I am a 52-year-old postmenopausal woman. I lost 19.4 pounds and 27 inches in the 2015 Obsidian Challenge. Combining three sessions a week and carefully following the provided nutrition guidelines the pounds and inches steadily came off. It was thrilling! Knowledgeable and encouraging instructors lead classes on a new low impact head to toe workout each week.
There was no boredom in the warm-up, balance moves, core work, cardio sprints on the slide board or compound movements with weights. Variety is the spice of life and you get a generous portion each session and a great sweat! I could literally feel myself becoming more lean and strong from week to week even though I would often step on the carpet to do an optional move utilizing good form.

I LOVED my experience with obsidian fitness! Sara was the most positive, encouraging, fun trainer and she kicked...my... butt!! Every session was different and tailored to my level and my personal goals. I was never bored and actually looked forward to working out...and that's saying a lot. Thank you so much Sara for making me stronger. ♥️ -Devany

I have been a member at Obisidian for about 8 years. I honestly cannot imagine my life without it. Lacey, the owner & creator of Obsidian, has created and continues to create outstanding workouts, as well as a wonderful environment to workout in. The workouts are designed to push you, even though you can modify any move at anytime. However, in pushing yourself during these workouts, you find that you get stronger and stronger. It's exciting and motivating to feel your body get fit. The workouts are also fun and change weekly so you never tire of them. I also love the environment at Obsidian. The

I have been a client of Obsidian Fitness for awhile & I already knew I loved their program. But their response to the COVID-19 outbreak now has me a client for life! The staff at Obsidian Fitness has been doing everything in their power to keep their clients healthy & active. They could have easily shut their doors, put a sign up that said they were closed & waited it out. But that's not what Obsidian Fitness is about! They set up LIVE workouts where you can interact with the instructor so it's just like you're there & offer a recording if you can't make the live time. The workouts have options

I love the Obsidian program. I have exercised all my life, but Obsidian works my core better than any program I have tried. I also like the lateral work in Obsidian. Other programs work your body on the forward and backward plane, but Obsidian provides a workout on the lateral plain and keeps my legs and knees strong. I will be 72 this year and plan to workout at Obsidian as long as I am able.

Once you walk in the door, you know you're with professionals who are competent, fun and caring. AND they know how to give you the workout of your life! I challenge anyone to find a more total body workout than Obsidian-and it's different every class. Now available online with live video streaming classes for those days when 6AM is just too early. . .

Strange way to start a review:
I have Hashimoto's, PCOS, Sleep Apnea, & a heart condition. All of these things mess with my hormones &, amongst other symptoms, make it incredibly easy to gain weight & really difficult to lose weight. I've tried everything. Many different styles of working out, visited nutritionists, have eaten Keto, vegan, GF, DF, all sorts of elimination diets.
Nothing has really worked with weight loss. I don't mind being plus size, but having extra weight is a health risk & impacts my fertility. These are my main concerns with wanting to be a healthy weight.

Obsidian fitness is a fun, low-impact alternative to your regular gym routine. It's a fun way to mix it up with a solid combination of cardio and strength-based training.
The board takes some getting used to but it really engages your core and left my abs (and legs) feeling worked the day after! The studio offers a few varieties of classes with a spectrum of foci from more weights to more cardio. The Obsidian Strong Class was my favorite. It used a combination of barbell weights and the board to test your balance and fatigue your muscles. Great challenge.
Not to mention, the staff at Obsidian

DASH is a really, really great fitness studio. I started working out here about 4 years ago. I was nervous about being extremely overweight and feeling intimidated or that I didn't belong. The instructors and staff were the opposite of what I expected at a small gym. They were welcoming and supportive, and it felt like they were working with me to achieve my fitness goals. I started with modified Obsidian class workouts and ended up losing over 100 pounds after a year. The Obsidian workout is honestly the most effective workout I've ever done. I would recommend it to anybody (any age, any weight

Dash is unlike any other gym. While my booty hates dragging itself here every week, I desperately yearn for it when I go back to living in LA. There is no workout that I trust more than the ones provided at Dash. Dash provides workouts that are so dynamic, yet sensitive to each client's needs and restrictions. The trainers are SO amazing and supportive, I find myself debating whether or not to post each of them as my "woman crush wednesday" on instagram! Honestly, the classes are challenging (ESPECIALLY obsidian), but always do-able. The hardest part about getting fit with Dash is

Dash Fitness has the greatest instructors and the most fabulous members! The facility is clean and very modern, making the classes very enjoyable. The atmosphere of Dash is extremely inviting while the members and instructors help push and motivate eachother to reach their fitness goals. Their Obsidian class has totally challenged and changed my body in the best way possible. I've never done a workout like Obsidian before, but the best part of it is that I can actually see and feel the results. All of the classes they offer are great and provide incredible workouts. BodyCombat, BodyPump, Zumba

Dash is aMaZiNg!!! I hate working out and dash makes me excited to work out. I have a membership at golds that i haven't used in over a year. I go to dash almost everyday and love it. You go in and its like a family everyone knows your name and wants to help in anyway they can. Obsidian is what they are known for. Its a whole body workout that definitely leaves you sore the next day. The results you get are unreal. So try it out, you won't be disappointed!

So this place seems to be very popular with women which at first made me feel a little weird showing up as a guy. However, I have to say that their exclusive Obsidian workout they offer is tougher than ANY workout I did playing high school soccer or football. Everyone was very professional and nice. Highly recommended to anyone who wants a tough workout without the intimidation factor you feel in most gyms.

I have been going to Dash for 2 years now. It's the only gym I have been to that I truly love and look forward to working out. I never thought I would feel like I fit in at a gym but the instructors and members are great. The instructors are really knowledgeable and help me to have correct form, work through injuries and offer nutritional advice. They even have weight loss challenges that are fun and they work! I love the classes from Combat to Pump to Obsidian to the Combo classes and their personal training. They don't have the amenities of a large gym but I love the individual attention

I'm kind of gym rat, and regularly take aerobics, kickboxing, and yoga classes, both at my university and in several gyms around the valley. I bought the Groupon to DASH and did 4 Body Combat classes to start off. Loved them. Great workout, really fun, and good instructors. Also liked the one experience I had with Body Vive.
I tried one Obsidian II class and didn't love it. That was the only time I felt out of place, like I'd wandered into a class full of Lululemon dolls. I didn't get a lot of direction or friendly advice since I was obviously new to it. I never really felt

LOVE THIS GYM! While they don't have your standard workout equipment (treadmills, etc), what they lack in that area they more than make up for in bust your butt Les Mills classes, among others! If you go to their website and enter your email for more info they'll send you a free class pass. The owner, Lacey is uber nice and when you walk into a class there isn't some icy chill in the room of "holier- than-thou" exercise-aholics, everyone is there to get their SWEAT ON and have a good time doing it!
