Pismo Beach Athletic Club

"This is a really great gym. The amenities are nice, the staff is great, and there’s no better place for me to get my swim on. But the hours are why I give this place two stars. Monday-Friday is fine, but due to working weekends, I miss out entirely on getting my nightly workout in and the stress relief from using the sauna . I feel like the majority of my fellow gym goers would agree with me in saying this would be a 5 star gym if the weekend hours were the same as the weekday hours."

"Great staff! Persie showed me around and made me feel like family on day 1!"

"I visited Pismo Beach for a few days and took advantage of Kon Tikki Inn’s partnership with PBAC. As a hotel guest, I had access to PBAC’s amenities and group classes. I took the following classes and loved every one of them: -Zumba with Lauren -High Low Fitness with Linda & Sarema -Aqua Aerobics with Kari Just know that you have to reserve your spot for a class on the MindBody app. You can do that up to 4 days in advance so set your reminders! Not to mention, everyone in PBAC is so friendly : the staff, members, and teachers. I appreciate that the teachers noticed that I was a newcomer and they warmly welcomed me."

"I have been attending this gym for quite a while perhaps 4 years and today I decided to post a review of my overall daily experiences. The staff has always been nice, each and everyone of you guys is doing a phenomenal job keep it up. The gym is wonderful and all but it lacks on plenty of things. After it closed and I came back there is no more complementary bags after showers and such, the fan in the locker room is gone which creates a very humid uncomfortable environment. The remodel in the pool/jacuzzi area is great work. Equipments are still the same after the come back, sadly same old equipments unlike the competitive gyms around the area. In the locker room/showering area there is no lotion, after shave cream, Q-tips, blow dryers etc. Lots of senior citizens, rare to find young people. Limited parking spots. The gym closes super early and they don’t open Sundays which makes it inconvenient sometimes."

"I highly recommend PBAC. I call it the Pismo Beach Friendly Club. The front desk staff are sweet and welcoming and they love to say Yes! I mainly swim but I also do yoga there. People in the pool have always been so gracious offering to share a lane [pre-covid] or acknowledging you if you're waiting. In the locker room people greet each other nicely too. I like the yoga class and I love swimming where I'm not feeling a cold wind outside of the water."
