Use to really enjoy this gym but its not what it use to be…read more Firstly, they almost always have a busted machine or something out of order. Stair stepper never works, neither of the ellipticals worked last time, only one out of 3 treadmills works properly. The other 2 don't incline. Maybe you should invest in new equipment? I come in with a day pass when we are in town and have noticed for the past year at least that the tile is coming up on the carpet in the weight room. Are you ever going to fix it??? Or are you going to wait til someone trips over it with weights and gets seriously injured? I Will never come back here and am shocked they still have members when they're obviously not getting their money worth with working equipment and a safe workout room.

Since the other gyms in the area are closed on Sunday I thought I would come check out Bodytek…read more Glad I did. This is probably the nicest, newest and cleanest gym in the area. And its only $10.00 for a day pass! If you need a gym for a few days to work out at and are coming from out of town I would definitely choose this place. Or if I lived here in Big Bear this is where I would join! Their rates are very good here. They have everything you need except for a legit free weight bench press. But they do have two squat racks you can easily convert into a bench since they do have a good amount of flat bench dumbbell benches. Good amount of cable machines. WHAT MAKES THIS GYM TOTALLY LEGIT AND SUPER COOL: The Aerobics Room. However I wouldn't call it that since it sounds too 1980's Richard Simmons like. But rather the room of Pain and Gain because thats what this room is all about if its used correctly. This room is a gold mine. I used to train with Jake Shields and Gil Melendez at Fairtex for 8 years and this is all these MMA fighters used to do: Battle Ropes, Tires, Kettle Bell exercises, Heavy Bag Muy Thai, Core Strengthening, Jump HIIT training, etc.. Its ALL about HIIT training. Although its good for you, you won't get shredded doing moderate steady cardio. You gotta do HIIT. If I lived here I would be in this room 6 days a week. Even where I work out at in OC at Golds Gym and 24 Hour Fitness we don't have a room like this. Forget the treadmills! Get in this room! 8 one-minute rounds of battle ropes hard core all out as hard as you can (30 seconds rest between rounds) is better than one hour steady state on the treadmill. And those monkey bars. My upper body was on fire after doing a few rounds of that!

From day one, he took the time to understand my goals, assess my fitness level, and create a customized plan that was both challenging and motivating. Greg's knowledge of fitness, nutrition, and overall wellness is truly impressive, and he explains everything in a way that's easy to understand and apply. What really sets Greg apart is his energy and dedication. He pushes you to do your best without ever making you feel overwhelmed, and he genuinely celebrates your progress along the way. Whether it's strength training, cardio, flexibility, or recovery, Greg brings a positive attitude and a strategic plan to every session. Thanks to his guidance, I feel stronger, healthier, and more confident than I ever have. I can't recommend Greg enough to anyone looking to transform their fitness journey with a trainer who truly cares about your success.

Give me a break, the owner never returns a call, no one is even there during the day, mirrors and duck taped all over from cracks, intimidating post it signs are placed all over stating how to face the mirror, YOU ARE ON CAMERA in almost every other machine and if you don't put the weights back precisely the way they were, she will cancel your membership. If there were a communist gym, this would take the cake. The owner just texts you, never talking to you. Absolutely no pride taken in how the gym looks, none. I wouldn't take my dog in there.

The only thing she was really good about was leaving signs to tell the members to re-rack weights, dont move the equipment, etc... When this was brought to her attention regarding g the shape of her gym she had the nerve to blame the pandemic. There are so many better gyms than this one.

I have been to many studios and have worked with many teachers. I love Big Bear Pilates and Siri D. First of all Big Bear Pilates is the best studio I have ever worked in. Bright, open, and with a terrific selection of top quality equipment. Siri D deserves credit for having the cleanest studio I have ever seen. . I love it!! Siri is a terrific teacher. She is very knowledgeable about Pilates. Something that I find very unique about her is that she has an instinct for how hard to push you in a workout. My biggest objection to other teachers has been that their workouts were either too easy or too hard. Siri pays attention, and pushes you as hard as you need to go at that moment, as opposed to running you through a generic series of exercises. A great Pilates Studio!!

How many times/ways does a woman have to ask someone to stop before they'll stop?…read more The owner has chosen to shame the woman's reaction to being touched aggressively/non-Pilates, instead of choosing to rectify the situation entirely with humility. The owner has chosen to shame my fiance's in proportion response to me being aggressed, instead of reprimanding the actual aggressor (her employee). I've been going to Pilates reformer classes since I was 13 (I'm now 34) and have NEVER had this experience. I showed up for the empty class 2 minutes late. Firstly, before class began, I informed the owner and instructor about my existing sore ankles after a recent fall (in writing in their intake forms as well as verbally). No broken bones, no bruising, just sore. A normal, professionally run class would not have affected my ankles poorly. The abnormal, unprofessional class I received did affect my ankles poorly. The instructor, Vil, secondly did not lead me through a foot and ankle warm up as is traditional to Pilates reformer. He STARTED me in with jump board changements, which is a maniacal decision for any reformer class setting. That should have been my cue to leave. Class began, and I then had to ask Vil to repeatedly avoid the sore ankle areas when giving his style of "adjustments and corrections" that were continuous, unwarranted, too invasive for a 1st class meeting, and I was the only non-staff taking part in the class- receiving all of the brunt of his "style" of corrections. I believe Vil chose to take out some "empty studio summertime boredom" on my body and did not stop twisting and forcing placements on my body the whole time. I nervously went along with as much as I could stand until it became too painful and uncomfortable. The non-stop adjustments I received were given without consistent consent language, and were given with an extremely heavy hand. It was painful, over the top, and abrasive to say the least- Causing my nervous system to go into fight/flight mode. Not AT ALL Pilates etiquette. I HAVE NEVER BEEN TOUCHED SO AGGRESSIVELY IN PILATES EVER. It is so rare when I've been touched in reformer classes at all. The instructor typically uses words to describe body placements, or an extremely soft hand with over the top consent language when physically adjusting. I repeatedly asked him to stop touching my ankles once he started in on them. I first brought it to his attention by saying "please mind my ankles", after he had grabbed and adjusted them into a position he could have described with words instead of touching me. Moments later he readjusted my ankles with excessive force again and I said "hey, please remember, my ankles". The studio owner then acknowledged my concern with a wince and an apology, and we continued on with the class. He did it again with the same force and I said "if you touch me like that one more time, we're going to have a problem". He said sorry, then moments later DID IT AGAIN and abrasively grabbed my ankles and twisted them into a position. I flew off of the reformer and backed away, horrified by the experience and confused at how he could not and would not hear my requests, then demands to stop hurting my ankles. He used non-Pilates etiquette from start to finish. Throughout the class, he also made degrading and insulting remarks about my body including remarks about "being too young to have a double chin", "not looking like a ballerina anymore", and was overall abrasive in his tone with me making comments like that of a wanna-be ballet director talking down to a dancer- not a Pilates instructor coaching a paying customer through a normal class. The instructor, upon hearing of my ballet background, chose to run the almost private class in the "old school" way that the owner and instructor later stated was totally OK to do despite me voicing clear discomfort/concern, while being alone in the studio with them. Very uncomfortable. The owner witnessed and acknowledged the instructor's conduct, yet instead of taking my concerns seriously, attempted to offer me complimentary sessions, minimized the seriousness of what had occurred, and dismissed my concerns about the instructor's behavior and lack of professionalism. Both stated that the instructor is just "old school" and there was nothing wrong with that. Well, I'm a "new school" 34 year old psychotherapist who doesn't tolerate disrespect, comments about bodies, aggressive touching, and consent being ignored while being hurt in a class I'm paying for. No one should leave a class feeling humiliated, dismissed, and unsafe. The way this situation was handled was deeply concerning, and I have reported the incident. The owner doubled down on her support of the instructor's egregious conduct: it is clear she is perfectly OK with instructors at her studio being forceful, abrasive, and not using Pilates etiquette. Based on my experience, I cannot recommend this business to anyone.
