CrossFit Muse is the best CrossFit gym in Los Angeles hands down. The difference is the head coach Rich who actually cares about everyone's growth and progress. Solid leadership is really hard to find nowadays.

I joined Muse in September 2020 during the pandemic and I can say there hasn't been a single day and time that I felt uncomfortable. Classes are outside and with masks on! They provide cleaning equipment including sanitizers as well.
It's really hard to find a gym that has a combination of great programming, coaches and a support system and here at Muse I found it all. The programming is great - I have only been working out here for a few months and have already gained so much more strength than before and also got better at so many movements. Every time we finish a workout cycle,

Crossfit Muse is the best gym experience I've had. Owners are great and put a lot of time and energy into programming and community development, the group is super welcoming, and the results I've seen in less than a year are better than I've had anywhere else. Classes are hard but super supportive and fulfilling! Remote classes during quarantine have been really impressive in the level and consistency of workout offered... basically I'm still sore most days :)

The best crossfit box I tried in LA! After passing by this box I finally decided to come in and I'm so glad I did. This place is awesome! Plenty of equipment, great location. Any level would feel comfortable there. The coaches are so amazing and care about technique. I would highly suggest to drop in!

I dropped in for a couple of days and had a great experience. The coaches were both knowledgeable and attentive. The other members were welcoming and programming was well thought out. I've been practicing Crossfit since 2006, and I travel a lot for business and pleasure and drop in to many boxes, I've pretty much seen it all, this is right up there. Highly recommended.
