Private Gym Near Studio City & North Hollywood
The 101 connects Studio City and North Hollywood to Woodland Hills in about 20 minutes.
Studio City and North Hollywood have local gym options. What they don't have is a capped private gym where the membership is limited by design, the floor stays open at any hour, and a trainer with 20+ years of coaching experience is available when you want them. The Compound is at 20662 Ventura Blvd in Woodland Hills, about 20 minutes west on the 101.
Members from Studio City, North Hollywood, Valley Village, and Toluca Lake make that drive regularly. The 24/6 fob access means it works on any schedule; early morning before a shoot, late evening after work, or any hour in between.

Contact Us →Is there a private gym near Studio City or North Hollywood? +
Yes. The Compound is a capped private facility at 20662 Ventura Blvd, Woodland Hills, about 20 minutes west of Studio City and North Hollywood on the 101. Members from both communities train here regularly, along with residents from Valley Village and Toluca Lake.
Is there a personal trainer near North Hollywood or Studio City? +

How much does membership cost? +
Solo is $99.99/month, month-to-month. No annual fees, no long-term contract. Cancel with 30 days written notice.
Are private gyms more expensive than commercial gyms? +
Not necessarily. The Compound's Solo membership is $99.99/month, less than many commercial gym memberships in LA, and far less than Equinox. What you're paying for is a capped floor that stays usable, maintained equipment, and an environment built around serious training. The per-session value usually compares favorably once you factor in what you actually get when you show up.
What are the hours? +
24-hour fob access Monday through Saturday. Closed Sundays for cleaning and maintenance. For Studio City and North Hollywood members, the 101 West is significantly lighter in the early morning and late evening windows, which happen to be the best training times if you're working around a production or office schedule.
How do I assess a private gym before joining? +
Visit during a time you'd actually train. Ask how the membership is capped, what's included in the monthly fee, what the cancellation process is, and whether you can meet the trainer before committing. Inspect the equipment and note whether it's clean and maintained. A gym that answers those questions clearly and confidently is worth a second look.
Can I bring a guest? +
One guest per visit; same person or different each time. Your guest trains alongside you, not independently. Each new guest signs a one-time waiver on their first visit.
How do I get started? +
Call (818) 742-8762 or use the contact page to schedule a free walkthrough. You'll see the facility, meet Paul, and have a real conversation about whether it fits what you're looking for. No commitment required on the first visit.
