Fit Nor Cal - Arcata (CA)

5 /5 Richard Polillo: Grace Gibson is the personal trainer I go to at Fit NorCal. She designs diabolically grueling workouts that allows me to push to my limits each any every time I train. Last Dec I had surgery that left me on life support for a 7 days, was then discharged on day 9 with an incidental finding of B lymphoma. I could barley walk and started chemotherapy the next month, Jan of ‘17. By end of Feb treatments completed and left me with debilitating foot drop R side and I’d lost over 30 lbs. I started rehabbing my self immediately. I found Grace in mid May of ‘17 and have been steadily progressing ever since. To her credit and her evil gut wrenching workouts I’ve been able to return to the study of my beloved Aikido a intense form of martial art. Grace cudo’s to you, you are a great coach and your manical giggling,while you put me through tasks that Hercules could not perform, has ignited my recuperation I cannot thank you enough. Does this review give you any idea why it is a 5 star?

1 /5 TK Barronson: Incompetent staff and cheap equipment. This isnt a gym. Its just some basement. The staff are undertrained and/or inexperienced and are likely to get you hurt. Theres a reason this "gym" is cheaper. You get what you pay for.

5 /5 Denise Walker-Brown: The trainers at Fit Nor Cal are the best!! They keep me fit, have fun and always find a way to personalize a workout even in a group situation! Love this place!!

5 /5 Rey Barber: John Schmidt has been the most helpful person I’ve seen for my chronic headaches and nerve pain. He’s very knowledgeable and professional, and obviously cares deeply about helping his patients.

5 /5 David Narum: Pretty sure TK is reviewing a different gym. This is a state-of-the-art facility with knowledgeable and committed staff. Highly recommended.
