I've never been a gym rat, always an athlete. Explicit Fitness has become a team oriented…read moreatmosphere of a gym for me. Everyone has a different story, comes from different sectors in the workforce, and a lot of different personalities. All that being said, when you walk thru the door it seems as though you are transported to all having the common goal of finding a safe place to equally work on our own personal goals while cheering on and helping each other. It's always lighthearted and fun, and whatever area you want to grow in in life there's someone there to help you. Rachel has done an excellent job of making the gym relaxed enough that you don't feel judge and intense enough to kick your butt to hit your goals. She also makes sure you feel like family, always checking in with your gym goals and personal goals. Ensuring you that she's there to help you grow and be supported. The gym is full of all different personalities, gym faces, and gym goals but we're all a family. A lot of gyms are intimidating or you feel judged, and at explicit Rachel makes sure everyone is welcome. You just have to come and meet the crew there's always get togethers, be it holiday parties, birthdays, pickleball meet ups, hiking, or out right spartan races... the whole group comes to what they have time for and no one JUDGES. You want a trainer that pushes you to your goals, listens to you with intention, and makes you feel like you can be yourself... come see Rachel. The nicest kickass trainer you are ever gonna meet!!! Want a gym where you can have resting bitch face cuz it's early, or stare off like deer caught in headlights cuz the workout is kicking your ass... and NO ONE JUDGES you... come to Explicit fitness Laguna Niguel!!! Lastly did I mention the music is popping off... well there's that too. Hope to see you there!

It is a small gym and the equipment is older (especially the weights and the weight machines) yet besides basic leg machines you can find here everything you need. Since it is a small space it can get crowded very fast especially when teenagers decide to hang out (not work out). From time to time you will have a macho guy with an attitude show up but overall it is a friendly place. The lap pool is nice if you can visit during fall and winter. Once the kids are out- just forget it. I cannot even imagine what the summer will be like. With that goes the bathrooms- water everywhere. I hope they will have the maintenance people visit more often during the busy times. The hot tub is nice as long as you don't have kids making out in there- again- the school months are the most enjoyable. The tennis courts are nice but tend to fill up fast so unless you sign up you are out of luck. I have yet to try the racquetball but am planning on it. As for the staff some are real friendly and nice some grumpy and bitter. All depends who is on the shift. Overall not a bad place to keep in shape.

Kim helped me after my pregnancy to get rid of all my baby weight. Unlike other trainer who likes to just push you to breaking point, Kim understands your body, works with it rather then just trying to prove a point. I was athletic, hard core running girl but there were so many postures and exercise I was still doing wrong and Kim helped me with each one of them. I am so thankful to have come across Kim. She even has healthy eating recipe book which helps us to sustain healthy life style rather then crash dieting. Laguna Nigue area is lucky to trainer like Kimberly.

After doing a lot of research, I decided to try Shamba, and it was one of the best fitness decisions I've made. Coach Kim and her other awesome coaches are knowledgeable, encouraging, and patient. They focus on proper technique while motivating you to push yourself in a positive environment. The facility is clean, well-maintained, and even provides complimentary towels. The workouts are challenging and will improve your strength, conditioning, and overall fitness. What really sets Shamba apart is the community. The members are welcoming, supportive, and genuinely encourage each other to succeed. Training here has inspired me to sign up for my first HYROX race this December. If you're looking for a gym that will challenge you, support you, and help you become a better version of yourself, I highly recommend Shamba.

The number one reason I came here was Coach Kim. The reason…read moreI keep coming back is because of the community! There is something special about Shamba the moment you walk through the doors. First, you get a warm welcome from Coach Kim. She immediately introduces herself and then asks if there are any injuries she should be aware of. This allows her to make any modifications to any of the movements in the workout. Then, throughout class, she keeps an eye on you and comes around to assist you when needed. Second, the folks in the gym are just as awesome and welcoming. It immediately felt like meeting up with old friends. I've only been going there for a short while, and I'm already cracking jokes and complaining about the workouts with the rest of 'em (c'mon, you know you do it too -- but we always kick ass and do the workout anyways, right?!) The programming and format here is exactly what I'm looking for right now. I have done a lot of HIIT-type gyms/classes the past few years, but I'm ready for more strength and conditioning this year.
