Cora N.

I'm delighted to write this recommendation for Squish Gym. My journey started about a year ago when I herniated a disk in my lower back from squatting an overhead bar. Simple tasks like walking and standing soon became extremely painful. Also, I had to deal with mental and physical battles of not practicing my favorite sport surfing. I was recommended Squish through an old friend and decided to give it a go. The trainer and owner Alex dedicated so much time and effort into my mechanics. He prepared custom programs to my injury and helped me see significant process after four weeks. He also correctly my form countless number of times which made a huge difference. The gym's friendly environment made it so easy to show up consistently and get to "pumping it without pain." After a year of this long journey, I finally able to squat with an overhead bar without pain. From the thing that caused my injury to pumping reps on that same bar, it feels incredible, but I could not have done it without the dedicated help of Alex and Squish Gym.

The reason this one gets 5 stars while the rest deserve 3, is because Doug works the front desk and he's the man. My wife and I have gone to this gym for a while, usually around 5:15am. Doug's always there with a smile - never over sleeps and leaves people waiting outside for the doors to be opened (a regular occurrence at some HB locations), always a warm welcome as you drag yourself into the gym half asleep before work. Ty Doug. I hope this message finds its way to you, and I hope they give you a fat raise. -Eric & Marisa

They have a lot of equipment and I like the Precor elliptical as well as the Octane lateral elliptical. They have classes and the group exercise room is huge! Parking is easy even at 4:30 PM, which is prime time. They have a coed pool which is not crowded. I'm not into public pools or I would go in it. It is a solid C overall experience and so much better than Crunch!!! The music is not blasting, it's actually quiet, which is so nice! The second floor is dedicated to Hoist weight machines and designated areas to do your own thing or work out with others. They have personal trainers who can help design your ideal program for diet and exercise!

I found Ashlee when I was a few months postpartum and not feeling my best. Working with her has built back my strength both physically and mentally. She has an unmatched depth of knowledge as a coach, and is also postpartum certified so has been able to adapt my program as I've healed. Working with her = RESULTS! I also had a spine injury a few years ago, so require some "extra attention" to ensure I don't re-injure. Ashlee watches like a hawk to ensure proper form, but is also not afraid to push me when she knows I can do more! As for the facility, I love its quaint size. It's truly a personal experience, and you don't have to worry about a bunch of people slamming weights or compete for equipment. I could go on forever about how happy I am to have found this place. If you're in need of a trainer, just go! You won't regret it.

I have no idea where these negative reviews are coming from. Life Time in Laguna Niguel is an…read moreoutstanding gym and health club overall. The equipment is clean, well maintained, and there is a strong variety without the constant frustration of not having enough of what you need. The classes are excellent, easily as good as you will find anywhere, and the overall culture on the gym floor is a real plus. People are there to work out, not just socialize. The locker rooms are also a standout, consistently clean and clearly maintained throughout the day, and the front desk team is always friendly, professional, and welcoming while still feeling genuine (even though they are coached im sure). What really sets this location apart is how well it works for families. The kids club is far better than basic childcare, with a wide range of activities like sports skills, art, Spanish, and wall climbing. The pool area is also great for the whole family, with attentive lifeguards, fun family spaces, a separate adults-only area to relax, and good food and drinks available during the summer. It feels like a place where both parents and kids can genuinely enjoy spending time. A few things keep it from being perfect. It would be reasonable to include Parents Night Out in the already high monthly family membership rather than charging extra per child, especially since other Life Time locations do. It is also disappointing that the exceptional basketball courts are gone. Pickleball is clearly in demand, but keeping at least part of the space for a half-court basketball setup would have been a better balance. The old basketball league was a great part of the club, and it is hard not to miss it. We used to belong to the ClubSport Rennissance and it had a lot to offer too - but LT works better for us due to the better pool and kids club, nicer equipment, and more premium feel.

This is a belated review but I want to thank Life Time and my neighbor for giving me a relaxing and…read morefit time with a free pass. She brought me there, the front desk employee signed me in, and we went about our way. There is an indoor pool but the weather was good so we used the outdoor pool, which impressed me. I thought it was fantastic, both for lounging and swimming. With the weights, there was an extensive array of them, at least compared to other gyms. I didn't use the weights due to time constraints. We went to get a smoothie and I thought it was alright but unmemorable. Who even knows why? The smoothie may have been healthier (less sugar) than ones sold elsewhere. Employees behaved in a professional and courteous manner. As expected, I received a polite call and an email inquiring about whether I'd like to join. I was relieved that there was no pressure sell. The aggregate rating is a 3, but I find the gym attractive, so my rating is a 5.
