Los Angeles is a capital of wellness and fitness, where famed brands and workout buffs have sparked many to want to better themselves. Active Angelenos now have even more options.
One of the most pervasive places for wellness and fitness, Gold’s Gym, operates in 23 L.A. locations — and will soon be opening an outpost at Beverly Center. The Los Angeles Athletic Club, a historic private members club in Downtown L.A., just added a seventh-floor fitness facility. Stark Fitness takes a whole new (and whole-body) approach to wellness through the Wheel of Health model. And Guerlain Wellness center at the Regent Santa Monica Beach offers a spa, swimming pool and fitness center.
So let’s hit the gym.

The historic club’s 12-story Beaux-Arts building is a Downtown time capsule, mixing vintage charm with modern amenities. Members enjoy a 25-meter pool, basketball court and four dining venues — plus a new 10,000-square-foot seventh-floor fitness facility, added in January after a multimillion-dollor renovation. The club also boasts speakeasy-inspired co-working spaces, Neptune Spa services, soundproof rooms and access to 200+ clubs worldwide. Executive membership costs $225 monthly

A Parisian fragrance, skincare, and makeup house founded in 1828, Guerlain’s roots are evident the moment guests enter the new wellness center inside the Regent Santa Monica Beach. Past the display of perfumes and products (incorporated in spa treatments) is a luxurious 10,000-square-meter complex — with 12 treatment rooms, three lounges, a sauna and steam room, a plunge pool and a fitness center.
