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.

For 2 days of usage was $35 which seems like a lot compared to having a regular membership but I think it was totally worth it. The app to get in is very easy to use and the instructions to get are very clear. I didn't know where to park at first but I did find parking in the back alley behind the gym. All in all the one staff member that was there was very friendly The vibe in the gym is a little old school lifting with a little bit older equipment but it seems well taken care of and it gets the job done. There are uses of sweat and wipe down towels which is a nice touch. I would highly recommend if you are in town or I guess a native to Santa Barbara and you need something that is private.

The facility is top-notch, super clean, and set up perfectly for a great workout. But what really stood out was the people.

The workout was intense, well-structured, and exactly what I needed while traveling. You can tell there's a strong culture here and that they genuinely care about their members. If I lived in Santa Barbara, this would 100% be my gym. And anytime I'm back in SB, this is where I'll be training. Appreciate you guys for making me feel at home.
