Cal Coast Adventures

Guy helped us out with renting a kayak! It was so fun, glad we ran into him. Best day ever

Mitch at SB fitness yours was GREAT. I was doing my first triathlon in SB and had no clue what kind of bike or pedals to get. He was very patient and incredibly helpful. Set me up on a great bike and provided me with my wetsuit for the tri as well. If you’re ever in SB for the triathlon come here. It’s the one stop shop for all your triathlon needs! Mitch and his crew are all super friendly and very helpful. 5 stars for sure.

Great help for our rentals!
I came to SB for a triathlon, my FIRST one of many I hope, so they were able to help me figure out what type of bike I wanted to rent. The bikes were great, and for how much they were worth and for how much they were rented out for was such a great deal we could not pass up!
We had one mix up when we were ordering the bikes, but they easily fixed it over the phone, no problem. Just make sure to call possibly a couple days before to ensure that you got the bike that you want, because you order your bikes online.
And get this, THEY DELIVER! It made everything so much easier! The staff was REALLY GREAT. When they came to deliver the bike, they really tried to make sure that I knew all there was to know about the bike and what to do if there were any cases such as flat tire, adjustments, etc.
The guys were so great and so knowledgeable about everything! Mitch and Nick were super helpful! Thanks so much for making my first triathlon easier with your help!

We’re renting a vacation cottage in Summerland for a week and wanted to rent bikes. We found SB Fit and were very glad we did. We worked with Paul who was very accommodating and extremely helpful, up to and including delivering and picking up the two beach cruisers we wanted, then trading them in for one mountain bike when we changed our minds. And, he gave us a great price! He was very knowledgeable and great to work with. Highly recommend this business!

These guys were great! I rented a road bike from them for a week of riding in Santa Barbara. They dropped off a nice Cannondale Synapse at the house I was staying at before I arrived, and picked it up after I left. They left me a helmet, bottles, and floor pump as well. It was a hassle free way to get a high end bike for the week.
I also hired John to take me riding the first day. We had a great ride, and he showed me a bunch of other routes for the rest of my trip.

I rented a high end road bike from these guys, and I have to say, they are awesome! The business is well run, and staffed with friendly professionals. Here are more details of my experience:
When the bike was delivered to my vacation rental, Brian was not only on time, but was early. He was very friendly and professional, and spent about 20min making sure I was all set to go. He even took the time to review a route that I had planned in google maps and helped me make adjustments. I proceeded to have a great day of road biking on a very nice, we’ll maintained bike! When Brian returned to pick up the bike at the end of the day, he took interest in how my ride went, and was very much making sure everything went great. I will definitely use these guys again.

Everybody in this operation was top notch. Very responsive and stayed with my family longer than our allotted stand up paddleboarding time to make sure we got the best experience — it even involved switching locations because the wind was too high at the original spot. I truly appreciate Mitch, Nate, Max and the rest of the team. Great guys and great activities — best experience we could’ve hoped for!

Would HIGHLY recommend Santa Barbara Fitness Tours to anyone wanting to try stand up paddle boarding.
My group of three women had never been paddle boarding before but, because of SB Fitness Tours, had an amazing time.
The gear is in perfect condition and the staff is extremely helpful and friendly.

SB Fitness Tours is fantastic. If you book with them you will not be disappointed!
My fiancé and I are getting married in Santa Barbara this summer and have been making multiple trips to Santa Barbara from San Francisco to plan our wedding. During our most recent trip I decided to book a mountain biking tour with SB Fitness Tours. Everything was a breeze, from booking our reservation to getting pick up at our hotel. Additionally, our guide Jesse was not only very experienced but also amazing. He gave us multiple trial options based on our experience and comfort level and then provided helpful feedback to make our scenic climb exceptional and safe.
I was so pleased with SB Fitness Tours that I am planning on including their information on our wedding website where l be referring them to my closest friends and family. Thanks SB Fit Tours! You guys ROCK!

Mitch and Jesse were great. Easy as can be. I was staying at my in-​laws house for the week. So I called up SB Fitness tours. I picked out a great 29er mountain bike, which they delivered to the house where I was staying. Jesse gave me an overview of where to find the best terrain. Off I went.
When the time was up, they picked it up with no hassles. in Summary: better bikes, better rates and better guidance. If you are going to spend time in SB and want to rent a Good bike (not the s%^t they rent on the beach) SB fitness tours is a no brainer easy choice.

I was recently at Edwards on a business trip and on my weekend off I wanted to see what kind of trails Southern California had to offer. I was looking for something steep and technical with amazing scenery, and after reading tons of reviews online I decided to ride Tunnel Trail. I called SB Fitness Tours looking for a good bike and Mitch took care everything. He had a couple of great bikes my size to choose from and all of the protective gear I would need for the descent, including a cowbell. His customer service was amazing as he picked me up from downtown and drove me to the top of the mountain. He suggested linking Tunnel Trail to Inspiration Point and Jesusito Trail. The ride was exactly what I was looking for and had it all; steep, rocky, and technical with beautiful views down Tunnel, a lung-​bursting climb up to Inspiration Point, followed by fast flowing single track down Jesusito. Within minutes of finishing the ride Mitch picked me up and brought me back to my car downtown. I’ve rented good mountain bikes from several shops, and what sets SB Fitness Tours apart from the rest is their amazing customer service coupled with their quality gear and decent prices. I would definitely recommend them to anybody looking for something exciting to do while in Santa Barbara.

SB Fitness Tours has opened the door to numerous outdoor exercising opportunities that I’ve always wanted to try, but either didn’t have the equipment to do so or the knowledge to do on my own. I’m always complaining to my wife that I’m tired of going to the gym and doing the same monotonous routines every day so she signed me up for a mountain biking session with SB Fitness Tours about 9 months ago. Since then, I have used them for mountain biking on numerous occasions, kayaking, stand up paddle boarding, trail running, resistance training and am soon to experience his road biking (as my wife got me a gift certificate for the holidays from them).
It’s not only the fact that I got to try out some top of the line equipment to see how I liked it prior to investing in my own gear (which I ultimately did with the help from the owner of SB Fitness Tours — Mitch Hawkins) but also the fact that while I’m experiencing something new I have a coach right there beside me teaching me the proper techniques and talking to me about nutrition and the various muscle groups that we’re utilizing while working out. The trainers make the whole experience fun and they know how to push you when you are ready for that next level. I’ve climbed up some pretty amazing biking trails that I didn’t think I was capable of doing and when I got to the top of the runs, the sites and subsequent downhill rides were well worth the sweat it took to get to the top.
SB Fitness Tours is definitely on the top of my list for outdoor adventures and training in the beautiful surroundings that Santa Barbara has to offer. Can’t wait for my next session with the team. Keep up the good work guys!

SB Fitness Tours was incredible! My sister and I took out stand-​up paddle boards yesterday and we were a little nervous. The guide, Mitch, was so friendly and helpful! He carried the heavy boards for us, and told us just what to expect and how to do it. I felt like a pro by the end of it. I will definitely go out again with SB Fitness Tours!

A friend drove down from the Bay Area and I wanted to do something different with her. I suggested learning to stand up paddle board and she was game.
We met Mitch early in the morning and the water was like glass. Very easy to learn and fun to do. By the end of our time out on the water the wind had picked up and we were surfing the little waves out by the sand spit… or, we were trying to at least. It was a blast regardless if I actually caught a wave or not.
Mitch was instrumental in making this experience an enjoyable one. He has a way of teaching you how to do something without making you feel dumb for not noticing the obvious. (Thanks for that, Mitch.)
I truly wish him the best with his business and hope it works out well for him. If you have been curious about learning to stand up paddle board, I highly recommend SB Fitness Tours!

What an awesome day! My friend and I headed up to SB from Malibu and ran into some traffic. Mitch was super accommodating and made it seem like no big deal even though we kept him waiting for almost 40 min. We still spend 2 awesome hours out on the paddle boards, and even on a windy day Mitch found some cool spots for us to try out and made us very adventuresome! He made us feel super comfortable and I would definitely refer Mitch and SB Fitness tours to anyone!

Mitch from SB fitness tours is a great instructor with incredible equipment. If you’re someone looking for an alternative to the gym and loves the outdoors, I highly recommend his tours.
On a group tour he had tons of high quality equipment and was a perfect instructor with neat ideas if you’re interested in paddle boarding or kayaking.
Would love to get back on that board and try some headstands or yoga. Great friendly vibe for people of all abilities and ages.
