Her classes have truly changed my life. I actually look forward to going--it's become my safe place and my strong place. Dafna is absolutely meant to be a yoga teacher. She's kind, gentle, and knows exactly how to push you in the best way. You can tell she's incredibly knowledgeable and genuinely cares. I'm so grateful to have found this space--it's given me an escape I didn't even realize I needed. I feel stronger, and I can both see and feel the difference. If you're even slightly hesitant to try this studio, just go. I promise you won't regret it. Thank you, Dafna

I had been looking for Spartan prep classes and had heard all over Facebook groups that this NXPT…read moreis the place to go for this type of training classes. It's a little far from me in the South Bay but I knew I had to try it. For parking, the lot is shared with other businesses so when I got there, it was full and parked in the lot down the street. I wouldn't suggest to park in front of the NXPT if it's the games classes since we're using wall balls near cars. When I found the class on classpass for Wednesday night, the name of it was a little confusing because it said "OCR/Games/Hyrox/Deka" so I didn't really know what that meant until I showed up to the class to learn that depending on when the next event is, that is the type of training they're doing. So my class focused on the Hyrox because the Anaheim event is in five weeks. Hannibal is the trainer and he was friendly with a quick introduction and had to jump on a call before class started. I asked around to sign the waiver and got someone to help me. I wanted to make sure that didn't slow me down starting the class on time. Thankfully I do strength training and hot yoga outside of this class so I felt I could keep up but having been to new classes before, they seem to take care of newbies with just a few more instructions. I ended up figuring it out and maybe the style of this gym is no hand holding but I ended up asking other attendees in the class about the structure. Most of the moves in this class were standard but when it came to Sled, I wasn't sure in my form. I'd suggest when they get newbies in these games classes to ask them if they've done anything like this before and if not, show them the proper technique of the moves. That helps in the actual events since form matters and also prevents injuries. Overall, it was a good experience and I'll be back!

Upon signing up, I was really looking forward to it, especially with regards to the nutrition coaching I anticipated receiving. This is a wonderful place to work out for those needing guidance and a boost of encouragement to begin working out. I loved the following: *foam rolling session- empowering *mobility stretches *inclusive environment *encouraging trainers- Sam, Mo, and Ashley! *nice facility *each written out program is "customized" for each person *flexible with my busy work schedule What could use improvement/suggestions: *communication- mostly done through text and last messages sent to owner were not responded to. *follow-through- was under the impression that I would be receiving weekly nutrition coaching calls and a life coaching session. We had a brief call the second week, and I did not feel guided in that area as much as I would have liked. *Would have enjoyed working out on Saturday evening /Sundays

Now - The gym is always in new multiple ownership hands and has been a revolving door for owners since ~2021. Unfortunately this has caused a lot of growing pains. You can see they're trying but just keep missing the marks. The gym is typically unclean. Notifications - They will not cover all grounds... i.e. a text (that people have opted out on for a cancelled class), an instagram story post - when not everyone is on social media....etc. Hours - continuously changing & dwindling - 5am/9am/noon/430pm/530pm/sometimes a 630 could be olympic lifting, could be open gym, could not be a class time... depends on the season and day of the week, for ~$160/month Coaches - Most are friendly & enthusiastic with a knowledgable drive to help. Although once you've been around the gym long enough, most stop coaching you. They become tunnel focused on a few individuals in class. Have had owners & other coaches cop passive aggressive attitudes & comments for no reason. Owners & coaches have been known to discuss business or speak illy of drop-ins, members, previous members, or other owners during business hours & directly in front of the individual as if they are not present. Administrative owners will write notes & keep unprofessional tabs on clients via their Wodify (software program) account to include information about the client's personal life & the way that admin owner personally feels about that client. Owners watch cameras to a neurotic point & if you forget to check into a class...they'll go back, watch the camera tapes & reading the boards (both - because sometimes you might just be doing open gym & not have your name on the board) & then check you into the class(es) days/ a week later.

Renegade workouts feel so good! I love the combination of cardio and strengths to get sweaty sweaty…read moresweaty! This location has some pros and cons. Parking tends to be easy if you're patient with those leaving class before yours. The room feels very spacious and large. The con is that this location gets warm. Unlike some of the other ones that have air flowing, this one feels like it depends on fans, so an afternoon class in the summer will really get your heart rate going because of how hot it is. The format of the workout is three stations- cardio, racks and turf. If the class isn't full, you are able to double up. I like to start with cardio to get it out of the way. The coach will demo moves for all stations beforehand and then signal you when it's time to move to the next exercise. The class keeps a great pace and has you moving with very brief recovery breaks. Weekend classes are full body where the weekday ones have a focus area. Really love getting to come to these classes! They are tough but a solid calorie burn and sweat!

I enjoy coming to the John A. Davis YMCA because it's one of the smaller YMCA locations, yet it…read morestill has everything I need for a great workout. One of the biggest advantages is being able to get in, get my workout done, and get out without dealing with long waits for machines. I visit several YMCA locations depending on where my errands take me, and this location has always been a convenient stop for an hour-long workout. Unfortunately, I've had two separate interactions with the same front desk employee that left me feeling uncomfortable and unwelcome. About a week ago, I was sitting in the pool area taking an emergency phone call. The area was completely empty, and the facility wasn't scheduled to close for roughly another 40 minutes. The front desk employee approached me and abruptly stated, "We are closing, I need to lock this area." To be clear, I had no issue with the area being closed or needing to leave. My concern was entirely with the delivery. As many of us know, it's often not what you say but how you say it. A simple, "Excuse me, we're preparing to close this area and I need to lock it up," would have been perfectly fine. Instead, the tone and facial expression came across as unnecessarily harsh. I gathered my belongings and left without argument, but even the person on the emergency call immediately asked, "Who was that?" after hearing the interaction. When I explained what had happened, they also commented on how rude the tone sounded. I've been a longtime YMCA member and have visited many locations over the years, and I've never left feeling the way I did that day. Then during a more recent visit, I brought my two teenage sons with me. After scanning my membership card, the same employee stopped me and asked, "Who do we have here with you?" while looking directly at my membership profile. My sons are listed on my account, and their photos are visible on my profile. I answered with their names, but she repeated the question louder. I then repeated their names louder as well, and only then did she respond with, "Okay." The interaction felt unnecessarily confrontational, especially in front of my children. They are 15 and 17 years old and more than capable of confirming their own names if verification was needed. The exchange felt awkward and embarrassing, and even my sons immediately asked me afterward, "What's wrong with her?" I honestly didn't have an answer. I want to be fair and acknowledge that I don't know this employee personally, nor do I know what may have been going on in her day. However, after two separate encounters, I do believe there is room for growth in how members are approached and spoken to. Sometimes when people become comfortable in a position, customer service can become mechanical, and the human element gets lost. I would also be dishonest if I didn't acknowledge how the interactions made me feel. As an African-American woman, I couldn't help but wonder whether there was an underlying bias influencing the way I was being treated. I hope that is not the case. However, the contrast between these private interactions and the otherwise welcoming atmosphere of the YMCA left me questioning whether I was being viewed differently than other members. With that said, every other staff member I've encountered has been kind, helpful, and accommodating. The YMCA itself continues to be a wonderful community space. I love seeing both the older and younger generations working out together, participating in programs, and building a sense of community. That's one of the things that makes this location special. Overall, I still appreciate this YMCA and everything it offers. However, these experiences have made me reconsider when I visit. Going forward, I may choose to come earlier in the day or adjust my schedule altogether if these interactions continue. I genuinely hope this feedback is received in the spirit it's intended--not as an attack, but as an opportunity for improvement. Great facilities are built not only on equipment and programs, but also on how members are made to feel when they walk through the door.
