Let me start by saying that I am not a gym rat. Having had experiences at both Marina and Salinas I…read morewill say that mostly the equipment is newish and in working order. The rehab staff at both sites are exemplary, the pools, not so much. The pool in Salinas has been out of commission for close to a year (as of 4/26), so those of us that rely on aqua therapy have been left behind. When dealing with staff there was very little assistance offered, but quite a bit of attitude. Since it's covered by our insurance, unlike other gyms in town, we'll probably just wait until it's repaired, since no one offered us the possibility of just going to Marina.

Nevermind they don't adhere to their own published class schedules, it comes down to a "take it or leave it" attitude at this place. - This, along with their confrontational attitude, is why my wife and I cancelled our membersiip after being members a very short while.

I can't say enough good things about this gym and if I could give them 6 stars I would. I was…read morereally, really out of shape when I started here. 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!

Finally, something that works! After years and years of investing my time and money in fad diets…read moreand commercial gyms, nothing worked for me until I started training with Coach Art. I am a busy working mom that has no time to train in the afternoons and evenings. His early morning workout schedule works perfectly for me. I started with little to no experience in lifting weights, interval training and martial arts. Despite training as a group, he was very accommodating and adjusted exercises to my limited abilities. His workouts are challenging but he knows how to push me without pushing me over the edge. I honestly didn't care for his combat cross-training class which I would skip from time to time. But now I'm totally addicted to it - especially when we train boxing! Since training with Art I've lost a total of 20 lbs. I'm stronger and more energetic than ever. Poor food choices have been my weakness all my life. However, with Art's guidance I have started to make healthier changes to my nutrition. The great results I'm seeing in my fitness tests along with the awesome members I train with have inspired me to make permanent changes to my lifestyle. I would recommend training at United Strength and Conditioning to anyone. If you've been struggling for results and are in need of some spark in your workout then I wouldn't hesitate to join the team.

I like United Strength And conditioning because I'm getting the exercise I need early in the morning so my day already feels accomplished, class size is small, and I'm getting the right amount of push to watch my diet. I also like that it's affordable. Since I've been working on muscle development I have only lost weight 8 lbs but my belly rolls are gone and I finally found my abs. If you are tired of falling short of developing a routine and would rather dish some duckets out to have maintain your routine, I'd recommend you give Couch Art a call, you won't be disappointed.

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.
