Capitola Fitness has been amazing for my Grandma. She’s 90 years old and takes their swim aerobics class and loves it. The front desk has let my boyfriend and I come in to show her a couple of moves and this has meant more to us than the gym will ever know as we’ve taught her how to get up from the ground on her own. In three month of her practicing that along with swim and the machines, she has made so much progress. This is the best gym for seniors in Santa Cruz. A great community of women, it’s keeping my grandma young at heart. It also has the basics if you’re not a senior and need to get a lift in. Can’t thank this gym enough for letting us show her some loves.

Great local gym. On the older side, but you get all of the equipment necessary for your workouts. Also has a swimming pool and 2 saunas which are great after working out. Not too crowded, not fancy, good working hours. You get what you pay for

this is a great gym tucked away in Capitola! They have a pool and classes I’m taking the tai chi class; they also have a full gym with exercise equipment. There’s a very nice staff that greets you with a smile, and several personal trainers. I highly recommend this gym I just joined and I’m very happy with it.

I have been coming for years. Good aquatic classes. A nice medium-sized club. With all the typical workout equipment. It has a large outside covered Pavilion for classes. Super-friendly staff.

Clean. Not crowded. Staff pleasant. Equipment older and not maintained. Little evidence of ongoing investment in facility.

So far, so good! We’ve only been going for about a month+. I like that it’s geared more for seniors. It’s low key and not crowded, at least when I go. Older equipment and machines, but they work! Friendly staff and fellow workout mates. However, I wouldn’t mind a bit of a “refresh” regarding sprucing up the locker room, jacuzzi area. I’ve never taken a shower or used the jacuzzi, so it hasn't affected me at this point. As long as we can keep the AARP insurance rate we presently have, I’m sure we’ll stay! I do hope that our annual “maintenance fee” will, indeed, go towards repairing and maintaining equipment.

I went to this gym 6-7 days a week for years.
There are some good things about this gym but the negative was too overwhelming and I tried to hold out as long as I could, but eventually had to leave.
Several times I would show up to the gym at 730 or 8 , when they close at 9 pm (which is already insanely early) and the gym would be locked up and closed... when I would call and complain to the owner he would defend this action. If I am paying for a membership and certain hours are stated, I expect it to be open during that time. I would plan my entire day around going to the gym. This gym doesn't have a huge customer base and is largely geared towards elderly, so it is very quiet in the evenings. The gym does have a nice warm pool, but the indoor hot tub and locker rooms are covered in mildew and nasty, the hot tub is inconsistently closed an hour or two before close, and the men's locker room smells like urine.

Somewhere in my phone I have a picture of like 8 buckets that are spread across the gym because the ceiling leaks all over. This is not a one time thing it happens whenever it rains and there seems to be no plan to fix.

When machines break they are not fixed and if they are fixed it can take months. The swimsuit drier broke and took 3 months to fix, and the owner made the members pay for it using the annual "upgrade fee"... when I signed up to the gym I was told this upgrade fee would be used to upgrade the gym not fix broken things. It was almost always used to fix broken stuff...

There was once a petition that went around trying to convince the owner to stay open later than 9pm on weekdays and 7pm on weekends. It had a large amount of signatures and then disappeared...

Very often when I would be doing an intense workout, the employees would come around 45 minutes before closing and close all the windows right next to me. If you have been to this gym you know it is already small and stuffy. I don't think it is professional to close the window if I am clearly sweating and hot and using it ( they also turn off the fans that would be pointing at me )
Whenever I would ask an employee a question, the answer would always be " I don't know"... I don't blame this on the employees but lack of management.
The facility is overall run down and dirty, the only reason I stayed here so long is because I try to be loyal to local businesses and I thought it was the cheapest place in town , well it's not, in shape is cheaper which is mind blowing...

I would not recommend this gym to anyone.

This facility is tiny, so when it's busy, it's challenging to access machines or workout inside. The fitness classes are ok and seems targeted to an elderly demographic. The locker rooms are old and could use some renovation. The spa and sauna are questionable. However - they have a bunch of free weights, kettlebells, medicine balls, resistance bands, half domes, pilates balls, even boxes and trx equipment, so if you are into resistance training and not so into machines, you will easily find *most* of what you need. Also, their outdoor fitness area is spacious and usually not busy, so I often do my workouts there. They also have a pool. Staff is friendly and the membership is affordable and close to home, which is why we go there!
