Los Angeles Gay Wellness

There are plenty of gay gyms in Los Angeles to choose from: Angelenos like to keep active (and love showing off the results of their hard work). Los Angeles locals hike Runyon Canyon Park (posting endlessly about it on social media), surf the Cali swells, and sweat it out at a variety of gyms (that cater for every budget). As a visitor to the city, any of the hottest gyms in the area offer day passes that will let you stick tight to your routine.

The line between nightclub and gym is blurred at Crunch West Hollywood, where – on select nights – a DJ spins upbeat dance mixes and a variety of classes (such as pole dancing!) let you experience entertaining cross-training alternatives.

Los Angeles contains a collection of Equinoxes, with the two most popular being the West Hollywood and Hollywood locations. Both have state-of-the-art equipment and handfuls of young professionals (and social media influencers with comped gym memberships.)

Alternative wellness options

For a more unique experience while in town, try out the Instagram-famous Barry’s Bootcamp. It offers hour-long classes instructed by fitness models for one of the hardest workouts of your life. For Crossfitters scared of missing their WOD (workout of the day), Brick offers walk-in day passes and a shirt-free environment.

Similarly, Touchstone Climbing (with three locations in Culver City, Hollywood, and DTLA), allows shirtless climbing, puts together Pride month fundraisers, and enforces inclusive locker room rules to protect its transgender members.

In Venice Beach, a small fee grants you entrance to the world-famous Muscle Beach. Here you can work out and practice flexing with bodybuilding legends, all while topping up your tan, weather permitting. And there you have it... the best gay gyms in Los Angeles. Happy workout!
