Pulse Fitness Studio

Me and my fiancé took our very first boxing class with Joseph and it was very fun! He was very attentive and always helped us adjust if we were not getting the moves. By the end of the class we were dripping sweat. My heart rate monitor said my HR was averaging 150 bpm-​180! By the end of the class I burned 500 calories. It’s a great workout if you want to switch your daily workout routine. Even though we had never done boxing, we were able to keep up with the class.

I have been working out here since February 2015. The best workout, support system, trainers, owners I have ever met or taken classes from. They are so positive and keep you motivated! Thank you to all the trainers, especially Larry. I HATE working out and these classes are hard (in a good way), but I keep coming back, day after day. Results are showing! I see my body transforming and the compliments I get are so rewarding. I could NOT have done it without this incredible support system. Thank you Pulse Fitness!

I’ll start by saying that I absolutely hate working out. I mean. HATE…but given my beer and crappy food consumption, I thought I’d better try and change that mindset. I decided I would give boxing class a shot, as opposed to just joining a gym. Best decision ever. Roger, Sue, Joseph and Michelle are all amazing, and make the class fun. Not only an incredible workout, but you’re also learning a skill. Strongly recommend it.

The boxing classes at Pulse are the best — taught by a family of black belts who always promise a killer work out. Prepare to work hard and get a little better each time you go… it’s okay if you’ve never boxed before, they provide gloves and you’ll learn quick! :)

Love their classes — pushes you to do more and feels so good go finish it.
I love boxing classes — instructors are so into it :)
The attendees always have great energy and pumps me up to keep going!

This class was amazing!!! I loved it! They were very helpful. I love how today was my first day and as soon as I walked in the instructors and even girls that were taking the class was helping me out! Recommend this to anyone that is ready to have an intense workout!

OK, I have to give a shout out to Roger, Sue, & Joseph Marshall. I’ve been taking the boxing and box & tone classes for the last 6 months. The classes always start on time and the drills are always different and fun. Every class has it’s unique set of drills and exercises. It’s never boring. Sometimes you have all 3 instructors on the floor with about 10 participants to a class! Pulse Fitness rocks!

My mom and I decided to try Pulse, looking to try something new. We arrived 20 minutes early, expecting to be onboarded (introduced to instructor, shown equipment, etc.). The staff was very friendly, but seemed very overwhelmed, even though the class wasn’t too crowded. When we started class we were not shown where to go, or what to do. We sort of followed the crowd.
Half the group starts on the treadmill, and the other half on the floor. My mom and I both felt neglected on the treadmill. There was very little speed and time direction, so we felt a bit unmotivated. I’m used to instructors pushing me, and giving various speed direction based on ability. While on the floor I felt the format wasn’t well thought out. I also noticed the heaviest weight was a 30. If they had heavier weights, I just didn’t see them. The instructor did walk around the room, but I felt like everything was a bit off the cuff.
Overall, the studio was clean, and the staff was friendly. I didn’t find the workout challenging, nor the instructor able to provide me with the encouragement to take it to the next level. I’d recommend pulse for a beginner. If I’m going to pay for a drop in, I would probably go to Barry’s up the street for only a few dollars more.
Improvement recommendations:
–train staff to properly onboard new clients
–create a format for the run block that is challenging and provides direction for different fitness levels
–greater weight selection
–quicker transitions: I felt like I was standing around a lot
–start on time: big pet peeve. If a class starts late and ends early I’m not really getting the workout I signed up for
Wishing you the best of luck, as I do believe pulse is great for some, just not me.

I’m unbelievably happy that I found this place. I’ve been wanting to box for THE longest time and I came across this place on Groupon and it’s one of the best «investments» I’ve made. Since boxing is my main focus, I’ve been going to Sue and Marshall’s and Joseph’s class. This family can kick BUTT. I haven’t sweat so much before; it’s incredible. After only 5 sessions it grew on me so fast that I’ve committed and bought gloves, wraps, and now I want my own punching bag.
I’ve also taken the Upper Body with Abs with Erin and that was also great. I was sore for a couple days after.
Parking is also very easy. There’s a garage below and no charge! Also in a great/​safe location.
I’m going to purchase the 50 classes and I’m stoked! I wish I knew about this place earlier, but better late than never!

A-​M-​A-​Z-​I-​N-​G!!! This is all I can say! This is such a great workout! I got a groupon for 10 classes and decided to give this place a try. I am so glad I did. I attended «To the core» classes, and it is a combination of treadmill and floor exercises. It will challenge your body in a whole new way. I love it!!!

Love love love pulse! Such an amazing and intense workout! Love the transition from cardio to floor exercises and back to cardio again. I’ve tried the KO conditioning and I love it! My instructor has been Mark and he is amazing! He doesn’t push you to what your body can’t do but pushes enough to challenge your body. He checks your form and he is a highly energetic person! He also motivates you! So happy I found this studio!

Larry was my trainer, and he was amazing! Great music, he really made me work, and kept me motivated the whole time! I highly recommend trying Miss Little gym on the second floor, just as good as some major workout classes but for half the price

Really great workout but be prepared to sweat buckets! Pushes you more than you could ever push yourself!

Pulse Fitness Studio is AMAZING. I am a ClassPass user, and this has become one of my favorite spots! I have had classes with Josephine and Larry and they are both wonderful! They both have so much energy it’s simply contagious. The classes are not easy, but you’ll leave feeling incredibly accomplished and victorious! You’ll certainly be sore if you’re new to the classes. All kinds of people at all kinds of fitness levels in these classes. Trainers will push you, but within reason! Front desk staff is friendly and welcoming. Studio is fresh and clean.

For the past 5 years Ive been trying to get myself back in shape and having a real hard time. I found Pulse Fitness and decided to try the 30 day unlimited classes thinking that maybe I can loose 5 pounds.
. and.
I just completed the 30 days this past week and couldn’t believe the results! I lost 11.2 pounds, gained great muscle definition on my arms, back and legs and back to wearing a size medium for the first time in years! Mark gave me the motivation and extra push that I needed!
The classes are fun yet challenging and the energy in the room is fantastic. Every day is a different type of class that focuses on a different area so you can literally go every day of the week for a new workout. Im so excited about my wonderful results in such a short time that I’ve decided to keep going to meet my ultimate goal and loose the last 10 pounds with Pulse because I know they can help me get there!

Pulse Fitness will change your life and physical wellbeing. I purchased classes at Pulse in addition to my gym membership because I was looking for a real challenge, and I FOUND IT!
If you’re looking for change, REAL change, and are bored of your workouts and want to be in the best shape of your life, you need Pulse Fitness. I used to hate running on the treadmill until I learned how to incorporate it into my workouts the right way at Pulse. I am so grateful for this studio and the staff. Your first class is free. so what are you waiting for?

I LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE PULSE FITNESS! I’m mad at myself for not making the time to
go more often. But I have tried many different studios and all kinds of classes, Larry H’s class is out of this world. He is so patient and attentive. Yet he pushes you and makes you test your own limits.
I miss this class so much! You must try it!!!
Just signed up again and I’m so happy! Love this studio. Everybody is friendly, unlike most boutique fitness studios. Here, they welcome new members and make you feel right at home.

What are you insane or something?
Coming to Pulse is like signing up for a hike, no scratch that a RUN up a sand dune in the Sahara Desert with nothing but some water and your boom box bumping your best Pandora workout mix. In short these classes aren’t for the casual fitness junkie. Noooo buddy you must be someone glutton for punishment.
Perks:
Online Booking– All class schedules are posted online and can be booked online. It’s simple, it’s awesome. When you come in they give you a little keychain pass that allows for an even faster sign-​in. I mean it’s just convenient
Parking– Ample and free underground parking. They even have a car wash service that will beautifully clean your mobile for only $ 20. They are super-​fast and efficient.
Facility– There’s one room for cycling and another room with the treadmills for the other classes which also includes weights. They have lockers located in each of the workout rooms. There’s also a unisex restroom. Side note — the restroom is stocked with feminine hygiene products so no excuses on why you can’t finish your torture, I mean workout. No showers.
The Workouts–
I’ve been to three different classes
Below the Belt– «Targets butt and legs. No secrets here. It’s butt. It’s legs. It hurts so good!» Possibly one of the dynamic classes they have. It’s about 15 – 20 mins of treadmill work and that includes running and uphill work. And then there’s floor work which usually consist of heavy to medium weights with squats and lunges and other forms of leg work. It’s certainly great for cardio and toning. Larry is insane. He’s the sweetest but at times you will think he’s trying to murder you.
Upper Body with Abs– «Give your legs a break. Work those arms, tone those shoulders, strengthen your back, and firm your chest. Oh yeah… BIG abs day !!» Just a crazy as below the belt and very similar to its structure but instead of leg work its abs and upper body. Again Larry will push you beyond limits but you will feel amazing after.
Box and Tone — «TREADMILL, FREEEWEIGHTS, BANDS and BOXING. It all happens in 1 hour with So Cal’s Number 1 Black Belt Family, The Marshall’s.» The treadmill work is mostly go-​at-​your-​own-​pace. But the boxing is the butt kicker. Your WHOLE body will be sore. But its super fun and the Marshall’s are super supportive and knowledgeable. The workout is a great stress reliever and is easy pick up. They do have gloves you can borrow but I suggest bringing your own.
Overall AMAZING place to work out. The staff members are friendly and personable. The facility is always clean tidy. It’s a great atmosphere but it’s challenging. CERTAINLY not for someone looking for a casual workout but if you love a challenge this place is for you! Also its ALWAYS super-​hot in there with the dance lights so if you are rocking a fresh press you may want to think twice before going in. You will sweat gallons, puddles so beware.

Bought a Livingsocial for five classes, and after taking my first class I wish I had bought the voucher for 10!
The people who run this place and work here are really nice and informative. I emailed to take a 5:30 class, and got stuck at work so I got there for a 6:30 class and they were totally understanding. A lot of studios are really crazy about enforcing when you sign up for a class, so I was pleasantly surprised that they were so nice about it.
The class I took was focused on legs and reminded me a lot of Barry’s Bootcamp, another studio I also love! Its priced lower than Barry’s so that’s a plus, but it doesn’t offer as many classes as Barry’s.
The class size was small, which I LOVED! I hate when classes are so crowded you have to fight people to get weights. But they thing that really stuck out to me was the great customer service, both from the guy at the front desk and of the trainer, Larry.
I will definitely be back!

I’m so glad I found this place!
I bought a Groupon here after needing to switch up my workouts and reading all of the great reviews.
I was a little nervous about a treadmill/​weight training type program because even though I used to run regularly on a treadmill, my current apartment doesn’t have a gym so I hadn’t done it in awhile. I didn’t know if it was the kind of place where they scream at you or give you a free tee shirt if you barf from working out so hard.
Definitely not that kind of place. First of all, it’s not like they just throw you on a treadmill for half an hour. The running is broken up, you’ll run for a bit, go do some weights, go back to running, etc. Even when you are running, they are constantly coaching you and switching it up. You may be running really fast every few minutes, or they may have you switch up the incline every few minutes, so it never gets boring and you work really hard!
The instructors push you, but not in a drill sergeant way. They will tell the class, turn up the incline to this, or pick up your speed by 1, etc. but they won’t call you out if you don’t do what they say or need to catch your breath. I find them to be very positive and encouraging to work with.
I also like this because I travel a lot for work, and I take some of the things we do here and try to replicate them in the hotel gyms. I don’t get as good of a workout as I do when I’m actually at Pulse, but my hotel-​workouts have definitely improved!
I’m very glad I gave this place a try and look forward to many more great workouts!
