Have been going to this gym for over a year, so this review is long overdue…read more Headstrong combines everything you love about SLO and gym culture. Like most of SLO, everyone is incredibly friendly - from the staff to the coaches that will go out of their way to introduce themselves and always say hi when they see you in the gym. They have developed a community that only comes from continued and deliberate effort. They regularly host events to keep growing this community and you can see its size and strength at the 9am Saturday classes. This gym nailed the warehouse aesthetic while also keeping weight-lifters in mind. I have never had an issue finding a squat rack, which I can't say about any other gym I have been to. The free weights/dumbbells go in to the high 100s, where most gyms cap at 95/100lbs. In the warmer weather the outdoor turf-lined area is one of my favorite perks that I've also never had in other gyms. This place is a gym that's designed by people who actually use the gym and make it a point to continue making improvements for its members. If you need a gym that's more than just a place to work out, check out Headstrong.

Definitely recommend it over other big gyms in the area!!!!

First time at this location in my community. Well, All the owner (Craig) wants is money!!…read moreHe refused to let me workout or do a drop in to his crossfit class unless i purchased a package with nutritional information and an on ramp class for several classes that equal more than $500. Who can really afford this? Even though I have done crossfit for years and even coached crossfit in the past in our local community which I explained to him. DO NOT GO TO THIS GYM! It does not emobodie the mission or focus of CrossFit and is obviously lacking inclusivity, community, or "fitness for all". I was not even allowed to drop in for payment. Shame. Very sad. Im suprised and actually disturbed by this experince. I do not recommend and upset that this is the crossfit experience offered to our local community

What set Crossfit Nipomo apart for me was the personal interest shown by the owner, Josh Golden,…read moreand the relax atmosphere. Eventually my wife also came and joined because, not only did Josh show personal interest in us but also in our son who at the time was only two. What has kept us going is the level of coaching Josh provides. He knows who needs that extra push and who needs to be held back a little for their own well being. I have made progress by leaps and bounds in strength and gymnastics. I highly recommend Crossfit Nipomo to those wanting to lose a few pounds, to those wanting to improve their quality of life and those seeking to take their Crossfit proficiency to a higher level.

Fit Forever is by far one of the most welcoming gyms I've been to. My favorite part is that it…read morenever feels overcrowded, so working out is actually enjoyable. I've taken yoga, Zumba, Tighten Up, and cycle, and every class has been fun, motivating, and welcoming. The yoga classes are especially outstanding! If you're new to the gym or getting back into fitness, I'd highly recommend starting with one of Lauren's personal training packages. Having a few sessions to learn proper form, build a plan, and get personalized guidance is such a smart investment and sets you up for long-term success. The gym is always spotless, the equipment is excellent, and the positive atmosphere keeps me coming back. I highly recommend Fit Forever!

I stand by my review because it reflects my experience. We did not go there with the intention of…read moregetting free workouts. We attempted to sign up and followed the directions we were given. If there was confusion about memberships or waivers, that was due to inconsistent communication, not dishonesty on our part. Saying our "plan all along" was to get free workouts is an assumption, not a fact. We had no reason to waste our own time just to get two workouts. You also admit in your response that I was told to go ahead and work out before everything was finalized, which contributed to the confusion. Instead of acknowledging that there was a misunderstanding, you've chosen to publicly call us liars and question our intentions. I shared my honest experience so others could make their own decision. - it was our first time at the gym and believed the keypad was a form of communication, like much neighborhoods. It was advertised as a 24/7 so we assumed someone would answer. - Emilio, Eric's brother.

I've been working out at Crossfit Grover Beach for a while now and it's been a great experience…read more Ben has been really helpful in getting me introduced to the Crossfit community and the intricacies of the workouts. All of the workouts have been adjusted to my skill level and the trainers have given me the tools I need to reach my goals. The facility is great. Everything you would need (and more) in a gym. All in all, Crossfit is about community and Crossfit Grover breach is no exception. I highly recommend stopping by and getting to know the crew. You won't regret it!

I have been attending classes at Crossfit Grover Beach for over a year. I have certainly enjoyed…read moremy time at CFGB, especially after attending classes at the other local box, Obsidian Crossfit (would also rate them 4 out of 5). The atmosphere is a tad more laid-back than other crossfit gyms in the area. The owner personally trains the majority of classes, and is always available for, and receptive to, feedback. He has consistently added classes (or opened his gym early) when a demand rises from his clients. Crossfit Grover Beach (CFGB) has multiple trainers. Several of the trainers are former clients, who have received certification and now instruct, in addition to competing at an amateur level in local and national competition. These folks are supportive, helpful, and knowledgeable in fitness, nutrition, and general wellness. CFGB does earn a 4-star rating in my book, due to a negative performance in the 2013 Crossfit Open competition. The trainers did not pay close enough attention to the requirements for a complete movement, and their top athlete was disqualified from the open for this reason. That athlete has proven himself this year, and is on the road to redemption for the entire box' reputation. It was a simple thing, to look at the clarification in the rules, and ensure that all athletes met the requirement, but the company has taken steps to ensure better practices henceforth. :::Edit::: I don't know why my location is posted as "Hanford," I live in Oceano. That is all for this edit.

Even though I have been doing Crossfit for 7+ years, Coach Ben was so helpful in correcting and improving my form in several lifts. He is very skilled and notices the details. The programming is fantastic, varied, easy to scale and so much fun. The members are very friendly and welcoming, making it a joy to visit. Ben has a great weekly rate for unlimited classes and they have many hours of open gym as well. If I lived anywhere near here I would be a member. But if you can't join, I highly recommend visiting this gym if you are just in the area temporarily.

I asked him to freeze my membership & I'd pay as I go if I came back. Not only did he not do what I asked & he agreed to but he continued to charge my card $100 for five months after that. I would contact him & ask him to put an end to it & he'd have every excuse in the book like, "oh I forgot." Eventually he just ignored me so I had to dispute the charges. I lost $200 from him b/c of the month he didn't freeze & the last month his card company said there wasn't enough proof even though I have screenshots of him blaming his card company for, "making it to difficult to cancel." In the end Ben made me fill taken advantage of. He likes to act like he's a good guy, but he takes advantage. I regret going to this gym & really want to warn women to not go.

The black card lounge was open, with two chairs to sit in. My only con would be the tv is set on ads, and nothing else. When you're waiting for someone to finish, it can get repetitive. Overall, nice gym.

I decided on their jiu-jitsu (I always spell that wrong!) program because I looked up what would burn the most calories in the shortest amount of time, and it was very close to the top. Little did I know, the workout would fly by, unlike running where I would check my watch every 5 mins to see if I was done! My first class was with coach Fraser, and I learned very quickly that he was very good. Not only a great technician, but also a great instructor. After a few months, I dropped the 30lbs (they literally melted off) and developed a solid background in self defense (something you wont get by bicycling!). A great place to get in shape, learn self defense, meet awesome people, and have fun!
