Break A Sweat
Santa Barbara Athletic Club
With over 100 weekly group-fitness classes, there's something for everyone (and everyone's scattered schedules) at this fitness center that's nothing like your average gym. With a zen-like pilates studio and sweeping mountain views, getting your tush to the gym will no longer feel like a chore.
Santa Barbara Athletic Club, 520 Castillo Street (between Haley and Cota streets); 805-966-6147.
CrossFit
Olympic athletes swear by it, but trust us when we say you don't need years of training to get through CrossFit in one piece. This butt-kicking program requires you to workout three to five days per week, and the sets are intense and short, taking about 5-15 minutes to complete. The explosive exercises target every muscle in your body, so get ready to be transformed, head-to-toe.
CrossFit Pacific Coast, 220 East Cota Street (between Santa Barbara and Garden streets); 805-845-4171.
Power Of Your Om Yoga Studio
Did you know your yoga mat can double as a dance floor? Well, during Power Of Your Om Yoga Studio's Shake Your Asana class, students have been known to get groovy after a few bow poses. Plus, the 75-minute total body conditioning course, Body Bootcamp, has been known to change lives.
Power of Your Om Yoga Studio, 1221 State Street, #201 (near Anapamu Street); 805-633-0904.
Body-You-Love
Yes, treadmills and lifting weights will help you get fit. But, sometimes we forget that it's not just pumping iron that builds a better you — it's also about taking care of your mind and body, too. Attend a nutritional consultation or arrange an appointment with a health coach (so much more than personal trainer!) and you'll get even closer to achieving your dream bod.
Body-You-Love, 209 Gray Avenue (between Montecito and Yanonali streets); 805-896-1137.
