Rocky is an absolutely amazing Physical Trainer. He does so much more than simply treating the symptoms of an injury. He digs in to find the imbalances and the structural issues of your body that led to the injury. He creates a real, long term cure. I came into see Rocky for an ankle injury, Peroneal Tendonitis. Rocky identified multiple imbalances and areas of limited flexibility that were the cause for the added stress on the Peroneal Tendon. He gave me a series of exercises that he thoroughly explained and had me perform. By the end of our session I already felt relief. I limped in and walked out free and easy, so much better. Rocky sent me home with the tools I needed to continue getting better. Before I left, he video recorded me performing the exercises while he was throughly explaining how to properly perform them. I highly recommend Rocky and his team for your long term health and fitness.

“Don - where have you been?” I had been training at Rocky’s Fitness for about 6 months. When I was sidelined with a heel injury (from pickleball) and didn’t show up for 2 weeks, Dana reached out to see where I was. When I told her what was going on, she said “we can help you with that. I have an opening at 10am tomorrow, can you make it?”
When I went in, Rocky spent time with me, examined my foot, and gave me specific exercises to recover quickly. He’s super knowledgeable and really cares.
Great workouts, great trainers, fun people and a super friendly atmosphere. I highly recommend it!

I started training here a month ago and I'm really feeling the improvement in my overall fitness. The staff is great, very knowledgeable, attentive, and encouraging. They're not just some muscle heads throwing tires around, they really know what they are doing.

I broke my shoulder in a skiing accident and was a wreck for a year. Continued going to Rocky’s and struggled. Then I met with Rocky in a one on one. It took another month or so, but now I’m better than EVER!!! Can’t say enough about Rocky and his trainers. Everyone is so personable and caring, too!!!

Becoming a part of RFC has proven to be the best choice for both my well-being and fitness journey. It transformed my approach from sporadic gym visits and uncertainty about workouts to establishing a health-focused lifestyle, pushing me to achieve new milestones every month. The supportive trainers and motivating community make every morning workout something I really look forward to. Thanks RFC!

I’ve been going to Rocky’s for over 10 years and love the mobility and strength that it has added to my life. I run every day and the strength training keeps me strong and loving it every day. I recently was injured on a bike ride and was able to do some personal training for the first time. The attention to my injury and results have been amazing. Can’t say enough about what Rocky’s adds to my life. So thankful!!!! Not to mention all of the amazing people I get to work out with every day!

Rocky is in my mind is one of the best trainers I’ve had and that’s why I’ve been with him for about 20years or more! The gym is very well kept and all the other trainers are very friendly and welcoming.A few years ago Rocky got me into the best shape of my life!!!!

Ok - I can tell you, I have never left RFC in regret. It's always worth it. After foot surgery, they made sure I was building strength and balance. I'm working out better than ever and feeling confident when I engage in other activities. I love the small studio community environment with personal attention and options. Five stars!

I started at Rockys ( a family run business) about 13 years again because of a knee injury. I could have had surgery, but opted for the rehab route with Rocky, and was back to normal and on the tennis court within 2 months!
I still go to classes ( small, personal and lots of fun ) and have one to one sessions with Rocky when needed. Just recently I put my back out and was in slot of pain, and also had a frozen shoulder. Within a single session Rocky has unhinged my shoulder , and gave me a series of exercises a could do at home.
Rockys methods incorporate your total body, and it’s functional movements. He has an amazing intuitive sense that helps him evaluate your physical issues. He’s truly my fitness guru!
The scheduled classes allow for athletic training, weight training and circuit workouts. The trainers are all well qualified, and fun, and can adjust the exercises to suit your needs. It sometimes takes effort to make myself get to class, but I’m always smiling when I leave, and I’ve met some great people there .
They treat you like a family member!

A great personalized gym experience. They are able to address the needs of my autoimmune disease and keep me gaining strength, improving balance and overall fitness. If I ever have injuries Rocky and their trainers have an in depth understanding of the body and functional movement so I can recover quickly and get back on track. Definitely the only gym I would recommend.

Rocky’s ROCKS!
I stayed in Santa Cruz for couple of months and decided to join Rocky’s fitness center to get back into shape before my next big travel. The goal was become stronger, and sure enough these guys got me there. The classes were so much fun and perfectly hard ! Gym is perfect size and a lot of the time we were outside on the mats. There are so many interesting exercises i never done before and every question i had about my balance, muscles and body was answered! Proper local spot with devoted warm people. Also, such a friendly group of locals are there to work hard with you and cheer you on! thank you Carrli and Rocky see you next fall!!

The ultimate game changer for my body! With everything that comes with aging, lots of screen time, and fluctuating weight gain, I wanted to regain the agility and flexibility of what was likely 15-20 years ago. Rocky is the motion maestro and could immediately see what was holding me back...fast forward to two months of doing body-weight oriented exercises and stretching routines and I feel like a whole new person. I can't wait to stretch everyday, it's actually a chance to relax and "meditate" in a way. The last time I was in person with Rocky, his stretches he walked me through literally made me feel like I was 10 years younger as I was walking like a pre-screen-based version of myself. Now I can't wait to do my stretching routine every chance I get...it's like I'm accessing a drinking fountain of youth. Go see Rocky, that's all I have to say! Just look him up anywhere online and you'll immediately see his knowledge and experience, and that's what you'll get!

Rocky and his team (especially Quinn) are so positive, energetic, knowledgeable... it's just a pleasure to be around and the workouts breeze by. Don't get me wrong - I'm always super sore later! Place is clean and in a great location, and the equipment is well maintained. Highly recommend!

I've worked out religiously for decades doing both strength and cardio training. I never considered group exercise a good alternative for a number of reasons. My first week at Rocky's made me feel like I had been sitting on a couch my whole life. I'm now a total believer in Rocky's methodology and the effectiveness of group exercise. Not only is my strength, flexibility and endurance at an all time high, I could not have a achieved the same level on my own or with my old, outdated methods.
This isn't the typical "boot camp" or cross fit style, yet I'm pushed to higher and higher levels. For me, one of the differentiators is the creativity, variety, and methodology of how I'm pushed to high levels of exertion. It's not merely by increasing reps, time, or weight. 1000's aren't my thing.
It's other things like invoking more muscles in a single exercise so I'm almost taken by surprise when I'm suddenly gasping for air, rather then bracing for a huge mountain to climb in the beginning of an exercise and having to mentally will myself to get to that same level of exertion. It's variety so I don't have to think "not again". We're off to the next exercise before we can think about how the last one just killed us.
It's about proper warm-up and flexibility so my body responds better to where I'm taken. It's also about doing different exercises in quick succession so mentally I'm climbing lots of small mountains thru the workout . . . and more than I can explain, but Rocky's the expert so I leave it to him.
He's been a student of fitness for a long time so not only is his knowledge incredible, but he's always changing and evolving with new information and the humility of knowing that what he's doing know is likely to outdated down the road.
Although it's very clear Rocky and his trainers are a perfect fit for competitive athletes, I'm just trying to age gracefully and stay active. I have no bucket list of over achievements I'm striving for to prove anything to myself or others my age or younger. I fight a whole range of back, neck and shoulder issues, so it's about not being crippled up by them or in constant pain and has been that way for quite awhile. The short term results have been great, but I'm in it for the long haul and Rocky's is a great fit for both.
Lastly, I've seen Rocky expand his staff and he does a great job of picking and training them to be excellent "disciples" so there's a consistency no matter what class you attend.
