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.

I'm entering my 8th month of training with Andrew and this has been such a game-changer for me! I…read moream so glad I found him because there is no way I would be this far along or love Pilates as much as I do without his guidance. Andrew has an amazing way of motivating you while keeping the energy in class upbeat and fun. Every session is challenging in the best possible way and he has a true gift for fixing form so you get the most out of every single movement. His attention to detail is incredible and his encouragement keeps me pushing myself more than I ever thought I could. He truly stands out as the best Pilates trainer in San Diego. Whether you are brand new or more advanced, whether you are a boy or a girl, young or old, Andrew is your guy. If you want a trainer who will inspire you, challenge you, and make you look forward to every single workout, look no further.

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

Game changer! This gym has kept me motivated for almost two years with its consistency, where in…read morethe past I have fallen off. 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. I have not gotten bored at all, and nothing feels redundant, which is so refreshing. I highly recommend it, no matter your fitness level or age. We all start somewhere. Give it a try you will not regret it! One of my favorite things to Witness is to watch the transformation in peoples bodies

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.

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!

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!

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!

MAJOR HEALTH & SANITATION CONCERN - AVOID I am writing this…read morebecause multiple complaints to the General Manager and corporate office have been completely ignored. If you value your health, be extremely cautious about the Santee 24 Hour Fitness. The conditions in the sauna and steam room are absolutely filthy. They have not been properly cleaned or disinfected in over a month. We are talking about visible grime and unsanitary buildup in high-moisture areas--a literal breeding ground for bacteria and mold. It is disappointing to pay a monthly membership fee for a facility that refuses to maintain basic hygiene standards. I have already filed a formal complaint with the San Diego County Department of Environmental Health and Cal/OSHA because management here clearly doesn't care about member safety or facility upkeep. Until they deep-clean these areas and prove they have a daily sanitation schedule, I would highly recommend looking at other gyms in the area. Note to Management: Don't reply with a generic "we're sorry" template. Actually clean the gym.
