Pismo Beach is known for a quiet beach town with great food, delicious food, and amazing views of…read morethe ocean. That is why I was shocked when I found another business in the area that rocks what they do, and a great value. This is Central Core! Central Core is hard to pin down exactly what they do (fitness studio, Pilates,group classes, etc?) as they offer so many unique classes. I met the owner & head trainer Misha. She is super passionate and knowledgeable in lots of aspects of training and getting the most out of your training time (super important). I decided to try the pilates class first. Pilates is the class that uses those cool glide type equipment and resistance straps. I have always wanted to try this, and glad I did. This class was lead by Misha. It was nice there was another man in the class and had another person who had done Pilates class before. The class really hit almost all the core body parts and enjoyed the WHOLE body experience. Misha tailored the exercises to each persons strengths and needs. Perfect class. I was sore and felt stronger all at the same time. With that positive experience I signed up for TRX (those cool yellow straps) and their pump and jump class (back to back classes, booya!). These were taught by Cameron another instructor here, and she was very helpful. She kept the class motivated and pushed us. I really liked both classes. The trx exercises really helped both isolate the muscles a good burn. I also appreciated that it helped give extra support for my knees while letting the exercises really work my muscles. The pump and jump is a modified Pilates class and switch off with weight training. I liked the Pilates jump and it really helped my focus on my legs and kept my knees strong. (Also fun to jump jump...) I really like the feel of the studio. Supportive staff that take the time to really care about us (the students) is just the start for an amazing experience. I would definitely recommend trying out a few classes (Pilates, trx), and see for yourself. What is your favorite class?

The studio was clean, the equipment is new and Ardy personally came over and introduced herself to me. I have been doing Pilates for 3 times a week for the last 6 months at a very large and busy studio in San Diego. Kristina took the extra time to help me improve my form and to better understand how to use the exercises to more effectively engage my core muscle groups. She went the extra mile and helped me with some additional therapy exercises I can do at home for my plantar fasciitis. This studio has a great vibe and Kristina is awesome! I would definitely recommend this studio.

What a scam. This club tried to scam me for three hundred dollars. I had been a member there for…read morethree months. They told me there was no cancellation fee after three months. When I emailed them in advance to cancel, they told me someone had signed me up for a new contract one month after I'd already been a member there for a month. So they signed me up for two contracts in a one month period, and told me too bad about the first month it didn't count. So they wanted four months of their 200 dollar contract and when I tried to cancel they hit me with the hundred dollar cancellation fee. Scammers. So I do not even want to go there anymore now. They snuck in an extra month to my commitment and tried to charge me an extra 300 in total to cancel. Well send me to collections and hire a lawyer to serve me and we'll settle it in court. Do Pilates, Get scammed. Update: Interestingly enough, I was able to get out of the contract. The trick is to say a few magic words to the lady on the other end of the emails. Hint: expressing that the contract is similar to the R word works wonders. Best of luck!

I have been attending classes at Crossfit Grover Beach for over a year. I have certainly enjoyed…read moremy time at CFGB, especially after attending classes at the other local box, Obsidian Crossfit (would also rate them 4 out of 5). The atmosphere is a tad more laid-back than other crossfit gyms in the area. The owner personally trains the majority of classes, and is always available for, and receptive to, feedback. He has consistently added classes (or opened his gym early) when a demand rises from his clients. Crossfit Grover Beach (CFGB) has multiple trainers. Several of the trainers are former clients, who have received certification and now instruct, in addition to competing at an amateur level in local and national competition. These folks are supportive, helpful, and knowledgeable in fitness, nutrition, and general wellness. CFGB does earn a 4-star rating in my book, due to a negative performance in the 2013 Crossfit Open competition. The trainers did not pay close enough attention to the requirements for a complete movement, and their top athlete was disqualified from the open for this reason. That athlete has proven himself this year, and is on the road to redemption for the entire box' reputation. It was a simple thing, to look at the clarification in the rules, and ensure that all athletes met the requirement, but the company has taken steps to ensure better practices henceforth. :::Edit::: I don't know why my location is posted as "Hanford," I live in Oceano.

You are surrounding by palm trees in every direction, beautiful rolling green mountains, and the ocean is just a few minutes away! This is one of the best clubs I have ever visited. As soon as you walk in, everyone is so friendly and welcoming (it's almost unbelievable). There are over a dozen tennis and pickleball courts, multiple saunas, a large lap pool with a hot tub as well as a smaller leisure pool with another hot tub. There is a wonderful outdoor patio on the second level which overlooks the courts and pools and has fire pits and lots of seating. Inside you will find a cardio room, weight room, and another lounge area with a pool table and a large seating area with a big fireplace. They offer a full service spa where you can get massages, facials, pedicures/manicures, and hair cuts. Added bonus - if you schedule one of those services you get a free day pass to use all of the amenities at the club without being a member. Really can't get over how remarkable this place is and can't wait to go back ASAP!
