I've been a member of Hardcore Fitness at the Agoura Hills location for the past 6 months. I recently took a class at the new Westlake Village location and loved it! Not only is all of the equipment brand new (and both locations are always clean), but the smaller facility and class sizes allow for more individualized attention from the trainers - almost as if I am receiving my own private training! This location also offers a lunchtime class which is ideal with my work schedule.
I cannot say enough good things about this Hardcore Fitness family. The intensity of the workouts may seem intimidating at first, but each exercise can be modified according to your individual fitness ability, and all of the trainers are truly SO helpful in ensuring proper form and cheering you on for extra motivation. Everyone has infectious energy, and really make you feel comfortable being there. The workouts are EFFECTIVE, too! I was leery of lifting for weight loss (I've always relied on cardio in the past), but I lost 11 pounds in my first 30 days, and feel stronger than I think I ever have in my life. I highly recommend Hardcore Fitness for anyone who is looking to incorporate more structured exercise into their routine!
Love this gym! It's not like most other gyms where you get lost in the mix of a large class. Here, the classes are super small, so you feel like you're getting more one on one time with the trainers. Also, the trainers are actually knowledgeable and really know what they're talking about when they make suggestions and actually care about your goals and progress. The bonus is that it's super clean. I can't recommend it more! Try it out. You won't be disappointed.
