This gym is perfect for anyone who wants to work out without the intimidation or “gym culture” you find at big commercial gyms. I love that I can come in, get my workout done, and leave—no crowds, no waiting for equipment, and no worrying about people filming or streaming their workouts. The space is clean, open, and well maintained. The staff is friendly, and the trainers do an excellent job helping you reach your goals. They also keep members accountable for putting weights away, which makes a huge difference. Only positive, friendly vibes here.

This is a great gym for serious lifter.

Best gym ALL TIME! don’t need wait for equipment, clean and equipment is pretty good. That s what I want!

If you are serious about strength training, 99 Barbell Fitness is easily one of the best gyms in the San Gabriel Valley for both powerlifting and Olympic lifting. The setup is exactly what lifters need with quality equipment, calibrated plates, squat racks, platforms, and plenty of specialty bars. What makes this place stand out is the space. There is no issue with being crowded or waiting too long for racks. You can train comfortably and stay focused. The atmosphere is welcoming but still serious, with plenty of lifters chasing real numbers. Whether you are preparing for a meet, refining your technique, or simply looking for a gym that respects heavy lifting, this is the place to be. Without a doubt one of the top choices in SGV.

Wonderful gym with a lifting focus. Multiple benches, squat racks, and elevated platforms for deadlifts. Most importantly, there are wall mirrors all over the gym for members to observe form. Additionally, there’s plenty of machines - both cable and plates. There’s also an outdoor gym in a converted garage with kettle bells, benches, machines and the like. But just be warned, that mosquitoes are there too. Overall, excellent small gym that never gets too crowded, and where everyone seems to know each other!

This is an experienced lifters dream gym. It’s well equipped with power-lifting stations (squats, bench press, and deadlift) with lots of machines. They have a lot of power-lifting-specific equipment, like competition plates in kilograms, competition bench press station, and deadlift bars vs stiff bars. The machines are mostly no-cable, direct-weight machines. You load the moving components of the machine directly with 45 lb plates - all that to say, the gym really caters towards folks with a heavy skew towards powerlifting and are already quite damn strong. The machines “adjust” by 45 lbs at a time! I would not really recommend this gym for total beginners to weight training. There are 3 main sections of the gym. The front main section, mirrors, with machines, squat + bench press racks, deadlifting stations, dumbbell rack, and a pull-up / cable machine. There’s an indoor second section in the back with more machines and no mirrors. Then, there’s another covered but open-air section of the gym that’s in an open garage, with even more bench press stations! I noticed the only 2 cardio machines they have in the whole gym are 1 treadmill and 1 stair master. So if you’re looking for rows of cardio machines, you may need to look elsewhere. However, it’s worth noting there’s an amazing running trail along the canal super close to the gym, which would be awesome for outdoor running cardio. The gym opens from 5 am to 10 pm on regular business days, providing a really generous window for working out. On the days and times I went at 9 pm to closing, the gym was almost empty. I am not sure how full it gets during popular hours. I got a week pass when I was visiting LA. I really fell in love with the gym in 3 days. No doubt I’d buy a membership in a heartbeat if I lived relatively close by.

I came to this gym as a complete newbie to structured exercise and after four months of going and working with a trainer there, I feel much more confident in myself, my body's abilities, and so much stronger!! It's been so satisfying watching myself be able to lift more and more over the weeks. Everyone I've met at the gym has been so kind and helpful, and it's clearly a community of very friendly people. The owner Julie is super responsive and very helpful with scheduling, and my trainer Jesus was the perfect fit for what I needed! I really liked that we were able to have a very non-judgmental and lighthearted approach to learning the lifts while still being serious about getting things right. It was challenging but in a very fun way. Overall, if you're thinking about learning strength training or maybe getting into powerlifting I would highly recommend this gym! The setup is fantastic, and you could not ask for a nicer bunch of people.

A month in and I can confidently; this Gym is among the absolute best if not the best in all surrounding areas. Everything you need, and more. The true win is in the surrounding energy which is unmatched. 99% Pros and damn near less than 1% cons. Exceptional in every way

This is my first “small box” gym and I’m never going back to commercial gyms like golds or 24hrs. The vibe here is absolutely amazing with great art on walls and friendly people. You’ll love the gym if you love weight training, powerlifting, etc. They have everything you need when it comes to weights. Only one old treadmill which sucks but not a big deal just run outside. Most days there are < 10 people so you won’t have to wait for equipment. Overall great gym.

Really love this GYM！Recommend！ 个人觉得是洛杉矶最好的gym，私教很专业负责，环境设备很干净！推荐～
