High Desert Fitness Center - Ridgecrest, California

Nice, clean facility. I was in Ridgecrest working for a few weeks and felt very welcomed to join their ongoing fitness program/course. Brandon and
the other instructors took the time to make sure I understood the exercise and that I was performing it properly. Thanks HDF!

I have been a client at High Desert Fitness for at least 5 years and I can confidently say that it has brought an immense amount of joy and positivity to my life. Every single instructor is highly professional and yet incredibly personable and compassionate. They are very knowledgeable and they push you, but respect your boundaries and make necessary modifications depending on your situation. During COVID, they went out of their way to instruct us over zoom, and though they made it seem so simple, we all know how difficult it must have been for them to encourage movement on an online platform. But they did! The environment and atmosphere at HDF is so uplifting and encouraging, I have made such good friendships and memories with fellow members and my instructors 🙂

I began to workout at High Desert Fitness about 5 years ago, and it truly changed my life. My personal trainer put so much effort into creating workouts that catered to me; there was never a training day I wanted to skip. The environment is so incredibly friendly and positive, it truly feels like every person there is rooting for you to progress and improve 🙂

This gym has a great atmosphere, very exclusive and locate in a great location. I like that it is a private studio gym and I don't have to worry about waiting in line to use the machines! The gym is always clean and always smells good. I like that it is never crowed and I don't have to deal with a big crowd.The gym is very affordable and you get to speak with the owner instead of dealing with corporate problems. I wish there were more gyms like High Desert Fitness center !!

I started working out at HDF a little over a year ago. I had my consultation with the owner Sheena Temple and we discussed what my personal fitness goals were and the best way to achieve them. I needed a personal trainer who could help me achieve my goals while also taking into consideration various health problems I am dealing with. I signed up for a year of training sessions 3 times a week for 1 hour each session. I did this for six months. I was so satisfied with the results from working out with Sheena that I decided to increase my workouts to 4 times a week and started working with various trainers. Daniel Harrison is the other trainer I work with and he really makes it a point to challenge and push you every step of the way.

My starting weight was 142 and my body fat was up there. In just one year I have managed to maintain a 120-125 weight and my body fat percentage is at 16% as of today.
They made sure to work on my weaknesses before allowing me to start moving towards lifting heavier weights and Daniel is great for nutritional advice!

There was one issue that I had a HDF and that was one of the trainers I was working with failing to keep appointments and he was not very focused on the work out as time went on. Sheena quickly addressed the issue and switched me to a more reliable trainer (Daniel). There were also issues with this same trainer collecting money for services he was not providing. He has since been terminated.

I strongly recommend this gym to anyone who is serious about their fitness goals. The personal trainers are great and they are always packed for group training classes. I am not into the group training but I know a lot of people who love going to them!

Love love love HDF!!! I have wanted to join for over a year and I finally did this past March! I only have one regret… NOT JOINING EARLIER!!!! I was super self conscious starting as I was in the very beginning stages of my journey. But, ALL the instructors (and the members too) have been great at encouraging me and even helping me realize I can do more than I give myself credit for! I love the small intimate classes, it makes it so I get more personalized attention to help with form and in helping me reach a little further. Between eating better and the classes, I am on a roll to reaching my goals and getting fit. I look forward to going to class, that and seeing the inches fall off keep me going. Thank you HDF for being you!

I work out with my mom a few times a week at High Desert Fitness. The trainers are really motivating and make working out fun! I am in middle school and I was so excited when they allowed me to start going to the training sessions. Other gyms in the area will not allow children to work out =(

HDF is awesome!

The gym space is great. I wanted to try out their personal training but they charged me almost $700 without asking me if I wanted to commit to their program. I wasn't planning on working with them because they didn't provide any kind of diet plan or nutritional help, which is critical for any fitness plan. I can't speak for they're other programs, but I'm not paying that much to have someone stand there and watch me exercise. No feed back, no form teaching, no nutrition; highly disappointed.
