Full Out CrossFit

I went to Full Out for 2 years and absolutely loved it! Marco, Jason, and Leah make the workouts (while challenging) fun! Crossfit whipped me into shape unlike any workout that I’ve done before. The coaches do a wonderful job of motivating, while being sure not to push anyone past their limits or doing anything that could cause injury. There is a great community atmosphere at this gym — more than any that I’ve ever been to. If you’re looking for a gym in the mid-​wilshire area, you definitely won’t be able to find a better one than Full Out!

I went to Full Out 3 days a week for 18 months and loved every minute of it. This was my first time trying a Crossfit gym and Marco, Jason and Leah were the perfect coaches to get me started. There’s a real family atmosphere at Full Out, and I encourage anyone who’s shopping around for a great, steady, high-​intensity workout – to give them a try.

Great facility and instruction! Do it!

Coming to this gym was my first time trying out cross fit. I called in and they were honest with me over the phone about the special introductory period for the first month which was the best deal out of all the other gyms i’ve called.
I attended about 5 intro classes before moving on into the regular cross fit classes. I kid you not, even the intro classes are a bit intense. Marco, the head coach, will teach you everything you need to know during these classes. Very motivational guy and makes the classes genuinely fun. And it helps that everyone that goes here are very friendly.
PROS; clean gym, good equipment, great coaches, awesome introductory fee discount, and male to female ratio is about 50 – 50 so no one is intimidated.
CONS; parking would be the only issue as most of the street parking are permit only. I got a ticket unfortunately =(My tip would be to come 5 minutes before 7, when the class starts, and park curbside along S. La Brea street as parking becomes open at exactly 7 PM.

An amazing gym! I worked out here for the summer while on vacation from Arizona. I bought the groupon, signed up for my intro class online and fell in love with the gym and people instantly. This was my first experience with a crossfit gym. I’ve always just worked out at a gym on my own. This is so much better than that.
My fears in joining a crossfit gym were that people would be mean, they wouldn’t check form as the workouts are for time, and that I’d have to do the exact workout as it was written.
All were proven false. Everyone was so nice from the very first day. Everyone learns each other’s names and encourages each other to do their best and pushes each other to get those 5 extra pounds on the bar. I only worked out with Marco and Jason (I think they have another trainer in the evenings) and they were great about explaining the lifts, demonstrating, critiquing poor form, and suggesting the scaled down version of a workout. Everyone is at a different level and everyone has a different goal so you have the option to scale any workout so that it fits what you are capable of and so you won’t hurt yourself.
I loved it and can’t wait to work out with them again when I go back to LA!
Thanks for an awesome summer.

Marco and the team at Full Out Crossfit are some of the most knowledgeable instructors in the game! Correcting form, motivating and enthusiastic on a daily basis is very hard to find but not here at Full Out. They were patient and knew the limits a new comer such as myself could reach. The first week was tough but as soon as I got into a rhythm, Marco and the team at Full Out were there to congratulate me!
If it wasn’t for moving, i’d be a happy member at this amazing gym!

Very pleased with my experience at this gym. Coaches each bring a unique personality and passion to the floor. Fellow gym goers are very friendly and encouraging, great team environment. The variety of exercises that make up the WODs keeps things fresh and fun (and kick your ass).
They do their best with rotating different class offerings and times; not always convenient if you prefer to attend a particular class at the same time everyday. Not a major issue, but something to consider. Main barrier is the price, which is not necessarily high for CF in L.A.
Overall a very positive 3 months, and happy to recommend this place.

Got a groupon recently and tried calling and emailing to set up an appt for an intro class and this place is so unresponsive. Even groupon emailed them but nothing! At least I was able to get a refund from Groupon.

I joined this gym sometime last year through a groupon and I LOVED it. I started with intro classes and then moved to regular classes, I enrolled in class by emailing them and then I would just show up without a problem. I became a member after a month. I have always had a problem with building strength. Doing Crossfit completely changed the way I perceived weight training, I went from not being able to do more than 5 push-​ups to doing over 30 without completely burning out. I went from struggling to pick up a 10 pound dumbbell to training with weights that exceeded 35 pounds.
For anyone who is looking for a good Crossfit gym this one is a great place to start. I took as many intro classes and I would advice that all new comers do the same. The trainers are great, Jason was very patient with me even when I struggled. He did his best to make sure I got the hang of things. And Leah is by far the BEST coach I’ve ever had, she would not only give me feedback but she would also monitor me to make sure I wasn’t totally screwing up.
Aside from taking the intro classes, I would also advice new members to be patient and not over do it. Some of the veteran members have been doing this for a LONG time and they can do some pretty amazing things. I took my time, I was never injured and I still achieved pretty great results.
The only cons:
I noticed in trying other Crossfit gyms, that this gym doesn’t have a lot of different equipment to incorporate into workouts I. e-​battle ropes, hanging sit-​up bars, etc. which I would’ve preferred.
I also didn’t like their billing system if I needed to go on vacation and put membership on hold it was kind of a hassle.

I love to mix it up with workouts and don’t consider myself a «crossfit person». I thought it would be way over my ability, but to my surprise I really enjoy coming. I find the instructors, especially Leah, to really care and mold the exercises to my ability. I just need to stick with it and show up more often!

HORRID! I purchased a Groupon for a month of crossfit classes and had to get Groupon to refund my money!
After my session when I thanked the instructor I asked him how do I sign up for classes his exact response was «just email us when you want to come in and we will let you know if there’s room in the class.»
…Well after a week of emails and phone calls and receiving zero response I got Groupon to refund my money. It seems like all of the negative reviews of this place are from Groupon/​Living Social customers. I buy and sell Groupons and the whole point is to promote business through your services. Clearly these guys are missing the point.
The only reason why I give the place 2 stars is because it was relatively clean and the other people were nice. Otherwise, don’t waste your time unless you’re willing to take a $ 160 plunge into something that may or may not be right for you.

My girlfriend and I joined Full Out gym about a year ago. We fell completely in love with it from day 1. The classes are for all levels of athletes. Trust me… I am horribly lazy, but Marco is a good motivator and the other Full Out members are extremely supportive and encouraging. It’s a great atmosphere to work out in.
We originally had concerns about safety after reading numerous warnings about CrossFit, but Marco and the other trainers are really good about teaching you proper technique. It’s been a year and I haven’t been injured yet so that’s a good sign!

Marco and his team at FullOut Gym are awesome! My friend and I bought a groupon to finally try crossfit and I’m glad we did it at FullOut. Marco and his team are patient in teaching you the correct basics and definitely encouraging to advance. The BoxFit class alone is worth going to. I would recommend FullOut to beginners and for anyone looking for a new crossfit gym to join, I know I will be going back!

I have been coming to FullOut for about 5 or 6 months now and I would like to address a few of the issues listed below, but first let me say that this is a very welcoming box with knowledgeable instructors and a family like atmosphere among its members. Everyone is friendly and welcoming. I have enjoyed the experience and have seen great results. I highly recommend giving this gym a try.
1. Concerns about group deals — I joined on a groupon deal and felt the value was great and decided to continue. The point of group deals is to try out a place at a low cost to see if the atmosphere is right for you. Still the negative feedback seems to mostly from users who were expecting some sort of ²⁴⁄₇ gym experience or didn’t want to follow the same gym rules and policies put in place for safety that all members follow. This is not 24 hour fitness or another full service gym. It was very easy to request a class via email and I was never turned away. Once I joined, they added me to the online class scheduling system the gym uses for members.
2. Issues with intro classes… They are mandatory and for everyone’s safety. Many complain that they were forced to take a certain number of intro classes and others are worried there is not enough instruction. You can’t have it both ways. There are specific classes to work on form if you feel that you are not getting the movements down correctly and the instructors are usually around the gym all day and open to people dropping in if you want to workout when classes are not scheduled. You just have to email them to see if someone will be around. If you feel that you need more help with certain lifts, they will give you plenty of attention.
3. Billing, I have adjusted and stopped my billing numerous times due to travel and other issues. Most gyms require a 30 day notice. They will cancel your membership the day before. All it takes is an email. People seem to be upset that they didn’t take the time to cancel beforehand.
4. The atmosphere — I think, as another reviewer said, this comes down to personal preference. Different times of day have very different atmospheres. Personally I like a lower key workout experience were I do not feel pushed to lift beyond what I feel comfortable with, which you will find in many boxes… This can very easily lead to injury. Afternoon classes tend to have fewer people and are more low key with personal attention. I have had many 1 on 1 sessions. Morning and evening classes have a lot more people and are more high energy. Again it is personal preference.
I hope that helps!

Amazing gym and most of all very friendly and knowledgeable staff. The gym is always kept clean and constantly updated with new equipment.
Scheduled classes are always on time which is a plus if you are on a tight schedule. gym also offers multiple different Classes, Stretching, Boot Camp, Kick Boxing, Olympic Lifting, Crossfit, ETC… constant new classes are always added as well the good thing about this is with a Membership you can attend any class you would like you are not limited to just one like any other crossfit gyms.
Marco, as well as all the other trainers make you feel at home and have always been there for me when I had a question or concern.
Thank you Full out Crossfit for all your AMAZING Workouts.

if you are thinking about buying a groupon DONT do it! They don’t have a special system for you to register to classes, so every time you want to go to a class you need to send and email and if there is some space left you will go to the class. Members have priority. For me it was definitely not worth it.

Well I guess I should have listened to the reviews. I bought the groupon. Signed up for the mandatory intro class. Showed up. They canceled it without telling anyone. The guy said «you should have gotten an email». Yes, I should have, but I didn’t. I plan my whole day around my workouts so it’s pretty frustrating.
I won’t be going back. If you can’t figure out something as simple as notifying people a class is canceled, then you don’t deserve my business. Keep the Groupon money.

Got a groupon for this place and I really thought it was a great workout. All the instructors take their time to make sure you don’t mutilate yourself while doing some mega hard core exercises. I appreciate that! They’re also great to allow you to pace yourself if you aren’t as fit and beastly as the athletes that are regulars there. You do what your can and no one looks down on you. The only reason why I’m docking a star is because the place is small sometimes it’s hard to move in there. They do keep the classes down to 15 people though so at least it’s not horrible. Worth a try especially if you grab a Groupon! The owners and trainers are so nice and they really want you to succeed.

I signed up for Full Out Crossfit with a Groupon 30 days of unlimited classes. I was in search of a new workout regiment — something that would challenge me and help me to get the desired results. Immediately after signing up, Marco and Leah definitely worked me out in ways unimaginable. After my first class with Leah (the Women’s bootcamp class) I was walking around like a penguin for three days because my thighs were so sore (the good kind of sore).
It’s only been a month since my first class and I’ve already noticed a drastic difference in my body composition. I have discovered muscle in places I didn’t know existed, my posture has improved and I’m much stronger than when I started (I’ve also lost weight). There are still days in class where I feel like quitting, but the instructors are so encouraging and always pushing you to dig deeper and work harder. Marco has pretty good taste in music so that will keep you motivated as well.
If you are tired of the same routine workout then give Full Out Crossfit a try, you won’t regret it. In comparison to other Crossfit gyms in the area their prices are pretty reasonable, not to mention the instructors are very personable and knowledgable. My favorite classes are the Boxing and Women’s bootcamp classes. I definitely plan on becoming a full time member at FullOut.
Check them out and let me know what you think :)

Here’s the thing. I work out a lot, a LOT, but I’m not tiny and I’m ruled by fear. So imagine how scared I was to try this
…but my friend L went from super pretty to rockstar babe in 3 mo. I swear she lost 20lbs and possibly got 3 inches taller, tanner, and blonder. Sure, I’d love to follow suit… but just the classes themselves are worth it. They’re almost* fun.
(*Almost is relative)
Marco, the guy that owns it is really friendly and cool and laughs at most my jokes while I drip sweat on his nice floor. He plays decent music, too, which can keep you moving when you want to lay down and die. The other crossfitters there seem nice and nobody is judging anyone, there’s no weird vibe, everyone is just trying to survive. It’s like Gravity, but it only lasts an hour and is in mid-​Wiltshire and not outer space and no George Clooney (sorry, ladies.)
It’s not expensive compared to most of the per workout classes and things like spinpilates or cardio-​dodgeball or wheelchair tossing or whatever junk trend workout LA has cooked up this month.
Woo. I like this place.
