Best Gym near Salinas, California

The crew at Alta are very knowledgeable and professional. I love starting my day with Scott motivating me through challenging workouts and helping me to meet my goals. The community is supportive and really just a lot of fun! Aaron has a huge heart and is genuinely concerned about helping people reach their full potential. If you’re looking for a fun intense workout with great community and knowledgeable trainers, Alta Performance is the place.

Joined Alta's 6 well transformation program and had a great time! The coaches are all very encouraging and help to push you towards your goal. The work outs are good for any level as it's mostly a cross fit type of timed exercises which form your period of activity. These were good for me because it's not the kind of workout I do on my own. And again, the coaches ensured correct form and that we were pushing ourselves to do more or go up to the next weight. Overall, a great experience that I would recommend to anyone, regardless of prior fitness level, to help bring yourself to the weight, body physique, or energy level that you're looking for!

I did the 6 week challenge a couple months ago and LOVED the workouts and personal guidance that Alta provides. The trainers are super knowledgeable and fun and I had great results after the challenge. The meal plan was flexible and gave me some variety and vegetarian options. My favorite part is the people though, goofy and kind hearted folks that will push you to be your best. I still workout at Alta!

Before joining Alta Performance, I had the biggest issue with fitting in working out with my long, hectic, 12-hour work schedule. I didn’t think I would be a "morning person" to wake up at 6AM and work out. The group fitness setting definitely motivated me to show up to every class and push myself through each and every exercise. Everyone in the class was so encouraging, and being able to see how much I improved every week pushed me even harder to drive for results to reach my goal. Also, as a non-meat eater, it was a challenge to include foods in my diet that were high in protein. The meal plan was definitely easy to follow and really kept me on track with the macros my body needed to build muscle. I never really followed a meal plan, but I wanted to see what kind of results I would achieve if I stuck to the diet, and it worked! I definitely saw results, even after just 3 weeks! Different parts of my abdominals were starting to peak through, my arms were more toned, my pants were a little looser. My energy levels also improved and I became more excited to get up super early to work out before going to work. I recommend this challenge at Alta Performance Institute to everyone! Putting yourself in a different environment will push you to challenge yourself and work hard to meet those goals you’ve been wanting to achieve. Just some small changes in your diet can make a huge impact on your physique, and I’m glad I got to work with coaches who were able to guide me through my nutrition goals. This challenge gave me that push I needed to get me back on track on my fitness journey and I can’t wait for more exciting workouts!

The Alta Experience: I’ve been attending Alta Performance for about two months now, and I love it. I love that you never really get the same workout twice, and that the coaches really coach you. If your form is wrong, they correct you. If they think you can use a heavier or lighter weight, they offer it to you. They challenge you and recognize your efforts. At Alta, there are people in different fitness levels, all working out together. This gives me, someone who is in the middle of her fitness journey, the opportunity to learn from those who are further along as well as the opportunity to pass on my knowledge to someone who is just starting. That’s probably the best thing about Alta, that you won’t find in other gyms. It’s a sense of community and belonging, and being able to find support when you need it most.

Great morning work out

Nice gym very well organized. They even have free classes. Karen was very helpful and gave a tour. Overall gym has a chill vibe!

Great location! Outside looks clean. Plenty of parking. Walked in and was greeted helped instantly. Awesome staff. Everything was stocked and filled. Alot of things available if needed. Quickly became a member!

The gym equipment is okay and gets the job done. However, the bathrooms are still disgusting and dirty. This location needs to remodel the bathrooms. I pay 43.98$ a month it’s disappointing that I have paid less at the other franchise gyms in Salinas and the restrooms are CLEAN but this gym location restrooms are not sanitary. There’s only 1 employee when I come workout and I can’t imagine them cleaning and helping customers at the same time. I’m considering leaving this gym for good and taking my money where it’s worth the pay.

Love that the gym is open 24/7. Gym is nice and clean. Staff is very nice. I would highly recommend anytime fitness.

Staff was nice and polite. Everything was clean and sanitize.

If you like Soccer, then you should come and play here.

Love watching our Granddaughters play ball here.

Perfect for kids birthdays.

Great place to workout! Class are very challenging and straight forward. Strength training and cardio everything you need is here! I love how hector and his coaches are always pushing us all the way to the end! This has also been a family gym, where my husband and daughter and myself have been coming. I wouldn’t change this gym for anything!

I did my research on different gyms in Salinas and found BeastFit to match what I was looking for. Actually, it turned out to be even MORE amazing than what I was looking for. I had shed a lot of weight but felt like I needed strengthening and conditioning. I’m 34 years young, with two babies 2yrs & 6 yrs and have a pretty busy life. I am a local business owner and have a pretty busy schedule. Trying to do it all, be a present parent, running a busy business can lead to some stress. I have been guilty of constantly using the phrase, “I don’t have time for myself.” But this year I decided to MAKE time for myself. I want to be a healthy parent for my babies, a healthy business owner, make time for myself to fill my cup and therefore able to overflow into the other areas of my life. I wanted to invest one hour of my day to the gym and make sure I enroll somewhere where I would get results. One hour for 4 days a week is just perfect. Enough days to see results and enough rest days that I look forward to getting back to the gym. Investing One hour out of my day for 4 days a week for the past 5 months have led me to be the healthiest, strongest I’ve ever been in my whole life. I feel like I’m in my 20’s! I wake up looking forward to the gym, am able to release what I need to release at the gym, guided by the owner Hector, I feel like I get an amazing workout every time I go, I go about my day and have all the energy to keep up with my young babies and busy schedule. I no longer complain about my back pain or being too tired to be active with my kids after work. The gym has improved my mental health immensely! I feel happier, mentally balanced, I can think more clearly, I am motivated throughout my day instead of feeling sluggish, I am making healthier choices in life, I have the energy of a 20 year old, my skin is glowing, my whole body is toned with abs coming in, strong legs, building the booty, lean toned arms. After having two kids, I didn’t think it was possible to feel/look like this. I am more confident than ever, I appreciate being healthy and look forward to my hour at the gym. I was not a gym enthusiast before. I hadn’t worked out in 7 years. I chose BeastFit for the experience that Hector has. I was a bit intimidated by the name and wasn’t looking to turn into a “Beast” but I decided to try out each gym until I found the perfect one for me. Needless to say, I didn’t need to look further. I was hooked within the first day. Of course, it’s going to be challenging for a person who hasn’t worked out in 7 years but I was tired of feeling “weak.” Hector started me with a review of my health, any injuries, past experience, my abilities, goals. He trained me from the very beginning on learning how to do a proper squat, use proper technique, to avoid injuries (which is huge!), and slowly build up my strength & endurance to join the classes. I went from not knowing how to do a proper squat, never wanting to workout, nor even THINK about weight training to looking forward to my classes 4 days a week, to squatting 205 lbs!!!! And OBSESSED with all of the benefits of training with Hector. I swear, he is one knowledgeable person. I trust him to guide me and I am extremely grateful into this transformation I’ve had within the past 5 months! I receive Compliments on my health/fitness daily. Not only do I feel it but those around me have witnessed my transformation. Hector made me feel comfortable without feeling judge nor pushed nor pressured. He has the right amount of confidence to motivate his clients. Even when I don’t think I can do something, he reminds of the correct techniques and I am able to surprise myself with my strength. It is empowering to be in control of my body, instead of feeling like I am a slave to my body’s illnesses/weaknesses. I HIGHLY recommend Hector at BeastFit. If you’re ready to become the best version of yourself- I swear Hector is the one to do it. At 34 years young, mommy of two- I feel my healthiest, strongest, more confident, sexiest ever. Rocking two piece bikinis!!

Joined back in September 2023 and it has been an excellent experience since. It's well equipped , classes are never too crowded , there are separate restrooms for men and women which is something I appreciate. It really has a welcoming community, full of great people rooting for you! Coaches are always there to give you that extra push and to help you realize all the things your body is capable of. Overall a great place to work out towards your goals :) One piece of advise... never say " I can't" when at B3asfit! Thank you Cristina and Hector!

I needed a gym more personable to my health needs, and I found B3astfit Performance Fitness. Hector and his team are great and easy to work with. Hector understood my health needs, and worked with me to get my needs in order. Everyone in the classes were so fun to workout with as well. I highly recommend Hector and his team if you’re looking for more one on one coaching and training.

This is the perfect gym for all those who want to improve their craft. My son has worked out at a few gyms in the county and this is his favorite by far. One on one sessions are real and this gym is not here for your money, it’s truly here to develop your capabilities as and athlete. You’ll develop speed, strength, and conditioning not just fancy footwork.

I stopped by to drop in while visiting town and had a great time with everyone there. Professor Adrian is an excellent teacher and provides a very welcoming, safe, and friendly environment. Everyone there is super friendly and nice. I highly recommend Salinas Jiu Jitsu.

If you’re looking for a great environment for you or your kids with an awesome instructor that’s passionate about BJJ this is it. Quality BJJ with the consistent medals to prove it 🏅

Awesome place, instructor and his assistants are great. Also fantastic with the kids too!!

Great coach, amazing team!

Very knowledgable instructor , great training sessions , awesome atmosphere . Perfect for any age ,

Recently separated Veteran appalled at the treatment I received from this facility, and I have used Planet Fitness all over the country with this being the worst by far. I PCS'd from this location back in 2020 and canceled the membership via phone like I have done many times before and no I did not always receive paperwork from the location. I had two memberships pulling from my account. One in my name and one in my mother's name in another state. The charges do not show indicating the location. Before I continue, this isn't a woe is me situation. I recognize I let some things slip through the cracks with my deployment schedule and operational tempo. Having recently discovered my mother has not used her membership in quite some time, I started digging to find out where this other membership charge was coming from that had been pulling from my account for years without being used. After contacting corporate they let me know I still had an active membership at this location. I think, no worries. Let me call and cancel it. They received 5 years of free membership payments without use. What's done is done. After calling I am greeted by Daniel who proceeds to tell me I have a negative balance on the account in excess of $100, (roughly a few months). I explain that I canceled the membership via phone years ago, and he proceeds to tell me that didn't happen. Essentially calling me a liar. I talk to Daniel to try to figure out a way forward and at least cancel the membership for the time being. He proceeds to tell me he can't cancel it with a negative balance. I explained that I deployed twice since canceling and moving, to which he tells me there is nothing he can do. I know this is a lie because I have canceled and had fees waived after the fact because I was deployed and, in that instance, Planet Fitness did send me a document which showed they can in fact waive fees for military. I explain this to him and suddenly he is aware this is an option but tells me he does not have the authority to take that action. I ask to speak to the manager to see if they have the authority to help me and Daniel tells me she will be in the following week and will return my call. They did return my call but when I answered I wasn't speaking to Gisele the manager (assuming this is the manager as it is the other name he gave for contact). Instead, I once again was speaking with Daniel who kept insisting nothing could be done without paying the balance unless I track down my deployment orders and send them to him. I know this to be false as, again, I have had multiple Planet Fitness memberships across the country and dealing with last minute moves, deployments, and training events which took me out of state for long periods of time, I have had to cancel membership via the phone and was told it was really easy to do and at the discretion of management on site. After getting nowhere, I reluctantly tell Daniel I will try to track down the orders but ask if he can freeze the account in the meantime to stop fees accruing. Once again, he tells me their hands are tied. Apparently, they are incapable of doing much. You would think that 5 years of free dues would be sufficient but the greed and apathy at this location really rubbed me the wrong way. I wasn't asking for a refund of 5 years even though I am certain I canceled my membership via phone. I remember doing it on the drive out of state. All I asked for was a cancelation and to waive the past 4 to 5 months of dues on an account that hasn't been used but has been paid for 5 years. Instead, I was met with lies, accusations, and a conversation where he overlooked solutions, and every other sentence was about paying the remaining balance because "their hands are tied". Truly one of the worst examples of customer service and business management that I have ever experienced. This level of apathy and greed speaks to where their concerns lie, and it is not with you the customer. Do yourselves a favor and find a gym with a good staff. A good staff makes a world of difference.

The young lady that had helped me was such a wonderful women. I believe her name was Giselle. Such a hard working, strong minded young lady. Now these are the type of people we need working in our gyms. I had the best experience at the Salinas planet fitness. And will continue going because it’s affordable, clean and comfortable experience overall!

I’ve had a fantastic experience at the gym, largely thanks to Erik. From the moment I walked in, he was welcoming and attentive, making sure I felt comfortable and informed about the facility. His positive attitude and dedication to helping members achieve their fitness goals truly stand out. If you’re looking for someone supportive, knowledgeable, and friendly Erik is the person to see. Highly recommend!

Prob the most unsanitary member wise. The members don't clean up or wipe the seats after themselves. I got jock itch several times here and jock itch is a fungal overgrowth and my fungal levels are lower than the average person so when I sit on a seat that some person hadn't wiped and I stupidly assumed it's clean. I got it, I even got strep and the cold from here. Wipe everything before use you will be saved especially from the members who mock you for getting jock itch when they just sweat all over the machines and let the fungal grow on it. Update if you outlift them, they'll also be more angry and whiny like a princess. Not to mention their little tamper tantrums.

Shout to Amalia! It’s nice to come in for a workout and be greeted by a friendly person. Not only does she make an effort to have the gym spotless but also she goes out of her way to help you with any questions you may have about the gym. Thank you Amalia!

Nice setup since the remodel. There's plenty of machines for cardio & to workout + free weights. The sauna and hot tub are cool features but I hardly use them myself. It's a fairly big gym with an indoor basketball court. The one thing that could be improved is making sure that the paper towel dispensers are refilled more often. There's plenty of parking, although it can get busy around 5-7 pm on weekdays. Friday evening and Sunday evening is when I find the gym less full.

Fun experience a little scary at first too but if you just ask around and even the people that work there everyone's kind and willing to help out and they definitely gave me a lot of advice and help me get into the flow of how things work there

Very clean, very friendly management. I just got into fitness and they made me feel very welcomed and comfortable. Nice atmosphere! I’d recommend!

I've been going to In-Shape for several years. I enjoy going to the many clubs throughout the state. One thing I get to experience at every club I've been to is lots of great equipment, well maintained by wonderful staff who are very kind and helpful. A special thanks to the crew that takes care of the clubs and members!

They let men work on their cars in the parking lot. Makes it uncomfortable to walk into the gym

I have been going to this Camp every day for 11 days. I love it! Everyone in the gym from front desk employee to trainers to member is absolutely friendly and nice.The gym is clean! The classes are very challenge but I like them all. ( you can modify each routine to your own with trainer’s instruction and build up your strength as time goes on as I do).I already feel stronger after 11 classes. As a marathoner and an older runner , I do need this type of training to help me get stronger , burn my body fat to build muscle so I can run faster!😬I enjoy classes of different trainer.Even-though, we work in group but the trainer walks around to make sure we get correct form during training. In this camp, you get support from trainer to member. I can’t wait to come to class every day and am looking forward to achieving my goal to have a lean body and to feel stronger . If you are not self motivated to exercise on your own, join this Camp of Transformation! It will change you! You will be addicted to it! Especially thank you Kyle , the trainer for your encouragement!

I decided to join the Tc Salinas six months ago and since then I’ve been taking 2 clases almost every day. The equipment, trainers, and teammates are very friendly and always encouraging me to be better. It’s more than a gym, it’s a community where one can grow and become the best version of themselves.

The Camp Salinas has been a part of my life for 3 years and now it’s a daily routine! The AFF really helps you keep going and returning. As some as the training say: “Trust the Process” and “Don’t complain, enjoy the pain”.

As someone already mentioned here, this place is addicting! I love the positive environment, the routines are always different and challenging, the gym is clean, the staff is outgoing, and everyone is super supportive of others' individual journey. If you enjoy the community vibe and want to step up your fitness level, this is a great place to do so.

I have working on my balance as well as my coordination which I am noticing a great improvement! Thank you!

Coach Stephanie is great with the kids. Making them feel loved, welcomed and encouraged. My daughter was with her for 5 years when we decided to switch gyms- Stephanie not only stopped our membership mid month (she reimbursed the difference) she did it after our last comp via email the next day. My daughter who was 10 at the time didn’t get to go say bye to any of the coaches let alone her gym sisters. She was left completely with NO CLOSURE. It was more upsetting that Stephanie didn’t want to say goodbye to her or send her off with support. Especially when she’s all about girl power and supporting one another. This was a VERY hard lesson my daughter had to learn let alone I’m sure the other girls confused as well as they had no closure or what ever Stephanie chose to tell them. Wishing her the best on her new gym.

Amazing place in Salinas. I take my 2-year-old there for the 9:30 Saturday playdate. She enjoys it so much. She calls it, run and jump.

Stephanie Bayer is simply the best, with the best prices in town!!! She took my two kids that used to trip over air and helped my son become grounded and sure footed. She helped my daughter become a beautifully graceful, competitive gymnast. We have been with KCUSA for 6 years and would never go anywhere else!!!

My daughter & I love this place!!! Been a part of Kidz Corner USA since my daughter was 6 yrs old (she’s now 10). She’s a member of their gymnastics comp team. Everything about this place is very welcoming. They get the kids involved in so many things. Whether it’s inside the gym or doing outside projects, such as the Kiddie Kapers parade. She makes it fun for everyone. It’s also a lot less expensive than all other similar programs in the area. The classes are also much smaller so you get more personal one on one time with your child. If your child likes gymnastics, dance, cheerleading or just wants somewhere to go to have fun, this is the place to go. I’d definitely recommend this place!!

Stephanie is a rare find. Wonderful with the kids, professional and just a sweet person. We have been with her almost 5 yrs and I'd never have anyone else coach my kids!

Quick Summary: By far the worst hygienic gym I’ve been to. Maintenance is lacking as well. Poorly managed. Pros: 1. Warm running shower water 2. Not busy in the morning 4am-6am Cons: 1. Dirty lockers and bathrooms. Caustic built up. Rust built up on some screws/bolts. 2. Uses rags. No wet wipes. 3. Poorly maintained equipment. Benches not checked since March 24, 2021. 4. Only 2 adjustable benches at free weights. 5. Free weights are not in order. You’ll spend extra time looking for the weights you need. 6. Water from refill station had over .09 particles. Not sure if it has a filter or it needs replacement.

Came to workout today and as I was checking in Deena the front desk employee was socializing ignoring members and not greeting anyone. She was very rude and wasn’t friendly at all when she made contact with me. Employee needs training and needs to understand customer service skills. Horrible experience!

I use a variety of equipment that is set up in one place for a total body workout. I'm 77 and In Shape keeps me fit and going strong. In 4 months I lost weight & 4" off my waist.

It is an excellent facility to include any and all equipment that one could want or need to use. The staff is very friendly and willing to help as needed.

Humberto was super friendly and welcoming. Facility is clean and kept up very large lots of equipment
