The entire coaching team consistently exceeds expectations, and the community built inside those four walls is truly superb. It sounds cliche, but everyone there is family and they really mean it. The team has consistent, top-notch programming and is designed for athletes of all ages, no matter your fitness level. (I literally train with a badass 69yr old who out lifts most men there). You go at your own speed, but they know my goals and push me to reach them. They are ALWAYS conscious of my previous injuries from martial arts and they make modifications feel like second nature. The coaches are incredibly helpful with everything from start to finish. They also offer nutrition coaching which just blew my brain wide open for understanding how to properly fuel my body for my personal goals. A++++ I'm so proud to have been a part of what they've built here, and while I'm sad to leave, I'm excited to watch their continued growth and see the new location thrive. I love you BMF

I look forward to seeing this greedy, lying, business woman, close her doors. Unfortunately she was so angry and screaming about her paper that I wrote on... that I walked away without getting the video tape of her yelling at me stay tune I'm going to see if the mall has cameras there to show you guys what she did. And keep in mind that she most likely is going to pressure people to write reviews for her that are positive to cancel this out so be careful anything you see after this... will be just either her lying or her pressuring her clients. --- original review- Every time I've gone to investigate the gym ... prices have raised. I joined in 2020 and got laid off, there was no mercy from this "local business." I just knew I was able to finally afford the last increase, walked over... and she's raised them AGAIN. Gym wants $149 to register and then it's $80 a month for the gym plus $75 a month for unlimited spin classes. First and last month advanced. When I asked the owner why they were asking for first and last in advance... She said it was standard for gyms but it's not. I've been shopping, so she's a liar, Last time I asked her why her prices were always increasing and she said it was to limit for her clientele to be exclusive. Could I have "afforded" it? Sure I could everything's about choices? I choose not to give my business to this gym When I went to sign up, she gave me a blank piece of paper and told me she would fill it out. She wasn't even willing to give me the price, and as I was writing down the prices... she yelled at me because I wrote on the piece of paper she gave me. She was yelling at me as I left the gym, for "writing on the paper." She's just mad I wasn't willing to pay her exorbitant price just because I had my credit card out.

Like anyone starting their fitness journey, it is not easy getting used to a new routine but the coaches are so approachable and helpful. If you are doing this by yourself, then you already made the right choice. If you are coming here with friends, continue to encourage each other and hold each other accountable. Big shout out to Coach Jacob aka Jlo. He has been huge help in my body transformation. Have been doing Personal Training with him for 3 years now as well. I couldn't be more happier with my results. He is tough, he doesn't play around but he will give you the result you want if you follow his instructions

This has been the best experience ever! Never in a million years did i ever think i would I would become one of those pple who love going to the gym and working out! I actually love getting sweaty! But a big part of this has to do with the coaches! Doris, Anthony and Cyril! They are not just encouraging but motivating ! I am so grateful to this team! One of my biggest fears was trying to work out in front of other people, especially as an out of shape beginner. But there were so many members in the same boat as me and everyone from the coaches to the members made me feel safe from ridicule and made this such an amazing experience! Now I'm heading back home to PA and will miss everyone here! If you have been thinking of starting your fitness journey, just do it! You will not regret it! I don't even live in California but I signed up for the year so i can come during all future business trips out here! No joke! Thank you Doris, Cyril, Anthony and all the members!

I'm so thankful I found Diane, she has challenged me, made me stronger and I never get bored her workouts, they are always different! You are in a small group setting but Diane modifies each persons weight amount, intensity or a modified version for any injury you are rehabbing. She watches everyone intently corrects form, or adds weight to push you if she sees you are ready. Once I got pregnant she completely modified a version of the group workout for me each session. She ensures I am avoiding movements that are dangerous, that I wear a heart rate monitor to watch my HR and she also adds in things that will help prep me for delivery. I have been able to keep working out into 3rd trimester and hope she can keep me getting healthy movement in as long as possible!

I am of a particular age where ppl say " oh you cant lose weight nor get fit". I changed food habits completely = to a " clean food plan". The next decision changed my life completely. I found Diane Carpenter's DC Fitness! My journey will continue, as I get stronger and healthier day by day. Diane is a dedicated trainer, who tailors the fitness routine- to the needs and ability of her clients. She is no nonsense hands-on trainer; demonstrating then observing and correcting as the workout progresses. Every session is a new experience but is always balanced with both cardio and resistance. No workout is the same-old-thing. She has state of the art fitness machines combined with many other fitness tools : bands, dumbells, bosu, weight balls, TRX, blocks.... and more. At DC Fitness you dont waste time walking a tredmill; you dig right in and do reps and sets and move from routine to routine. I love this place and the vibe. I love my personal challenges. I love my progress. I am including 2 pictures. One is at the start of my fitness journey and the other is me as I am now. And one more thing: everyone that works out here is welcoming and courteous. I think when you like yourself, you become a nicer person. Thanks to Diane, I feel my self worth improving.

CP runs a boutique-style personal training gym that's honestly one of the cleanest and most well-equipped spaces I've ever been in. He puts real thought into every session -- it's not a one-size-fits-all workout. What I really appreciate is how CP bridges that gap between physical therapy and personal training. He focuses on alignment, getting the right muscles to fire, and helping you move in a way that actually supports your body instead of hurting it. It's made a big difference with my postpartum posture issues and all the aches from standing all day. If you want a gym where the trainer actually cares, knows what they're doing, and takes pride in the details, this is it. It's become the one hour I get for myself that actually helps me function better the rest of the day.

I've had the pleasure of training with Justin since 2018, and it's been one of the best decisions I've ever made. Ashley and CP are amazing to work with as well! Pros: - A very clean and private space - The equipment available is what you'll find at a top fitness club/gym facility - InBody machine available to track progress - Easy parking - Trainers are super friendly and customize plans/sessions to your goals - Post workout stretches - Cupping available - Justin lets me pick the music (extreme plus lol) One thing I personally wish they had was a shower for post workouts, but that's about it. Other than that, I can't fault this place. It hasn't stopped me from continually coming back. I highly recommend hitting up the trainers at Stoic!

Chris, the trainers, the members, and the gym itself are the best of their kind. They lead with heart. I'm an open gym goer (24/7 access my dude) but witnessing the culture and being a part of such an environment is worth way more than any other commercial or group class gym membership. As the gym, undoubtedly, continues to grow there's no chance the virtue and values of this place will dilute. If you're in the market for the best then I suggest you look no further than the Neighborhood. Hit em up on instagram @neighborhood.gym with any questions.
