Full Circle Fitness

I liked Judy’s emphasis on core connection throughout the work out. I need to slow down and she helped me there, too.

Karrie’s classes are definitely the highlight of my week! She makes it fun yet challenging. I love that she always changes the routine and keeps us entertained. Her positive approach is infectious and motivating.

Coach Karrie pays attention to your individual level of competence on the reformer, i.e., the amount of springs, etc. I really appreciate that.

I appreciate Karrie’s focused attention on my breath and Pilates technique during each session. She notices exactly when my form drifts and offers clear, easy-to-understand corrections that help me feel what my body needs to do differently. Since starting Pilates four months ago, I’ve gained noticeably more flexibility and strength. My body feels more balanced, and I experience far less pain than before. Thank you, Karrie and the Full Circle Fitness team, for helping me build strength and ease in my body through Pilates.

Tony is very upbeat & encouraging. He gives helpful corrections to maximize the workouts, and quick to suggest alternative movements when needed for physical limitations.

I love how you easily adjust the program to fit the needs of your students I always feel like I’ve had a good workout thank you

So glad you are back. I am pleased that you challenge me and make corrections. I love working with you and hopefully I will keep getting stronger and stronger💕

Great class today and great coaching. This was a new sequence of movements and Tony clearly demonstrated each one. Tony also checks each class member and offers suggestions and positive comments. I have knee issues and appreciate Tony helping with modifications.

Thank you for always making sure we go to the next level. Appreciate you♥️

All went great! I’m excited to start the workouts. Tony was friendly and helpful. No complaints!

This was only for my first assessment, but I found Tony to be affirming, positive, and supportive.

This was only my assessment so it is difficult to judge. Tony was very helpful and supportive for the things I had to do

I really enjoy Kathy as a coach and as a person. She pays attention to ailments and issues each of us has, making sure we're okay and tweaking when needed. But also being tough and wanting us to push ourselves. She is friendly and relatable. Always in a happy, positive mood.

One clear way I’ve gotten stronger at Full Circle Fitness is through consistent exercises designed to build both my strength and stamina. Each session challenges me with a variety of movements that target different muscle groups, from weighted exercises to controlled push-ups, gradually increasing in intensity. The focus on steady progress means I’m not just working out - I’m actually building lasting power and endurance. Because of this consistent effort, I can now climb the stairs without feeling winded or weak, which used to be a struggle. That feeling of being able to handle everyday physical tasks with more energy and confidence really stands out to me and keeps me coming back.

What’s one positive change you’ve noticed since joining Full Circle Fitness? I use to sabotage my training in another Gym, F Circle is a place to go and make what you have to do to be healthy! So Thank you Kathy you create a class to help everyone with enthusiasm and strength .

Karrie possesses a gift where she provides enough personal attention that each participant feels challenged yet she builds a sense of community. Thank you Karrie!

I appreciate that Karrie starts class by checking my physical needs and always makes adjustments to my workouts so that I feel better after working out. Karrie makes workout fun. I appreciate her humor and her wealth of knowledge that she shares when needed. Karrie really cares about her clients.

Attending Karrie’s class, if one can get into it because her class is always on waitlist, is a treat. Its a safe place in more ways than one.

I really enjoy the variety of Karrie’s classes, her attention to detail, and the happy vibe of her classes. I look forward to them each week.

What’s one personal change you’ve noticed since joining Full Circle Fitness? Tony always provides clear, concise cues and a positive attitude to set the tone for a satisfying workout.

This was my first class at Full Circle Fitness, and the atmosphere immediately felt welcoming. The coach guided us through a series of exercises that challenged me just enough without making me feel pressured or overwhelmed. I appreciated how they noticed when I needed a moment to catch my breath and encouraged me to keep going without pushing too hard. Being able to challenge myself in such a supportive environment made the whole experience enjoyable and motivating. It’s clear Full Circle Fitness focuses on balancing effort with comfort, which made me feel confident to keep coming back.

Tony’s gentle and calm manner in his interactions with the class’s participants felt both welcoming and assuring, creating an environment where I felt comfortable and focused throughout. His instructions and demonstrations for each exercise were clear, precise, and easily understood, breaking down complex movements into manageable steps that made it simple to follow along. When I asked for a modification, he confidently provided one that targeted and activated the same muscle group as the original exercise, showing his attentiveness and knowledge. Today’s SGT (strength) session at Full Circle Fitness was exceptional and appreciated - the combination of well-structured exercises and Tony’s supportive guidance made the workout both challenging and rewarding. I left feeling stronger and motivated, looking forward to the next class.

Ashley. Is Wonderful. She correct when needed and gives praise. I like the way she explains the movement.

I really enjoyed Ashley’s energy and upbeat personality. She explained how do do things since I’m pretty new Pilates but what I appreciated even more was how she explained “why” things were done. And lastly, I appreciated the personal corrections she helped me with. Great class.

Kathi does a beautiful job in creating a positive, encouraging environment for us. She pushes us to reach our maximum potential in a safe environment

Kathy is a wonderful coach who is both attentive to each clients needs and helpful with information to do the exercises correctly to minimize injury or pain.

Sue Koch is a wonderful , knowledgeable, patient instructor. I am so happy I decided to take the Tai Chi classes. I felt very comfortable within the group. Thank you Sue for your time and experience. ❤️

Rickye is always encouraging and helpful to correct exercise stances so I get the full benefit 😉 of the classes 😀!

I worked out with Coach Tony Monday, Wednesday, and Friday of this week. Each session was challenging in its own way. I appreciate the way Coach Tony helps me use and improve my proper form and challenges me to work harder or go up in the weights that I use.

Kathy was awesome and it was a great start!! Very happy I’ve joined FCF!!

Rosa is super positive. She gives specific feedback that helps me improve my form. Rosa is so knowledgeable and can kindly and gently improve my form to increase the effectiveness of the workout. Rosa leads her team to create the best gym in Orange County for people above 50!

As usual, a great class with a great instructor, Kathy. The moment the workout starts, her energy fills the room and you can tell she genuinely cares about each of us pushing ourselves safely. I may groan and complain through the tough sets but I always leave Full Circle Fitness with a pep in my step and mind.

It was nice to get back at it after the holidays. Thanks for being so awesome and for making the beginning of my day great

Rickye makes the training a well-rounded experience. She not only provides a great physical workout, incorporating a mix of strength, cardio, and flexibility exercises that challenge different muscle groups, but she also makes sure to include a cognitive piece, engaging my focus and mental endurance throughout the session. Her enthusiasm is contagious. She brings energy that motivates me to push harder while paying close attention to my physical needs, adjusting exercises and intensity based on how my body feels that day. This balance of mind and body work at Full Circle Fitness leaves me feeling stronger, sharper, and more balanced after every session.

Great workout along with specific pointers. Thank you!

What’s one positive change you’ve noticed since joining Full Circle Fitness She is very helpful, listen to my needs. Excellent coach!

Rickey is an awesome coach! She coached in a positive manner! Her little tweaks to what I was doing made a huge difference to the normal pain I feel in my knee when working out. I appreciated the suggestions and positive coaching that resulted in a great workout.

My coach at Full Circle Fitness has helped me overcome workout challenges by consistently modifying my routines to suit my progress and limitations. During each session, they watch closely how my body responds - whether my muscles are growing fatigued or if my form starts to falter - and adjust the exercises right away to keep things safe and effective. For example, if a movement feels too intense or triggers discomfort, they immediately switch to a safer variation that still targets the same muscle groups without losing the workout’s intensity. This might mean changing the angle of a lift or substituting a different exercise that feels more manageable but equally effective. This personalized approach keeps me motivated because I’m challenged but never overwhelmed. It respects my body’s signals and prevents injury, which makes a huge difference in how confident and strong I feel during and after each workout.

Rickye defines the heart and soul of Full Circle Fitness. She has helped me leave a sedentary lifestyle behind by not focusing on perfection but progress. I appreciate her encouraging greetings (especially today the Monday after a holiday break), her help adapting movements for a bad knee, and her consistent suggestions to improve form and thus effectiveness. Rickye is the consumate multitasker and an amazing role model for how to age with grace and strength. I so appreciate her contribution to my fitness plan!

I love Pilates class. With such small classes, I have learned how to move my body in ways that protect my lower back. Karrie’s humor always makes me smile. I feel 100% stronger and have more energy than when I started. Hopefully, next year, I will be even stronger! I look forward to more Pilates classes opening up in the future. The waiting list often works, but it is hard to plan ahead. Ideally, I would like another floor Pilates class on a week day!

The gym is convenient, stocked with all the equipment I need - from free weights and resistance machines to a variety of cardio options - and it never feels overcrowded, even during peak hours. Since joining Full Circle Fitness, I’ve noticed my stamina has improved significantly. I’m able to push through longer cardio sessions on the treadmill and elliptical without feeling drained halfway through, and I’m lifting heavier weights with better endurance and control. The coaches are attentive in a way that really stands out. They watch my form closely during each rep, pointing out small adjustments - like shifting my foot placement or engaging my core more - that help prevent injury while making every movement more effective. What I appreciate most is how they personalize each session based on how I’m feeling that day. If I mention feeling tired, they might suggest modifying an exercise or lowering the weight slightly, but if I’m energized, they’ll encourage me to increase weight or add extra sets. That balance keeps the workouts challenging but doable, tailored perfectly to my progress and energy. The energy in the gym is motivating without being overwhelming. There’s a steady buzz of focused effort - people encouraging each other quietly or nodding in support - that makes every visit something I look forward to rather than just another chore. It’s a space where pushing yourself feels natural and rewarding.

Ricky was great just wish the mirrors were more helpful in regarding keeping our alignment right. And maybe if the hanging TK‘s were over to the side it would’ve given me more space to pull out my mat instead of going diagonal.

The instructions were clear throughout the class, which made it easy to follow along without confusion. The coach made sure everyone understood each movement before starting and offered helpful tips on form during exercises like squats and lunges. I appreciated how she noticed when I struggled with a particular move and adjusted the pace so I could keep up without feeling overwhelmed. The structure of the class kept me engaged and motivated from start to finish. It felt good to know exactly what to do and why, which made the workout both effective and enjoyable. Full Circle Fitness really stands out because of this thoughtful guidance that keeps you confident and focused.

Kathy is a fantastic coach. She gives lots of pointers about correct form and how to prevent injuries. Most important, she is encouraging and motivating.

What’s one positive change you’ve noticed since joining this gym?" Since joining Full Circle Fitness, I've noticed a significant improvement in my overall energy levels throughout the day. The workouts are challenging but manageable, and the trainers really help keep me motivated. It's become easier to stick to a consistent routine, which has made a big difference in my fitness progress.

As always, class with Karrie at Full Circle Fitness was so exhilarating. She maintains a steady pace that keeps us moving continuously, so there’s no time for boredom or even noticing how many reps we’re doing. Her energy fills the room in a way that makes the workout fly by. Karrie is incredibly attentive to each student’s needs - she watches everyone’s form closely, gently adjusting positions or suggesting lighter weights when needed - so I always feel safe and confident that I won’t injure myself. She offers just enough challenge to push me beyond my limits without ever feeling overwhelming or discouraging. Her sense of humor naturally shines through, keeping the class lighthearted and enjoyable even while we’re working hard. The atmosphere she creates makes each class feel more like a warm hug than a daunting task. Who would have thought exercise could be so much fun?

What’s one positive change you’ve noticed since joining Full Circle Fitness? My shoulder is functioning better .

What’s one way this gym has changed your daily routine?" Full Circle Fitness has helped me build a consistent workout habit. I used to skip days or go irregularly, but now I have a set schedule that I stick to. The trainers at Full Circle Fitness keep me accountable and motivated, which makes a big difference. It’s become a regular part of my day rather than something I have to force myself to do.

Rickey is always amazing. She is firm and gentle at the same time. Knows us all and ensures we are good in our form so we get the most out of our time at Full Circle. Love her-even tho she kicks my ass :)

What’s one positive change you’ve noticed since joining Full Circle Fitness?Mike made the workout fun and enjoyable.

Mike did great today. I appreciate that he paid attention to our form during the movements. I find that you can take an exercise class but if your form is not correct you do not get the full benefit from movements. Thanks Mike.

Rickye was very thorough in ensuring we completed this new program correctly. She took the time before class started to go over settings on the machines for each member and reviewed the stations so we knew what to expect. Rickye always makes our classes fun while keeping us on track.

What positive change have you noticed since joining Full Circle Fitness? Energized, Less stiff and more limber Pilates with Ashley is one of my favorite classes!

I feel so refreshed after taking Carrie’s mat Pilates class today. She is an excellent coach! May I share a thought? With the Holidays and craziness it brings —additional mindfulness or self awareness classes may be beneficial to calm us and keep us centered. Just a thought…..

Mike is an attentive coach who clearly understands each participant’s personal physical issues and thoughtfully works to accommodate them during various exercises. He consistently demonstrates how to perform movements when needed, breaking down the steps and showing proper form. While I don’t require a lot of help, there are moments when I’m left to assume I’m doing things right, but I appreciate that Mike is always nearby, ready to step in if necessary. Every session with him at Full Circle Fitness leaves me feeling that I’ve had a great workout - one that challenges my limits without feeling overwhelming. The way he adjusts exercises based on individual needs creates a supportive yet motivating atmosphere that makes each visit worthwhile.

Coach Mike challenges and supports me at the same time in a good way!

Very kind and attentive

Class was great. The new ab & hip moves were a bit challenging.

Today Rickye's enthusiasm and laughter made class even more fun. She kept the energy high throughout the workout.

Rickye, you are the best! You always provide guidance when needed and make class fun!

Rosa is a great Pilates instructor. She pushes you just enough based on your abilities, never too hard but always challenging in the right way. She has a great eye for even the smallest body movements and form corrections. During class at Full Circle Fitness, she carefully watches each participant, gently adjusting posture or alignment to help you engage the right muscles. This attention really helps everyone get the most out of each class, making the exercises feel more effective and purposeful. I always leave feeling like I’ve done a focused, full-body workout that improves both strength and flexibility.

Working with Rickye has been an absolute delight. She brings incredible energy, kindness, and patience to every session. She doesn’t just explain the exercises—she physically demonstrates each movement with clarity and enthusiasm, making everything easy to understand. What impresses me most is her sharp, eagle-eyed attention to detail. She watches your form closely, just like a protective and caring coach, and offers gentle, effective corrections to keep you safe and help you improve. Her guidance is always encouraging, never intimidating. Beyond her expertise, Rickye is simply fun to be around. Her positive spirit and upbeat personality make every workout something to look forward to. I feel supported, motivated, and genuinely cared for in her sessions. I can’t recommend her highly enough!

Mike was great! Right amount of feedback and help for my first class, so I knew what to do with good form- without being too hovery. :)

Mike is a great coach! He gives good tips on form that really help us to understand how to move safely and effectively. He notices if our posture is off or if someone is struggling with a certain exercise and takes the time to explain how to adjust to avoid injury. I really enjoy the lighthearted banter in class too. It reminds me not to take myself so seriously. This has been a big part of my ability to stick with it, especially since this is the first time I have ever joined a gym or done any formal exercise. I feel stronger and more stable in my own body now - everyday movements feel easier and I have more confidence in my balance and strength. The supportive atmosphere at Full Circle Fitness and the personalized attention I get here have made a huge difference in my fitness journey.

Rickye is always so positive and encouraging! She makes every session feel uplifting with her energy and genuine care. I really appreciate the way she personalizes our workouts, carefully adjusting exercises based on any issues I’m dealing with that day while also building on my strengths. Whether it’s modifying a move to protect a sore knee or adding extra reps when I’m feeling strong, she always knows how to tailor the workout perfectly. My Saturday morning class at Full Circle Fitness is the perfect way to end my week—Thank you, Rickye!

Always mindful of my limitations or where I’m having difficulty, and provides quick adjustment when needed. For example, when I struggled with a particular movement or felt any discomfort, the coach immediately noticed and modified the exercise to better suit my current ability. This attentiveness makes me feel supported. Love that Karrie is always cheerful. I mean always! 😊

Felt good starting to work out, even though I was a little intimidated at first not knowing anything. Mike gave very helpful instructions and feedback throughout the session - he explained each exercise step-by-step and checked my form. I’ll still need help remembering what to do next time. The ladies at the gym were all very friendly, helpful and encouraging . Looking forward to Friday!

She was great as usual! Very attentive to how we are doing.

My motivation centers around strength, and so I try to center all workouts to supporting that goal. Mike has recognized that in me and pushes me to reaching my potential. My shortcoming is confidence, and I appreciate his acknowledgement and encouragement. End result is that I feel supported, more confident, and stronger.

Pushed me to increase the amount of weight I was lifting in the chest press and Kaiser. It felt good to keep challenging myself to get stronger.

Mike was great, we were a bit intimidated and a little lost at the beginning but he was able to get us going and made us quickly feel at ease. We very much enjoyed our first season with him.

She gave me instructions on what to do regarding my injury at work. She offered to do other exercises to help me, but I felt it was better to rest. She is always looking out for me. Love the way explains what she trying to have us accomplish during our sessions

We had a great motivating and challenging class today. 5 star!

I was impressed with how much knowledge Ashley has about scoliosis while helping me complete various moves and how patient she is.

Rickye is an excellent trainer/coach. She is very detailed in explaining and demonstrating movements and how to do them correctly. She also makes sure you perform them properly. I have learned a lot from Rickye of things that I was doing incorrectly.

Love her support, guidance and enthusiasm. She is very knowledgeable too and always has modifications if a movement or exercise can't be done.

Today Mike was encouraging and fun like he always is. He took care to tailor the exercises to each person’s ability. He asked us how we were doing and made modifications when it was appropriate. He knows I’m trying to increase my strength so he pushes me a little, which I appreciate.

Mike challenges me in a supportive way. He’s great at leading a group workout and customizing the set for each person

Mike always willing to make adjustments to my workouts as needed but he never lets me skip out. He knows so many options so he finds something that works

Thorough with movement screen

Today was not different than any other day because Mike is always phenomenal! He is upbeat, positive, encouraging and highly motivating. I always want to try my hardest when he is coaching.

He encourages us to push beyond where we think we can go but gets it when we say we have reached our limits. There may be more for him to learn in terms of watching and correcting our forms, but I think he’s gotten better with that. He’s always pleasant and upbeat and enjoyable to be around.

He is a great motivator. He knows when to encourage me to do more.

So enjoyed the class and the fun interaction between all of us. Loved the different movements and the detailed in being sure we did it correctly.

Ashley is precise, kind, and motivating. She is able to help me identify appropriate muscle activation and positioning for safety and my best results. You work hard in her class but she brings a sense of calm and confidence.

Rosa was very helpful, kind, and patient. I just got a new knee brace and was a bit anxious about how a workout at the gym would work with it. Rosa showed me accommodations so i could get a good workout even using the brace. Great gym.

Excellent as always. I had some soreness today and she help me modify. So I felt better after I left instead of worst like other classes I tske at the studio.

I like the fact that Rickye demonstrates the movements for us so that we can do them properly. I also appreciate that she can keep us on track as we sometimes get distracted with conversations.

Karrie always assesses her class members and adjusts settings for each participants maximum benefit while always realizing there may be small tweaks needed for some of us (my bad back, for example). I love that she keeps the pace going for each activity and gives clear concise oral directions to help us go through the movements. Most of all, I love Karrie's sense of humor and her "realness". She is a wonderful coach who has pushed me to improve and stretch my physical strength and abilities but one who also adjusts the lesson when needed to help me through a lesson.

Cathy keeps us engaged and focused while reminding us about all the good stuff that’s happening to our bodies while we’re doing specific movements or exercises. She checks in with us in the beginning to see how we’re feeling and then helps us do our best.

Pushes for best effort, sensitive to problems. Good coach!

Friday's class was good. I was definitely feeling it after using the gliders. The hollow hold and roll overs are hard, more mental than you'd think getting everything moving to do a single task (rolling over). Thanks for hanging in there with us.

My first time back at a gym in a long time I really liked Carrie as my instructor today I'm super happy I found this little gym and her energy was fantastic and her teaching was far above my expectations

Mike is very fitness knowledgeable and he brings in humor to make the class fun while we are working hard!

Mike is very focused on helping us succeed. I appreciate Mike's experience and sense of humor. I enjoy his coaching.

I came in a bit tired and cranky and Mike was encouraging and funny and soon I was glad I was there. The workout was tough but actually fun. Mike is very supportive. 😊

Great , I m very happy .

Coach is always encouraging us and challenging us. And he's watching and giving feedback on our form. Classes are always fun! And we've increased our strength!!!

As always, Karrie's classes are great

Always appreciate her helpfulness and suggestions of alternative exercises when needed.

Refreshing sense of humor and exacting exercise in one session? Karrie is a delight. Precise instruction and reassuring feedback made for an effective workout and great start to my morning. Thank you!

Jack’s workouts are always challenging, Jack is knowledgeable about the body and how to make us more fit. He is fully engaged in each session providing important feedback to each person. His training is positive and motivating. Every training session is well structured and tailored to a variety of goals and abilities. The workouts have made me stronger and more confident the training is very effective,

He was wonderful! Pushed me just enough and was patient with my slower learning curve!

Karrie is a great Pilates teacher. She is incredibly knowledgeable and always attentive to form, making sure we’re doing each move safely and effectively. Her sense of humor keeps us laughing, and her joyful energy makes every class something to look forward to.

Rickye’s energy helps to keep everyone motivated and moving even on tough speed days when you think you’re not going to make it to the end.

I always enjoy taking Karrie's classes. Today's was especially helpful. Thank you.

Mike is upbeat, positive and always very helpful. He has no ego…he just wants to support and help everyone achieve their fitness goals. He keeps the workouts fun and interesting. I have enjoyed working out with him every time.

Was lucky to have Mike 1 on 1 for today’s session after a two month layoff.

I love Coach Karrie. Her energy is uplifting. Her knowledge of Pilates and preparedness for class is definitely five star. I especially like how she modifies her lesson for each person. Not every person everyday feels the same.

Hi Karrie I like changing up the routine like we did today. I want to continue to be challenged, adding weights did that. Any way we can incorporate the other equipment occasionally? Keep doing what you do, I enjoy our sessions. Liz

He is always right on top of movement and lets you know when you doing right and adjusts when you have problems and dpi G something wrong
