  6. Best workout EVER!
    Circuit works is amazing! It is the best workout you will get anywhere in los angeles and your body will thank you. It is very fast-paced, fun, high energy class with great music. The classes are small enough that you feel a part of the "circuit works family" and you get attention from the trainers, but they are big enough not break your budget. I used circuit works nutrition and workout program ...

  8. Circuit Works is GREAT
    Circuit Works is great- Knowledgable trainers with helpful suggestions. All of the benefits of working out with a personal trainer & being in the group exercise environment. It is a great place to go to learn more about health & fitness, get in shape & meet people. I tell everyone about it- it is a great concept, especially for those who are short on time. Being somebody that gets bored with w...

  9. Best 1-hr. workout ever
    Super workout -- Raphael kicks it up and keeps it at that level until the brutal end. You go from aerobic to anaerobic every few minutes -- different weight exercise every time. And the last 5 minutes are intense stomach exercises. Schedule is varied every day and the time goes by superfast. I recommend buying the package. This can fit into anyone's busy schedule.

  10. Brilliant Concept!
    I've belonged to several gyms over the years, worked out with personal trainers, done circuit training in a semi-private setting, taken yoga and pilates classes, but nothing compares to Circuitworks and the energy of Raphael's well-thought out program. The classes contain everything necessary to keep you in tip-top shape, and each session is different from the last, preventing the boredom that s...

  11. A Great Workout... and time flys by!
    I have tried all sorts of different exercise programs and Ciruitworks is the only one I've found that offers a "one stop shopping" workout experience. During a one hour class, we warm up, stretch and get right into it, alternating back and forth in one minute intervals of cardio and weight training. My heart rate stays up (so I know I'm getting a great workout) and the variety of moving to diff...

  12. Best complete workout you'll ever get!
    If you want to become healthy and strong, stay in shape, shed a few pounds or loose a great deal of weight...Circuitworks is the place for you. In one hour you will accomplish more than in a half an hour of cardio, followed by an hour with a personal trainer. Circuitworks offers a complete workout combining strength training and cardio in a one hour session...your investment will be worth it!

  13. Seriously - THIS IS A WORKOUT!
    Okay... so I need someone to push me and I like a little competition. This is such a perfect setup for me. No set night which is an advantage over a personal trainer... I go when I can and I pay when I go. NICE. When I go I workout so hard that sometimes I feel like I am going to pass out which is a good thing. I LOVE THIS PLACE! I'm thinking I'm burning about 1200 calories in an hour. The best 2...

  14. Really Really Great Workout
    This workout has been a lifesaver. I recently had a baby and could not loose the last few pounds. Within a week of Circuit works I saw such a difference. Now I am truely addicted to this high energy hour. I love it.

  15. fantastic workout
    You just have to try it yourself to completley understand what a truly amazing workout it is. The classes are fun, challenging and constantly changing, so no early burn out. All the instructors are kind but dont let you get away with being lazy. Commit to a package and you will see a difference fast, not to mention you will feel guilty when too much time slips by. It has a wonderful neighborhood ...

  16. They'll inspire you to kick it up a notch
    I heard good things about this place, but was still skeptical. I was an all american track althlete and have had my share of super intense workouts. It takes a lot to challenge me, even years after retiring from competitive sports. But...Rapheal did it. I was fully wiped at the end of the class. It's very high paced. You change exercises every few minutes so you don't get bored. And he (& hi...

  17. The best work out!
    Circuit works provides the best work out. There are several classes daily which makes it convenient. The equipment are new, modern and most importantly, very clean. Raphael and his staff are friendly and motivating. I definitely recommend it.

  18. Excellent Place to get fit
    My girlfriend and I signed up for Circuit Works about three weeks ago. In those three weeks I have felt more fit than any other time of my life. The staff there is very friendly and want you to push yourself to get the most out of the workout. They offer a variety of different workouts every hour which lets you have flexibility with everything else going on. I believe one of the best things about...

  19. Best 1 hour work out on the westside
    I love it! For a hyper-efficient work out, you can't beat it. I would NEVER work out that hard on my own, and Raphael and staff are charming (as they add 5lbs to your squats with a smile).

  20. Fast, effective work-out...no pain, no gain.
    I am competitve and like to be the best at whatever I do. Having the stations set-up with the cardio machines in between sets made me want to do the most and best at all the stations in comparison to the others in the group. I worked so hard, I thought I was going to throw-up; just like the first time we were required to run the mile in 5th grade and I tried to sprint the whole way to beat the ...

  23. Amazing Results!!
    Circuit Works Rocks!! I ran the LA Marathon this year for the first time and although I felt in shape I didn't feel toned. A friend of mine mentioned that I try circuit works and was adamant that it would be the best workout I have ever gotten. I played Division 1 Soccer in College and have been through some sick workouts so I was a little skeptical...I was wrong!! Circuit Works is one of th...

  24. BEST WORK OUT IN VENICE
    From the outside, I think people mistake CIRCUIT WORKS, for your Momma's Curves, but Curves it ain't. This place rocks so hard you literally feel a change in your body by a week. Run don't walk to this place. Your entire body will be happy you did.

  25. It's addictive.
    I've been going to Circuit Works for 2 years...It originally started in the owner's garage and was so popular that he opened a storefront on Abbot Kinney. In a 1 hour class, you will listen to great music, lift weights, bike, run, work your abs, stretch, and SWEAT. The trainers are so knowledgeable and approachable. The other clients are friendly. The best testament I can give Circuit Works i...

  26. Killer workout.
    The first four times I took classes at Circuit Works I left thinking I should just forget about trying to get in shape. The classes were fun and satisfying though, so I kept going back, and within two weeks I was not only enjoying the classes immensely and looking forward to going back, but I could feel and see results from head to toe.

  27. The best work out ever
    I have trained for college sports and is a keen surfer, but this is definitely the best work out I have ever had for increasing metabolism rate. It really works and I can feel the difference after a few session. The staff are also super nice and very professional. You must try it!

  28. Great workout for those who want to get the best results for the time invested
    Love it. I've only started going and the first time, I have to admit, I was pretty sore afterwards, but it gets better. The time flies by and you feel like you are really part of a group effort going back and forth between the cardio machines and the weight training. As hard as it is, it seems to fly by and then you feel geeat all day, knowing you've done a great workout for your body. Plus, ...

    Let me start by saying, that if you are constantly trying to find the best work out, or the best trainer in LA..your search STOPS here,,,,, I started with Raphael and his beach workout 6 months after my 1st baby...within 3 months of going to Raphael?s beach boot camp I was back to my pre baby size!

  32. Best Workout on the West Side
    Circuit Works provides an incredibly challenging but totally fun workout and the time flies. Having always been a sort of fitness fanatic, this place has taken me to the next level for sure. But beginners need not be intimidated because the workout is tailored to all levels, wherein more advanced people can use heavier weights and run on the treadmill, and if you're not feeling up for that, it ...

  33. The only work out that I actually get excited about!
    Everyone at circuit works is so nice and encouraging, that the time goes by so quickly that you forget that you have just done a hardcore workout. It is a great alternative to having a personal trainer because it is less expensive and the energy level from the other classmates make you want to work harder! Everyone on the westside should be going to circuitworks.

  34. Most Effective Workout Around!!!
    Circuit Works is a FANTASTIC workout! From the high energy, highly trained staff to the ball busting routines this workout is a definite fat burner. There's not a better, quicker, or more fun way to get in shape. I would highly recommend circuit works to anyone of any fitness level.

  36. Best workout ever!!!!!!!!!!!!
    Me and my pal decided to check out the Circuit Works first free class. We were a little nervous walking in, but the friendly staff put us at ease immediatly. It was a small class, so we, as novices, got lots of personal attention. While it certainly was a strenous workout, Raphael has shaped the class so you can get a great work out but at your own level. Good Luck!

    I love these classes because in one hour you get a thorough and complete workout. The instructor has GREAT energy and keeps us all working it hard and pushing ourselves to the limit. The approach and the facility is state-of-the-art. You feel it right away and after only a few sessions you see the results.

  40. Fantastic Work-out
    I've been going at 6am almost every day since January, and it's hard for me to imagine sticking to anything that long at that hour, unless it were great! The key is that Raphael has put together a well thought out program that changes every day and every week. I would never spend the time to change up the exercises so that I work every muscle in different ways. I wouldn't be so efficient eithe...

    I don't even know where to begin. This place offers the best workout I've ever had!!! It is extremely challenging and rewarding. If you buy the packages, you'll save a little money instead of buying the individual classes. If you've ever wanted a personal trainer, but couldn't afford the Big Bucks..this place is for you. I've been going twice a week for about 4 months and I feel stronger, lo...

    This place gives you a great workout and the trainers are helpful, professional and friendly. And I would go there a couple of times a week if... it weren't so expensive! I can do two yoga/spinning classes down the road for the same price as one class here. I'm sure it's worth it if you have the money or if you were going to pay a personal trainer, but for me, I don't think I can justify the e...

This is attributed to Circuit Works and Rafael's expertise in creating these small great classes with individual one on one attention. As a professsional firefighter, I need to be in top notch physical shape. Rafael and his ...
