Stair stepper never works, neither of the ellipticals worked last time, only one out of 3 treadmills works properly. The other 2 don't incline. Maybe you should invest in new equipment? I come in with a day pass when we are in town and have noticed for the past year at least that the tile is coming up on the carpet in the weight room. Are you ever going to fix it??? Or are you going to wait til someone trips over it with weights and gets seriously injured? I Will never come back here and am shocked they still have members when they're obviously not getting their money worth with working equipment and a safe workout room.

We are not just numbers like regular ole gyms. Coaches greet us by names, ask us questions & really want to know how we are doing. Coaches will text you through out the week to check in. I started not being able to do one burpee my first day, 6 weeks later I am amazed on how I have improved- burpees , running, pushups ., etc . Coaches are there working out besides you while checking out your form & giving you advice & the motivation you need. Also the best part is you can bring your kids. I had my9 year old and my 3 month old where I can see them. It's hard to find a place where children are welcomed at a small age. Ladies!!& men! Highly recommend it here. Check it out !

I moved to the high desert and couldn't find a kickboxing gym near me. I found this place on a FB ad so I decided to give it a try. I started my journey here back in 3/21/2022 and my official work outs started 3/28/2022. I started with their 21 day detox program and lost 10 lbs! I manage to keep that 10 lbs off and in June I am started their 20 lb lost program. What I like about this gym is that they are honest. You get what you put into it. They do provide you the tools and supplements should you follow it. The nutrition guide, yes you should follow. The supplements are your choice. It's expensive so if you are on budget, you can find other options that work for you but so far I do like a few things above gotten there so far. I also am a person that likes convenience - aka I'm lazy so buying there is easier for me! Everyone is friendly, from staff to the members. I have enjoyed my time here. I am only 2 weeks into my current challenge and at a lost of a total of 15 lbs since I've started my journey here. What I can attest to is most of the work done is really at home/kitchen. There's a FB group page they have that members share recipes. That's been super helpful! I'm glad FB showed me their ad, I'm happy to have found a place that can help me with my goals!

I knew joining the Challenge, as I've done in the past, is what I needed to get back into shape. I joined the Challenge in Feb 2025 & in 6 weeks lost 17lbs!!! I love the classes and what I like about this location is they have a lot of gym equipment & cardio machines too!!! I absolutely love the style training they offer and am able to workout extra on my own. The staff is nice and owners are friendly and available.

I go home every year for a week during the holidays. I usually get a sign up for a week pass at one of the local gyms, which is what I did this year. I won't name the local gym that I went to, but they did not offer what I was looking for this time around. I'm on vacation, I don't have the self discipline to do a FULL balls to the wall workout. I needed somebody OR something to challenge me...HA, I found it at Underground Fitness. I am a BOOTCAMP junkie, I'm willing to try something new at least once to give my honest opinion. Let's just say that I wasted my time signing up for that week pass at that OTHER facility. I could have spent my entire vacation here at this place. Very friendly spot, I was approached by Caden, he gave me the run down of their facility. Super duper nice, he was in the middle of his workout, stop to assist me and sign me in...then he left me in the care of MIGUEL. Don't let that SMILE fool you, HA-HA-HE-HE-HELL then you find yourself running 2 laps. Yep, that's what I said, 2 laps...and that was warm up. I'm complaining b/c I think that is the most running I've done in ALL year. Hell, that was a good workout, I was ready to go home after that. Short of saying I was GEEKED...kind of...ok, really I was talking so much $hit in my head. This HURT so good, I could not catch breath, I was walking around w/ my hands on my hips and $hit. I was shooting all types of EVIL glares are the trainer. See and my folks think I be talking $hit when I say "I feel you", see y'all I go out and do research for you. I go out and get my A$$ handed on a sliver platter so I can come back serve your A$$ES on a silver plate. PAY IT FORWARD, lol. The workout was amazing, I love intense interval training. From the time the warm up started till the last go around outside I was dripping sweat. That last go around was 7 LAPS I may add and I felt every damn lap. I really like this place for the very inviting friendly atmosphere. No BS, really genuinely nice people, I felt really comfortable as if I was a regular to their facility. Not only the trainers but also the regulars, no intimidation, I didn't feel left out it was as if I was in my own BOOTCAMP class here in vegas. I went to 2 sessions, but now everytime I go home for a visit UNDERGROUND FITNESS will definitely be a place I will stop by while there. Go check them out, you will not regret it...I promise if I still lived in MoVal I would be signing up for a full membership.

The location is a bit shady especially in the dark mornings/evenings. The bathroom rarely had soap. I also showed up for a 6:15am class that was all of a sudden cancelled without notice, but was still posted on the board. My first time, the trainer forgot I made an appointment for my intake and he was a bit annoyed. He also later forgot to send me the diet plan. He didn't explain anything about the program or that I had to weigh in... Whatever, I wasn't interested in that as I just wanted the work outs. The workouts are great, only 30 minutes, so don't slack off. It's a VERY small space for 10-12 people so sometimes the work outs were tough due to space. My biggest issue was the amount of yapping/complaining some of the girls made during the workouts. The trainer does nothing to minimize it and just chit chats with them during the workouts. However this is my preference as I like tough trainers who cut out the crap and whiners.

What makes this better than the gym is you have other group members motivating you, pushing through the same workout you are doing.

The new covered area is now home to 4 permanent pickleball courts which makes for an amazing space for youth who may not have their own nets yet and for anyone to come play in the shade. Yucaipa Pickleball Club reserves these courts for club play through the city. Club hours are generally in the mornings and the 4th Saturday of the month.

Located on the western side of Big Bear Lake, this park is a popular destination for both locals and visitors, particularly those looking to enjoy a peaceful and leisurely walk with their pets, a picnic, or just some quiet time by the water. There is a free parking lot adjacent to the park, but it can fill up quickly, especially on weekends and holidays. If the lot is full, there is additional street parking available nearby.

It's a gorgeous location, and arriving early definitely gave us a head start before the heavier crowds rolled in. The Setup & Vibe * Shade & Seating: There's a large shaded gazebo as well as smaller shaded patches scattered around the grassy area. We were able to lay out on the lawn very comfortably! * Pro Tip for Next Time: Lots of visitors brought Pop-up Ez-Ups or shade tents--we'll definitely be bringing ours on our next visit. Kid & Family Friendliness * Toddler Haven: The park is super toddler-friendly. The local vibe was so welcoming--we even met another sweet family who shared their beach toys with my son! He had an absolute blast. * Water Access: Water entry is located right at the far end by the large gazebo. * Safe & Mindful: Even with paddleboarders going in and out of the water near the entry point, everyone was very careful and mindful of the young kids nearby, which gave great peace of mind. Parking Strategy & Warning * Parking can be tricky! The main parking lot is quite small with a tight single-lane, one-way setup. If you drive in hoping for a spot, you risk getting stuck in a bottleneck behind people idling and waiting. * Best Approach: We chose to park a bit further away and walk over, which saved us a huge headache. Highly recommend walking in if the main lot looks busy! Overall: A fantastic, scenic park with great water access and a wonderful family environment. We'll definitely be back (with our shade tent next time)!
