I've gone to a lot of gyms throughout the US and this is as good as it gets. The classes are well-organized and taught to a very high standard. JJ, the owner, is a solid guy and an amazing athlete. Highly recommend to any UCLA students or young professionals in the area. Or really anyone looking to get into shape or progress in mixed martial arts.

Awesome academy! The staff is highly trained and very friendly. They are very welcoming and will take time to help you, especially if you are new. Very professional and unlike other gyms, they really know what they are doing.

My SO and I came in here totally green to working out. These trainers were excellent teachers in showing form, designing a workout regiment, and giving motivation. I left my first class feeling satisfied and complete. The Sparta Academy LA deserves my highest recommendation.

Greatest gym ever. Personal training-quality instruction at an affordable price. Second-to-none staff.

I've been working out with Evan with the goal of improving my overall strength. The results have been fantastic. Overall I'm stronger - especially in core strength. His method of interval training helps loose weight and gain muscle. I would definitely recommend Evan (and his whole team) as a worthy personal investment.

This gym is amazing. Never too crowded, exceptional service, good equipment and fun classes. Plus if you get too pasty a tanning booth! Also they make great shakes and good people. What more do you need?

Been a Sparta Academy member for 4 years now and I've been checking out all the gold's facilities and so far compare to downtown facility this one is the nicest gym. A lot of equipment to help you achieve the fitness goal. The staff is really nice and helpful especially when I misplace my gym bag. Regardless of what people think of this gym, I still recommend this gym. Also a lot of hot and muscular guys to see and get inspire to take your fitness tio the next level.

I used to work here as a cycling instructor and recently returned as a guest of a former fellow instructor and trainer. I was amazed at the completed renovations with the great layout, latest equipment, cleanliness and spacious new locker rooms. I have been a part of this facility for over 25 years and am impressed at the level to which it's risen! Kudos, Angel, Willie, Steve, Rich and The Whole Team!!! Bobby

I was introduced to JJ through my fiance, who has achieved good fitness and weight loss in only a short period of time. I went to JJ to improve core strength for running. Having never really lifted a day in my life, I'm lifting more than I thought was possible, notably in only a couple of month's time. It's also a lot of fun! JJ is a great instructor who has a knack for sizing up what you are capable of and how far he can reasonably push you. It helps that he is nice, fun to hang out with, and encouraging. He is clearly an expert in the space.

Additionally, everyone at the gym is very nice and willing to help. They've worked collaboratively to help watch our son at the gym when we haven't had a sitter. I'm struck by how they are all genuinely committed to your well being and progress.

What an amazing gym! They have everything, personal training, self defense sessions and even weightlifting. I was so impressed with the facility and All the crazy cool equipment. I enjoyed working out, even tho I wouldn't admit it to my trainer. He pushed me beyond what I thought I could do but I saw results and I think it's worth every penny! If your looking for a new kind of gym this is it.

Great staff and facilities.

Can't say enough good things about this place and the owner JJ. After years of not working out he's helped me and my husband go from being couch potatoes to being able to lift weights and sprint! Not only am I more tone but I have a ton more energy. If you are like me you are probably intimidated by fit people and the gym. The people here are incredibly welcoming regardless of your fitness level.

Great fitness classes with focus on strength, flexibility and weight loss. Martial Arts classes are varied and include Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, Krav Maga and Kickboxing. Tons of fun and great workout facility/equipment. Would highly recommend!

I've only been training at Sparta a few weeks but already I feel stronger and more confident. I cross train, kickbox and practice Krav Maga here- all in the same place with the same super rad people. It may feel a bit intimidating at first but you'll quickly move past that when you see how welcoming and playful everyone is. Really supportive environment while at the same time pushing you to step out of your comfort zone and go for it. JJ and Zach are awesome- they are always there to ensure you're using proper form for greater efficacy and to prevent injury. Being someone who got stuck in a boring cardio rut for a few years, exercising is now something I look forward to. Also my butt is looking pretty good already so thanks guys!
