2 Steps Ahead Performance Training

One of the main reasons I love living in Salinas. This gym will change you physically and you will have fun doing it. I get bored easily and 2 Steps keeps the workouts fresh and challenging. Really positive environment and worth every penny. Give it a try… I am sure glad I did!

This place rocks! For functional fitness I haven’t trained this hard since I was in the Marines. The training team are also the owners and they are committed to a fit and healthy lifestyle. Thanks for keeping me ready for anything! Yeah!!!

Love 2 Steps Ahead. My son and I started going there about a year ago and we absolutely love it. Together we lost over 40 lbs and love our physical transformations. Everyone asked us what our secret is and this is it. The gym offers a selection of great classes from spin, fit, Piyo and yoga. The trainers are really awesome, they push and challenge you to do you best. You feel like you are a part of a great team. The first class is free, come in and check it out!

I love 2 steps! I’ve been going for the past 2 weeks and I am impressed with their classes! I take the FIT and TBC classes they are my favorite. 2 steps also offers spin, turbo, and I believe R.I.P.P.E.D. Great gym and great trainers!

I love 2 steps ahead! I have been active my entire life. Playing sports while growing up and through high school kept me fit, but now I am working and the organize sport isn’t so much of an option. I have been going to this gym consistently 2 – 3 times per week for 8 months and I feel like I am in the best shape since high school… 16 yrs ago. I got into running and mountain biking a few years ago and the 2 Steps workouts have only complimented these other sports. I feel stronger, more balanced, more coordination. For example, I haven’t touched a jump rope in 20 years. How simple is jumping rope. right? Well try it… it’s NOT like riding a bike. :) I have relearned simple skills like that too.
I ran the Heart and Sole 10k in 2012 and then again in 2013. After working out with this gym for 8 months, I shaved off 7 minutes on my time… THAT’S HUGE! I can contribute it to the hard work that the trainers have pushed me to do. Thank you 2 steps!
Speaking of trainers! I am the kind of guy who needs variety. I never take the same running route, or the same mountain bike routes, or order the same subway sandwich… I always mix it up! That’s what you get at 2 Steps. The classes are NEVER the same. Yes you will do some of the same type of exercises/​stations (example push-ups)…but there is so much variance from class to class… it’s awesome! I never get board. This is due to the variety of trainers, and their individual creativity.
The only negative thing I can say about this gym is I wish they offered more options in class times, I can’t always make the 2 or 3 time slots they have per day.
Cost: Very affordable. especially if you can go to 10 – 15 classes per month, it works out to be very affordable.
Over all… I am very thankful for this gym! Love the trainers! Love the team and supportive atmosphere! I love how I look and feel!
Thanks 2 Steps Ahead!

I was torn between giving this gym 4 or 5 stars. I decided on 4 stars only because it is a very high impact workout. But everything else is fantastic! I worked out at the «Y» 3 times a week for ten years but this is so much better! The instructors are much friendlier and the members are all super nice too. In all my years at the «Y» I never had another member cheer me on or clap but my first time here I got high fived by someone I did not even know after dragging my butt in last place during one of the drills. After a working out hiatus I am in poor shape and I was initially concerned after the first class that maybe this was too much for me but the instructors are encouraging so I have stuck with it.
It is one big room, no lockers or office. No attitude. This is the real deal for training. There is a place to put your stuff at one end, water and a small table for paperwork. And there is plenty of room here even when class is large. I do not have the time to show up to a gym 20 minutes early just to get a workout spot on the floor. And they don’t charge for towels (I just read that another local gym does).
Oh, and there is plenty of adequate parking which is another perk.
Like there motto says:
BE AN ATHLETE!

You want to have fun and sweat like you have never sweat before? This is the place to do it! A great group of trainers to take you through each and every class!!! It’s not your ordinary gym. You need to come in and try it!!! You can be a complete beginner or a complete athlete and still enjoy the same workout and get great results!!!

Bar none the best place to workout in Salinas or Monterey, I’ve been to most places in these cities and nothing compares.
So this place specializes in athlete performane… speed, agility, and flexibilty and if you’re the type that gets bored with old school regular workouts then you have to give this place a shot. Most of the workouts are done in a class type setting with the exercises pre-​written by the two owners who also run the classes. But you can also go in and workout on your own if you want. Although the classes are the best thing going, and most people just do that. The workouts themselves are extremely challenging, using equipment like medicine balls, kettlebells, swiss and bosu balls, title bags and balls, elastic bands, bulgarian bags, gymnastic rings, and tons of other stuff. But there’s also a ton of challenging body weight work. There’s also a good amount of running and footwork… all about speed. And most classes have some martial art-​esque punching and kicking element too.
There’s so much good and cool stuff about this gym that its hard to think of it all, and all I have to say is you have check it out and you’ll become addicted… great atmosphere and extremely positive and friendly people.
Be an athlete and check it out.
