    Hands down the best gym in Santa Barbara! Staff and members are considerate, kind and inclusive. Gym is stocked with not only cardio equipment but machines and several free weight areas. Gym is also extremely clean. It is a dream come true!

    Free weights!

This gym is affiliated with…read morethe hotel I was staying at, The Kimpton Canary, free access with a daily QR code to scan on your phone. I'm an early bird gym rat, I was there doing Cardio at 5:00AM. The 4 days I workout there, at that time there were only 2 people working out and I felt very safe. I entered through a scan from a QR code that gave me a punch code number. When you walk in it is much bigger than it looks from the outside. The gym has plenty of towels, disinfectant spray bottles, vending machines if you need drinks, 3 large restroom and I believe I saw showers plus free Wifi. I like riding the bikes which were on the second floor. I had a view of the entire gym. I noticed people were very conscious in wiping down the benches after they were used. Great Gym if you are visiting, want to work out daily, weekly.

    Absolutely love this gym!! My husband and I bought a week pass while visiting from out of town…read more Only $50 for the week and it's a 24 hour gym so we just came when it was convenient for us. The gym is super easy to access with their app on your phone to unlock the door and check in. The gym was always clean and never overly crowded. They have a great variety of training equipment. I can't recommend the place highly enough. Thank you, Key 2 Fitness, for making it possible to maintain my fitness goals even while on vacation.

    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)

    Gym itself is great. The staff is cool, customer service is relatively quick, and the equipment is…read moreclean and of high quality. The value for what you pay for is amazing. However I couldn't help feeling like the gym was taking advantage of me. Their agreements are confusing, misleading, and honestly deceiving. "If you cancel before the one year commitment it's a $50 fee." But then cancelling after the one year commitment there is a seemingly made up $50 buyout plus $39 fee for following months and "processing fees." This company should be ashamed of themselves for their greedy ways and dishonesty. TIP: throughly read the fine prints of the many documents they make you sign. It is not pretty.

    If you're shopping for a gym membership, steer clear of EoS Fitness! I go there for group-X…read moreclasses, which are usually great--unless they're cancelled--but the whole facility is otherwise ill-managed. I've gone to these 3 locations for over 30 years, under a succession of five owners, and EoS is decidedly the WORST. The locker room, showers, bathroom facilities are always a malfunctioning mess. Of late, they can't supply towels, shampoo, or even paper towels to dry your hands. The toilets are regularly clogged and showers often don't work, and they just stay that way. I get the impression that the local staff would like things to be better, but they have no authority to improve the place. All they seem to be allowed to do is apologize or make excuses. EoS, the parent company, really doesn't seem interested in or capable of operating the gyms they own. Now they intend to open a fourth location in town (the former 24-Hr. Fitness on State St.), and I'm guessing it will be more of the same. Their interest is clearly in opening locations, not running them well. Just this June they closed down the cycling studio in Goleta rather than invest in new bikes to replace the seriously deteriorated ones left by Gold's SoCal, and a month later shut down the hot yoga program Uptown. The "new amenity" promised in Goleta is a "Booty Bar," and I have no idea what's coming to Uptown, but the Spin enthusiasts in Goleta and hot yoga folks have been left to find something else--or at least somewhere else-- to pursue their exercise goals. There ARE bikes Uptown, but the room is locked except during classes, and when the instructor can't make it, the students are S.O.L. I don't know about their membership offers because I still have over a year left on a 3-year deal made with Gold's SoCal, I doubt I'll be giving EoS any more money. My sincere hope is they lose interest in this market and sell to someone who is capable of running a gym.

    In my 50+ years of gym memberships throughout California, AC4--Goleta has been the best gym…read moreexperience I've had. For many reasons. Here are a few, in no particular order, but I will indicate when a reason is especially important. This gym is family-owned and designed by Anthony (owner) to accommodate a category of members who need access to weights (free and machine) and workout space, but who don't want to be surrounded by the annoying negatives of the traditional gym culture. I'm there to work out and appreciate fellow clients who respect important gym etiquette rules and the "flow" process--moving from station-to-station without "owning" equipment or seats. New clients are introduced to the gym's rules (see attached photo) to help everyone understand that there are expected behavior norms in this setting, including common sense limits on some types of cell phone behaviors and prolonged "residence" on one or more weight stations. The gym has three main workout areas--a design circuit of machines; free weights, Smith racks, leg presses, stacks; and cardiovascular options: treadmills, recumbent bikes, ellipticals, and rowing machine (second floor). There are two additional workout spaces on the second floor to accommodate free exercise and stretching routines. Three unisex bathrooms, two unisex showers, lockers, two tanning rooms, and two hydrotherapy massage tables. There is ample onsite parking. This gym is a "key-access" gym, open to members 24-7, which is a big draw for me because clients tend to spread out their attendance over the entire course of the day, and there have been no occasions in my six years of membership here that I haven't found space and solace on the floor. Important also: this gym is always clean; the restrooms are clean; the equipment is clean. AC4 employees are frequently on the floor cleaning. And clients clean their own benches after they complete exercise at a given station. Clean is important. On a personal note, I'm a life-long competitive swimmer who needs regular weight conditioning to remain functional in the pool. I need a specific range of equipment and machines to maintain a balance between chest, back, and shoulders. This gym offers the weights and machines I need to ward off shoulder and back injuries from 60 years of swimming. I'm not here to dead-lift 300 lbs and chest-press my weight in iron. Tony has designed an effective combination of machines, free weights, and exercise areas that compliment my conditioning goals. I've written this extended review in appreciation of Tony's business because I deeply value the resources and thoughtfulness of this gym.

    Really nice gym and equipment! I'm unsure if I can use both gyms or if I'm locked to only Calle…read morereal location?
