The club staff do not enforce county masking mandate- they ignore people walking around masKress and rarely have their front desk staffed. Management is unwilling to step up, because they are desperate for business over keeping people safe. Their solution to it is to offer members to freeze their membership (by paying more money) for up to 4 months if they don't like their lax attitude. Truly disappointing- especially if you buy a year membership. I would recommend buying a pass over a membership since they don't genuinely care about their members" safety and well being.

This place is probably the best gym in Morro, with a decent variety of equipment that some of the other gyms lack. Relative to some of the gyms in SLO, it's pretty reasonably priced, though I will get back to that. They regularly have deals and specials that reward people referring others. Their hours work for me, and though I can see how increasing them would be nice, I'm not sure if it would be busy enough to make sense. The staff has always been friendly, welcoming, and helpful.
However, if you're coming from a place that has more gym options, this place can feel kinda limiting

I wanted to support my local gym during the pandemic, so I continued with my monthly payments even though I didn't use the gym. I eventually set my account to freeze so I could maintain my current monthly rate when I came out of freeze. They were very accommodating.
However, I was all ready to return to the gym the other day. I walked out as soon as I walked in. They state on the door that masks are required, but literally every other person I walked by had theirs off or down around their chin!! And, the air was SO STUFFY. I really didn't have any confidence in the safety. I will wait

I got a week pass when I was visiting the area. It is decently equipped and had everything I needed. Friendly staff...I was slightly offended though when they asked me if I need them to show me how the equipment worked. ;-)

If you are in Morro bay Visiting and would like to get some gym time in FitnessWorks is the place to go. I was in town on vacation and decided to check this gym out. Great daily ($15) and weekly ($35) rates if you're in town on vacation. They have plenty of cardio machines and even have a crossfit area. I utilized both and got a great session in. Definitely will be going back when I'm in the area.
