There are many ways to be a great gym, and Nerdstrong unquestionably is. Its rarer for it also to be such a powerful source of community. Since joining Nerdstrong, the people here have become the mainstay of my social life. There are board game nights and other events at the gym, but just as often there’s an ad hoc gathering of folks coming together to see the latest Marvel movie or simply grab a butterbeer together after work. I’ve found two different DnD groups and a weekly movie buddy already! If you’re worried you’re “not nerdy enough,” there’s no nerd litmus test: some references may go over my head, but I never feel lesser for it, and there’s always someone who will love the things you love, from Hamilton (which we blast while benching), to Battlestar Galactica, to the finer points of Cyclops’ characterization in late 2000s comics. I also want to note that, for women who are concerned at the prospect creepy nerds or creepy gym dudes, that this is one of the few environments where I have not ONCE encountered someone who behaved inappropriately. Not once! And our sense of community extends to the workouts themselves, where everyone is supportive and encouraging, cheering you on whether you’re putting that fourth plate on the bar for deadlifts, or finally getting that first strict push-up. But for competitors and athletes, Nerdstrong is an excellent gym qua gym too. The coaches push you, but push *smart:* no one leaves feeling unchallenged like they had a lot left in the tank, but no one feels like they have something to prove and risk injury either. Injury just means time not training and gaining! “Listen to your body” is the phrase I hear over and over again at Nerdstrong, and it’s refreshing to work with smart, knowledgable coaches, nerds themselves who don’t think that nerdiness is any reason to use kid gloves. THIS is how to address gym intimidation: by showing people of all backgrounds that they can go hard, excel, and meet their goals.

Dropped in during a business trip, and had a great workout with some great people. This gym does it right, with a welcoming environment and skilled trainers who understand functional movement, programming, and scaling, so that anyone - at any level of fitness - can enjoy great training in an inclusive atmosphere. I will definitely be back during my next visit to LA.

My crew and I came up for a visit and had a great time. Fun workout, great camaraderie and a fun community feel. If they were closer to us, Im sure wed frequent this place. Thank you so much to Andrew and Corrine.

Great crossfit-style gym with community of pop culture geeks.
