So this is a pretty embarrassing review for me, but it's absolutely necessary in order to praise…read moreCYB studios. I came in this morning to inquire about classes and becoming a member. I was greeted by an amazing staff, Jose and fitness instructor Corlese. I immediately felt right at home and signed up for a membership. There was a spin class starting and open seats available so I decided To give it a try. Anne Marie had all my favorite jams playing and let's just say in my competitive nature, I pushed myself a little too hard. I felt faint toward the end of class and yelled for Anne Marie to help me off my bike(lol).I had 4 staff members that helped me breathe and come to, providing me with Gatorade and candy to get my blood sugar up. Side note: I didn't eat or wear proper attire. Also add in that I haven't worked out in over two years(hehe). Y'all.. this was MORTIFYING but the treatment I received from everyone at CYB made it that less humiliating. They were kind, compassionate, knowledgeable and encouraging. I'm definitely coming back and I'll wear my name proudly as "the girl who almost passed out in spin class". LOL!!

I really loved taking spin with Chelsea and recently have been obsessed with their hot yoga classes!! I love taking Balance with Claire and I especially love flow with SKYLER!! Highly highly recommend you give them a try, it will change you life for the better!

Going from backaches in second pregnancy to struggling to get myself to even do self care was possible with what all Central Core provides as part of their membership & services. Blessing in disguise are her short routinized pilates videos that make the "workout" habit a feasibility for rat race life I experience! She's also always available to answer any questions or concerns we as clients have when it comes to health! Availability, transparent communication, flexibility, accountability, guidance, recommendation, customization, variety & novelty.. all describe what Central Core offers!

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?

Pismo Beach Yoga was such a highlight of our weekend trip! My husband and I joined the class on the…read moresand and loved how peaceful and restorative it was. Perfect for beginners and experienced yogis alike. Suggested donation ($15-20) is well worth it. The experience of stretching with the waves rolling in is priceless. We'll be back every time we visit Pismo--don't miss this! Parking is easy and free at Fin's Beach Bar parking lot. Walk out onto the beach and you'll see the yoga group. Bring a towel or bed sheet for the yoga class.

To top it off, she even had the most beautiful singing voice that bounced off the chapels walls. The venue had amazing acoustics to intensify the vibrations.

A testament to how easily Jamie made people relax.

From time to time, I'll meet an individual in my life whom I can tell-right away-is going to make…read morean impact on their community. It's just something a little bit beyond words, but I can feel it with my intuition. These are the types of people who become community leaders through the organic development of their motivation, passion, mission and purpose, which are all so clear and so obvious, they create an involuntary sensation of tingling in the body. This is called charisma! Jamie is one of these individuals. You will feel it in every atom of your body through the medium of her craft of sound healing. Be prepared for something that can only be experienced, but not described. Trust me now, thank me later.

We stayed at the hotel across the parking lot and the fact that entry to the gym was included was a…read moredelightful surprise. This place is a real gym- not a hotel gym by any means. We went once during our stay and took advantage of the circuit and cardio machines. We would have liked to do more, but the classes didn't fit into our schedule. The only thing that wasn't very pleasant was the vibe. I got the impression that the people working there don't really enjoy hotel drop in guests. They weren't very welcoming.

Having a few sessions to learn proper form, build a plan, and get personalized guidance is such a smart investment and sets you up for long-term success. The gym is always spotless, the equipment is excellent, and the positive atmosphere keeps me coming back. I highly recommend Fit Forever!

I stand by my review because it reflects my experience. We did not go there with the intention of…read moregetting free workouts. We attempted to sign up and followed the directions we were given. If there was confusion about memberships or waivers, that was due to inconsistent communication, not dishonesty on our part. Saying our "plan all along" was to get free workouts is an assumption, not a fact. We had no reason to waste our own time just to get two workouts. You also admit in your response that I was told to go ahead and work out before everything was finalized, which contributed to the confusion. Instead of acknowledging that there was a misunderstanding, you've chosen to publicly call us liars and question our intentions. I shared my honest experience so others could make their own decision. - it was our first time at the gym and believed the keypad was a form of communication, like much neighborhoods. It was advertised as a 24/7 so we assumed someone would answer. - Emilio, Eric's brother.
