    New to working with a barbell? Learn proper technique and form here, allowing you to maximize potential while but also preventing injury.
    Amber H.

    I've been with Body Fit Training (BFT) since they opened in January 2024. I am pretty inexperienced when it comes to weightlifting and have been working really hard over the last couple of years to develop and maintain healthy, well-balanced habits that can last a lifetime. Body Fit Training is helping me to achieve and sustain those long-term goals! This is not a cookie-cutter group fitness environment! Mix the energy and spirit of a team that moves and works together and combine that with personal coaching by bringing in multiple coaches to each class. Time and attention given to each participant, education on proper technique with individual modifications makes this environment suitable for all ages and abilities, including the complete beginner to a well-seasoned weightlifter looking to break beyond plateaus. BFT promotes true balance in the body, using a program that progresses over many weeks, with functional strength training on some days, heart-pumping cardio on alternate days, and sometimes mixing the two together. This format allows the member to stay completely engaged, as often as they want, but incorporates rest and recovery - an essential component that most traditional group fitness environments are lacking. Give it a try, watch your body and mind transform, and prepare yourself for growth!

    I really want to like Bay Club because the potential is obvious, but the execution is…read moredisappointing. I used to go to Life Time, and the difference is night and day. It honestly doesn't take much to make a gym great, but Bay Club feels stuck in the past. The men's locker room is gross and smells. There's a persistent musky odor that's hard to stomach, likely coming from old carpet that's clearly been there for years. The men's showers are equally bad, with hair everywhere, inconsistent cleanliness, and low water pressure, which makes the entire experience feel unhygienic and poorly maintained. The men's sauna is especially concerning. There appears to be little to no ventilation, creating a heavy, stagnant environment that can allow dangerous CO buildup. On top of that, the walls and benches in the sauna are extremely outdated, reinforcing the sense that this space hasn't been refreshed or properly maintained in a long time. The products provided (shampoo, conditioner, etc.) are low quality and full of questionable ingredients, which feels completely out of place for a club charging premium prices. The weight room is constantly messy, with plates scattered everywhere and mismatched equipment. It feels chaotic instead of intentional. The outdoor gym is another huge missed opportunity. With the space and climate, it could be incredible, but instead it feels underdeveloped and outdated. Overall, everything just feels old and complacent. There's so much opportunity here, yet it seems like no one is pushing to raise the standard. After experiencing what a well-run gym can be, this falls short. I'll probably be canceling soon unless major improvements are made

    I've been going to Sweat Circuit for over two years now, and I can honestly say it's one of the…read morebest things I've ever done for myself. Somewhere along the way it stopped feeling like a gym and started feeling like home. This is the most inclusive space I've ever been a part of. Every age, every fitness level, every person is welcomed with open arms. It's the kind of place where people know your name, celebrate your wins, and make you want to keep showing up. The gym is always immaculate, the music always hits, and I've never felt stronger in my life. Every single coach has poured so much knowledge into me, not just about working out, but about how to fuel my body, build muscle, and become stronger in a way that lasts. They genuinely care, and it shows. Jamie and Damien are the heart of this place. They've created something really, really special. They have this incredible way of making every person who walks through the door feel seen, welcomed, and like they've been part of the family all along. I'm so thankful this place found its way into my life. I love my Sweat Circuit fam with my whole heart, and I couldn't recommend it more. 10/10. Get in there today. You won't regret it!

    These Orange studios are everywhere now, and behind those glowing doors people are running, rowing,…read moreand grinding through burpees like their lives depend on it. Carmel Valley is a solid, well maintained location with the familiar OTF rhythm: clean space, organized floor, and that corporate template that keeps everything predictable no matter where you drop in. Parking is surprisingly abundant for this area. The only odd thing is that the prime spots right in front are labeled 30 minute parking even though every class is a full hour. It's a small detail, but it jumps out every time you pull in. Classes here fill up fast. And I mean fast. Waitlists are the norm, and I've been turned away more than once. If you're not booking early, you're rolling the dice. As for coaching, I haven't found a standout yet at this location. Everyone is competent and friendly, but the coaching style stays pretty homogenous thanks to the tight OTF corporate structure. If you're looking for consistency, you'll get it. If you're looking for a coach who completely changes your game, I haven't met that person here. Overall, it's a clean, reliable studio that delivers exactly what OTF promises: heart rate monitors, clear metrics, and a workout where you're competing against yourself in the best way.

I signed up a month ago, and from the very beginning I had various issues with my heart rate monitor. It felt like all the different girls at the reception kept giving me the runaround and I was getting frustrated having to use a loaner every time and hearing different answers from different people. Finally, I was able to meet with the manager, Amelia, and she really turned around my whole experience. She immediately fixed all my issues without me even having to ask, which I really appreciated. Ever since then, I'm a happy member! I have the unlimited membership and go about 4-5 times a week. I love all the classes and all the coaches! I never thought I'd enjoy a treadmill workout, but I even take the Tread50 classes once a week and they're a lot of fun!

    I've been training with Jaclyn for over a year and a half, usually three times per week, and she…read morehas become one of the most consistent and impactful forces in my life. I've had trainers before, but this is by far the best training experience I've had, and I can say I've made a friend for life. Jaclyn is an excellent trainer: knowledgeable, intuitive, and thoughtful in how she programs our sessions. She focuses on sustainable progress, keeps things grounded and concentrates effort on movement that provides results rather than flashy moves. She communicates clearly and encourages feedback. She is firm without ever being aggressive, which I genuinely appreciate. Most importantly, she's never judgmental, which I have found is a rare trait in a trainer, especially a supremely fit one like her. She meets you exactly where you are, and knows when to push, when to listen, and when to shift gears so you walk away feeling stronger--not just physically, but emotionally and mentally too. Which brings me to my second point: what makes Jaclyn stand out from the field is who she is as a human being: joyful, kind, warm, wise, grounded, and genuinely invested in her clients' well-being. She is not only smart and sharp, but also spiritual, always keen on figuring out the lessons she can learn from every situation. She is incredibly humble and never puts the spotlight on herself, even when she could. And she listens well and brings great perspective to every conversation--I have never left a session not feeling better about life. I've grown stronger and leaner working with Jaclyn and I look forward to every session. I trust her and I'm so grateful she's in my life. If you're considering training, check if Jaclyn is available; she might just be exactly who you need.

    Sharing here from my other review for people like me who research a lot before jumping in! So…read morehappy I found Jaclyn!! :) If you are shy, introverted or intimidated by the gym atmosphere like me, then you should definitely work with Jaclyn!! She has great energy and at the same time, she will always meet you at your level, and maybe even bring you out of your shell little by little when you're ready. :) I'm on a hybrid program where I have a full program (like 4 workouts per week for 4 weeks) created by Jaclyn-- 3 of those days I work out at home on my Tonal, and 1 day I train with her in person at the gym. I come in on different days (like Day 1 this week, then Day 3 next week etc) so I can try all the moves with her in person. She is so attentive and always makes sure the exercise is safe for me! Whenever I have questions, she explains the technical details well and gives me simple cues which really helps me improve my form. The workouts are always challenging, but never to the point where I'm exhausted for the rest of the day. As for nutrition, she also has a macro guide and meal plan suggestion for me which is not meant to be strict at all! It's really just a guide to start making manageable switches here and there. I didn't really "give up" anything and Jaclyn actually encourages listening to your body, be it having a cookie or skipping a workout on a bad day. So simple but it makes so much sense!! In three months (Oct 2024 - Dec 2024), I was able to go down from XL/L to M!! (well, sometimes still L since commercial sizing is inconsistent haha). Realistically, my weight hasn't drastically changed, but the visible changes are really noticeable especially through clothes, measurements and pictures!! I was able to enjoy the holiday festivities without "holding back" because I knew I had a good foundation for my health. I still have those days where I worry if I "messed up" my progress the past week, but the next time I meet Jaclyn, she always calms my worries and reinforces that we have been putting in the work so I am good. Phew!! This has been the longest I've had healthy habits without being burned out at all, and that's really what it means to make sustainable healthy changes. All that to say, Jaclyn has been the best find and the best investment I made for myself in 2024!! Looking forward to this year as well!! I hope this helps and if you're still on the fence, please try to reach out to Jaclyn and see if it's a good match for you also! :)
