I've never been a gym rat, always an athlete. Explicit Fitness has become a team oriented…read moreatmosphere of a gym for me. Everyone has a different story, comes from different sectors in the workforce, and a lot of different personalities. All that being said, when you walk thru the door it seems as though you are transported to all having the common goal of finding a safe place to equally work on our own personal goals while cheering on and helping each other. It's always lighthearted and fun, and whatever area you want to grow in in life there's someone there to help you. Rachel has done an excellent job of making the gym relaxed enough that you don't feel judge and intense enough to kick your butt to hit your goals. She also makes sure you feel like family, always checking in with your gym goals and personal goals. Ensuring you that she's there to help you grow and be supported. The gym is full of all different personalities, gym faces, and gym goals but we're all a family. A lot of gyms are intimidating or you feel judged, and at explicit Rachel makes sure everyone is welcome. You just have to come and meet the crew there's always get togethers, be it holiday parties, birthdays, pickleball meet ups, hiking, or out right spartan races... the whole group comes to what they have time for and no one JUDGES. You want a trainer that pushes you to your goals, listens to you with intention, and makes you feel like you can be yourself... come see Rachel. The nicest kickass trainer you are ever gonna meet!!! Want a gym where you can have resting bitch face cuz it's early, or stare off like deer caught in headlights cuz the workout is kicking your ass... and NO ONE JUDGES you... come to Explicit fitness Laguna Niguel!!! Lastly did I mention the music is popping off... well there's that too. Hope to see you there!

But since I've been going to the gym for 3 years now here are some critiques The hip thrust machine always has a line. Please invest in another hip thrust machine or two because it truly is one of the most popular machines for the girls. There is only one smith machine. There is always a line for the smith machine as well. I've also had a lot of issues with people placing their stuff on equipment and walking away like that claims the machine. There needs to be a sign that says you can't put your stuff on an equipment and walking away for 10 mins. It's very frustrating for a mom that only has a certain amount of time to workout while my kid is in daycare. My app has not worked to make a daycare appointment for months. I've mentioned this several times and the management needs to help the daycare with this issue. The daycare hours have made me truly considering canceling and going to lifetime since that is honestly the only reason I go to this gym. They should be open on sundays and not have a 4 hour gap in the middle of the day.

If you're looking for a gym where equipment is constantly taken up by people filming content…read moreinstead of actually working out, this is the place for you. Trying to cancel a membership here has been a nightmare. I reached out multiple times over the course of months with no response, yet continued to be charged. Getting in touch with customer service is nearly impossible, and when you do, nothing gets resolved. Between the overcrowding, lack of available equipment, and the complete failure in basic customer service, this has easily been the worst gym experience I've ever had. Save yourself the frustration and go somewhere that actually values its members. I'd genuinely rather work out in a park than deal with this again.

I've taken about 3 of the HIIT Strength and Conditioning class. Modern Fitness is located at the…read moreend of a business plaza. It's pretty small space that is separated to 3 main areas: front stretching area and two rooms that are used for the gym sessions. There are little cubicles in the hallway to stow your stuff and a small recovery room and bathroom. Everything was very clean and towels are provided. The class is about roughly a 35-40 minute class. There are multiple stations where you do 2 sets of 45 seconds and as many reps as possible in that time. You rotate through quite a few stations. Overall, it is a pretty good workout. It's not the hardest HIIT class I've been to, but I like it for one big reason and the main reason for the 5 stars: the machines. I've been to many different style HIIT classes and this is the only one that has machines incorporated for isolations. From a bicep curl machine, hip thrust machine, leg curl machines, smith machine, and my favorite: the leg press. I don't have room for a leg press at my home gym so this was nice to use again. Lu, the owner/trainee, does a great job and not only remembering everyone's names, but capabilities. He also does a great job bouncing around help setting up machines and correcting form while the workout is going on. I have 2 minor negatives: 1: I'm not a fan of at the rack with the bar for bench press you start from the safeties. I get why they do it for more efficiency when switching between people, but much rather start from the J cups. 2: stretching is not built in so you have to get here early and stretch on your own. Overall, I've added this gym to my regular rotation of gyms I go to for HIIT classes each week, not really for the difficulty but for the incorporation of the machines into it. I still get a good workout, my HR just isn't as high as other gyms. The culture seems pretty good as regular members seem to know each other well and Lu knows each person well. Would recommend if you live close.

The gym itself is clean, spacious, and laid out perfectly -- nothing feels cramped or poorly placed. Everyone who goes here is actually there to work out. People are kind, respectful, and courteous, and you don't deal with the space-hogging or awkward gym behavior you see elsewhere. As a mom, the 24-hour access is everything. On days when you can't commit to a specific time due to all the different schedules kids have but still need to get your workout in, it's a total game changer. The equipment is truly top-tier -- honestly the best I've seen, and I've been to a lot of gyms over the years. You can tell real thought went into what they offer. On top of all of that, Ashley, the manager, is incredible. She is so kind, caring, and courteous, and truly exceeds expectations as a manager. She's also extremely responsive and makes you feel genuinely supported, which adds so much to the overall experience. I'm genuinely obsessed with this place. It is 100% worth the price, and I continue to be impressed every time I walk in.

Stayed here overnight and this hotel does NOT disappoint!…read more I came here a couple years earlier for an overnight stay, just like this trip I went on. Instead on this trip, I had a free room available in my account, which I wanted to redeem before expiring. First of all, the front desk people are very sweet and were very knowledgeable about the hotel and the amenities included. It was also around $35 for overnight parking, which I guess was okay considering I was only staying one night. The parking garage is adjacent to the hotel. Couple of the reasons I came is for the swimming pool and the gym. It seems this is what the hotel revolves around; that and the kid care. Entering into the hotel room, it was super clean and very nice. They have a no-smoking policy in the room, which I love because certain hotels don't have that kind of policy and the rooms smells horrible. When I woke up in the morning, I had a view of the pool and spa. It seemed there was a class in the pool and it looked really fun and I didn't know they had classes. Unfortunately, I didn't have any time to see the gym, but I will my next trip to this hotel. Next time I head to this hotel, I'll have more to review but for now, this is all I have to say. Thank you, Marriott!
