Top 5 Fitness & Instruction in California

1 Bicknell Ave, Santa Monica, CA 90405, United States

“No call no show from the coach??? Booked one reservation a week in advance for a group lesson for 2:15pm. Arrived at the exact spot I was instructed to at 1:50pm and saw no one in sight. Called the phone number listed on the website at 2:05pm to make sure I was where I was supposed to be and my called was rejected. They immediately texted me asking if I was calling for surf lessons. I responded immediately by saying I already made a reservation but didn’t see anyone. 14 minutes later: “Hold on, I’ll check with the coach.” 5 minutes go by. At this point it’s 10 minutes after my lesson was supposed to have started so I simply say “If the lesson is cancelled, please just let me know now so my refund can be processed and I don’t have to wait around.” 3 minutes later they text and say they’ll be refunding me. I came to LA on vacation and won’t get another opportunity to try surfing for a long time. Therefore, I tried to pick a place that seemed professional and reputable. Turns out, this is not that place. Had they told me the lesson would be canceled even a day earlier, my girlfriend and I would have been able to plan to spend our one allotted day at the beach doing other fun things instead of preparing for a surf lesson that never happened. Had I not contacted them myself, I wonder if they would have ever realized a lesson was scheduled at all. The only thing keeping this review from being a one star rating is that they did process the refund quickly. However, even though I got the email confirmation of the refund quickly, the email stated that the funds would be refunded to my bank account “up to 15 working days” later. TL;DR: Surf anywhere else. Edit: the morning after I left this review they attempted to call my cell phone at 8 in the morning, presumably to confront me about it. I, of course, did not answer.”

20701 Cereal St, Lake Elsinore, CA 92530, United States

“Heavily recommended drop zone for anyone visiting the Los Angeles area for a few days, professional instructors and a truly fun and welcoming atmosphere..and the landscape view from 7500ft is addictive.”

“Best shoe fitting experience any athlete can have. Got my feet and gate pattern scanned and shoes were picked to suit my needs. My sales associate/shoe technician made an educated recommendation and I left with the perfect pair of running shoes!!! Also, in store there’s a ton of valuable stuff. Vests, water bottles, running clothes, socks, hats, and tons of other stuff to aid you in your running journey!!! Absolutely amazing”

“Mackenzie was the best! She fitted me for my next running shoe. She was very considerate of my concerns and gave me a thorough analysis. She explained what I should particularly be looking for in a running shoe and presented me with a few different pairs for me to try. She also offered socks and insoles but was not at all pushy about it. I found the perfect pair of running shoes thanks to her expertise! Also purchased some running socks. She also provided me w/ info and suggested i attend the store's evening runs. Which I may be doing soon :) I will definitely be returning for all of my running needs!”

”This place is just perfect! They maintain the holds really well and the facility itself is very clean. In addition, they frequently reset the walls to replace old climbs with new ones. They have a nice workout area as well for all your lifting needs!”

4275 Mission Bay Dr. #110, San Diego, CA 92109, United States

”I've been going to Revel for 6+ months and every time, I walk out challenged and exhausted, but also feeling beyond proud to "revel" in the fact that I achieved more than I thought I could. 💪 Scheduling is super easy online or via their app. Then, in the 50 min class you will switch back and forth between treadmill cardio exercises and bench exercises for a well rounded workout meticulously timed to make the most of every second you're in the gym. Special shout out to Keara, who always brings the heat 🔥 and the beats 🎵 to take you to the next level. Cannot recommend her classes enough if you're looking to take your fitness to another level.”

Twin Peaks Blvd, San Francisco, CA 94114, United States

”Hard to beat in terms of panoramic view of the city that isn't overly crowded like some other SF city hills. Only downside is that the wooden stairs leading up from Twin Peaks Blvd. are a bit rickety and some steps are rotting to the point where you need to be very careful, especially on the way down. Stairs on the north side leading to Belgrave Ave. are in much better shape. On a sunny day the view is pretty amazing, especially of the Golden Gate bridge, Marin headlands, downtown SF skyline, and the SF Bay and Port of Oakland.”

505 Colorado Ave, Santa Monica, CA 90401, United States

”This was my first time at the Row House and I already can’t wait to go again!! Everyone there, coaches and class goers alike, were SO nice, welcoming, and friendly. I did a Thursday night row with Coach Jackson where we spent the whole time on the erg (no weights/floor work) who kept us HYPE the whole time. The music, lighting, and singing were well worth the trip to Santa Monica. I sweat my butt off but had the best time doing it!!!”

”Thank you for your recent purchase at Fleet Feet Pleasanton! We value your opinion and would love to hear about your recent visit. Please take a moment to complete a short survey. First off, on a scale from 0 - 10, how likely are you to recommend Fleet Feet to a family member, friend, or colleague? 0 = Not at all likely ... 10 = Extremely likely 10 Please tell us why you gave us that rating? I had never been to Fleet Feet before and just happened to wander in as I needed a new pair of good shoes. The gentleman that helped me was so friendly and extremely knowledgeable. He definitely taught me a LOT about shoes that I never knew. I ended up leaving with a new pair of shoes and insoles to help with arch support. This is hands down the best fitting and most comfortable pair of shoes I've ever worn. I will definitely be back and will be letting all of my friends and coworkers know about the amazing, custom service this establishment provides! 😁”

245 Anchor Way, Crescent City, CA 95531, United States

”A really nice place to stop on our drive into the redwoods. A really busy beach, with lots of campers set up. The weather was really chilly in July so come prepared!”

45500 CA-1, Big Sur, CA 93920, United States

”The campground was clean, the bathrooms and trash were well maintained, and most of the trails were open. We stayed at the trail camp, it wasn’t too long, (1/4mi) or difficult, but does have about 10 stairs so plan accordingly. The distance …”

”That's definitely a cute farm worth visiting for a while. They have animals like rabbits, chickens, cows, etc. Also, it's easy to park. (Free parking)”

1935 Manhattan Beach Blvd, Redondo Beach, CA 90278, United States

”Love it, love it, LOVE IT!!!! It's a well maintained track. Plenty of room to walk, jog or run over five lanes. Has been a favorite of mine over time. I used the track when I trained for the LA Marathon 2000!”

482 University Ave, Los Altos, CA 94022, United States

”This is a wonderful pocket of peace and tranquility in the middle of the suburban Bay area. You can spend anywhere from 20 min to 2 hours here and despite it being such a small area it is laid out really well. There is a winding river bed that goes through the nature preserve, so I imagine in the spring or after heavy rain there may be water flowing. However, in September/October the water bed was dry. It does feel like you're in a Pacific Northwest Forrest and the air is so fresh!”

69 Big Break Rd, Oakley, CA 94561, United States

”Awesome place we stopped real quick to visit while passing through town. My girlfriend said she came here on a tour while in elementary school some 20+ years ago and was cool to revisit. Beautiful place and quiet”

12065-12115 Santa Gertrudes Ave, La Mirada, CA 90638, United States

”Great little park for kids young people and for adults. Small trail for horses, great for pets, and small sports. For runner joggers and walkers. There's a small horse corral at the edge of the park and small hills to make a challenging workout. Leading out of the park, a trails continues to another park. Easily a 3 mile out and back and possibly up to 6 miles on a good workout . Great parking area, many walkers and older people can be found. If it were a trail in the hills, I would have given it a 5...”

5612 N Figueroa St, Los Angeles, CA 90042, United States

”The classes and instructors are pretty great but entering a classroom and seeing dried sweat pools all over the floor is really gross. Especially when your teacher cues a pose that requires your arms or legs to rest on the sweat-crusted floors. It would be great if some cleaning could be scheduled between classes. Also, it’s kind of disappointing to come here only to see the owner respond with snarky and condescending responses to any critique or concerns.”

2140 Mandela Pkwy, Oakland, CA 94607, United States

”One of the coolest rock climbing gyms ever! It’s HUGE and has so many different routes to climb. Spent a couple hours here, it was a ton of fun.”

8230 Electric Ave, Stanton, CA 90680, United States

”Amazing staff! Being there for the first time, Jennifer at the counter checked me in with a warm welcome and gave me an extra 15 minutes and a free target to start testing my Springfield XD handgun, which I had purchased a few years ago. During the checkout, Alec provided exceptional customer service, provided some valuable insight on how I can upgrade my handgun, and gave me $10 off on the next visit~! Thank you for the five-star experience! I'll be returning soon~!”
