Kennedy Club Fitness

Negative experience: The shower room is horrible …the curtains on shower stalls are old and narrow ! Shameful ! The steam room stinks of mold and mushrooms , yuck!

Fantastic experience: Super welcoming and friendly gym for new members. Positive instructors and community!

Negative experience: This gym was great over the last 8-9 months, but then a local gym closed and now Kennedy is flooded with the refugees. I guess they gave them all a free month or something. Last two weeks I’ve gone, literally every single machine and weight station was occupied—every time. Used to be a great place to get a workout in previously, as it had just the right amount of activity. Didn’t have to wait or change your workout due to it being overcrowded. Completely ridiculous now. If it doesn’t get handled, I’m cancelling my membership. I haven’t even been able to workout when I go now because of how absurdly packed it is.

Negative experience: Not a good number of weight lifting spots. A smith machine should not count toward your rack capacity- the two get taken over by people doing cellphone curls and patiently waiting patrons. So many nearly new machines (because it’s obvious they don’t get used- some are just wild)- I’m mad this place took over Fitness 19. Two racks and a deadlift platform was way better than this place.

Negative experience: Called to inquire about membership pricing and a free day pass so I could check it out. The employee who answered—who was very nice—informed me that there are no free passes for prospective clients… But I *could* Pay either $20 or $25 for one visit, and if I decided to join they would credit it to my membership. I was so stunned I asked again if that was really the policy and the employee reiterated “no free passes.” I saw somewhere in the reviews that Kennedy does offer free day passes. So either that’s not true, or employees aren’t being trained to understand policy. Either way this feels like a management issue. Heading over to Fitness 19, where a free pass is available on their website and membership is literally half the price.

Fantastic experience: Nice facilities

Negative experience: Called ready to try the gym out and sign up for a membership. Asked for a guest pass to make sure I like the equipment and setup. "Sorry we don't do that." Sorry I will go somewhere else!

Fantastic experience: Great cycle, dance and yoga classes! And the pool is awesome!

Fantastic experience: Great gym good equipment. The only thing lacking is a heavy bag for punching and kicking.

Negative experience: Thanks to the employee who not only wasted my time, but the time of everyone who showed up to the gym at 8am to workout. It was 820am when I took this pic, and I’m writing this review while no employee has still showed up to open the gym. Nothing irritates me more in this world than people who waste my time. If you can’t hire people to show up on time to work, then the owner or manager needs to take charge. I’ve already seen several people leave, this is ridiculous and a waste of everyone’s time. All 20 of us that are outside waiting! Unprofessional for a gym that’s supposed to be a premium gym in the area! *PS it was 830am when I left, and still no one had showed up*

Fantastic experience: Worth the price to avoid being part of the crowd

Fantastic experience: Yhe best fitness facility in SLO County

Fantastic experience: Fantastic, Angel I’d amazing very polite and helpful

Fantastic experience: Very clean, and a huge variety of equipment for weight lifting.

Positive experience: Why is the steam room still non operational for over a month now in AG? Main reason the we joined this gym .

Positive experience: Bathrooms are filthy. Same hair & grime in the same place day after day. Pretty gross.

Fantastic experience: Kennedy is amazing, great people, not too crowded. Has a steam room, pool, jacuzzi and plenty of classes. I especially like the space, at times the steam/sauna fails but quickly fixed.

Positive experience: Decent gym. Probably the most equipment and largest space in south county. Desperately needs some updating, new equipment, refurbish the floors and the locker rooms. Overpriced, but no real competition, so they get away with high membership fees.

Positive experience: Overpriced for what you get. Equipment is a bit older just like the clientele.

Negative experience: Please do not spend your money here there are plenty of other gyms bigger and for way less. The arroyo grande location is definitely not worth the visit.

Positive experience: I was an out of towner drop-in. I was just doing water aerobics and it was $20 which is pretty steep. It's a tiny pool outside. The class was good and the ladies were awesome. I liked the pool being outside. For the cost, you'd think they would have better equipment, but even the regular ladies talked about the bad shape the items were in.

Fantastic experience: Great,as always.

Fantastic experience: A great place to work out. They have everything you need in a fitness center. Great location.

Fantastic experience: Es un gimnasio muy grande y tiene todo hasta alberca toda clase de máquinas lo recomiendo me encanta.

Fantastic experience: Great place great people

Fantastic experience: I joined to use the pool. I'm hoping it's not too booked up. Only three lanes at this location.

Fantastic experience: Awesome health club, very open floorplan so you can socially distance and still get a good workout

Negative experience: I have worked out in Gyms in Carmel, Monterey , Maui , Santa Barbara without a doubt, ARROYA GRANDE was the rudest experience I have ever encountered . M. PAZELL the manager, needs to be replaced with someone who is not a shovenist to WOMEN. He has no Communication skills. Tennis Instructor ? If you pay $10,000 You get a Swim Lane !! THE Hot tub never worked, the the pool needs better MAINTENCE, the asphalt around pool , a mess. The women's showers no matting.. It really Caters to the guys when it comes to POOL PO ITICS.. Rating 1, they have decent equipment upstairs. If your female do not join here !!! The fake comments that are here, are a put in by there employees!! Or someone they paid $$ THE ONLY Nice Members were where the Women Aerobics! Go some where else , this is not a Club !! It's a Bad JOKE !

Positive experience: Nice staff. They put forth a strong effort and that's probably why they're No. 1 in the region.

Fantastic experience: As a contractor working here i am amazed at how well this place is ran. Mark greets everyone that comes in the door. The staff is professional and has great knowledge of all workout areas. The facility is super clean. Most importantly it has a wonderful vibe.

Fantastic experience: Best gym in town! Really the only place you can go and have EVERY option: pool, tons of classes, multiple locations, weights, cardio equipment. I’ve always been happy coming here. I see people on here moaning about the cost and I just don’t get it. Single studios charge as much and you don’t get a quarter of what you get at Kennedy plus they are ALWAYS doing stuff for the community. Rather give them my buck than some random chain.

Fantastic experience: Excellent equipment and professional staff! Great views out all the windows while working out!I love this gym!

Fantastic experience: I work all over Slo County, and I'm always close to a Kennedy. It's very convenient.

Fantastic experience: Wonderful place with the best people! We're all like family!

Fantastic experience: Positive: Professionalism , Quality

Fantastic experience: Positive: Communication , Professionalism , Quality

Fantastic experience: The SLO gym is unimaginably plush. I could go there and just spend all day. Check it out.

Fantastic experience: I joined a few months ago. $.37 initiation fee. Staff are friendly, lots of equipment options, free body scan and personal training session, four club options, members mind their own business. Couldn't ask for more. Hubby and I go four to six days a week. We look and feel much better.

Fantastic experience: Great gym with steam rooms

Fantastic experience: Been going here for several months now. Nice clean facilities, friendly staff. They have brought in a few new pieces of equipment in that time keeping things up to date and they offer a Veterans discount.

Fantastic experience: Great members, great staff

Positive experience: Ok not in my budget 2 or 3 hundred dollars for a membership

Positive experience: Old equipment and facility. Hot upstairs too.

Positive experience: nice people, clean, modern equipment

Positive experience: Friendly staff and good environment

Positive experience: Just like every other gym. Nothing sets them apart from others. I absolutely love my trainer Cassie. Pricing is high!!!. Dont offer existing customers discounts or promotions. Very clean though.

Fantastic experience: Best gym in 5 Cities. Clean, lots of equipment, lots of excellent classes. Never over-crowded.

Fantastic experience: Kennedy Club Fitness is just a real nice facility to work out in

Fantastic experience: best gym. it has it all.

Fantastic experience: SUPER cool and encouraging, helpful staff. I credit this place for the majority of my recovery after my mortorcycle accident. Came in in a wheelchair 2 years ago and now im back surfing again. Thanks guys!

Fantastic experience: Great gym with nice staff and clean facilities. I have been a member for 10+ years and love it.

Positive experience: Too crowded but lots of options

Positive experience: Group classes are just okay

Positive experience: I enjoy going here. Friendly staff and plenty of room. I would recommend it to a friend

Negative experience: The franchise owner does not believe in powerlifting and bodybuilding in his 50+ year expertise. He does not listen to customers and talks about you behind your back. I was booted for deadlifting 6x6 @285lbs and slamming weights. It was not on purpose of the course and I tried to reason with the guy and educate him in the most recent findings with lifting heavy (I did navy medicine for eight years and well versed in 4 different subjects to include exercise science). He called me disrespectful and not once did I cuss at the guy until he started to over and over again. He threatened the cops on me and told me, my wife, and sister to leave. He didn't even listen to my wife when all she was trying to say was that have a TBI and he is really talking to me the wrong way. He didn't care if I was an oef vet or about my wife being a veteran. Seriously the gym is small and lacks some equipment. The front desk staff is nice and so is daycare. The gym is worth as much as a YMCA gym.

Negative experience: This is like Amway for Fitness. They seem to be more concerned with your promotions, than they are with anyone's Fitness or comfort. The jacuzzi and steam room are constantly out of order. They did replace all the televisions in the fitness room though. There are some really nice staff members, but in general this gym sucks.

Fantastic experience: Es el mas moderno

Fantastic experience: Friendly Coaches

Fantastic experience: Small, but start is very friendly and they have all the equipment you need.

Fantastic experience: The staff is very friendly and the trainers are very helpful lots of classes

Fantastic experience: This is by far my favorite Kennedy club or all their locations. The people here - staff and members - are all so nice! Club is clean, equipment is well maintained and teachers are great in the group exercise classes. Highly recommended.

Fantastic experience: Great all around fitness center. Nice machines (cardio and weights). Great selection of free weights... Staff is very nice and helpful. Locker room it's nice too... It's all good!

Positive experience: High monthly price. Never as clean as it could be especially the bathrooms.

Positive experience: Nice people at counter, a class I like

Positive experience: Great staff. Great equipment. Can be a little overcrowded sometimes.

Negative experience: Terrible management and deceptive membership billing practices. Stay away

Negative experience: The arroyo grande Kennedy is terrible . Old equipment, management so out of touch and terrible customer service. Cleaning not a top priority.

Fantastic experience: Constantly clean machines coupled with good classes and a good community makes KCF-AG well worth the cost. The sauna is amazing, clean locker rooms, it's an overall great fitness center.

Negative experience: This place has gone down hill. They are behind on maintenance. Many of the dumbbells are so worn out you can't tell what weight they are, and the place just kind of has a gross feel to it. I was a member for a year, and the refrigeration unit for the water never worked on either of the upstairs drinking fountains. Also, they charge you for an extra month of membership when you cancel it. There has to be a better option.

Positive experience: Typical gym in the san luis obisp area. Probably wouldnt be able to compete if 24 hour every came into town, but it did the job for me when I lived in the area. Some of the employees are awesome but others were kind of rude. The good things about these clubs is that they are pretty fancy. good sets of weights. nice pools. good clean locker rooms and towels.
