Plus they just keep upgrading and updating it. The gym has gotten better and better over the years, and they even just got a cold plunge. Highly highly recommend coming in for a visit.

It is a very friendly, warm environment with great amenities! My dad and I come for lunch often and I play on several tennis teams. It is a huge part of my life and couldn't imagine not having it.

This place is easily one of the best university gyms I've been to! It's got everything you need -…read moregreat equipment, plenty of space, and a really motivating atmosphere. Plus, the recent renovations have made it 10x better. Props to whoever designed the setup - they really thought it through! There are actually two gym buildings, so you've got options depending on what you're looking to do. There's also a pool if you're into swimming, and if you need a run, there's a track nearby. They covered all the bases when putting this place together. One thing I really appreciate is that they let the students run the music - and they crank it. It definitely adds to the vibe, and it's nice to hear that the younger generation appreciates some good old '90s and 2000s music. I just hope no one complains one day and gets it shut down because that would totally kill the atmosphere. Most of the gym-goers here are polite and respectful, which makes working out a lot more enjoyable. It's also kind of fun to see all the gym rats checking themselves out in the mirror - definitely adds some character to the place! Like any gym, it definitely has its peak times when it gets pretty packed. But if you go during the quieter hours, it's an absolute oasis for gym rats. The students using this gym are seriously going to miss it when they move on to chain gyms - they don't know how good they have it! Whether you're lifting, doing cardio, swimming, or just trying to stay active, this gym has you covered. Just plan your visit right, and you'll love it!

My roommate would always workout in the hall adjacent to the massive windows. I'd chill more because I had Ballet daily. The pool is fun bc there are fitness classes in the water, joined in on a handful with my former boss. Guys, the gym membership is a mandatory portion of your tuition, so it's totes worth it to participate. Park off-campus, ride yr bike in orrrrr rollerblade. Makes life simple.

I'm so glad SBCC Track has opened back up to the public! It is my favorite place to come walk, run…read moreand soak up the gorgeous views of our beach, the harbor and the palm trees. The track itself is cushioned so it's not a hard surface that will take a toll on your feet or legs. The stadium is outdated and could use a makeover, but aside from that it's a beautiful place to workout. I usually park across the street in the 90 minute parking spaces. There are several, but I suggest getting there early to get a spot. SBCC charges to park in their lot, but who knows how often the parking lot attendant checks on the cars. I would imagine more so during school hours. But I still don't take my chances and park across the street. There are restrooms on site, but they aren't open all the time. The water fountain is available, but I definitely recommend bringing your own water. Overall, this track is the best in town! You couldn't ask for a better place to workout at.

Every time I come here I think, "Why don't I come here more often, like way more often?"…read more I love the stairs and the incredible views, particularly in the morning if you get here by sunrise. But the sunset is decent as well. The stairs here make for a great workout and are much steeper than your treadmill at the gym. For me (5'4") it's difficult to go up two steps at a time, but very rewarding and fun. When you have ocean air and mesmerizing views, there is no need to do cardio at the gym. If you're a local in Santa Barbara, the SBCC track is something to experience at least once.

Heads up . Women's bathroom only had one handicap stall with a ripped-out lock. Sadly, when I…read morewalked in the stall, thinking it was free, a woman was sitting on the toilet.

Completely agree with everything JJ mentioned below. The baseball team and coaching staff at…read moreWestmont are a class act. I have personally known players there of all backgrounds and religions and they are all treated equally and given a fair opportunity to succeed on the field and in life. If you and your son is considering Westmont know that they are in some of the best hands in the country. Not to mention they play an amazing brand of baseball. Westmont is a tough academic institution and is praised nationally for being so. All coaching staffs on campus take academics very seriously and should be commended for doing so. Baseball is no exception to this and that is why the program now boasts some of the very best people and athletes in the nation. The young adults who come out of this program are equipped to be leaders in the community. If you are wanting some further information on the school and baseball program feel free to get in contact with me directly.

As a 2012 Westmont College baseball alumni, I can speak personally about the program as well. The…read morecoaching staff is top notch, they sacrifice and dedicate themselves to be available for each and every one of their players both on and off the field. Ruiz and the staff ultimately challenged us to dig deeper within ourselves when staring into the face of adversity, to take responsibility for our own actions, and to work together selflessly as a team, which all carry value far beyond the baseball diamond. Westmont College is academically very challenging (in a good way), rated as one of the top Liberal Arts institutions in the nation. This is a review for the baseball team though, so I won't go deep into the academics but wanted to make the point that the coaching staff made sure that were succeeding in the classroom as a priority to succeeding on the field. All of us were treated equally and with respect, no matter what our role was on the team or what our religious (or lack thereof) background was. Westmont is a great place to play quality baseball, be challenged academically, make great career connections, and develop quality friendships with teammates and classmates. Please feel free to message me as I would be more than willing to answer any questions or share any of my experience playing baseball at Westmont.

Unfortunately Girls Inc. of Goleta is a business for profit solely and NOT customer orientated…read more Employees are not passionate, under paid and are only present for a paycheck. I question if some of the instructors are prior gymnasts based on their poor instruction. One-on-one lessons are none existent even though they verbally say, private lessons could possibly be offered. The employee turnover is high and employees do NOT greet clients with a smile. It's a conveyor belt customer business. Girls Inc represent's the shallow society we now live in. Ice in Paradise which is a local NHL ice rink has much more talented teachers, more hours to practice the sport and overall a more professional operation. That's why I'm willing to spend $3000 a month at Ice In Paradise and only $30-$60 a month at Girls Inc. Girls Inc seems to be in decline as their downtown facility closed due to lack of funds to remodel and leadership did not lead correctly in various negotiations. Sad to witness Girls Inc slowly sinking. Their website has many flaws, not user friendly and when brought to staff attention. The staff could care less and response is a smart a$$ rebuttal! I witnessed why staff are paid poorly. Their staff have written reviews as employees with negative reviews of Girls Inc on Indeed. The staff have a bad attitude towards the customers who pay their wages. I find it interesting people are able to login prematurely before registration opens and signup for classes prior to registration time. This operation is unprofessional on many levels. I will NOT be surprised this location closes in the future as the downtown location did.
