Fitness & Gyms in Santa Clara, CA

“Sadly the pandemic closed down my long time hot yoga/Pilates studio. Not being the self-motivated type, I went from hardcore hot Pilates four times a week to NOTHING. As my body got visibly out of shape, I got depressed and couldn't muster enough motivation to change. Beginning of this year, after reaching my very peak weight (and lowest level of physical strength), I finally came to the realization that I have to do something about the situation. I tried a few studios and Rebel Rise hit all the marks for what I was looking for:1) Ease of commute and parking: The studio is located in Franklin Square, a small, quiet plaza in Santa Clara "downtown". It's easy to drive to and there are plenty of parking at the lot across the street.2) Small business: I truly appreciate a non-corporate/chain studio, without the the obnoxious headsets and/or take-themselves too seriously attitudes. The studio is well-rounded and down to earth. 3) Clean and orderly: This is a super clean facility. Owner Jenn provides plenty of heavenly smelling tea tree oil sanitizing sprays and wipes for students to wipe down mats, equipments, and blocks after use. For strength training classes, disinfectant wipes are used to wipe down weights and mats as students switch from one station to the next. The equipments are well-organized and varied. There are also mats you can borrow for the class if you forget yours. There's no shower but there is a changing room, as well as a water dispenser. Restrooms are shared with the rest plaza and kept very clean.4) Uncrowded classes: People are not jammed packed into a room. Strength training classes are 8 people max to ensure safety and distance while working out. I believe the yoga classes are maxed at 20. As a person who needs personal space/distance even prior to COVID, I very much enjoy not having people's feet right in front of my face while doing yoga. We don't have to park our mats in closely pre-marked spots either; I appreciate the freedom to choose my space.5) Friendly (not the unctuous kind) and supportive environment: Not only do the instructors greet you by name, all the students are welcoming and kind. I was very nervous about attending the first few classes, afraid that I wouldn't be able to keep up. The nerves were completely unnecessary. The longtime students were comforting and sweet, taking the time to learn my name and chitchat. It's not a competitive environment by any means. The classes are easy to adapt for beginners and you are not pressured to do more than what you are comfortable with.6) Variety of classes and schedule: There are 6 AM and 7 AM classes for those are enthusiastic about morning workouts. For people who are more time flexible, there are midday and early afternoon classes. Evening classes start at 5:15 PM and 6:15 PM. FYI, there are more classes offered than the schedule listed on the Rebel Rise website. Use the MINDBODY app to see HIIT classes, workshops, and special events (like free classes at Alo or Vuori). Coming from a hot Pilates background, I do chase a bit of physical difficulty challenge and favor the HIIT and strength classes. Yoga classes are great for stretch and balance practice in between. Due to past yoga related injuries, I appreciate that the yoga classes are not focused on crazy inversions and contortions. I do miss power yoga with a faster and continuous flow sometimes, but then again, HIIT is a decent substitute if you are looking for cardio and body resistance type of workout. About two weeks into the 3x a week one month trial membership, I signed up for unlimited monthly membership. Now two months in, I've gone from a complete couch potato to attending classes up to 5 times a week. It's not only because I enjoy the workouts, I also enjoy seeing my fellow classmates and the instructors. This is such a gem of a studio. I would encourage you to try it out if you are either looking to start or re-start a fitness habit.”

“I’m so grateful to have found The Camp in Santa Clara! The workouts and trainers are amazing! I’m seeing results each week, and that’s the evidence that keeps me coming back each day. The nutritional guidance has been a game changer! I’ve never been a morning person, but the positive energy from the staff, the camaraderie from the other class members, and the supportive attentiveness of the coaches make it easy to get up at 430 am for a 5 am class. Thank you ?”

“Super straight forward gym and awesome if you are visiting or a regular. I love this 24 hour access and super clean. The customer support is on point. Thank you Stephanie”

“I love how I had to be let into the gym! It makes me feel secure knowing not everyone can walk in. I met up with Dan one of the staff members who gave me a tour of the gym and although it isn’t large, it still carries all the supplies one would need to get fit! The other staff that we ran into along the way were welcoming and overall the experience is a 10/10. This is officially my gym ?”

“I have been a member of FNS since the past two years and it's hands down the best fitness community I have ever been a part of. The staff is super friendly and make you feel right at home. What I love most is the sense of community here. The trainers are awesome, and everyone supports each other. My experience at FNS has been amazing. It's more than just a gym, it's like my second home!”

“I have been a member at this location since March. I have been an OrangeTheory member for almost two years and I've been to several locations around the bay.I am very impressed with the cleanliness and organization at Monticello. The studio has always been well maintained. I also enjoy the plentiful parking in either the front lot or the garage.The front desk staff have been helpful with any questions or otbeat charging. Darrien, Frankie, Conor, and Nicolette have been really great coaches. You can tell they care to see the members improve in their fitness and health. They have always taken extra care to make sure members understand the exercises and keep good form.I would highly recommend this location to anyone and struggle to understand some of the negative reviews as I've never experienced their issues.”

“This is gym is great with new machines! I was here when they Grand Opened, then after that it got super busy! I come occasionally to this location when it's not busy haha but I love that it's big & has plenty machines!”
