Hey, not all Fitness and kickboxing/boxing gyms will treat you like the Coach Arturo. You will feel welcomed and in family. Coach that will try his best to be holistic. Just ask him and he will do his best. I've been a boxing fan wanting to learn the science of boxing, plus get the strength, endurance and shape. Yes, you will get the results if you let him do his work. Wonderful guy!!Arturo thank you infinitely for all your dedication which demonstrates the passion you have to help who needs. Thanks!

Just visited for the first time and will definitely go back. This is a very welcoming, neighborhood place. I did kickboxing led by the head coach, Arturo. I was with a small group of parents. Simultaneously, the coach's daughters led our kids in kickboxing in the adjoining room. Arturo seems like a great guy, and my son liked his daughters too. This space is small and simple but offers variety and guidance. While kickboxing was going on, one guy worked out independently with heavy weights. Arturo also stepped aside now and then to help out a woman with pain in her hip to do some stretching out. Everybody was getting what they wanted and needed. Comfortable atmosphere. More...

Two months into boxing and I love this gym! A hidden gem in the La Cresenta area (literally, I almost missed it the first time- they dont have much in the way of signage). If you're looking for an early morning work out, Arturo will make sure you have a great one. He is a great Coach who is happy you came to class and will push you to do your best with a smile on his face. He is very talkative, in a good way, and it helps you distract from the pain and sweat you pay to endure! The music is not too loud but easy to hear and its upbeat. I plan on continuing classes with Arturo and getting into great shape! The prices are very fair. First class is free and if you want to drop in its $15. Check it out! You'll feel great! This yelper gurantees it. Parking is always easy in this area. Especially in the morning. More...

I just came back from my first boxing session here and i loved it! I signed up and i'm so happy :) Love their class schedule, membership is very affordable and the trainers are helpful & make you feel comfortable. I haven't been to the gym in so long & initially thought it would be intimidating but everyone was sooo welcoming and friendly! I can't wait to try zumba tomorrow. I'm convincing my friend to sign up too. I got a great workout today and i'm looking forward to getting back in shape. I'm so grateful to have found such an amazing fitness studio. Yay!!!!!! Thank you :) More...

I found Back To Basics through a friend. The place is small and intimate and the owners know everyone's name as well as their personal goals. I took a boxing class and was scared at first, but everyone was super supportive and they made me feel comfortable. My kids now take boxing too! I have seen an improvement in just a little bit of time and I feel great! More...

This place is by far the best fitness gym in town. I've had the most pleasant experience since day one. Gail has been so helpful and accommodating. Arturo has really helped push me in the direction I want to go. He is an amazing personal trainer and he really knows his stuff! If you are looking for a personal trainer he is definitely your go to guy! Oh and they have classes that are super early in the a.m or later in the evening that really work around my work schedule. THIS PLACE IS ALL AROUND AN AWESOME GYM! More...

I'm new to Back To Basics, but my experience so far has been awesome. Everything I read on Yelp is absolutely correct. Back To Basics is a friendly, supportive, well run studio. It has a very cool, friendly vibe, and I felt welcome immediately. I was drawn there by the boxing class, and I am really liking it. I am not a boxer and never took a boxing class before, but something told me it would be a good workout. It is just what I wanted. Arturo made sure from the start that I was working at a pace right for me, but he doesn't let me slack or take it easy on me. It's a great work out. I can't wait to try some of the other classes too. It's great to have a cool place like this in my neighborhood to work out at. Thanks, B2B! More...

This is a great fitness studio to begin your workout (no judgment was felt here, coach and peers seem friendly and supportive). Arturo (down to earth, easy to talk to and ask questions) knows what he is doing and really coaches you on how to get better (adult boxing class). You get a good workout, good energy. You workout in a group setting, but it felt to me like I was getting individualized training. Nice and clean studio. Schedule runs throughout the day, which is great, especially if you have odd working hours, or work regular business hours (this is my case), but can make it early in the morning or late in the evening. VERY affordable and reasonable, you can't beat the fees, look around and you will see!Definitely continuing here and its a great way to give to yourself and to the community.small parking, but plenty in the street.great for adults and children More...

I used to travel for work and tried thousands of fitness center and gyms from northern to Southern California so I get very picky before I sign up. This is the BEST so far and it's in my neighbourhood! I found B2B in Yelp and explored their website and classes of what they offer! So one Friday night, I dragged my nephew with me to check the place out. We came in our work out clothes and walk in. The class being offered that night was HIIT (high intensity interval training)! As awkward as it seems because we walked in the middle of the class, Arturo (the owner) welcome us with open arms and gave us special attention. The work out was awesome! I swear it moved at least more than 1000 plus muscles in my system including my face muscle because I went home and signed up smiling! We loved it!The following morning we came back for more. This time it was a boxing class! My nephew thank me for dragging him into it because he gets the work out that he wants and have some fun too at the same time. (He used just to go to LA fitness and lift)! B2B offers a lot of classes from Zumba to TRX. They have kids classes too. What I love the most about this fitness Center is that, they offer early and late classes. Unlike, other gyms classes usually end at 8pm the latest. Aggghhh! That won't really work with my schedule. To add, the owners Gail and Arturo made sure that all classes are in small group to make sure that they give special attention to each and every member they have. They also send reminders about your classes! It's like a personal secretary! Also, they charged reasonably!I have met cool people in this facility and encouraged me to keep going. I'm down 4lbs in a span of 2 weeks. I highly recommend B2B. I always go home with a smile every after work out! I always thirsty for work outs everyday and I have not missed a day up to date! Love it! B2B got swag! More...

My wife and I have been training with art for about 5 months now. His circuit training classes incorporate strength training exercises such as burpees, inch worms, kettlebell, weighted squats, battle ropes. Etc He comes out with new exercises each week to keep the routines new and fresh. He's very energetic and very motivating. Brings a good vibe to his classes and will definitely push you to be better than you were yesterday. His mindset is to make us bigger, better, stronger, and faster. His classes are challenging and will push you to your limits. That's why we can't get enough of his classes!

Thank God for Google... because it led me to B2B Fitness. This is NOT your cookie-cutter, 24 hour fitness or LA fitness type gym. In fact, it's a zillion times better. Not only is the place nice and clean, but the owners are friendly and most importantly, extremely knowledgeable. You can tell right from the start that your fitness goals are their top priority. I learned more about health/nutrition in a one hour consultation than I ever did in a semester long college health class!If you're looking to get a killer workout with that personal attention you would otherwise never get at those commercial gyms, this is definitely your place.

Love this place! I was there for a Zumba Instructors Jam session, from the moment i entered the doors i fell in love with the studio. Small but big enough for a good size Zumba class. The colors of the room just burst out at you. Very calming but exciting at the same time. The owners friendly and accommodating. I will return for another session or class. Definitely a spot for good training and classes. More...

After leaving my last gym (due to a lack of challenging classes) I felt as if I had no choice but to join 24 hour fitness. ..which I really didn't want to do. I came across this gym through a trainer/friend who insisted I "check it out". She knew I was looking for a place where I would have direct interaction with trainers who would teach/focus on form and technique rather than reps. I can't say enough about this gym. It is small and quaint but don't let the size fool you. The classes are intense. The owners, Gale and Arturo, are both fitness enthusiasts. They are always immensely welcoming and truly care about your fitness goals. My favorite classes so far:Any class with Arturo. He knows his stuff. If you are looking for a trainer who cares about your technique, who ensures you are pushing yourself and getting the results you want, then this is your man. I'm addicted to his TRX and Circuit Training classes. Lisa G teaches Circuit Training + TRX on Saturdays at 9am. She is THE BEST. Constantly bringing new and challenging moves to the class. Be prepared for a total body workout. Lisa R new to B2B, does Cardio Cross X on Tuesdays at 7pm. This class will kick your butt in the best way possible. Cardio+weights+old school aerobics+the best music = a fun and challenging hour. Expect to sweat like you've never sweat before. I'm personally not a huge Zumba fan but if you are they offer some great Zumba classes with amazing, upbeat, professional instructors. I've had the pleasure of seeing some of the classes and they look like A LOT of fun. Again, sweat fest. My advice: Get over to B2B. First class is free. What are you waiting for? More...

Gail and Arturo are very friendly and welcoming owners. Gail is my favorite Zumba instructor! She makes you sweat and tone by simply dancing and having fun.

So go on over and see for yourself, you won't be disappointed. More...

FIRST TIME WRITING A REVIEW, WOOP!B2B STUDIO IS AMAZING!!! I was a full-blown dancer for 15 years. I did everything from ballet, to tap, hip hop, jazz etc. However due to a career change I had to quit dancing and move away from everything I knew!Gail (the owner) instilled my mind to "JUST KEEP DANCING!" It doesn't matter what you're doing in life, or what has happened in it, just continue to dance, always. And this studio right here, has everything for every person, on EVERY LEVEL of training/dance. I honestly, would've never gotten back into dancing out here in LA, if I had never met Gail!Back To Basics really INSPIRES all the people who come in through that door, and has the most welcoming atmosphere, ever! Everyone is friendly, and there are no judgemental stares or stank eyes coming from anyone (which is important because....AINT NOBODY GOT TIME FOR THAT!!)All the teachers are so motivational, fun, and most importantly: EVERYONE HAS AN EXTREME AMOUNT OF FUN WHILE GETTING THEIR FITNESS ON!!!!! Make your commitment to your 2014 resolutions NOW, and start a healthy lifestyle by having fun at B2B!!Gail, I love you guys, and all the people at your studio!!! More...

I have never been so committed to any workout as I am now! In November I will be competing in the Tough Mudder obstacle challenge so I knew I needed to start training intensely. I came across this place through a friend who told me about it. I came to one of their TRX classes and absolutely loved it. I am currently taking the TRX classes and my trainer not only makes this class fun, but also challenges us to work harder. You know the saying "Work hard, Play Harder". Well, yea, this is exactly how it is. Every time I feel like I already got this workout under control, BOOM! he comes up with something different and challenging. Another thing, this place also is great for kids and teens. I brought my two girls, ages 12 and 16 to their Hip Hop class and they loved it. The best part about this place and the owners is the fact that they do a lot of charity events. They have teamed up with several organizations/causes to help raise money. To me, this place rocks and the owners along with staff are AMAZING!!! More...
