Velocity Sports Club

Nice gym and you will get in good shape if you Train here. they also do sports analysis do not go to anyone else but them for it, they are the best in the business

Velocity has meet my expectations because of Chris my son trainer for speed. We live in burbank and as soon my 13 year old soccer player start to train with Chris he enjoyed and had fun and want it to keep going and training with him. He’s on time and professional and respectful. We truly recommend him as a trainer for young people. Thank you for making a great experience for my son. And because of him we give the place 5 stars.

That’s strange, I paid for the PT in card. First and foremost the trainers here are phenomenal. They’ve either played in the NFL, College, trained D1 collegiate athletes, or have been in the Olympics! I’d say that’s quite an experienced training staff. The in house trainers are always willing to answer my questions as long as they aren’t training a client. Training here for well over a year has helped me accomplish and demolish my goals! With the in house nutritionist there, I set up a meal plan to pack on muscle and shed fat! Feeling a little sore? No worries schedule an appointment with the massage therapist that works here! Reasonably priced and can work on you right after you get done working out! With a chiropractor on staff as well a little realignment will have you feeling like a new man!!!
Constantly seeking to improve the facility the new management (a little over a year) is fulfilling everyone’s needs. New sleds, new medicine balls, rearranging equipment to make more room for functional training! Ladders, water bags, cones, punching bag, air bikes, massage tables, foam rollers, 35 meter track plus a turf field that’s pretty sweet!
Group classes are offered as well! An eRly morning class a mid day lunch break class and a late evening class! Along with a class for high school athletes looking to take the next step right after school lets out!
Going on and on about this place might not convince you. Coming in and seeing the place first hand will.

I was reviewing Unilocal to look for a great gym. This place had great reviews and I was looking forward to checking them out. Until I saw the reviews of their competitors and I noticed how Velocity tries to get business. See the Unilocal a velocity employee wrote about one of their competitors.
«I’m more of a customer service person myself, the place can be nice but without that it’s worthless. Maybe I caught him on a bad day but either way, not at all how I wanted to be treated. So my suggestion is check out Velocity Sports Performance at 11 611 San Vicente. Nice place, nice people, and a great studio. I’ll check back in a couple weeks to see if this review has been deleted.»

My trainer started training at this gym a few months back. It is walking distance from my place which is a major plus.
It’s not a huge gym like 24 Fitness, but they have a good selection of cardio equipment and machines. The gym has a little sprint track and a large mat area as well.
What I really like about it is the people who workout there; everyone is there to better their fitness level whatever that may be. There isn’t a predominant age group; its a good mix of high school, college, seniors and everyone in between. There are lot of women who work out here — sometimes more women than men.
I start my workout between 7am and 10am MWF and it’s busy, but not ovrely crowded. I walk to the gym most days, but have driven and found street parking easily except Friday (street cleaning in the morning!). There is a stacked lot in the back with a valet, but not sure how it is set up.
If I could have anything changed it would be
1) Only show sports on the TV. Why? I don’t like to see the news at the gym; I feel it’s stressful, depressing and non-​motivating.
2) Put a few long mirrors up high on the West wall. Why? because when you’re using the cardio equipment your back is to the door (bad Feng Shui).
3) Put a few spray bottles with the disenfecting/​cleaning spray around the gym with paper towels or those wipey things. They have them up front, but it’s inconvenient.
Overall it’s a nice gym with a nice staff and good vibe.

I went here for a while. It was fine. Certainly not great, but fine. The gym is often dirty. That said, it was close and cheap, so I put up with it. However, they recently SUBSTANTIALLY reduced their hours. They now close at 4pm on Saturdays and 2pm on Sundays. What a joke. That was my final straw. I am willing to put up with a lot of close and cheap, but not that much… I won’t be going back.

I’ve only been a member for 3 months and I can’t tell you how amazing this gym is. I don’t even want to call it a gym. It’s a sports complex.
The people that work out here are motivation itself to want to stay in shape.
The trainers are all amazing, very knowledgeable, and understand that not every workout should be the same for everyone.
I am not committed to signing a 2 year deal, no gimmicks. It’s straight to the point.
Parking is a little tough but they have valet parking if you want to use that.
I don’t think I’ll be looking for another place to work out.

I was unhappy with their reduced hours and failure to carry NBC sports but the manager recently informed me that he purchased it at my request. I was considering terminating my membership but have decided to stay as I feel they value me as a member. The trainers are second to none and the equipment and facilities are good.

I have been a member here for just over a year and I love Velocity. The staff is friendly and the gym is fantastic! If you live in the Brentwood area this is the gym for you!

Great gym to train at! The atmosphere is energetic but not overly aggressive to where you are afraid to step foot in there. I would highly recommend this place for anyone serious about training or wants to be more serious. The staff is super friendly, especially Matt the GM. Very easy to deal with

I will never ever go to another 24 hour fitness, equinox, la fitness, after going to this place. Everything here is designed for the Track Athlete, or any Athlete what so ever. My number one thing I dislike about other gyms is it is now a fashion show, people go there to be seen, not to really work out 9 times out of 10. However here there is none of that. Its all business. Since javelin, pole vaulting, and triple jump are my disciplines, and speed power events the staff was knowledgable to cater to this matter. I compare this place to a sweat house, you come here to get work done. I compare regular gyms to the beach you go there to be seen. After my training session me being exausted was an understatement. The number one thing I like is there is kind of a cohesion that is not other gyms between athletes of all different trades which I like very much. Its a bit of a drive from long beach but I will never go another regular gym after coming here.

Holly is the best PT in LA hands down. Been with a bunch and will never go to anyone else

This place is awesome. Very unique fitness space all with a track inside! They have amazing classes mornings and evenings. Only 5 – 8 people per class. Almost like a personal training session. Their personal trainers are the best. I’ve been to equinox and it doesn’t compare to the training you get here. Plus there is convenient free valet parking in the back!

The place went from a great place to train to firing most management and trainers. I stopped going. They want to be the next equinox and not the next athlete training center. If your looking so a drilled down version of equinox for 300/​mo you found the right place. How could you move into a place that only holds a 40 foot track? This is inane.

Chris and his team of incredible trainers make Velocity the best gym in LA. The gym is extremely clean, offers many different options for a workout, and is not overcrowded like many others. I actually look forward to going to workout (crazy right?!) This gym is truly for anyone, and the entire staff here will make you feel at home. As long as I’m living in LA, this location will definitely be my place to workout.

We got a groupon here to get started and check the facilities out and fell in love. Everyday they have a Core Fit class going from 7−8pm and it will kick your butt. The trainers are amazing and very friendly. Gym is not crowded at all and has plenty of space to get things done. We love working out here and can already see changes in our bodies. Definitely recommend this place!

Parking in the back of the building, bring your ticket and get a stamp for two free hours.
The trainers are awesome and you will get a good workout in. Take a class with one of their trainers, use the indoor track. I love how they have Gatorade for you.
Take a towel to borrow, but don’t forget to return it. I also love how they let you use a locked cubby. They have keys in them already so you don’t have to bring your own lock!

You will never be able to go to another gym. Seriously. If you are looking to train for your sport, recover from injury or just general fitness, there’s no other place to go. It accommodates everyone at every level: from Olympics to losing the baby weight.
Facilities: Free valet parking and the most amazing and useful staff. I mean, I forgot my shoes one day and they looked for a replacement. For everything you need, Chris and Nicole will be there for you always. Towel service excellent. Great showers w/​nice conditioner and body lotions. Hair dryer and flat iron. Backlit mirror with magnification.
Gym: You will never have to wait for equipment. This gym is small and never gets too crowded. It has tons of fun equipment for athletes: sliding boards, boxing, track, hurdles, etc… You will see the same people everyday. Mostly athletes.
Adult Fit Training Program:
This is my favorite part of Velocity. This is a GOOD full body workout. You put in what you need to get out. There are athletes that do it and there are normal people trying to get in shape. You will be covered in sweat by half of the warm up. It changes everyday so if you are a regular, you will get all you fitness needs by just doing this one hour. The first day will be traumatizing but if you stick to it, it will get easier and you will see results immediately, plus you’ll make friends.
M-​T at 7pm is with Corey. My roommate no longer asks me «are you going to the gym?», she asks «you’re going to see Corey?». I love this trainer. He is a soccer player and incredible athlete. I am recovering from a roller derby knee injury and Corey has done 10 times more for my knee than any physical therapy. I can’t recommend him enough.
Saturday at 9am is with Howard. I did not sweat at all during his one hour but the next day I was sore everywhere. He is the best combination with Corey. Intense strength training. Not a ton of cardio. He’ll get you super toned if you attend regularly.
Around the gym you will meet Dean! I had a session with Dean where he showed me how to stretch for my injury. I was sweating and in incredible pain. This is not the stretch you are used to but I felt more mobile and much more flexible since I started following his stretches. Everyone who you’ll meet at velocity has something new to show you. They are very well trained athletes and will take care of you.
You’ll also meet Dave Waters. PRO MMA Fighter. His class is very intense and I have yet to take it since I’m in recovery but I can’t wait to dive into this. This man is ripped. He loves to talk fitness. First day I met him, he asked me for my email and next morning I had a full meal plan to follow. He also sends me link of his exercises and routines just because!
…and finally this brings me to Chris. Nothing in this gym will be the same without this kid. He is the manager and he is ALWAYS there. If you’re by yourself, he’ll come and do a little workout with you. If you’re traveling, he’ll get you passes to the area you are going to. He makes Velocity have that home-​like atmosphere.

Since Velocity came to its new home, Brentwood, I have started up my independant training business there. I promise that what I say below is correct…
It has been a blessing to be around such a wide network of fitness professionals. Lately, the sense of community that I feel at Velocity has become even stronger.
Velocity doesn’t intentionally provide me with the best support… It naturally cultivates it!
Where is the truth in fitness? It is festering all around Velocity like pieces of a riddle that have been displaced. As I practice silence and peace in my personal physical practice, I hone the pieces of this luminous riddle and they seem to always fall in place. I’d be able to find it even with the lights off and no one around…
A very centering gym, indeed
Go get em’!

Update: I started training with Chuck DeBus — legendary track coach and Owner/​CEO of Velocity about 6 months ago, and I have to say my performance improved tremendously. If you want to learn how to run faster and more efficiently, you should definitely train with Chuck. His rates are high, but it’s worth the investment if you are serious about running. The best thing about training with Chuck is that he knows how to keep his athletes healthy — I have had less injuries every since he became my coach.
More about the gym:
Facilities: The equipment is top notch, the treadmills are super high-​end Woodways — they are kinder on the joints than the generic crap you find at the other comparable facilities. I love the GHD machines, too. Not many gyms has those outside of Crossfit. The locker rooms are quite posh. I am a member of Burke Williams Spa and I have to say that Velocity has nicer locker rooms.
The crowd: Tons of athletes training hard — good energy all around. I never see anyone slacking and hogging equipment. This is not a gym for poseurs — everyone is here to work out. From time to time, we get to see some elite athletes training here, and it’s always inspiring. It might be an intimidating gym if you are seriously out of shape and trying to lose weight, but everyone here is so nice and supportive, and the trainers are very experienced, so there is nothing to worry about.
Classes: Definitely performance and fitness oriented. You join Velocity to get in shape, baby. If you are looking for some girly place that offers stripperobics, go waste your money at Crunch.
