I've been going to gyms for roughly 68 years (when I was 8 years old I would go with my dad to the…read moreLA, downtown YMCA). Over the years, I've been to numerous gyms. This one is by far the best. It's well maintained and VERY clean; both out on the floor and in the locker room. The other members are well educated, friendly, and courteous when lifting weights/doing cardio's. Rarely do you hear grunts, groans and dropping weights. The front counter staff are friendly; both coming and going. The trainers are professional and know what they're doing. I like this facility. How often do I go; 7/7 (except for Thanksgiving and Christmas)

This is a very tiny gym. The strength training area is extremely small. It offers no pool or sauna…read more We went for a few years during Covid because they at least tried to keep stuff clean, but quickly stopped afterwards. The inflated price seems to create extremely entitled, mostly older gym-goers, that hoard 4-5 sets of freeweights at a time, and then hold loud 45-minute work calls while monopolizing a cable tower and glaring at anyone who comes close. If you want your routine to take 2 hours to do half as much actual lifting, spend 20 minutes trying to park, and still cost literally 10x as other gyms, then go for it. And hey, at least the locker rooms are clean. Just never try to cancel. They will call, text, email, and otherwise harass you to re-join every 2-3 months for the rest of your life. And no, they do not listen to requests to stop.

We are regulars at the Carlsbad and Oceanside locations, and have Bellingham and Brooklyn on our list next. We'll keep coming as long as their doors are open for us and hopefully make it to the other locations in time. Pro-tip, their snacks and drinks are really well-priced so if you forget to bring something and you get hungry while you're there, just grab anything from the fridge and they can put it on your tab. Also, don't forget that they have classes and other exercise equipment, and if you're a member, you can go to any of the locations!

Working with Andrea has been one of the best investments I've made in my health. She has helped me…read morestay accountable to my strength training in a way that's both motivating and sustainable. Rather than expecting perfection, she focuses on small, realistic changes to my nutrition that have naturally led to better daily decisions and long-term habits. What truly sets her apart is how she shows up every single session. She meets me with compassion and flexibility on the days when life is heavy and I genuinely need to adjust. But she also knows me well enough to recognize when I'm simply making excuses--and that's when she challenges me to push through. That balance of empathy and accountability has made all the difference. I leave every session feeling stronger, more confident, and supported. If you're looking for a trainer who truly cares about your progress and knows exactly when to encourage you and when to push you, I can't recommend Andrea enough.

Five stars, easily.

I found NCSA online and reached out to Paul to see what hosting a party with him and his team would look like. I didn't know where to start besides offering up if he had any ideas for kids birthday parties. The whole process of planning the party with Paul was seamless. He was extremely helpful and communicative throughout the entire planning process and was flexible with me when more and more kids were RSVPing yes to the party! He ended up securing three coaches including himself to oversee the wiffle ball, soccer and basketball stations. We had 30 kids at the party and all the kids had a blast! We received really positive feedback from the parents on how well organized and unique the party was to have the coaches there teaching the kids new skills while playing games and scrimmages. I would 100% recommend working with Paul and his team for future birthdays and will definitely sign up for the camps NCSA offers during the summer break!

It was so breathtaking I had to catch my breath in between stretching!! Not your cookie-cutter EoS, which is refreshing. The downside? Only 2 racks, layout is a bit cramped. No Cryo Lounge. So, for post workout recovery? Ehhh... you'll have to settle for compression boots and massage chairs, which is still nice but basically, the spa equivalent of a firm handshake instead of a warm hug. Still a nice gym though. Staff is helpful and friendly, parking is plenty.

The staff in the pro shop were very friendly. Shout out to Doug for taking care of us. The shop is stocked with all the latest and greatest paddles, clothing and accessories. There were 7 pickleball courts available for open play during our visit. We played on the 4 courts in front of the pro shop. 2 courts per fenced area with no divider between the courts. Balls will roll onto your court during play, but you knew that anyway. The courts were in great shape as well as the nets. There's covered/shaded seating in this area as you wait for your next game. All the players we played with were very friendly and helpful with explaining how to paddle in for the next game. I hope they're able to open more courts in the future. Regardless, I had a good first visit and I'd play here again if I'm in the neighborhood. Enjoy...

I visited Bobby Riggs for open play and must say that this is a pretty nice facility. However, upon…read morearrival found that the parking situation is not great. There is only a small dedicated lot and street parking. It doesn't help that people camp out in the lot waiting for a spot which blocks the flow of traffic. But parking on the street wasn't too difficult. Check in for open play is in the pro shop which has an excellent variety of all things pickleball including paddles that you can demo for $10. You also need to pay then and there (I wish there was a way to sign up online). It looks like the facility is being remodeled so there were only 4 courts near the pro shop for more advanced, then 2 courts for intermediate. The courts are in very good condition with wind screens and convenient rest areas in the middle. Altogether I had a pretty good time and everyone I encountered was friendly.
