If you're on the fence about joining Helix, let this be your sign to do it! Whether you're looking to gain strength, improve your mobility, or generally maintain your health & fitness, Zach and his team at Helix will get you there.THE GYMThe gym space is large, well-kept and managed, always clean, and well stocked with ample weights and equipment. The bathroom is stocked with toiletries(and tampons/pads for ladies which I really appreciate!) It's in a great location in Sherman Oaks with easy-access parking in the back.THE TRAINERSZach trained most of my classes, and I love his training style. I was super intimidated joining a gym with olympic-style barbells and giant weights, but he made it feel so approachable. The other trainers Nate, Kristine, and Pippa are amazing as well and keep the energy high while ensuring everyone is using proper form.THE CLASSESThe classes are capped at 10 people which really allows the trainer to be able to focus on each person individually, along with their goals. Zach's programming is intentional. Each class starts with a thorough dynamic warm-up, and ends with a cool down. I've gotten injured at so many different gyms, and while at Helix, I was lifting heavier than I ever have and I never had pain once.Overall, Helix is such an amazing gym! I'm so glad I found it and made the switch from my old gym.
