Dropped in from out of state while on a family vacation. Clean and organized facility and has all the equipment I needed for my programming (if you are powerlifting or Olympic weightlifting, this place has what you need). Customers/athletes always helpful and mindful of others (no judgment, just folks going about their business). Drop in rate is more than fair (paid way more in San Francisco and only needed the neglected power rack in the back of a globo gym, OMR is a god send). Hoping my next stop has a facility and owner just like this one!

I am always greeted when I walk in. Check in is quick. The reason I don't give it five stars is that the equipment in the cardio area has often been broken when I've been there. With the number of members that they have, the gym should keep the equipment in good repair. A year ago, I signed up with a personal trainer to get out of my sedentary pudginess. Although he was friendly, I wasn't making much progress. I do have some mobility issues to overcome, and he never pushed me. After he quit the gym, I got a new trainer, Brianna, a cute, tiny, young thing less than half my age. But I have to say, she's great! She listens to my goals, and despite my limitations, she pushes me to make progress. As a woman, I appreciate having a female trainer who takes me seriously regardless of my appearance. She has always been very professional, yet she has a friendly manner. I like her style! I've noticed that she's the only female trainer there. In the world of macho and muscle in the gym, I feel much more at ease with her as my trainer. If you, like me, are seeking to get into shape, and are a bit shy about being so out of shape, see if you can sign up with Brianna. Get in shape at In Shape!

And I Attempted To Just Cancel With Them At The Gym Near My House, As If The Other Planet Fitness Gyms Don't Communicate, Evidently They Don't. The Front Desk Girl Gives Me The Number To This Gym And Says Since They're My "Home Gym" Id Have To Cancel Through Them. I Call Them And With My Luck, The Manager Is Out For The Weekend And I Have To Wait Till Today, Monday. I Call Them Back To Have An Illiterate So Called "Manager" That Wants To Take Offense And Argue With Me About Her Work Hours, As If I Was Concerned. All I Wanted Was To Cancel My Membership And Waive The Fee Since I've Been Trying To Cancel. But Apparently I Signed A Contract That States I'll Pay Another Month Upon Cancelling. And All She Can Do Is Offer Another Month And Transfer My Account To One Out Here. which I'm Not Interested In Either Option. They're Terrible People That Will Get You To Sign Up With A "No Commitment, No Minimum, Month To Month Membership" To Twist Your Arm Behind Your Back And Force You To Top Up Another Month If You're Trying To Cancel, And Continue To Play Games With You Instead Of Cancelling Said Membership, I Wouldn't Recommend This Sorry Excuse Of A Dump To Anyone.

I have never felt stronger in my life and I've lost 16 pounds since working with him (and tracking my calories) He is also very affordable compared to trainers around the peninsula. The gym is small but has everything I need. There are never more than 4 other people in there at a time which is a big plus for me! At this point, I do feel I have learned enough about weight training to not need a trainer, but I don't think I would push myself as hard if Tom weren't there saying "one more" over and over again. Love training here and I'm so excited to see how much stronger I will become!

Been going to this gym for some time now, and I must say it is great…read more Pros: There are no crowds, ample parking, the place is clean, the music is under your control and the few people there are usually very nice. The place has all the equipment I need (I mostly train with free weights) to work out hard. Tom, the owner is an excellent trainer with lots of knowledge to share. Cons: The location is somewhat hidden, the cost is higher than other gyms, no crowds (if you are into people watching), no showers. I am just a BIG fan of this place. The cost is a little high, but that just means that only people serious about working out go there. I would give this place a 4.5, but since that is not an option I will round up to a 5. In case you are wondering the -.5 would be for the bathrooms not having any shower stalls. Update (11-17-2009)** I stand by what I said before, I really liked working out here, but I was just on the receiving end of a 4 letter word laden tirade from the owner because I turned the tv off. This is something I was given permission to do, but the owner feels that pressing the power button on the tv "broke everything". I follow all the rules, re-racked my weights, wiped down when I was done, etc. I was a model member so it was completely out of the blue for him to call my house to cuss me out. So it's a great place to work out, just be aware you could be on the receiving end of a tongue lashing. It's up to you if you want to stick around after that, I for one am not.

I was very disappointed with the cleanliness of the Anytime Fitness at 1594 N Sanborn Rd, Salinas…read more A gym should be a place where members can focus on their health, but the condition of the restroom made me question the facility's hygiene standards. The shower had visible mold and mildew around the edges and caulking, dirty buildup on the showerhead, stained surfaces, and worn-out sealant that appears to have been neglected for quite some time. The restroom door, sink area, and other surfaces also looked dirty and in need of regular deep cleaning. I understand that gyms get busy, but basic cleanliness and sanitation should never be overlooked--especially in showers and restrooms where members expect a hygienic environment. I hope management takes these concerns seriously and invests in a thorough cleaning and maintenance of the facility. Members pay monthly dues and deserve a clean, safe environment.

It had been about a decade since I worked out daily. Many years ago, I was a devoted Pilates Coach/Ball Fitness Studios fan when I lived in Reno. And since then, I've never found a place I really loved or remained committed to. 2SA welcomed me and challenged me in ways I've never been challenged. I tried boxing and Piyo for the first time, loved both. Amanda's classes were great and she even ran over and held my hand doing lunges so I could get into the correct position. With pretty large class sizes, that really says a lot about the instructor. Most of her students had been with her for years, no other place in Monterey Bay has that kind of cult following this gym and its instructors have. Most people want to work out in a place where everyone looks like their ideal physique, and the people who attend this gym are definitely athletes. If you can get over your own insecurities and put in the work, you will love it here. Lastly, customer service is how it should be. Cancelling is easy. Signing up is easy. The monthly payment is low. There are no gimmicks or upselling or hassles. Just show up when you want to try a class and if you like it, join! Unfortunately with COVID I've been home doing Beachbody. I have a small child and can't make the drive over there for the foreseeable future. If I lived in Salinas, I'd be there in a heartbeat!
