There's a wide variety of equipment, so I never feel limited whether I'm doing cardio, weights, or stretching. The staff is friendly and helpful, and I appreciate how welcoming the overall vibe is.

I actually like to workout but it still takes a little self coaxing at times. I like this gym and the staffers are always ready to help. If need be. Unlike some other gym membership experiences I can actually recognize some consistent staffing faces here. So that's nice when there isn't a higher turnover rate as the other gyms. Though I have to agree with some other reviewers. Maintenance of the equipment could be better attended. Especially for such a nice town you'd think they'd utilize the equipment warranties. If they expired maybe it's time for some new equipment to come Maybe. (Included pix of some examples) Just a suggestion or something to look into perhaps. I mainly stick to certain exercises and machines so I haven't utilized Pilates, pool, steam room etc I leave feeling that I accomplished a good workout. I've even gotten a smoothie from time to time as well. When I need a little post workout boost...it's quite refreshing! Let 'em see you sweat! *as per the international La Fitness manager reply. I'd kindly like to point out that it's rather not a "unique", stand alone, or isolated need. It's by my & many other gym members experience here that the majority of equipment might be somewhat functional but a lot of the equipment is outdated and exhibits much wear and tear. For example the older/elderly gentleman next to me had problems with his broken foot strap on the pedal. The staffers should be the ones to put in the requests to the higher ups as they see the issues on the daily. I'm simply informing the consumers and business of my frequent observations and experiences. Thus only took one star away :-) for that. ~B

You think you've been doing a lift correctly, then Betsy gently tells you to move your elbow an inch back and BINGO you can feel the difference immediately. That's why you get a trainer - to make sure you work out correctly. Her home gym is clean and inviting. She makes sure she is up to date on all the latest types of diet and exercise programs and she'll tell you if she thinks they're right for you and if not, help you plan something that is. She is well versed in workouts plans for mature women (and men) of which I happen to be. Betsy is a warm and friendly badass! Give her a try!

When I met Betsy, almost a year ago, I had low-energy and needed a fitness/nutrition make-over. She has gently guided me through several obstacles on my journey for healthy living.

Whatever your current level of fitness, I know Betsy can develop a plan that will be perfect your needs!

A great workout in Solona Beach! I came in with Class Pass on a whim, not sure exactly what to…read moreexpect. I found an incredible circuit style workout. There were 12 others in the class, and I still felt I got personalized attention throughout. This is a similar class to the Functional 45 (F45) class that is taking over right now. I was impressed that he had the same offering and yet seemed more accessible due to Class Pass. Another perk was the cool people also working out there. I feel like this would be an easy place to meet some fit and fun locals. I'll be back, and look forward to seeing how much the workouts change week to week. While in my first class someone had been there the day before, and so Scott (the trainer) changed her workout to help tailor to what she personally needed. It was a great touch!
