The Studio Powered by Persistence Culture

I joined The Studio in August after being at a few different places (regular gym, CrossFit, CrossFit hybrid). I was looking for a place that was inclusive of all ages, ability levels and most importantly a place that allows and welcomes modifications to workouts. The Studio has allowed me to not only work on my physical health but my emotional as well. I get a good workout in and leave feeling better about myself. I feel zero body shaming when I go in and as long as you keep moving things are good … there is no shame if you need to modify something and there is no listing your name on a board if you do not finish a workout (like I experienced previously).

The best gym ever! Trainers are knowledgeable and every time I go, it's different work out so you won't get bored. People are encouraging each other. Super friendly and welcoming environment. They offer online members to access variety of video exercises too!The gym focuses on group exercises (separate personal training is available), and there are many intense menus such as HIIT, but the trainers will change the menu to suit your individual level. The content is different every time, so you won't get bored, and the trainer will explain things to you, so even beginners can do it. This gym has a homely atmosphere.

The Studio is an awesome outfit. They provide an inclusive environment where all are welcome. The folks here create challenging and progressive programming, with coaching in small group settings. High quality equipment, and friendly professional staff! This place is a Ventura gem!

The Studio has been amazing during Covid and adopted many safe ways of continuing to teach, train and offer classes. I am able to feel connected even from a distance. This is a great place for anyone to overcome gym anxiety or workout anxiety. I highly recommend taking personal training as well. This place is all about doing it right and learning the correct techniques.

I drive from two towns away to attend classes at The Studio ... the town I live in has plenty of gyms, but I tried them all, and nothing compares. My favorite part is that the emphasis isn’t on aesthetics, it’s on getting stronger so you can be better at the things you love to do (surfing, rock climbing, swimming, running after your kiddos at the park, etc.) outside of the gym. Run—don’t walk—to your first free class.

I hesitate to call The Studio a gym because it's much more than that. Apart from getting a great workout, classes are designed with a methodology to build from previous day/week classes. The Studio is pre-hab, rehab and phenomenal conditioning wrapped in one. The instructors have a deep understanding of body mechanics, are kind, professional and have a sincere dedication for the improvement of their clients' overall health and well-being.

I’ve been a member of the Studio for 3 years. Joining the Studio family is the best decision I’ve made. Helya has created not only a positive workout space but truly a space that is inviting for all levels. The trainers are knowledgeable and are always willing to help. I’m so thankful for each one of them and will always consider them my gym family.

I have been working out at The Studio for a year and I absolutely love it. It's more than just a gym. All the trainers are super supportive of everyone's fitness journey. The Studio has challenges throughout the year to push everyone to improve their nutrition, fitness, etc. I have especially been impressed with how Helya and the team have been able to pivot this year with the Covid restrictions so that we can all continue to exercise safely.

The Studio ha been a game changer for my fitness! This gym is the whole package; awesome coaching, focus on strength and cardio but also mobility, mental wellbeing and nutrition which really helps address whatever you are looking for in terms of a wellness/fitness journey. I was really in an exercise funk before I tried the Studio last Winter and I have been hooked ever since. The variety makes it so workouts are always challenging and you never get bored of the same activity. There is constant feedback, support and encouragement from all the various coaches creating a positive, fun and motivating environment.

I have been a member of The Studio for almost 6 years. The Studio is so much more than a gym, it is a community of people who are supportive and loving and who push each other the be the best.The trainers are beyond amazing. They will keep an eye on you to ensure that you have the proper form to prevent injury and they will push you to do just a little more to get the best out of your workout. They learn who everyone is, so after just a class or two you will be known by your name which is always a great feeling.The biggest thing right now is how The Studio has reacted through the pandemic. The Studio has pivoted gracefully into doing everything possible to keep the members and the trainers safe. They are currently open for in-person classes at a very limited capacity, so sign-up in advance! But they also offer a ton of amazing home workouts via zoom or recorded videos that can be done at any time. All of the trainers are still available for questions and you can still do personal training either in person or via zoom.The owner of The Studio, Helya, is the most amazing person. She has so much knowledge in fitness and nutrition and she works with her members in any capacity they need to get healthy. It isn’t a focus on “weight loss” because there is so much more to being healthy than just the number on the scale. She wants us to make lifestyle changes, not do crash diets and extreme workouts that can ultimately do more harm than good. Helya has a heart of gold and is truly the best.Please check out The Studio if you are looking for a gym that will change your life for the best!
