WESTCA GYM

Have been a member for about a year. Very friendly staff and members, and in the heart of DTSJ. I mostly keep to myself but I really like the crowd.You get to see what good looks like. It keeps you humble and motivated.

Staff is super supportive, inclusive and approachable.Folks of all shapes, sizes and stages of fitness are seen & supported.Plenty of equipment for all sorts of routines (weightlifting, stretching, functional and cardio)They have phone charging station which is a good addition.

Superbly clean, really good equipment for bodybuilding. Torrie knows his stuff and got buffalo bars, safety squat bars and even a tibialis machine. He really put together a great gym with exceptional lighting as well, made me look better than my normal LA fitness mirrors. Keep up the good work.

Love the gym. It’s always clean has all the equipment you need.You can really sense the community the owners have built. It’s a motivating atmosphere and something everyone should strive for.2 suggestions tho would be1) maybe open at 5 in the mornings instead of 530? My partner would love to workout here because of the proximity to our home but the 30 min is a deal breaker since it cuts into the commute. I’m sure there’s a reason for this2) add more clocks on the weight lifting floor. There is one small analog clock high on the wall, you really have to squint to see the hands on the clock. It’d be convenient to add more clocks or better yet bigger analog clocks with the seconds so people can time their rest breaks for HIIT/Tabata workoutsKeep up the great work!

Great gym, friendly people here but predatory cancellation system for gym membership that eventually lead to exploitation of the member.You always hear about gyms making it VERY hard to cancel the memberships to make extra money and I didn’t really believe that until my experience with WestCA. Before I dive any deeper here is the backstory:Was looking to cancel gym membership for westca since I no longer go, it was an annual membership so it was $500. My membership was set to auto renew December 17th.Mid November I call them and let them know I want to cancel the membership and the staff member let’s me know that he put a note in the system and that their process is to have only the manger to be able to cancel memberships. So he advises that he messages the manager and tells her to leave a note to email confirming that the membership has been cancelled. He did give me a heads up that the manager was “busy”.After 3 weeks with no email with cancel confirmation, I call again this time in early December. The staff confirms that he sees I called earlier and again let’s me know that the manager is busy and he will again shoot her a message to cancel it. I let him know that’s fine she is busy and my main concern is I don’t get charged. He says I won’t get charged and says again that he left a note for the manager to reach out to me when cancelled.About a week passes and still nothing from westca, so this time I decide to follow up in person since the 17th is only a few days away. This time I stop into westca and ask to cancel. I’m told the same thing I’ve been hearing again: yea we see that you requested this in the past, manager is busy and she is only one who can do it, you won’t be charged, we sent ANOTHER message to the manager to cancel and we’ll send an email once cancel is confirmed.Now come to the present day 12/18/22 still nothing from them confirming a cancellation. I get an email from westca about the annual membership subscription auto renewal. Thank god the credit card that I signed up with is no longer valid so the auto renew cancelled.I guess my point in writing all of this is to say their membership cancellation process is absolutely ludicrous. So please heed my warning when considering this gym.I’m not sure how much more proactive I could have been - reaching out 3 times prior to auto renew date and doing so more than a month in advance. I get the manager may be “busy” but with other subscriptions such as Netflix this process takes 30 seconds, what’s the hold up here?!I’m grateful that the auto renew didn’t go thru due to an expired credit card because if it did then I would have to continue this process of trying to remedy the situation with someone who clearly is not showing any effort. Would have went to the better business bureau with my complaints but since the payment failed to process (thank god) , I figured a review woth my experience would help others be aware.PLEASE NOTE THESE SHADY BUSINESS PRACTICES BEFORE SIGNING UP AT THIS GYM.

Westca is my favorite gym in san jose. I don’t think I could ever switch to any other. I love the environment and energy of the staff and members. When you come in you’re always welcomed by amazing staff. Especially when Maegs is at the front you already know your day is going to be extra better.

Such a welcoming gym! I just started my semi-personal training and I was raised to hug people and my trainer welcomes me with hugs! Haha gym is always clean and everyone is actually really friendly and nice. We all have goals and only intimidation part, is yourself. It's comfortable environment, easy to navigate and ask for help. I am very happy I chose Westca as my home gym!

This a review dedicated to Maegs (trainer)!! For context I'm a total newbie when it comes to the gym. Never formally worked out in a gym setting or worked with a trainer. I found the gym setting really intimidating and had a huge mentalblock to committing to exercising regularly.Maegs has made me feel really comfortable at the gym and given me the knowledge to continue exercising solo once my program with her is over. She is super welcoming and personable. She balances pushing me to the next level and also respecting my comfort level.I definitely feel like I am achieving my goal of creating an enjoyable, healthy, and sustainable relationship with the gym. I was nervous a trainer would push or try to enforce cosmetic/aesthetic goals over my kind of my mental goals with the gym. But I can confidently say Maegs will support you in whatever you come to the gym to achieve.

I have been going to Westca for about four years now and I can honestly say it has transformed my view of fitness. The environment and people at Westca are unlike any other. It is a community where you will find encouragement, education and motivation thanks to the owners Meaghan and Tory. People of all fitness levels are welcome and everyone is just so friendly. I never did much weight lifting but after doing group training with Meaghan and Paulina, who are exceptional, I feel comfortable with pushing myself. I really could go on and on about how much I love this gym. I highly recommend it!

By far the best gym in San Jose. Great variety of equipment and always in working order. If something is non functional they are quick to get it fixed. Tory and Meaghan (owners) have a great team of well educated staff and resources. I signed up for personal training for a period of time to get a head start on some fitness goals. The workouts were tailored to me specifically and I was taught why certain exercises were beneficial for me. Wrapping it up the biggest take away is the environment that's been created. It can be hard for those going to a new gym to make friends or have conversations. It's quite the opposite here. The environment and people are warm, friendly and inviting no matter what level of fitness one may be at. Whether you're looking to get a couple workouts in a week, receive training or bodybuild this gym is for everyone.
