it sucks ass. I am really just being a lazy ass it’s not that big of a deal but valet and a back rub would be nice. Lol
What they do really well here is motivate and encourage you. I’m in good shape so I did not need fat camp encouragement I needed coaching encouragement. Scott had a headset and microphone on so we could hear him well and he had the workouts set to the music and would turn the music up and down based off of what we were doing. It really friggin pumped me! As a matter fact it was the best workout I’ve ever had. I felt wonderful after my workout and sweated my butt off along with working muscles I haven’t worked in a long time. I absolutely loved it and cannot wait to come back.

WORK WORK WORK…
I was obsessed from day one. I tried a couple different classes including the class they held for our amazing Unilocal Fit event and I could not say no to their competitive pricing. Your body is the only one you have and taking care of it is priceless. I love that I can come to a state of the art facility with people who know what it takes to WORK every inch of your body. Muscles I never knew existed are becoming sore.
This place is gorgeous… Bathrooms to showers to a place to get ready after your grueling WORKout. To the beautifully and meticulously put together WORKshop where you put your best foot forward and get pushed to your max. But most importantly you are trained by an amazing team: Scott, Marybeth, Dane and Kara who have the most amazing credentials. They have an amazing background in nutrition and training… You are in good hands when you come here. You can ask them anything and I guarantee they will know the answer.
I love going in there and getting treated like I belong. Whether you are in the best shape or you are working on it, they remember your name and pay attention to you. You’re not just another person that they are trying to put through a workout.
Thank you to the team at WORK for making it an easy decision for me to sign up as a member. Can’t wait to transform my body to what I know it can be.

Love this place! As a trainer myself, I have been looking for a little something extra to spice up my workouts and get a little more athleticism and explosive training into the mix. This is perfect! I go to the Impact class at noon on Friday with my guy :) I love the atmosphere, the staff, other members, cleanliness, music, & overall design and setup of the studio. Seriously an awesome place. I will definitely be coming back Friday’s at noon for many more butt kickings!

Theeeeeee best gym ever! The trainers & the community are just amazing. Looking to reach your fitness goals? This is the place to be no matter what fitness level you’re in. My fiancé use to only lift weights but after seeing the results he got from these workouts that the master trainers designed it’s something we can’t go without! We love WORK!

What do you get when you go to WORK!!! Just want the word means WORK. This place is full of special people who really are passionate about their work. You can tell they love what they do and they truly care about everyone. Everyone here is welcoming and all there for fitness and fun! All the trainers (Dane, Kara, Marybeth and Scott) are all there to help you with whatever goals you have. Come for a free workout, you won’t regret it. Truly is my one of my FAVORITE places to be :)

Definitely one of my FAVORITE spots to WORK out at in orange county!!! I stumbled upon them in the Classpass index and I can’t imagine not working out there. Work is located inside a business center between Diamond Jamboree and the District. When you walk in, the facility has a cool urban feel and everyone is REALLY friendly. The facilities are really clean and complete with showers, lockers and various toiletries to get you looking fresh (hair dryers, hair products, hair ties, etc.). The actual workout space is HUGE and you’ll find everything from treadmills to weights to sleds to bungees!
At Work, every day is a different workout and no week’s exercises are the same. Since this is a group workout, the trainers really utilize circuit and tabata training. It really gets your heart rate up and gives you such a good burn!!! Here’s the rundown of the week with them:
Mondays are Rooted: LEGS LIKE WHOA.
Tuesdays are Force: UPPER BODY SWOLL
Wednesday are Pulse: Cardio CRAZINESS
Thursdays are Reach: BACK LIKE YEAAHHHHHH (think back muscles and biceps)
Fridays are Impact: Athletic conditioning
Saturdays are Overtime: A review of the week’s exercises and really social (as in you’ll meet a lot of people)
My three favorites are Rooted, Force & PULSE. I always feel so strong and motivated when I leave.
What I love about Work is that the limit their class sizes, so you don’t feel like you’re being herded around like cattle from exercise to exercise. They really take the time to pay attention to your form and give you some extra motivated on those last few reps! The trainers, Scott & Dane, are INCREDIBLE. I mean I just LOVE them. They are so FRIENDLY and genuinely care about getting you in shape. What I also love about them is that they pick SUCH GOOD MUSIC to work out to.
Pros:
–AMAZING TRAINERS

–AWESOME FACILITIES/​AMENITIES
–TOWELS!
Cons:
–Parking is rough (street only)
Tips:
–They are located on the right side of the green building

–First class free

This FITTNESS facility rocks! Dane, Scott, Marybeth and Kara are all fabulous athletes who practice what they preach! They look great and they Motivate! The space is great, the equipment excellent and the workouts truly challenging and fun! I may be one at times, but it’s definitely not for sissies! Be prepared for some serious cardio and weight training WORK!

I wrote a review for this amazing studio after my first workout here and I either forgot to post it (most likely) or since it was over the top enthusiastic that Unilocal removed it thinking a robot wrote it. So here I am writing review #2… yes WORK is that good that I am writing another one!
I knew WORK was something different the first time I stepped foot inside their gym. I have tried out many gyms in the Orange County area and I immediately fell in LOVE.
What I love about WORK:
1) THE WORKOUT. I love that every day has a target area and every class is different. You will never get bored at WORK. I feel like a lot of gyms I was going to had the same «cookie cutter» workouts and it got old fast and i wasn’t seeing results. I appreciate the effort Dane, Scott, Kara and MaryBeth put into the workouts. The workouts are killer but you take it at your own pace and push yourself to your own limits so this gym is created for everyone. I can honestly say I feel the BEST after a WORK class. The energy and music are so great that I find myself feeling as if class has flown by! Be prepared to be sore and be prepared to see results but also be prepared to WORK.
2) THE CULTURE. I was incredible timid my first day walking into this amazing facility and seeing crazy fit people. I was going to try to hide in the back of the class and finish my workout and be done with it. There is no hiding here. The trainers will know you and they will welcome you. After my first time there, the trainers knew my name and I was incredibly impressed! They actually CARE about their members and who they are as people. I actually look forward to my classes at WORK and working out alongside some amazing people
3) THE SPACE. clean facilities and a welcoming space where you don’t feel claustrophobic in. I am obsessed with the attention to detail in design. You actually feel trendy working out here (if that’s such a thing?!)
I came across WORK on class pass and I was so hooked that I actually purchased an additional class package from them so I can go a few times a week when I am in the Irvine area.
All I have to say is WORK is a game changer in the Orange County area and you owe it to yourself to come check it out. You won’t regret it!!!

I have been hooked since I walked in the door! The kindness of the trainers and family like atmosphere make WORK one-​of-​a-​kind. The trainers are very diligent in, watching everyone’s form, and modifying workouts, so you can maximize your potential. The variety of workouts are well thought out, very doable, and clearly explained by the trainers.
The facility is always immaculately cleaned and kept up to the highest of standards. The equipment is new, it’s functional, and is NOT rusted like I’ve seen at other gyms or facilities.
I’ve been coming here for a little over a month, I can feel and see the difference. If you’re looking for a place where you get results, this is your place. WORK will be the best second job you’ll ever have! Thank you Scott Dean Cara and Marybeth for helping me maximize my fitness goals.

Will «WORK» for food! Lol. Yes, you’ll definitely burn all the day’s food off with one of WORK’s intensely awesome workouts! Without a doubt, WORK has got the best trainers in Oc– friendly, fun, and obnoxiously good looking! I can’t think of a better way to start my day than with an awesome WORKout at this amazing brand new facility in Irvine. The WORKouts are super challenging but the trainers and other clients create such a fun atmosphere, time just flies by in class! I’m so grateful for a place as cool as WORK near me.

Gotta get here! This is such a great place to challenge, motivate and inspire you. The trainers are the best. Scott, Dane, Kara and MaryBeth are always bringing new challenges to the workout.
WORK is where to go to help you reach your fitness goals. This is where I WORK to stay healthy and be inspired. The trainers are always pushing you to do your best!
I take the 5am class and it’s hard to get up and workout so early. They make it fun and motivating and helps to make my day great.

You NEED to get to WORK. Seriously.
I was traveling and working a lot and feeling unmotivated about my same old workout routine, so I decided to try something new and I’m so glad I did! WORK is not only a great physical workout, but it’s also mentally stimulating. It’s a new workout every single day and never boring. I’ve taken classes from Dane, Scott, and Kara and they are all really positive, high energy trainers. Be prepared to jump, squat, push, pull, lift, throw, slide, hang, bounce, run (maybe even crawl), high-​five, and everything else in between. :)
Never thought I’d have so much fun at work.

Love this place! Work gives you a great work out. All trainers motivates you and gets you where you want to be. They take the time to train you on proper position and builds your strength each time. I get amazing results. Come give it a try. You’ll love it too!!! Get to WORK!

This is, without a doubt, a GAME CHANGER for your physical fitness journey. Whether you’re just starting out or you’re a gym rat, these trainers will help you get to a whole new level. Each class is a thoughtfully planned out 50-​minute workout that consists of balance, resistance, core, endurance, and cardio. The trainers are the best in Orange County (probably in the world too…). They are able to modify any workout to accommodate injuries and/​or level of intensity for you, so speak up if you need to! They’ll also keep you so motivated that the 50 minutes just flies by!
The facility is top of the line across the board. There are endless exercises that can be completed here between the treadmills, sleds, bars, benches, boxes, mats, ropes, bands, etc. All of the equipment is in excellent condition because of the culture of pride that is in this facility and the community. Each person cleans up after themselves after class by wiping down equipment, putting things away, and treating the facility as though it’s theirs. Everyone here is kind and motivated to push each other! You can expect a lot of high-​fives, smiles, and loud music. Every one is at different levels in their fitness journey too, so you won’t feel like you’re the weak link of the group. Instead you feel like you just walked into the craziest and most excellent family ever.
I’ve followed Scott Perry for 2 years now, and love his equally talented team, including Dane, Kara, and MaryBeth. I highly recommend this place, this community, and these trainers!

Today was my first time at WORK and I have to say it won’t be my last. When I arrived, I was slightly confused on where to park. They have parking about 100 yards away from the facility as well as along the street– which is explained on their website or social media platforms (Facebook/​Instagram) in detail.
Once I entered, I was greeted by my trainer Scott. He immediately gave me a tour of the facility which has a lounge, children’s room, and a giant room full of brand new workout equipment. This facility unlike any I have been to prior also has turf with sleds! I also liked how they have motivating quotes all over the facility.
After my brief introduction, we got started right at 8:30! Our class had about 20 people but I felt that Scott made sure every person was working at their best. The workout lasted about 45 minutes and we stretched afterward. Every day there is a different type of workout and today I tried the Rooted class which is an emphasis on legs. We did a couple different circuits all killer, and extremely effective.
What I loved about Scott and the facility– is that I had not exercised for a couple weeks but he helped me adjust. He recommended weights, corrected my form, and encouraged me to achieve my personal best on my first day there. He also emphasized eating correctly. I definitely appreciated his honesty in how to get results!
I immediately purchased my first package afterward. Scott also explained several packages to me, and classes to help me understand what will be the best fit. I was extremely impressed by how personal WORK was and I cannot wait to become a regular!

Everyone needs WORK in their life because it is the best fitness studio in the OC! You will WORK hard, be challenged, sweat like crazy and come back for more. The owners/​trainers have designed six days worth of amazing functional training that starts on Monday with ROOTED (legs), FORCE (upper body/​chest/​tris/​shoulders), PULSE (high intensity, cardio pounding intervals), REACH (upper body/​back/​biceps), IMPACT (full body/​agility/​strength) and ends on Saturday with OVERTIME (combo of the entire week’s best exercises) which all adds up to WORKing hard and leaving with a smile on your face!
WORK has awesome owners/​trainers who are dedicated, passionate, friendly, encouraging, fun and so supportive. The combined knowledge and expertise that Dane, Kara, Scott and Mary Beth bring to the fitness community makes WORK the only place you need to go to get stronger, improve endurance, be challenged with dynamic workouts, enjoy meeting great members and WORKing your booty off. All that plus the super cute studio mascot, Chance! Don’t delay, go right away!

Hands Down the best fitness trainers in Orange County. You want trainers and coaches to push you, to understand you and your body, to make sure you reach your goals? This is the place.
Scott Perry is the definition of a trainer. He embodies everything that you want in a trainer and is 100% committed to help you achieve your fitness goals. If you want to maintain a healthy active lifestyle, exercise is a must, even in the busy world of our careers. Time is gold to us, when we must work, spend time with family, and deal with all the issues life throws at us… so it is good to know WORK has a lot of slots available during the early morning… before the sun even decides to start shining.
This is a place that I can see myself being a part of for a long time, as the people and the trainers are all great people, and make working out less of a chore.
So go to Work, to put in some work.
BURPEES NOW!!!

Luckily, my lateral move at my day job is now in Tustin so when I found out WORK was going to be less than 2 miles away, I thought perfect, I could go right after work. Which meant I had to buy one of their opening week promos because who doesn’t like a deal but really it was because I like the owners and I wanted to support. I’ve meet the Miklaus’ at Full Psycle and love their energy so had to see them shine in their arena… of torture. ;)
I had been delaying in taking my first class since I had saw some of my friends were sore the next day (in a good way) and needed to figure out a balance between this and my Full Psycle classes. Finally, committed and brought my workout attire with me to work today, so that is was WORK after work and that was this Friday night. Took the 5:30pm Impact class with Kara, which some of you may know her from FP or her former days at Barry’s Bootcamp. I never had an opportunity to take her at Barry’s but my friends loved her there. And if you see this tiny gal, this gal is ripped, I had arrived early and she was demoing moves for the class before and I’m like holy cow, I’m going to die.
Of course, I had to choose a day where it was 90+ degrees, so it was a bit hot in there, I heard they are thinking about installing AC in the future but luckily, they had their door open and plus I spin with an evil instructor *cough cough Paul Harmeling* that purposely turns OFF the AC at times so the temperature at WORK wasn’t that bad.
I parallel parked on the Hale Ave. since there were spaces available, since they don’t currently own the parking spaces, where they are located at, you’ll have to park at 16 662 Hale Ave. instead (this is explained on their website). Some may say, this inconvenient, but hey, you’re here to workout anyways, if a 2-​minute walk is too much for you, you might be at the wrong place (that’s right I’m talking to you folks that fight for parking spots so you don’t have to walk far to the gym and use the elevator, when you are in no way disabled.)
By accident, I went to the other fitness studio, go to the door on the right hand side, that’s WORK door. They recommend signing up online to reserve your spot because you risk the chance of not getting in, if the class is full. BTW your first class is free. You sign off your name or add your name if there’s room and sign a waiver for first timers. They sell WORK apparel and water but just bring your reusable bottle and fill up there. They have complimentary towels for your usage They also have a childcare room if you have little ones. And sometimes, you’ll see their mascot Chance (their cute doggie that loves to snuggle) roaming around.
They have a nice lounge area, which has cubbies for your personal items but if you don’t feel comfortable leaving your stuff out, they do have lockers in the restrooms but you’ll need to bring your own locks. The restrooms are nice, there’s two showers with amenities so you can get ready before work or get ready to party afterwards.
For Impact, the class was split into two groups, by chance I was placed with folks I knew from FP, which included on one of the founders KP and WORK co-​founder Dane. Our group for about 45 secs were on glides doing push-​ups or pikes. And then we switched off with the other group on the treadmill, each time we switched the incline was increased, 3−6−9−12. I tried to turn down my speed and of course lucky me, I was next to Dane so he turned it back on, which I find out I could easily handle (sorry was traumatized from Barry’s). Next our group did squat presses, for now I’ll do 7.5lbs weight and kick it up when I get a hang of it and the other group did mountain climbers with the bungee cord and we switched off. Afterwards our group worked on throwing medicine balls on the ball while the other group did lunges with weights and we switched off. The hardcore did burpees with their medicine balls, I’m not quite there yet. And lastly our group did squats with weights, while the other either did box jumps or side steps. Since we were the last class of the day, we got some overtime.
Completely doable workout and I was a sweaty mess. It always a good sign they have a good thing when you see other folks part of the fitness community there. And don’t worry you can be of any age and size. Let’s see how the good hurt feels tomorrow. Will be back for more because I expect the crazy attire from Dane I saw when he was at Full Psycle.
And it’s not too far from the Diamond Jamboree so I can reload on all the calories I just burned off. This could be dangerous or should I say DANEgerous? ;)

Today I had the pleasure of taking my very first class at WORK!!! And who to welcome me to WORK, none other than the one and only Master Trainer, Scott Perry!
Was so great training this morning at WORK! The workout was challenging and very dynamic, which will challenge beginners to athletes at the highest of levels!
The members and community are great too, and will welcome you with open arms to make you feel right at home!
If you haven’t had a chance to check out WORK, I suggest you do…
WORK is the Newest & Hottest Workout Facility in Orange County!
WORK is also by far the nicest studio in town! With amenities that will leave you feeling that your in the nicest of health clubs!
Not to mention it features the some of the top trainers in the business: Scott Perry; Dane Miklaus; Kara Miklaus and MaryBeth Kurttila!!!
