Invictus Sports Performance - Santa Maria, California

I love this gym! It has a wide range of equipment that is good quality and the gym is open 24/7. Ricky is a great trainer who really focuses on your goals. You can tell right away that he knows what he’s doing. He takes the time to see if there’s anything you need to work on (imbalances, form, technique…etc). I have never had a trainer like him! He genuinely cares about his clients and gym members. He goes out of his way to make sure you’re not injured/having any discomfort. Also, he is really cool to talk to and the vibes of the gym are great. Everyone is just trying to work on themselves and motivate each other. I’ve never been to a gym that has such a welcoming environment. I definitely recommend this gym to anyone. You won’t find another gym like this in the Central Coast!

Ricky is an amazing personal trainer. Right from the beginning I could see he is extremely passionate about weightlifting and his business. He is also extremely patient and really cares how you feel with each workout. He also takes the time to evaluate your strengths and areas of weaknesses aka improvement. His workouts are well planned out and if you have any troubles he’s quick to adjust the exercise so you can do better next time. I have been a client for about 5 months and I came in with no experience whatsoever in weightlifting. With Ricky’s help I have gotten so much stronger physically and mentally. Again I can’t thank Ricky enough for feeling amazing physically. I also love this gym because the equipment is top of the line and has very passionate members as well. Ricky has worked very hard to make this gym very welcoming even to people who are just starting out in weightlifting. I really advice anyone who is passionate about weightlifting and their overall fitness to be a member at Invictus Sports Performance. Also if you’re intimated by gyms or don’t know what to do please get personally trained by Ricky! You will not regret it!

This is the best gym I've ever been to hands down. Here are a few of many reasons:

- Full 24 hour access. My schedule is all over the place, so it's nice to be able to do very early mornings or very late nights.

- The culture here is top notch. I was fairly new to weight lifting when I joined, and I also have several mobility issues. From day one, I have never stopped learning. Everyone there is very kind and eager to help with form, spotting, etc. Ricky has been very helpful and always goes out of his way to serve people in the gym.

- There are plenty of weights to go around. I never have to wait for a squat rack or a bench. (I workout in the mornings and night time).

- The atmosphere is great. The people who come here work hard and play hard. Being in this environment has definitely helped me grow in my fitness and health.

Overall, this is a great gym filled with great people. I enjoy every time I show up, and would highly recommend this gym to any family or friends.

Invictus is one of the greatest training facilities I’ve ever been too. They are welcoming to lifters of all skill levels and have a world class selection of equipment. The owner, Ricky, was incredibly friendly and helpful and within minutes I was familiar with the equipment and able to start training. I cannot recommend this space enough to anybody looking to take their athletics seriously!

SERIOUSLY BEST GYM IN TOWN!! I’m a member at three other local gyms in Santa Maria and commercial gyms are great but Invictus gym gives you a more personal feel with great coaching! Ricky helps out every single member in his gym no matter what fitness level you are. I’ve never been a member at a gym and had the gym owner help me out the way he does. You have a goal and he will help you get there. As an added perk you get 24hr access so when all other gyms are closed including holidays, this ones open!

This is an awesome gym. Great environment. Great equipment. And Ricky is awesome. Will go out of his way to help you with the kinks to help you become the best version of yourself. For me it was my shoulder. Ricky helped me rehabilitate it with mobility work and it feels brand new. Best gym in town.

Was visiting Sanata Maria for a few days, but still needed a place to lift and a global gym would not do! Searched gyms in the area and based off of online pictures, this gym looked like it was the one.
Turned out to be BETTER! Such an incredible find! This little, but mighty, gym has EVERYTHING! I felt like a kid in a candy store.
Ricky was super friendly, instructed us on how to enter/leave the gym and then let us do our thing.
Such a great environment and we'll definitely return anytime we're in Santa Maria!!
