I started going to their boot camp classes and was so happy to find them challenging and different everyday similar to what I was used to at OTF. I wanted to write this post now because I was at the grocery store today and the cashier asked where I trained at! I am 6 months Pregnant! It felt so great for someone to ask me that when I feel like I feel like I am carrying an obvious baby belly! All of the trainers are so great and helpful. They have given me great guidance and modifications throughout my pregnancy so far. They make sure everyone in the class keeps their form on point to avoid any unnecessary injury. I am personally very comfortable with weight lifting on my own and joined for the motivation and accountability factor. But, if you are new to weight lifting or intimidated by the gym, the classes are GREAT place to get some knowledge as well.

My favorite gym on the Central Coast! I was a member at Custom Workouts from March to September of…read morethis year. Unfortunately, due to a recent move out of the area, I am no longer a member. This is a smaller-sized gym but has all the equipment, machinery, and space you need. The staff are amazing and make you feel so welcomed every time you walk in! I trained with Marc Gatson, the owner. He kept me motivated and determined to achieve my personal goals. He also kept me on my toes with his variety of workouts, ranging from weight training, circuit training, and boxing. I can't recommend this gym enough!! "Small scene, big results."

I've only been training with Amy for about a month, but it's been great experience so far! She's…read moreknowledgable and fun so sessions are never dull. Communication is important as she'll adjust your program based on your goals and how you're feeling. I went in with having some vague ideas about what I want to achieve and course corrected over the span of a couple sessions. She plans out your sessions for you so you have something concrete to follow on the days that you're just working out on your own. I've definitely been pleased overall with Amy and The Bar as my first experience with personal training. In my research for personal trainers, I always felt like pricing was intentionally hidden and reviews never did much to help in that department (what the heck?). I won't break whatever unspoken rule is at play here, but I will say that it's not cheap. That being said, I do think that it's worth the money especially if you're just starting out and have no idea how to plan a workout and need that guidance.

I've been training with Albert for just over one year now and can say that he is really a trainer…read moreof the highest caliber. Albert and staff are really knowledgeable at their trade. Work outs at the Bar are truly enjoyable. Previously, I had very little experience with weight lifting and was a bit intimidated when going into the gym. I have learned so much and now have confidence when working out on my own. I started with Albert wanting to both lean out and grow muscle. Over the past year Albert has helped me gain strength in various muscle groups, one of my favorite area of improvements is the glute growth I have seen! I really recommend checking out the Bar for personal training or group classes.

I've been training with Sam for about a year and a half now and have lost over 100 lbs in that time…read morethrough good nutrition and training. I trust Sam to come up with workouts that aren't too hard for me, but yet are challenging. He also gives me direction on what kind of exercise to do on non-training days and, though not a nutritionist, he has recommended some great books to help me with my relationship with food. If you are serious about getting fit (whether it's losing weight, building muscle, or both) I can't recommend Sam highly enough. I look forward to continuing my weightloss journey with Sam.

As a women the number one factor I appreciate the most is feeling comfortable and respected, which I experienced with Samuel since our first session. He is passionate about his work and dedication to his clients is excellent. At every session he challenges you allowing you to reach you full potential. Samuel is currently supporting me for a marathon and although I may not be in session he is always communicating for tips and progress. Samuel is the best investment Ive done in myself.

This is a true private gym experience--no crowds, no waiting for equipment, no distractions. Just focused, intentional training. T. Marie is an excellent personal trainer: knowledgeable, motivating, and genuinely invested in your progress. Workouts are tailored specifically to you, your goals, and your limits, not some cookie-cutter program. You can tell she actually cares about form, safety, and long-term results. Oak and Iron Gym itself is clean, well-equipped, and has a great atmosphere--professional but welcoming. If you're on the fence because of the price, don't be. The personalized attention and results make it absolutely worth it. Highly recommend T. Marie and Oak and Iron Gym to anyone serious about their fitness.

The results have been slow and steady and I feel that both trainers listen to me and build a custom workout to meet my goals. The 1 on 1 works best for me as it guarantees my form is good for the wide variety of exercises we work on twice/week. And the fact they are very nice and thoughtful people just makes the whole experience outstanding. I am 65 years old and getting better every week!

However, until I tried C.O.R.E., I wasn't aware of what a trainer could help me achieve by truly understanding the limitations of my individual body and working around them to help me achieve my goals. When I expressed my concerns to Casey, the owner, that I had some limitations I needed to work around to get bigger, faster and stronger, he put me with Kenna, who has a ton of experience and education, and is an athlete with substantial credentials. I have only been working with Kenna for a few weeks and I can already see gains in my endurance and strength. I can see that, with consistency, I will be accomplishing much more. I look forward to every training day!
