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.

Change Your Life While Having Fun…read more.. My wife and I are seniors in our 70s, but remain active. I've gone to the gym 3 days a week for many years while she's taught Jazzercise and gone to Zumba classes for a long, long time. But something was missing. Pilates at Tabula Rasa is a kick in the pants. Pilates is meant to strengthen your core muscles. Between introductory sessions and a package of 10 classes for $275...all with the owner, Vanessa (although there are other trainers)... we've worked on things we didn't know existed. - Overall: 5 - Owner: 5+ - Getting Started: 5 - Range of Classes: 5 - Online Management: 5 - Yurt: 5 - Class Size: 5 - Personal Attention: 5+ - Cost: 4 - Location: 5 - Facilities: 5 - Parking in Dry Weather: 5 - Parking in Wet Weather: ? Pros: - The owner, Vanessa Dominguez, is amazing. Her knowledge, ability to explain and pay attention to each person even in a class of 2-6 people is uncanny. Her energy is breathtaking - literally. If we were back in the 1970s or 80s, Vanessa would be on TV with best selling videos. - Sample the equipment in her studio, ask whatever comes to mind and get a feel for what it's all about at no charge nor obligation. - There's a big range of classes at most hours of the day with several highly skilled and motivating instructors. - Managing your pilates schedule is simple, online and flexible. - All classes are behind Vanessa's house in a "yurt"...a big teepee shaped building with lots of equipment. It's actually quite spacious and comfortable with air conditioning and a big fan dropping down from the center. - Classes are limited to 6 people, although most we've seen had 2-4. Lots of personal care if you need it and each session is tailored to the attendees. - Cost is not "cheap", but reasonable - Location is convenient for residents of Nipomo - it's within a mile of Trilogy and Black Lake - and not bad for those in Arroyo Grande. - If you're hungry, thirsty or need a bathroom, she's got feee snacks, water and facilities. - There's a big parking lot in front of Vanessa's house for cars and trucks. Con: - Yes, there's one con. The parking lot is not paved so when the rainy season arrives there will probably be lots of mud. Our weekly pilates session changed our lives. Now all we've got to do is find a good place to park when things are wet.

I found Justin on Yelp in May 2018. I was recovering from back and elbow surgeries and had been…read morehaving a really hard time getting back into the shape I wanted, even with dramatic changes in my diet and a lot of cardio workouts. As soon as I met with him for my initial consultation, I knew that not only was he extremely knowledgeable about fitness and lifting (I myself have been lifting for over 20 years), but that his positive attitude and consistent encouragement were exactly what I would need to get things back on the right track. And, he's not just talk - I see him at another local gym daily putting in the work for himself. That made a big difference for me, too. We have been working together doing 30 minute sessions twice a week for about eight months and not only am I down almost 40 pounds (not accounting for what I've gained in muscle), my entire outlook on life has changed. I feel a confidence I have never felt, and although I know I am the one who has put in the work and has never missed a single session, Justin pushes me EVERY. SINGLE. TIME and reminds me constantly that it's up to me to be the best version of myself. I have even been able to get back to teaching spin classes, a long lost love of mine and a welcome addition to my day job as an attorney! I truly believe I would not be where I am today without Justin, and I could not be more grateful. If you want the real deal in a trainer, look no further!

The positives: - the owner is very nice and accommodating for my unusual request of just a single month membership to keep up my fitness and boxing practice while visiting for a month. - some of the trainers were amazing (others not at all (more on that later). - I do enjoy the no set class times so you can just go whenever you're done with work or need to get to the gym "now" because your motivation may not last. - They seemed to do quite a bit of member events and socials outside of the gym (unsure if that's because it was the holiday season or if this typical year round). - When I had a trainer I liked, it was a pretty good workout and can see why some people enjoy 9Round. The negatives: - the trainer makes ALL the difference. I honestly wish I had explored more of who the other trainers would be during the week vs during the weekends. I started adjusting my work schedule to avoid trainers I didn't like... - If you don't like super loud music in a tiny space, this isn't for you. I'd leave with a headache most days because it was just too much. - This isn't a gym for people who need physical accommodations. Some trainers were better than others, but they definitely didn't enjoy the fact I didn't feel comfortable kicking given surgical metal in my ankle and so it hurt like a MoFo to do any of those moves. You also ALWAYS start in Round One with jump rope... that was brutal. - The class times are really bizarre. They're open in the morning for a bit, close for an hour, and then open again for 90 minutes and then are closed all the way until after work hours. It's weird they don't have a lunch time option given how quick and efficient the workout is. I wish I would have realized that before signing up. - They make you switch your stance all the time (fighter stance to non-dominate stance) and even within the same combo. While I get what they're trying to do (even out the effort on both sides), this lead to me pulling muscles because my form was so off when trying to be SouthPaw vs just staying in my fighter stance. Not to mention it's super confusing to think about it when you're already taxing your system with a hard workout. All in all, I see what people enjoy 9Round and are very loyal to it, but it just wasn't for me. I want more of a mix of weight lifting and cardio and this gym just doesn't offer that type of workout.

There's no class times so you can pop in literally whenever.

All of this while monitoring your heart rate to make sure you are doing so safely! Stephanie the owner is so sweet and has really put together a killer crew.
