I don't know what the best solution is for this but it's a mess in terms of behavior. Nobody follows the sauna rules and brings in newspapers, headphones, food, and one guy even put his gross soaked workout clothes over the heater to dry! Just absolutely abhorrent, inconsiderate behavior. One man recently brought a huge glass bottle inside to drink with the other day, and a few of us were worried what would happen if it fell off the bench. We're all barefoot, after all. Sure enough we all heard an explosion and lots of loud cursing (classy) from the locker room later, and it turns out he dropped it and it shattered all over the changing area floor. A worker gave the man a broom but didn't say anything about why the guy brought a huge glass juice bottle out in the first place. I wouldn't feel safe bringing my kid here if they're so laid back about broken glass on the ground. Not sure what the point is of having a huge rule list taped on the sauna door is when nobody enforces it. People also take super loud phone calls as well despite the no cell-phone sign. Watch your feet if you're in the men's locker room, cause with the rubber mats with holes in them, there's no way they cleaned all the shards out unless they removed the mats and cleaned. And we can all tell from the wet mud stains in between the gaps whether or not this will ever happen...

I love Simpatico. I tried a private Pilates lesson for the first time with Mindy Horwitz (owner of…read moreSimpatico) and have been a client now for about 7 months. Now, I have always worked out, and stayed in good shape. I naturally have a very boyish figure (straight up and down, no curves). After doing Pilates at Simpatico and really learning how to use the correct muscles, I have to say that for the first time ever I HAVE A WAIST!!! No other type of exercise program has gotten me the results I've achieved at Simpatico. Thank you Mindy! Simpatico is a wonderfully clean, calm, nurturing studio. The staff and other instructors ROCK! The Will Power & Grace classes are also amazing - its a nice way to really sweat and burn calories and use Pilates-esc graceful movements!!!! If you do Pilates at all, I highly recommend checking out Simpatico Pilates and Gryotonic Studio in Santa Barbara, CA!!!!

This gym is affiliated with…read morethe hotel I was staying at, The Kimpton Canary, free access with a daily QR code to scan on your phone. I'm an early bird gym rat, I was there doing Cardio at 5:00AM. The 4 days I workout there, at that time there were only 2 people working out and I felt very safe. I entered through a scan from a QR code that gave me a punch code number. When you walk in it is much bigger than it looks from the outside. The gym has plenty of towels, disinfectant spray bottles, vending machines if you need drinks, 3 large restroom and I believe I saw showers plus free Wifi. I like riding the bikes which were on the second floor. I had a view of the entire gym. I noticed people were very conscious in wiping down the benches after they were used. Great Gym if you are visiting, want to work out daily, weekly.

I would rather do business anywhere else.

Currently the Women's downstairs bathroom has toilet water all over the floors due to a leaking "seal" under one of the toilets. So, when us ladies are trying to use the facilities, we are 'strandling' toilet water.

Groups of 5 people will "TAKE OVER" a machine and do multiple 'sets' letting no one else in. Then there are the obnoxious gym users, who think they know how to LIFT weights and SLAM them, breaking the cables repeatedly. They have NO STAFF upstairs to monitor the do-badders. Better go elsewhere for sure.

The credit never applied, and when I went in, I discovered the employee who signed her up forgot to log me as the referral. Instead of fixing their mistake, Manager Russ G. claimed he had to "submit a ticket" and told me to check back in two weeks. When I followed up two weeks later, Russ claimed he submitted it, but couldn't provide a ticket number or any proof. I seriously doubt anything was ever submitted.

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.
