West Hollywood is where so many exercise and wellness trends are born. And when you visit, you’re in the perfect place to try the latest innovations in fitness. Meet spin instructors who double as motivational speakers, book a one-on-one boot camp with a celebrity trainer, or work up a sweat in gyms with lighting and sound systems that would make some nightclubs jealous. (And when you’re done, revitalize your mind, body and soul at one of these top-rated spas.)
Here are some of our favorite spots to hit your fitness goals in West Hollywood.
Barry’s
Founded right here in West Hollywood in 1998, Barry’s is the OG bootcamp workout. Their impressive list of celebrity clients (including Kim Kardashian, Jessica Biel and Jake Gyllenhaal) and more than 70 studios worldwide is evidence enough that their system works. Barry’s workouts combine running and jogging with functional strength training targeting specific areas of the body, like arms and abs on Monday and full body on Friday. Look for Barry’s newest workout, Ride X Lift, which is 50% low-impact cardio on a stationary bike and 50% lifting weights on the floor. Single-class passes at Barry’s are $34.

Pvolve
Touted as a “game changer” by Jennifer Aniston (who joined the company as a partner in 2023), Pvolve was created by and for women as a more sustainable, but no less effective, alternative to traditional strength and weight training. Their method combines low-impact movement with resistance equipment for a workout that sculpts, tones and strengthens your body. The result? A lifted butt, toned legs, sculpted arms and “lines you won’t believe” in your abs. Visitors can drop into any class for $36. Classes fill up quickly, so we recommend reserving your spot in advance.
