Our Story
It's been 40 years and we're still going strong.
A little history...
Leisuredome Gym has become an icon in Beverly Hills, since we opened our doors in 1985. Management has changed hands just 3 times since then, with current owner Natural Bodybuilding PRO Sasho Ognenovski very excited to continue opening the doors to hundreds of happy members every week.
We've always been known as that “Old School” gym with that friendly, caring, old school service to match.
We've retained that retro feel of the gym, with older equipment and our members absolutely love that. Many have even told us this adds to “The Dome's” character and charm. Leisuredome has never lost that sense of community and camaraderie among its loyal members and is a big reason why they stick with us.
Our Values
Learn about what we stand for.
The Leisuredome Ethos
We are firm believers that weight training is immensely beneficial to your physical and mental health. This is why we aim to educate our clients in what works best for them.
At the same time, we deeply pride ourselves in our unwavering belief that positive life-changing body transformations can be achieved naturally, meaning without the use of performance-enhancing drugs.
We are not another “big box gym”, fitness/wellness centre, or health club — and we like it that way. Our members are not just another number that make the turnstiles click. They are like our family and everyone is made to feel at home and welcome.
If you need help in the gym, we're here for you. We care about your results and we want to see you WIN!
Our Team
Highly skilled. Highly qualified. Highly committed to your success.
