I have been on every diet know to man, and even though sometimes I was able to lose weight it always came back on and more. Healthy Inspirations doesn't give you a diet but a plan of eating healthy. The exercise routine started me off from being sedentary to gently moving and then progressing to where I now do aerobic exercise for an half hour and 1/2 hour on the machines. The Staff's support has taught me portion control, that you don't have to be perfect, just persistent and keep on working. I have seen how healthy eating can change your health. I just had a check up at my doctor's and I was down 30 lbs and my blood sugar went from diabetic range for two years to showing I no longer even have diabetes. I am very happy and look forward to losing more and getting healthier along the way. Thank you Healthy Inspirations. read more

I have been a member of Healthy Inspirations in Atascadero for over a year. I have not lost weight but gained weight. They can not keep staff and the owner is only interested in making money off of her clients. Unfortunately,. I signed a two year contract and hope I do not gain to much weight back that I loss with another weight loss program during the next six months I have left with this program. I am truly sorry to my friends and family that I have gotten to join and are gaining to. I am also sorry if this business closes but I have heard that this has been happening for years even when it was under another name. Buyer beware this is a Christian based business so if you have any other belief or religion there will be moments that you will find yourself being preached at to a point of disrespecting individual choice. Wishing you all the best of luck on your weight loss journey. read more

I have been a member for about 5 months now & I have been very happy. What I have learned the most is about taking responsibility for my own health & wellness. I have reached my 40% goal and probably would have been closer to my goal but I get side tracked with life sometimes and use comfort food to "feel better". I am learning to not be so hard on myself. The staff is trained & have a solid understanding of the psychology of why we eat & so give the appropriate information. The staff has been in this industry for a good long time & have recently hired on new college graduates who majored in nutrition. One of the many things I like about this company is that there has never been any pressure to purchase their products (as they sell themselves) & the easy access to their wellness amenities that are included in the membership. Definately the best value for your money. Take control of your life ladies. Get healthy & feel vibrant & sexy again. I want to add that I have not been asked to write this review or compensated in any way. I came to yelp because I am moving out of the area for school & wanted to write about my personal experience. After reading a strange and derogatory review here I have searched for other reviews by this person. It is against Yelp rules to use a name that is not your name (red flag), This rule is set for accountabilty factors (red flag), also there have been more than a few reviews by this same individual rating unhealthy food choices (red flag). Especially when you are supposed to be proactively choosing to take responsibility for one's own health (red flag). Ladies do your own due diligence before taking my word or anyone's else's & read your contract. Unfortunately there are those who would like to blame others for their own misgivings. read more

I have gone from a size 12/14 to a size 4 through strength training as well as healthy eating.. I love Healthy Inspirations as they have the strength training equipment I need to continue staying in shape and healthy. They are also part of the Silver Sneakers Program through my insurance which provides monthly membership to area Seniors... I have gone to other gyms in the area and I really enjoy Healthy Inspirations best of all... read more

I have a plethora of complaints with this branch, which I believe to be under the same ownership/management as the Paso facility. It's not a very high-energy environment. I've been to a 'Curves' and they were great: motivating, energetic, loud upbeat music, peppy, etc. Healthy Inspirations is the polar opposite. Music can hardly be heard and is as dull as it comes. Personnel sits at a desk with their backs to you and pays no attention. After about 2 weeks of my going there, one of the trainers finally noticed that I was using a machine improperly and said could possibly cause harm to myself; this is the way my original trainer showed me. I cancelled my membership a couple of months later (which is allowed if you move more than 'X' amount of miles away with a $50 cancellation fee, which was my situation) via letter with a copy of both front and back of my credit card that I wanted charged for this. After 15 minutes of debating over it, the owner/manager (Trish) instead "froze" my account for a month in case I changed my mind, though I assured her that with my living so far away, I would not. She then called me after about 2 weeks and left a message, seeming to not remember 100% why my account was frozen. I tried returning call twice, I believe, and she was never there or available. A couple of weeks after that, I get a letter stating that my credit card was declined for the $50 and I was sent to collections. This is inaccurate because my account always had at least $50 in it nor did I received a "declined transaction" notice from my bank. I'm positive that she misplaced the copy of my credit card number (which is scary for me and negligent and unprofessional on their part) and instead tried running the original credit card that I signed up with, which had since been cancelled. SO... now I not only live with the worry that my credit card number is floating around somewhere, but my credit has been dinged as well, because she wouldn't just cancel my membership as I'd asked from the get-go. read more
