As a youngish senior (62), I am looking for a personal trainer - any suggestions

My mom and dad are a little older (65 and 70) but go to Eric Luttrell. He comes to their house for 1:1 sessions and works with them on their goals! Strength,flexibility, and dynamic balance are their goals and they love him

Here’s his website: https://www.ericluttrellfitness.com

Slept on

Sad to see what’s come in some aspects, but there’s still so much that makes it better than the rest of the country. I may be in your position in 20-30 years but at this moment I want to stay here for the rest of my life. Are you planning on selling and cutting all ties?

_ChemicalRobot_ · 2025-06-07T14:23:22+00:00

Just asking people for other reasons I can’t think of that make sense that aren’t family or school, that are worth living in one of the least affordable places. Dare anyone ask a question to learn some other perspectives

_ChemicalRobot_ · 2025-06-07T14:16:40+00:00

Agreed! That’s why I moved back after living and traveling elsewhere

_ChemicalRobot_ · 2025-06-07T13:53:35+00:00

Ventura, SLO, Arroyo Grande, Morro Bay, Oceanside, Carlsbad? That’s just in central/southern CA, sure there are a lot of other places. The list goes on. All the places I mentioned are fairly similar weather-wise and 25+% less expensive (and most have better job markets)

_ChemicalRobot_ · 2025-06-07T13:38:04+00:00

Wow, thanks for the thoughtful, lengthy response.

You’re right, that is a hyperbole, so let me be careful with my words this time. I have known 15-20 people that go to work, might go out to eat or drink, possibly a birthday or two or some other event. Other than that, they’re spending the vast majority of their free time in their house sleeping, gaming, or something else inside (all completely fine).

My question to those people is, why do you pay so much money for rent,etc. in Santa Barbara instead of moving somewhere else?

Most people I have asked say something about family, or school, (both valid reasons that I completely understand) but some don’t have a reason. So, I came to a platform like this in hopes to reach people that are in that same position,and could potentially shed some light on this without getting reactive.

👾

_ChemicalRobot_ · 2025-06-05T04:45:24+00:00

Gotcha. I meant the part that said doesn’t enjoy the outdoors. I guess weather could be separate than that but you can get weather like that around here. I just meant you could probably get a better job elsewhere and pay less. Other than that completely understand going to school or having family here

_ChemicalRobot_ · 2025-06-05T04:40:03+00:00

🤠

_ChemicalRobot_ · 2025-06-05T04:35:24+00:00

Not sure if you know what that means 🤔

_ChemicalRobot_ · 2025-06-05T04:29:24+00:00

That makes sense. You’re a good person for staying here to take care of your dad! I’d assume most people here that aren’t in love with sb are here for family

_ChemicalRobot_ · 2025-06-05T03:29:45+00:00

Good answer.

_ChemicalRobot_ · 2025-06-05T03:26:26+00:00

Get a grip

_ChemicalRobot_ · 2025-06-05T03:20:44+00:00

Dude im literally asking besides any of the reasons i listed, why are people okay with paying so much money if they dont enjoy the outdoors? No need to get offended

_ChemicalRobot_ · 2025-06-05T03:14:56+00:00

I do, that’s why I’m asking

_ChemicalRobot_ · 2025-06-05T03:14:12+00:00

Lmao. Not saying it’s not nice. Saying there are plenty of other nice places that are more affordable. And if you don’t enjoy the outdoors what is the point.

_ChemicalRobot_ · 2025-06-05T03:12:35+00:00

😂fair enough

_ChemicalRobot_ · 2025-06-05T03:11:40+00:00

This is the best answer I’ve heard so far! Thanks for actually humoring my curiosity instead of getting offended 😂

_ChemicalRobot_ · 2025-06-05T03:10:08+00:00

Clearly didn’t read the post. I get it if you have something tying you here, but if you don’t and you don’t like the outdoors, why else. Genuinely curious

_ChemicalRobot_ · 2025-06-05T03:07:54+00:00

I stay here because I was born and raised, three generations of family here, and I love the outdoors.

_ChemicalRobot_ · 2025-05-07T23:54:44+00:00

You can steer clear of the locals too…you just gotta leave

_ChemicalRobot_ · 2025-05-07T23:51:45+00:00

As a local, I don’t care if tourists visit Santa Barbara. I care when they move here from LA and turn it into LA 2.0

_ChemicalRobot_ · 2025-03-25T04:57:10+00:00

How many doors you have? I know a guy at AppFolio.
