    Ari helping me recover from scar tissues damage in my shoulders
    Jay G.

    Though I've never trained with the other trainers at this location, I have been training with Alex and Ari thoroughly for years with muscle aches and a few bruises to prove it. My overall well-being is better due to Ari and Alex's personalized training techniques.

The two small mat areas for stretching are crowded and often times unavailable. I often see coaches chit chatting on the mats and taking up space that could be used for workouts. The movable equipment like the boxes often are filled with personal item like phone and headsets so it's not easy to just grab what you need easily. Several times over the past few months the gym has had no hot water and/or no steam. I utilize the gym before work so this is a major issue. In fact as a write this just received a notification of no hot water. ‍ The sign up part was awesome, with Equinox providing guests passes, gift receipts for the store etc....ending the membership, however, has been painful. I started the process a week ago and my email wasn't on file despite providing all of my info thru the signup process. When I attempted to end my membership thru the email provided it had expired only two days later. Calling back, had to provide my email again. Went thru the cancellation process only to encounter an "error" at the end. Attempted several additional times with same result. Called the club and was informed a "report" had to be made and sent to the general manager for approval. What? My husband is now encountering the same shenanigans. No email on file, no address blah blah. The Equinox front desk manager was rude and condescending saying "I'm sorry mame" over and over. Extremely disingenuous attitude and tone as if just to get me off the phone and not genuinely sorry. Overall an awful experience. Beware, this is a hotel California membership.

Their instructors and trainers are incredible and were so helpful to my recovery after a recent injury due to their knowledge and experience - better than most PTs I've gone to. Celé has really helped me become more well-rounded in my overall health and wellness journey.

I actually look forward to going in, which has never happened for me before. What really makes it special though is the people. Every teacher and trainer I've worked with truly cares and takes the time to help you reach your goals - not in a pushy way, but in a supportive, encouraging way. It's one of those places that makes you actually want to show up for yourself. Highly recommend if you're into wellness, fitness, recovery, or just want a space that feels really good to be in.

She provides a wealth of knowledge on how your body works and why you are doing what you are doing, along with supplement suggestions that never feel pushy - just tools you can choose for your toolbox if you'd like. When the going gets tough, she has an abundance of tips to make diet and workouts more palatable and is always there as a friend to commiserate and build you up. Jen leads by example at Hardcore Fitness, and has built the most caring and supportive fitness environment I have ever experienced - from the trainers through the members. This is her family business and she makes all of her members and clients feel loved like family. I recently completed a 60- day fitness challenge at Hardcore, run by Jen. I gained strength and confidence, while losing inches off my body. My favorite part of the 60 day challenge was the supportive community of other participants. People their stories, struggles, wins, tips, and support for each other both online in our group video discussions, as well as as in person at the gym. The community really keeps you engaged and focused on your goals. This experience has given me better knowledge of what my bad habits weee doing to my body and what good habits I could foster for benefits I want. I plan to keep these learnings top of mind as I head into my (new and improved) regular routine. I recommend Hardcore, Jen, and the trainers highly to anyone looking for a gym family/home. You can generally find me in a Lift class or in the Red Zone Rumble boxing class six days a week. I can't get enough of it!

The workout times are also a big part of why I joined -- I'm a working mom so the early morning/late afternoon classes are great!

    Update: In response to this situation, I received a full refund of this month's fee from management…read morebecause of the unprofessional behavior of this desk worker (Tyler White). I appreciate their professionalism in how the situation was handled. Updated my rating to reflect this. Overall, the facilities are nice but this incident shows that they need to be much more careful about who they hire. I've been a paying member of the YMCA for a few years, and until recently, I have had nothing but positive and professional experiences. Unfortunately that changed after an experience with a part-time front desk employee named Tyler White, who despite not having any kind of managerial authority, attempted to forcibly remove me from the premises under the false belief that I was trespassing. I was extensively harassed by this employee and falsely accused of committing a crime based on suspicion alone. To be clear, I am a current member with a valid membership which I scanned when I arrived. Despite successfully scanning my card and having my check in verbally acknowledged by multiple staff members, Tyler had some personal doubts and suspicions about whether I was a member. However, he did not ask for additional verification in a respectful way. Instead, he profiled me as a trespasser, escalated the situation, repeatedly demanding that I leave and threatened to call the police. He loudly (falsely) accused me of committing a crime in front of other gym members and even imitated law enforcement in the kind of language that he was using. He shouted violently in front of other gym members in definite terms "you will be arrested" as a mere civilian. These arrest threats were made based on suspicion alone and absolutely no evidence to support them. I seriously do not know anyone of adult age that does not realize that this kind of language is specifically reserved for law enforcement... not for someone who's job title is "membership assistant" at the ymca. When I say that he screamed I don't mean that he just raised his voice... he was so enraged it's literally like he wanted to murder someone. Everyone in the gym was terrified and he caused a huge scene. After I proved to him that I was a member, no apology was offered. Instead he offered the pathetic excuse that "we've just been having a lot of trespassers lately". I absolutely do not appreciate being falsely accused of crimes from a part time desk worker who has no legal authority whatsoever. Also, if you look at a job listing for his official role (membership assistant)... we read that they are to "Bring unusual or unresolved issues to the attention of the Membership Director". Therefore, it is part of his job to refer issues internally within the company, not to take suspicions into his own hands and recklessly threaten and accuse. While the YMCA is private property it also operates under contractual obligations with its members. Tyler's behavior was not only legally questionable (verging on defamation and violation of California's public accommodations laws (Unruh Act) which prohibits arbitrary discrimination ), it also reflects a serious lack of training and oversight. If someone this inexperienced, immature, unhinged and reactive is being given unchecked authority over member access, then that is a huge liability to the YMCA and its members. This was an huge overreach by a young employee who severely lacks maturity. This experience raises serious questions about Tyler White's employability in a customer service job. The fact of the matter is that he is simply not employable by the widest stretch of the imagination. He is a lawsuit waiting to happen. This is a violent, unstable and severely mentally ill young person who needs rehabilitation. This is the kind of person who would need constant supervision and management and cannot be trusted to be left alone. This organization has no business giving someone like this a chance and putting members at risk. The YMCA should be a place of community. Not violence, unstable behavior or power trips from mentally ill immature staff barely out of high school.

I eagerly sought her out after getting referred by my chiropractor after dealing with my second herniated disc. I was afraid and disappointed in myself after my injury postpartum, but I understood how important it was to rebuild my core so that I could hold my big baby! I knew it was going to take someone special to help me gently but continuously strengthen my core without further injuring or irritating my disc. Kiara has been THEE best person for that. I have worked with a few other personal trainers but none have come close to the holistic approach Kiara has to whole body wellness from feet up-. After each session at her beautiful and absolutely immaculate studio, I always feel good, energized, and accomplished- not drained, in pain, or vomiting like I've felt with other trainers. I have been able to bring my baby to each session, which all moms know is a god send!! Kiara has an amazing way of explaining posture and form that's easy to grasp, helps you maximize your work out, and really focus on the target area. All of the equipment she has in her studio are really fun to use and not intimidating like it can be at the gym. Her work outs are addicting because of how good you feel after and how refreshing her approach is. I have already recommended her to so many of my friends- especially the moms. I am truly grateful for being able to work with her. It makes sense why she has clients who have been with her for years, in person & virtually as well.

Kiara helped me rebuild my core and pelvic strength in ways I didn't even realize I needed. Every workout challenges me in the best way, and for the first time, I feel strong and confident in my body. I never thought I needed a trainer, but this has been such a worthwhile investment in myself. Highly recommend!
