This is a real, hardcore training facility built for people who actually want to put in serious work. It is available 24 hours a day, 365 days a year for members. No holiday closures, no weird early Sunday shut-off times. If you want to train at 2:00 AM on Christmas Day, your membership gets you through the door. Come in, try it out, and judge for yourself. Don't just rely on this review or any other review. read more

Metroflex Miramar - Canceled my membership, not working out in a place of hate. - Gyms Near Me - San Diego, California

Lack of maintenance for their equipment and owner opinion has left me looking elsewhere

Place is Schutzstaffel friendly. Can't believe I'm seeing this in non east county SD. It's a shame because the equipment is great. Stay in your own yard, go to Riverside or Santee read more

This Gym is owned by a Nazi who likes to wear his SS shirt. Don't ever give that POS business.

Great gym! The owner is a really great guy, very down to earth. Have gone here for years its one of the best gyms in the area

Disgusting white nationalist ownership. This is not representative of us in San Diego or in America. DO NOT SUPPORT THIS BUSINESS!

BEST GYM IN TOWN, HANDS DOWN! Very clean and organized! Everything you would need and more!

Great gym, great atmosphere, everything you want in a gym and then some. Clean, organized and a bunch of those who come with a plan looking to achieve something great. read more

Probably one of the cleanest gyms I have ever been to. It's a small gym but contains all the equipment and machines you really need to get a full workout. The worker at the front desk was very nice. The patrons who come here are very serious and inspiring to be around. I also heard the gym is open 24 hours. For the price I think it's worth it. read more

If you don't like corporate gyms (24 hour fitness, planet fitness, crunch, ect.) this gym is for you. Definitely a place if you want to take your fitness/training seriously. read more

My friend and I looking for a gym membership was trying to decide between here, LA fitness, and 24. We saw in the Q&A that if you do a day pass, it can go toward your membership, so we decided to try it out. When we got there (we're both girls btw), we felt super intimidated by the gym bro vibe it gave off and the heavy metal music they blast. However, we did enjoy how clean and nice the equipment was and how there was plenty of stations for squatting, benching, and deadlifting. When I came back to sign up, the guy informed me that the day pass only goes toward the membership the day of. I was pretty surprised and unamused and told him I didn't know, but he was adamant that they definitely informed us. I was taken aback from his unfriendly tone and was skeptical, so I ended up messaging my friend later on and she confirmed they didn't mention that specific condition to us. I feel pretty mislead and frustrated to have $20 go down the drain. They definitely should've mentioned it *and* specified that in their answer to the question on Yelp :( I'm still going to go because it's a nice gym overall, but that definitely left a bad taste in my mouth. read more

Great gym. They just need to update the chest and back machines its not a planet fitness

Knowing first-hand the history of the Metroflex "name/brand," I knew this place was going to be solid for all and every types of training. The equipment is new, there's actual Olympic/metric plates, and a super chill owner who's all about helping out and making this the best experience. Most definitely a long-term member. read more

Putting 5 stars does not do justice to how great this gym is. The equipment is widely available to people who have just started their journey in fitness and to those who have been into fitness . The staff members are kind and dedicated to keep the gym clean and organized. The gym owners' passion for strength training empowers many to continue their journey in their own fitness goals. This seems to be a safe space for many and has created a community that is passionate about fitness. It has been a safe haven for my family and I. I am grateful to be a member of this gym and would recommend this gym to anyone. Thank you, Metroflex and staff for everything. read more

This gym is amazing! Everything you can think of that's wrong with other gyms this gym is the complete opposite. Abundance of equipment, EXTREMELY clean, smells amazing even through the mask, great music, and super friendly owner and his star employee, Tiana. This gym is non intimidating vibe. Anyone will fit right in. :) read more

Metroflex Miramar - Machine area. Plenty of squat racks and free weight options. - Gyms Near Me - San Diego, California

This gym is great, whether youre powerlifting or bodybuilding you should have all the machines you need. A lot of the people get to know eachother as it is a smaller gym compared to a big commerical gym, so it is a really friendly enviornment. Mainly a powerlifting heavy population though, very loud music playing, whole gym screams on a PR attempt sort of vibe. it is VERY FUCKING AWESOME. EVERY. SINGLE. TIME. Stuff like that really gets you pumped up to be in an enviornment that good. Never felt judged here at all, all friendly experiences, gym is clean. All the weights/machines are pretty much new. Lets say youre going to LA fitness right... opened hella long ago. Ive been there, never seen any spray bottles and towels up there. so youre practically sitting in 10 year old sweat absorbed benches. Where as here, im pretty sure this spot opened in like 2021 during covid, with all new equipment, spraybottles and towels all hung up around the gym that get replaced all the time.. Its not perfect trust,, I say a good like 8/10 people are cleaning their machines/benches though.. But that is WAY better than nothing and you can go to the gym knowing its being taken care of. Busy hours can get a little packed, but not too much of a problem. I'd say it gets really busy around 4pm-9pm. Not much people on wednesdays/sundays if you want to build a schedule around those days. Most of the complaints I see are about having unpleasant experiences with Bub(The owner), I myself have had pleasant experiences with him hes a very nice guy in fact. I believe the people who complained about him are just MAJOR snowflakes and needa toughen up or something lol.. read more

Been here for a year, now they're 24 hours. I'm convinced Bubs runs the best hardcore gym in San Diego. Out of the 10+ gyms I've been to in SD this is the best one. Price is unbeatable for the equipment he has. No other gym in San Diego has calibrated plates, all rogue equipment, and costs less than 50 a month. All the staff are good people. Not only that but the members here are really the icing on the cake. Really dope people here, this is what a real gym should be like. read more

Glad to see Im not the only one because from my experience, the Gym owner's just rude and is always looking for an excuse to feel bigger than people. He's big on cleaning up after yourself (100% respectable), but he'll also try to ease his little-man syndrome by coming after you even if you're leaving a piece of equipment for someone else. It seems like he just looks for a reason to be rude, and unfortunately that's not how I train. Other than that, the people working out there are respectful towards each other. The equipment is limited in the sense that it covers different styles of training, but works if you don't mind mixing it up. If you need further convincing of his attitude, just read his comments here. read more

Solid powerlifting-oriented gym that also functions as a sweat lodge. Or sweat lodge that also functions as a gym.. You're gonna lose a few pounds a workout. Powerlifters focus on squats, bench press, and deadlift. To that end this gym has 4 fixed racks, three classic bench press + peg mounts, competition bench press, a deadlift platform area with dual jack bar (to swap plates quickly), as well as extensive assortment of dumbbells up to 200lbs. There are two leg ex and two leg curl machines. One leg press, one hack squat, two glute-ham developers, a smith machine, hamstring isolation machine. There's a also a fledging collection of strongman implements: sled, log, pylo balls, tubular farmer carry barbels. Single kettlebell pairs from 8kg up to 24kg. Biggest issue / thing to be aware of is the complete lack of air flow and ventilation. It's a problem. You ARE going to sweat through EVERYTHING you are wearing! There's a big slat door that you can see from the pictures. When open, it provides zero airflow as there are maybe two baby fans installed in the gym. The gym has a powerful AC unit installed in the gym (look up when you're inside) but never runs it. Given the San Diego heat and humidity, warning you right now, bring two towels and a change of clothes. Plentiful parking, cheap rates, somewhat easy to drive by the entrance to the plaza where this gym is located. read more

I wouldn't be where I am today mentally and physically if it wasn't for this place. It's a great gym and only $45 a month!

Ton of great weight equipment in a smaller space. Hidden in a strip mall, but full of all the goodies. Tires to flip, a yoke, all the free weights, and a rope to climb. Also concept rower, bike and assault runner. But the focus at the gym is not cardio its moving to the squat rack or the deadlift platform and hitting a personal best. read more

To the owner-remove my last name from your response. That's a breach of privacy. I'll be contacting yelp to complain that you gave my personally identifiable information out. I also looked at your responses to other reviews and am shocked by your rudeness to everyone. I'm so very glad I cancelled my membership asap. read more

Plenty of equipment and the gym is well maintained. I had to leave because there were way too many douchebags. Dudes walking around with imaginary lat syndrome, shirtless, unnecessary grunting. Oh but don't worry - iTs a hArdcOre tRainIng fAciLity The first day i walk in the owner is like "nO toWel nO enTry". Which is probably a tactic to pressure you to buy their cheap towels on the spot or to get you to clean up (even though there are paper towel dispensers and sanitizer bottles placed around the gym). There were times where i was working out and the owner and his partner (only employees) would just walk out and drive off somewhere. So if anything bad where to happen in the gym then there would be no supervision. Its just a bad vibe all around. All of this for an overpriced membership. No thanks read more

As mentioned in the previous bad comments here. I'd agree 100% the Guy/Owner "BuBBY" is pretty freaking rude. Was rude to my friends I simply passed along the feedback I was given from them as they left the facility without saying anything. I felt as the one who referred them to the place that It was place to give in person critism, as I believe that is the best kind of feedback to give to ownership. In my numerous and valid attempts to give feedback I was talked over every single time. I was met with Arrogance, a very defensive/Sarcastic tone, smiling and smirking as to tell me that he could careless about my concerns. BuBbby then told me he's not into riping people off but that is exactly what he did to my friend Brock 1 of 3 friends I referred to this gym. He wasn't very clear about the membership and how the fees are applied moving forward. He was not interested in any kind of feedback and "revoked" (see the attached) my membership because he didn't want to hear the truth and that's ok. I pass 4 other elite training gyms on the way to Metroflex and never have I ever been treated so poorly by gym ownership. This is also coming from an ownership pov as I ran and operated a gym and had good and bad so I can speak from both sides that this gym is headed for the pits. The girl at the front desk was super nice and very sweet to my 6 year old. I cant say 1 single bad thing about her, maybe he can learn from her if they wish to excel. read more

I was interested in signing up and sat down on the sofa in there; they asked if they could help I said just give me a minute and they said if I didn't want anything I had to leave. I feel they should have approached me in a much nicer way, they were not friendly at all. the Female on the desk was friendly not the male. read more

Love this gym! Love that it is 24 hours! Good equipment and GREAT vibe! $40 for my membership which is a good price for the quality of the gym. Love that it's powerlifer friendly but not a dump. Most powerlifting gyms with calibrated plates and good equipment is gross and crusty. This gym has all the equipment you would need and it's not a rusty sweat box garage. It's the perfect gym! Also bodybuilder friendly too! Look no further!! read more

I don't care what anyone says- this is an amazing gym, it's well kept, has great equipment, and immaculate vibes. I've been training here for a year now, and definitely won't be leaving. I've been powerlifting for about 3 years and have had a few different memberships and you definitely can't beat the price at Metroflex Miramar. I love the owners, Bub and Tiana, they make the place what it is. Never once have I felt intimidated going here, actually, they have some of the most encouraging gym members. I'd recommend anyone here!! read more

I love this gym. Signed up after 24 hour fitness reduced its hours. Amazing gym with great owners. Very welcoming. Fantastic equipment and super clean. read more

Top notch facility with lots of bars, benches, and four squat racks. You want KG plates? They have plenty of those. Is math hard for you? They have lots of lb plates, too. Clean and well taken care of. Legit the cleanest restrooms of any gym I've been in. Very much a lifting gym. Only a handful of cardio equipment. They don't show ESPN or Housewives of wherever on the TVs. They show videos about strongmen and bodybuilders. It's an experience. Yet no one judges you if you can barely press a 45 lb bar. Do your own thing. I try to avoid coming between 4-7 PM on the weekdays-too busy. Otherwise I rarely have a problem getting to use the equipment I want. My only complaint is that it's not 24/7, to better accommodate my odd work schedule. read more

Absolutely the best gym in San Diego! This gym has everything you need from functional fitness, powerlifting or bodybuilding. The staff is extremely dedicated and run a great gym. The gym is clean with plenty of equipment to use. No sales gimmicks, very affordable especially for what they offer. Highly recommended. Only left due to a move and I started missing the gym the day I had to cancel. read more

This gym will always have a special place in my heart. This is hands down one of the best gyms I have ever been to and the atmosphere is even better. The staff, Bud and Tiana, are amazing and very welcoming. The location is great, parking is no hassle, equipment is outstanding and very clean. Sweat towels are mandatory and make sure to re-rack your weights after use. read more

I love this gym! The bars are all Rogue Ohio power bars or deadlift bars, with some specialty bars. You never have to wait long for machines, and there is an abundance of squat racks and 4 deadlift platforms. There are kilo plates at the squat, bench and deadlift areas for anyone who wants to use them on their lifts. The gym is clean and everyone wipes down their equipment. The environment is great. Everyone minds their own business and stays out of each others way. Great gym! read more

This is a real gym. I'm visiting from Las Vegas and had a killer chest day. Highly recommend and the owner is cool.

Top-tier equipment, very clean, and friendly staff. An incredible lifting environment for a variety of styles, whether it is bodybuilding, powerlifting, etc. They also have a water bottle refill station which is very convenient. read more

As a experienced gym / health club user and operator , I find this gym a great place to workout . Although on the small side it has a well thought out equipment selection and layout . Lots of free weights, squat racks , benches and a perfect selection of machines both selectorized and plate loaded. It also has area dedicated to deadlifting and Olympic lifts as well as strongman equipment. The equipment is mix of Rogue and Life Fitness Hammer Strength. Dividing the gym is a good size area for walking lunges , farmer carries, sled pushing , abs and stretching. Cardio is limited but appropriate for clientele of the gym with upright bikes, rower, self powered treadmills and two stair climbers. The is proves that a hardcore fitness facility can be "core" and Super clean and organized. The small locker is clean as a Sharp Hospital ! Small lockers are available for keys and sweatshirt. Their is one shower. The owner seems to always be there and is passionate about cleanliness and the gym rules are adhered to. COVID 19 protection procedures are members and staff must wear masks at all times and a digital thermometer reads your temperature as you check in. A big roll up door let's the fresh air breeze through. Members are all about wiping down equipment after use. You get a greeting coming and going and the staff uses you name ! There is good mix or genders and is home to the super serious and newbies alike. No judgments in this gym.In general everyone is friendly and courteous. Plenty of easy parking. read more

My boyfriend and I are gym rats. Neither one of us has ever submitted a complaint to any business...ever. All we want is a well equipped gym with good vibes, that's it. We've trained at The Gym, FIT athletic, a bunch of 24's, smaller private gyms, even LA Fitness' and we generally prefer the smaller more "hardcore" gym environments. With COVID we don't have many options and we understand that fully. We REALLY wanted to like this gym and we were fully ready to buy memberships as long as we liked it. (We're currently paying over $100 for our gym memberships at a private gym but are missing a few key pieces of equipment, which is why we were hoping to join here. We don't mind paying for the right spot.) Immediately upon walking in, we spoke to a guy at the front desk (I believe he was the owner) and he was *to be frank*, a douchebag. He was rude to us and several members as they walked in and had a condescending demeanor and attitude. The girl at the front desk was also very unfriendly and literally walked away after handing my boyfriend a waver. What if we had a question? Guess that didn't matter! We didn't feel welcomed at all (we weren't looking for a warm and fuzzy welcome. Truly, if he hadn't said anything at all we would have signed up for a membership.) We were immediately put off by our first 5 minutes in the facility and before we even STARTED training decided we didn't want to give him our business. (I believe the memberships here are $35 a month, and we honestly would rather keep paying $100+ somewhere else than train here after this experience.) I'm rating two stars since the equipment is pretty damn great, just wish the people there were at a MINIMUM decent. read more
