I love Simpatico. I tried a private Pilates lesson for the first time with Mindy Horwitz (owner of…read moreSimpatico) and have been a client now for about 7 months. Now, I have always worked out, and stayed in good shape. I naturally have a very boyish figure (straight up and down, no curves). After doing Pilates at Simpatico and really learning how to use the correct muscles, I have to say that for the first time ever I HAVE A WAIST!!! No other type of exercise program has gotten me the results I've achieved at Simpatico. Thank you Mindy! Simpatico is a wonderfully clean, calm, nurturing studio. The staff and other instructors ROCK! The Will Power & Grace classes are also amazing - its a nice way to really sweat and burn calories and use Pilates-esc graceful movements!!!! If you do Pilates at all, I highly recommend checking out Simpatico Pilates and Gryotonic Studio in Santa Barbara, CA!!!!

Will Nelson really knows what he is doing when it comes to fitness/nutrition for whatever your…read moregoals are not to mention just a really good guy! I joined his online 6 week challenge with a number of other guys (all who had different goals from losing weight to staying healthy, to building muscle and everything in between). Will had advice and tips and help for everyone no matter what their goals and helped keep the group engaged with multiple check ins per week to see how everyone was doing. I had never been able to consistently go to the gym before because I would lose motivation or burn out but Will's program helped keep me engaged and hold me accountable. He lays out a very easy to follow process and allows you to actually create a LIFESTYLE rather than just a fad diet or workout plan. He helps to create a mindset of something that can really change your life. I lost 8 pounds in 6 weeks under this program and learned so much more about nutrition than I had ever known before. If you are an experienced health/fitness goer who just needs a little push or someone who has no idea what you are doing, Will's program is definitely for you! If you feel like there is a plethora of information out there and you are overwhelmed or confused, that's how I felt going in and Will helps to simplify it and really help you out. Highly recommend Will for trying to reach any of your fitness/nutrition goals!

Will is knowledgeable, motivating, and consistent with his workouts. From eating right to ensuring you're making the right movements, Will delivered. I highly recommend his program, expertise, and overall service. I'll be continuing his workouts and hope others get a chance to experience these results. If you're committed and want to see results from your workouts, you definitely need to meet Will!

Frankie and Casey are incredible trainers - I have learned so much since I started working with them.

But going through their carefully planned program, I have continually surprised myself as I have built strength and learned the correct movements. Based on this, I have so much confidence in the FMPT methodology. I highly recommend training with FMPT!

I was staying near Montecito for a while and needed a place to work out. I'm usually a pretty hardcore gym person, but something about the Montecito's Y website was extremely attractive so I decided to give them a try. I was going to schedule a tour on the site but did not since I couldn't be certain of the time I'd be able to get there. The website was very inviting and said something like "...or just stop on by..." which I did, I was greeted so warmly, and so enthusiastically by the staff (John, along with 2 lovely ladies whose names I did not get) that it felt both unreal yet fully genuine at the same time. The facility, while housing modern equipment, feels like a throwback to a simpler time, with multiple workout areas, some partially outdoors (awesome!) and a great pool that's heated year-round. Every member I encountered offered a warm smile and a hello, and extra touches like a wide array of flowers for sale are wonderful. I was set to be in the area through the New Year for a job that unfortunately ended prematurely. Still, I'm so grateful to the team at the Montecito Family Y for inviting me in so beautifully when I visited, providing all the equipment I needed for a full workout, and for existing as a beacon of community at a time when our world needs it the most.

I don't know what the best solution is for this but it's a mess in terms of behavior. Nobody follows the sauna rules and brings in newspapers, headphones, food, and one guy even put his gross soaked workout clothes over the heater to dry! Just absolutely abhorrent, inconsiderate behavior. One man recently brought a huge glass bottle inside to drink with the other day, and a few of us were worried what would happen if it fell off the bench. We're all barefoot, after all. Sure enough we all heard an explosion and lots of loud cursing (classy) from the locker room later, and it turns out he dropped it and it shattered all over the changing area floor. A worker gave the man a broom but didn't say anything about why the guy brought a huge glass juice bottle out in the first place. I wouldn't feel safe bringing my kid here if they're so laid back about broken glass on the ground. Not sure what the point is of having a huge rule list taped on the sauna door is when nobody enforces it. People also take super loud phone calls as well despite the no cell-phone sign. Watch your feet if you're in the men's locker room, cause with the rubber mats with holes in them, there's no way they cleaned all the shards out unless they removed the mats and cleaned. And we can all tell from the wet mud stains in between the gaps whether or not this will ever happen...
