Best Gym near Watsonville, California

I joined this gym for the pool access and I wasn't disappointed! They completely renovated it and you can tell how nice it is especially compared to the last gym that was there. Saltwater filtration system, so no chlorine irritation or smell. It's on the chilly side, but as a former competitive swimmer that is much appreciated compared to the bathtub-like conditions at Gold's Gym. I think it's a couple inches shy of 25 yards, but close enough! They have a nice reservation system that makes it easy to make sure you have your own lane even though I think most people would appreciate a longer time slot than 30 minutes. Staff is nice, bathrooms are clean, easy to sign up, pause or cancel membership if needed. Highly recommend!

You can get a 24/7 membership. Staff is very nice & polite. Strong people skills specially Jesus. I strongly recommend this gym.

It's a great gym ,,but I feel like the 24 hour access should have the showers available coming out at work at 11 u want to work out and shower before you head out I think that's a good idea to include the showers in all the toadal gyms

Super friendly! Love their daycare staff! My daughter begs we go everyday lol. There for five stars💗

Omg! Yes yes yes! All machines are working not to expensive! I love to work out here especially meeting new people as to be working out 🏋️‍♂️ the pool is fantastic I just wish there was a hot tub 🛁 😎to relax but either than that it’s amazing thank you guys so much have a year contract with you guys if anything there should be a hot tub please! 🙏 thank you yet again to keepin me in shape answer all of my questions and making sure everyone is in good shape 🏋️‍♀️

The gym is great but information about contract is deceiving. I was told I had to pay the full remaining balance of the contract if I want to end it & I found out I could pay $100 to end it while reading the small letters of the contract. It’s sketchy because they basically kept $900+ from me instead of the $100… and now add the random maintaining fees? The gym is scamming people. They also say there’s a woman’s section only & when I complained on a creepy man going in there I was told they couldn’t deny him services?

Disclaimer: I travel for a living and I use Golds Gym all over so I know the protocol for when coming from out of town and Before even entering I was treated quite rudely. As a golds member I’m usually greeted with a hello and or good (morning/afternoon/evening.) Not a deep aggressive or rated attitude saying to me, “your from Texas.” Not a hello or good morning like he gave others who came in before or after me. I am not deaf I can hear very well. He unfortunately did not have a name tag on just a black team member shirt so no real way to identify but give a description so if Golds wants to actually get this resolved they can reach out directly to me and we can work this out. I clearly parked in the first handicap spot which allows the desk person know I’m disabled since my plates have a wheelchair on them. Then immediate stated it’s private and demanded my id still not a hello or good morning. I definitely understand coming from a different state there is a process with Golds again been to plenty of other Golds not in Texas, it’s all about the treatment. Then asking me my name and having made a copy of my id and tag without even letting me know he was gonna do it just demanding I give him things. Then he went as far as questioning my name and what I want to be called. No conversation as to what he is doing or why. In fact it made me feel very unwelcomed that I’m unwanted in this Golds Gym. I come to workout just like everyone else not to be treated rudely at 4:00 am pst. It’s sad that someone gets the most unwelcoming welcome at 4 AM. The equipment looks practically brand new, and has minimal wear and tear. The restrooms are hidden and can be hard to find if your not given a tour or at least explained where things are. Heads up bathrooms are to the right of the front desk pass the stairs to the left. To use cardio equipment you need to go upstairs. There is an outdoor workout area as well more for cross fit training. The bathroom for it just being opened was a mess. I’m not sure if it was cleaned the night before or not but I didn’t take a shower due to the locker room situation I’ll be heading back to a Planet Fitness for that, since I know there’s is clean. When I was working out downstairs the front desk guy kept starring at me and I just felt so uncomfortable. My experience was not one I would have ever expected due to the Golds Gym standard yet to my surprise I had the complete opposite experience. This is why the two stars is based on the experience overall.

terrible establishment drive elsewhere or check out body-zone way better gym. if you sign a contract make sure you know it will be virtually impossible to cancel. if you try and cancel early they will charge you 300$ and if you wait until your contract ends they will charge you an extra month "its takes 2 weeks to cancel" manager is never available. management is trash and they shut the lights off 10-15 prior to closing at times. cleaning ladies will be inside the locker rooms while people are changing. just all around terrible gym. go to bodyzone or todal but stay far far away from this scam of a "gym"

SCAMMERS!!! Stopped going to their Watsonville branch due to their service and equipment, to found out 5 months later a collector called me saying i owed them $250 for 5 months not paying and going to their gym, i signed up for a monthly membership! No calls, no emails regarding this that they will be charging me even i don’t go to their gym anymore, a month after not going to their gym they should of call or emailed me that i need to cancel my “monthly” (not a contract) membership or else they will continually charge me and they really waited for 5 months before letting me know so they can charge $250!!! A friendly advise not to go to their gym or make sure if you sign in for a monthly membership, ready their “terms and conditions” and when you realized i was right MAKE SURE TO TALK TO THEM IN PERSON TO CANCEL YOUR MEMBERSHIP or else you will be charge without knowing and 5 months later collectors will call you.

As a member of almost 2 years, I wish I had positive things to say about this gym. To start off, the gym’s equipment is always damaged or broken. It takes them weeks-months to replace/fix (if this even happens). The pictures I attached were taken recently during the same week. Members get charged a ridiculous $50 equipment fee per year on top of the membership price which does not makes sense since equipment is aways out of service, damaged, or not safe to use.. Where is our equipment fee going? Two machine seats were broken, there is a leak from the roof (for months), and certain machines are not safe to use. Since COVID, the gym has made changes to the gym and closed off areas so that everything is closer together vs prioritizing members safety and ensuring there is proper social distancing. I’ve had an experience where extra charges where made to my account and it was hard to get a hold of someone. When I did, it was one of the managers, they had a rude attitude and were wanting me to be okay with their mistake instead of apologizing for wasting my time. I am so thankful my contract will soon be over and can look for a different gym. I do not recommend it and will be encouraging friends and family to not sign up this.

Nice family place, good for kids and adults alike. It's nice to have a safe place where the kids can go to get exercise and be with other kids. The front desk staff is always friendly and helpful. My only complaint is that music for dance classes is waaaaaaaaaaayyyyyyyyyyy too loud, you can hear it out to Moss Landing!

Do not come here, they will let you sign up knowing they are over max capacity as long as you give them your money. I went there once, gym was over packed,zumba class as well, very hot in both places, no air conditioner,smelled bad,girl that does the billing part is rude seems like she hates her job. Save yourself the headache

My experience at the Y was okay and I was able to go swimming without any issues, but the sauna was very unsanitary and the shower water was boiling hot. Also, the locker room floor was very dirty (I've seen cleaner locker room floors) and its apparent that no one bothers to clean the locker rooms at least once a day. If you're not bothered by unsanitary conditions, go ahead and workout there.

I love this place. Its a great place to take my family, there is something for all of us. My kids do the group exercise class for kids and youth sports, my wife does many of the group classes, and I use the weight room. The staff is awesome and knows my whole family!

They are irresponsible. I went to sign up my son for soccer and because I did not have the exact amount of cash on me my son did not get to sign up. How can this place accept money but not have change. Then they never said nothing about a dead line. Or bothered to call me an let me know they're was one.

Powerhouse Gym is the cleanest gym that I have ever belonged, and the hospitality of the staff and friendliness of the members makes it even better. The smoothie bar and retail is great; the personal trainer is very knowledgeable and the equipment is outstanding.

First off this gym is welcoming and perfectly located. The staff members are kind and welcoming all the time. Machines are in good standings and the weights are good. Kickboxing class is amazing! Nancy kicks your butt and makes you want to come back each time, she’s fun, kind and knows her stuff. What would make the gym even better is keeping the shades half way down as i don’t like when working out ppl from outside can see you specially at night time.

this gym is very clean and well managed. The entire staff is friendly and helpful. Because of the example the staff demonstrates the members are quite good at wiping equipment after use as well as putting equipment away. I'm glad I joined this center

Hands down the cleanest, friendliest and welcoming gym I’ve been to. The staff is great, specially Nancy, the kickboxing instructor - she’s a huge reason Im committed to consistently making it into the gym. Thanks for making working out enjoyable and challenging!!!

Victor is a very great employee. Always cleaning and greeting customers. An employee who gets along with everyone and interacts with people who workout is great as well. It’s what’s brings more people to the gym feeling comfortable knowing employees treat them with respect and are able to interact with them.

BodyZone is the best gym in town. I joined in 2016 and never left until I moved out of town. Now in a new city, I find myself looking for all the qualities BodyZone has that I just can’t find anywhere else. Matt the owner is always so friendly and truly cares about the gym, the members and his staff. The staff and everyone else is always so welcoming. I was able to make so many new friends and called BodyZone my second home. Love this gym !

The Pros are that the equipment is updateded. The staff is professional and helpful. There are plenty of sanitary stations. They sell water bottles and energy drinks. The cons are the aesthetics of the gym need to be updated. Adding more weights to the dance/stretch room. Bathrooms stink all the time. (I understand its a restroom but toilets can't even flush) please paint the walls or something. The gym just lacks feng shui. Other than that if you come inspired your set, if you don't then its gonna take awhile 🙃

This gym feels spartan. It could use a little drywall work and a fresh coat of paint, but personally I think it gives the place a little character and sets the tone for a good workout. The floor layout is nice, and they have all the equipment you need. Staff is always friendly. My only complaint would be about the locker room. The shower heads are coated with mineral deposits, and the sinks could use new fixtures too.

Spacious, clean comfortable gym with friendly helpful staff and diverse patrons. Very COVID conscious. I'm so grateful they've been flexible and adaptable in finding ways to keep us working out! Angie at the front desk is a treasure, and Buddy is a fantastic trainer.

I have been attending Body Zone Gym for the last 8 months and equipment is split between chest , shoulders, back and leg press machines using plates from 5 to 45 pounds, also has cable equipment along with multiple sets of barbell’s and cardio equipment for indoor and outdoor work outs in the fresh air. Has a group room for Cardio and Shotokan karate, with Boxing 🥊 bags and speed bags, this gym also offers babysitting, hot sauna, barber shop, and the staff is friendly and helpful Does get a little crowded at times but so do all other gyms I have been a member of in the area

Family friendly, strength and conditioning for all sports backgrounds

Adriana is an amazing physical therapist. She is also a fantastic human being. She has helped myself, as well as my wife, address and overcome specific physical issues as related to accident or injury. Adriana is thorough, thoughtful and caring. She does a fantastic job of tailoring workouts and exercises to your specific needs. If you are willing to put in the time and effort, I am confident she can help you to resolve your issues as well.

Adriana provided me with excellent physical therapy following my injury. In addition to addressing my specific injury, she also shared valuable techniques for safe and effective weight training. Her professionalism and enjoyable demeanor made the entire experience a pleasure. I wholeheartedly recommend her services.

Adriana is simply amazing. Her evaluation and subsequent treatment plans have always worked for me, always, every time. That is, if you do the work she has given you ! Her manual techniques are wonderful, be ready to leave her office feeling better!

Dr. Mesa was so helpful during my knee rehab! In that first session, she was able to help get me from a 6/10 pain to a 2/10 pain and stay there. She has a wealth of knowledge and real world experience in helping people's body's get strong again. Highly recommend!

Adriana is top notch in every way. She is highly skilled and compassionate. I am a therapeutic massage therapist and have referred many of my clients to her. Every single person has said that Adriana helped them significantly. I personally received PT from her to rehab a broken ankle, which then led to knee and hip issues. She is very thorough in her approach, and if you DO THE WORK, you will absolutely get results from her treatment plan. I cannot say enough good things about her!

Pilates with Brian over the past few months has been such a joy. I look forward to each session and know that I will be challenged, yet in a measured and thoughtful way. Brian is fun and encouraging and has really changed the way that I think about my body. Lower back pain is completely gone, balance is improved, and I feel stronger and altogether healthier. I am so thankful to have found Brian and Redwood Pilates.

I’ve had the pleasure of practicing Pilates with Brian for the past 8+ months, and experienced significant improvement in not just my strength and flexibility, moreover overall wellness. The tightness and subsequent chronic pain I’ve had in my shoulders, knees, and hips for years are GONE, and my posture has dramatically improved. Having been to a few studios before Redwood Pilates, what keeps me practicing with Brian is his ability to understand what you need, and create a class that week after week makes progress to your goal. He is passionate and genuinely believes in the potential of his clients. The magical drive through the redwoods is the icing on the cake! 50/10 stars! Give it a try! Your mind and body will thank you!!!!

Anand/Brian is a joy to be around. His presence radiates the room with love. Working with him not only with yoga but pilates too has allowed my body to fill the spunk, laughter, play, and so much darn strength. His flow allows for rest, to follow your breath, and to make connections to the muscles to build your strength through all parts of self. I love that his work is filled with love and by love because that’s what we came to earth to do. Aśe

I attended my first EVER pilates class with Brian today and it was AMAZING! I'm 100% hooked. I bought a membership while I was still in the parking lot after a free intro class at his new Watsonville location. I love that he is bringing pilates to Watsonville, and I love the vibe of the class and Brian. If you are nervous like I was, don't be! It is an absolutely wonderful experience!

I highly recommend this studio! Anand is a patient, fun, research-backed coach. He helped me ease back into training after a year of chronic back pain and is able to tailor programs to individual needs. Thank you Redwood Pilates!
