I've been coming to this gym for a few months now, and I'm so glad I found Excel Health and…read moreFitness. What really sets this gym apart from others I've been to is how involved and supportive the coaches are. From day one, they made me feel welcome and encouraged. They take the time to explain the exercises, make sure you're doing them correctly, and truly help you get the most out of each workout. One extra touch that really stands out is how involved the owner, Danny, is. He actually takes the time to check in with you, see how things are going, and make sure you're feeling supported. Even the motivating emails make a difference -- they help keep you accountable and remind you why you're showing up in the first place. This gym feels less like a place you just work out and more like a community that actually cares about your progress. Highly recommend if you're looking for encouragement, guidance, and a place that genuinely wants to see you succeed.

I was recently reminded that I've been a member at Excel for seven years now- crazy how time flies!…read moreI first joined this gym to train with the competitive athletes but was surprised by how much I fell in love with the gym and its incredibly positive and uplifting community. Community is a big deal here, and building it is one of the main focuses of the gym. The coaches are also great at providing knowledgeable/personalized feedback. I know people are hesitant to invest in a CrossFit membership ($$) but coming from someone who's paid for multiple gym memberships and barely used them, this one is definitely worth it. The value is in having a whole community help push you towards your fitness goals. So many days I didn't feel like training but then started working out with friends and all of a sudden, it's like you're playing a game. Everyone is beyond friendly here and finding people willing to suffer through a WOD with you is pretty easy. If you want to have fun and improve your health and fitness in the process, I'd definitely recommend Excel for you.

After my free session with Desiree I left feeling like I needed more.. (not a first obviously I wanted to die but it's worth it!!)

If you can't do it one way she'll find another suited to your personal needs and abilities. I was so nervous and thought I'd feel out of place because I am such a newbie with workout terminology and whatnot but please.... Do not hesitate! Give HIIT A try you won't regret it!

I moved to Merced during the pandemic and struggled to find a gym that I felt could be a place of community and a place where my trainer was passionate with helping me achieve my goals, until I met Justin. He is so knowledgeable with his movement anatomy that I always walk out of my sessions feeling strong rather than feeling beat up and depleted (but don't get me wrong- his workout will get your heart pumping and your body sweattttin!). He listens when you have injuries and very versed in giving you options for modification that produces the same results. I've been consistently going to his group training weekly for a few months now and I have felt such a difference in how I move my body at work. I'm not easily tired after working and see a progression in my strength in how I am carrying my body in space. I felt such a difference that my husband and brother in law are now consistently coming along! I highly recommend Justin's classes for anyone who is looking to improve their lifestyle and physical resilience- especially when your job requires hard labor- he will help you build your strength to keep your body's momentum. The location is very convenient downtown with tons of parking on the street or the back lot, they just did a glow up and the vibe inside the studio is energetic and empowering. See you next Thursday WPT! Thank you for what you do!

I've sent an email to the business email as well as trying to contact them through Instagram, I am left with having to reach out to my bank to stop the payment.

Whomever is responsible for payment/customer service should be responsive to customers/members . No response is unacceptable.
