I LOVE Lyfe Fitness!…read more This place is not like any other gym I've been to. Jess, the owner, is amazing! She has a passion for fitness and helping others achieve their goals. I have to say Jess is motivating and a positive coach; her words during the workout inspire you to push harder and believe in yourself a little more. Since joining in 2018, my body has transformed--I've gotten leaner and stronger. I've been a member of many fitness studios/gyms before and never got the results I wanted. Now I look forward to challenging workout! I am so thankful I found Jess at Lyfe Fitness. She truly has changed my lifestyle.

I came to Crossfit Santa Ynez Valley on a whim, having never stepped foot in a facility like this,…read morewanting to step out of my comfort zone. I had no idea the impact it would have on my life. Owner and head trainer, Gio Murru is an extremely knowledgeable, patient, kind and respectful human being. Having had 3 previous knee surgeries, overweight and deconditioned, Gio has taught me that any exercise or movement can be tailored/modified to my needs while still allowing room for growth and improvement. At only 5 months in, my knee (s) feel stronger than ever (even when active in cross country/track & field) and I am overall an improved version of me. Each workout and time spent at the box provides a powerful way for me to actively participate in my own health care and recovery while minimizing pain and having FUN! Forever grateful to Gio Murru and Crossfit Santa Ynez Valley.

I recently discovered that the same parent company owns FS8 and F45 training. FS8, which is a blend…read moreof Pilates/yoga/tone in Thousand Oaks (which opened up early Feb of this year), definitely kicked my butt, so I decided to see what f45 offered. F45 is a cardio/resistance training blend. For an intro offer of $25 for 5 classes, I decided to see if this place would kick my butt, too. I met one of the instructors, Cara, who was very helpful and showed me around the place. There's a Pilates class in the back room and a sauna that you can use if you join for the F45 membership, plus an extra fee. Cara explained that the screens would show the movements we were to mirror, but she also told me to go at my own pace and helped me with my form during several of the stations. I went around the room 3 times (15 minutes total, 45 seconds at each station plus 15 seconds to transition to the next station) to get in a very sweaty 45-minute workout. I used to think I was in decent shape. F45 training laughed in my face as I prayed for the 45-second exercise to end, so I could transition to another 45-second exercise that I also wished were over. Somehow, I made it through the workout, humbled. This place is high energy and definitely challenges you mentally and physically. I look forward to continuing my F45 training journey!

There are two main reasons why I give F45 Training a Five Star rating…read more The first reason: these workouts aren't boring. That's super important because most exercise bores me. And if it's boring, I'm not going to want to do it. But that's never an issue at F45. I've found every session to be different enough that I never get bored. The classes are really well-designed. You know when you sign up what the focus of your class will be. There are usually 10 stations that you complete in 45 minutes, but the exercises at each station are different every class. Each station has two different exercises, typically one for the upper body, one for the lower body. You can choose to do either or both. The second, and most important, reason I give this gym a Five Star Rating is the trainers that work here. Especially the early morning staff, Josie, Lauren and Sarah. There are usually at least two trainers working every class. They continuously circulate around the room, so you never have to wait long for one to come by and check to see if your form is correct or if you need a modification. If you have difficulty doing an exercise, a trainer will instantly modify it or give you an alternative exercise. And that's another reason F45 gets 5 stars from me. See, I can actually do very few of the exercises as demonstrated. I need modifications at almost every station. But I know that in less than a minute a trainer will pass by and quickly modify the activity into something I can actually do. So, I always get a great workout here. F45 Training really is a great place to workout. The trainers that work here are incredibly supportive. There is a really positive, high energy, vibe here. Sessions often end with people high-fiving each other. I love that! Mikey C says: I highly recommend F45 Training!

Colleen is amazing...knowledgeable, understanding, progressive, encouraging and able to get results in a seemingly short time. It is something I hope we're able to continue for as long as possible. It's made a world of difference not just physically but mentally as well. Colleen changes things up each session so it always feels a little different and challenging. Very adaptable to her clients needs.

I trained with Matt for several years before moving to the East Coast seven years ago. While…read morerecently visiting California, I had the opportunity to participate in the Friday conditioning class, and it did not disappoint. ​Matt is still incredibly engaged with the class, expertly motivating the group while providing the individual attention each participant needs. The best part is that the strong family atmosphere I have always appreciated and enjoyed is still present--a direct result of the positive culture Matt has prioritized building over the years. ​So, if you're looking for a top-notch strength and conditioning program that produces results and fosters a community where members truly encourage and motivate each other, I highly encourage you to check it out!

Cozmosize Fitness has truly flourished since moving to their new location on Railroad Avenue. The…read morespacious facility has transformed into the perfect environment to get stronger, better, and leaner while working toward your fitness goals. I was first introduced to Matthew Cather by my 17-year-old son 11 years ago, and at the time, I thought it was the toughest workout I had ever attempted. I started training with Matthew twice a week, and now I train five times a week--growing not just physically stronger but also mentally resilient. As a 52-year-old, I firmly believe that the key to longevity is a combination of weight training, strength, mobility, and conditioning--all of which are seamlessly incorporated into our program at Cozmosize. The dedication, expertise, and sense of community here make every session both challenging and rewarding. I feel truly blessed to be part of the Cozmo family, and I highly recommend this gym to anyone looking to elevate their fitness journey!

Liked the trainers, didn't like that I couldn't see what muscle group we were working before…read moresigning up for the class. I supplemented my workouts at home with the classes, sometimes I was doing the same muscle groups twice. Also, since the classes are all time driven, it's really difficult to get a good lift in. A lot more cardio based. Great if that's what you want of course. Location made it hard to find parking sometimes in the evening. Small classes usually, so I liked that. Just make sure you get a copy of your contract. I didn't and I definitely paid for it in the end.

They don't care about fitness, safety, or their clientele. Only 2 group fitness instructors are…read moregood there. Others are hired with no experience or physical fitness education (just like the owner). Owner is neither educated in fitness, nor does she care about injuries sustained here. But I will tell you what they very clearly do care about: MONEY, MONEY, MONEY, MONEY! I was a member for several months and paid a large sum of money to join a challenge that her location had put on. (She owns three F45 locations). Little did I know that it was all a stunt to have us be Guinea pigs for an app they were trying to launch. The app, which kept recommending that I eat 100x more protein than I normally do (and which is neither healthy, nor what medically trained nutritionists recommend for my age / weight / height) was designed to build heavy bulky muscle and NOT AT ALL THE BODY OR GOALS I wanted for myself. I wanted to lose weight and return to my lithe, lean, long body -- I have no interest in looking like a stocky body builder. I was, by far, the person who lost the most weight (25 lbs) and did so by eating a sensible diet, listening to the cues of my body, and NOT overloading on protein and fat like the app kept telling me to do. But I lost the challenge because...apparently weight loss wasn't the goal; the actual goal of the challenge was for the owner to get more money but to actually have customers **voluntarily sign up and pay for the privilege of being her guinea pigs!*** It was an attempt for the app owners to see the impact of the suggesting folks heavily ramp up protein/fat consumption. The winner of the challenge wasn't someone who lost weight or even gained muscle mass. It was the idiot who stated (and clearly lied) that he actually did eat the ridiculous amount of protein the app suggested on a daily, meal by meal basis. He won without any weight loss or serious muscle development. False advertising, total waste of time, and then AFTER the winner was announced, they mentioned for THE FIRST TIME that weight loss wasn't the goal.

Filthy and inexperienced trainers and owner is only out for herself. Having been a trainer myself,…read moreI've worked in many gyms and have also trained at this location prior to Barb taking over. It's been nothing but downhill. I began working out here again and found that the floor was consistently filthy! It clearly wasn't cleaned daily and since many of the classes you spend on the floor, I was disgusted. After a few sessions I shared my concern with one of the trainers and asked her to pass the message onto the owner. There was no response. Then wrote an email to the owner to discuss my concerns about the cleanliness of the facility. Instead of discussing it with me, I arrived at my next session only to have the trainer pull me aside to tell me that the owner had TERMINATED my membership and they kicked me out. No phone call, no discussion. I emailed her asking her to discuss this. No response, coward. Even though she refunded my money she continued to charge me the next month for $195. Don't support owners that care about you but are only after your money.
