    12/01/2022 Single Day Drop In Definitely a great place to grab a workout while on my mini getaway from home, not to crowded and able to go to different machines throughout my workout. The facility is such a great vibe to get the workout done. Everyone was friendly and the owner John was awesome giving my Mom and I a run down of the place.

    Pretty awesome old school bodybuilding gym typical of what you'd except near a California beach. Drop in fee was $15 which was very reasonable and I was able to just show up, pay, and get to my workout. Had a great selection of machines, dumbbells, a few squat racks + smith machine, benches and deadlift platform.

    Great gym with no drama.

    Best gym I've been to in years! Great gym with no drama of 24. John the owner is a great local guy that treats everyone well. Staff is super friendly and the gym has a great friendly vibe that people of all skill levels can come and workout. Love this place!

    The gym itself is great, but the lighting in the Group X room needs to be reevaluated. I went in to…read morework out and accidentally made eye contact with one of the LED lights and spent the next few minutes seeing spots like I'd just stared into the sun. Very reminiscent of that Family Guy scene where someone looks directly into the neighbor's Christmas lights and loses their vision. (Star Blizzard) Joking aside, the lights are extremely bright and harsh, especially when you're lying on your back or doing floor exercises and they're directly in your line of sight. I can't imagine they're comfortable for anyone with light sensitivity, migraines, or certain neurological conditions. Some softer or indirect lighting in that room would be a huge improvement.

The manager--who is 27 came across as extremely unprepared and unprofessional the entire time. The interview had no structure, included awkward comments, and halfway through I was genuinely thinking, "Where did I end up?" It almost felt like a joke. To be clear, I'm not bitter about not getting the job; I actually called afterward to withdraw my candidacy myself, trying to be professional. I was told they'd call me back, but instead they said they were "in a meeting" and never followed up, which says a lot. Walking around the facility didn't help either. The restrooms were pretty disgusting. The floor a mess. After reading other reviews, I'm not surprised they're so negative. From my experience, this place seems very poorly managed, especially with someone so inexperienced in charge. Definitely not somewhere I'd want to be associated with.

    What an awesome workout! In just 50 minutes, I got one of the most engaging, challenging (in the…read morebest way), and effective workouts I've had in a long time. I walked in a little nervous -- okay, very nervous -- since it was my first class and my first time ever doing Pilates, but I immediately felt so welcomed. Kristin was incredibly warm and kind from the start. She checked in with me throughout class, made thoughtful adjustments when I needed them, and made sure I felt comfortable and confident the whole time. That kind of attention makes such a difference! The entire class had such a supportive, positive vibe -- no intimidation, just encouragement. I woke up today definitely feeling yesterday's workout (hello, muscles I didn't know I had!) but already feeling stronger and so proud of myself for trying something new. I'm officially hooked and can't wait for my next class!

The Megaformer class itself was challenging and well worth taking. Unfortunately, what happened afterward completely changed my impression of the studio. About 16 hours later, I received a "missed class" email that was surprisingly harsh and off putting, especially as a first time client. I was never aware that I needed to check in on the iPad, and as a new guest, I assumed my attendance was already accounted for. Had I known there was a separate check in process, I would have happily completed it. While I understand the need for attendance and cancellation policies, the tone of the email felt accusatory and unwelcoming. Instead of reaching out to verify what happened, the message immediately focused on strict policies, penalties, and waivers. As someone trying the studio for the first time, it left me feeling more like a problem than a valued customer. Allison deserves recognition for providing an excellent class experience, but the studio's follow-up communication left such a negative impression that it overshadowed what was otherwise a great workout. I hope the studio considers a more welcoming approach for first time clients, especially when attendance issues may simply be the result of confusion about the check in process. **EDIT TO ADD- Was just charged a late cancellation fee, I do not recommend this studio.

One of the standout qualities that I truly appreciate is his flexibility with my schedule. Life can get busy, but he always finds a way to accommodate my needs, making it easy for me to stay committed to my workouts. Beyond just scheduling, he has a remarkable ability to make me feel valued and important during our sessions. His genuine interest in my progress motivates me to push myself harder. He creates a supportive environment where I feel comfortable asking questions and expressing my concerns. What sets him apart is his dedication to teaching me about the machines and exercises we use. He takes the time to explain not just how to operate the equipment but also the benefits of each exercise. This knowledge empowers me to feel confident about my fitness routine, especially for the times when I may not have access to his guidance in the future. Overall, my experience with him has been incredibly positive. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a personal trainer who is not only flexible and supportive but also genuinely invested in helping you acheive your fitness goals! I can't say enough good things about my personal trainer! His flexibility with my busy schedule has been a lifesaver, making it easy for me to fit workouts into my hectic life.

I pay extra for the ability to bring a guest, but unfortunately, it hasn't been a smooth or professional process. The first time I brought my sister-in-law, the check-in and tour took about 45 minutes. During that time, the employee assisting us repeatedly tried to dismiss me so he could focus his attention on her. It felt less like he was trying to sign her up for a membership and more like he was personally interested in her, which made the situation awkward and embarrassing for both of us. More recently, I brought my husband in and made it very clear at check-in that I did not want a long tour, as he would not be signing up separately. The older gentleman in a red shirt told me a tour was still required but assured me it would be quick. I left my husband with him for what I expected to be a brief walkthrough while I went to the sauna. For context, I do not know this employee's name, but during the tour he shared that he "only works there because his kids are in college and you can only spend so many days drinking beer on the beach." That comment alone felt unprofessional and set the tone for the rest of the interaction. Unfortunately, it didn't improve from there. During the tour, he made several inappropriate comments to my husband, including remarks like, "Is this quick enough for your wife?" along with comments suggesting that I have a "big attitude." Speaking about a member that way to their guest is completely unprofessional and unacceptable. Additionally, he brought up politics during the tour, complaining about Governor Newsom and sharing a story about gym members asking him not to discuss politics at work. He said he "glared at them until they got the point and walked away." Regardless of personal views, that kind of conversation is not appropriate in a professional setting. To be honest, this is not the first negative experience I've had when bringing in a guest. Each time, I've encountered staff behavior that lacks professionalism. While I'll admit I may have come across as direct upon arrival due to my prior experiences, I was not disrespectful or out of line. At this point, I'm seriously considering canceling my membership and returning to 24 Hour Fitness, where I've never had to deal with situations like this.

From the beginning, I knew that OTF was a place for people who are serious about losing weight, and getting into the best possible shape they ever could. I've lost a total of 41 pounds - and I've kept every single one of those pounds off for this entire time. I could NEVER have done this on my own. I'm the sort of person who needs help, and a caring PUSH. It's the people who work at OTF that bring me back time and time again. The workouts are never the same, they play energetic music to get you fired-up and moving, and it's a rock concert in there! I average 3 days/week, but lately it's been 5 days/week. From the beginning I bought the Premiere (unlimited) membership package, and I feel great! There's been a marked improvement in my physical abilities and appearance. I feel happy whenever I get to OTF and have a grueling workout. If you're looking to lose 10 pounds, get in here! Or if you need to drop 20, 30, 40, 50 or even more pounds, you really need to get to Orangetheory Fitness! It'll change your life for the better! I'm on my way to an OTF work-out now. I go on Mon, Tues, Thurs, Fridays, sometimes I'll add a Weds, or a Sat. Thanks OTF!!!!! YOU TOTALLY ROCK!!!!
