Personal Trainer Near Me in Silver Lake: Indigo Fitness on Sunset

Indigo Fitness sells personal training the old-fashioned way, by the hour and with every price on the website. One session costs $130, and first-timers can buy a five-session intro pack for $500, which brings the hour down to $100. The boutique studio sits in a shopping center at 3733 Sunset Boulevard in Silver Lake, and it mixes one-on-one coaching with cycling and strength classes. If your search for personal trainer near me starts anywhere between Sunset Junction and Echo Park, this is one of the few local studios that lets you see the full cost before you call.

Indigo describes itself as an inclusive boutique studio that welcomes every ethnic background, creed, race, size and gender identity, and it states its one requirement plainly: show up ready to work hard, have fun and be open to change. Its philosophy talks about strengthening body, mind and soul, and about mindfulness as the clear path to a goal. The FAQ answers the classic beginner worry in two words, absolutely not, when asked whether you need to know your way around a gym.

Owner Seth holds NASM and ACE personal trainer certifications, an associate degree in occupational health and 200 hours of yoga sculpt training, and he previously taught at Flywheel Sports, Lagree Fitness and Barry's Bootcamp. That boutique-class background shows in the studio's mix of coaching and high-energy group formats. His own training rates are quoted separately on request.

The roster reads like a cross-section of the trade. Lead trainer Zack is a NASM corrective exercise and weight loss specialist and a certified Pain-Free Performance Specialist. Anya holds a kinesiology degree and stacks certifications from ACE, NASM prenatal and postnatal training, ACSM and USA Weightlifting. Chloe is a clinical exercise physiologist with a degree in exercise science, and other trainers bring Pilates, TRX and yoga backgrounds.

Training covers strength and muscle gain, weight management, nutrition and workouts adjusted for injuries and health conditions. A free consultation comes first, so you can meet a trainer and talk through goals before buying anything.

The posted in-house rates make comparison easy. A single hour is $130. A five-pack is $600, a ten-pack is $1,100 and a twenty-pack is $2,000, which works out to $100 an hour at the largest size. Packs of 30 or more are priced at the front desk. Semi-private training for up to three people costs $75 per person, a good option for couples or friends who want to split a coach.

Two add-ons are worth knowing about. A customized six- to eight-week workout program bundled with one in-person session costs $275, which suits people who want a plan to follow alone. A nutrition package, with a 30-minute consult with the lead trainer, a guided plan and three weekly 15-minute check-ins, also costs $275.

Between sessions, the studio's classes keep you moving. The signature Spindigo is a 60-minute class split between indoor cycling and strength work with bands and dumbbells, while Indi-Cycle is 45 minutes of pure cycling with hills, jogs and sprints, and a 45-minute hypertrophy class builds muscle with slow, steady reps. A single class is $25, a five-pack is $110 and a ten-pack is $200.

The Inclusive membership covers classes plus gym access for $195 a month on a six-month commitment, or $225 for a single month. For gym-only use, the Indigo Elite membership allows appointment-based workouts seven days a week, by application.

Training sessions need 24 hours' notice to cancel. Inside that window, the studio will try to reschedule, and if it cannot, the session returns to your account with a 50 percent penalty fee. If you are running late to a session, contact the front desk or your trainer within 20 minutes, because anything later counts as a no-show and is charged in full. Classes need 12 hours' notice, with a $15 late-cancel fee, and latecomers more than five minutes past the start are turned away.

Class packs expire a year after purchase, and nothing is refundable or transferable. Bring a water bottle for the filtered refill station, ask for a towel if you need one, and reserve the studio's single shower when you arrive.

Two smaller policies save headaches. A membership starts on the purchase date, but you can email the studio to move the start to the day of your first class, which is useful if you buy ahead of a trip. And anything left behind is held for one week before it is donated, so take a last look around before you head back out onto Sunset. Class pack extensions are granted only with a doctor's note, case by case.

Parking is available in the shopping center lot, though it fills in the afternoon and evening. Free residential parking runs along Lucile Avenue, with meters on Sunset, and street cleaning hits on Wednesdays and Fridays from noon to 2 pm. The studio is open 7 am to 9 pm Monday to Thursday, 7 am to 6 pm on Friday and 9 am to 3 pm on weekends.

After a session, walk east along Sunset toward Sunset Junction, where Sunset Boulevard meets Santa Monica Boulevard, a busy stretch of cafes, shops and restaurants. Heading west on Sunset takes you toward Echo Park and its lake, a longer stroll for a cool-down.
