Personal Training

Always the best! I love love love GVAC and if it wasn't for me moving I would be there for many more years. The equipment is always the best, the staff is incredible and everything is always clean. I never had to worry, not even when COVID hit. As a girl, I'm always personally really worried about joining a gym and the "vibe" but I never ever worried here. I felt comfortable and always used GVAC as my "me time"space. If you are looking for a trainer BLAIR is the BESSSSTTT! He listens to what you are looking for, treats you like an individual, and pushes you to be your best. I already miss them! If you are thinking of joining, DO IT! More...

GVAC has transformed the club by moving a lot of equipment, both weights and cardio, outdoors. Multiple tents give shade to workout areas and required masks and social distancing make for a safe place to keep working out. Don’t let Covid19 stop your exercise! More...

I've been coming to GVAC for about a year now and I love it! I've been a member of my fair share of gyms in Santa Barbara but none compare to GVAC. The monthly price is a little on the pricier side but with all the amenities this gym has to offer, the price is definitely reasonable! This gym has two levels and the overall layout of the gym is great. Majority of cardio machines are upstairs including a spin room. Downstairs is primarily weight machines. All equipment is up to date and in very good condition! The gym has a sauna, locker rooms, an outdoor pool, studio rooms, an indoor court, and a cafe. Staff is friendly and welcoming! I love the hours as they are open early on weekdays. I wish however their weekend hours were earlier in the morning. The overall enrollment process is very simple and quick! I really enjoy how they have a great selection of workout classes to choose from on a daily basis. They have great HIIT workout classes, dance classes, etc. You will definitely build up a good sweat but will have tons of fun doing it! Something I really appreciate about this gym is the cleanliness! The staff ensures that the environment is cleaned thoroughly. ** They recently just reopened this gym and they put into place a lot of COVID precautions which I definitely appreciate! Some things being; touch free temperature scanner right when you walk in, masks must be worn prior to checking in and out, each GVAC member gets a personal disinfectant spray and towel for each gym visit. I feel like this ensures the gym equipment is being disinfected before and after each use. GVAC has also put gym equipment outdoors with tents in order to ensure that members are still able to use equipment with social distancing rules in place. All machines are spread out and feet away from each other. There's more areas with hand sanitizer. Water machines not being used to prevent the spread of COVID. I feel safer knowing that I can still get a good workout in with all these precautions in place. Thank you GVAC, keep up the amazing work! :) More...

Used to go to this gym before I moved, now I only use it when I am visiting.  This gym is the hidden gem of Goleta, no, scratch that, the hidden gem of all of Santa Barbara! ! The gym staff & owners clearly care about their customers and try to keep the gym in the best shape it can be. When I visited recently, they had upgraded significantly, and added machines that I wish my gym back home had.  Rarely ever crowded, the benefits of having a membership with this gym are ENDLESS!! If you are a student contemplating whether the price is worth it - I would 100% recommend this over the RecCen.  1. You don't have to fight for bike parking, nor do you have to pay.  2. It is a quick ~5 minute drive from IV.  3. It is not outrageously packed ever!!! When you sign up for a membership with this gym, you become part of a family.  The managers, sales team, trainers, front desk employees, welcome you in and make you feel at home. It is a safe space full of wonderful people that help and encourage you to reach your goal.  It is a judgment free zone! I miss this gym everyday and look forward to future visits.  P.S. You should try and take one of every class!  They are all so amazing!  I still can't pick a favorite! :) More...
