We needed a place to lift during a road trip and we found this place in Ventura. Paid $15 each for a day pass on the website, showed up early on a Sunday morning and Larry (the owner) remotely let us in. He was extremely helpful, texted me to tell me where all the equipment I needed could be found, and to set some music for us. A regular helped us set the bar height for the monolift. They had a few squat racks, a decent bench with safeties and solid deadlift platforms, a good variety of barbells and deadlift bars. They also had a lot of machines but we didn't use any. The cardio stuff was on the top and machines and weights below street level, giving this place a bit of a basement feel. It was a bit crowded with all the machines but we had enough space to work and all the plates seemed to the racked. If you are a powerlifter or need a place for a serious strength workout this is the place for you. If you expect a juice bar with full towel service to wipe the sweat off your face as you watch the Kardashian's on the stairmaster and complain about people dropping weights, maybe stay home.

Larry, the owner, signed me up quick and painless. This is an awesome gym with great equipment. You can expect to find a lot of specialized equipment not usually found in commercial gyms. Whether you're a bodybuilder, powerlifter, or someone trying to break a sweat, KO is where its at. More...

KO Gym is an excellent weight training facility with dedicated ownership and staff. It deserves bonus points for all-hours access, and its anti-corporate cookie cutter culture.

This is the the best gym in Ventura county, if not the state. Larry Pollock is the best trainer I've ever had. I was a competitive bodybuilder for years but have learned more from him in the last 6 months than I had in my competitive career. I am 64 years old and he has given me a strength building diet and powerlifting program and my lifts go up every week. The atmosphere is a "family" of people serious about training but welcome everyone. Everyone cares about your training and well being. I highly recommend this gym and Larry as a trainer. I've sent three people to him and they are all so happy and have seen major gains.The best!!! More...

As a female looking for something other than your typical gym meat market, I found this place looking for a gym that caters to powerlifting, and wow is it a breath of fresh air! First off just talking to the owner upon signing up you can tell he has a lifelong passion for bodybuilding, strength sports, and diet knowledge. Very easy to have him and the trainers put you in the right directions for whatever type of goal you have. There is a variety of smooth working machines that you just don't find at other gyms. Lots of squat bars, deadlift bars, curl bars, and specialty bars! Very clean and private bathrooms. It's very motivating and cool listening to all the different types of music played here! And thwre is nothing but lots of love and friendship flowing around the gym! PS they are also a certified USPA training center and host USPA powerlifting meets which are huge and widely popular!

I enjoy this gym every time I visit ventura. I have learned so much about weightlifting from others there. I never once felt like I didn't belong.  Though I have anxiety working out at other mainstream gyms it was put to rest by some of the nice men and women that go there. 10/10 would recommend.  They have the right equipment to further your goals here, and right attitude. Can't wait to visit again. cheers More...

This place Rocks. I've trained @ pretty much every Gym in the County. This Gym is by far my favorite so far. Its open 24 7 so never any lines to wait in. The staff is Outstanding, the Equipment is Top notch...I Highly recommend it More...

This is a great gym. 24/7 access, lots of fancy new cardio stuff, a TON of machines, a power rack, monolift, two benches, and a deadlift platform. There's lots of extras, too- the gym works with a mobile hydro body fat testing operation that comes by a few times a year, and hosts powerlifting meets a couple times a year. One of the things that make this gym really shine is the great community Larry and the others have built at this gym.  Its definitely has the intimate feel of a private gym, but everyone is really friendly and helpful. If I'm not feeling great, I know I can just plop down in the office and chat with Larry and the trainers he has on staff. On that topic, the trainers here are awesome- they're all competitive powerlifters with a multitude of certifications, awards, and more than a few records. Definitely the best gym in the county!

Firstly this is a true gym. A far cry from the crowded cookie cutter nonsense. It's one of the only gyms I've ever seen that has a deadlift platform. They have so many weight machine options it's absurd. Absolutely no waiting to use equipment. Tons of free weights with plenty of benches. This is also the most uncrowded gym I've ever seen. Don't be surprised to be by yourself in here. There's a great vibe also. More like a "hey what's up?" instead of "you done with that yet bro?" You get a free one week trial and a free one hour training session with sign up. You get your own keycard with 24/7 access. So if you want to chat while waiting in line for a cardio machine there's plenty of LA, Bally, 24s, and other corporate gyms to join. Otherwise, support independent and give KO a try. More...

I'm totally sore today, in all the right places, thanks to fantastic training by Jessica at KO Gym. The hubs and I had been members at 24 Hour for a loooong time and still were, when, on a whim, we wandered into KO Gym in February of 2014. A sweet, petite woman told us to "come on in and look around". She showed us the equipment, answered a lot of my questions on a bunch of the weight machines. We decided this would be a great place to join.After working out here for 6 months, I finally get the opportunity to have that sweet, petite lady as a trainer! During our training sessions, Jessica is great. She speaks to me at my knowledge level (which is about intermediate, but I can tell from her questions that she tailors her trainings.) She is always very clear and careful while we train.She has really upped my training game. Not only does she help me perfect my form on the machines I already know and love, she has shown me a ton of machines and exercises I have shied away from (or didn't know of) in the past. Plus, training with her is fun.Even on the days when I lift weights without her, I am motivated to push myself, just that teeny bit heavier and I can feel the muscles getting toned, long and lean. Well worth the time and expense to get this woman to get your butt into shape at a gym that has a ton of great apparatus for lifters, new and pro alike! More...

After being a member of 24 hour Fitness and LA Fitness for more than a decade, I stumbled into KOGYM after I received a flyer. I took the try out and was immediately hooked. When you walk in, it looks a bit overwhelming with all of the lifting equipment. So much more than the cookie cutter gyms. I've been going for a few months now, and I can see the improvements and have broken through plateaus now that I'm actually using the right equipment (dumbbells that go past 80lbs). I have a bizarre schedule, so I show up at all hours of the day, and the place is always pumping great music. The people who work out there are there to train, not stand around and talk, the staff (Larry, Jessica are all super friendly and helpful, but never pushy). It's not hyperbole to say that this is my favorite gym of all time. It actually makes me want to go to the gym, knowing that they have all that great equipment. I'm hooked. More...

The best way to describe KO GYM is a place that delivers an exceptional product by people who truly care. This is a place where you have every tool you need to get what you want, which WILL yield results. KO is a gym that cuts out the traditional corporate BS and focuses on the only thing that matters, the customer. I have always believed that a gym should be a place where you can not only have fun and get a great workout in, but a place that acts as a community similar to a massive family. This is what KO offers and coupled with its passionate owners and trainers, is really a gym you cannot find anywhere else. More...
