This is hands down the best gym in LA. Sophia and Jyima are the most knowledgeable trainers that I’ve ever worked with. Their workouts are extremely effective and you get results. The community is kind, welcoming, and supportive. I’m a proud member <3

I've been LOVING my unlimited membership at The Jyim!! After my apartment gym closed, I tried working out from home with videos/apps but it wasn't until I signed up for The Jyim that I could truly challenge myself while working out.

For almost two months I've been doing the 6am Zoom Core & Cardio class with Sophia and the 9am Booty Build with Jyima. When I want to add more workouts, I use the recorded videos on Instagram. Highly recommend if you're needing a challenge and don't want to buy a full home gym during the pandemic!!

Everyone is very friendly and welcoming

I wanted to leave an excellent review without anyone from here asking me or anything, due to the fact that Jyima and other staff are so kind and awesome. Great classes and amazing energy. Support small businesses with passionate owners! Really great pricing and easy parking too. Thanks for the great space to look forward to!

The good news about this place is that it has a parking lot in the Arts District. The bad news about this place is that it has a parking lot in the Arts District with a brewery and it's pretty pricey to park there, and you might want to reward yourself with a beer after your workout :P

Parking aside, this place is amazing!! I first met Jyim when he first opened this place up - it was super tiny, and I'm so happy he's expanded! There's 2 main rooms where classes take place. One is mainly focused lifting and the other dedicated towards HIIT and boxing. I love this place because

I visited this gym via ClassPass for their Cardio + Core class. The gym itself was what I expected for a neighborhood gym in the Arts District. Nothing fancy, but it was clean and seemed to have all the equipment needed to get in a good workout.

The class instructor (wish I could remember her name) had good energy and was friendly. She led a small-group HIIT style workout to hip-hop beats alternating between cardio and core with short breaks. It definitely got my heart rate up, but I didn't feel as though it was particularly challenging. Also, there wasn't much emphasis on or corrections

Wow, what can I say! This gym is the total gem of DTLA. Took a few boxing classes here and the instructors really kick your butt, and I've been training avidly for more thann 2 years. They're extremely knowledgeable and friendly, and really make you feel like you're a part of their family.

It's great for all levels of fitness, so don't be afraid if you're just starting out! Plus, the facilities are SPOTLESS and clean. I would give more stars if I could!

As someone who hated to work out, the Jyim has been amazing at getting me (and my friends) motivated. I've been coming for classes and personal training with Sophia since October. I suggest Iron Pump or Boxing for classes at first, they're super easy to follow and the instructors will help you out so you don't get lost!

Training with Sophia has been actually so much fun-- she's helped me guide a healthier way to eat my food, which is so great for someone like me who didn't even know how to eat healthy at all! We've been training 2x a week for a while now, and she

The Jyim has not only the perfect location right in the LA Arts District but also the greatest team led by the best owner/trainer, Jyima! The Jyim is truly a place for anyone at any level of fitness. It's a small close knit gym where you'll get the attention you need even in the group classes. I would give this place more than 5 stars if I could!

I started coming here via discovering in class pass since end of 2018 and going more often 2019! I have to say the attention to personalized detail within classes and personal training has been great! I highly recommend Sophia Pascual as I discovered her when taking classes through classpass and really liked how she paid attention to form and doing it the right way regardless of the class size. Her energy made the hour to by so fast and felt like I got a good workout in each time! Fast forward I now so personal training and like how much she challenges, pushes and encourages me every time! Definitely

Where do I even start?!?!?! This place has changed my life in so many aspects. Jyima just makes you feel comfortable right when you walk into his Playground. All classes and trainers are amazing but one trainer other than Jyima at this wonderful establishment makes working out feel like a breeze; her name is Sophia. Don't get me wrong the workouts are intense but you leave wanting more. I've been training here for almost a year. And I honestly have no negative remarks about this establishment. Check out my before and after and maybe this might just motivate you.

The Jyim should really be called The GEM because that's what this place really is. Jyima, the owner, is by far the best coach I've ever trained with. I use the word coach because Jyima is more than a personal/physical trainer. He is a life coach, who is dedicated to the self-care and self-love of all his memebers.

The best part of The Jyim is that Jyima is not the only gem to be found. The entire team: Angie, Sophia, Emily, Lee, and Erica, are AMAZING! They are dedicated to my goals and they hold me accountable while providing tips and tools to help me reach my goal. Their attention

Jyima is awesome and this is by far my favorite gym! Everyone is friendly and welcoming and the classes are all different. I love the kettlebell and core/cardio classes and the environment is never intimidating. You can tell every trainer loves what they do and it shows in their instruction. Even the boxing classes are great for beginners.

Not sure how this place doesn't have more reviews?!! I came here all summer to take boxing classes with Jyima and Lee as well as other classes with Angela & the classes were great. I was able to get into a workout rhythm after 3 years. Only thing that sucks is parking but if you're patient, you'll find some. I would totally recommend this gym to anyone looking for something fun and intense at the same time!

Love the Jyim! I have taken Jyima and Angela's classes for the past few months. They're both great instructors and have a friendly staff, and frequent regulars become like your gym fam :)

Jyima, the owner is passionate about what he does and commits his time to training others. He is flexible with no pressure, and will help you achieve your goals as long as you are willing to put in the work. Also very kind and hospitable!

Great boxing and strength training classes located above the Arts District Brewery!

This place is awesome! (This place is above Arts District Brewery - take the stairs outside the building.)

This place is pricer than your big corporate gym like 24 Hour Fitness, but the classes are worth it and you can see results pretty quick. You can see change with people who have been going here for several weeks and the regulars look totally different from when they started.

The only kind of bad things are:
1) Kind of hard to find - (look for Arts District Brewery not Angel City!)
2) Music is limited to hip-hop/rap
3) Couple of key points are missing from boxing classes (I worry about

LA has so many boxing gyms/trainers but none of them really fit what I was looking for... until I met Jyima! The vast majority of gyms try to cram 20-30 people into each class or are too serious/intimidating for a newbie like me. Training with Jyima has been a totally different experience.

Earlier this year, I had a mediocre experience a boxing gym in town (lack of personal attention, dgaf attitude about form) and I left with LESS boxing knowledge after class. Training with Jyima couldn't be more of the opposite and it's been a blast. My sessions here have exceeded all of my expectations
