I wish I could recommend this business, because the members are stellar. I joined in november for…read moreone month and paused my membership due to a month long work trip and the passing of an immediate relative. The owner Emlynn, (whom i never trained with) was responsive to my request to pause and resume when I was back in town, I notified her of this date 12/15. She charged my card without my consent on 12/13 and did not notify me either. I was disappointed to learn of this on my statement several weeks later. I notified Emlynn of my cancellation via text (her preferred comms) and she processed the cancellation. She however refused to refund my month paid $180 for no service. In my contract the membership cancellation policy stands when member has attended 3 months of membership. As i did not attend the gym for more than one month I am unsure how this contract still stands. I am both disappointed and upset by my experience with Emlynn, as membership retention and good business is not the interest of this business owner.

Now, I have always worked out, and stayed in good shape. I naturally have a very boyish figure (straight up and down, no curves). After doing Pilates at Simpatico and really learning how to use the correct muscles, I have to say that for the first time ever I HAVE A WAIST!!! No other type of exercise program has gotten me the results I've achieved at Simpatico. Thank you Mindy! Simpatico is a wonderfully clean, calm, nurturing studio. The staff and other instructors ROCK! The Will Power & Grace classes are also amazing - its a nice way to really sweat and burn calories and use Pilates-esc graceful movements!!!! If you do Pilates at all, I highly recommend checking out Simpatico Pilates and Gryotonic Studio in Santa Barbara, CA!!!!

The Montecito Family YMCA is a beautiful and welcoming space that clearly has whole-person wellness…read moreas its top priority. I was staying near Montecito for a while and needed a place to work out. I'm usually a pretty hardcore gym person, but something about the Montecito's Y website was extremely attractive so I decided to give them a try. I was going to schedule a tour on the site but did not since I couldn't be certain of the time I'd be able to get there. The website was very inviting and said something like "...or just stop on by..." which I did, I was greeted so warmly, and so enthusiastically by the staff (John, along with 2 lovely ladies whose names I did not get) that it felt both unreal yet fully genuine at the same time. The facility, while housing modern equipment, feels like a throwback to a simpler time, with multiple workout areas, some partially outdoors (awesome!) and a great pool that's heated year-round. Every member I encountered offered a warm smile and a hello, and extra touches like a wide array of flowers for sale are wonderful. I was set to be in the area through the New Year for a job that unfortunately ended prematurely. Still, I'm so grateful to the team at the Montecito Family Y for inviting me in so beautifully when I visited, providing all the equipment I needed for a full workout, and for existing as a beacon of community at a time when our world needs it the most.

I don't know what the best solution is for this but it's a mess in terms of behavior. Nobody follows the sauna rules and brings in newspapers, headphones, food, and one guy even put his gross soaked workout clothes over the heater to dry! Just absolutely abhorrent, inconsiderate behavior. One man recently brought a huge glass bottle inside to drink with the other day, and a few of us were worried what would happen if it fell off the bench. We're all barefoot, after all. Sure enough we all heard an explosion and lots of loud cursing (classy) from the locker room later, and it turns out he dropped it and it shattered all over the changing area floor. A worker gave the man a broom but didn't say anything about why the guy brought a huge glass juice bottle out in the first place. I wouldn't feel safe bringing my kid here if they're so laid back about broken glass on the ground. Not sure what the point is of having a huge rule list taped on the sauna door is when nobody enforces it. People also take super loud phone calls as well despite the no cell-phone sign. Watch your feet if you're in the men's locker room, cause with the rubber mats with holes in them, there's no way they cleaned all the shards out unless they removed the mats and cleaned. And we can all tell from the wet mud stains in between the gaps whether or not this will ever happen...

I tried out Fitness19 using the 3 day pass they advertise on their website…read more LOCATION/PARKING: 5/5 Located in a shopping center in Goleta, there is plenty of parking, which is a rarity in the Goleta/Santa Barbara area. CUSTOMER SERVICE: 2/5 A fella named Jake helped me get started with the 3 day pass, then followed up with a tour of the facility, which was a nice experience; HOWEVER, on my 3rd visit, this same Jake told me I could not access the facility since the person that helped me that day (a.k.a himself) didn't process the 3 day pass and wouldn't let me in without purchasing a Day Pass. Baffled, I explained the situation again to him and had to remind him that HE was the one that got me started and gave me the tour. He kept saying "nah man, gotta buy a day pass." This debacle took about 10 minutes, but he eventually, begrudgingly, let me in. I understand forgetfulness and mistakes, but his demeanor and handling of the situation was very poor. EQUIPMENT: 4/5 All the cardio and weightlifting equipment seem to be in good, functioning order. Only con here is there is not enough equipment for the busy times. CLEANLINESS/ORGANIZATION: 2/5 Dumbbells, weight plates, and other exercise equipment are often misplaced, so half of your workout time becomes a scavenger hunt. Bizarrely, there is no equipment rack for the cable machines, so attachments are strewn around carelessly. There's currently a hole in the wall due to members carelessly piling 45lb plates against the drywall. This lack of clean culture stems from the lack of direction from management directing staff to maintain an organized area. LOCKER ROOMS/RESTROOM: 5/5 Very modern and clean area. Definitely feels fancy being in there. OVERALL: 3/5 Fitness19 is a decent sized facility with a similarly decent demographic of members, but it is also clear that a decent portion of this demographic takes their fitness fairly seriously; this can be either inspiring or intimidating. If you are a beginner, you may find the crowdedness, disorganization, and overall culture off-putting. If you have some years of fitness under your belt, however, I do believe you will enjoy the gym (except during busy times: plan to spend at least 2 hours if you want to use any of the free weight equipment)

Signed up for this Gym when it opened many years ago. Went through the akward covid era of having…read moreto wear a mask while working out that they strictly enforced then got a high intensity job that required my time so I feel off the gym wagon. Time passed, I had a kid, decided to get my health back in order. Came in today to make sure everything was in order to come back. Had nobody at the front desk, a nice trainer came up to try to help and realized that they had an old card on file. I also asked to downgrade my membership from the premium that I had been paying for over 3 years without going. Totally my own issue I was asked to wait for a manager, which there was only 1 on staff. Waited, the girl was nice enough to me. Then came the rug pull. If I wanted to downgrade my account I would need to pay for the full year up front. I didn't mind that part, THEN they dropped that I would need to pay nearly $70 on top of that to downgrade my account. I pointed out how I paid nearly 3 years of non used memebership and that just seemed a little harsh. No wiggle room, no ability to talk to someone about it, just a straight fee with no remorse. I informed her that I would just cancel my membership instead and she then said I would still need to pay for another month to do so. Unbelievable. It came as no surprise to me to leave a review (For the record it takes a LOT for me to leave a bad review) to find so many people upset with their poor business practices. I'll be voting with my dollar by giving them none in the future. Watching the owner account pop in to give a verbal fluff and having nothing change is pretty telling.
