4 /5 Anthony Elisarraras: Kennedy Club Fitness in Paso Robles has become my go-to gym, offering a well-rounded fitness experience with excellent amenities. The gym is relatively new and provides a solid variety of group exercise classes and an ever-expanding free weight training area, catering to both seasoned athletes and those just beginning their fitness journeys. One of my favorite features is the Olympic-size pool, which hosts water aerobics classes and is complemented by racquetball courts that I frequently enjoy. While I appreciate the gym’s range of offerings, I do feel it might be time for a few updates in certain areas to bring the experience up to its full potential.
My wife and I have both noticed some areas that could use a little extra attention. For instance, my wife often mentions that the women’s locker rooms don’t quite meet the accommodations we’ve seen at other gyms, like Planet Fitness. I agree that there’s room for improvement, particularly in the steam room where the floors have become uncomfortably soft and feel like they’re due for replacement. Additionally, I really miss the rock climbing wall, which added a unique, engaging element to our workout routine. I’d love to see it make a comeback, as it’s a feature that set Kennedy Club apart from other local gyms.
Overall, Im pleased with the gym and its offerings, but I believe a few thoughtful updates could make the experience even better, especially given the premium pricing that’s significantly higher than other gyms in Paso Robles. A couple of small changes could make a big difference—adding more 45-pound plates to the weight room, if needed, and a bathing suit spinner in the locker rooms would be much-appreciated upgrades for members who use the pool and steam room. Kennedy Club Fitness has a strong foundation; a few strategic improvements could truly elevate it to the next level.
