I moved downstairs because I bought a squat rack from Amazon. It took nearly 2 months for me to move (availability / remodeling) but after I did I came here because every fitness / gym websites didn't carry barbells or plates because it was out of stock. I knew that by paying triple the cost at least I'll get a chance to lift a little heavier, feeling a sense of normalcy amidst this outbreak. Call for prices. I don't remember how much was the bar and the plates but my total w/ tax for both was nearly $600. To me it was definitely worth it because now I can incorporate some compound movements into my regimen like before. Check out their IG: weightsandbars for a more extensive look at what they have to offer, their upcoming shipments, and prices.. they do reply back to DM's.

Elite Pro Gym on Monterey Road has two buildings, and each has a very different vibe…read more The front building has windows and feels more like a traditional gym -- a place where people can see themselves and others while they work out. But the building in the back is where things get serious. It's clean, professional, and clearly focused on training. I was very impressed with the selection of weights, free weights, and all the other equipment available. Everything you need is there, and it didn't feel crowded. The hours are very accessible, which makes it easy to fit workouts into your schedule. Entry is handled through your cell phone, which I actually found to feel very secure and modern. If you're looking for a gym that's different from the mainstream, this is definitely one to check out.

Although they have a more comprehensive MMA and / boxing selection than others. I love boxing and noticed they are having a sale on punching bags, so I purchased a 70 pound Everlast elite. I normally use 100 pound bags, but this will do because I can always add more filling to make it heavier. I am seriously impressed with the quality, durability of the bag, it's indestructible and looks great! feels good against my hands and it maintains its shape, makes a great noise when it takes a shot. Really good for bent arm shots. I hung it up in my garage with a 150 pound ceiling anchor that I got at Home Depot, overall great bag and it doesn't swing too much, but still gives a decent swing. I am happy with this purchase, thank you Big 5!

This is a long overdue review of Gym Guards. I reached out via Yelp and Sasha responded within…read moreminutes. He was able to provide a date and time frame when a technician can come look at my treadmill. I sent him the video of the issue and treadmill brand. He also provided a quote for the service. My treadmill was making squeaking and rushing sounds when used. It seemed misaligned or caught onto something. It was internal issue and I was no expert on figuring out what it was. A few days later Tim arrived, he texted me 15 minutes before which was greatly appreciated. He assessed the issue and not only did he fix the issue, he even fixed what a previous tech did to my treadmill. My treadmill was originally seen by a Nordictrack outsourced tech to replace my belt and battery back in November 2025. After Tim corrected the lazy method the previous tech made, I had regrets of going through Nordictrack in the first place. I should have just went with Gym Guards when I first came across them on Yelp. Tim gave me advice on future maintenance I can do to my treadmill i.e. lubricant application after 150 miles, as well as using an Allen wrench when it comes to tightening my walking belt. Tim was a perfectionist and didn't leave till he checked the treadmill thoroughly. He actually spent a decent time making sure the issue was fixed, treadmill was stable, and no other problems arose as he let the treadmill run. Definitely worth getting your equipment checked by them.

Big 5 Sporting Goods used to be my go-to whenever was in need of baseball tees. The assorted colors are plentiful and I typically don't have any issues in finding the sizes I needed. This visit was unfortunately a let down. Not only were the color options scarce but the sizes in stock were just as terrible. I literally walked around the whole store twice, thinking I missed the baseball tee rack. Products are typically reasonably priced and employees are willing to help if you ask. Parking behind the store is plentiful but there is always street parking in front of the store if available. So why the 4 stars?? Thank you to the staff for being kind enough to do a search and helped me located my backup item I needed. It would have been great to find exactly what I wanted but it is very obvious that Big 5 has downsized in its items they offer/carry.

I've worked in customer service for many years and for a response like the one she provided was not okay. Instead of the response she provided she could have said, "I'll be right with you".

However they just lost a customer better yet many customers because I will tell all of my friends which is many not to come to Big 5 due to Teri's rudeness.
