Fitness and Exercise Locations in Los Angeles

Normally vacations are the perfect time to sit back and relax – but if you feel yourself wanting to get in a nice little sweat session during your trip, you couldn’t find yourself in a better city. Los Angeles is known for beautiful weather, and let’s be honest, people. It’s the city of stars! If you are wanting to get a celebrity-grade workout in to help burn off the elaborate dinners you are having on your trip there are plenty of great fitness studios in L.A.

Training Mate Los Angeles

Lindsay one of our Glitterati Tours of Los Angeles team members, personal favorite places to get in a good sweat is Training Mate. Training Mate LA is a studio fitness gym that specializes in H.I.I.T (high intensity interval training). If you are unsure what that is – think of a boot camp – but fun! Training Mate is perfect for all levels of fitness as the trainers can help you modify any of the exercises in the class to the level that fits you most! Don’t worry about an intense coach yelling in your face – all the trainers are Australian (get it, Training “Mate”?) and couldn’t be more friendly and encouraging. After the class you will have burned up to 1000 calories (mostly from laughing). Worried or nervous? Don’t be! Training Mate’s environment is all inclusive. If you don’t believe us you can see what it’s like from watching Khloe Kardashian’s “Revenge Body.” Luke Milton, owner and head trainer, is one of the featured trainers on the show. The best part of this studio is the first class is free – you can save your money for that decadent dinner you’ve been planning. Looking and feeling like a celebrity is “easy peasy lemon squeezey” at Training Mate. Don’t forget to bring your sunnies (sun-glasses) because after this workout your future in L.A. is going to be looking bright!

High intensity training not your thing? Not a problem, L.A. has fitness options for everyone. Other great gyms with discounted first classes are:

• Orange Theory Fitness – first class free
• Modo Yoga – first class free
• Wunderbar Pilates – $10 first class
• Pure Barre – first class free

Hiking in Runyon Canyon

You can’t forget the simple things. L.A. has great hiking trails as well. Hidden in the hills right off of Hollywood boulevard is Runyon Canyon, a local favorite where you may spot a celebrity or two! Also nearby in Studio City is Fryman Canyon. Beautiful views tucked right inside of L.A.!
