Torrance Training Lab

One of the best CrossFit boxes I've had the pleasure of dropping into in my fitness journey!

Located in an industrial side of Torrance, TTL was a great spot with modern facilities, a large training space, and fantastic community. Coach Ashley in the morning was fun and led us in a good warmup before proceeding with the WOD which was clearly written on one of the TV monitors.

I loved being able to get a good (and challenging) workout and also engaging with a lot of the local athletes. Everyone was welcoming and it was fun to crush a pretty advanced WOD. Although I would argue that the 400m run around the gym is a bit longer than 400, I can't be too upset at working my body up just a bit more.

Thanks TTL for the great drop-in experience. I will definitely be back if the opportunity presents itself.

Coach Ashley’s classes are always fun! She always explain into detail what the workouts are, as well as going over movements. The prescribed warm up movements are always a plus!! It’s not listed on the programming so ensuring warm ups are conducted prior to the strength portion of the workout is outstanding! She always makes the class fun by allowing members to share something personal about themselves. It really brings the class together and allow members to get to know each other. It also allow new members to feel comfortable and welcomed. Coach Ashley constantly walks around the room to watch form and technique while cheering them on during heavy lifts.

Class was great! It was a long workout with a big group in before, but Coach Ashley did a perfect job of setting expectations around a quick warmup before hand, checking in individually with everyone, and introducing me and someone else doing their first class to the rest of the members. Space is awesome, equipment is top-notch, and everyone was very welcoming!

Love this gym! Came here from another
CrossFit gym in the area and this place is awesome. All the coaches are great, they are knowledgeable, attentive, and hands on. the workouts are amazing, members are inviting and the facility is top notch. Highly recommend if you’re in the area.

There are so many things I love about TTL! One of them is the variety of not only the WODs, but of the different class types available to everyone at different skill levels or based on an area you’d like to improve. There are even monthly beach workouts 🌊 Maybe even more important to me is the female strength at TTL! From the owners to the coaches and members, the women at this gym are IMPRESSIVE and motivate me to think I can achieve any lift or movement at some point. Come give the gym a try, so you can become a woman warrior!

Definitely felt welcomed, first and foremost. Great coaches and overall awesome personalities! For my first time, definitely felt a part of the community and more so taking the time to help and ask questions along the process. Happy to be back doing CrossFit and more so in having great coaches like Ashley, Jamie and the rest!

Jen was great today! The warm up “pizza” game was really fun; she explained the workout in full detail so we could set up our equipment. Then she warmed us up and went through a nice mobility flow to get us ready for the workout. Jen helped out a lot of members, especially newer ones; making sure their form was safe and they are moving properly. Jen was also super encouraging and positive! We all had a great class! Great job Jen!

We found this gym before we moved to the South Bay about a year ago. My wife and I came in as drop ins and knew right away this place was special. When we finally made the move we tried all the other local gyms before going back to TTL; and they were fine; but this place is outstanding! Needless to say we came back to TTL, joined and it's been a great year both in our training progress and with the friends we've made. The owners and coaches are excellent, the programming is challenging but fair for all levels of fitness, and the members are an eclectic group of amazing people. If your looking for a welcoming gym that will help you reach the next level, no matter where you are in your fitness journey, come check out TTL.

Coach Marivic McKinley (Coach M) is a terrific motivating and encouraging coach, which is why I've followed her to whatever gym she trains at. I think we've found a forever home at last at Torrance Training Lab. The vibe throughout is positivity and community. Coach M's workouts are great, she changes them up all the time so we aren't ever bored, and she's constantly watching to correct form and to cheer us on to become our best selves.

As someone with a conflicting job and school schedule, it’s hard to stay consistent to a certain class. However, whichever class I go to I know I’ll be well mentored and motivated by the instructor for the day's workout! All coaches are so kind, helpful, and set a great tone for the workout which always creates a phenomenal environment.
Whether I hop on a CrossFit class, strength class, Saturday buddy workout class, bootcamp class, or go in during the open hours, I know I’ll get a killer workout at TTL!
Their equipment is well taken care of and the gym well maintained also. Torrance Training Lab does a great job at helping people reach their fitness goals and has done a better job at shaping and building one of the best communities out there.

Cheryl M is an outstanding coach! She keeps an eye on everyone as they work out during class, providing encouragement as well as tips to improve form. Her positive attitude and support make TTL my number one choice for a great workout!

I start at the gym last October. I have been in several of coach Cheryl’s classes and I 10/10 recommend them, she is very helpful in making sure your technique is correct and you are pushing yourself at a safe level. The workouts are great for any fitness level.

Cheryl is an amazing coach! I would recommend anyone with or without experience to join her class. This was my first time doing CrossFit and Cheryl has been very patient and has motivated me to push harder.

Cheryl is my absolute favorite coach for sweat classes. She’s attentive, caring, hardworking and absolutely a joy to have as a coach and friend! She’s great with helping those who need extra support and pushing those who can do more. Always motivating and kind, I love coming to this gym and the community it builds!

I cannot say enough positive about Torrance Training Lab. I am in Los Angeles temporarily for work and a referral led me to check out this facility which is not too far from my hotel. It was flexible and easy enough to get a monthly pass, which is important to me since I'm only here temporarily. I joined the Bootcamp classes which are a functional fitness/conditioning mix workout. They also offer traditional crossfit. Marivic/Coach M is an amazing human. Her programming for Bootcamp is extremely challenging and the classes are a full hour. She is also engaged with the students and provides feedback and correction throughout the classes. She brought my attention to issues that I didn't even know I had. The other clients were very welcoming and there is a range of fitness levels within the class.

My assignment here is cutting cut early and I'm so sad to leave Torrance Training Lab. Hopefully one day I will be back. Also, Coach M owns the meal prep service Ready Fit Go. This is actually where I heard about Torrance Training Lab. I always look for meal prep places when I travel so I cut back on eating out. That service is also great and warrants a separate review. Overall, I'm so impressed. Go check it out and see for yourself.

Coach Cristian is always prepared for 5AM class by having the equipment we'll be using ready, ie. rowers, asbikes, ropes...He makes us his priority during that hour. His warmups are well thought of, thorough and fun. He walks around checking and when necessary, correcting our form. He is our cheerleader when we're dying during a wod. He encourages us to follow gym protocol so TTL remains the best place to workout for everyone. All the coaches are that way. The welcoming vibe of this gym comes from the top with Lexie and Jamie. Thank you TTL!

I love fitness and Torrance Training Lab is an amazing place with amazing people. From the second I walked in everyone was so welcoming, the workout was awesome and one of the owners, Jamie, even coached me on muscle ups! More than I could have asked for from my experience and anyone would feel the same way when they step in the door! Best hour of my day.

Cheryl is an amazing coach. She always adapts class to your individual needs, all while pushing you to do the best that you can be. Cheryl is supportive and encouraging.

Blake is great! It was my first time taking his class today. It was really enjoyable and challenging. He’s very attentive, helpful, and extremely friendly. (He played some really cool music too, I loved the Nicki Minaj 🤭)

Coach M (Marivic) had a great lower body circuit workout setup for us today. We started with a good leg/hip warmup, followed by a demonstration of all the movements and then the work started! She did a good job encouraging us as we went through each station.
