Reviews of Original Muscle Beach Santa Monica

Kirt Kingzett

The beach and equipment are great. There's plenty to do with rope climbing pull-ups, the ring swings are fun and challenging.

Russ Vandeveerdonk

Where the US got started in physical fitness,.. beautiful, clean ropes, swings and rings! Safe, secure and lots to do and see!!!

Vishnu K

Had a great time here! Be ready for the crowds of people that come here and bring your jacket because it can get pretty cold. There are many great spots to take pictures and spend time with family and friends here. We enjoyed the views entering the pier area and leading down to the actual pier. There are a variety of food options and many vendors providing custom gifts. We had some amazing funnel cakes and bought souvenir pictures for our group. This is a great spot for a day or night experience

Tim Stotler

Cleanest Beach in California that we visited! Beautiful park and walkways. Easy access to the Pier.

Hasan S

Nice facilities but disappointed to not see anyone working out! I climbed up the ropes which was good fun though

Linda kulczyk

Interesting place. Try your muscles on the bars and rings. Watch gymnastics too.

Town Traveller

Free gym and it was fun trying out the equipments.

Cortez Bronson

A bodybuilders dream place to workout and meet all the greats! 💪🏽 The skatepark is a whole vibe and all the coolest people hang here, always meeting someone famous 🤌🏽 …

Dong Hui Kim

I was surprised to find that they had lots of different things to do. It's like a playground for adults! There were a lot of very fit and athletic people here, so I did feel a little intimidated. Nonetheless, they mind their own businesses and are very respectful.

Travis Brewer (Tbrewer314)

This is one of my favorite places in the world! It has changed my life and inspired our group @positiveimpactmovement to perform on America’s got talent! Come down watch us perform and or come play anytime!

PeterSu Copley

Great place to take the family to see the sights and sounds of California. There are swings for the kids, rings to hang from, ropes to climb and slack routes of many different lengths to walk across. Challenge yourself, challenge your friends or just enjoy the spectacle. A good time will be had by everyone.

Randy Kielan

Great place to enjoy the day with your family and friends. Offers Restaurants for burgers and hot dogs, bike , surfboard rentals not to leave out all the awesome assortment of activities such as Rope climb, speed latter, Rings, And parallel bars and the ocean to cool off after all your activities

Harrison Sallow

On Sunday a ton of acrobats show up to slack line, do gymnastics and acroyoga. If you're visiting you need to check it out. During the week it's a great place to work out. They have pull up bars, parallel bars and rope to climb. Go get your pump on at the Original Muscle Beach!

Dean Lorenzo Tartaglia (DeanLorenzo888)

Awesome place to actually develop your body and mind, naturally. In other words using your own body weight, as opposed to external weights. And also, if correctly instructed, to also develop actual spiritual growth. Again, correctly instructed, in the actual ancient science, of at least 5,000 years of full spiritual development, (not a belief or an artificial religion). Again, in other words, most actually have "proof" and evidence. Therefore, my heartfelt wishes, for your growth/evolution.

Mario Hartson

Great place to work out alone or with friends. It's especially peaceful later at night. Perfect for a late night workout.

Charles “Jordan” Ozeta

Always a fun time! Great spot to chill and vibe, or challenge your body on the fitness equipment. It's an adult playground!

Daniel W

I love this place. It's like my home away from home. The traveling rings are a lot of fun, and even though they take time to master, everyone there is ready to help you out and give you tips how to get better. I think the best part of Santa Monica is how friendly and helpful everyone is. They're always willing to help you figure out anything. I've seen guys do something cool on the p bars and just walk over to them and ask them how to do it. They gave me a whole lesson right then. The people are awesome and the equipment is awesome. Best place to just spend a day hanging out with chill people and get in a solid workout while having fun at the same time. Tip for parking: don't park by the pier, there is a closer lot a little further down way closer to muscle beach. I think it's 7 bucks for the whole day. And unless it's a really busy day, they've always got empty spots. Oh, and bring sunscreen ;)

Αντώνης Δραμυτινός

Venice beach were David Hasselhoff & Pamela Anderson run for rescue!

Jozef Kováč

Great place. There is so many peole, who are role models in what they do. It is like a cirque for free and all these sports gods were nice. I don't work out but I tried circles on chains and one guy gave me a chulk for free. He said: It is beach chulk. It was awesome. I love it and I have to come back one day. Muscle beach has special atmosphere for me.

Nikhil Jadhav

Best outdoor gym anywhere with a separate green patch to do yoga as well.

Jen

Best people watching around! Random people try to do yoga on some small strip of grass, mediocrity talent recording themselves to post to their social media, lots of people in various stages of fitness working out, and the occasional fantastically talented parkour/tricker flipping around the area. I highly recommend taking a long lunch here just sitting and watching, maybe throw in your own handstand to join the crowd...

Scott “S Bixler Photography” Bixler

There was a beautiful sunset tonight at the beach with friends. We got some good acrobatic pics after playing on the rings. All in all, a relaxing end to a long week.

Dávid Kovács

Nice and famous place and friendly people. I personally prefer doing other things on the beach but it's fun to watch.

Alex Choi

Climb the ropes, Swing the rings, pull up on the bars, run along the beach, chat up some hotties if you’re in the mood. Life can be good if you let it. Welcome to Santa Monica. This is the way.

Zornitsa Ivanova

Sunsets in this part of town are amazing. Sunday afternoon is when is the most fun

SHANE Gonzo

So many homeless people and crazy people walking or camping or yelling ,sad to see this here . I wouldn't recommend going .

Chinky Ong

I enjoy my Sundays fundays at the Santa Monica Original Muscle Beach doing acrobatics and monkeying around learning circus skills like hand balancing on parallettes, canes, blocks and hand to hand on strong human bases. Stretching with certified yoga instructors, past present and future Cirque Du Soleil cast members, personality acts, acrobats, past and present Olympians, professional circus performers, acro yoga, ballet, ballroom, salsa, hip hop, jazz, contemporary, and exotic dancers to name a few.

Darius Mrkonic

What began in the late 1930's as a playground for acrobats, @ the Original Muscle Beach in Santa Monica, California, remains today as a historical site dedicated to acrobatics, and a host of other outdoor playground activities.

Henry Chen

Cool place for some rings and other gymnast setups as well as tightrope walking. People seem friendly and wait their turn. Be dazzled by the Masters and learn from them as you watch them do some crazy feats of physical strength and endurance.

CHAD

Excellent place to go to to chill and have fun

maria

Very nice facilities. Kids love it. Relaxing time.

Deep Navadiya

There was a fun night when we reached the beach and enjoyed there weather

oshane johnson

Love this place!!! Great place to just chill and relax. It's quite simple and just have fun. You can go any day if you want to. It's a very relaxing vibe.

Chretien P. Schatorie

I am always amazed by the talented people working out there, even wondering if they are professionals or just amateurs having a good time.

Hector Esquivel

Love this place..little disappointing that the muscle beach was closed for remodeling...but cool cool place to do it all eat, drink, shop and loved the bicycle path..

Jared Freeman

Unique beach worth checking out if you are in the area. Otherwise it is just a beach.

Joseph Gray

I love coming here for acrobatics, but it’s a great spot in general. Come for the people watching if nothing else.

Photo Larry

It's a great park with rings and apparatus for exercise. There's also groups that do acrobatics on the lawn square

Alena Nekipelova

Magical Place!

Branko Kral

Calisthenics is one of my fave activities and I absolutely love this place. The amount and variety of bars and features is outstanding. People are super skilled, friendly, and helpful. The environment is beautiful.

Apollo Cherniak

I wish there was a muscle beach near Oceanside, CA

Bill Eckersley

The walk around Santa Monica Beach and Pier was a fun part of our trip.

Alice Ham

Really fun place. Could stay for hours just watching everyone do acro-yoga and play on the rings

Morgan S

Great place for a fun workout and to watch some very skilled and strong people do some amazing things.

David Norton

Best place to do acro with a great community.

Sambit Supriya Dash

We all friends went there at the time of Sunset, we swang there, the coldness that evening was bringing, we felt that. It was a lovely evening there. One must go there and can work out on core or can have a wonderful view of beautiful people exercising or moving.

Rhea Sunshine

This was a fun visit! You get to watch a bunch of people show off their skills. Everyone was friendly and encouraging. Great place to work out for free, meet some new people, and enjoy the so cal beaches!

Brett Atencio RN

Classic well maintained can't think of any negatives except that I don't live here:-) took the photo at 3 a.m. on Thursday

Rusty Wilson

If I were younger would have liked to try the rings.

Carlos C

Yes! Get here! This is my most favorite place in the planet. (From where I've been.) The weekends are especially fun. People doing acrobatics on the grass lawn. Some doing tight rope walking, it's actually called slack line, and if you ask they will let you try. Everyone is super friendly and supportive. There are rings, parallel bars, pull-up bar, balance beams, ropes to climb, swings, these huge monkey bars that are 6 feet apart, so you have to swing and throw your body over to the next, and of course, my personal favorite, the traveling rings. These are a set of rings, about 8 or 10, that are spaced by about 6 feet, so you need to swing like a monkey to get from one to the other. Tap into your primal instincts and enjoy the ride. The locals do twists and flips that display power and grace. There are sizes for both adults and for kids.

Karl Martin

Absolutely amazing. I'm a 19 year old athlete/fitness nut, but this place is perfect for everyone. I went on a Saturday afternoon, and while crowded, it wasn't too bad. The grassy area has couples doing yoga and acro, very cool just to watch. I hit up the climbing ropes next, which are about 30 feet high. I got all the way to the top, but if you don't want to go that high, there's no pressure. There is a kids area with smaller versions of the gymnastic rings and chin up bars. There are adult sized chin up bars everywhere too. The best part, though, are the adult rings. When I went, there was a group of locals about my age doing the rings. They were quite friendly, and loaned me some chalk for my hands. When they did it, it was like watching a dance, they were so graceful and seemed weightless. I tried it, and if you have decent upper body strength, it really feels like you're flying. In conclusion, though, this a great place for anyone athletic, or anyone who wants to try it, or anyone who just wants to watch. People are very friendly, there is no pressure or shame. Definitely a highlight of my trip.

Jennie Twitchell

Really fun beach with workout equipment, close parking only $15. Bring a shade.

Chris Mexas

Amazing place to come and observe the people in Los Angeles. Amazing place for a quick workout and inspiration from others. The view of the pier is breathtaking and beautiful .I don't really reccomend it for people who have smaller children, the board walk has become a bit harsh due to the nature of some of the homeless people.

Michael Minnick

What's not to like, cool gymnastics/other exercise area with an awesome backdrop.

Saurabh Limaye

Cool place to stroll by the beach and people watch!

Benjamin Ruys

Great place to workout and meet like minded people and to challenge yourself.

Jeff Duck

Super fun and encouraging atmosphere for all. If you're a jacked up muscle man/woman you'll have a bunch of fellow swolemates to hang out with. If you're new to fitness, you'll have a ton of experienced people around happy to show you the ropes.

Ricardo Bodkin

I love the simple, yet thought out equipment laid out. The spongy feeting is also thoughtful and almost makes me want to spring into an exercise or jump around. If I lived around here, I'd come here all the time to look and feel like the locals! Really cool layout right next to Santa Monica Pier.

Monica Santos

Great place!

Rana Emad

Super chill. Clean. The area with all the swings and stuff is really cool and fun. The ocean is in front of you while the pier is to your right. Once you’re done with the peer, relaxing on muscle beach is the way to go 👍 …

Devon Rowland

Great place to have fun

Rory Anderson

Great place to exercise or watch others do their tricks

Jodie Eade

Great poeple watching and then sunset brings out the crazies

Klay Newman

This is a lot of fun! The rings are highly recommended. This is a place you can go to feel like a kid again, or get in a quick workout while you're enjoying a leisurely afternoon.

Marciniak Krzysztof

If you like working out, must visit place

hugo lopez

If you like to be active check this place out. It's a play area for adults. Giant monkey bars but it's rings tied to a rope. I saw multiple people eat it hard and done did some cool tricks. Of course the locals are very good and helpful with tips. Clim rope? Well you have different sizes to try. There is also an area for people to practice very cool yoga/dance. Or contortionist moves i guess. I just know they did some impressive stuff normally I just see on tv. A few Looneys walking around and yelling also provided some laughs.

Kevin Akman

It's really the best free gym. It has everything from bars to ropes to beams to grass. Like calisthenics? Great, you'll have a blast! Like gymnastics? No problem! Like parkour and free running? You've got mini walls next to sand! Like tricking? Go visit the grass spot! Like acroyoga? You probably already know this spot.

Brent Stratton

A super fun beach. Set up with climbing ropes, rings and lots of poles for slack lines. It makes for lots of extra beach fun on a day when it it too cold to get in the water. Public restrooms and places to change/shower give it everything you need.

Nasser Al-Ahmadi

Top landmark in Santa Monica .. But nothing really special .. Just stop by to see, if you are around !!

Gary Bohringer

Super entertaining and fun to watch. The beach aint too bad either.

J Gerard

Home away from home Lots and lots of fun crowds are friendly. Frontier private bathroom stalls and Sanchez hours available here lots of equipment for both young and old do either stay fit or just play

Lindsay Gregory

Cool place to test out your abilities.

Charity David

Beautiful weather, beautiful view. The water was definitely cold but still fun to play in. You could pass the day by searching for sea shells, walking along the beach, exploring the beach towns, or even just laying in the sun.

Rosario Dowling

Great time rolling around in the airballs!

Jason Harrold

Great place to people watch. theres always a number of gymnists here doing various practices. Lots of yoga and other happenings going on. Really cool to check out if you are here. always seems busy

M.E. Fry

This is an outdoor playground for adults. It's fun. Of course kids can come too, but the equipment is set for adult height.

Yakzilla 13

Awesome place to get a free workout.

Tyler Overton

Must see landmark, very clean and friendly. The acrobatics on the rings and self-erected acrobat slacklines were amazing (I was told they were acrobat gymnastic students, but they didn't look like students, some of the stunts were amazing!).

Jaret Schantz

Of course a wonderful iconic place to visit. There is more athletic things to do on Santa Monica original Muscle Beach then there is on Venice, Venice leans and tends to more of the Arts side. The entire area is managed well clean it's beaches and Sands are also the same clean and almost immaculate. Its downside of course the occasional methamphetamine tweakers. Unfortunately you'll find that all over the west coast but it is easy to overlook because as I said it's parks department there keeps it well kept. There is only but three to five free parking spaces in the entire area everything else is either meter or $15 for the whole day type thing. They'll do make sure you lock your cars and leave nothing I repeat nothing visible of any value even if you think it's not of any value put it away the Tweakers will get you.

Stacey Mitchell

This is the Original Muscle beach. There is also a muscle beach in Venice. This place was really neat with gymnastics looking equipment. A rope to climb. Rings to swing from one to the next. Swings with really high chains so you can swing super high. All the equipment here is also Jr sized for your little ones. There is also a chess park across the path with lots of chess boards to play on and a large, life size looking chess board painted on the ground. Very neat place.

Jay Ammon

The Santa Monica Original Muscle Beach is a great locale for tourists and locals alike. There are always small groups organized here practicing various athletic activities such as acro-yoga, rings, and string lines. There are plenty of restrooms. Muscle Beach sits alongside the boardwalk, where thousands of people might be seen passing by on any given day.

ERC CAR SERVICE

Cool place to relax and admire the view.

Diego Tamayo

I was in utter amazement and awe watching the acrobats, bodybuilders, and gymnasts doing their everyday workouts, it was as if I was watching American Ninja Warrior or even the Summer Olympics, but in person instead of on a screen. Fascinating!

Geovanni Padlla

A place were people work out

samuel woodland

The view was beautiful. The beach was clean. The people were friendly. It was reallly awesome to see all the people there doing amazing stuff. It was like watching the summer Olympics

Alex Joy

This is one of the most amazing spots to watch top athletes like gymnasts, calisthenics champions, acrobats, capoeira artists, breakdancers, yogis, slackliners and more gather and practice. There is almost always something impressive going down. If you are into that sort of thing, the space is open to all. If not, just watch from nearby benches.

Stefano Amato

People here is super fit. Nice to watch athletes train.... Incredible proofs of power, energy.... But I'm a fatty man... Felt a little bit inadequate. So I had a burger and a beer, and I felt good again ;-)

Kat Dg

Awesome activities, also yoga area.. swings, rings and even seen a tight rope out there! Good crowd, however it was not super busy!

Ben Miskie

Great place to do pull ups and swing on the rings. Love coming here. You can also just watch some amazingly fit people work out and do tricks and flips.

Sean Nickerson

Lots of fun. Great support from everyone.

Stephen Jabaut

Great people watching locale for masters of the rings, swings, yoga, gymnastics, slack-line, and more. Right on the beach, it's the original site for the birth of American fitness, and although the bodybuilders have moved down to Venice, this is where you'll find people who are truly fit.

Curtis Long

Also known as OMB, come here to find athletic individuals practicing gymnastic skills, acroyoga, slacklining, and more. There's a large community of regulars that are welcoming to outsiders. I love this place!

Rebeca Polo

Lotsa people working out in here!

David Reed

This place was started by a friend mentor of mine (Sam Calhoun) and a few of his friends many many years ago! Look him up! I'm always reminded of him whenever I go by there! Rest in piece my friend. I love u!

Samuel V Woodland

Clean, pristine, and filled with well oiled machines. I enjoyed the clean beaches, the overall condition of the beach equipment and amenities was prestine, and all of the olympic level athletes training was a viewing of its own.

Akash

Great atmosphere, full of people working out and doing acrobatic routines. This is also the quieter side (beach) of the Santa Monica Pier as the other side is quite busy.

Nik Castle

the community around this place is what really makes it the best. Go, find some equipment you want to play on, and learn something new! the regulars will happily teach you.

MARGO ALISON

Love this place , vibes are amazing, with a lot of pure positive energy !!! Smiling faces, motivated people, perfect place to play with camera, as well! Lightening is always great!

my Cheung

Actually, my photos are the view of Santa Monica beach, not only nearby Original Muscle Beach, walking down will hv Venice Beach, also has another muscle beach. Love here, sand is soft, sky is clear, and vibes is relaxing.

Paul Davis

Over crowded bum beach. Quick walk and done.

Gigi

Such a fun place tl hang out and have fun and play

Jason Florian

Completely Iconic, essentially a large fitness playground where all are welcome to give everything a try. Locals and visitors alike seem friendly and willing to help out / join in.

AAR MEDIA

Perfect place to watch the sunset. The Ferris wheel lights up and you will be hard pressed to ever see another sunset in the city as beautiful.

Rogue

Santa Monica doesn’t disappoint!! 🙌 …

Brian Dillard

Excellent spot to stop by on your way to and from the pier. A large playground area, and plenty of bathrooms. There's also Hot Dog on a Stick, which is I think, the first one ever.

Cheng Yu Huan

It’s the most amazing beach I’ve seen. Enjoy the sunshine and workout

Michael Masters

Pretty fun and surprising "playground" we stumbled into on our beach walk

D geez

This park is amazing, the rails you can walk on a balance thru are so fun, the ropes to climb, swings everything here was so much fun, was here at night so had everyting to myself. Cant wait to come back

Willis Chen

Original muscle beach is open & free for all families to play & stay healthy. There are many copies but only 1 original. I love Santa Monica my home.

Fay Reyes

On the east coast, we don't have anything comparable! Location is fantastic, the vibe is fantastic, and the equipment is fantastic!

Daniel Sarmiento

Lots of equipment to do a great variety of exercises with. Great place for kids to play and nice place for athletic adults to show off their strength.

Alex Craig

Beautiful beach with awesome veiws

Jay Burke

A great place to people watch and sweat out some jet lag

minaj2003

Great views of the ocean from the dock!

Youssy

That’s an attraction for itself with all the acrobats who practice there and do crazy performances

Walter Alvarez

Beutyful place to visit with family

Michael Burns

One of a kind place in the world. Arnold Schwarzenegger lifted weights HERE where the sign is NOT where muscle beach is now in Venice with modern accessories. Here was iron only.

Laura Plaza

So much fun!

Christine Davis

A relaxing place get some fresh air

Arthur Bartholomew

Incredible views, great beaches & amazing sunsets... Just beware all of the meth heads that steal bikes during the night & sleep in tents during the day

EVEN BALINCE

I spend a lot of time there and I don't think I'll ever get tired of it. I rent fat Tire scooters right there at the green grass come on down and give us a visit

Kenyatta Moon

GO .... ENJOY .... EAT, SHOP, WALK THE BOARDWALK, RENT SKATES, A BIKE, MAYBE A SCOOTER AND ROLL. TAKE IN THE SIGHTS AND WATCH THE PERFORMERS. THERE IS A SKATEBOARD PARK AS WELL FOR THE KIDDIES. ENJOY. HAVE A FANTABULOUZZZ BLAZZZAZZZ !!!

Krishna Somandepalli

I go here sometimes on weekend to workout on the bars - a change of scenery from my gym and it's very refreshing.

thatscentsylife

Just a historical site great for people watching if you're not into working out but if you are into working out it's a great area to use the old rings

Ben Jams

Smaller than I imagined, but cool nonetheless. Not many people working out when I was there... Was hoping for something impressive.

Ben Garnet

A fun place to go with friends or family. Many opportunities for taking photos because it's such a beautiful area

Clever Stephens

Fun place! Great spot for acro yoga, gymnastics, and all sorts of acrobatics

Julia Isaeva

Perfect place for sport activities

Jesse Bustamante

Super fun. All kinds of yoga and acro practitioners come out on Sunday to do their thing.

eniemeier72

Needs some love. Lots of rusty benches

Abigail Lomingkit

Always one of my favorite places to people watch, I like to climb the ropes, best drum circles near by on Sundays

Kaitlin Penner (Bars)

We enjoyed the views, be forewarned there are a lot of homeless people here. They kept mostly to themselves.

Sarah Walker

On holiday from England and was so excited to visit this beach for this exact reason. Any fitness addict should go and try it out!! Amazing

Yvonne Johnson

I love this beach and so does my 10 year old son. He loves doing the rings and climbing the rope.

Chris Biden

On the east coast, we don't have anything comparable! Location is fantastic, the vibe is fantastic,

Great place to work out, and enjoy the sand and sun. As long as you don't mind music and a lot of other people working out with you

Robert van den Boom

Who doesn't know muscle beach? It's a lovely place where people like to work out. Lovely view to the pier from here as well.

Jim Garvin

Great place to do your calisthenics!

sabrina menabò

A lot of fun, especially for those with no muscles.. TRY to do those exercises is even funnier than being able to do them

satatay23

The original muscle beach has a lot of people who really enjoy what they are doing and are gracious enough to help those that are eager to try calisthenics.

Guadalupe Hiracheta

Absolutely love this beach, I wish my local beach had at least half of the equipment this one has, so awesome.

エスコバーカルロス

Great locations to hangout with friends and family... don't hesitate to come and have fun here.

Michael Maresco

Awesome place to watch people practicing gymnastics and slack line acrobatics... Was on business nearby and enjoyed sunsets at this location

jc gm

The best of L.A., a real spectacle to see people of all classes practicing all kinds of acrobatics, there should be a place like this in every city.

Adam D'Ambra (RAD-CON LLC)

Absolutely the best place to work out. You will always have equipment that you probably won't find any other location.

Ahmed Razin

It was good to finally see this place , unfortunately it was shut down for renovations. Definitely going next year.

Great for people watching but it can get a little sketchy at times. Junkies and homeless folks are very present.

Dr Nathan Schramm

Lots of exercise space with pull up bars, rings, 40ft rope climb, etc. Also, has several night time volleyball courts.

J S

There isn't much left of what is used to be but a sign and a few poles. It is cool. The new one is pretty cool.

My first time to see North Pacific Ocean. It worths a walk down to see such beautiful views and feel the wind blowing through the hair.

Best outdoor gym in the world bar none. Especially ropes!
