What a scam. This club tried to scam me for three hundred dollars. I had been a member there for…read morethree months. They told me there was no cancellation fee after three months. When I emailed them in advance to cancel, they told me someone had signed me up for a new contract one month after I'd already been a member there for a month. So they signed me up for two contracts in a one month period, and told me too bad about the first month it didn't count. So they wanted four months of their 200 dollar contract and when I tried to cancel they hit me with the hundred dollar cancellation fee. Scammers. So I do not even want to go there anymore now. They snuck in an extra month to my commitment and tried to charge me an extra 300 in total to cancel. Well send me to collections and hire a lawyer to serve me and we'll settle it in court. Do Pilates, Get scammed. Update: Interestingly enough, I was able to get out of the contract. The trick is to say a few magic words to the lady on the other end of the emails. Hint: expressing that the contract is similar to the R word works wonders. Best of luck!

I was recently visiting Avila Beach and dropped in on a group reformer class with Kristina…read moreDellegratta. Lucky for me the class was not full and I received Kristina's personal attention. The studio was clean, the equipment is new and Ardy personally came over and introduced herself to me. I have been doing Pilates for 3 times a week for the last 6 months at a very large and busy studio in San Diego. Kristina took the extra time to help me improve my form and to better understand how to use the exercises to more effectively engage my core muscle groups. She went the extra mile and helped me with some additional therapy exercises I can do at home for my plantar fasciitis. This studio has a great vibe and Kristina is awesome! I would definitely recommend this studio.

I've been working out at Crossfit Grover Beach for a while now and it's been a great experience…read more Ben has been really helpful in getting me introduced to the Crossfit community and the intricacies of the workouts. All of the workouts have been adjusted to my skill level and the trainers have given me the tools I need to reach my goals. The facility is great. Everything you would need (and more) in a gym.

I have been attending classes at Crossfit Grover Beach for over a year. I have certainly enjoyed…read moremy time at CFGB, especially after attending classes at the other local box, Obsidian Crossfit (would also rate them 4 out of 5). The atmosphere is a tad more laid-back than other crossfit gyms in the area. The owner personally trains the majority of classes, and is always available for, and receptive to, feedback. He has consistently added classes (or opened his gym early) when a demand rises from his clients. Crossfit Grover Beach (CFGB) has multiple trainers. Several of the trainers are former clients, who have received certification and now instruct, in addition to competing at an amateur level in local and national competition. These folks are supportive, helpful, and knowledgeable in fitness, nutrition, and general wellness. CFGB does earn a 4-star rating in my book, due to a negative performance in the 2013 Crossfit Open competition. The trainers did not pay close enough attention to the requirements for a complete movement, and their top athlete was disqualified from the open for this reason. That athlete has proven himself this year, and is on the road to redemption for the entire box' reputation. It was a simple thing, to look at the clarification in the rules, and ensure that all athletes met the requirement, but the company has taken steps to ensure better practices henceforth. :::Edit::: I don't know why my location is posted as "Hanford," I live in Oceano. That is all for this edit.
