Fitstop is an amazing group fitness studio that offers some of the best performance, strength and conditioning workouts that I’ve experienced in a group setting. Scientifically designed programs that focus on functional movements and foundational strength while
Empowering you to move your body in ways that feel good. It’s is a community driven workout and the only one I know of that has you and your partners working together during the training sessions. It’s a must visit! Thank you FitStop Fam!

Best gym in Santa Monica!! You won't find a better community than here and I love the different class options they have to choose from. Highly recommend for anyone who's looking for their next gym to call home!

If you are looking to push your fitness to a new level, I would definitely FitStop Santa Monica a try. After 2 months of training, I am still happily walking daily to the studio to get healthier and stronger.

All coaches are knowledgeable and attentive; they have been extremely caring about my past injuries and able to guide me through exercises and/or modifications in order to keep building strength and pushing myself.

The facility is always spotless and all around equipment are top quality.

The energy of the workouts and team aspect of them can't be beat! Love the entire crew here and wouldn't drive 15-minutes daily to workout anywhere else! Incredible workout and atmosphere!

Fitstop is absolutely amazing! The community they have built is incredible and the workouts will leave you seeing top notch results. Highly recommended!

Absolutely the best gym out there! In the past, I have felt extremely overwhelmed and self conscious in typical gyms, but Fitstop provides an immensely innovative approach. I feel very supported in Fitstop. Each trainer is very very helpful and accommodating. It is an extremely safe, fun, and friendly environment.

Beautiful location with great trainers! The team-based approach allows you to foster new connections and it makes for an amazing community atmosphere. The 12 week programming is thoughtful and leans into strength training. We actually get to use barbells here in an accessible way. Fills a much needed group fitness gap on the west side. Go check it out!

Not your average group fitness class! I felt so supported by the instructors here and felt so strong afterwards. FitStop is a great community of individuals all working towards different fitness goals. There is a great level of care that goes into watching and assisting your movements so you are doing them correctly!

A new, fun, effective, and welcoming group fitness program that hails from Australia. Think F45 but with actual and true strength training as part of the programming. Workouts are split into four categories: Perform and Lift (each two days a week), Conditioning (on Wednesdays), and Sweat (on Saturday’s). All workouts are structured keeping it simple/easy to understand with written instructions and video demonstrations; where you work in groups of 2-4, which helps to meet people and build community. Instructors/Coaches are positive/upbeat and assisting/adjusting/providing modifications the whole time, providing a semi personal training experience.

Such an energetic place to workout. You have people pushing you to your full potential every step of the way! Huge FitStop guy!!

Great coaches and great community! Definitely a part of my weekly routine 🙏🏽

never been here, but my son won’t shut up about this place!

I was scrolling on Facebook and saw an ad offering me five free classes. I signed up as I'm trying to get back into shape and lose weight. I have a fitness background and do many different things now; Barry's Bootcamp, CrossFit, jogging, long walks, Hot Yoga, Pilates, Santa Monica stairs (free and always available!), etc.
Fitstop is a lot like CrossFit, and there is a large group and one trainer, a designed workout that is meant to help you become stronger and healthier and to challenge yourself—weightlifting and aerobic exercise, including a warm-up and a cool-down.
The facility itself is excellent, with bathrooms and two spotless showers. Lockers. Free unlimited parking right outside their studio.

The trainers were very enthusiastic throughout the class. They demonstrated the movements well, but there needed to be more thorough technique corrections throughout the class.
When I was there, there were 15+ people with only one coach. It wouldn't hurt to add another coach who can walk around and ensure that athletes move their bodies correctly while performing each movement, especially when working with weights!
