Where Can I WORK?
16782 Hale Ave., Suite B, Irvine, CA 92606
Located just off Jamboree Rd. between Alton Pkwy and Barranca Pkwy in north Irvine, our original location is positioned conveniently in the heart of Orange County. Directly between the District at Tustin Legacy and Diamond Jamboree shopping centers, our full-service boutique fitness studio provides life-changing workouts easily accessible from Costa Mesa, Newport Beach, Huntington Beach, Tustin, Santa Ana, Anaheim, Lake Forest, Mission Viejo, Aliso Viejo, and Ladera Ranch.
A WORKout Unlike Any Other
We believe when people are at their best the world is literally a better place. So, we aspire to create the best workout experience anywhere. Since most bootcamps or fitness studios do total-body workouts everyday, people tend to get injured or burnout pretty quickly. WORK is different. We alternate the body parts and intensities we train each day so that you can exercise daily with confidence. No two WORKouts are the same, so it’s always fresh, and each month we change up our overall focus to keep you gaining progress and results.

What Our WORKforce Has to Say:
WORK Where You Are
Across the street from Whole Foods and Costco on Barranca Parkway and just northeast of H Mart and the Diamond Jamboree shopping center on Alton Parkway, WORK Irvine is centrally located near Orange County’s best shopping and attractions. Irvine Spectrum Center, John Wayne Airport, UCI, Fashion Island, and South Coast Plaza are all within 7 miles. That means WORK is convenient to all your favorite activities while out and about. Speaking of convenience, WORK is easy to get to from the 55 freeway via Dyer road, the 405 freeway from the MacArthur exit, or the 5 freeway off of Jamboree.

WORK With More
Our Irvine studio boasts a 4,000sf training room complete with over 22 different pieces of equipment. The more tools, the more creative we can be, so we pride ourselves on creating fun and exciting WORKout experiences you’ll never get bored of. The rest of our space was designed to feel like a home away from home. When you walk in, you’re greeted by name with a smile by one of our friendly Hospitality Team members. After checking in, you’ll walk through our retail shop where you can quench your hunger or thirst with bars, shakes and snacks; or add some new WORKmerch to your wardrobe. Past the shop, you’ll find men’s and women’s locker rooms with showers as well as a full suite of toiletry amenities, and towels available for purchase. Before and after the WORKout, make new friends as you relax in our comfy and inviting lounge.

Orange County Fitness
Orange County, CA has been a fitness hot-bed for decades. It seems like more than fast-food, there’s a gym, bootcamp, Crossfit, spin studio, yoga or Pilates class on every street corner. No doubt, those searching for a fitness facility or “gyms near me” will have no problem finding a slew of options. And while many of these fitness facilities may offer an effective workout, what most of them seem to lack is the personal touch. While WORK provides world-class HIIT workouts and circuit training in an upscale, boutique, fitness studio environment, what truly sets us apart is the community feel.
Southern California is world-renowned for its outdoor fitness options, and for good reason. With all the beautiful beaches, hiking and biking trails and local mountains nearby, you can get a great workout almost anywhere. That said, sometimes you need a comfortable environment to optimize your fitness training in and experienced professionals guiding you. WORK Irvine provides convenient access to world-class trainers that will help with all your weight loss, strength training, and health and fitness goals while welcoming you into a supportive environment to improve your life.
WORK Hard. WORK Fun. WORK Together.
Who We Are.
-
WORK was founded, built, and is operated by three local families who are simply looking to leave a positive mark in the world. Husband and wife couple, Dane and Kara Miklaus founded WORK in Southern California in 2015 when they were disappointed with all the other fitness options around. It wasn’t that gyms and bootcamps didn’t offer good workouts, it’s that they lacked the personal touch and care necessary in a relationship-based industry. It was this emphasis on personal relationships that made (and still makes) the original WORK location successful.
It was also this high-touch approach that led one of WORK’s devoted clients, Madison Russell, to ask Dane and Kara for a job in 2016. As a forensic accountant, Madison used fitness and exercise to de-stress from her emotionally demanding job. After working on a large divorce-settlement case, Madison had had enough of watching people’s lives get broken apart, and she wanted to participate more in the healing. She originally joined TeamWORK as a trainer, but quickly expressed aspirations of contributing at a deeper level. Madi went from one class on the schedule to becoming our most popular instructor. She would help other trainers with their playlists, organize team and community events, assist in content creation, and eventually helped co-write the WORK Training Manual. She is the consummate example of hard WORK, integrity, and devotion, and has become an irreplaceable part of the leadership team. She also happens to be the Godmother of Dane and Kara’s children.
Fast-forward to today and our team continues to evolve and grow. We strive always to run our business as the family-focused establishment we began with. We have an inclusive, people-first attitude, and strive always to make everyone feel welcome and believe what we do: that inside each and every one of us is a fierce, formidable, badass athlete!
