The Strength Shoppe’s Echo Park location is a hidden gem. It’s part of a building complex called the Echo Park Village that has a variety of other small businesses & an on-site parking lot. I had the opportunity to do a training session with Denice, one of their coaches and was blown away by the effectiveness of this style of strength workout. As someone who hadn’t had any prior experience in a real gym, I really appreciated Denice’s patient approach to coaching. She had a super calming presence during the session too. Melinda, the gym’s owner is leading the way within the LA community with this pretty cutting edge high intensity training workout.

I have been a regular client at Strength Shoppe Echo Park for 2 years. I’m in my late 60’s, with bad knees and when I started, I had just had a couple of bad falls.I was pretty discouraged about being able to continue to be active without injury. With regular workouts at Strength Shoppe that were targeted to my needs, I can now trip and regain my balance without falling! I would strongly recommend Strength Shoppe.

This is the perfect way to build strength over time. I’ve been training here once a week for about 6 months and I can definitely feel myself getting stronger. The instructors do a great job at pushing you to muscle failure and tracking your progress so you can really see results. Technique is important with strength training and they will help to make sure that you’re doing the exercises correctly so you build muscle more efficiently. All in just 20-30 minutes! I highly recommend the Strength Shoppe!

Wow! Who would have thought 20-30 minutes would give me the results I wanted AND needed?!! I've worked with two of their trainers, and they were fabulous. This gym is unlike any other. For my workout, I was the only one there--that's how they do it. It makes it such a personally tailored experience. They have a secret sauce that has changed every strength-training workout since. Oh, and by the way, I'm over 65 years old, and this is the best shape I've in been in, well, let's say, decades. Don't hesitate, go!!! (you can find this review in Yelp, as well)

I LOVED my time at the Strength Shoppe (and since I've moved out of state, I can only hope I find another place of similar quality). I was brand new to strength training when I started my workouts here, and had a lot of questions about whether it was right for me. Melinda totally put me at ease with both her knowledge and her very caring, personalized attention to my body's specific needs - I could immediately sense that I was in good hands, and that this was a very different experience from most workouts. After Melinda set up a plan for me, I worked with Andi who was awesome... fun and inspiring, and always attuned to what I needed, when adjustments were necessary. Our bodies have different needs at different times, and having the personalized guidance from experts who you trust is so important. It was hard to believe that just a once-a-week workout could make such a difference... but I very quickly noticed I was stronger (could lift water jugs without straining), my body was leaner, and I had more energy. This is an amazing, effective, and fun workout, and perfect for the busy person who wants to make the most of your time AND prioritize your self care. Highly recommended!
