Boulevard Health Club

This place sucks. The trainers are awful and the management does not know what they are doing. There are no windows in this place and it is extremely small. My clients hated it there!

This review is long overdue. I used to here a few years ago, in my opinion it’s quiet place convenient, good trainers, since it’s inside the same same building as some talent agencies, it seemed like a bunch of dirty pervaded old agents were regulars always looking for young hot girls. So it seemed to me.
Any how it was nice ace.
Thanks

I love this place. I started working out there because it was in my neighborhood — and because they have a step mill — but I’ve stayed because it’s such a cool place to work out. It does’t aspire to be anything other than what it is: an affordable neighborhood gym.
A month after I joined, I knew everyone who worked there, and they all knew me. (The people at the front desk are great, and Allison, the manager, is fantastic.) Most of the people that work out there are focused on what they’re doing; they’re friendly, but there’s not a lot of small talk.
Plenty of treadmills, recumbent bikes, ellipticals, etc., as well as the aforementioned step mill. Free weights and machines. (There’s not a huge assortment, but it’s more than adequate, and the equipment is always well maintained.) Lots of toys, like resistance bands, handles, and weighted balls. I haven’t done any sessions with the trainers but I often see them working with clients, and they a) know what they’re doing and b) are hella entertaining.
I have to move soon, and I’m going to miss BHC almost as much as I’m going to miss Beverly Grove.

If you work anywhere in the West Hollywood/​Beverly Hills area and don’t want to spend hundreds of dollars every month for a gym membership, The Boulevard Health Club is the perfect gym for you. It offers plenty of weights, resistance bands, various machines, cardio equipment, group exercise classes and clean locker rooms with showers and everything you’ll need to put yourself back together after your workout. There is no shortage of televisions that help to distract from watching the counter on the cardio equipment. It has everything I need to get in a thorough workout including terrific personal trainers to keep you on track and reach your fitness goals. Beyond that, I really like the non-​corporate environment of the gym. The management has built a very nice sense of community and I find the staff very friendly and helpful. I wouldn’t think of going anywhere else in the area. Oh, and the parking is never an issue. If you can’t find a meter, there is $ 2 parking in the building. All around a terrific neighborhood gym.

I started going to this gym because it is right next door to my office and used to offer yoga classes during the day so I’d go on my lunch break. I can’t do yoga anymore for some health reasons but I’d still go to the gym to do weights.
The main reason I stopped going here because I felt so uncomfortable every time I went. I go to the gym to clear my head, be healthy, and feel good. Every time I go to this gym I feel extremely uncomfortable. The management is very cold and there is a good bit of bullying that goes on by management and even personal trainers that train at this gym. Almost every time I have gone a small group of trainers and management will point at me and laugh. Often times I am the only person there so I know they are making fun of me. A few times they even verbally approached me and make fun of me. «Why don’t you go on YouTube and learn how to do a proper squat.» Um, you are a trainer how about you offer your services and try to earn money off my ‘improper’ squat rather than harass me. Or my personal favorite «You seem like a natural born athlete. NOT.»
I am an adult with disabilities and I do not appreciate being made fun of where I pay just as much as much as everyone else to attend the gym. I mind my own business, clean up after myself and wipe off machines. I don’t mean to sound whiny but this type of behavior is just unnecessary. Worst part is I just called to cancel my membership and they are charging me a fine. I’m going to reach out to the owners about this. I’d like to get some of my money back from past months’ membership because I get treated so poorly when I go.
If they don’t clean up how they treat their customers they will have a law suit on their hands very soon. Maybe by me, maybe by someone else.
Pros: Small, clean, towel service, shower, nice yoga teachers, nice front staff, location
Cons: Not many classes, no pool, no sauna, no steam room, mean management, mean trainers

I got a 3-​day free trial pass after coming here for a Unilocal Fit Club event, and since I’m looking for a gym to join I was more than happy to try it out! I’m not a fan of corporate chain gyms so it was nice to check out a friendly neighborhood health club where the staff smiles and is actually interested in your experience.
The first impression you get is the one that you will leave with: it’s a small space, smaller than any other gym I’ve been to. But the space is utilized well. There’s an open room with maybe 30 weight machines, an area for free-​weights with a few benches, a small hardwood-​floored «gym» where classes are held and a few heavy bags are suspended, and then there’s an area with 20 or so cardio machines (treadmills, ellipticals, bikes, step machines, etc.). I doubt the gym area would hold more than 10 people, which explains why class offerings are sparse and during inconvenient hours. I never had to wait for the machine of my choice due to the gym never being busy, even during peak hours (after work on weekdays, weekend mornings). Televisions abound to distract you while you’re working up a sweat. There’s no pool, unlike other health clubs with similar membership costs.
The locker rooms are very clean and well-​attended, and the showers and vanity areas have everything you need to spruce up (shampoo/​conditioner, razors, combs, blow-​dryers, etc.) after a workout. Parking is valet ($ 2 for 2 hours validated) or metered. The gym-​goers all seemed pleasant and not overly obsessed with showing off their muscles.
Overall, it’s a very pleasant health club but I need a place with more options for classes. For those that just need a place to get on the treadmill or lift some weights, though, I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend it!

The first gym I joined when I was 16 was the gym I was still going to 15 years later, but when it went out of business I was at a loss for what to do. I checked out a few of the bigger gyms around the area, which offer pretty good deals, but I hated the McDonalds feeling of the big chains. There were too many people there and I felt very self-​conscious.
When I finally found Boulevard Health Club I knew I was home. Is it possible that this place is even better than the gym I left behind? Yes! It has the same small size, staff who know your name and always say hi, low-​key clientele who are not into the meat-​market thing. But, its newer, cleaner, and more up-​to-​date! I love this place!
They have all the equipment the average gym-​goer needs, and clean locker rooms with plenty of showers.
They don’t offer that many classes, but they are all good classes with capable instructors and they are offered at optimal times of day.
The rates are reasonable and they were willing to work with me to create a package I liked.
I definitely recommend this place highly!

Best Gym !!! 100% clean!

Only 4 reviews (at the time of my writing this)?!? Wow I feel like I should help keep this place on the DL… It is NEVER busy, even at 5:30 pm on a weekday when everyone’s getting out of work. Front desk guys are nice and friendly. Clientele is there to work out (limited socializing) but not restricted to beefcakes.
An assortment of cardio machines (ellipticals, bikes, treadmills) and magazines to read while you pedal along, free weights, machine weights, medicine balls, etc etc Basically everything you need to tone/​bulk/​sweat every muscle group. There are TVs all over the place (typically tuned to Sports and the News) and they pipe music at varying volumes in case you forget your ipod.
Locker room is clean, also never over-​occupied. Showers come with the basics, and when youre fixing yourself up for whatever’s next they have hair dryers, hairspray, Qtips, etc. Really nice conveniences.
They offer monthly and multi-​monthly memberships, free classes (tho the choices are rather limited), and discounts for Cedars-​Sinai employees. Score! I walk over from the office so I dont know what the parking situation is. I think it’s underground and validated.

I love this place! I joined a few months back and barely went as I was spinning my wheels at a bunch of other spots around town. Not only is this space very affordable, it is clean and everyone is incredibly nice. No, really they are! Being born and raised here I yearn for small community type spots — this is IT. I am so glad I came back and decided to give Blvd another shot. Great place and AWESOME instructor for Mon, Wed, Fri am Body Sculpting class! This spot is my little secret, and now it’s yours :)

My co-​worker and I just started going here, it’s a cute little boutique gym tucked away just off Robertson Blvd. The gym offers everything a larger gym offers in the way of equipment, but lacks the crowd. They may not have rows of treadmills and ellipticals, but they don’t really need to. It’s definetly no meat market, and the staff is very friendly and helpful. It’s how you would expect a neighborhood gym to be, and I feel that being smaller allows them to give more personal customer service and care.

Best Booty Blasting Class!
I love it! I recommend the classes Tuesday and Thursday. It is a cardio step, lunge, and squat madness… ouch! The instructor is so talented. My fitness inspiration Cherry turned my on to this spot!
Come out for the 5:30 class, the first pass is free and then only $ 10 a class.

Am still super happy with the gym and have lost 30 pds! It’s such a great supportive place and since getting in better shape have started to take the step class. phew is it hard! It’s a mix of step, weight training, stretching, yoga and lots of work! I feel like I’ve lost 2 pds on every class I take and the trainer is AWESOME! She makes sure everyone is able to do the moves and will come over and show you how to do them or an alternative!
I’m so happy with my gym ALSO you can park on the street but be prepared to walk!
Say hi if you join!
