I started training with Mike about two months ago. Already I am stronger and running faster. I love…read moreworking with Mike because most of the exercises are not on machines but use my body weight and lots of balance. He sends me home each week with homework tailored to my schedule and my personal goals. Also, Mike is about as nice as they come. I never feel foolish or self conscious. He gets it and never makes me feel bad when I have a rough week. I totally recommend him!

I have been training with Mike Welch for over 2 years now. In that time, I've lost 65 lbs and gone…read morefrom a sedentary, junk food eating, smoker to an ex-smoker who loves to run and workout and hike and live life to the fullest. Mike himself went through a journey of weightloss of over 80 lbs or so and knows exactly where I was coming from. He's great at motivation and tailoring a program directly to you. I always say that I am his most difficult client (I'm pretty pig headed and push back all the time) but he's always able to get me to do what's right and good for my body without making me feel uncomfortable or silly. I cannot recommend him highly enough. Mike is ACSM certified and he's the best around.

I am one of Susannah's distance clients and have recently employed her services to help me get my…read moremeals back on track. I like to cook, but recently haven't been making the time to do so. We would then find ourselves hungry and without food in the fridge . . . which means we would eat out more than we should. I wanted to break this cycle, and Susannah was the perfect person to help me! Susannah worked with me to create a simple and realistic plan that will fit into my life. She helped me to realize that my "ideals" were too time-consuming and would ultimately be discouraging. She instead gave me lots of ideas for simple meals that are versatile, nutritious and affordable, and helped me to set goals that are achievable and sustainable. Susannah is: - supportive - realistic - understanding - motivating - caring - non-judgemental - fun! She is excited to help, and her positive energy is contageous. After my sessions with her, I feel like I come away with a plan that I'm actually excited to carry out. Thanks, Susannah!

Been working with Susannah for about seven months with my partner and we feel great! She's not only…read moregetting us in shape for our wedding, but teaching us how to be more health conscious food-wise. We do a range of strength and cardio with her during our sessions then she gives us "homework" workouts bookended with yoga and walking for the rest of the week. It's actually quite fun and she makes sure you're using the proper technique. She's a responsible trainer who will not push you to the breaking point that will potentially put you in danger of injury. Finally, she's very good with communication throughout the week to see how we are feeling, if we are sore, if we liked the new routines, etc.

Love this place! Matt and Stephanie couldn't be nicer people…read more. The equipment is always being cleaned and maintained, along with floor and wall scrubbing (mirrors) . I've been a member since 2008 at the other facility, and rejoined when they moved to Broadway in 2015. The taco truck in the parking lot has the best Mexican food in the area, a real treat after a long workout.

If I lived just about 25 minutes closer I would happily call this my home gym. Still trying to find a way to make it work!! That's how much I like it. Clean, welcoming, even has two cardio sections and a separate cross training gym where they also do classes. Price is more than fair, and if you're still member you get a 24 hour key card.

NO A/C!! If you like wasting your money being hot-boxed and working out with equipment that…read morehasn't been updated since 1999. This is your place. Nothing gets fixed. The treadmill and leg extension have been broken for 6 months. We are all getting charged extra for the gym upkeep. Slum lord owners. Popping bottles on your dime.

This is a good gym, very accessible. Now that it has an Arc - which is my favorite machine - it's…read moreperfect. There is usually plenty of room and time on most machines available - probably due to being open 24 hours, so people can spread out when they come. We have also used the Corvallis gym, and while we like it, it is usually way too full of people - we like the quieter atmosphere in Philomath. We started going to the Philomath gym when we lived there, but continue to go now that we've returned to Corvallis. It's what we want in a gym, and we are older and going for staying healthy and active, not buff - but there are enough young and buff people going that it must meet their requirements as well. Certainly we are happy to recommend it.

The Eugene YMCA truly used to be a great place, in the past few years it has unfortunately entered…read morea downwards spiral. I am saddened to say that this YMCA no longer prioritizes protecting the youth in its care, nor the staff they employ. Their new facility was poorly built and threw them into not only debt, but an urgency to make money back above all else. They throw people under the bus to protect the "organization" and no longer prioritize people over profit. Disappointed that it has strayed so far from a place of community. I would not recommend a membership here, and would especially not recommend you work here or enroll your children.

Terrible schedule. I don't know why they didn't make two pools since they built a new one and they…read morecould have. The classes are always full. They never returned phone calls so I can't cancel my service so I'm paying every month for a service that I don't even use and I don't have time to go in because of my work schedule and I live out of town. Also, it seems like their hot tub is always down as well as their sauna. I just think they should've made it bigger since they had all that property and went to the trouble of building a new one. Very disappointed in my membership

Sound machine (ocean, river and other background sounds) provided not needed as we were there 'off season'. I suppose the traffic noise from US101 ,in the summer, could be a bother but things slow down at night. The motel is within easy walking distance from 'old town' with great food (checkout "Waterfront Depot') and shops. Definitely on my list of good places.

Check in was interesting. Walked over to our room on the first floor. Door was wide open. We had…read morenot opened. Some staff came by and said oh yeah left it open on accident. Ok fine. Room was super hot and super small. Only good thing about the room is that it opened to the beach. Bed was comfortable. Had to get a box fan to blow on us. Super hot. Higher rooms tend to be warmer but you can always keep your door open. Just not on the first floor for obvious reasons.

Very disappointed. my sister and I were revisiting our past. the hotel,is as old as we are now…read more really sad the walls are as thin as my skin and everything seems to get absorbed, if you know what I mean! it's like they gave up. One of the employees, was rather rude, she told a girl waiting on us to go home and she'd said just leave them, they can wait. i have some orders first , we were only buying a bottle of wine. another lady came over and apologized and rang us up so we could go. just not a good experience, especially for $1600 + dollars. expectEd better service and cleaner rooms. sorry won't be going back.

The bad: Even though they added a wooden ceiling to curb the footsteps upstairs they still come through:( I know it's the coast but AC would be helpful they did get us a fan though.

Randomly called…read moreafter seeing the vacancy sign and customer service (which seems in short supply here???) was amazing! I wish I could remember her name - lady in early sixties, perhaps - recommended a great place to eat in historic old town and then kindly welcomed me in after dinner around 9:30 at night. Even though she didn't have to, she stayed up with me to talk, discuss my road trip, and help map out the next few days. Rooms were clean and spacious, and the signs indicating a 10pm curfew were effectively enforced, although all guests in the pool and hot tub, myself included, respected them without further intervention. Side note: I don't know where else to mention this, but I want to share the advice passed along by the hotel clerk. There is a secluded cove just north of Florence that is a must-see if you're near the coast. To get there, drive north along the 101 until just after the tunnel/ bridge. There is a turn off for the Heceta lighthouse and beach. This is a beautiful, little-known gem and off the beaten path. It doesn't require more than 20 minutes, but there is a small tortuous creek that flows beneath the aforementioned bridge and the subsequent estuary has created a really idyllic beachfront. Again, thanks to the hotel clerk for sharing this with me!
