The Pearl District is serious about health. Most newer condos and apartments are equipped with an internal gym/exercise room. If you prefer to get out of your house, check out the following locations. More are opening soon!
Both 24 Hour Fitness and the soon to come LA Fitness offer up big club atmosphere. If you like expensive yoga, check out Yoga in the Pearl or the soon to arrive Barre 3 Yoga (to be located at 10th & Marshall in the Metropolitan). For a more “traditional” workout, check into Fitness Creators located near OfficeMax. Circle Studio is still pretty new to the hood and they offer Gyrotronics and Pilates. And for that extreme workout, try Extreme Training.
Where to Buy Workout Apparel
There’s no shortage of women’s fashion workout clothing stores in the Pearl. Physical Element has been around for a long time and is independently owned. You can always go to REI but you might find more of what you’re looking for at lululemon if you’re just out to look good while working out Pearl-style. Oh and I can’t forget Lucy or Signal Sports, although I’ve never personally shopped in either. I have yet to check into Icebreaker although it looks cool from the outside.
