    So early.... but so worth it!!!
    Jennie K.

    Fit Buddha is an awesome place and I'm so glad I got the groupon for their spin classes. The location itself is very easy to find- basically just right around the REI. The parking is definitely limited, but it's find when you go to the 6AM classes (I know, it's brutal). Natalie is an awesome spin instructor- she, like other instructors here, measure by percentage of your own efforts. I don't ever feel judged, or body shamed at this place, as we are all here to be fit and happy. The spin classes are 50 minutes long and they really kick my butt every week. I went 4 times this week and now I can't feel my legs. I am definitely reluctant about the price, but I do believe you get the best bang for your buck when you get the 20 classes for $200 package. I'll be coming by more often, in hopes to actually fulfill my New Year's resolution of going to the gym at least 3x a week!

    Filled with inspiration to keep you motivated and grounded...SB Fitbuddha studio!

    Hurting in all the right places after Laura's core and glute-kicking Megaformer Fitbuddha class! She, like so many of the instructors at Fitbuddha SB, knows how to pack in a full body workout in just 40 minutes! They focus on controlled slow movement, targeting specific muscle areas. After going 2x/3x a week I saw immediate changes the third WEEK of classes-that's what sold me! Getting into the Fitbuddha flow can be a challenge since the workouts are intense and I usually need a down day(or two!) between workouts. Luckily they offer classes every day..some as early as 6:10 and you're done BEFORE 7am! Their packages are worth looking into -the early bird is a great deal! The 11 person max allows well trained instructors to easily adapt to newbies and hardcore regulars in a single class. In Laura's class, she was specific on how to increase intensity, either by adding springs or positioning, depending on your experience. The classes safely push your limits and the instructors know how to accommodate for people like myself, who have had back, knee and wrist injures. I was initially intimidated by the "machine" aspect of the Megaformer, but after Marcus did a basic demo my hesitation was put to rest... the middle springs increase the intensity, the solid platforms are your bases and the moveable platform allows your body(core) to work hard to stabilize...while you work your arms, legs, glutes, etc.! I haven't taken a class in the larger Ventura studio, but I've stopped by and it has a similar vibe as the SB studio and some of the same instructors. The relaxed, inspirational atmosphere is what I most appreciate about Fitbuddha, which compliments their intense full body 40min workouts!

    I have been doing SPX at Fit Buddha for only a few months but it is currently my favorite workout. I love that it is only 40-50 minutes long, the time flies!! The owners are very hands-on and attentive to any needs of their clients. The staff is fit and knowledgeable, and there are many classes throughout the day so I can always get in for my workouts. Since I am a body worker, keeping my core strong is very important for my health and longevity. I love Fit Buddha and highly recommend this studio!!

    Lots of state of the art reformers

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.

The Peak 500 Challenge they held last week pushed me in the best way--definitely tough, but so rewarding. And the recent boat party was such a highlight--an amazing way to connect with everyone outside the studio and just party together. Huge shoutout to Tiago for creating such an awesome, positive environment. You can really feel the energy and intention behind everything here. Highly recommend!!

I've never done classes like this and was intrigued as I know a few people who go here. I tried four classes with four different instructors and this is what I found. 1. While there is a circuit of machines and equipment to use, each class is different. There are themes to the classes which helps keep things feel fresh. 2. The instructors are seriously so positive and kind. They helped me with the machines and checked on me during each stage. 3. The people who go here are also so nice and supportive. It can be intimidating starting at a new place but I felt welcomed. 4. Sadly, this is not the workout for me but I really think this is a great place for people who want a trainer and enjoy this kind of pace. The classes went by quickly and I definitely felt it a few days after. But alas, not something I see myself doing. Overall, i think this is a great place for every body!
