This place is AWESOME!! I never thought I’d be the guy who goes to the gym, but The Base converted me. Everyone is super friendly, there’s no ego, and my trainer makes the workouts fun + productive

This is my favorite gym I’ve ever been to, and I’ve traveled A TON. The space is super open and they have everything you could need including the best rowing machines on the market, skiers, versa climber and a stair master (and of course tons of racks and weights). The base even has an outdoor space and turf which is great for Santa Barbara. Highly recommend this gym

This gym is perfect if you are looking for professionals to help guide your workouts, or if you are an experienced gym goer who wants the flexibility and versatility of open floor plans and no-nonsense equipment. The owner is incredibly friendly and it is clear that the staff are there to help figure out what support would benefit you in the fitness department, without overselling or being too pushy. The trainers are professional and knowledgeable, and each has their own unique style. I especially love that they have a treatment room for bodywork and showers in each of the bathrooms in case you have somewhere to be afterwards!

I want to put a review up here for this business I come down here all the time to pick up my meal prep. I just have to say the place is just always very clean and quiet it’s never too crowded. There’s a wide variety of people exercising here from highly competitive athletes to older people just trying to stay in shape and age with grace. The staff is friendly but never pushy or annoying. I currently am a member of a gym with a pool, otherwise I would switch to this gym.

A very complete gym with great equipment and an awesome staff. Complete opposite of your standard-issue cheapo pump-up bro gym.The people here are serious about physical health and the trainers are excellent. Worth exploring a group or private personal trainer here. Our group has been training here together for three years and love it
