Martinez Athletic Club - Martinez, California

Kara Kohl

I've been a regular member of this club since January 2024 and my only regret is not joining sooner! I was hesitant to join a gym post-pandemic, but the results I see and feel from working out at home pale in comparison to the workouts I get at this club.

The bootcamp and spin classes are my favorite. Ben and Che are both excellent trainers and they are the main reason I look forward to each class. I especially love attending the day time bootcamp class as a way to break up my work day or a spin class after work to get my mind off of things.

Sometimes I'll even attend a bootcamp and spin class in the same day...which is not something I expected to want to do when I first joined.

The other club members are genuinely nice, too, and it feels like a community because there are a lot of regulars. I even get sad when I go on vacation now, because I know I'll be missing out on my favorite classes!

MAC is a great place and I strongly encourage everyone to give it a try.

This place rules! Ben and his team offer fun, high energy workouts that will get you into fantastic shape. I have been going to the MAC for four years and love personal training sessions with Ben as well as the Bootcamp and Spin classes. Highly recommended!

Love taking classes with Ben! His classes are upbeat, fun, and I always look forward to it. If you’re looking for a good sweat and the feeling of fulfillment, this is a great place to be. 🙂

Martinez Athletic Club is hands down the best gym I have ever worked out at! It has a great class schedule! Amazing classes! Spin Fusion classes are the best! The workouts are always changing so boredom is never an issue. Ben the owner & trainer is the best! He is very knowledgeable and always makes the gym a fun environment to workout at! You won’t regret joining this gym!

This is the best gym I have ever been a member of. I LOVE it here. I am not able to go as often as I used to, but I refuse to give up my membership. I love the classes and Ben has added more/changed some of them. There is a special event at least once a month that is incorporated into the fitness class-- it's always nice to change things up so you don't get in a rut and bored at the gym. The schedule offers a TON of different classes at all times of the day, and they're all included in your monthly membership fee, AKA no hidden fees.

Plus, if you talk with Ben, you can let him know your personal fitness goals and he will make sure to help you stay on track to achieve them. At most gyms you have to pay an arm and a leg extra for that kind of personal and individualized service.

These are a few of the things that set MAC and Ben apart from other gyms. Try it out and I'm sure you can add more to your list of reasons why MAC is the best gym to be at a member.

I love the MAC! I've been going for almost 4 years and it totally changed my life! Everyone is friendly, helpful and totally welcoming. It feels like family. Which helps motivate me to go to the 5 am classes! Ben is amazing and keeps things fun by having a variety of workouts. Go and you will not regret it!

I joined almost a year ago and love it! Here you will find a variety of classes throughout the week. I specifically enjoy the Spin class and CycleTone-Barre. Ben is the owner and he is an amazing person and trainer. He is passionate, knowledgeable, and down to earth. He pushes you mentally and physically to be your personal best. This is a great place to get fit and get stronger. I highly recommend!

I've been coming for boot camp for a few weeks and loving it. The classes are exactly as hard as you need/want them to be and there's excellent variety to the workouts day-to-day. Ben has tons of different equipment to use and keeps his classes running quickly and smoothly. Plus, the gym itself is adorably Instagramable, which doesn't hurt. I highly suggest trying it out.
