UPDATE: I did get a response after posting this from the manager, Esteban. He was very kind and helped me get my issues resolved. He is an asset to the gym and very polite. It was nice to have a positive experience. Too bad zero stars isn’t an option. I don’t often leave online reviews, but I felt I had to. I cannot urge you enough, if I can’t dissuade you from joining, at least do NOT sign up for personal training at this gym. This is the most poorly run business I’ve ever encountered. I have been emailing, texting, calling, and leaving messages, not to mention begging, pleading, and slamming my head against the wall trying to get help from management and they absolutely will not respond. It’s terrible. My trainer left and there were only two others, neither of whom have the availability for the sessions per week I paid for. They basically gave me one day per week at an extremely inconvenient time and that’s too bad for me, that’s just what I get. I can take it or have none at all and just keep paying. They did not contact me when my trainer was leaving and offer to help, they waited until I contacted them and when I finally got someone, they said if we can’t find anyone to take over my 3 sessions per week, they would not charge me my final payment for sessions. We couldn’t find anyone but after 4 weeks of begging and pleading, time ran out and I got charged anyways. Another $250. It’s like they’re not replying on purpose to waste time and get another payment out of me. They’re selling more training sessions than they can provide. They’ve completely derailed my fitness progress with their poor management. I will say, the two trainers they do have at vista are both fantastic, which is why they’re both booked solid and can’t take any more clients. It is not their fault that the gym is run so poorly. Cedric and Mark are wonderful. Beyond that, I can’t recommend this place to anyone. It’s cheap for sure, but just pay more to go somewhere that the staff will actually provide service if you need it.

Older equipment, but has everything most people need for a low price. It's fascinating how so many people don't rerack weights and put other equipment (e.g. steps, mats, etc.) away when they are done. Reracking helps others know a machine or spot is open, and some people cannot lift heavier plates off machines without assistance. Bathrooms are frequently messy.

Nick was awesome to work with! He is very knowledge about nutrition and various muscle groups. If you want a personal trainer to help you reach your short and long term goals, Nick is the perfect guy for you! A positive minded individual that can have a great impact on others.

Overall, a good gym that is made great by the staff. Particularly Mark who brings helpful guidance and knowledge for you to use in your personal fitness endeavors while also providing an environment suited to personal growth. If you want someone to actually care about your fitness goals and guide you properly through challenging and rewarding workouts schedule yourself with Mark.
