Gymnazo Reviews

Incredible place to workout, unlike any gym. At 63, I'm in the best shape of my life thanks to the classess that work every muscle in my body. Worth every penny. Wish I could give them 6 stars.

A great workout every time along with great people! Workouts can be tailored to fit your needs.

Gymnazo is my favorite place to be. It is my happy place! This is despite the fact that I am older, out of shape and heavy. But they accept me as is and are coming alongside me to help me get stronger, improve my cardiovascular condition, encourage me to do more than I thought possible and all that without injuries. Michael Hughes is a wonderfully gifted coach and innovative owner. He hires outstanding coaches, not one dud; they are highly personable, yet incredibly professional with just the right motivational influence. I found my peeps. It feels warm and welcoming and I know I'm gonna succeed and meet my goals.

Personable, helpful, observant and encouraging trainer. (Lou). Mercedes at front desk super friendly and helpful. The workout is effective!

Exercise is serios business. Well informed coaches. Excellent facility.

I was looking for a gym that offered small group strength training classes. I have had a few injuries from running and carrying my toddler around. Gymnazo is perfect. I went to Michaels class and he was very informative. They were all very welcoming and made me feel very comfortable. Great work out as well.

As an adult I have always hated working out. Going to the gym has always been a boring chore and because of that I have been unsuccessful in making regular exercise apart of my lifestyle. After having our child I was finally ready to get my body back and I knew going to a regular gym, running, or yoga wasn't going to work. I first experienced Gymnazo when they were located within our local traditional gym several years back. I remembered how much fun I had working out and I knew their approach to exercise would be my only hope for a lifestyle change. So far it has been a great experience. Signing up for a class beforehand holds me accountable and the workouts are challenging and fun. The group of coaches are friendly and knowledgeable. The facility is clean and well thought out. Gymanzo is for everyone and every level. Highly recommended!

Gymnazo is a very different type of gym, at least for me. Working with a leader is extremely helpful in balancing the exercises and being mindful not to hurt yourself, or to help get back in the groove if you have been away for whatever reason. There is a very large set of exercises and stretching that can be done with simple equipment that can be used at home. The exercises make me aware of the relationships of muscle groups I'm not normally aware of, and there is a lot of variety. I've only worked with Michael, but I'm sure this holds true for all of the leaders: the mantra is to just keep trying, there is no negative judgement of how out of shape you were before joining, only positivity. I really like all the people involved with Gymnazo and can tell that other clients feel the same. It's a great business.

Great trainers that remember your specific needs and check in throughout the workout. Very comfortable environment and friendly, helpful staff. Always enough parking and not overly crowded classes. Definitely recommend!

Fantastic gym!! Never boring, great workouts for every level.

I ve only taken one session so far but my first impression was that it is a very welcoming and inclusive place. Signing up for a specific session day and time motivated me to get there. Once I arrived, there were introductions all around and a full explanation of what we were going to do. The exercises were not complicated but did work a variety of muscle groups, especially core. It was a very enjoyable work out.

Five stars for Gymnazo! Michael Hughes brings enthusiasm, energy, and innovation to every workout session. The facility is clean, efficient, and well-run. I have experienced progress and improvement in my personal (equestrian) goals since the first meeting. I'm excited to add Gymnazo into my regular training routine!

I can't say enough great things about Gymnazo! The workouts are challenging (both physically and mentally) and constantly changing so I never get bored. The coaches are incredibly supportive and they try to cater workouts to members, whether it be tweaking exercises up or down, or changing an exercise to accommodate an injury. Gymnazo truly gives you the tools and the support to reach your fitness goals and provides a sense of community where everyone feels like family--I couldn't imagine my life without this amazing place!

OMGoodnessssss, where do I start? First off, Michael Hughes an AMAZING trainer, motivator, leader, and overall business professional. I was extremely apprehensive to start working out again and the thought of a gym-like atmosphere totally made me tremble. However, I'm a professional acquaintance of his wife Paden, who's equally AMAZING, she encouraged me to get healthy and look into Gymnazo. I did and I'm so grateful. This does not feel like a Gym but a high quality, private, personal neighborhood training center w/elite trainers all at my fingertips. The equipment and overall design of the studio is top notch! I highly recommend Michael & his staff.

The ability to train in a non-judgmental environment.

I love Gymnazo, by far my favorite gym in SLO...45 min-ish workouts that will kick your butt and leave you satisfied. Try it!

Gymnazo is the best gym I've ever been to. Before discovering them I hated the gym. I would go for an hour or two and feel as though I wasted my time. But with Gymnnazo the workout is always different and challenging. In just a short amount of time I feel better than I've felt in years. The coaches are amazing; they're knowledgeable, fun and encouraging. Gymanzo will be my gym for may years to come.

While researching for a gym last year I had an idea of what I wanted. I was new to the area and I didn't want any old traditional gym. I wanted something that would keep me accountable, consistent, engaged, and push me outside of my comfort zone. Gymnazo did that and more. This gym is a community of amazing people of all ages and all athletic abilities. There is absolutely no judgment here. The coaches are extremely knowledgeable and inspiring. You will quickly realize that Gymnazo is like your cup of coffee; you can t start your day without it!

First of all, I never take the time to write reviews, but GYMNAZO deserves one. If you are bored of the same old workouts and need some consistent and personal motivation, this place is for you! The energy and encouragement goes beyond the coaches as everyone is there to keep
each other going! You leave GYMNAZO with a smile on your face knowing you got an awesome workout and made a new friend along the way. This is the best kept secret in SLO!

Everyone is very positive, friendly, and knowledgable. I like the small group classes. The workouts are challenging and fun. What I like most of all is the greeting by name as I arrive and leave. I definitely recommend Gymnazo to anyone looking to make a positive change.

The team excels in professionalism and customer service. Also a dedication to the science of movement.

I have to take the time to rave about Gymnazo. The personalization, the quality, the consistency, the environment, the PEOPLE, the communication, the full service support and more are what keep me coming back. Everything about my experience at Gymnazo makes me feel great about what i'm doing - trying to be healthier! While it's more expensive than most gyms in the area, i feel it's a tremendous value and worth every penny. You get out every bit of what you put into it and I see myself as a long term (family) member! Thank you!!

Love the coaches. Love the workouts. A lot of variety for all fitness levels.

First and foremost, excellent workouts with extremely knowledgeable coaches. The workouts never get stagnant as they are always changing. Secondly, the staff is excellent. The right amount of accountability never feeling pressured. And finally, the gym and it s high end equipment is always clean. Best gym in SLO.

After a history of exercising at traditional gyms with traditional weights and equipment stations, I decided that my body, as it was "maturing", needed a greater variety in movement! I jumped into Gymnazo, a exercise facility that was created by its owner, Michael Hughes, to train the body as it functionally moved throughout the day. My body has totally responded to this innovative, circuit style approach to exercise...I'm stronger, more flexible and less prone to injury!

Great circuit training workout with modification options. High energy to get you through the intense workout. Trainer was friendly and engaging.

I found Gymanzo after incurring a serious physical injury and cannot express enough how LUCKY I was to get connected to them. I broke my L1 vertebrae in a rock climbing accident about two years ago and had to have surgery resulting in a fusion from my L3 - T12. I almost lost my ability to walk and was in an upper body cast for several months. During this time, I experienced huge losses to my mobility and strength; and, since then I have had to learn how to deal with chronic lower back pain. Throughout my recovery, it has been difficult for me to find trainers or coaches who were willing to help. Either they lacked knowledge of how to support me or were to afraid to offer any guidance given the severity of my injury. Even physical therapists were only able to help me with the basics of regaining my mobility.

When I finally met the coaches at Gymnazo everything changed. They were not only willing to help, but it felt like they truly cared and were invested in my recovery. The whole injury had felt isolating and when I met Gymnazo it suddenly felt like I had a team cheering me along through my healing. At my sessions the coaches would work to understand my injury and how it impacted the way my body moved. Then, they would use this information to create personalized programs with goals of rebuilding my strength, and most importantly reducing my pain. And the best part was, they would adjust based on what my body was feeling in the moment. After just a few months of this, I couldn't believe how much of an impact the training had made on my recovery. With the reduction in my pain, I was finally making physical gains - and I had Gymnazo to thank!

On top of all that, the coaches create such a FUN and supportive community. They are all clearly passionate about fitness and health. It seems like every session I gain new insight into how the human body functions, and this just highlights how committed the coaches are to learning. Finally, as a team, they are creative and adaptable; and, this is what sets them apart from other gyms. I HIGHLY recommend Gymnazo to anyone who is seeking ANY type of help with their health goals. They care about each one of their clients and work hard to ensure you find success. If you are willing to take the necessary steps to improve, they will be right there with you. They are the gym and the coaches you have been looking for.

Fantastic atmosphere, extremely knowledgeable staff.

It's only been a few weeks, but I already feel like I am a part of the Gymnazo family. Each workout is full of motivated people who support each other, and the coaches get to know who you are as a person as well as what works best for your ability level. It makes keeping yourself accountable for going that much easier because it is enjoyable. Already looking forward to my next workout!

Michael and Payden Hughes are at the forefront of a fitness revolution. Gymnazo is a place where athletes, fitness enthusiasts and "weekend warriors" can come together and train while at the same time minimize the likelihood of injury and maximize their knowledge and skills around proper body movements. I had the pleasure of going through an initial evaluation and private session to learn more about my body and what it is and isn't capable of. I learned a ton and was thoroughly impressed. I would recommend Gymnazo to my patients who are just recovering from an injury, wondering where to "go next", AND to my high level athletes who want to maximize their performance.

Effective workouts, incredibly helpful and kind staff, clean environment. Love the variation-avoids boredom. A great place to workout!

Amazing consistency and great implementation of a complex technology for the human body.

Gymnazo is such a "non-gym" experience and maybe that is why I love it! The facility is clean and the people that are there are happy to be there! The coaches and Michael are watching out for us and how we are working out to make sure we get a good and safe workout experience. I've been going 6 months now and still love going to class and more importantly I feel so great and am moving so much better!

Love the personal attention in a group setting. I also like that I can change the intensity of any workout depending on what I want to accomplish that day.

The frequency of classes makes it so easy to fit into my schedule. Love the staff...incredibly friendly and helpful!

I have been a long time member and believe that Gymnazo is a place everyone can benefit from and find amazing support in caring for your body. You'll find friends as well

I enjoy everything from the clean, well laid out facility to the the constantly changing classes. I'm rarely, if ever, bored with the workouts and never feel like I'm not getting my monies worth.

Super organized, professional, and personable all rolled into one.

Positive environment. Team atmosphere. Knowledgeable trainers.

My first experience at Gymnazo was awesome! Coach Kyle was great! He broke down the movements and demonstrated them in a way that was easy to follow. He was encouraging and helpful during the class. Gymnazo has an excellent facility and their workouts are challenging but functional in nature. Great for all levels of fitness.

The gym is meticulously kept up! I love the equipment--so much easier to figure out than at other gyms! The staff is wonderful!
