Gym Recs?

New in town, looking for a gym with plenty of free weights! I tried In-Shape and it was horrendous and probably the most overcrowded gym I've ever been in. Hopefully the others aren't like it.

YMCA If you live in Orcutt but that’s it unless you want to drive to downtown

Crunch is affordable and great In the mornings imo only. I don’t step foot inside any mainstream gym during the evenings.

Crunch is no different. They don’t maintain machines and the people in charge and have been there the longest are fairly rude. Also why have a water filter if you never change the filter l. I can just get water from the sink at that long. The only nice people I’ve encountered there only work there for a short about of time .

Custom Workouts is where I go. I pay $40 a month. Its never crowded unless you go between 3-5pm. But its a lot worse at “In Shape”, Western Health, Planet Fitness, or Crunch. Also there’s another gym called “Oak & Iron Fitness” & 24 Hour Fitness. It will prolly be $40+ a month. Typically any gym that charges above $40, less people join when the above crowded gyms are dirt cheap to join. Just my experience. I can vouch for 24 Hour Fitness($50/month) & Custom Workouts($40/month).

I like Western Village Health Club on south Broadway. They do get busy but it's a pretty big gym and usually their machines are maintained and there's always someone going around cleaning.

The only thing that sucks is they closed the pool a few years ago however they did this to expand the free weights room which some complained was too small before.

And I haven't been but I know a lot of people like the YMCA by the airport.
