Ive got nothing but praise for this fitness program. When I started with a personal trainer at Athlon, I was 63 years old and about 70 pounds heavier than I should have been. I had practiced law for 33 years and was not exercising very much. I could not do a single pushup in a horizontal position and was prone to back problems.My trainer developed a personalized exercise and food program that worked extremely well for me and I have been working out 3 times a week ever since (about 3 and a half years, so far). I lost 64 pounds in 16 months and went a little lower before gradually regaining some of the weight (probably some of the gain was muscle, because I have improved strength in all areas). This has been a life-saver for me and I see many others who are making similar progress. They have a wide range of ages, both male and female, and a wide fitness range, including some competitive athletes at one extreme and people who started like I did at the other extreme. The trainers are great at modifying exercises to fit the capabilities of each trainee. The trainers are both male and female and all are kind, considerate, supportive, and (most importantly) knowledgeable, with degrees in kinesiology or nutrition. I highly recommend Athlon for anyone seeking to make a serious improvements in their well-being.

Athlon has everything youd need for whatever your workout routine is and what your workout goals are. The flexibility of the facility is such as great selling point. They have your standard cardio machines, but also a free weight area with two complete sets of dumbells, up to 100 lbs. Theres also three squat racks that double as bench press stations. Additionally, theres four deadlift/olympic lift platforms, as well as large open areas for bootcamp style workouts. Even during the busy times at lunch or after work, Ive never once havent been able to get an open squat rack or deadlift platform. As other reviewers have mentioned, the staff are super friendly and helpful, and the other gym goers are all friendly, courteous, and have good gym etiquette (they put their weights away)! Highly recommended!

For the first time in many years, I am feeling like a true athlete again. Even though I have been playing goalkeeper in a recreational soccer league for a few years, my 42 year old body always felt like it had gone through the wringer after each game, and it took me days to recover. After just 5 weeks of training at Athlon, I notice a huge difference in my ability in the goal. I get off my line faster, I can kick/punt further, I can recover from saves faster, and Im not left completely winded after a bout of activity. At each session I learn something new about my bodys limits - range of motion, strength, power, agility, visual training - all exercises are explained to me as to how each will enhance my abilities, and it makes my workouts a fun challenge. I cant recommend Athlon enough! :)

After trying various 24 hour box franchise gyms, I found Athlon in 2014 and never looked back. I went with their monthly gym pass that allows you to use the facilities at your own pace but they also offer classes and 1 on 1 sessions. The really do an excellent job with providing a sample of all equipment to achieve a full body workout. Their entire staff is very knowledgeable and are ready and willing to help you with any questions you have. Their has been countless times where they have helped me critique my form on lifts to help me progress towards my goals. The camaraderie between the gym goers themselves is strong and very beneficial. This is the strongest and healthiest I have been in my life and I can definitely attribute that to being a member at Athlon.

I have been going to Athlon for about 2 years now and love it. The trainers are all so helpful and truly care about helping you reach your fitness goals. When I first started at Athlon, I stuck to just using the machines. Eventually, I started to plateau and wasn’t seeing much in the way of the fitness improvements I was hoping to get. I decided to join the Elite Fitness group and have never seen my body transform faster than I did with this training program. Not only is the staff excellent, knowledgeable and fun, and 100% DEDICATED to helping you get the results you want, the clientele are all great as well. Everyone is so friendly and encouraging of each other. It really is a great facility all around.

Athlon, in my opinion, is the ideal gym for people of all different fitness levels. As a professional athlete I can honestly say Athlon and its coaches have provided me with the best environment I have ever worked out in. I entrusted them with my career and have reaped the rewards. I have never been as strong or moved as well as I am now thanks to the coaches at Athlon. My balance, vision and overall coordination have improved by leaps and bounds as well. The knowledge I have gained about how my body works and how to properly take care of it is invaluable. From Ryan, to Cory, to Angela, to Jasmine and Andy, every coach that I have worked with has gone above and beyond to help me reach my goals.

Came in after flying a red eye and driving from L.A. In rain and fog. Actually came from Kauai to specifically work with the owner Ryan Joiner since I have had chronic hip and knee problems and my nervous system a bit shot from trauma and stress. He has worked with me for over 20 years and knows functional fitness. He gave me a through consultation of my physical issues, took me through a few eye and coordination exercises, and before I knew it I was able to figure out my front squats and clings without issue. Amazing facility and wonderful staff too!

Athlon was great to me during my workouts there. The staff are very friendly and professional. There are several pieces of accessible equipment which made it easier for me to improve my strength and cardiovascular fitness. My personal trainers, Ashley Fittz and Angela Martin, were very helpful, easygoing, and dedicated to developing an effective, customized workout program for me. I enjoyed working out with them and continue to benefit from the customized home workout programs they created for me.

Ive been a member at Athlon for over year now and its hands down the best gym Ive ever held a membership at! It has all the equipment I was looking for without all the extra "fluff" you get a bigger fitness clubs. While I havent taken any of their group training/personal training sessions, from what Ive seen the trainers at Athlon are extremely knowledgeable & passionate about helping folks reach their fitness goals. Id totally recommend this place if youre looking for a great gym in SLO.

Spent five days in Park City, Utah skiing. I want to send out a big thank you to Cory, Andy, Angela, and Abby for getting me into shape. Everyone else on this ski trip had aches and pains in their thighs and calves, and I had no pain at all. So obviously all the squats and conditioning I received over these last 4 months paid off. I encourage anyone who skis or wants to get their body back into shape to join Athlon. You will feel better about yourself. Everyone is very positive!!
