John Reed Fitness Opens First Location in North America

German company RSG Group, which purchased Gold’s Gym in July 2020, has opened a John Reed Fitness location in Los Angeles, its first club in North America.

RSG Group has 15 other brands in addition to John Reed and Gold’s Gym, including McFIT, Cyberobics and High5.

For $100 per month dues, the 33,000-square-foot club, which is in the South Park District of Los Angeles, offers cardio, free weights, functional and machine strength training and boutique-style classes such as cycling, HIIT, Pilates, barre, dance and yoga. Members also get unlimited access to amenities from the Snooze Room and Sauna to relax in post-workout, locker rooms as well as coves as retreats for social interaction. Open to the public, John Reed’s Juice Bar offers handcrafted smoothies, cold-pressed juices, and grab-and-go healthy snack options.

Each of the 31 John Reed locations around the world have their own distinct style and personality reflective of the neighborhoods they are set in. The Los Angeles club offers a concrete jungle theme with original art pieces by Los Angeles artist Robert Vargas, Berlin’s street art duo Ron Miller and Los Angeles-based abstract artist Jaime Guerrero. 

“John Reed Downtown Los Angeles gives our members the best quality and training opportunities in an environment that is immersive, inclusive, and elevated,” Robert Hull, club manager, said in a media release. “I think more than ever, gym-goers want a place that really motivates and removes them from their everyday, a place that excites them. With our location’s eclectic interior, the music curation, and exceptional equipment, we give our members that experience.” 

The club hosts live DJs five days per week with the brand’s signature DJ-driven workout, Boost Club, which features a guest trainer.
