Ganbatte Fitness

Ganbatte is a Japanese expression meaning "do your best." It's a mantra that is embodied by this welcoming and chill gym. There are multiple programming options, whether you're into general physical preparedness, strength, and/or endurance. The coaches are excellent, providing a safe environment that meets everyone where they are. The membership is friendly, the facility is spacious, and the amount of communication is just right. Take the leap!

Ganbatte is not just a gym, it's a community. JP, the owner, has created a welcoming, comfortable place to come together, workout together, get stronger together. All the coaches are friendly, knowledgable, and caring. They give important feedback and cues, and make the classes fun. The members are kind and supportive of each other. It's a place that you truly look forward to going to every day. I was a member for over three years, and only left because I moved out of state. If you are looking for an awesome place to work out and have fun, this is the place for you.

After trying out a few other types of gyms, I joined Ganbatte because I wanted to commit to getting stronger and fitter. The coaches are incredible and really excel at encouraging you to push past your limits while being equally good at giving you a heads up when you need to pull back and concentrate on your form. Their passion and knowledge about what they do allows them to provide individualized goals and guidance for everyone in their classes. As terrible as I was at everything when I started, the programming and coaching is so well designed that all I had to do was show up, listen to the coaches, and put in effort to see huge gains in both strength and endurance. A great and unexpected bonus is the awesome community atmosphere in the gym. Everyone from coaches to members is friendly and welcoming. I'd highly recommend joining Ganbatte to anyone interested in upgrading their fitness level!

My original CrossFit gym permanently closed because of the pandemic. I tried a ton of gyms throughout LA and the valley, and ultimately landed at Ganbatte. The members are unpretentious, the coaches are great, the environment is inclusive, and the gym has parking (thank goodness)! Best of all, I met my husband there! :)

Where do I even start with how unique and amazing this place is. I've been an athlete my entire life and this has been hands down my favorite place to train. And you don't have to consider yourself an athlete to train here - if you're willing to show up and do the work and learn, you're already an athlete - all are welcome. A few key things that set this gym apart: Results: Ganbatte is unique in that no matter what you're individual goals are (crossfit, endurance, weight loss, nutrition, weight lifting, breaking plateau's) they are committed and engaged in helping you get there. Ganbatte is incredibly set apart in that the owner and coach, JP, offers endurance-based programming in addition to your standard crossfit workouts, so that no matter what your goals are, you can tackle them here. Community: And speaking of results, I have never been a part of an athletic community where I've found so many friends who get so excited to see you succeed. It blows me away the number of times I've silently checked off a personal record in my head, and a friend has come over with a high 5 or hug because THEY knew I just accomplished something huge. It's such a sweet feeling and such an added bonus to an already great workout high. Facility: Pheby and JP make a concerted effort to keep this place clean and it shows. There are 2 bathrooms and a nice shower...there are even toiletries available that make it extra generous. It's a good size to accommodate all of the equipment and large classes, but not so large that the classes lose their "group effort" vibe. Hybrid Program: For an additional monthly fee, you can get sport-specific programming (5k, marathon, spartan race, even mountaineering, you name it). This includes a one-on-one goals discussion to dial everything in and daily programming which we call "extra work" to supplement your crossfit hour. If you're already a seasoned athlete its a great opportunity to step it up up and break plateaus. Or if you're just starting your crossfit journey it's setup for something manageable like a 5k. In sum, personally speaking, this is my favorite hour of the day coming here and a true blessing. I've taken advantage of the hybrid program and have seen staggering results. I have never been so ultimately challenged and pushed. And have accomplished results I thought were completely out of my wheelhouse. After only a few weeks at the gym, JP had said to me, "It's your meditation, I get it." And they do, Come on in and get your sweat on! :) :)
