Best places: Fitness centers in Santa Barbara, United States

👍👍 This was the first time my friend and I did kayaking, and it's really fun! Our guide / instructor was friendly and knowledgeable. Really enjoyed the two hours on the water, and would certainly love to do it again!

😠 This was the best yoga studio. Then a group from LA bought it, fired the teachers, hired LA teachers, changed class times, and fired the manager. She was the best. Such a shame. Don’t go here unless you support the LA takeover of Santa Barbara.

Martial arts school for self-defense, judo, MMA & more, including after-school programs for kids.

Modern indoor rock climbing gym with programs, classes & rentals, plus summer camps & parties.

👍 Attended an event there, rehearsal dinner. Spectacular views and interior design. Can't comment on the golf course but it looked to be in great shape

👍👍 I am not typically one for group classes but really enjoy the circuit style training/boxing classes at Santa Barbara Mayweather Boxing & Fitness. I appreciate the knowledgable and experienced trainers shadowing the group movements, offering encouragement and tips to box/train better.

😠 SWELL Santa Barbara Athletic Club is not so SWELL! As many of us do, I was really excited about joining a Gym and starting a new health program for myself. Based on a friend’s recommendation I went to the Santa Barbara athletic club. Wow!!! I can’t begin to express the treatment I got! Excuse me??...

👍👍 I’m new in Santa Barbara and I love this club. The courts are always clean and in great condition. Everyone is friendly, professional and really make you feel like a part of the family.

👍👍 Fitness means something different to each person - we’ve all got different goals, different abilities, and different ways of learning. Innate Fitness is awesome because its coaches get that and they are willing to meet anyone where they’re at to get started. It’s a great community - fun, supportive,...

👍👍 Great local gym. Facility is always clean. With the added access to the boxing gym next door, it’s hard to beat that value.

😠 Second Edit: Cancelling a membership at Fitness 19 has been nothing short of an ordeal. Apparently, the new manager, Theo, has taken away the ability to cancel memberships from all of his staff. This wouldn’t be an issue if he was always present... however he is almost never there. First Edit: I am...

😠 One day while I was working at my job downtown a marketing representative from golds came into our restaurant and asked to speak to the owner. We got the owner and the marketing representative explained they are trying to get new members so he handed out 7 day trial membership cards to all the empl...

👍👍 Excited this gym moved into my neighborhood! Has all the essential machines, weights, and super friendly trainers and owners. Being actually open 24 hours is a plus and easy sign up! Highly recommend!

👍👍 A year ago I stepped into a gym and started focusing on my physical health for the first time. For someone who had no knowledge about working out, eating healthy, or how to use the equipment, I'm so glad that I started at the Y. I couldn't have asked for better trainers and staff to support me and m...

🫤 I enjoy the workout classes here. What I don't understand is why this gym has decided to ignore the county-wide mask mandate. ~90% of everyone at the gym chooses to go mask-less, and the explanation is this is because of a decision that corporate made. All I want is for this pandemic to be over so I...

🫤 I love the Montecito Y outdoor pool and have been a member for six years. However, I'd like to point out that the Aqua Fit classes since the exit of instructors Kristy and Debbie have been a huge disappointment. The daily classes have been slashed to just three morning classes per week (hope you don...

🫤 Went to the Saturday morning Sculpt class and the room was so full there was maybe 2 inches between each mat. It was so packed you couldn't even get the full range of motion, not to mention that you'd inevitably brush past your sweaty neighbor. There's no way the amount of people packed into that ro...

😠 They just reduced their weight selection and made one of the major workout spaces where you could do free weight and body weight workouts into a personal training room that they keep locked and also where they have locked up all the lower weights and kettlebells as well as vital workout equipment t...
