If your looking or considering a gym or just a different style of workout! Well look no further…read morethis gym is it! Honestly I've been to other "Corp" gyms and they COMPARE nothing/nada to this place. My story is that I was looking for a gym and was very skeptical of ANY because I was already let down by 4x other gyms. My sister n law introduced me to her gym. I was like ya ya ya ... whatever! Mind you that when I was considering a gym I was already 158lbs and with all sorts of medical diagnosis like diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, bad eating habits and other sorts. I started the gym with a "Try before you Buy" 3-4 week trial offer in April 2019. Hey can't beat that so I paid it. Well a little after doing the trial there was a gym challenge that was starting in May 2019. I went to the meeting for those who were joining the challenge. I could see there were people who had been there before "members" because the were SO HAPPY to be there?! Why are these people so happy! They were very NICE and genuinely cared that you were doing the challenge. It was really odd to me because at the other 4 "Corp" gyms staff and club members didn't give two hoots why you even existed or let alone in their gym. Of course there was paperwork for the challenge to fill out. I declined to join the gym initially because I had doubts and only wanted to do the "challenge". I said if this gym can prove to me that they aren't like any other then I'll join , but time will only tell. After the challenge was over I lost weight and I was impressed with what this gym had to offer me and joined the gym. This is a new lifestyle of health , food habits and a new love for myself. Well from April to now Sept 2019. I'm at 141lbs and still reaching for a realistic goal and all medical numbers have gone down! Ya! I have two 5k's under my belt and signing up for more. Weekly runs with awesome people that I genuinely like to be around. This gym is really like a family all ages and all sizes. Literally there is NO Judgement here ,but you will get a lot of ENCOURAGEMENT from all members , coaches and the owner himself. Give this place a try and you to will be hash tagging #love_my_fit_fam Call today you won't regret it.

181 fitness has been the best investment I've made for myself this past year. After having my twins…read moreI didn't know if I was ever going to get back to my previous fitness level. I tried popular home workout plans and bought a membership to a big box gym, but it wasn't long before I dreaded my workouts due to lack of direction and minimal progress. I can confidently say that I have exceeded any fitness expectations that I previously set for myself, all because of the trainers at 181 Fitness, who are extremely knowledgeable and truly CARE about each client. They work with all fitness levels, to make the workouts work for you, not the reverse. If something doesn't feel right, I let one of the trainers know, and without hesitation they switch it out for a different exercise. Since joining 181, I now feel like each one of my workouts is well thought out and has a purpose. Can't recommend it highly enough!

I've been working out at 181 Fitness for a little less than a year now and these guys are amazing!…read moreI am a busy dude, so when it comes to working out, I look for three things 1) Tell me what to do 2) Make sure I am doing it right 3) Keep me motivated to come back The classes that 181 puts together are designed and customized for your needs. Whether you are in the group class or the private sessions, a trainer works with you one on one to help meet your fitness needs. They observe your movements to make sure that your form is correct and to ensure you don't hurt yourself while trying to better yourself. Most importantly, the team at 181 is awesome. From Cody, to Jessie, to Tony, to Gabe, they welcome you and make you feel like family. If you've been thinking about "getting back in shape," stop proscrastinating. Make the call, because a year from now you will have wish you started yesterday.

Other kids have the athleticism, but lack the mental toughness needed to take their game to the next level.

I have been working out now 2 months with Coach Jose and Vishal…read more I started with the 6 week challenge where I was set up with a meal and workout plan by Coach V.

If you choose not to read my lengthy review, bottom line Coach Vishal is rude and immature. The…read morenegative review is not based on the services I received but on his behavior after. He began yelling at me over the phone. He was so disrespectful and aggressive I don't feel comfortable being in his presence. He also illegally charged my card. He also responded to this review with a lengthy email telling me I'm tremendously out of shape, amongst other things. Great way to body shame someone trying to get into shape. I made the mistake of inquiring about the "free" 4week booty challenge I saw on Facebook. You can pay $300 for the challenge or $400. With $400, if you lose a certain percentage of your body fat you get all your money back, if you don't you get $200 credit to roll into another program. I've belonged to gyms before but I'm unmotivated to go. I hate wasting money so I figured this challenge would help. You also can't miss any of the classes. I met with Coach Vishal 3/6 to sign up and pay $350, I had already left a $50 deposit. My training sessions were MWF for 1 hour. 3/9 I worked out with him and he told us after he would be out for surgery (why wouldn't you inform new clients of this so they could make the decision to sign up later). So, that Wednesday and Friday he had a substitute. During that week the whole Covid 19 happened. I contacted him 3/16 about my concerns because my roommates were super paranoid about the whole thing and didn't think the gym was safe, since they had started closing down places. He told me as a courtesy he could give me a credit for 9 sessions but he can't force me to workout. I said that's fine. I'll contact you in a couple weeks when this thing dies down (unbeknownst to me). That same week some gyms chose to be proactive and close but by 3/18 they were mandated, including The Gym. (You have to pay $40 for one month to join the gym to do the Pumpz challenge) Vishal did not reach out to any of his students. 3/24 I contacted him. I wanted to know about the challenge. He replied but didn't answer my question. On 3/27 he sent out a link to a free home workout, in case we didn't feel comfortable going to the gym (impossible since it's closed). 3/27 So since he had time to send messages, but couldn't reply to me, I contacted my bank to file a dispute because Vishal could no longer provide the services seeing as the gym was closed. None of us know when the stay home order will be lifted and it's unfair for him to keep all of my money. Anything could happen, he could go out of business, I could move die anything! So my bank withdrew the payment and gave me a temporary credit. Coach Vishal chose to simply charge my card again on 4/8. I called my cc company and they thought possibly I was set up for reoccurring payment. No I signed up for a one time 4 week challenge, meeting 3 times weekly MWF. Classes commenced 3/9 and set to end 4/3. So I disputed that charge too. Well 4/21 I received a phone call from Vishal. He said there's a problem with your payment. I said yes I disputed it after you didn't respond. He said I don't have time to respond to everybody. (But he's posting on fb about how bored he is and what else do you have to do, you can't work! ) I said well I'll be happy to pay again once this is lifted and gyms open. He said no it doesn't work that way. All my time that I put in making your diet (10 minutes). I said well I'll pay you $100 for the one week I attended. He became very irate started yelling at me. I said I'm not going to have this conversation right now with you like this. He said I didn't respond to the first notice (from my cc company) but I'll respond to the new one. I said you also illegally charged my card after they withdrew the payment. I ended up saying do what you have to do and hung up because how can you converse with someone that's arguing, yelling, and unreasonable. Vishal's behavior shows that he's a poor business man and doesn't respect his clients. I've read other Yelp reviews and he even called someone an idiot! I think Vishal only approaches women like this. He talks about wasting his time, but he wants to waste my money. Bottom line is do to unforeseeable circumstances he can't provide the service I signed up for during the timespan I signed up for.

I started going to Club Pilates recently and I've loved it so far! The studio is clean and…read moreconveniently located right off San Marcos Blvd. Make sure to park in the back (make a left at Better Buzz and another at the next stop sign after) to make sure you dont get trapped in the parking lot from the coffee drive through. I've gone to a number of instructors' classes and I've generally liked them all! They all have different styles and means of teaching but still follow classical Pilates principles. Some have more difficult classes even at the same class level than others, so definitely try a few different instructors to see whose style you enjoy best. Some of my favorites are Stephanie, Laura and Thalia. The studio super big which is great when you're in there, but does make it occasionally hard to get into classes. They do have a 12-hour cancellation window prior to class, and spots will typically open up if you waitlist. I haven't had that much trouble getting into afternoon classes. They offer monthly memberships and very occasionally have packages. I personally prefer the class packages for more flexibility but it seems rare that they have them. They dont always advertise it in the app, and I often find out from their instagram. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a Pilates studio!

Update 6/5: The studio director stepped in and resolved the issue, and my balance has been…read moreconfirmed as $0. My last class attendance was Friday, May 8 (I attended only two classes in May), and I had already paid $250 for the month. I appreciate the studio helping me get this corrected, but the cancellation process was still frustrating; my renewal date was 5/22, and although I attempted to call to cancel, I did not receive a clear response until I sent an email. With so many new studios opening up, it also makes me pause and ask whether this membership is priced appropriately for the flexibility and cancellation experience.
