I've gained about 20 pounds and I haven't been able to take it off and not because I've been trying, but I haven't been motivated to try. So I knew it was time to make a change. I walked in there and met Krystina (I think that's how you spell her name.) She was really friendly and motivating, and we made an appointment for a consultation for the next day (yesterday.) I already knew that if I felt rushed or pushed or if it felt sales-y, then I wasn't going to do it. But she was so nice there was like not only zero pressure it was like minus hundred pressure lol. She seemed like she was mainly interested in getting to know me and find out what my needs were. Struggled through the work that we did together, but she was super motivating and spotted me when I needed it. I will be starting with her next month and I can't wait. I know that this is going to be a transformational journey and I don't mean physically.

What can I say about the place that has been my second home since September 2018?…read more I moved to Long Beach in June 2018 and found this special little place right here on Yelp when I was trying to create my own identity outside of being just my boyfriend's girlfriend. To say the Annex has changed mine and my now husband's life would drastically downplay it. There is no where else I would gladly be at at 6:30am except the Annex. Caitlin Hogan has created one of the most inclusive places I've ever spent my time. On days I don't show up for myself, my coach Nic texts me to check in. He is kind, warm, brilliant and loves to make fun of me as much as I love to make fun of him. On days I do show up I know I will always be pushed to be the best version of me by my coaches and classmates, but understood if I just want to sit in silence that day if I'm hurt or going through something. Caitlin also offers meal coaching which has helped get my husband and I in the best shape of our lives (he's lost and kept off 40lbs) and she has shown us the tools on how to continue to take care of ourselves outside of the gym. Caitlin also has taught me how to delay dying with weekly Kinstretch classes. It's a movement enhancement system that develops maximum body control, flexibility and usable range of motion. My body thanks me often when I go regularly and gets mad at me when I take too long of a delay. If you are looking for a new place to work out, look no further. I do warn you, we'll hold you accountable and also want to be your friend, and even hang outside the gym if you're down.

We had Sterling AB as our instructor and he was great - high energy, kept everyone motivated. I will say, the red lights were intimidating at first as a first-timers, but you get used to it. They have a great HIIT system alternating between the treadmills and the floor exercises. You get a WORKOUT! But what is lovely, they give you different levels so you can decide how hard or easy you want your workout to be. I was in the lower intensity levels and because it was my first class with them, I still felt VERY sore the next day, in a great way! The amenities were great - we used the showers afterwards to go to brunch together. They have great shampoo/conditioner/shower gel. And the locker room is spacious enough that you feel comfortable getting ready in there - especially in the large mirror area. This Barry's is in the 2nd and PCH shopping center, so you get 90 minutes of parking for free, which is great for a 50 minute class.

It was explained that a rotation workout will take place, starting from the treadmill to the floor workout, vise versa. Fair enough, I was excited to get it on! All game in!

Treadmill was top of the line. Workout weights were clean and organized Long story short. Place is Clean and hi tech. The people that work here are professionals. They are nice and courteous. This place will give you a workout! I really enjoyed it. Very motivating. Kudos to the instructor as well as the instructor that helped us perform meditation through breathing. Love this place! I recommend. Clean and plenty of parking.

It's embarrassing to admit but before Motivations, I hadn't set foot in a gym before. And I'm glad…read moremy first intro to the fitness world was with Jeff. He's a great trainer who keeps your goals in mind, taking into consideration your strengths and weaknesses. He pushes you, but not so hard that your body will be screaming the next couple days. I have such a good time training with Jeff that I find myself chatting way too much sometimes instead of actually putting in that work! Lol! It's a small gym but I think for people who are just starting out like myself or for those who are trying to become active again, Motivations is a great home gym. Also love how I felt immediately comfortable my first time here because everyone is just so friendly and welcoming. I always leave my workouts with a smile on my face. Yes, it can be pricey but that's because you're working with a trainer who's helping you reach your goals. I highly recommend for gym newbies or people who need a little extra help, especially in making sure your form is correct and to push you to go past what you thought was your limit!

Now, I've been working with Jeff for a year and have loved my time with him. He's incredibly knowledgeable and personable. I shared my goals with him, and he worked to build a specific plan, with dynamic trainings, to help achieve those goals. Jeff is encouraging and patient, but also pushes me and holds me accountable (although I don't always do as many sit ups as he'd like me to!) He's a great guy, who is an expert in his field and I'd recommend him to anyone wanting to up their fitness game.

This review is long overdue but I owe it to the incredible team at Crunch to praise them. I have…read morebeen very inconsistent with working out in my life but decided it was time to get back into it. I was a member of this Crunch gym about 5 years ago and it was just another gym. I didn't enjoy going and there was definitely nothing keeping me there and I stopped going. I decided earlier this year to give Crunch gym another chance because it's close to my home. I nervously walked in and the manager Trent was at the front. He is such a personable guy. After talking with me a few minutes about a personal training package I thought "why not?". I've never been able to achieve my goals on my own so I figured this was either gonna work or it wasn't. He set me up to meet with Ryan, the manager of the personal training dept. Ryan asked a lot of questions that you'd expect from someone you are about to embark on a personal training routine with. I could tell that Ryan really cared about me and my goals and wanted me to feel comfortable in the gym environment. We talked about the training plan that he would be putting in place for me. He's such a likeable guy and made me feel good about my decision to hire a trainer. Ryan is an amazing asset to this gym! Ryan set me up with trainer Richard, saying he'd be a good fit to reach my goals. Richard is incredible. He is made me feel totally at ease the minute I met him. Since I didn't work out that often, I was nervous that I'd be embarrassed about not knowing how to work the equipment or follow his instructions. But I never felt awkward or weird and Richard is a true professional. So good at his job yet kinda makes you feel like you're talking with a good friend. Probably the biggest surprise is the change in how I interact at the gym. I would usually come in, head down, headphones in, not make eye contact with anybody, do my workout and go home. But the people at Crunch are really wonderful! The front desk always says hello and I'm always greeted by name by Trent, Ryan and Richard. There's at least one, if not all 3, there most of the time. And the rest of the staff is great too! It sounds completely corny but they really make me feel welcome and like they are happy to see me. They talk to me like they've known me awhile, and even sometimes ask my opinion and feedback if I happen to be nearby and they are talking with another client. My only complaints (and reason for only 4 stars) is that several members seem to not know how to respectfully treat the weights and equipment, and sometimes drop the weights heavily to the ground, while others do not sanitize the equipment after they use it. They could also use some updated/ newer equipment.

I am about to run my first 10k race in two weeks (6.2 miles) and going from not being able run even a block to this distance, comfortable and proudly, is one of the most exciting milestones of my fitness journey yet.
