Owner is welcoming and professional. Everyone minds their own business. Things to consider: 1. Bring your own towel 2. Be clean and wipe your machine down with spray and paper napkins provided 3. Bring your own water 4. Have a good set of ear buds/head set Solid no nonesense gym. No frills, but for serious people looking to lift.

Hard for me to write this review because I want this place to stay a secret and love that it's not…read moreso busy. But because I also love Jennifer and Tony and think they're doing a great job running this place, I'm leaving this honest review . Best gym for lifting heavy in 5 cities area. Especially if you want someplace that feels safe, where the people are friendly, courteous, and I never have to wait to use equipment. They have 2 squat rack platforms, a smith machine, large dual cable pulley system, lots of dumbbells (go up to 100lbs) benches, boxes, not a lot of cardio equipment (boo cardio anyways...) 1 rower, 1 elliptical, 1 treadmill, and a large punching bag. They also have a few weight machines like lying leg curl, leg extension, leg press, hip thrust, and a chest press machine. (Would love a hack squat machine or hip abduction machine... ) Plenty of space for stretching or doing walking lunges. And a few personal trainers that you could get 1 on 1 sessions from if you're interested in that. love it here because there are a bunch of women that life heavy so it feels welcoming for women as well. In the evening there are a bunch of high schoolers and college kids that train here, and sometimes play death metal too loud (, I use noise canceling headphones) but it's rarely crowded The price is really reasonable too. Hope you (don't) join .

They don't just throw you a generic workout plan and tell you to hit it. Emily, the owner, took the time to understand what I wanted to achieve, what motivated me, and what my limitations were. It felt like a real conversation, not just filling out a form. And it goes way beyond just the weights! We talked about nutrition, sleep, hydration, my whole lifestyle. Emily gave me a plan that fit into the real me, not some fantasy version that wouldn't last a week. But the best part? This feels like a true partnership. Emily made it clear she could be as detailed as I needed, but she'd also hold me accountable in a way that works for ME. It wasn't a one-size-fits-all approach - I saw them working with other clients in completely different ways. And let's talk about Emily, the owner. This isn't just a job for her, it's her passion, her calling. You can see it in the way she explains things, the genuine enthusiasm she brings, and the depth of knowledge she's willing to share. Not once did I feel like she was talking down to me, even when I was asking beginner questions. or when I had uncertainty from other fitness regimens that I've tried. If you're looking for a gym that truly cares about your individual journey, C5 is the place. It's clear they want to see you succeed, and they'll give you the tools and support to get there.

I do take issue with the fact that restroom maintenance is inconsistent and parts of the locker room are disgusting. I would love to be able to take a shower here periodically, but it is pretty gross. And yes, I have very nicely asked about it multiple times but the management does not seem inclined to do anything about it. Maybe because they know this gym is the best option in the area even if left as is? I'm not sure, but it seems like it would not be that difficult to have the cleaning crew do a better job.

The crew here let me do a drop in as an out of towner, simply because they wanted to help me out.

It sincerely felt like supportive community, old-school Rocky Balboa style with everything you need. Wishing y'all continued success.

I have been attending classes at Crossfit Grover Beach for over a year. I have certainly enjoyed…read moremy time at CFGB, especially after attending classes at the other local box, Obsidian Crossfit (would also rate them 4 out of 5). The atmosphere is a tad more laid-back than other crossfit gyms in the area. The owner personally trains the majority of classes, and is always available for, and receptive to, feedback. He has consistently added classes (or opened his gym early) when a demand rises from his clients. Crossfit Grover Beach (CFGB) has multiple trainers. Several of the trainers are former clients, who have received certification and now instruct, in addition to competing at an amateur level in local and national competition. These folks are supportive, helpful, and knowledgeable in fitness, nutrition, and general wellness. CFGB does earn a 4-star rating in my book, due to a negative performance in the 2013 Crossfit Open competition. The trainers did not pay close enough attention to the requirements for a complete movement, and their top athlete was disqualified from the open for this reason. That athlete has proven himself this year, and is on the road to redemption for the entire box' reputation. It was a simple thing, to look at the clarification in the rules, and ensure that all athletes met the requirement, but the company has taken steps to ensure better practices henceforth. :::Edit::: I don't know why my location is posted as "Hanford," I live in Oceano.

Even though I have been doing Crossfit for 7+ years, Coach Ben was so helpful in correcting and improving my form in several lifts. He is very skilled and notices the details. The programming is fantastic, varied, easy to scale and so much fun. The members are very friendly and welcoming, making it a joy to visit. Ben has a great weekly rate for unlimited classes and they have many hours of open gym as well. If I lived anywhere near here I would be a member. But if you can't join, I highly recommend visiting this gym if you are just in the area temporarily.

Every child is given the spotlight, fostering a sense of achievement. The Pit is also very dedicated to community by hosting gatherings and participating in community events. We highly recommend their programs!
