He's friendly, knowledgeable, and does a great job of meeting you where you are each day, knowing when to push and when to ease up. He's also been a huge help working around injuries and answering any questions along the way. Thanks to Rafael, I've improved my level of strength and fitness over the years and feel better in everyday life, not just in the gym. I highly recommend Rafael if you're looking for a trainer who's experienced, supportive, and genuinely cares about your progress.

My program is tailored to my specific needs (my hobby is ballroom dancing) and evolves as those needs change over time. Their in depth understanding of anatomy coupled with a seemingly endless number of unique exercises makes the program effective while also keeping it fun and interesting. This is personal training on an entirely new level and I am so grateful I found this place.

I also did a few months of private sessions with Sarah A., which completely elevated the quality of my workouts. The vibes and energy are always immaculate -- you really can't beat the sense of community at Coreology. It's easily the most consistent and motivating workout studio I've been to. P.S. If you're eyeing an early morning (6am) or weekend class, definitely book ahead! They fill up fast -- for good reason.

This studio has met my needs well beyond my wildest expectations. I am happy that they morph with the latest evidence on what makes a person fit (within bounds of the equipment they provide for us). A few shout outs to other awesome instructors - Erin, Julie M., Katie, Sarah A., Robin (so strong), Holly, Amber (so funny), Katrina, and the inimitable Jenny. They (and so many more) make Coreology a human community. I always enter a tad bit uneasy and leave fully sweated knowing I survived an amazing work out. Thanks Coreology for welcoming my wife and me into such a great community.

There are two training areas--one with more machines, and another with treadmills for cardio. My husband and I are new retirees & new to trainings.

We love the wide variety of equipment--after five weeks (2x/wk), we're still discovering new machines and routines. Here, patrons of all ages mostly keep to themselves, so it's not a very social environment, but the trainers are friendly and professional.

The manager and staff run the facility with professionalism, consistency, and genuine care for members. The gym is extremely clean -- there are always three staff members on the floor actively sanitizing machines, wiping surfaces, and keeping the bathrooms and showers spotless. My wife and I were members at Equinox for several years, paying nearly $400 a month, and the difference is night and day. At Equinox, the staff were often rude, and the machines and locker rooms were cleaned only every few days. Here, cleanliness is continuous and visible. Of course, like any gym, there are members of all ages and backgrounds, and not everyone is equally neat -- especially in the locker rooms. But the staff here address issues immediately. They take pride in maintaining a clean, safe, and comfortable environment. For the level of service we receive, the membership price is extremely reasonable. I also use the spa regularly and have been very happy with it, even though some members occasionally ignore posted rules. The staff still handle these situations professionally. My wife and I come five times a week, and we truly enjoy it. I highly recommend this gym and want to thank the manager, staff, and floor team for keeping this place clean, welcoming, and enjoyable.

On June 10, 2026, I attempted to use the Fitness 19 Rolling Hills Estates location as an active member. My membership barcode is 1927181071, and I have successfully used this location approximately ten times previously. Upon arrival, a front desk employee informed me that staff were "supposed to stop" me and denied me entry. When I repeatedly asked for an explanation, none was provided. A manager and an individual identified as the owner became involved, and I was ordered to leave the facility. I have documented disabilities, including a traumatic brain injury, major neurocognitive disorder, hearing impairment, and facial paralysis. I informed staff of these disabilities during the interaction. Despite this, I was treated as though I was behaving improperly and was told I appeared to be "laughing." My concern is not simply that I was denied entry. My concern is that I was denied access without explanation, treated differently than other members, and refused any meaningful information regarding why staff were "supposed to stop" me. I am requesting a written explanation for the denial of access and a review of any notes, restrictions, alerts, or instructions associated with my membership account.

Walking down is a pretty steep decline, so be sure to watch your step. When you get down to the beach, you'll notice how clean and clear the water is and I was amazed by the number of tide pools there were! I was able to see so many crawfish, little baby crabs, and even a starfish! I've never seen so many sea creatures up close and personal so it was definitely a cool experience. It's really easy to spend a few hours here just taking everything in. We came at around 12pm on a Saturday and the trail wasn't too crowded. The trail itself is also very clean and not difficult; the most physically demanding part is walking back up to the parking lot from the beach because it's all incline, however, I think it's doable for most people. There is a parking lot that costs $12 for parking the entire day.

The beach cove and sea cave are open to the public and super fun to explore though the closer you get to the cave the rockier the incline so be careful, watch your step and have on some sensible foot attire. The cliff side mountain structure is beautiful as well, the formation of various shades of earth, gorgeous brown, orange, beige, gray and truly cool hues. There are some wooden Adirondack chairs apart of the resort, free to use lots of patches of sand and rocks to spread out a small blanket or sit on and views upon views of the ocean. Picnic friendly, but very quaint. You can see a lot of look out points and paths close by and just before you decline there is one final pool area (for guest)with tables on the outside for public use. It's very serene, peaceful and even with packs of adorable families and energetic kids very relaxing. The waves and breeze kind of make everything calm (holding the hand of someone special for a beat doesn't hurt either). Unfortunately pets aren't allowed in this area and there is a bridge with a pup corner with rails to leave your dog as well as bowls for water. Felt bad for the one we saw wanting to play with their family, but I'm optimistic they got spoiled after. Definitely will get lost in this cove meets cave meets beach again in the near future.
