A new gym has opened its doors in the neighborhood. The fresh addition to Echo Park, called Pharos Athletic Club, is located at 1316 Glendale Blvd.

This new gym offers a variety of classes tailored to each individual's skill level and goals. 

On the schedule, expect to see classes like "Work," which features four walls of low-impact cardio in which exercisers "row, ski, bike, run—with functional resistance training" to build muscle and burn calories.

Another class option is "Build," which focuses on combining a hybrid of hypertrophy, strength, and powerlifting movements "to improve the size, definition and strength of muscle." (You can check out the full listing of classes available here.)

With a five-star rating out of four reviews on Yelp so far, the fresh addition is on its way to developing a local fan base.

Niccole O., who was among the first Yelpers to review the new spot on October 12th, said: "Can't recommend this place enough! It's totally worth every dollar! Besides having a variety of classes to choose from and attentive, supportive, and fun-loving instructors, there is an INCREDIBLE physical therapy team."

Yelper Matt U. added: “Heading into Pharos is often my favorite part of my day. This place has highly experienced and supportive coaches and instructors that care about the individual. I need that!”

And Rian R. said: "Quality coaching at its best. if you prioritize experienced coaches and variety in your workouts, you'll love Pharos. Ladies night on Tuesday and Thursday is super fun, and a growing community of women."
