York’s Core & Fitness

I literally hate working out but somehow all the trainers at YCF get me to the gym at 6 am! Honestly the best environment! Super clean and great vibes, can’t recommend DY and York’s enough!

This is the greatest most motivating places I have ever been to workout. Everyone encourages each other. I love it… great atmosphere and very inviting!

A must! I’ve worked out at many of gyms and I have never had personal training or classes like this. DY is amazing and so are all of the other trainers. They all have their own style yet each is super effective. If you like to get true results from your workouts then check this place out, NOW!!!
Very clean, very friendly & very reasonable prices

My family of five and I have been members of this gym since the first day it opened. The layout and types of equipment are so unique (tires, rollers, v pull row scaffolds, ab wheels, balance boards, weight vests, bungees, sleds, sandbags, and even sledgehammers), ever evolving, and just plain fun to use. My three children regularly train here 3 – 4 times a week paying a reduced fee. This brings me to my next point, the reason the membership is reduced for the kids is b/​c they are swim team members. The proprietor of this gym offered to lower their rates when he saw so many swimmers regularly coming in. He understands the athletes that take their sport very seriously and wants to see them succeed in their sport. Of course, he only took notice of the swimmers because he is there every day. EVERY DAY and all day! Not only that, but he takes the time to converse with new members and people whom he sees attend his gym in order to get to know them, offer advice on what equipment and exercises they should try, and is just very welcoming and friendly in general. His goal is to make everyone feel like they are a member of his family, and he definitely goes out of his way everyday to do that. In one of my last conversations with him I found that he trains professional athletes in the NFL and NBA! Another time I was unable to train during the week, so he opened his gym on Sunday at nine in the morning – specifically so a friend and I could workout. His employees share much of his enthusiasm and kindness. I forget my card almost every day, they simply ask for my name and I’m good to go! All I had to say was «I forgot it» and they look me up in the computer, by now they know me by face. This gym is not the corporate-​type gym. It’s an athletic training facility (noticeable by the different pieces of equipment used for baseball, football and even volleyball players). The equipment moves because it’s the individual trainers that set up what they need for their personal clients (many of whom are high school, collegiate and pro athletes). The large equipment has moved because the owner is very progressive and is constantly adding to his plethora of training methods and machines. There are no lockers… we put our wallets, smart phones, keys, purses, etc in the cubbies which are in plain sight of the owner, employees and anyone working out in the gym… there have been NO instances of theft. The facility is spotless. Cleaning is constant throughout the day. The owner has instilled a sense of «family» in his gym… proven by his constant presence and the fact that he situated his desk that oversees the entire facility… that is done specifically to make himself available to his members. Bottom line is if you are looking for a Gold’s Gym, 24Hour Fitness or Maverick’s then this is not the type of gym for you. If you are an athlete who is serious about your sport, looking for the most competent instructors of group training classes or looking for the most informed and educated personal trainers then you can’t get better than York’s Core & Fitness.

I always get the best workouts when training here! This gym offers great classes for beginners and experts! Always very clean with friendly staff. Even the members here will treat you like you’re walking into their home. Such a great atmosphere here I LOVE IT!!!

Hands down best gym in Ventura! DY is amazing and you can tell he has gone to great lengths to make sure the other instructors know how to push you, too! You won’t find any classes like these in Ventura! They have a great childcare too!
