Gate 14 Fitness - El Segundo

"I was never interested in joining a gym before. Then I found Gate 14 and I've been a member for almost two years now. I came from primarily a yoga/running background and was looking to get more into strength training. I was pretty intimidated when I signed up for my first class because I had zero barbell experience, but Dina, Al, Ediz and the rest of the coaches made me feel taken care of from Day 1. They emphasize a form-first approach to coaching which is important to me. Two years in and I'm now regularly doing 85lb Clean & Press! The people who workout here are a multifaceted community of curious, creative, growth-oriented humans. And the workouts are designed to challenge you as much mentally as they do physically. They're often structured around a theme inspired by art/music/books/sports/etc which is one of my favorite parts. One time the workout was written to an entire rock album (NIN), and the protocol changed with each song. Definitely one of my faves. It's been a transformative experience for me, and I'm in the best shape of my life all thanks to this crew. Definitely worth checking out."

"What is Gate 14? it’s pushing your limits it’s an adrenaline shot it’s a constant challenge it’s failing better it’s been part of an amazing and welcoming community It’s mental strength It’s knowledge It’s culture It’s inspirational it’s fun Go experience it, give it some time and understand what I’m talking about."

"I would encourage anyone who is on the fence to try Gate 14! Being a member of Gate 14 for the past few years has been a great experience. The coaches are very motivating and invested in helping you reach your goals. The workouts are always different, high intensity, and more challenging than what I was used to. I feel stronger and in better shape since I started coming to Gate 14."

"Gate 14 Gym is more than just a place to work out—it's a transformative experience. From the moment you step through the doors, you're welcomed into a vibrant community of supportive members and coaches who are dedicated to helping you achieve your fitness goals. What sets Gate 14 apart is its innovative approach to programming, with workouts designed around themes backed by cultural metaphors. For instance, in June, workouts were centered on themes of equality to honor Pride and Juneteenth. This unique blend of physical exercise and cultural awareness creates an environment that is not only energizing but also deeply meaningful. Whether you're a seasoned athlete or just starting your fitness journey, Gate 14 Gym is sure to become the highlight of your day."

"I joined this gym over a year ago and never left. It is unlike any workout I've ever experienced. The staff is very knowledgeable about fitness and the science behind physical health and mental ability. The team will help guide individuals in finding their limit. If you're like me, it can be difficult to gauge one's own ability, but these guys monitor and assess what you should and should not do. This gym is hidden and tucked away in a corner of a little plaza. At first glance it doesn't seem attention calling, but don't be fooled. Once you walk in there and meet the people, hear the best music pairing to a workout, and then get through the hour workout, you will leave feeling the sense of utmost accomplishment. That sense of accomplishment has indubitably spilled over to other areas of my life as a mother, and a career woman. I think to myself - 'if I can get through this workout, I can accomplish absolutely anything that presents itself today'. It is an irreplicable feeling. Thank you to Al, Ediz, Derek, and Maggie. You guys have truly made me a stronger individual."
