History

Established in 1981.

Kennedy Club Fitness-​Paso Robles Adventure opened December 2007, as the fourth and latest Kennedy Club Fitness location in San Luis Obispo County, California.

With over 42,000 sq. ft of state-​of-​the-​art fitness equipment, expansive 50-​meter outdoor pool area, three group fitness studios and the finest fitness and service professionals in the industry, Kennedy Club Fitness engages, energizes and inspires all members to reach their health and fitness goals.

Says, General Manager, Matt McClish, «It is my great privilege to be able to work with our members and be a positive force in their lives. My dream has always been for our members to feel that this is so much more than a health club but, instead, is a way of life. We work very hard to provide exceptional service in all aspects and create „raving fans“ among our members».

Meet the Manager

Matt M.

Manager

Hi there,

I have been the proud GM of the Paso Club since the day it opened. We strive to bring you the best health club experience on the central coast (or anywhere for that matter). I «grew up» managing for a large wholesale club and after 13 years decided I wanted to finish school. I moved to the central coast, started folding towels at the Kennedy in AG and started school. I moved up the ranks at Kennedy and was promoted to GM of the new Paso club — during this time I also managed to finish my degree at Cal Poly — Go Mustangs!

I love working at a place where people come to make their lives better. It is exhilirating to be a part of this — to feel the energy that a positive group brings — it really needs to be experienced to be believed.

We have a lot of fun here (take a look the profile pic of my ‘family’) at our recent Dog Jog. There is stuff like that all the time.

I invite you to contact me if you want to experience this for yourself or if you have any concerns.

An excellent facility with beyond poor customer service. My purpose for inquiring was to discuss the different membership rates and time frames, however, I became incredibly distracted by how apathetic and rude each customer service representative was that i spoke with. I user experience is a 1-​star. The quality of the facility gives it my second.

All I want to say is that Amber Binning is the best instructor I have ever been to! Love her power class, and will be testing out her tour class this Friday! Keep it up Amber!

Good and bad things about this place. Good things, it is a beautiful facility, the staff are always welcoming. Bad things, not only is it pricey which I understand pool, classes, machines, basketball you name it. I loved it when I first joined until the machines started to fill up people on there for an hour plus when there is a 30 minute limit during busy times. The pool in the mornings the school is there taking up every single lane so the majority of the time you cannot get a lane, or they change it to short course/​long course which you also have to plan your day around. I do believe if you pay 40 – 50 a month you should be able to use the machines/​pool not have to plan your day around the gym schedule. When I called this morning to talk to someone he was apparently the manager and said to me «there’s not much I can do, if it doesn’t work it doesn’t work» come December it’s time for a different place! REGARDING YOUR COMMENT. Actually that is totally false you cannot go at 6am because the school takes up every single lane. And for paying that price you shouldn’t have to drive to Atascadero to get to use a membership.

The cons:
Please monitor your bathrooms/​locker rooms (especially the men’s area) for club members who like to stand there buck naked in front of kids. Ewww. Everytime my boys are there they’ve seen some random nude dude and it makes them very uncomfortable.
Also in warm weather the basketball court is a stifling oven.
The pros: good location, mostly friendly staff, very clean facility.

A bit of slide and shuffle on the enrollment; when called on it I get two extra months-«really the same deal». I email to cancel at the one year mark, response was I was an annual contract, only monthly need to cancel but I can simply not renew. Imagine my surprise when the payment deducted for ‘renewal’. I called, now told I have to come in and request cancellation.
Again, slide and shuffle; not a trustworthy or forthright business practice.

Terrible employees. We came here for a large basketball tournament in a small facility. The staff couldn’t have been ruder to all of us. Didn’t want any of us to sit in the waiting room to wait for our games and treated us like we didn’t belong there. We have had these tournaments in the Kennedy center in San Luis and always been treated with respect. These people suck!

Clean… Or at least the appearance of clean.
You may pay a little more but equipment appears clean and the management is friendly.
Pool is great for the summer and water aerobics.
They address your concerns and have a nice balance to the gym.

Best gym in Paso. The classes are wonderful with great instructors and push me further than I can ever push myself. Beautiful facility and helpful staff. My kids have a great time playing at the kids club and I’m happy that they are well taken care of.

I love KCF for all it has to offer me and my family. My girls love the kids club. the staff is always warm and loving. I love the group fitness classes, knowledgeable personal trainers and friendly counter staff.
For over 8 years I have been a Kennedy member… I can happily say it feels like home.

I (try to) work out between 3 and 4 days a week. I absolutely love the classes they have to offer. They even have a new mommy and me class where you can wear your baby, and it’s amazing and such a great workout! Super fun for the mommies and babies. I love that they have the daycare as well. All of the staff has been amazing and I love that I’m comfortable leaving my 3 year old and 6 month old.

I have been going to KCF for about 3 years now and just love it. The instructors are incredible, especially Shellee, Janay, Sandra and Megan. The classes are a lot of fun and that helps when trying to stay on track. I have worked with a few of the trainers and they are all awesome as well.
Kidz club is great, my daughter never wants to leave, it is full of friendly and very caring ladies. My only complaint is the reservation requirement for particular classes, it should just be a first come first serve type of thing rather then waiting to see if people actually show up for their spot. Other then that I love the place!!!

I joined Kennedy about six months ago, and I’ve been beyond pleased with that choice. I was a little leery because it’s more expensive than other local options, but having access to a sauna, pool, and a more varied type of equipment motivated me to try it out.
Since then, I’ve taken personal training sessions with Keri and Nick — both who are excellent and knowledgeable. I tend to go in the early afternoons and it’s not crowded, but if you around 8 – 8:30 or so, I hear it can be crowded. The staff always greets you as you enter and leave, the locker room is clean (although I’m not a huge fan of the hand soap they use), and the few group classes I’ve taken are quite challenging (but the trainers are good about helping people modify so anyone can be successful).
While I was initially leery to pay so much, I’m glad I invested in myself and choose Kennedy. My family enjoyed the pool this summer, too — thanks to their family swim program.

I don’t know why everyone seems to be bashing customer service here. I am always greeted with a smile and a hello, and they haven’t missed telling me to have a nice day on my way out either! This facility makes me love going to the gym, and the classes are phenomenal (shout out to Zumba with Heather!)
My only complaint is that I really wish they stayed open until 10 every night instead of closing early on Sundays.
Aside from that, great gym, great people, and motivating atmosphere to stay fit. Keep it up Kennedy.

The childcare here is AMAZING. I feel great about leaving my kids here which gives me better workouts! The free weight area could have more space but I really enjoy everything about working out here.

If I could, I would give this a negative star.
This looks like a breeding place for pedophiles. There are always naked old men walking around in the locker room with no towel or shorts on (just to be specific). It’s disgusting! I hate going in there. And to make it worse, the only way for the young children to get to the pool outside is through the locker room. That’s another issue. I didn’t join the gym to swim with the high school and elementary swim team. I don’t want to be labeled as a perv either. I did bring it up to a lady at the front desk and asked to speak to a manager to see if there was anything they could do about it. She said let me go get him, and came back five or so minutes later to say, «oh he just must have went to lunch cause he’s not here.» So I left my name and number and told her to have him call me as soon as he got back. He never did. The free weight area is small and they have only a few items. There are only about 12 treadmills and bikes and it stays hot upstairs consistently. Sometimes too hot to run up there. The treadmills are by the windows so the sun hits them at sunset. That never made sense to me. Why put the weights and treadmills upstairs and have just a tiny area for them. And a huge first level that’s used for aerobics and basketball. That could have been set up upstairs. Needless to say, when my contract is up, I’m not staying.

All the Tour instructors are such great people and teachers! They respect the fact that everyone is at different levels! Love coming here and learning to think, look, and more importantly FEEL better! Thank you Kennedy Club Fitness!
One comment: I think they should lower their prices for students. A monthly $ 5 discount doesn’t REALLY help students out. We didn’t earn the phrase «broke college students» for a reason haha.

Clean, professional and a great range of classes. Kennedy Club Fitness really does offer the best gyms on the Central Coast, particularly the Paso Robles location. They’re open, well-​lit with plenty of machines, and the patrons seem to be pretty dang serious about their fitness (let’s be real, Paso/​Templeton moms are pretty ripped and look way better in their True Religions than most local 20 year olds…).
The gym works for every kind of fitness level and style. From pilates, aerobics, or sculpting to hardcore conditioning/​crossfit-​like classes – even kickboxing, which I was pretty thrilled about – Kennedy classes are led by enthusiastic, friendly instructors with awesome bods. Whenever I’m in town, I use classes as a way to be social/​plan a get together with family and friends (to be followed by lunch downtown!).

Zumba! With 9 classes available between Paso and Atascadero, I have so many choices 6 days a week!
KCF also offers different instructors… which gives me a selection for a variety of styles and intensities. Am I up for high energy or lower-​key? The beauty with Zumba is that you can lessen or intensify on your own. Zumba truly is about the freedom to do it your way and we are encouraged to dance our own style!
The instructors are ALL fun whether they are
super-​spicy like Sarah,
athletic like Emily,
goofy fun like Shay,
entertainment + with Shellee,
and the list goes on.
They all challenge my mind and my body with different moves and music.
The instructors rotate on Saturdays in Paso at 10:30 ~ a great time and class ~ with lots of energy and good will. Often, some of the instructors who are TAKING the class come up on stage and share a song or two bringing even MORE fun energy to the party! The folks on the floor bring great fun energy too!
I so appreciate Kennedy for bringing ZUMBA to their amazing Fitness Club that already offered me my home-​away-​from-​home.
A beautiful facility, wonderful staff, great classes… these people truly demonstrate a warm, caring, and friendly energy. I’ve been with them since 2008 and I’m HAPPY HAPPY HAPPY coming there just about every day of the week! KCF is a gift!

Good club.
I have just two complaints– one minor, one major.
The basketball courts have no windows and just okay circulation. During the summer it gets extremely stuffy in there. Not that big of a deal though.
The hours suck. I understand its probably not worth it to them to stay open longer. Its extremely difficult to work around their hours if you’re working all the time.
I love the gym, but I wish they were open longer, especially on weekends.
