We were drawn to CrossFit Ohana by its name and positive reviews. We stumbled onto it by chance…read morewhile visiting the Central Coast from Hawaii. We were welcomed into the box by owner Darren Savella as if we were family or ohana. We even met his wife, daughter & parents. Had a great WOD and got great tips from coach Vic. In addition to training tips, he recommended a stop to see the elephant seals in San Simeon (which we did & loved!). We really enjoyed the positive vibes of friendly members, the community feeling of CF Ohana, and all the cool Ohana gear. Got shirts & socks as a souvenir. It was a bonus to see Darren do 15.3 with a cheering section of family, members & coaches.

Great box for beginners and advanced athletes. I dropped in 3 times but I've been doing crossfit…read more3-4 times a week since 2014. Also, I travel for work and visited 6 gyms across the Pacific northwest and Vegas so I feel I have range of experience that I think I should share about CFO. It's clean, organized, and has a great perspective on what individuals are trying to achieve. If you are local and thinking of crossfit, this is the place to start. I wish all boxes were as drop in friendly as CFO. It's nice to to see a local success in my hometown and will drop in again on my next visit.

I'm a traveler here for 6 months or so for work. I walked in just to look and ended up signing up…read more No pressure sales is why I signed up. But This is actually a decent gym. Been here 2 weeks and I like the friendly staff and clean equipment and plenty equipment, always available for use. WiFi is terrible though and they don't have filtered water which is surprising for a gym in Cali. Even my gym in Alaska had filtered fountains. Anyway, reasonably priced, plenty of parking, clean locker rooms and equipment and friendly staff. It is suitable for my needs.

For the area it's the nicest gym with most equipment…read more Good staff and clean gym............

I've been a member of this Y for 9 months now and love it. I have utilized the childcare camps and…read moregroup classes to bring more activity to my family's routine. I love the support of staff and the way that other members encourage one another. My child enjoyed the camps over summer and I appreciated hat there were multiple sessions that catered to various interests that allowed her to try something new. Group classes are structured so that there is something available at any time of the day I can make it in. I also love that I can bring my child to some of them. What a great way to incorporate family fitness! I've given yoga, step, and cardio/strength/mind a try. The ease of the website shows which classes are scheduled and despite your fitness level you're welcome and encouraged in even the most challenging class.

The Emerge vibe is phenomenal. Coaches are knowledgeable and the goal is to move with intention…read more The owner is amazing and encouraging. She will give you the time and energy to get your fitness journey started. You can choose your own adventure. If you want to try, but are scared to commit immediately, buy a punch card which allows you to attend classes when you can and get comfortable. There is also bootcamp if you want to get your sweat on. Or you can sign up for CrossFit a few days a week or unlimited classes. It is like a full-service fitness business. If you are thinking about joining a gym, which you will be welcomed as family this is your sign:)

Come visit Santa Maria's newest CrossFit gym. This place not only has plenty of room, fabulous…read morecoaches, but an amazing CrossFit community that helps and supports each other in a positive and genuine vibe. Dropped in today for a Saturday class with Coach Frany and got my booty kicked. What a great class and an amazing support group. I think right now they have $6 Saturday specials so come by and check it out.

Heads-up out of towners, this place DOES not offer guest or day passes…read more Most frustratingly, their website says nothing of the sort. Called number at 5am. No answer.

I was a spinning instructor for 12 years before getting into Crossfit. My wife started at Crossfit…read moreSanta Ynez Valley (CFSYV) first and convinced me to try it. I was looking for something new to challenge me. I never expected this. The experience has been nothing short of transformational. My wife has always been in shape, but whoa! After 3 months she was in the best shape of her life. It has had the same effect on my body as well, but there's more to it. There is a sense of camaraderie that I have never experienced in fitness. It's the only place I've seen where they cheer the loudest for the person coming in last during a workout (aka WOD). There are all types in our Box (Crosffit slang for gym), fat, tall, skinny, old, young, graceful, uncoordinated, athletes and amateurs...and I've watched them transform under the watchful eye of Coach Gio Murro. I've been doing Crossfit for about 7 months. During that time I've worked out at Box's in Santa Barbara, San Francisco, Austin and Denmark. It's great to visit other's Box's but there's nothing quite like CFSYV. Maybe it's because it's in the heart of the wine country, or the amazing equipment....for me it's definitely the people. I still get nervous before each WOD, but I have never felt a greater sense of accomplishment than when I finish it. See you at the Box.

I came to Crossfit Santa Ynez Valley on a whim, having never stepped foot in a facility like this,…read morewanting to step out of my comfort zone. I had no idea the impact it would have on my life. Owner and head trainer, Gio Murru is an extremely knowledgeable, patient, kind and respectful human being. Having had 3 previous knee surgeries, overweight and deconditioned, Gio has taught me that any exercise or movement can be tailored/modified to my needs while still allowing room for growth and improvement. At only 5 months in, my knee (s) feel stronger than ever (even when active in cross country/track & field) and I am overall an improved version of me. Each workout and time spent at the box provides a powerful way for me to actively participate in my own health care and recovery while minimizing pain and having FUN! Forever grateful to Gio Murru and Crossfit Santa Ynez Valley.

So, anyone that knows me knows that working out is NOT my thing...until I found Dave at Griffin!…read more I've been going here for a year now and it's the longest commitment to my health I've EVER kept! I never dread waking up to work out. I go 3x a week. Dave is an amazing trainer who really knows his stuff! Super motivating and encouraging. He listens to you and adjusts his workouts if you have anything going on with your body that might keep you from doing everything he wants you to do. The owner and his wife of Griffin, Russ and Marissa, are also some of the nicest people you will ever meet! Everyone there makes you feel so welcome which makes working out so much easier! Thank you Dave and everyone at Griffin!

This is a wonderful studio, and I'm so happy that I found it. While I am very active (running,…read moreskiing), I really felt like I could stand to improve my core strength. I've never enjoyed yoga, so I thought I would give Pilates a try. As someone who has never been particularly flexible, though, I'll admit that I was a little nervous. I booked my first private appointment to learn the ropes, and I had a wonderful experience. Andrea is a great instructor-- encouraging and helpful. She knows just when to push me, and she makes adjustments to ensure that I'm not cheating on the reformer (I have one side that is stronger than the other, and she keeps a close eye on my form). I'm totally hooked now-- I've been doing private seasons twice a week for two months, and I've even been in for a group session that I also loved (Kristine is also a fantastic instructor). The studio is clean, spacious, and bright (lots of natural light, which I love). Even in a group setting you don't feel like you are on top of anyone else, and if you have a private session booked while there are other sessions in progress there are two private rooms. The equipment is clean and in great shape, and everyone is very friendly and welcoming (regardless of your ability). I'm just so pleased that I found this gem so close to home!

A terrific Pilates studio. Big and airy with great equipment and top notch instructors.read more
