Superior Fitness

A wonderful experience at Superior Fitness. As a tourist passing through Santa Barbara, I needed a gym to maintain my routine. I found the owner Dustin to be extremely friendly and helpful. The weekly pass was very reasonably priced and the equipment is state-of-the-art, stocked full, clean and well maintained. The vibe and clientele were friendly and I had great workouts during my week in town. Highly recommend this gym for those passing through as well as those looking for a home gym!! More...

I signed up by the recommendation of my friend who had been working out here for a while. From the moment I came in as a guest, I loved it! The environment is really zen, you can feel that people actually come in to work out, not be on their phones and taking selfies. Dustin is definitely the best part about the gym though. He's extremely passionate about working our and even better, he's passionate about people coming in and meeting their goals. This is a GEM in a town that doesn't have too many affordable options. Definitely recommend it! More...

Dustin's Superior Fitness Center is the real deal. If you are looking for complimentary towels, couches, TVs, and a smoothie bar, this isn't that place. Come here if you are serious about health and fitness. Plenty of equipment and all in good working order. No lines, no waiting. Get in for your workout and get out on time. No makeup, no attitudes, no BS - just real, friendly staff and clientele who care about taking care of their bodies and getting into good, better, or best shape. The place is spotless and it's obvious everyone there takes pride in keeping it in top-notch shape. Oh yes, and the price is reasonable, and worth every penny. More...

Dustin and his team are true professionals and the gym itself is amazing. It has so many different kinds of equipment that I find myself trying new things all of the time. It is my neighborhood gym, and I can say that I've never felt more at home in the weights areas. I've been to other gyms in town, and there's no comparison to what Superior has to offer for the price of its monthly membership. Kudos to the folks at Superior for carving out a special spot in Santa Barbara. More...

Superior Fitness is more than a gym. Dustin (the owner) treats each of his members as family and it shows through his passion daily. It has been an amazing experience with all other trainers and members. Dustin creates a unique setting for a gym where love and anything positive energy is encouraged. Everyone is supportive and rooting for one another to reach their own personal goals. You can see this in all the members as well as the energy created at Superior is contagious. 5/5 would recommend signing up at Superior Fitness and speaking with Dustin about all his amazing training programs and classes.

Superior Fitness Center is more than just a neighborhood gym. Owner Dustin Allliano is dedicated to healthy, positive living in all spheres. HIs energy seems limitless. He has created Superior for individuals who want to better themselves—better their bodies, minds, their perspectives on life. Dustin sees in everyone this nascent drive to be the best we can be. Suprerior's staff is equally friendly and helpful. It is not unusual for a trainer to spontaneously step over, take the time to show a new member how to improve their form, maybe demonstrate how to adjust settings on unfamiliar equipment to get the best results. The equipment available to use includes pieces I've never seen in a workout room, and that equipment gets adapted for every need; ropes, huge tires, a device to practice tight-rope walking….A few of the many affirmative quotes in frames or painted on the walls are his, but he shares the space with the likes of Ernest Hemingway and many others. And, while in the past I might have dismissed such affirmations as just words, I see Dustin, his crew and Superior's diverse group of members take them to heart, as I am learning to do. Having reached an age where I am losing strength and balance at an alarming rate, I asked Dustin for help. In a few weeks, with his guidance and some of this equipment, I've watched myself grow stronger and my balance surer. Increasingly, those moments when I feel off-balance, which were a real concern after my first fall, occur less and less frequently. I feel increasingly confident as I workout—taking my first step onto the raised beam and slowly traversing the length—that I can do this, and that I am getting stronger, more sure-footed. Dustin's willingness to check in with me via text, to urge me on, to congratulate me on my progress has helped as well. No trainer I've worked with has shown that level of personal interest in my progress.It is a testament to Dustin and his team that I and the other seniors I see at Superior fit in with the school-age athletes at the weights, the men and women of all ages enjoying the classes and circuits, even the young man I suspect of being one of the Flying Wallendas, practicing on the ropes—all us, the diverse members of Superior Fitness, intent on self-improvement. It starts at the top. Superior Fitness may not fit the cookie cutter image you might expect of a fitness center, and that's a good thing. More...

this gym is an awesome place to workout if you don't really want to go to a big gym full of judgement. Everyone here I've met at superior is very down to earth and sees everyone as equal. And as far as the owner Dustin goes, hes only goal is to make you feel at home and make this place work for your needs. really down to earth guy. More...

I love Superior Fitness. Has more of a community gym feel than other gyms in town. Everyone is friendly there and the trainers are very knowledgeable and are willing to help. You can tell that the owner, Dustin, is passionate about what he does and cares about people being the best version of themselves they can be. Try one of the multiple group circuits offered which are both fun and beneficial as they target more functional mobility over just getting big. If you are an athlete do yourself a favor and strongly consider going to this gym. More...

I joined the Superior Family this past Fall after a number of years with Gold's Gym. As a person working out in a wheelchair, Dustin and his staff made me feel comfortable with the environment they created at Superior. In addition, if there is something I need to make my workouts easier for me I just need to ask and Dustin and his staff will accommodate me in anyway. I am forever grateful for the opportunities Superior has shown me now and in the future! More...

I love Superior Fitness. I was a member from 2010-2018 (I moved away for school). If you are looking for a fitness center that will push you to your limits, bring you out of your comfort zone, and a home away from home, sign up NOW. Superior is not a conventional gym. I wouldn't really call it a gym. I call Superior a transformative iron sanctuary that will test your discipline, strengthen your trust, and help you find more love within yourself. Dustin, the owner, is a true example of the aforementioned. He truly cares about you as a human being, and he will not let up in bringing out the best in you. All the trainers reflect what Dustin represents. High quality staff, even better environment. More...

Best kept secret in town! Great equipment, ample parking. Great selection of classes with competent trainers. If you’re looking for a serious gym not over-run by ding bats taking mirror selfies and grunting meatballs with zero clue and sloppy physiques, where the members smile and nod politely, re-rack their weights and generally keep to themselves to get real work done. . Then this place is for you. Conversely, if you’re new to lifting and fitness in general, the classes are top notch, and most of us in the weight room are more than happy to oblige a newbie with advice if solicited.. (between sets of course!) More...

I have had memberships at other fitness centers but have never had the sense that others cared much about anything but collecting the monthly fees.

They are committed to you optimizing your workout benefits and I can not recommend this business stronger.Superior Fitness is a living example of Conscious Capitalism...elevating humanity through business.

I really love this place. Recently joined for the classes since i dont like figuring out my own workouts. So far every instructor has been really excellent. Ive taken literally hundreds of other classes across the country and the ones here are amongst the best. Workouts are always different and effective no natter what your level is. They use different and fun equipment which i love. The owner and instructors are supppper nice and helpful. Also they are all very knowledgable and able to help w adjustments, alterations of exercises. Theres a nice combo of weights and cardio, and theyll never make u workout out on a cardio machine for more than a few mins (bc duh u can do that on ur own without paying for a class). I am so happy i found this gym. If ur looking for somewhere w all brand new everything and froofy this isnt that, but u will regardless get great workouts with expert trainers. More...

My experience training with Dustin Alliano at Superior Fitness has been life-changing. Growing up, fitness and health was never a big part of my life. I've always been overweight and continued to get bigger as I got older. I always thought that I just didn't like exercise, and that I could never get in shape.

I was referred to Dustin with the promise that he could do the impossible. When I first went to the gym. I immediately knew that Superior was a special place and that Dustin was a different kind of trainer. He is real and honest in a way that few are, and truly cares about your improvement as a whole person, not just in the gym. He will kick your ass, but he does it out of love.

I started seeing Dustin twice a week in February. We started with a sledgehammer circuit that was a lot of fun, and very therapeutic, as well as the dreaded Endurance Circuit. I did my job of showing up and working hard, but I would never have done those things without Dustin pushing me to do them and believing in me when I didn't. We have since moved on to a tire circuit and weight training, but Dustin and the trainers are always mixing it up with new and interesting exercises.

The benefits speak for themselves. I have lost over 40 pounds in 6 months and am in the best shape of my life; I can fully experience all the outdoors that Santa Barbara has to offer; I have gained confidence and determination, and motivation to improve in other areas of my life. All of this became possible through training at Superior Fitness. For that, I thank Dustin, and all the members of the Superior family. More...

I'm not where I want to be with my weight, but physically & mentally I feel stronger than I have in a long time. Who would've thought I would be flipping tractor tires!
