    Exactly what I needed postpartum! Maya is the best trainer I have ever had and has helped me already lose so much of my baby weight. She also allows me to bring my baby in, which is super helpful and she watches her if she gets fussy to ensure I get a good workout in. In addition, the gym is absolutely beautiful and always such a joy to be in the vibes are always good and the energy is always upbeat. Truly a staple in RSD!!!

    Maya has been an amazing trainer! You can tell she has experience as being a trainer, and she provided a detailed diet plan. I had to cancel my membership due to financial reasons and she has been so sweet and understanding! I will be coming back in the future when I am financially stable

    I started with Maya in December and have loved everyday that I've been at Haven Fit. It's a super inviting and inclusive environment/community. Even though I haven't been working out there for a long time, I already feel so much stronger and super motivated to exercise! Maya provides meal plans that give a great guide throughout the process and critical tips when lifting that help at Haven and where ever else you exercise. As a college student, it can be hard to prioritize health and fitness but Haven has been a great outlet for me to do so.

    A work in progress but we will get there

    Looking for a true 24/7 gym?! Then anytime fitness is the place to be!…read more I absolutely love this place. Before coming here, I was used to the big Costco sized gyms. Here, I feel valued, seen and not embarrassed. It is the least intimidating gym I have been too. Best part? It's small, intimate and you can come here anytime. Most of the machines will be available to you, and they offer so many services. Jason earnest is my trainer, and he is fantastic! I feel so excited I come in every time to work on my goals. All the staff here is amazing, which makes me feel like welcomed here anytime. Once you gain a membership, you can be sure there are other branches you can go to, to work on your fitness goals! Shout out to Holli, the best manager! Definitely see her and get your goals started! Thanks anytime fitness in Rancho San Diego!!

    My healing journey began in October 2025. This location was…read morereferred to us by a fellow member of this Y & my friend. Although we live in Paradise Hills and there are other locations near us- McGrath is where I found myself 5xs/ week- when they first opened at 6am. I came solely for the indoor heated pool. During this time, I was out on a work injury for 5 months & wasn't sure how much longer I'd be on a No Work Status. Between my occupational health doctor & my podiatrist- we were waiting to see if my foot would be in a cast. By the time I found out- NO cast was needed- my podiatrist recommended either strength training or swimming. The gals who did our application intake, honored my husband's First Responder credentials & that helped waive his application fee! Since we notated my friend referring us to McGrath- she also got a credit to her monthly fee- the following month. I was utilizing the heated pool for walking and the foam resistance weights. I have gotten to know & chat with the morning indoor lifeguards. And they helped make the morning session go fast. (Along with the music playing). Thank you Adam, Cameron, Will, Drew, Colton, Tati, Hannah, Annika & Audriana (hope I spelled your names right!). I have especially made a friend with an older fella, Randy. And he was especially the highlight of my morning. We would share our walking lane and time went by so fast. Along with the facility times changing- from 6am/ 5:30am/ 5am.... Staff doesn't miss a beat. There was a time during winter 2025- the only pool (outdoor) at Santee was getting maintenance. It was out for more than a month. And there was an influx of additional members at McGrath for quite some time. I felt the influx seemed like a burden to a few regulars- but, for me- I had the opportunity to meet more members by name. It may seem like a nuisance if one's daily routine is disrupted for a bit, but just remember- it's temporary. I was taken aback, when some grown adults refused to share their pool lanes. But, it was great to see lifeguards correct this behavior. Fast forward to Summer 2026- I booked a one hour massage and am looking forward to my first session.

    It is an amazing place Clean spacious friendly…read more Outstanding equipment Beautiful pools Great for kids Plenty parking Nice surroundings Anyone with a complaint will not be happy anywhere

I was looking for a gym that was inclusive and would push me to get back in shape. Mary is the absolute best. She is so positive and motivating. All the girls that workout there are so nice.

I've…read morebeen working through several debilitating illnesses and a big surgery the past few years, had spent months bed-bound, and reached out to MK Fitness as soon as I was walking without a cane. I started with 2 individual sessions, just Mary and I, so she could get an idea of my abilities, range of motion, etc. I was able to focus without feeling self conscious in front of strangers, and we came up with a plan that worked for both of us. Mary is just amazing!!! Fun, energetic, non-judgmental, patient, and truly inspiring. She leads like CEO and I've found myself more dedicated to working out than ever before in my life. Her other trainees are the nicest group of women I've ever encountered, and everyone is always willing to help a newbie out. Her equipment is clean, state-of the-art, and plentiful. She maps out the stations for circuit training, has lots of hand weights to choose from, and even sells some gorgeous fitness attire and accessories. The studio is gorgeous and smells soooooo good! I'm very grateful to have found this community.

I've always been nervous starting something new -- that feeling of being the only one who doesn't know what they're doing -- but our instructor, Sahar, completely put that to rest from the moment I walked in. The 50-minute reformer class was challenging but totally manageable for a beginner and for somehow who isn't done any exercise in over 5 years. She was friendly, patient, and genuinely funny, keeping the whole class talking and laughing -- which of course made the time fly by. She made sure everyone felt included, and I never felt out of place or behind. I injured my shoulder earlier this year and when she saw me struggling she came and helped me modify what we were doing so that I could do it safely. The studio itself is clean, easy to find, and parking is a breeze. They have grippy socks you can buy there if you don't have any, that's what I did my first class. I was a sore for a few days but in the best way possible, and I liked it so much I've already gone back a couple times. My only wish is that she had more morning class options throughout the week. If you've been on the fence about trying Pilates, go for it. You're in great hands, especially if you schedule a class with Sahar.

    Andrew is hands-down the best Pilates teacher in San Diego!!!…read more I've been training with Andrew for seven months now, and it's honestly one of the best things I've ever done for myself. From day one, he's made me feel supported, seen, and capable of so much more than I thought possible. I'll ask him to show me how to do a move and somehow ~ just like that ~ he breaks it down so clearly that I actually get it. He's a gifted teacher, a natural coach, and one of the most uplifting humans you'll ever meet. If you're even thinking about starting Pilates, this is your sign: go with Andrew. And yes, this goes for both women and men (hello, even pro athletes are doing Pilates now ~ and Andrew's that guy). He doesn't just lead a class ~ he tunes into the room, gives the most intuitive hands-on adjustments, and makes these tiny, perfect tweaks that completely transform your practice. It's wild how much of a difference it makes. And the vibe? So good. You feel like the only person in the room when he's working with you. There's a gentleness to his approach, but he still pushes you in the best way ~ kindly, consistently, and with that quiet confidence that makes you believe in yourself too. When I started in January 2025, I was a total mess ~ no core, no strength, no flexibility, and a knee injury that made kneeling impossible. Now? I'm doing things with my body I never imagined ~ including kneeling on both knees. And I'm just getting started. Andrew has me feeling strong, more tuned in, and connected to my body in a way I haven't felt in years. I can't wait to see what kind of magic he works on me by next summer. Truly, Andrew is the kind of trainer who changes everything. Check out his schedule on Instagram: @19mostdope You'll be so glad you did.

I was frustrated, still dealing with pain, weakness, and limited mobility, and felt like I wasn't getting the attention or guidance I needed for real recovery. So I reached out to Ryan and within one session, I felt a tremendous difference in my shoulder mobility, pain and strength. He took the time to actually understand my injury, explain the recovery process, and gave me workouts and movements that helped strengthen my shoulder safely and effectively. It's been a week and my shoulder feels so good I am able to move shoulder almost at full range! I have known Ryan for almost about 20 years. The first time I had gone to Ryan I had gone to him about knee pain. I used to wear knee braces because my knees would lock and he helped me strengthen my legs so that I no longer use knee braces and after training with him I have never used knee braces again he showed me the fundamentals of working out and great form and ever since my form is great and it helped me shaped my athletic abilities. I highly recommend Ryan to anyone recovering from an injury, from shoulder to knee issue, someone looking to perform better in their athletic sports or simple as weight loss journey. Ryan's knowledgeable and patient approach made a huge difference in my recovery journey.
