    So basically don't call because no one answers and you can do everything online. Also beginner classes are NOT Monday Wednesday.
    KeithNic K.

    Another business that's ran by children (or so it sounds.) The entire process to do a drop in class is an absolute nightmare. Their website specifically says for adult beginner classes (Monday Wednesday 8-10 which isn't even ON Monday/Wed for beginners,) to CALL THEM. My friend and I who lives all the way in Escondido wanted to go to the class tonight. We both called ALL DAY off and on (which is super frustrating,) and no one answered. I finally get a hold of them 7 -8 phone calls, one voicemail and an email later and this valley girl from hell who talks over you says "you can register online." Then why the **** does the website say CALL TO Pre register?! What a waste of time... Fix your website, answer your phone and hire someone with better customer service. Over it, we decided to just do yoga instead. Too much hassle.

    If you are reading Victory for reviews you will want to move o the San Diego United Gymnasts since that is the current name. Now with that let's review! SDU just like VGA are geared towards gymnastics and currently they have only females in their gymnastics program. That being mentioned. That do have something for boys!! They beginning tumbling for boys is called Spider Boys (SB) and there is a Parkour class!! Our sone progressed through SB. He thoroughly enjoyed Parkour. SB has had several coaches but the current two have been consistent for the last few months! They are making a difference with the standardization of their learning the fundamentals and getting them on a program. There was a lot of restarts with each new coach. Glad they are there to help! As for Parkour I can't say enough at how great coach Nicolas is with the boys! I have see our sons dexterity and hand-eye coordination improve along with his confidence in his abilities to brachiate. Oh and they boys are all so positive and helpful to each other! They work on moves and have lots of fun! What more can you ask for? Bring the kids!!

    Good Job

    This place is great...Whether you bring your child for exercise or to build skills, they will have a good time and come back to you out of breath and sweating with a smile on their face...The coaches are very knowledgeable and give each student their all...They have plenty of blocks and stations to accommodate the many classes... The "Freestyle Gymnastics" class is a twist on traditional gymnastics that takes elements from Tumbling- Parkour - Martial arts - as well as break dancing to teach students how to climb-up jump-over and freestyle with the equipment. THE ONLY negatives is they do not except students over 18...and the parent viewing area is shoved in a corner where you can only see half of the gym clearly, unless you stand against the wall by the bathrooms

    Parkour!

    The staff make all the difference. It's awesome that it's never too crowded and as a larger person…read morejust starting on a new health journey; I don't feel super judged, and def feel welcome by all the trainers. Started doing personal training with Natalie S. After one session I feel like a whole new person. She listened to my concerns and my goals and tailored a regimen to my specific needs. Love the Chill Zone - just wish it was included in the membership instead of $20 a session (you do get one free session per month which is nice). The infrared sauna is a great warm down! Grateful for this community and excited to try out more classes. Just wish there were more offerings, the classes I like are only offered once a week.

    I chose this gym for the convenient location and easy parking. I'd never done a full walkthrough,…read moreso I popped in one afternoon and was genuinely impressed by the old-school vibe. It felt like a perfect match for someone who appreciates real gym culture over shiny boutique studios. But the longer I trained there, the more the cracks started showing--and they add up fast. The equipment is a mixed bag. The free weights feel satisfyingly heavy (old-world heavy, great for pumps), and I really loved the turf area--it's loaded with punching bags, sleds, aerial bands, kettlebells, Bosu balls, a vibration plate, and more. It's genuinely impressive... when it's not a zoo. People constantly cut across paths or leave equipment scattered everywhere. Lanes or some basic traffic management would make a huge difference. The machines, mostly older Techno Gym and Hoist units, are where things fall apart. Many have off motions, some are missing weight scales entirely so you can't even tell what you're lifting, and the abductor/adductor machine has a weirdly tilted seat that forces awkward positioning and incomplete reps. The locker room was a constant frustration. Way too small for the traffic, with tiny lockers that barely fit a gym bag--forget squeezing in shoes, a phone, or a hat. It's also uncomfortably hot with terrible ventilation, and the black toilets plus lack of any real vanity area made post-workout routines feel like a hassle. Same story with the abysmal shower water pressure. Nothing about the space felt luxurious despite the "low membership, high quality" marketing. The infrared sauna gets plenty hot but is clearly showing its age (the teak creaks like it's begging for maintenance). The cycle studio is actually awesome--super dark and built for intense rides--and the yoga studio with skylights and soft wood floors is cozy. The stretching room has a stretching cage and free percussion guns, but with only one cage and limited space, it quickly turns into a crowded mess. Two reformers are a nice touch, though. The recovery area has real potential: hot bath, cold plunge, red light panel, and Norma-Tec boots. But everything is pay-to-play after the first use (one free recovery session per month, $35 extra after that; InBody scans are $15 each). At my previous luxury club, these were included with your membership. They send a cute monthly newsletter highlighting employee of the month and new equipment, which is a nice touch, but it doesn't hide the feeling that the club is running on limited operating capital. Everything feels a little gimmicky and nickel-and-dimed. I really wanted to love this place for its old-school soul and solid turf setup, but at $199 per month, the headaches and lack of luxury simply aren't worth it. I'll miss the turf training the most, but I won't be renewing. Best avoided unless you're okay with paying premium prices for a dated experience.

    Living in Hillcrest has so many components that make it a terrific place to live, and one of the…read moreforemost among them is having Prime Fitness just around the corner from my house. Conveniently located on First Street and accessible 24 hours, the gym is clean and well-maintained. Occupying the entire ground floor of a building, it has a feeling of spaciousness about it. Doors that open to the small patio area, along with ceiling fans, enable good air circulation throughout the space. Fellow gym-goers are friendly and always willing to engage when you approach them about routines or exercises. No attitude at this place whatsoever. People are genuinely happy to share their successes and reflections on their own self-journeys to fitness, which makes the gym feel like not only a place the place where you can go to work out, but also a place where you can continually learn from other gym enthusiasts about ways to improve your own focus on physical improvement. A sense of a community among people with a common interest in health and fitness, and a willingness to share it, are two of of the most unique and notable characteristics of this gym. The owner, Keith Deidrich, pays meticulous attention to the gym's layout and functionality, resulting in a nice rotation of machines and weights throughout the space. It's exciting to come in to find a new machine, such as the very impressive cable crossover set up, complete with high bars for dead-hangs and pull-ups, or a one-of-a-kind lat pull-over machine that requires the force of your elbows, placed on pads and pushing down, to accomplish the exercise. It's like a squat machine for the upper body. In addition to the machines and freeweights, the gym has add-on weight blocks in gradations of two-and-a-half pounds that are custom-made to be inserted on top of the machine pulley racks to increase the resistance in smaller increments when the built-in 10- or 15-pound increases are too much of a step-up. Being able to use these blocks has enabled me to slowly increase the amount I'm lifting without making a jump up to a higher weight that is just too heavy. And there are plenty of cardio machines as well. In short, this neighborhood-centered gym with its relaxed vibe, excellent equipment, and friendly and respectful members makes working out a highlight of my daily schedule.

    Wanted to give a quick update - still loving the gym, I've been going here five days a week and was…read moreable to reach my fitness goals. Thank you Keith for being so welcoming and supportive!

They've got eucalyptus steam rooms, fresh towels, spacious lockers and showers, and even grab-and-go drinks and snacks. I basically never want to leave. Group classes are where it's at: yoga, HIIT, dance, and even reformer Pilates (yes, I feel fancy). Booking through the app is a breeze. The gym is always clean, never overcrowded, and yes people wipe down machines. Germaphobes, rejoice! Worth it? Because health is wealth and this place makes fitness feel like luxury. My home away from home. Cheers to hitting your fitness goals!

It was the primary reason I joined. Unfortunately, the circuit has never functioned as described. Staff doesn't enforce the intended rotation, and members routinely treat the machines like standard equipment -- sitting between sets, often on their phones, with no regard for others trying to move through. When I asked to work in during rest periods, I was met with outright rudeness. Even when staff stepped in to explain the circuit guidelines, members pushed back. A gym is only as good as the culture it cultivates. Enforcing the features you sell -- and holding members to basic courtesy standards -- should be non-negotiable. This gap between what was promised and what I experienced is why I cancelled my membership. I was also sold a personal training package by their independent in-house fitness training company and it was also not as presented--the trainer didn't listen to me, cut my session short, and never gave me the exercise plan as promised. I'm still fighting to get my $379 back for this.

The gym focuses in on efficient and proper forms/techniques on all their workouts. The main concept is that all classes are split into 2 types, the "tuff" and "rig". As you guessed it's basically cardio or lift. You can decide what you like to do based on your body and your goals. I've personally have not tried other "similar" type of gyms but from the feedbacks of others I've talked to, this gym's program and setup is one of the most effective. From the owner Rory to the trainers Brooke/Loccy, everyone greets you with a smile and only sends positive support. No judgement on the amount of weight you use nor the amount of reps you can do. As long as you give it your all! It's a pretty even 50/50 split with men and women. Don't be afraid to come check it out! I highly recommend.
