I used to go to Pilates and Or in Santa Barbara, and this studio was really challenging, and I was completely exhausted after class, but I'm sure it helped me build a lot of muscle and lose fat.

In my 50+ years of gym memberships throughout California, AC4--Goleta has been the best gym…read moreexperience I've had. For many reasons. Here are a few, in no particular order, but I will indicate when a reason is especially important. This gym is family-owned and designed by Anthony (owner) to accommodate a category of members who need access to weights (free and machine) and workout space, but who don't want to be surrounded by the annoying negatives of the traditional gym culture. I'm there to work out and appreciate fellow clients who respect important gym etiquette rules and the "flow" process--moving from station-to-station without "owning" equipment or seats. New clients are introduced to the gym's rules (see attached photo) to help everyone understand that there are expected behavior norms in this setting, including common sense limits on some types of cell phone behaviors and prolonged "residence" on one or more weight stations. The gym has three main workout areas--a design circuit of machines; free weights, Smith racks, leg presses, stacks; and cardiovascular options: treadmills, recumbent bikes, ellipticals, and rowing machine (second floor). There are two additional workout spaces on the second floor to accommodate free exercise and stretching routines. Three unisex bathrooms, two unisex showers, lockers, two tanning rooms, and two hydrotherapy massage tables. There is ample onsite parking. This gym is a "key-access" gym, open to members 24-7, which is a big draw for me because clients tend to spread out their attendance over the entire course of the day, and there have been no occasions in my six years of membership here that I haven't found space and solace on the floor. Important also: this gym is always clean; the restrooms are clean; the equipment is clean. AC4 employees are frequently on the floor cleaning. And clients clean their own benches after they complete exercise at a given station. Clean is important. On a personal note, I'm a life-long competitive swimmer who needs regular weight conditioning to remain functional in the pool. I need a specific range of equipment and machines to maintain a balance between chest, back, and shoulders. This gym offers the weights and machines I need to ward off shoulder and back injuries from 60 years of swimming. I'm not here to dead-lift 300 lbs and chest-press my weight in iron. Tony has designed an effective combination of machines, free weights, and exercise areas that compliment my conditioning goals. I've written this extended review in appreciation of Tony's business because I deeply value the resources and thoughtfulness of this gym.

I've been going to this location for over a year now. As a longtime OTF member, I was missing my…read moreworkouts during the pandemic. Although COVID was still very much around in 2021, the gym reopened in the spring of that year. The COVID protocols were a bit funky... they required masks to enter the facility but once you were running on the treadmill, you could take them off?!? Didn't make sense to me. Anyhow, now that the mask mandate is over, it's kind of like "at your own risk". They offer wipes throughout the class (when switching groups) to sanitize the equipment for the next person. I do love the workout because I think it's the best bang for your buck, if you want an intense workout (mostly cardio) with about 15-20 minutes of strength training. You do a session on the treadmill (up to 30 minutes) of running at varied paces/inclines. Then a combination of rowing and strength training. I like to start on the treadmill. The bigger classes get split into three groups, with a 1/3 of the class starting on the treadmill, rower, or weight room. Bring a towel and water bottle!!! You will be dripping sweat by the end of it. The goal is to get at least 12 splat points (when your heart rate gets over 84%). To track this, you will have to buy the OTF heart monitor and you will see your progress on the screens around the room. The theory if you get 12+ splat points, you will burn extra calories over the next 24 hours. The coaches are all great. I especially like Sarah, Stephanie, and Jeff! They are all very encouraging during the workout. During the academic year, this location is filled with college girls from UCSB, just FYI. It's never hard to get into a class, and I usually wait until the morning of to book a class through their online app since there is a late cancellation policy if you don't cancel within 8 (?) hours of the scheduled class. I signed up for the Elite membership which gives me 8 classes a month, which works perfectly for me, as I do a lot of other forms of exercise. I love OTF and am glad it's part of my workout routine!!

Management is highly responsive & cares about member experiences. The outdoor workout space is incredible and the group fitness instructors provide higher quality instruction than at many other gyms. Secondary benefits include: yummy food, member events that are family-friendly, high quality and offered at a reasonable cost. Their parties are my favorite to attend by far. The pool is overcrowded during summer months, but there are plenty of alternate activities at the club to make up for this. COAC is our home away from home.

I was standing there with an infant child and the man on the other side kept saying hey we got a new recruit. You don't look like us because they were Caucasian and they said for us to go to the Pickleball Court Side because they were tennis players and they hate pickle ball people, and then he kept saying that the infant child does not look like one of the players. We just then said that we don't play both sports that we're just looking but either way they're loud at 7 AM all the way until 9 PM. I feel sorry for the people that live close by hopefully they find a solution for Trash that comes by the neighborhood. Another thing is that golf is actually way better than these sports.

They regularly host unique classes -- last week they had a Rihanna vs Beyoncé Sculpt class. However, their classes typically begin at 9am, whereas other CorePower studios hold earlier classes (at 6:30am, 7am, 8am), which is more practical for people that work. My only wish is that this studio would hold earlier classes. Otherwise, I would 100% recommend this studio.

Last week I was locked out of the studio because I arrived 3 min late. I think this is really rude and it goes against the yoga philosophy. I understand that respect for others is important, but life sometimes gets in the way and people cannot get there on time-- they just enter the class quietly and that's ok. I had already rearranged my whole schedule to go to that class. Not everybody has complete flexibility. But oh well... I've practiced yoga for over 15 years in other cities and I had never felt these bad vibes. Teachers here are nice and I've enjoyed some classes, but unfortunately heated classes are not my thing. If you are not looking for franchise yoga, I would recommend going to other nice places around town.

Kevin has helped me learn how to train, build muscle(some I don't even know I had), exercise safely and stay motivated. Only to name a few of the many things I have learned and continue to learn from Kevin. He has also helped me with diet, sleep and has in general improved my overall mental health. His facility is private, clean and conveniently located. I truly look forward to my bi weekly sessions and Kevin has a great balance of pushing me while also keeping the sessions fun and dynamic. He is very knowledgeable about bio hacking, anatomy and does a great job explaining what's going on(muscle groups, reactions etc). These two photos are about a year apart. I really didn't ever think I would be in this good shape and it has improved my confidence immensely. I'm very much looking forward to next year and taking it to the even next level with Kevin!

Having two young kids and a demanding job, working out easily falls out of the routine. Kevin keeps me accountable and creates a workout space that is challenging, enjoyable, and keeps me coming back for more. He is always flexible with my busy schedule to make sure that I can get my workouts in every week to stay consistent. I feel stronger and healthier than ever, which has become ever more important when my 3 year old refuses to get off my shoulders walking around the Zoo. Kevin also goes beyond solid workouts, offering nutrition advice and questioning what my goals are for the week to focus on all aspects of my personal health. I appreciate everything Kevin at Resilience Personal Training has done for me and recommend highly to anyone looking to feel better every day.
