BodyFactory

I love this location.
Great products.
Delicious smoothies
Freshly made cold press juices.
You must check this out.

I came here for a birthday gift because they have candles (which are my favorite), cute cards and other cool items. They also have tanning here so I decided to come back and have a spray tan-​it came out a perfect bronze color, not too orange which some do. I’m very pleased with the results and will continue to go tan here. The staff was very friendly and helpful!

Love getting a bodyfuel with water instead of pineapple juice after my workout. The taste is spectacular not comparable to any other protein shakes. I could live of it. The only downside is that for some reason I can’t get the same taste when i try to make it with their powder even though it’s the same.

No prices listed anywhere for the smoothies, food and beverage. Also calorie counts missing. When asked, the associate said «the owner doesn’t put the prices so people want it more». Pretty stupid in my opinion.
Touch screen used for the credit card transaction process, asked for a stylist to use for the screen, I was instructed to use my finger, I told the associate I didn’t want to touch the screen that everyone touches and it was unhygenic.
I like this store for the candles, everything else needs help.

Man, what a genius concept. juice bar, funky novelty store and tanning salon all rolled into one. Good luck not spending$$$ Walk in to get a smoothie and walk out with a silver geisha statue. meditation cd .aromatherapy candle. maybe a facial cleanser.
The staff are so cool and the smoothies and juices are good. Body fuel and mojito mint are my 2 fav drinks so far. Essential for after a good workout.

I really do like these smoothies. 5 Stars in terms of taste.
But…
They are expensive — $ 7 each.
The staff is soooooo slow in terms of making them — you will wait.
You burn through the calories quickly and will be hungry soon after you finish the smoothie. (So not really a meal replacement…)
Still I will still continue to get them on occasion. The Bitty Berry smoothie just takes so good to me.

Great tasting smoothies with good protein. Healthy and filling. Also super friendly staff.

Dairy-​free folks beware! All Body Factory locations no longer have vegan protein. There are no vegan protein options here at all. This place used to have my favorite smoothies. Now they’ve lost customer.

Body factory is a real treat! The smoothies are a little expensive so I only get one –two per week. Not bad though if you eat it to replace a meal. And you get what you pay for.
I love the staff here. They are helpful
And knowledgable about the wonderful variety of smoothies they have. Thank you Will for my smoothie today. I love the pea protein instead if whey! It gives you your daily amount of vegetables. Try it if you get a chance

I’m obsessed with this place. I come in like twice a day and everyone is so sweet. Protein shakes with 40 g of protein and all your vitamins plus awesome shopping while you wait! Austin’s the best and makes phenomenal shakes… Always greeting me with a smile and his mustache. I could live off this stuff.

After passing by BodyFactory at least a hundred times after Crunch, I finally decided to be a baller and try this place out. As much as it psyched me to feel healthy just by walking into the store, the smoothie itself was grossly overrated.
I had the tropical trip and it tasted nothing tropical! It was definitely over-​sweetened. Not sure how that massive scoop of protein was supposed to fill you up. It obviously didn’t work for me. All the fruits are straight from the freezer (i guess you can call them fresh as long as they are freshly frozen). There’s not even a choice of size so you are stuck with a 24oz cup even if you hate it. For $ 6, I’d rather go to Jamba and feel like a fat ass.

Rude dude today at the store. My son has health problems and can’t intake sodium so I asked about sodium content of their drinks. Unfortunately all of them contained some sodium. When I asked the very nice lady helping me if they have juice thinking juice may not sodium, this dude looked up from his computer and said they don’t sell it separately. What’s the difference if I would be willing to pay full price for juice without all of the sodium. I also asked if the juice was fresh and he said no it’s filtered this or that and my son wouldn’t like that. He was rude and disinterested in helping us at best. What a dbag. I will never go to the store again and will tell all of my friends the same.

I love this stupid place

Went here to search for celebrities. And also to get some awesome gifts. This place is candles galore. I mean, where can you find scented candles that already comes with matches! Another thing that i found interesting was their very own body fuel. Natural ingredients, real fruit in a protein smoothie? Dont mind if i do. I’m a big fitness and health enthusiast and this place rocks for post workout protein shakes. Change the way how protein smoothies should taste! I wish i lived closer to this place so i can workout then walk here to get this healthy delicious concoction to replenish my hard working muscles. Oh wait, I’ll just order online!

My friend and I go here all the time. Great to have a smoothie after working out — glad it’s right next to Crunch. We even come here on days we don’t go to the gym…
Delicious, nutritious… And there are really awesome trinkets in the store. The books are the best — very positive and carefree thinking.

Pretty great ambiance, with tons of supplements like protein powder and vitamins. Also, lots of fragrances, candles and nick nacks. I’d definitely recommend it for a post-​workout smoothie at 24-​hour fitness, too, especially the 280-​calorie (huge) Bitty Berry smoothie, which makes you feel great/​rejuvenated. The only thing is it’s ridiculously pricey, so you might want to buy a smoothie package in bulk so you save some green.
Will be back for a $ 6 Bitty Berry smoothie, but not without guilt!

After moving from SF to LA, I decided to pay more attention to my body. Got a membership and trainer at Crunch, started counting calories, and eating better. I decided to try out the smoothies at Body Factory.
The lowest calorie smoothies are the Body Fuel (optionally with vegan vanilla) and Bitty Berries, and I’ve become totally addicted. In fact, they are my daily lunch. And they taste awesome.
The employees are friendly and helpful. And not so bad on the eyes, by the way!

Body factory has been part of my main diet for 6 years now. I found the perfect drink… Bodyfuel, extra bananas and half water. If you are a member you get great deal on supplements also. My membership was free back in the day not sure of it costs now? Also they have great little gifts, I come here for my works white elephant party gift exchange!

What a weird place.
After a «hike» up Runyon, my roomie and I decided to get some protein in our bodies and she suggested Body Factory. As we approached the store I kept walking because from the entrance it looks like a boutique gift store… and it is. You can buy greeting cards, photo books, etc.
Then as you walk further into the store you realize you can also work on your skin cancer in the tanning booths.
Further in is a section entirely for Fido. Dog treats, fancy toys and other pet accessories.
Finally, you arrive at the juicing/​café/​smoothie/​coffee shop place. There are healthy smoothies, wraps, juices and coffee drinks. You can also buy a juicer or special blender for a couple hundred dollars… just in case you are a spontaneous juicer buyer or need to blend things, like, now.
I ordered the PB&C which is banana, peanut butter and low-​carb chocolate. I had them throw in a shot of espresso for a bit of a pick-​me-​up. I couldn’t even taste the espresso though.
It was tasty enough and since they are supposedly packed with protein and other good things… I felt good about downing the whole thing.
This place is good for a quick snack or a quick tan or a quick gift for those visitors of yours that you want to impress with something boutique-​y looking.
Overall I feel that this place was an accident when a group of friends all wanted to open a store together but no one could agree on a concept.

I got my ass kicked hard in class at Crunch tonight. As I walked down the stairs to the first level of the complex, I was drawn in like a moth to a flame to Body Factory’s neon blue & green lit store.
They finally opened their doors, so I wanted to check out the digs. All of the guys who work in there are super friendly, upbeat and greet you with a smile when you walk in. Gotta love great service. That earns you gold stars right there.
It’s pretty small but nothing wrong with that! There’s a small lounge area up front with magazines. Cool candles, gifty stuff and sports/​nutritional supplements are on the wall to the right, and in the back area is the smoothie making station and a small table of naughty items. lube, massage oil, etc.
I’ve read about their famous «green body fuel» protein shakes, coveted by stars and fitness buffs all around L.A. You figure that if you’re going to try a new place for the first time, it makes sense to try their most popular item to make sure it lives up to its hype. There’s only one size (24 oz) but it only has 200 something calories (yes, I asked) and no additional sugar added. It’s got 35 grams of protein and a bunch of green/​raw goodness. And, I gotta say, it tastes pretty damn good. It’s not cheap though — $ 6 a pop.
The direct effects are yet to be determined. I feel kinda high. but that’s probably the endorphins pulsing through my system. We’ll have to see how I feel tomorrow. I do think the shake is a great way to pump yourself full of nutrition either post workout or post-​rock star level abuse to your body. You owe it to your body on the latter. so shell out the $ 6. You’re worth it. ;)
