OUR PHILOSOPHY
You need the right program and the right people in your corner to guarantee results that last, and Pharos was built to get the best out of you. Through our smart programming that prioritizes Mechanics, Strength + Conditioning, our kick-ass coaching that feels like personal training in a fun group environment, and our beautifully curated space + equipment, we've cracked the code on enjoying a high performance life without dogma or restriction.
STRENGTH
Strength training is not just for the meatheads. Lifting weights increases your metabolism which burns fat faster than cardio alone. Our programs will help you establish a fundamental base of muscle, longterm joint health and a roaring metabolism that will help you get (and keep) the results you’re after.
CONDITIONING
Whether your goal is fat loss, high-level fitness or longterm heart health, we have you covered. Expect to sweat, breathe and get in the best shape of your life with interval weight training, sports specific conditioning, and endurance and sprint drills.
MECHANICS
Train to avoid pain with our low impact programs built to assess, address and repair your unique mobility needs. Expect intrinsic core activation, breathwork, mobility drills, soft tissue work + restorative stretching so you can stop injury before it starts and maximize your limitless potential.

Our Roots
In 2017, owners Emylee Covell, Pieter Vodden and Katherine Haker set out to build the best fitness experience in Los Angeles. With a decade+ in the fitness industry training celebrities, athletes, and everyone in between, they had a big vision to take every great fitness practice, put it under one roof and create a new standard of excellence for the industry. Pharos has since gained prominence all over Southern California, serving Echo Park, Idyllwild, Redondo Beach and now Palm Springs.
Our Purpose
Pharos is a fitness collective for those who want results that last. We inspire action and foster community by providing a great fitness experience for every body.
Group Classes
Taught by top-tier coaches with a whole lotta heart, our programs are like getting personal training in a fun group environment and will inspire you to reach farther, push harder, and get in the best shape of your life.
Open Gym
For independent workouts, our Open Gym spaces are designed with carefully selected strength machines, cardio machines, free weights, and more to keep you engaged.
Personal Training
Get accountability with a coach matched to your specific goals and schedule. Whether you're new to fitness, training for a competition, looking for a new skill, or just prefer 1:1 coaching, our experienced coaches can help.
