Lucas came highly recommended to me from someone I trust. Honestly, upon meeting him I was…read moreskeptical for two reasons: his youth and my multiple failures at engaging a coach for the purpose of personal accountability. Turns out Lucas is wise beyond his years, and has helped me move the needle in areas and ways others have not. He asks great questions. I also process issues with AI, but AI lacks Lucas' intuitive persistence.  I've recommended him to those closest in my life. I've also recently upped my own engagement with him. In my 3 decades as a professional I've had the benefit of working with some truly amazing coaches who have dramatically affected my skills and my business.

I used to avoid gyms because just thinking about working out around other people gave me anxiety…read more But ever since joining Ocean Pacific Gym, that feeling has completely disappeared. The atmosphere here is welcoming, totally non-intimidating, and genuinely enjoyable. I absolutely love the new gym layout, especially all of the booty builder equipment they've added downstairs. It's honestly one of my favorite parts--I get excited to come in and work on building my glutes! The equipment is fantastic, the amenities are top-notch, and the staff is always friendly and supportive. The transformation this gym has gone through is incredible, and it just keeps getting better. Ocean Pacific Gym has turned something I used to dread into something I look forward to every day. Highly recommended! Also the sauna that looks out into the ocean is a great way to end my workout.

I canceled my membership by phone in December and was told my access would end the first week of…read moreJanuary. Despite this, I was charged in January and again in February. Staff acknowledged the cancellation and apologized, but the charges continued. These unauthorized charges disrupted another automatic payment I had scheduled. In addition, I signed a contract with the understanding that certain amenities would be available. Over time, several amenities either disappeared or were not functioning as advertised. Equipment was frequently in poor condition, some machines did not work properly, and basic facility expectations were not consistently met. There were also ongoing issues with air conditioning, and even simple amenities like stocked shampoo and conditioner were unreliable. If you choose to join, I strongly recommend getting any cancellation in writing and carefully reviewing what amenities are actually operational versus what is advertised.

This business was referred to me by a good friend. I had a very severe pulled hamstring. That was…read morehampering much of my movement and causing a lot of pain. Tiffany and Christie were the two physical therapist that worked on me and I went twice a week. They did targeted massage and fast release with cupping in addition to strengthening exercise exercises for my gluteal muscles and my hamstring. It took a lot of concentrated time and effort, but my hamstring gradually improved and got stronger and then it healed. I would highly recommend catalyst to anyone who is an athlete and has an injury because their strengthening exercises Will serve you well if you're intentional about following them after you leave your therapy. I went to their location at the Barnes tennis center, and it is very clean and well organized, and all of the equipment that you need us there. The physical therapy assistance are very good too. They show you how to do all the exercises properly so that you are strengthening the correct muscles and not injuring yourself. They are excellent at getting your insurance in place and coordinating with your primary doctor and giving them your plan of care.

I came to Catalyst for quad tendinitis and saw Jon. It was a slow healing process. In part because…read moremy pain made me too tired to do the at-home exercises all the time. It had been maybe a month in a half and I didn't think I was going to get better and maybe PT just wasn't working for me. Since I wasn't doing all exercises regularly, I decided to be diligent about them and if I didn't see an improvement I was going to stop PT and find another healing modality. What do you know after doing the exercises diligently I saw an improvement and graduated PT! A couple of things to note. I'm hyper mobile and I also had hip, groin, shoulder, mid back & neck pain. I hurt all over. While we worked on my quad Jon would also give me stretches and bodywork for the other areas. All areas were either healed or significantly improved. I was living in constant pain and dealing with some of the issues for years and for the most part it's gone! I took advantage of the monthly massage membership, which was and continues to be part of my healing process. I have since moved on to personal training through Catalyst as well to strengthen my body in the correct way, which has also been a game changer for me. Love the team at Catalyst, through them I learned how to be fully in tune with my body. Sharing a video of me dancing this weekend something I could not do when I first came to Catalyst.

I definitely recommend him! He's so encouraging that it's hard to get mad at him, even when he makes you do those couple extra reps!

Erica was teaching the C2 class and did an incredible job. She kept the class flowing without overly explaining the postures. Which I really appreciated being a seasoned yogi. In addition her soundtrack was awesome & she was a super kind instructor. All things combined made for a wonderful experience as a first timer at this particular studio. I did luck out with street parking in front. I'd say that's the only thing to plan ahead for as they mentioned there's $4 validated parking in the lot beneath the building & only street parking so just make sure to plan ahead & give yourself enough time to park and make it into class on time. Other than that, a worthy Core Power studio to get your hot yoga practice on!!
