This place is miraculous! From the moment I walked in I felt welcomed. Kyle (owner) was there to great me with a smile. He walked me through the gym and filled me in on classes, busy times, taught me how to work the music and the equipment. I could see others working out and they all seemed happy and like they were getting a great workout. The equipment was plentiful and had everything I was looking for!
During COVID I have been even more impressed. They created a video on how to proceed with all the regulations and how we could stay safe while still getting a good workout. They put so much

I've been working with Kyle for almost a year now and can honestly say I would not have imagined sticking with personal training sessions for so long. I am so grateful for the motivation, inspiration, and confidence Kyle has instilled in me to accomplish my fitness goals. He acknowledges your successes and turns your "failures" into learning opportunities and personal growth. He stays true to his motto and his passion for what he does translates into the productive sessions he has with his clients. Thanks Kyle for everything you do! 10/10 would highly recommend!

Different Breed is the perfect gym for anyone looking for a functional space to workout in. In addition to crossfit-like classes Kyle offers a separate room for those looking to workout solo. Kyles programming is much better than that of a typical CrossFit gym, and he takes everyone's levels into consideration. I spent most of my time in the open gym section and the equipment is all maintained very well and the gym is super clean. Two bathrooms and two showers also!

I've been coming to Different Breed for the past 3 months or so and doing private training sessions twice a week with Kyle, the owner. It's been great!
The gym itself is really nice. It's surprisingly large, and split into a Crossfit room in the back and an open gym area in the front. It has locker rooms, each with a shower, and private bathrooms. The open gym area has every type of free-weight you can imagine, sleds, lifting platforms, benches, and a rack. The back room has a huge rack system and a number of rowers waiting to humble you. There's some dedicated parking behind

So been working out here for about 2 months now and I have to say all the reviews are right :) Solid environment, great people and even the bathrooms are amazing! The owner is super cool and he really invested in top of the line equipment. The lifting platforms are great and its nice how everything is separated into two rooms - one for Crossfit/Classes workouts and the other for Open Gym (which is where I am all the time). The environment is super and chill and friendly. You never feel the pressure of "having to be a competitor" or "you gotta be more serious." I've

This is probably the best gym I have ever worked out in. It has everything you need to accomplish your goals (platforms, pull up bars, huge space). It also has a great owner and strength coach. Kyle is the man and can tailor workouts to all levels of fitness. Serious athletes and beginners alike should definitely check this place out.

This is the best gym I have been able to find in Los Angeles simply put. After searching for years for one that fit my needs in both having an open gym as well as classes that are geared towards my personal fitness, I have finally found my home at DB. Kyle is one of the best in the business and is extremely knowledgable and passionate about what he does. He spends time to make sure each person that walks in the door is training in a way that brings out the best in their own unique body type. I would highly suggest this gym to anyone!

LOVE this gym and NAME because it TOTALLY is a different kind of work-out, space, sweat, instructors and results! Kinda say it like this- instead of going to a huge gym (LA Fitness) where there is soo many people, equipment and you get lost... This one is fit to make you feel that it's ALL about YOU! Kyle (so cute too) but just all around expert in his field and knows what he is doing. I have no clue on CrossFit but wanted to change my routine up and DEF changed my life! Going to recommend for my 11yr old son to come in and try a work-out as well as he was asking me why I'm so happy

I've been doing CrossFit off and on for 10 years now and this is the best gym by far. Kyle is a great coach and has good programming for all levels of fitness. The equipment here is top notch from Rogue. There is plenty of space and room to workout safely. They offer open gym all day. The locker room and bathrooms are nice and clean. If you want to get fit and be apart of a cool community? This is the gym for you!!!
