I absolutely LOVE this gym and have been going to gyms my whole life!…read more1) The customer service is absolutely epic. I am incredibly grateful to a staff that is professional, helpful, warm, friendly, accommodating, patient and genuinely seems happy to see me and all their members. 2) The 2-story location is spacious and clean with updated equipment, ample cardio machines, diverse classes and pool. Staff strives to add a personal touch with amenities like coffee, etc. and the trainers are skilled and friendly. 3) I am also a huge fan of the large open windows which offer healthy, circulating fresh air and beautiful views. Thank you Curl Fitness!

The past couple of months have seen positive changes. The environment is less chaotic, employees…read moreare friendlier and seem happier, and some of the dangerous equipment placements have been rectified. But what I'm really responding to here is caring management and a fantastic trainer. When I posted my original review the manager, Catherine, reached out immediately to hear my concerns. And instead of making excuses she asked me to give them time to make improvements, which I'm seeing happen in real time under her leadership. I've also been working with Kelty, a personal trainer. Not only am I seeing great results and learning new techniques, but he's just a good guy--evidenced by every third person who walks by saying, "Hey Kelty!" My expectation is that things will continue to improve.

I was a member here for a month while visiting family for the holidays and it was just an okay…read moreexperience. The positives: - the owner is very nice and accommodating for my unusual request of just a single month membership to keep up my fitness and boxing practice while visiting for a month. - some of the trainers were amazing (others not at all (more on that later). - I do enjoy the no set class times so you can just go whenever you're done with work or need to get to the gym "now" because your motivation may not last. - They seemed to do quite a bit of member events and socials outside of the gym (unsure if that's because it was the holiday season or if this typical year round). - When I had a trainer I liked, it was a pretty good workout and can see why some people enjoy 9Round. The negatives: - the trainer makes ALL the difference. I honestly wish I had explored more of who the other trainers would be during the week vs during the weekends. I started adjusting my work schedule to avoid trainers I didn't like... - If you don't like super loud music in a tiny space, this isn't for you. I'd leave with a headache most days because it was just too much. - This isn't a gym for people who need physical accommodations. Some trainers were better than others, but they definitely didn't enjoy the fact I didn't feel comfortable kicking given surgical metal in my ankle and so it hurt like a MoFo to do any of those moves. You also ALWAYS start in Round One with jump rope... that was brutal. - The class times are really bizarre. They're open in the morning for a bit, close for an hour, and then open again for 90 minutes and then are closed all the way until after work hours. It's weird they don't have a lunch time option given how quick and efficient the workout is. I wish I would have realized that before signing up. - They make you switch your stance all the time (fighter stance to non-dominate stance) and even within the same combo. While I get what they're trying to do (even out the effort on both sides), this lead to me pulling muscles because my form was so off when trying to be SouthPaw vs just staying in my fighter stance. Not to mention it's super confusing to think about it when you're already taxing your system with a hard workout. All in all, I see what people enjoy 9Round and are very loyal to it, but it just wasn't for me. I want more of a mix of weight lifting and cardio and this gym just doesn't offer that type of workout.

This is such a rad place to go to get your butt. The concept is really brilliant and I can't…read morerecommendit enough. It's a full body workout that takes 30 minutes. There's no class times so you can pop in literally whenever. There are 9 two minute rounds of various cardio kickboxing and strength exercises and theres always a trainer available to help you with your form and make sure you are pushing yourself to the limit! All of this while monitoring your heart rate to make sure you are doing so safely! Stephanie the owner is so sweet and has really put together a killer crew.

I originally transferred my disability insurance membership from this location to Kennedy club…read morefitness, but later returned because I had been banned from Kennedy Club Fitness in Paso Robles & the new curl fitness in arroyo grande. My main reason for transferring was the need for amenities that accommodate my physical disability and disabling health conditions. The staff here are always outstanding, welcoming, and helpful, which I truly appreciate. That said, the facility could benefit from swimming pools, hot tubs, infrared saunas, and better compression chairs to better serve members with physical disabilities. With those improvements, this would be an even more supportive and accommodating fitness environment.

This location has completely lost my trust. There was a…read moredisturbing incident where a man was arrested after recording nude women in the tanning rooms. After something that serious, you would expect management to take security and staffing seriously. Instead, they still seem to have only one employee working during the early morning hours (around 5:00-7:00 a.m.), which makes the gym feel inadequately supervised. What is equally frustrating is the lack of communication with members. Rather than addressing safety concerns head-on or explaining what changes were made to prevent something like this from happening again, management seems to have simply moved on. Then came the remodel. They removed several pieces of popular equipment, squeezed the remaining equipment closer together so parts of the gym now feel cramped and claustrophobic, while leaving large areas of empty, underutilized floor space. It somehow feels both crowded and empty at the same time. This used to be a gym I enjoyed, but between the apparent understaffing, the lack of transparency after a serious safety incident, and a remodel that made the layout significantly worse, I can no longer recommend this location. Members deserve to know that their safety is being taken seriously not just a fresh coat of paint and a new floor plan. I guess that's what you get with a gym owned by a franchise group (Flynn Group) that owns 140 plus PFs in 7 states. Corporate cowards concerned with profits only.

First time at this location in my community. Well, All the owner (Craig) wants is money!!…read moreHe refused to let me workout or do a drop in to his crossfit class unless i purchased a package with nutritional information and an on ramp class for several classes that equal more than $500. Who can really afford this? Even though I have done crossfit for years and even coached crossfit in the past in our local community which I explained to him. DO NOT GO TO THIS GYM! It does not emobodie the mission or focus of CrossFit and is obviously lacking inclusivity, community, or "fitness for all". I was not even allowed to drop in for payment. Shame. Very sad. Im suprised and actually disturbed by this experince. I do not recommend and upset that this is the crossfit experience offered to our local community

What set Crossfit Nipomo apart for me was the personal interest shown by the owner, Josh Golden,…read moreand the relax atmosphere. Eventually my wife also came and joined because, not only did Josh show personal interest in us but also in our son who at the time was only two. What has kept us going is the level of coaching Josh provides. He knows who needs that extra push and who needs to be held back a little for their own well being. I have made progress by leaps and bounds in strength and gymnastics. I highly recommend Crossfit Nipomo to those wanting to lose a few pounds, to those wanting to improve their quality of life and those seeking to take their Crossfit proficiency to a higher level.

After having an unplanned C section, I was suddenly completely disabled after having a healthy and…read morevery active pregnancy. After experiencing so much pain from recovery, working with Chelsea made me less afraid to exercise and made me feel strong and healthy again. She tailors our workouts to exactly where I am at and after several months, I am feeling so much better and like myself. With all the change that happens during and after pregnancy, it's so important to have a knowledgeable resource to guide you back to exercise. She also was so welcoming to my newborn son, who I was able to bring with me to our workouts while on maternity leave. She was genuinely interested in my birth story and my path to recovery. I cannot say enough good things about Chelsea. I am so grateful for her!! If you aren't feeling like yourself after birth or just want to start getting active again postpartum, she's such an amazing resource.
