When I've things to do in this part of the neighborhood I make sure to wear my exercise clothes!…read more This makes me more inclined/motivated to get some cardio movement in. I actually like to workout but it still takes a little self coaxing at times. I like this gym and the staffers are always ready to help. If need be. Unlike some other gym membership experiences I can actually recognize some consistent staffing faces here. So that's nice when there isn't a higher turnover rate as the other gyms. Though I have to agree with some other reviewers. Maintenance of the equipment could be better attended. Especially for such a nice town you'd think they'd utilize the equipment warranties. If they expired maybe it's time for some new equipment to come Maybe. (Included pix of some examples) Just a suggestion or something to look into perhaps. I mainly stick to certain exercises and machines so I haven't utilized Pilates, pool, steam room etc I leave feeling that I accomplished a good workout. I've even gotten a smoothie from time to time as well. When I need a little post workout boost...it's quite refreshing! Let 'em see you sweat! *as per the international La Fitness manager reply. I'd kindly like to point out that it's rather not a "unique", stand alone, or isolated need. It's by my & many other gym members experience here that the majority of equipment might be somewhat functional but a lot of the equipment is outdated and exhibits much wear and tear. For example the older/elderly gentleman next to me had problems with his broken foot strap on the pedal. The staffers should be the ones to put in the requests to the higher ups as they see the issues on the daily. I'm simply informing the consumers and business of my frequent observations and experiences. Thus only took one star away :-) for that. ~B

When I met Betsy, almost a year ago, I had low-energy and needed a fitness/nutrition make-over. She has gently guided me through several obstacles on my journey for healthy living. Without her care and restraint, I would have quit and felt a failure at trying to change my life. Whatever your current level of fitness, I know Betsy can develop a plan that will be perfect your needs!

Betsy Trefren knows her stuff. As a former body builder she is skilled at what matters most with…read moreweight training: technique. You think you've been doing a lift correctly, then Betsy gently tells you to move your elbow an inch back and BINGO you can feel the difference immediately. That's why you get a trainer - to make sure you work out correctly. Her home gym is clean and inviting. She makes sure she is up to date on all the latest types of diet and exercise programs and she'll tell you if she thinks they're right for you and if not, help you plan something that is. She is well versed in workouts plans for mature women (and men) of which I happen to be. Betsy is a warm and friendly badass! Give her a try!

A great workout in Solona Beach! I came in with Class Pass on a whim, not sure exactly what to…read moreexpect. I found an incredible circuit style workout. There were 12 others in the class, and I still felt I got personalized attention throughout. This is a similar class to the Functional 45 (F45) class that is taking over right now. I was impressed that he had the same offering and yet seemed more accessible due to Class Pass. Another perk was the cool people also working out there. I feel like this would be an easy place to meet some fit and fun locals. I'll be back, and look forward to seeing how much the workouts change week to week. While in my first class someone had been there the day before, and so Scott (the trainer) changed her workout to help tailor to what she personally needed. It was a great touch!

I had my 8yo in camps several times with YMCA. He attended there sports camp and they called me…read moresaying he was hit by a baseball in the face. The councilor said they did not provide helmets but did to the other children after the incident. When I arrived my child had a massive swelling on his forehead and I had to rush him to the Er. The councilor said they accept full responsibility. Several weeks later I got the bill and contacted them for payment and Brittney Lingenfelter, Program Director replied this: Good Morning Michael, Thank you for reaching out. Again, we hope Skylar is feeling better and recovering well. Please note that the YMCA does not carry participant medical liability insurance. If you have additional questions or need further clarification, we're happy to assist where we can. I wrote her back several times with question over the next several week and she has ignored every message with no reply. Very unprofessional of Brittney Lingenfelter to ignore our emails and not address the situation.

So I have to update my review to share some info about the FSA/HSA marketing in Stretchd site…read more It's not exactly the full story. They say they accept FSA cards but my insurance (Cigna) did not accept the charge. Then when I charged it to my card and asked for reimbursement they required a letter of medical necessity from my doctor. Then when I asked my doctor and sent them the site and all information, despite they themselves diagnosing me with tmj, would not sign a lmn for these services. I have had doctors sign an lmn before for other things and of course you can ask your doctor to fill one out for anything BUT they have to agree and mine didn't. So before you invest I would talk to your doctor first and get them on board, have them sign a lmn then buy the service then ask your insurance for reimbursement and submit the lmn with receipt.
