Burke is one of my favorite trainers. He has helped me get in shape and get stronger. I had pretty…read morebad muscle spasms in my back when I started going to Burke some months ago and he listened to my concerns and we slowly got my strength up in my glutes, abs, legs, and shoulders to help with back relief. I used to get accupuncture done every other week for my back spasms and I still get a massage once a month, but I really believe that strengthening my core with Burke has helped my back a lot! Working out with him has helped me not only gain strength but also gain confidence that I have less chance of re-injury in the future. Burke makes you feel very comfortable and is super accommodating to different types of clients. He sends you an email after every exercise to let you know what exercises you did. He works out of a training gym and every person there is with a trainer. There are some people there that are in great shape but also alot of people in average to below average shape that workout there. I've never felt uncomfortable in the gym, all the trainers there are really nice!

He's still one of the few affordable trainers in SD and i was able to keep up with sessions on a social worker's salary haha. Every session was unique to whatever I wanted to focus on that day and he always sent the workouts to me after so I could do them on my own. Even though I wasn't able to continue our sessions, he still checks in with me to see how I am, which I appreciate!! Sending my love to you and the family, Burke!

I was a member of the gym for over a year and enjoyed the workouts, as well as the flexibility to…read morefollow their planned workouts without needing guidance. However, I ultimately canceled my membership due to the gym's perceived affiliation with specific ideologies that I found to be at odds with my personal values. ( white supremacy Clantee ) Notably, following Charlie Kirk's passing, several members and coaches expressed sadness at being unable to attend or the funeral, citing scheduling conflicts. This further solidified my decision to end my membership, as I did not wish to support an organization whose values diverged from my own and did not align with the diverse and inclusive environment I sought, particularly given the substantial monthly fee of $200

The coaches are motivating, and they have built an awesome, motivating, safe, and welcoming culture. The classes are forever changing, targeting all the different parts of your body.

Give it a try you will not regret it! One of my favorite things to Witness is to watch the transformation in peoples bodies

However, I was really disappointed with the customer service. I originally paid the yearly fee along with my monthly membership, but after my credit card was hacked and I had to get a new one, they made me pay the annual fee all over again. Even though my account showed I was already an existing member, they wouldn't let me continue unless I paid it again. That situation was really frustrating and honestly felt unfair. I enjoy the gym itself, but the way that was handled definitely left a bad impression.

I have had to take a week (sometimes weeks) off and always feel a little sheepish about "re-starting" but Chyna is always so encouraging and gives you the confidence to be the healthiest/fittest YOU you want to be. There is no one better at reading your mood the moment you walk through the door and cultivating the most perfect work out to help get the nervous jitters out, help you fight a punching bag to get your anger out, or just move your body to help you fight whatever demons are plaguing you. Not only is Chyna a fantastic trainer but she is also a phenomenal person. She is a cancer survivor and cares so much about all her clients and I have built such a community in her gym. Thank you Chyna for everything and if you are looking for your perfect/welcoming/non-judgemental gym place, you can stop searching: It's at GI Joe's in Santee. Could not recommend this place MOREEEE

NXPT took over from Dropzone in July, and the transition has been seamless! The workouts are…read moreconsistently challenging, with a great mix of traditional strength training, cardio, plyometrics, and more. Each class is 45 minutes, typically divided into 3-4 stations, so there's always something different. The trainers here are incredible--they motivate and push you to reach your potential. They're also great at modifying exercises if you're injured, sore, or need an easier alternative. I recommend arriving about 5 minutes early to stretch and get set up. One of the best things about a membership is that you can visit all the other NXPT locations. While I haven't been to them yet, I like knowing they offer classes like spin and yoga. You sign up for any class through the NXPT app. The community is welcoming to everyone, regardless of fitness level. You'll feel right at home whether you're new to working out or an experienced athlete. They also offer fantastic deals, like 10 days for $10 (if you're new that's the best deal to start), and couple packages. As of September 2024, the Santee location has classes at 4:30 AM, 5:30 AM, 7 AM, 8 AM, 9 AM, 3 PM, 4:30 PM, and 5:30 PM. Fridays don't have the 5:30 PM class, and on Saturdays, there are two classes: 7 AM and 8 AM. Pro tip: The wifi password is 'khaleesi' (no quotes). If you're looking for a friendly, challenging fitness community, I highly recommend NXPT!

Absolutely love this Hotworx studio. I was looking for a more affordable option for hot yoga and…read morehot pilates and this one definitely nailed it. I love the 24/7 accessibility and the ability to usually have your own sauna. With that being said, I do have some recommendations or things to keep in mind: -I wish the saunas were bigger! They say that it's big enough for 3, but 2 is definitely cramped in the saunas. -The saunas are not built for tall people. I am 5'4 and lay down all the way across the sauna (facing the instructors) -The classes do not vary that much. They are supposed to change every month but I notice some do not change or if they do, the variations are not that different.

As a former athlete and lifter, getting back into a consistent workout routine has felt…read moreintimidating--until I found HOTWORX Santee. This place has made the transition so much smoother for me, both physically and mentally. What I love most is the flexibility. It's open 24 hours, which is a huge deal as a busy mom. I can come in early in the morning or late at night, depending on what my day looks like. The system they use to keep the studio secure makes me feel really safe--entry is code-based and the doors stay locked, which gives peace of mind during early morning or late night sessions. The workouts themselves are incredible. The infrared sauna element adds a detoxing benefit that I genuinely feel. When I stay consistent, I notice a big difference: less pain and inflammation, improved flexibility, better posture, more energy, and a clearer mind overall. I also love that they have a dedicated weightlifting area! They offer a variety of free weights up to 50 pounds, a TRX setup, and a cable machine that allows for a full range of exercises. Being able to combine the benefits of infrared workouts with traditional strength training in the same visit has been a game changer for me. The studio is always very clean and well maintained, and I really appreciate that it's not overcrowded. Sure, there are peak times like any gym, but it's generally easy to get in, out, and book a session without stress. The staff is also amazing--always kind, helpful, and welcoming. You can tell they care about the environment and the people coming in. If you're looking for a unique, safe, and effective workout space that works with your lifestyle, I can't recommend HOTWORX Santee enough!

At 60, I don't need to lift monstrous weights or lift giant tires!!! I scanned the web and found Dennis at Wellness Studios of Santee. He explained his group and private lessons to me. I had to try it. Dennis is a godsend, his HIIT is just what I needed and fits perfectly for my health needs. Dennis is intelligent, patient and shows all the right techniques and mix of exercises to help me build strength N endurance!!!

He is very patient with his training and explains the exercise(s) and the proper form needed to get the results you want to achieve. He is motivating, positive and encouraging. He is not a stereotypical trainer, he really cares about his clients and will push you further than you thought you could go. I do both individual and group sessions and I love the workouts and the challenges he gives me at every session. Dennis is knowledgeable about what really works for his clients and not just the latest and greatest fads and stays current with his certifications. Whether you are looking for individual or group training, you will love the sessions and the cost is extremely reasonable. Come, give a session a try!
