They had charcuterie cups, mocktails, different vendors and sign up specials. The owner, Samara, is so kind! It looks like they have a wonderful little community going on here. Parking is also not too difficult. She definitely gave this place a beautiful makeover. :)

I wanted to leave an updated review after being a member for more than six months. I also wanted to…read morerespond to a review I saw here that I personally do not think reflects the environment of this gym. From my experience, this gym has been very safe and respectful for women. I have never been disrespected by any men here. I go at different times of the day, both mornings and evenings, so I see different groups of people, and my experience has always been positive. Overall, the gym is great. I really like that there have been upgrades with new machines being added. It's nice to see the gym continuing to improve the equipment for members. One suggestion I would have is adding more recovery options. The sauna is great, but many gyms are starting to offer additional recovery amenities. It would be really nice to see things like massage chairs, a cold plunge, or other recovery features added for members. Another improvement that could help would be organizing some of the machines a bit more by section, such as grouping leg machines together and arm machines together. Aside from those suggestions, I really enjoy this gym. It's a clean, safe environment and a great place to work out. The staff here are also great and very helpful. I saw some people mention that the blonde woman who works here is rude, but that has not been my experience at all. She has always been very nice. She may have a strong voice and might come across as serious at first, but once you talk to her she is actually very kind. She may just not be a super bubbly person, and that's okay because everyone has different personalities. I would also like to point out that all of the employees here have been nice and respectful. But I do hope the owner see my review and does consider adding more recovery options : ) That would be Greattt !!!

Been working with Veronica for almost 2 years now, and it's been a complete game changer for my…read morefitness journey. I've worked with many trainers over the years, and this has by far been the best experience I've had with a personal trainer. Not only has she helping me reach my fitness goals, but she continuously helps me become a better version of myself. Even with early morning sessions she always has a great attitude and is ready to help you have a productive session! She truly listens to my needs and is incredibly knowledgeable and has great expertise in powerlifting. As a person with a physical disability, I really appreciated that she never shied away from training me or treated me differently. Instead, she took the time to figure out how to modify certain workouts while still helping me accomplish the goals we set together. I also love the private gym atmosphere. I never have to worry about it being overcrowded and not getting everything we have planned for our session, huge plus it's always clean, and everyone is very welcoming. I would highly recommend this gym to anyone, no matter your fitness level or goals. You'll find a welcoming environment, knowledgeable coaching, and a trainer who truly cares about helping you succeed and become the best version of yourself.

Giselle was my first trainer, and I'm so glad I got paired with her. She really knows her stuff,…read moreand that shows in how she trains. She doesn't just tell you what to do, she explains why certain workouts matter and asks follow-up questions to keep you accountable. In under three months, I learned so much from her and felt inspired by her structure, knowledge, and genuine attitude. She's also kind, understanding, and flexible, which makes the process feel supportive and realistic. I highly recommend Giselle to anyone looking to transform their body or stay consistent with their fitness goals. She clearly knows how to guide people based on what they need, and I'm looking forward to booking with her again for my next goals. :)

I appreciated the abundant cable machines and deadlift platforms, especially during peak hours. They have the colored bumper plates so you don't have to use hex plates for weightlifting. I also saw a free standing landmine setup in the corner next to the cable machines in the weight room. The weight room was sizable, but I personally didn't love whatever brand the single decline press bench was, as the smallest setting was too tall for me, lol. This is one of the nicer LAFitnesses I've been to, and I've been going around SoCal trying out different ones. It's bigger and better stocked, and seems more geared towards athletes in general.

I recently became a member and had a disappointing experience when attempting to bring a guest to…read morethe gym. The guest check-in process was much longer and more complicated than what I've experienced at other fitness centers, and the staff did not clearly explain the steps involved. Throughout the interaction, the process felt less like a straightforward guest registration and more like a sales presentation, which was unexpected and added to the frustration. My guest was asked to complete an extensive questionnaire, after which we were directed to an office to continue the process. Throughout the interaction, there was very little communication about what was required, how long it would take, or why certain information was needed. This created unnecessary confusion and frustration. Before meeting with the staff member in the office, I asked another employee (older man, shorter, black shirt , belly, thin hair) approximately how long the process would take. Rather than providing an estimate or seeking clarification, he repeatedly stated that it was not his department and that he did not know. Given his position, I expected a more helpful response or an effort to direct us appropriately. When we eventually met with the other man who guided us to the office, the conversation felt unnecessarily defensive/ passive aggressive. Instead of addressing our concerns about the lack of communication, he focused on justifying the process and made comments such as, "we can't just let anyone in here; there are murderers," which seemed unprofessional and unrelated to our concern. Our issue was never with providing guest information--it was with the poor communication, rude staff, lack of transparency, and the sales-oriented nature of the interaction when we were simply trying to check in a guest for a workout. To add to the confusion, the staff member later acknowledged that a mistake had been made regarding the guest pass on my account and that certain steps we were told were necessary were ultimately not needed. As a newer member, I was hoping for a more welcoming and organized experience. Better communication, greater transparency about the guest process, and a more professional approach from staff would have made a significant difference. Will probably be choosing another gym soon :(

Huge recreation space, so many different amenities to try, overall a pretty nice recreation center…read more After 4 years of coming here to the student rec center at UCR, I've decided to write a Yelp review. There have been so many changes over the years to the gym here at UCR, mostly to try to better the place. They've moved things around, made things nicer, added more things, and overall improved the gym space but adding things like extra power racks and now they have a weight sled on the second floor. Service is generally friendly but usually whenever I ask the front desk for things, they seem lost or they act like they don't care about anything. Overall, I do think that this recreation center is a lot nicer than other the other UCs. Some of my complaints include that they refuse to have higher dumbbell limits, since the highest dumbbells only go up to 100. I know it's not in-demand to have them, but if students need to progress, you'd think they'd add more weights. I also don't like that they got rid of some of the leg machines downstairs and moved them upstairs. By doing that, you're making students become even more lazy from doing leg workouts more often and you've created a chicken leg epidemic! haha If you're coming to this gym from outside of the university, I believe that they have guest passes for $5. But if you're from UCR, I highly suggest utilizing this gym because it's included in your tuition.

The SRC is definitely the nicest gym I've ever been too. They have two floors, both of which are…read morecovered in machinery. They have any type of weight training you need, an indoor track, beautiful pool, tennis courts, basketball courts, and almost anything you need. The equipment is kept clean, and you can use the rooms to do floor training when classes aren't being held. Speaking of classes - they have people come and teach Zumba, Pilates, or again - anything you need. Water stations on both floors, and clean bathrooms on both floors as well. Sometimes the SRC gets crowded, but that's mostly after the New Years. If you avoid prime hours of working out you'll have no problem getting the machines you need. However, even if it is crowded, you'll still get what you need with a short wait time. If you're a student or have the opportunity to use this gym, I strongly recommend it!

I've been a member of this gym since day one, after being grandfathered in from the old location on…read morethe other side of the 91 freeway. I realized I never got around to leaving a review, so here it is. The gym is spacious, well-equipped, and has state-of-the-art squat racks and machines you don't always find elsewhere. But what really sets this place apart are two things that are hard to come by: an awesome crowd and genuinely friendly, welcoming staff. I met some great people here and truly enjoyed training alongside them. Although my circumstances and commute eventually changed and I could no longer make it in regularly, it honestly took me almost a full year to cancel my membership -- not because of the gym, but because I kept hoping I'd be able to stop by again and train with the friends I made there. When I finally did cancel, the process was surprisingly easy (unlike many other gyms), which I really appreciated. Overall, this is a fantastic gym with great people, and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend it.

At first, I missed my old girlfriend (Athletics United) but quickly I started I became infatuated by Ape Arena. Right off the bat they bought all new equipment. Rowers, Bikes, Bars, Plates, Ergs, Racks, Dumbbells, Kettlebells. It is a first class operation. Not to mention they have meals, supplements, and fitness plans to help meet your goals. The owner is a nut. Yes I said it. He is all over the map in a good way. He has unlimited energy. He's the type of person that you wanna be around because he inspires and motivates you. He is very intense and he might be crazy (in a good way). With that said, Chris is the guy you want to train you and energize this group fitness environment. Chris really cares and is so passionate about good technique, gains, health and he loves to yell, play loud music and motivate you. It is a blast. He is in your corner. Chris is a solid dude and you will take the time to give you the tools for your success. Jessica (Chris' wife) also is very passionate about fitness. She is a beast, and has an extra gear and often works out with the group when she is not busy with new clients. Chris and Jessica are an awesome team! It is more than a business to them and they love what they do which makes all the difference. Workouts: Expect the unexpected. No other workout routine can give you so much in so little time. I think the best part of Ape Arena is the family environment. Most people here are not teenyboppers or people that are looking to date other people, they are folks that are established and are trying their best to achieve personal goals and there is definitely a sense of community when we're all working out together. What sets this gym apart from others I believe from what I hear from my other friends at other gyms is our coaches are absolutely amazing. In addition to Chris, you have Malik and Chity (I know I misspelled it) and they are alike in consistency but all have great strengths individually. Collectively they are all professionals and masters of their craft and they all care about you, your goals, and your health. I love the team that they assembled I think I will be coming here a long time because I have so much fun doing hard work and the results I have seen are absolutely amazing. Pound-for-pound I am probably the strongest I have ever been in my life and that's pretty crazy because I was pretty fit in the Marine Corps. You can't go wrong at this gym but I will say things are not easy. You have to put in the work. You have to be focused. You have to work on things that coaches to tell you to do. You have to like the feeling of sweat dripping all over the place. Thank you Ape Arena and all the coaches. You know who you are. You guys are amazing people. You have absolutely exceeded my expectations and I cannot imagine a life without being a part of this gym.
