    Service and response time is terrible for customers doing personal training as they are way to expensive

    Where do I start... The owner Frank is phenomenal. As soon…read moreas he met me he knew what I needed. He recommeneded the Book Ready to Run from his crossfit Library. I'm almost done with it. I am injury prone and rehabilitating. I was very intimidated by a cross fit environment, but Frank told me that it's like family here and very supportive and he would have the instructor scale me so I don't keep hurting myself. God helped me 6yrs ago to go plant based so the journey of losing 40lb and rehabilitating old and new injuries prior and during Army NG life has been rough. God found me this place to take me to the next level of rehab. I am not a very competitive person yet even with myself. I just want to not feel injured anymore, I'll take sorness over injuries any day. I used up my 5 free sessions today and I pray to sign up Monday with my husband of 10 yrs. Frank says a couple who does crossfit together stays together. In our case God first and then crossfit. I was so thankful that a Christian memeber who was former Army started a conversation with me today about a plant based diet and we exchanged some helpful info then he prayed for me on the spot regarding my husband hopefully joining with me. His wife comes too and I can't wait to meet her. He has back problems like me, we were able to relate in so many ways. I feel so blessed that First City provided the right environment for us to make this connection possible. Another women I worked out today with was so wonderful and she kicked bum and she started talking to me about her being prior service as well. I loved it so much because God new my comfort zone, who to meet and where to start. Kyle, the instructor. Where do I start.. Kyle is out of this world amazing. He put up with me for 3 days straight. I went to 5 of his classes in 3 days, lol. He made sure I knew what I was doing and made sure I was comfortable. He even wrote up my own special work out so I wouldn't be doing the same thing over again. I was blown away that he was prepared for me the 2nd day with a new routine. I love his black lab child Kila who we get to run with on our 400mm. I pray this place will get me to rehabilitated completely so I can stop thinking of my injuries completley. If you go to the same class time every day you will do something diff every day for sure. I was just gunho about it because I'm 33 and I'm tired of wasting time. I have the luxury of going twice a day since the Lord had my quit a full time job. Now I just have to be mission ready for whenthe military calls. I have a feeling First City fitness will get me there. I have a PT test i. Oct and I am so close to getting 300. I have a few ambitious goals but I am taking slw because even if I do y reach those goals I know I will be better off then when I started regardless. -I never have to worry about water they have delicious state of the art coconut filtered water machine that pre measures your water. -checking in is easy, with a barcode on my phone -the cleaning product is from Seventh Generation, eco friendly cleaning spray, love it. -lots of quality fiber neon colored cleaning towels. -Child care available in the morning. The instructor I met in the morning had her 2 children at work with her. She was so pleasant and wonderful to talk to. She answered my questions when I first came in. She made me feel so at ease. She used to work at Monterey Fitness. She said this place jist worked out better for her and her fam. She is incharge of the run group on Sat. I won't be going since I have Sabbath, but it sounds like a great way to challenge ones self since they are getting ready for a half marathon at Big Sur. In the special room: -library of educational fitness books -protein products drinks and so forth -spiralizer available for lending out -First City Fitness apparel water bottles glass -other things I migh have missed:( This place does cost more then other crossfit, but it's worth every penny. 135 for military is a bargin, I'll take it but I would pay full price happily if I wasn't military. Pray to see you there. If you're plant based or plant curious or just want a work out buddy and want to connect with me then come to class, lol. I would love to make some more energetic friends for the yr I will be in Monterey. I try to run 2 miles in the beautiful area there before noon class to warm up, join me:) Then Kyle can work us to death. Just know I'm not the strongest or the fastest but I am resilient and will keep going, so I can give you that:) People from all walks of life come here and it's inspiring and motivating, you never know, you might just find some compition or a friend to keep you accoubtable.

    A few months ago, we hired OffLeash K9 through their "Board and Train" program, for our Cane Corso…read morepuppy. At that time, he was around 7 months old. At the time I signed the training services agreement, there was zero mention of the use of an electronic training collar as part of the program. Additionally, it is not clearly described or disclosed on the OffLeash K9 website that they utilize these collars as a part of the training-- they use vague language to refer to their practices, including the use of "safe and effective methods", but no concrete examples or definitions. I did not discover that they were planning to use an electronic (shock) collar until well after I paid the $2790 for the training program, I should add. Learning this information gave me pause, and I considered cancelling the training, as I had learned through my own professional experience that positive reinforcement training is more effective to achieve results for dogs than punishment-based training. Nonetheless, I was told and encouraged by the trainer (Izzy) that this method was safe, and would not cause injury. Upon return to me after the 2 weeks, my puppy had injuries around his neck which the trainer referred to as "hot spots". The trainer informed me that it was simply due to "irritation" from the collar. The trainer stated at the time of return that our dog was "stubborn", and "slow to learn". Being a Registered Veterinary Technician, I took him home, and I shaved and cleaned the wounds around his neck, in order to better visualize the area. It was immediately clear that he had painful, necrotic pressure wounds around his neck (see photos). I administered first aid, and consulted a veterinarian colleague for further instruction. I am relieved to report that his injuries healed without the need for more invasive treatment--however, those pressure wounds are not a "normal" result of the use of electronic collars. That occurs when the collar is left in place for too long, and is fitted too tightly. This was a direct result of the misuse of the training collar by the trainer. Subsequently, our dog was fearful of the collar, and, understandably, would refuse to allow us to place it on him. He demonstrated very little obedience as a result of his training, despite our attempts to follow up with his training as directed, and he appeared more anxious than he was prior to the program. Both personally and professionally, I was left disappointed and concerned by this program, and certainly would not recommend it to any of my friends or associates. I question its validity, if management is using and supporting dubious communications, and condoning harmful practices. I have extensive connections in the veterinary medical community of the Central Coast and Bay Area, after an almost 20-year career as a senior veterinary nurse, and I have been vehemently opposing and advocating against this he use of OffLeash K9. I have dissuaded clients from acquiring their services. Furthermore, I strongly suggest that trainer Izzy of Salinas be investigated for misconduct, and potentially animal neglect. My intention in sharing this feedback is to make the community of pet owners, whom I love and humbly serve, aware of the adverse effects of this training program.

    Having had previous success for dog training it was without a doubt to choose Central Coast: Off…read moreLeash K9 train to train our young dog.

    Dear Yelp readers,…read more If you're looking for higher conciousness information regarding parenting or relationships, you're in the right place. I came to Dr Arayeh struggling with parenting one 6 year old son, and a poor relationship with his father. Needs were unmet, proper communication was lacking and we were all in a regular cycle of abusive words and thoughts. Throughout 6 sessions of 1 hour, valuable information regarding the fight flight brain, childrens needs, concious communication, mindful breathing, Pause method and stages of change, were shared via the phone videos and texts. All very important information to help love and nurture children (all humans really) and helped my sons dad and I see and tend to our child in more supportive ways. I'd absolutely reccomend taking sessions to improve parenting/relationships, I tell my friends and family how valuable Dr Arayehs info is and encourage them to invest in themselves. Money and time well spent. Thank you Dr Arayeh, we're all nicer and more loved than before. and when I inevitably go back to my unconscious ways sometimes, I dont stay near as long.

With her knowledge and guidance, she taught me how to feel my feelings, acknowledge my feelings, and allow them to move on. I, quite literally, discovered a whole new way to live and interact with the world. Not only am I now my authentic self, but I also learned how to set healthy boundaries. Thanks to Dr. Arayeh, and undoubtedly some heavy lifting on my part, I am now very calm, confident and content in a new life that I am building for myself.
