Have been going to this gym for over a year, so this review is long overdue…read more Headstrong combines everything you love about SLO and gym culture. Like most of SLO, everyone is incredibly friendly - from the staff to the coaches that will go out of their way to introduce themselves and always say hi when they see you in the gym. They have developed a community that only comes from continued and deliberate effort. They regularly host events to keep growing this community and you can see its size and strength at the 9am Saturday classes. This gym nailed the warehouse aesthetic while also keeping weight-lifters in mind. I have never had an issue finding a squat rack, which I can't say about any other gym I have been to. The free weights/dumbbells go in to the high 100s, where most gyms cap at 95/100lbs. In the warmer weather the outdoor turf-lined area is one of my favorite perks that I've also never had in other gyms. This place is a gym that's designed by people who actually use the gym and make it a point to continue making improvements for its members. If you need a gym that's more than just a place to work out, check out Headstrong.

The black card lounge was open, with two chairs to sit in. My only con would be the tv is set on ads, and nothing else. When you're waiting for someone to finish, it can get repetitive. Overall, nice gym.

I'd only go to this gym if the location was convenient, which it was when I initially signed up…read more It's pretty pricey for limited hours, old/very used equipment, and no other amenities. The gym was never super busy which was a pro, but bathroom was legitimately always out of soap, and the upstairs bottle fill up station would need a filter replacement frequently enough and it would take days to fix it. Parking is pretty minimal and mangers advised against parking in the back lot, but the front lot has limited (2 hrs) timing and you can get ticketed during a longer gym session. You are typically locked into a 6 month contract and it's hard/expensive to get out of, but they did mention this when I signed up. I agree with other reviews that it was incredibly difficult to stop my membership because this process was not clearly outlined on the website, and I had to talk to multiple people because the first two associates did not give me the right information. I'd just go anywhere else.

I became a member in January (2024) and have taken advantage of their daily classes and workout space. It is a clean and supportive environment.

The YMCA has a mission statement that is clearly followed by the leadership team and staff!! --Sheri M.

I love the classes. My favorite class is the Total Body Strength and conditioning class taught by Kristen.

Machinery is very limited, they do have some cool things but only one bench, two squat racks, and a gang of equipment that's all over the place... so much so that it's hard to put away 45lb plates because of spacing. This is a good temporary stop if you're just visiting but the gym is below average for sure. My concern is safety in this gym and equipment not being bolted down is a HUGE red flag. Lighting is also awful in some areas. Can't tell if shit is clean or not... Will never make this my regualr

The rec center is included with student fees, and it's about $40-$50 for alumni/staff/faculty, which is a great price for what it offers and what other gyms don't offer/their prices. This rec center has 3 workout spaces with free weights and machines, an outdoor lap pool and leisure pool (includes whirlpool, basketball hoops in pool), 3 studios for classes that are included (hip hop cardio, Pilates, 6-pack abs, body pump, breakaway (form of spin), etc.), an indoor basketball court, volleyball courts, sand volleyball courts outside and BBQ pits. I love that I rarely ever wait for a machine or free weights, and I can save my spot for a class a day before.

I am so in love with this gym that after I graduated Cal Poly I keep paying for the membership. It is pretty comparable to other gyms in the area and totally worth it. The staff keep the areas clean and are always wiping down the machines. There are 3 main areas to work out in (treadmills, elliptical, bikes, weights, etc.). You can take all of the classes with your membership like yoga, spin, and more. The gym offers other amenities like a basketball court, racquetball courts, pools outside, and nice locker rooms with showers. Since there are so many things to do, there are usually a lot of people! The best time to go is really early in the morning (students are usually still sleeping). The only downside to the Rec Center is parking...if you do not have a student parking pass, it is extremely difficult to find parking. You either have to pay for a daily pass or roam the streets for free 2-hour parking. I wish the membership included a parking pass! Overall I love this gym and will continue to purchase a membership!
