I bought an annual membership in March 2022 and it has been the best thing. First, the space refresh is as bright and colorful as the instructors. (You can even borrow a mat, hot yoga towel and hand towel if you'd like.) Second, the instructors are fantastic. They are friendly, easy going, and helpful. They will probably say hi on your first visit. Third, this is a community space. I have enjoyed meeting new people and friends through the Body Shop. My favorite classes are Hot 26 (Bikram style hot yoga but w/music, smiles & laughter! Kim, Jay, & Victoria all teach this class and do a great job.), Monique's barre class (R&B and hip hop songs), Estelle's dance class (pop music and dance beats), and Dipali's hatha class (Indian and instrumental chill music). I'm happy to give them 5 stars!

I recently went out of state and worked out at 3 different Hotworx locations. I learned very…read morequickly how amazing the San Marcos location is. All 3 of the other locations had dirty floors, mold on the walls, the entire studio had a terrible smell, and the bathrooms were filthy. While the staff was nice, it was very clear to me they DID NOT have the same level of pride in their studios. I could not wait to get back home and work out at my studio where I know the studio is clean and the staff take great pride in their work!!

Through my experiences with the individuals behind Satsang, Kristin & James, I have witnessed…read moredevoted hearts to serving their community, offering potent & powerful messages through their many practices & extensive education in yoga, culture, alternative/ ancient healing modalities, & ultimately the adventures of life. They have created an adaptive & mobile ceremonial container for people to experience the beauty of cultures around the world. They create a sense of home within a foreign place, allowing you to explore the adventure of life through your external senses & your internal worlds, wrapped in the arms of such care & loving intention. I have experienced many events with Satsang. The Mexico ~ Metamorphosis Retreat was my first international retreat in May 2023. It was truly exactly what my heart needed at that time. It was such a healing experience & so much fun! The perfect balance between play & practice. - Kat Huizar

I've been attending TW classes for about three years now. Their program is solid and varied. They host Zumba, Cycling, step, kickboxing, yoga, Active Older Adult classes, etc. At this location, there are morning classes and evening classes, six days a week. They are $7 for a drop-in or $100 for a four-month unlimited pass. They also provide childcare, which I have never used, but I've heard good things. The staff has always been professional and supportive. The classes themselves are fun and staffed with energetic and helpful teachers. If you are looking for an affordable program for fitness classes, I highly recommend Total Wellness.

There are a few people who try to not follow the mask protocols, but as of lately, this Gold's Gym has done a pretty decent job keeping those in check. Manager has a natural mean face, don't know if he's actually mean guy; just looks like it. Please have him smile more. I would recommend getting a membership here with the cheaper rates, professional staff, and the overall cleanliness of this gym.

To start this is by far my favorite gym within at least a 30mile radius. CHILD CARE!!! This gym is…read morealmost perfect and really has a lot to offer in terms of equipment and space. Huge area upstairs for warming up and cooling down they also host some sort of bike class up there. Also they have two separate rooms for personal training which is great I always find it difficult to work around trainers and their clients so it's pretty sweet they have their own area. Racquetball court and basketball court. A supper sweet outdoor space with sleds and power racks is a huge plus. They also sell some decent protein shakes and bars at the counter. So far I have only had good interactions with employees. The atmosphere is more old school far from a big box gym, very welcoming and clean. To get five stars I'd like to see these three things addressed. 1. Sauna, I typically see it around 130-140 and that's just not hot enough. I'm not asking for 180+ could we at least see 160? 2. No clocks on the gym floor, I hate having my nose in my phone the whole time at the gym but I really like tracking my rest time. 3. No microwave for the public, we all know diet is the most important part of getting that physique we want. For those of us that rush to the gym on lunch or between classes or what ever else we're juggling something to heat our meal prep up in would be incredible.

Anyways, after emailing our cancellation, we discovered we got billed for 7 extra months. Manager told us to pound sand and the fine print says that to cancel by emailing them which is exactly what we thought we did. We don't live in the area anymore. They hit us for $560. Of well, good luck to the rest of the members.

I cannot say enough good things about this place! Phoenix Fitness is about quality, not quantity,…read morewhich is a rare thing these days. For one thing, Rocky is one of the most supportive, encouraging, and positive people I have ever met. She usually teaches the A.M. classes, and really pushes us on the TRX bands while watching our form. Sharee runs the afternoon TRX along with Rocky or Georgie and has a different routine, which helps switch things up. She is really good with instruction, especially for beginners. I love the TRX classes here and always leave drenched in sweat. What a way to start your day! I've been meaning to take their Boot Camp and Mobility classes, but life gets in the way. I hear they are just as awesome as the TRX classes, though. They also offer Zumba and Yoga during the week. Zumba is offered every day of the week, except for Sundays. Sylvia and Julianna know how to shake it! I tend to run into things and people, but it's still fun. Not only is all the staff friendly and helpful and super awesome, but the members are as well. They have become my support group in my quest for a healthier life, and help push me when I want to give up. I have a lot of fun and am working toward my fitness goals at the same time! I love this place!

I decided to sign up for personal training sessions to help with getting toned after having a baby. The sessions were good but I felt like it really wasn't geared towards post natal clients. I signed up for sessions 6 weeks before our out of state moved (never moved that far before!) I paid for my last 4 sessions up front and ended up missing two because of the move and was out $80. I suppose that was my fault but still wan't too happy about losing the cost of two workout session. If I was told up front there was no refunds I probably would have tried harder to to make those sessions before my big move or I wouldn't have paid for 4 upfront! I wish more would have been explained to me!
