AC4 Fitness

This gym is great! It is open 24 hrs which is hard to find in this town. Although it is a bit small, it has pretty much everything you need for a good workout. There’s cold filtered water and a shower if you need. The service is great and this is probably the cleanest gym you could possibly find! As an added bonus, every cardio machine has a TV (to distract you from how much you’re sweating!) This gym is not for people who like to make a lot of noise when they work out because it’s pretty quiet. Sometimes they play music but even then it’s fairly quiet.
I will say that because it’s not a very big gym, it can be crowded at peak hours, but what gym isnt? It just shows how much people enjoy this gym. Overall, they have everything you need.

Great customer service, easy access, very clean, and well kept. Love it here! I’ve tried every gym in town and this is definitely the best and you can’t beat the price!

This is a clean, well maintained gym. Prior to joining AC4 3 years ago, I was a member at a gym that provided more service than I needed. AC4 is a great match for those that simply want a mellow place to workout.

This is the best gym for your money in the area. No frills, but each member gets a key tag to get in any time, day or night, 365. Just don’t try to show your 3 year old where you work out or you may get an email accusing you of letting minors in the club to workout, as if you set her up on the leg press with a couple plates. Nonetheless, the place is clean, the staff is nice, and it has everything the non-​professional weightlifter/​cardio-​pursuer needs.

I love coming to AC4 for several reasons:
1) It is conveniently located next to my work. It is just a short drive and I can get in a killer cardio session during my lunch break.
2) During lunch, it is generally not busy and I can get on any machine of my choice
3) The staff is super friendly
4)The filtered water is a bonus!
5) AC4 has house rules set to keep everyone comfortable during their workout
6) This is the cleanest gym I have ever been to. The staff is constantly cleaning and keeps their gyms spotless.
Unfortunately, the wonderful news has spread to the community and both gyms locations have become quite busy during peak hours (5 – 8 PM). It used to be easy to grab any machine desired but now there is a queue during this time. Also, I like to incorporate HITT into my cardio sessions and the treadmills become unstable after I increase the speed above 10.0 (at both locations). The other gym I attend, I increase the speed up to 12.5 and do not have this issue. Otherwise, I would have given AC4 5 stars.

Good and clean gym. I only use it for arm day, cardio but they also have tanning available which is a huge plus. They lack in legs and chest equipment but cleanest gym in town with great facilities!

Four years ago I was diagnosed as prediabetic and with chronic hypertension. It wasn’t until 6 months ago that I became determined to take my health back and I made a HUGE goal for myself. I was going to compete in a NPC competition, and I was going to do it in a healthy and non extreme way so that I could continue the healthy lifestyle after the show. I did it! I made it to the stage! I didn’t take away any trophies, but I got my health back, and that means more than anything to me. I don’t have to live in fear that I won’t be around for my four children and husband anymore.
Not only is AC4 Fitness affordable, but it is a friendly and supportive environment to workout in. AC4 Fitness is all the gym that you need to reach your health and fitness goals.

So here we are, one year later. 75 lbs lost (but I put back on a few since and am getting back down there again)
This is an excellent gym and it is no coincidence. The owner, his son and the wonderful staff are very meticulous in you having a perfect gym experience. The machines, the floors, the restrooms and shower areas are constantly being checked and cleaned.
There are towels and spray bottles nearby every piece of equipment and generally everyone does their part.
I have been at all hours and find there is never an issue getting on a bike or an elliptical or a treadmill or any of the free weights.
Cold or room temp, low or high pH filtered water is on tap.
I really love this gym and am really pushing myself to see how in shape I can get.

Very nice facility. It is very clean and the 24 hour availability is uncomparable. I have found myself coming in at 11pm before, at this time, most if not all other gyms wold be closed in this area at that time. In addition to his, their Eco-​water system is a strong addition. Some things that I would add to this companies two gym locations is a fly machine as another option in addition to their cable fly machine. Overall, this place offers everything that you realistically need at an uncomparable price. This is coming from an 18 year old athlete.

Best gym in the goodland and SB! Love the hydro massage. The affordability and the atmosphere. And the shirts fit perfect. :) Thanks AC4 for doing gym right.

Such a great gym and the people who run it are delightful! The monthly fee is very reasonable, the facility is always clean, and it is so convenient that it is open 24 hours.

Perfect gym for me. It has all the essentials of one’s own private gym. Not at all gold’s gym like, which is a plus for me. Everyone who attends is nice and courteous. Clean and well kept.

Wow, what an amazing place. Just signed up for the VIP membership a few days ago and am loving it here. Clean, everything you could want in exercise equipment and cardio. Big bathrooms, nice private showers and the tanning and hydromassage is a total bonus. Oh and I forgot to mention fast WIFi for my Podcasts. Met the owners tonight too, super kind and professional. This place was so needed!

I joined just a few weeks ago and love it. The gym is owned and operated by Tony Calhoun and his two sons, Ian and Connor. The gym is named in honor of Tony’s other son, Anthony, who was killed in an auto crash in 2009. Their story and commitment to making the gym a reality after tragedy, in addition to their environmentally conscious approach confirmed for me that I was in the right place.
I was super impressed when Connor remembered my name after only my second visit to the gym. Having access ²⁴⁄₇ makes life even easier, and there’s rarely an issue with availability of machines at any hour. I’ve found the other clientele to be polite and discreet — everyone pretty much keeps to themselves. The facility and equipment is always clean. I’m reticent to praise the Hydro Massage as so far there’s rarely ever a wait for a table, but that alone is so worth a VIP membership.
Second location is opening soon, near La Cumbre. Yay!

It’s a great gym… The ease of being able to use it when ever you want is awesome! It’s safe, clean and seems to have everything I need…
There are people that have left a review that there is only 1 bathroom… There are bathrooms upstairs and downstairs… So just so ya know, there is not only one. ;)

AC4 is a great cardio only gym.
If you’re looking for ellipticals, bikes, recumbent bikes, treadmills and the odd stair master this facility is perfect for you.
I would not advice this gym for anyone who is interested in beginning strength training or bodybuilding. This facility is missing almost every important piece of equipment needed to start more popular strength training programs such as Stronglifts 5×5 or Starting Strength. Due to the lack of these pieces of equipment it’s almost impossible to do any compound exercises.
The facility does have a smith machine labeled «The Jeff Machine» (I do not know why) which should really never be used for several exercises ie: bench press, squats, deadlifts due to it’s slant because it promotes improper form in beginners and will result in severe joint pain, impingement and damage over time.
Pros:
— ²⁴⁄₇ Access via keyfob
— tons of elliptical machines and bikes
— Open Holidays
— Environmentally friendly
— Usually fairly empty
Cons:
— Missing proper strength training equipment such as a standard olympic bar, power rack, squat rack, half rack.
— Lacks personal trainers and classes
— Gym promotes a «full body» isolation machine based workout…
— Lacks Towel Service
— Only 1 rowing machine
— Only 1 bathroom
— Only 2 changing rooms

Ac4 Is a good little gym in the heart of Goleta that is environmentally friendly (the cardio machines generate power back into the grid). It is especially great for me because I can jog a mile to get there and it has 24 hour access. What makes me drop a star off this place is for selfish reasons; 1.) there is one machine that most gyms have that I like the best but is absent from Ac4. 2.) There is only one bathroom in the whole place, which can be a bit frustrating at times. 3.) NO towel service :(.
Besides those very minor flaws, it’s a very inexpensive gym that has enough for anyone to get a great workout at any time of the day!

No, it’s not a big gym with classes and a swimming pool, but I knew that when I signed up. What it IS is a small, clean, friendly place where I really enjoy exercising.
I usually come at odd hours when there are only a handful of people there, but I occasionally go at what seem to be «peak» hours and there’s always room for me to have the workout I want. I love that the clientele is diverse in age and body type and I love that there aren’t pictures of sinewy «afters» on the wall. I’ve gone to gyms where it really felt like everyone was trying to look better than everyone else, but here everyone just seems to be happy doing their own thing!

I recently joined this gym and I like it so far! It’s close to my house and conveniently located next to the freeway for easy access to the freeway on my way to work in the morning. Members get a key fob entry buzzer thingie for 24 hour access, which is a real benefit for me. Being at work at 8 on a Sunday isn’t a problem since I can go to the gym at 6 (hooray.)! There never seem to be more than a 8 – 10 people there (again, I’m mostly there at the crack of dawn or mid-​day), so I haven’t ever had to wait for a cardio machine or the right weights. VIPs can pay more for tanning or a hydromassage bed.
Other +/​-​s:
+ private shower/​changing rooms
— only 2 of them
+ bathrooms upstairs too!
+ personal TVs on half the ellipticals: D
— small, so no classes offered
