    “I tried the 8-class intro and 2 free sessions – all the instructors were amazing! Every class was different and easy to follow, even for non-native speakers. The studio is clean, bright, and welcoming. I’ll definitely come back next time I’m in the U.S. — wish we had Bar Method in Vienna! ? ? THANKS!!!”

    “For the past 3 years, The LAB has been my fitness haven. After giving up soccer and running due to chronic injuries, I found my way here, and it's been life-changing. I've not only returned to the sports I love but I'm fitter than ever.The staff's expertise is evident; they've custom-tailored workouts that cater to my specific needs. It's like having a personal team dedicated to my success.Three years in, I'm reminded that we only have one body in this life, and The LAB helps me treat it well.Cheers to The LAB for helping me achieve my fitness goals!”

    “This is a hidden gem in Santa Barbara, you can book out the lounge for a full private restoration session which includes a guest pass. My favorite is the full panel red light table, but also the infrared sauna and cold plunge combination with the lymphatic drainage vibration plate is amazing for muscle, nervous system, and lymphatic recovery. The lounge is a vibe, upscale but also warm and welcoming with a cool lounge atmosphere. They have showers available pre and post session. My only regret is that I didn’t discover this place sooner. 10/10 recommend booking immediately”

    “The Variant Training Gym is amazing in all respects! Before starting training, they take the time to listen to our needs and goals for fitness, as well as any physical constraints, and then tailor a training protocol based on that. The place is beautiful and has excellent equipment, as well as a sauna, red-light therapy room, cold plunge, and hypobaric chamber-everything is clean and well-maintained. There are showers and lockers as well. I want to especially commend the staff, who are very dedicated and friendly and keep watch over us so that we do the exercises correctly as well as increase our fitness over time. It is a pleasure working with them (Sebastian, Kelly, and Chase). We are also able to book physiotherapy sessions with John, the in-house physiotherapist, who takes the time to examine the issues and comes up with effective and reasonable solutions. I have seen my fitness and strength improve significantly, and issues with my lower back and knees have gotten much better; I barely feel them anymore.”

    “Amina is one of my favorite trainers in Santa Barbara. She pushes me out of my comfort zone into developing new skills and building my strength, and does it with a smile, a ton of love and all while keeping it fun. Amina has helped me build my confidence. Her space is absolutely beautiful-I don't even feel like I'm in a gym! In addition to enjoying training with her one-one-one, I love taking classes (including the yoga) in her space... she attracts kind, thoughtful and fun people and I love the community.”

    “I have been training here for years, and it just keeps getting better. As a long time endurance athlete I have been itching to get back to competing but was looking for something that would not beat me up too much; did my first Hyrox race last year and am now fully addicted. Love the coaches and community here, they push me hard!”

    “I'm an active person and work out at the gym regularly. I have spent years lifting, running, and swimming. However, I haven't been able to reach results of losing 10lbs and 5% body so efficiently, until I completed Will's 6 week challenge.This actually works!!! Will is knowledgeable, motivating, and consistent with his workouts. From eating right to ensuring you're making the right movements, Will delivered. I highly recommend his program, expertise, and overall service. I'll be continuing his workouts and hope others get a chance to experience these results. If you're committed and want to see results from your workouts, you definitely need to meet Will!”

All of the instructors are comprehensively trained (500+ hour certification vs a lot of places in town are a weekend or 2). Woman owned by a local hard working mom who is extremely educated, knowledgeable, specializes in a variety of different injuries and pathologies and is amazing at what she does.

    “We’ve been coming to My Gym for a while now, and I finally wanted to leave a review because we’ve had such a positive experience here. My child is hard of hearing, has some vision differences, and has additional medical and developmental needs. One of the things I appreciate most is how comfortable my child is here and how the staff work with each child as an individual. They are patient, try to help calm my child when things become overwhelming, and give my child the chance to participate at their own pace. If something they are trying isn’t working, they let me know. They communicate with me, try different things, and really make an effort to help my child be successful. The staff are also there for the parents. If you have a question, concern, or problem, you can actually talk to them. If the person you ask doesn’t know the answer, they will ask someone else and try to find out for you. I’ve never gotten the feeling that they are just there to take people’s money. They genuinely seem to care about helping the kids and helping the parents too. My child gets to work on coordination, balance, listening, social skills, and confidence while still feeling like they are just having fun. As a parent of a child who sometimes needs extra support, that means a lot to me. They make my child feel included rather than like a problem. I also wanted to mention a few things I saw in some of the negative reviews because our experience has been very different. The membership being automatically billed was explained when we signed up, more than once, and again when we first came in. It was never presented to me as a surprise charge. I definitely recommend reading what you’re signing up for, but I personally felt they were very clear about how the membership works. I’ve also seen complaints about the cleaning/disinfectant smell. Yes, sometimes you can smell the cleaning products, and the scent in the bathroom can be a little strong, but honestly, in a place where a bunch of little kids are playing, climbing, touching everything and using the bathroom, I would much rather smell cleaning products than walk into a place that smells dirty or isn’t being cleaned enough. I also saw a complaint about the door being kept closed. Personally, I’m glad it is. These are little kids, and kids can run out in a second. There is also the other side of it you don’t want just anyone being able to randomly walk into a children’s gym either. Keeping the door secure helps keep the kids safely inside and helps control who is coming into the space. I would much rather have that extra safety measure in place than have an open door and hope someone catches a child or notices someone walking in who shouldn’t be there. Overall, we’ve had a really good experience. My child enjoys coming, the staff know them, communicate with me, try to help when extra support is needed, and make my child feel welcome. It’s one of the places where I feel like my child can just be themselves while still learning and growing, and that is why we keep coming back.”

    “This 24 hour gym was great, met all my needs. Really a no frills gym. This gym is affiliated with the hotel I was staying at, The Kimpton Canary, free access with a daily QR code to scan on your phone. I'm an early bird gym rat, I was there doing Cardio at 5:00AM. The 4 days I workout there, at that time there were only 2 people working out and I felt very safe. I entered through a scan from a QR code that gave me a punch code number. When you walk in it is much bigger than it looks from the outside. The gym has plenty of towels, disinfectant spray bottles, vending machines if you need drinks, 3 large restroom and I believe I saw showers plus free Wifi. I like riding the bikes which were on the second floor. I had a view of the entire gym. I noticed people were very conscious in wiping down the benches after they were used. Great Gym if you are visiting, want to work out daily, weekly.”

The facility is well-maintained and clean, and there are many classes and community events that make me feel included and cared for. I always feel safe and considered at WAC, and everyone who works out here is so lovely. Thank God (and Alice) for WAC! :)”

    “My wife and I visited Santa Barbara for a week in early November. We bought guest passes for the week and used the facilities every day. Great equipment, truly great staff and friendly clientele. There are so many positive things I could say about Swell and the staff so I will just close by saying it is a wonderful gym and well worth the guest fees we paid.”

I am very happy with the open and bright and well ventilated spaces of EOS, as well as the equipment and staff. I need to take my health seriously after having pre-diabetes 10 years ago, and EOS helps me to keep soldiering on!”

    “I’ve been a member at Fitness 19 Santa Barbara since last September, and joining has genuinely changed my life. Since starting here, I’ve lost more than 40 pounds, become stronger than I’ve ever been, and built a consistent routine that I actually look forward to. I’ve been so impressed with my experience that I recently signed up as a Lifetime Elite member because I know this is where I want to continue working toward my long-term health and fitness goals. One of my favorite Elite membership perks is access to the Vault. It is an excellent space to work out on very nice equipment (pics) in a private Elite members only area, and complements the work I put in during my training sessions. One of the biggest reasons for my success has been the personal training program. I train four days a week, and it has been one of the best investments I’ve ever made. I’ve had the opportunity to work with several different trainers, and every one of them has brought something valuable to my fitness journey. They are knowledgeable, encouraging, and genuinely invested in helping you succeed, regardless of your starting point. A heartfelt thank you to all of my past trainers for helping build the foundation that got me where I am today. And a special thank you to my current trainer, Nina. She has been an incredible coach—always positive, motivating, and attentive to my goals while continuing to challenge me to improve. She has played a huge role in helping me stay consistent, push beyond what I thought I was capable of, and continue making progress. I truly appreciate everything she does. The gym has everything I need, from great equipment and recovery amenities to a welcoming atmosphere that makes it easy to stay motivated. The staff has always been friendly and helpful, and it has become a place I genuinely enjoy coming to rather than somewhere I feel like I have to go. If you’re looking for a gym where you can make real progress, I can’t recommend Fitness 19 Santa Barbara enough. I’m living proof that with consistency, great coaching, and the right environment, you really can change your life.”
