The owner and head coach, Steve, really makes an effort to get to know everyone and build community here. (Shout-out to the newer coaches as well, Shaq and Jeff!) And dogs still make regular appearances, so you can also get some pet therapy in between sets. (But if you're not into dogs, they get put away, so don't worry! It's hard not to soften up to Hazel though, a very sweet maltese/shih-tzu mix who loves to be pet) There are a number of long-time members here for good reason! So whether you're looking into starting your strength training journey or you're a veteran looking for somewhere to work out, I can't recommend Anchored enough!

The coaches actually teach technique -- footwork, combinations, defense, conditioning -- and they push you to improve every class. The training is legit. You'll hit heavy bags, do partner drills, conditioning, and learn real striking fundamentals. Some people here compete, so the level can getg serious if you want it to. But beginners are still welcome and the coaches help you learn from the ground up. The environment is motivating and the workouts are tough.

What sets Smash apart from other gyms I've trained at is the strong sense of community. I met a lot of amazing people, both students and coaches, and the camaraderie there is unmatched. It wasn't until I moved away from the South Bay and trained at other gyms that I fully appreciated how special Smash is. While other gyms are good, they simply don't compare to the experience I had with Coach Rudi, Jose, Tristan, and the rest of the team. If I ever move back to the South Bay, or even just visit, I'll definitely drop by for a session.

Eventually, my physical therapist kept recommending Pilates to me, and I searched the area for a Pilates instructor who could help me. I called Mercy around June 2023, and Mercy replied that she has worked with individuals with mild to severe conditions and believes she could help me. Although I was reluctant to trust any form of exercise, after two months of pilates sessions with her ONLY once a week, I started noticing more significant changes to my abilities, which was not getting changes from physical therapy. Mercy works on your WHOLE body; it's a holistic approach to bringing your body the best stability so you can do what you want and move how you need to. I've noticed many changes and learned many things about joints, my nervous system, etc. This is also coming from someone who experiences nerve pain, which is I'm sure if you experienced, not fun at all. Almost a year later, I'm moving much better, all thanks to Mercy's guidance. Her expertise and dedication have been instrumental in my recovery, and I feel deeply grateful to have found such a supportive and impactful person. Also lulu and meka are the CUTEST

Lost: 20.2ibs Lost: 4.4% body fat Lost: total of 16 inches Not everyone's results may turn out the same as mine, as we all have different health, body types, frames, and what drives/sparks us to a healthy path. But getting results overall depends on your determination on going to the gym every day or according to whatever your training plan is, staying committed to the diet or meal plan, your mindset, and putting in the effort consistently while not falling back into any previous bad habits. But safety is key, that is #1! Know your limits and where you feel improvement is needed. And know when your body needs to pause to not overstrain yourself.

During my last session, I counted at least five different tripods set up around the floor. As a regular member, it's becoming increasingly difficult to navigate the facility. Walkways are frequently blocked, and in an already crowded space, having filming setups taking up extra square footage is both a safety hazard and a nuisance. It's hard to focus on a workout when you're constantly worried about stepping on someone's gear or accidentally walking into their shot. I hope management can implement or more strictly enforce a policy regarding tripods. A gym should be a place for training, not a production studio.

At the entrance, there's a sign that said Stairway to Heaven, so you already know what you're getting yourself into. There are stairs and paths everywhere to explore. Come prepared with water and cover yourself up, since some parts may not have shade. After the initial ascent of stairs, the main area is lush with trees, succulents, and covered with fake lawn. There are statues of gods, demi-gods, and important figures lined up along the edge of the mountain. Jesus Christ also had its own praying areas. I loved that this temple was all-inclusive to believers. The paths are beautifully landscaped and felt so zen with the sounds of windchimes and coolness of the mountain breeze. Everywhere you go was a path to explore. There's incense and a lighter at each statue, but you can also get a bundle from the main house to the right. They don't take any donations, which is so generous. All they ask for donation is water for those who forgot to bring water. You can also light your incense with the candle, but remember to blow it out when you're done to not waste it. To the back right there are bathrooms also - 3 stalls for the women's. Not sure about the men's and I don't think I should know anyway haha. If you continue up the steep mountain, you can make it to various overlooks and to the final house with all the Buddhas on a platform held up by poles. Along the paths, you can see tons of birds, lizards, and squirrels. Looks like they are still building more paths and platforms. It would be interesting to come back and see the progress. Considering no donations, the entire place has really good upkeep. We were able to relax and have lunch at one of their many cute stone tables. We left feeling refreshed and cleansed of the daily stresses of daily life.

Ms. Yaoyao has a wonderful way of keeping young learners engaged. My kid has so much fun with the active singing, scales, and song-playing activities she integrates into the class. Getting a young child to practice consistently can be a struggle, but Ms. Yaoyao's constant encouragement and patience have made all the difference. Thanks to her, he has made incredible progress over the past 18 months! Beyond the fantastic teaching, the studio itself is top-notch. They offer classes for a variety of instruments in both 1:1 and group settings to fit different learning styles. A huge highlight for us is that they host recitals and concerts in professional auditoriums at least twice a year, which gives the kids a wonderful opportunity to build confidence and showcase their hard work. I highly recommend Ms. Yaoyao and her team at Berryessa Music School. If your child is ready to begin their music journey, definitely reach out to them!
