Awesome gym, nearing my 50th class soon. I'm not a class person by any means but I love the community and trainers here (shoutout Coach Olive and Kai). You learn a lot and you leave feeling accomplished. I used to do the usual basic lifts (squats, deadlifts, bench, etc) but I've learned so many different exercises that have rounded my fitness out in a way I've never felt before. The gym is very clean and it's easy to get to and find parking (neighborhood usually has spots available).

FAQ

Straight answers.

Where is The Phoenix Effect?

We are located in Hollywood at 7264 Melrose Avenue, just a few blocks west of La Brea and minutes from West Hollywood, Fairfax and Mid-City.

Is there parking?

Parking is a breeze near our studio. There's plenty of neighborhood parking less than a block away or meters. We recommend parking on Alta Vista or Clinton St. Always check signs before parking.

How much does it cost?

We have group class memberships that start at less than $7 a day. We also have higher tier solutions with more 1:1 support like nutrition coaching and personal training. To find out which program would best fit your needs you can take our 60-second quiz. Every new athlete gets a 1:1 Success Session with a certified coach and a free class. We'll build you a plan that fits your goals and your budget.

Do you offer drop-ins or day passes?

Our single class rate is $39.99 for drop-ins for strength classes or $49.99 for Muay Thai. We also have class packages that never expire. These are great options if you are visiting from out of town. Obviously memberships are a much better deal, as we are giving discounts for those who are committed to showing up, and who live in Los Angeles.

Do you take ClassPass?

Yes. We welcome our friends from ClassPass in our strength classes. Our Muay Thai program is not open to ClassPass or other third-party providers. Please note that class time options are reduced for non-members and many community events are for members only. Our membership options are generally less costly per class than ClassPass as well.

Do I need to be in shape to start?

Absolutely not! That's the reason WHY you'd come to the gym in the first place. We have beginners to seasoned lifters. Our coaches are experienced and certified and are able to provide any modifications to make the workout right for you.

I'm over 40. Is this right for me?

Yes. Strength training is for all ages and is especially beneficial for those over 40.

What should I wear and bring to my first class?

We have a water bottle filler and towels. Just wear comfortable workout clothes and shoes and you're all set!

How does the free class work?

You'll meet with an experienced coach to create a Success Plan before your first class. This will give you the clarity you need to be successful and a simple roadmap to follow as you begin. After that you'll get to try out a class to see if it's a good fit. There is never any obligation to buy if you do not feel this is right for you. We want everyone in our space to want to be there and to have the information and tools necessary to be successful.

Can I bring a friend?

We love friends! If you'd like to bring a friend to class please fill out our referral form.

Do you have martial arts classes in Los Angeles?

Yes! We teach Muay Thai, aka Thai kickboxing, in a small group setting. Classes never have more than 10 people to ensure you get plenty of 1:1 attention and form correction.

Can I hire a personal trainer?

Yes! You can do personal training by itself or combine it with our group training programs. We offer IRL and remote personal training. All personal training includes nutrition coaching + progress tracking app.

Do you offer nutrition coaching?

Yes! We have holistic nutrition coaching as part of our Achieve 1:1 coaching program (classes + 1:1 accountability) or included with our personal training packages. You'll get a dedicated coach who will check in with you and keep you on track during your entire journey. We focus on building healthy habits that stick long after coaching is over so your investment will keep paying off.

Is there a community outside of class?

Yes. A big one. Nearly every week there is a new event or club you can take part in from happy hours/networking to pickleball, there's something for everyone! Check out our community page to learn more.

Is The Phoenix Effect LGBTQ+ friendly?

Yes! TPE is queer and women-owned, and our community reflects that. We host Sapphletic Club, our free monthly strength training club for queer women and nonbinary folks, and every body is welcome in every class.

Is this a bro gym?

Absolutely not! We pride ourselves on our friendly and supportive atmosphere for all ages, genders, and sexual orientation.

Can I pause or freeze my membership?

Yes! You may freeze your membership for $25. Freezes are for periods of 2 weeks or more. If you have a medical concern, we waive the fee with a doctor's note.

What if it's not for me?

We don't want to trap anyone in a contract they won't use. That's why we are upfront about pricing and terms. We have a 14 day love it or leave it guarantee when you first sign up. If you do not feel this is the right fit, you do not have to continue.
