The Strength Shoppe (Echo Park/DTLA Studio) - Los Angeles, California

Vivian Geiseler

The Strength Shoppe’s Echo Park location is a hidden gem. It’s part of a building complex called the Echo Park Village that has a variety of other small businesses & an on-site parking lot. I had the opportunity to do a training session with Denice, one of their coaches and was blown away by the effectiveness of this style of strength workout. As someone who hadn’t had any prior experience in a real gym, I really appreciated Denice’s patient approach to coaching. She had a super calming presence during the session too. Melinda, the gym’s owner is leading the way within the LA community with this pretty cutting edge high intensity training workout.

I have been a regular client at Strength Shoppe Echo Park for 2 years. I’m in my late 60’s, with bad knees and when I started, I had just had a couple of bad falls.I was pretty discouraged about being able to continue to be active without injury. With regular workouts at Strength Shoppe that were targeted to my needs, I can now trip and regain my balance without falling! I would strongly recommend Strength Shoppe.

This is the perfect way to build strength over time. I’ve been training here once a week for about 6 months and I can definitely feel myself getting stronger.

The instructors do a great job at pushing you to muscle failure and tracking your progress so you can really see results. Technique is important with strength training and they will help to make sure that you’re doing the exercises correctly so you build muscle more efficiently.

All in just 20-30 minutes!

I highly recommend the Strength Shoppe!

Wow! Who would have thought 20-30 minutes would give me the results I wanted AND needed?!! I've worked with two of their trainers, and they were fabulous. This gym is unlike any other. For my workout, I was the only one there--that's how they do it. It makes it such a personally tailored experience. They have a secret sauce that has changed every strength-training workout since. Oh, and by the way, I'm over 65 years old, and this is the best shape I've in been in, well, let's say, decades. Don't hesitate, go!!! (you can find this review in Yelp, as well)

What an awesome place to improve your health and body! I left my session at The Strength Shoppe with Cassidy and Melinda totally excited about my next workout. They were precise about every movement and took care to make sure I was pushing to failure. I’m incredibly anxious to see what my body looks and feels like over the next few months!! If you’re thinking about trying this place out… DO IT!

From the moment I met Melinda (the wonderful owner) at the Strength Shoppe in March 2022, I knew she was something special. She lives and breathes her work and is so devoted to helping her clients. I had my husband try a workout with me and he loved it at as well. Melinda is so knowledgeable and will always take time to explain everything and answer your questions about strength training or nutrition. She’s also a great listener if you need to rant about your daily life. Glad that I have a place to workout and also a dear friend in Melinda.
