I've had a mixed experience with Chuze Fitness. The gym itself is really nice--there's a great…read morevariety of machines, plenty of open space, and overall it's a good environment to work out in. 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.

Chyna is amazing and a crucial part of my routine to keep my mental health in a good place. Chyna…read moreis exceptional at meeting you where ever you may be at in your health journey. 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

The gym: ECB is in a good location. It's accessible just off of Bradley and plainly put it's hassle…read morefree. Walking in you have ample space to place your gym bags and what-have-you's in the shelves. You walk into the sprawling gym and it's sort of a graduation feeling. This is the real deal. You come in here for results. You come in here to change your life. You come in here and leave it all on the gym floor. The workout: Since Coach Randy bought the gym he's been teaching 100% of the classes. He's recently (fall 2018) hired on some new staff that's just as ample. The workouts are simple yet totally thrill you. +Quick warm up, sometimes this includes a run, some stretching using props he has at the gym. Keeping in mind all of this adding to your own personal tool box. As a girl who loves zen and yoga, Randy's taught me a thing or two about stretching and showed me many new things. I do my best to come in every day with a beginners mind. +strength: barbells with the weights, dumbbells and kettle bells. Likely one will be used for the strength. +WOD: kicks your behind. It's awesome. High intensity cardio mixed with a bit of weight. Sometimes the playlist needs tweaking but I'm working on da coach. The people: The community is a wonderful group of people that have helped me in more then just through my running. if the community here sees a new face we make sure to be warm and give a shout-out during a workout. Sh** can get hard and I've made numerous new friends by bonding when I thought I was gonna die. The staff: I only know Wes and Randy but both have incredible vast knowledge of the workout world and they're both walking proof of it. You take one look at them and know you want to learn from someone who has made it. The results: Randy has trained me personally, and I've been in what seems like hundreds of hours of his classes. I've been at the gym for 3 or so months and barely recognize my body. I am astonished at what I've been able to accomplish, and as a beginner at that. Not just my body has changed, I've built myself into a healthier version of me, made incredible friendships, healed, and fell apart in this gym. Needless to say if you're into change this is the place to do it in. You're safe here. Come join us.

Showers in the bathroom and soap is included. What I like is that there's a plan for those who want a big barbell gym but don't need the training, it comes at a lower cost then the regular membership. If ur looking for a quality weightlifting gym, this is the best in all of east county!

I started on Zepbound in December 2024 and a year later had achieved some success with it, having…read morelost 30 pounds. However, it seemed I was on a plateau when I learned about Kari's GLP-1 Strong program. While prescribed by my PCP, I had always felt there wasn't much structure other than take this every week and watch the pounds melt away. While this is all good, I wanted a plan to progress more quickly and to utilize once off the medication. I cannot say enough good things about this 12-week program and Kari's knowledge on fitness and nutrition. Kari customizes her plans for each individual and focuses on accountability, consistency, and behaviors to focus on. I am an additional 12 pounds down and have gained the strength and confidence to finish my journey, including after stopping the jab. I will most likely sign up again during this transition.

I started working with Kari in December 2022, originally to lose weight for my wedding. I was…read morefeeling stuck, out of shape, and unsure how to actually get results without burning out. Spoiler alert: this wasn't just a wedding prep plan, it turned into a total lifestyle shift. The first year wasn't perfect (life happens...hello, wine nights and takeout!), but Kari never judged or gave up on me. Instead, she helped me reset, get real about my goals, and build habits that actually worked. By my wedding in June 2024, I was down 40 lbs and 10% body fat and I felt strong, confident, and truly proud of how I looked and felt walking down the aisle. Since then, we've shifted to strength, mindset, and maintenance and let me tell you, that's been just as empowering. I've learned how to stay consistent, lift heavier, eat more without guilt, and care about so much more than just the scale. Working with Kari isn't just about macros and workouts (though those are dialed in); it's about learning how to show up for yourself even when life gets messy. I cannot recommend her enough if you're ready for change that actually lasts.

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!

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!!! Ive lost 12lbs so far and been going for a while now and each time is a different mixed set of HIIT WORKOUTS!! Can't be more pleased with Dennis!!!

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!

We have been with Kirk for a year and a half now, and I couldn't recommend anyone else more highly…read more Within 2 months, I could do a paleo squat and stand back up without pain, where I hadn't been able to do that for almost ten years because of knee pain. Within 3 months my husband had lost 40 pounds - safely and healthily - without even having weight loss as a goal. One of the biggest indicators of Kirk's passion for helping people is how much time he and money he spends keeping up with new research and developments in medicine, nutrition, and fitness. He is always attending training conferences (functional stretching, Titleist Performance Institute, TRX, etc.) and implementing new ideas/approaches to help us clean up our form in an exercise or get more strength, stability, or mobility in a certain plane of motion. While he doesn't rely on fancy equipment to do the training for him, the equipment he buys is top quality and safe. Yes, he's not cheap. But I don't want to train with someone who just wants to fill a room and couldn't care less whether we showed up. His rates reflect the quality of his coaching, and that reflects in our health.
