Fantastic experience: I've been going to California Fitness classes on and off for years, and the guy is truly passionate about what he does. If you're looking to boost your self-esteem, confidence, or reach your personal goals, Jesse and his team will do anything they can to help you achieve them. I mainly attend the classes, and Jesse and his team bring some amazing energy that will motivate you. The classes are challenging but fun. They are always pushing you to your limits. It's an amazing facility, and an amazing family to be a part of.

Fantastic experience: Joining the California Fitness family has been a fantastic decision. Having been an outdoor fitness person my whole life meant that joining a gym was a big change and a year on, having worked with Jesse via online pt (and working in the gym 3 x weekly) I realise how much of an asset Axminster has. From the knowledgeable and friendly team, the quality equipment and the supportive environment of those that attend, I find myself looking forward to every training session.

Fantastic experience: Cannot recommend more. Having never been to, or committed to a gym, I am very pleased I came here. California fitness is a local gym focused around supporting people with their different fitness goals. Most importantly (for me at least), the members of staff and gym users are very friendly and welcoming; they are always interested and happy to help with any questions you may have. The gym is also well equipped with ample and free parking. The option to have monthly memberships is useful for me as I am at uni a lot of the time so can come back during holidays. Come here if you want a very personal and helpful gym experience with a wide array of different fitness options.

Fantastic experience: I love California Fitness because the personal trainers are the best they do not shout at you just give you lots of encouragement so when your hour is up you come away feeling really good about yourself.Thank You California Fitness.

Claire Turner 4 years ago

Fantastic experience: Cali fitness is the most amazing place to workout. The classes are fantastic and they always mix them up a bit, so you will have no chance to get bored. The instructors Jesse and Aneesa are just the best. They are great at keeping you motivated, are easily approachable and very friendly with a huge amount of knowledge. Every person that joins is always made to feel very welcome and we all get on really well. Cali fitness also organise fun activities out of the gym such as Xmas party's, commando challenge and next month a large group of us are getting together to take part in a 5k inflatable challenge. They have also recently redone there timetable to give more people a better chance of getting to a class. I usually do between 5 and 6 classes a week including a pt session. So if your just sat at home thinking about maybe joining gym classes or having pt sessions contact cali fitness and come along you won't regret it. I have been with them for around 3 years now and I still really enjoy it.

Fantastic experience: I have tried every type of fitness class, diet program and gym membership over the years and achieved very little compared to the results I am getting with California Fitness PT. Jesse tailors a program to fit with my lifestyle and so far I have lost over 15kg in just 15 weeks! The combination of knowledge and support with a great instinct for pushing me to my limits without giving me days of muscle pain through over-training has been spot on. I am fitter, leaner and stronger every week so I know this weight loss is sustainable and healthy. Jessie and Aneesa are passionate experts in their field and their gym is friendly and supportive to everyone regardless of where they are on their fitness journey. I highly recommend speaking with them if you want to improve your lifestyle for either fitness or weight loss.

Amy Ralph 5 years ago

Fantastic experience: I started over a year ago with just six sessions, but I haven’t been able to stop! I feel so much fitter, stronger, happier and healthier than I did. I’ve lost over 4 stone (about 23kg), and I have fitted it around family, holidays, daily life etc. Sessions with Jesse are varied, challenging & rewarding, and it’s great to have support 24/7 if you need it. I’d recommend California Fitness, whether you’re just starting out, or already super-fit. They can help anyone!

Jessica Amey 5 years ago

Fantastic experience: I have only great things to say about California Fitness, probably too many to fit in this review! Jesse and Aneesa have so much passion for what they do and are so motivating and encouraging. I had never stuck to any regular exercise before attending one of their boot camps last year, but one year on, I’m hooked and attend at least 6 of their classes a week. The classes are always different, the atmosphere is great and everyone is so friendly & welcoming. I’ve also had PT sessions which I loved. No matter what your fitness level or goals I would 100% recommend them.

Louise Barton 6 years ago

Fantastic experience: I enjoy doing boxercise once a week as it gets me fit and builds my confidence up. I'm making new friends through the group in Lyme Regis.

Claire Williams 6 years ago

Fantastic experience: Amazing classes, push you hard and motivate you to do your best. Aneesa and Jesse take their time to explain things you’re unsure of, nothings ever a silly question, and the PTs and the members are all very welcoming...and smiling come rain or shine!

Cris Cadby 7 years ago

Fantastic experience: I discovered California Fitness around three months ago. Like many people I had become bored at my gym and had been paying month on month and never going. My fitness levels had fallen as low as my enthusiasm. I was persuaded to give their Boxercise class a go and that was it I am hooked, I now do boot camp and two boxercise classes a week , Jesse and Aneesa are so passionate about what they offer with ridiculously high energy levels they make the classes fun and motivational and my fitness and mojo is back! So much so I now have a weekly PT session with Jesse. Really friendly classes and suitable for all abilities so give it a go.

Lydia Featherstone 7 years ago

Fantastic experience: Have been attending classes for nearly a year both Aneesa and Jesse are truly fantastic. They put a lot of time and energy into the classes and you come away every time feeling you have achieved a new level of fitness. The encouragement and support that you get from them is priceless and I can recommend them highly. If you are looking for something different then California Fitness is for you.

Jan Pulman 7 years ago
