    A workout for $2 in a pool that's never crowded and well staffed. What's not to like. Horrible review Shannon D.

    UCSD canyon view is awesome! It's kept exceptionally clean (yes even the locker rooms) the staff…read moreare top notch and friendly, and the hot tub is FANTASTIC. Not only, but I can't count how many awesome evenings I've spent there getting a great workout in the pool, then just vegging out in the hot tub while watching the sunset or admiring view of the canyon... Truly a special place to swim. The layout consists of a main building where you have to register to get in (either using your student ID or buying a membership). The main building is also where you will find a rock wall climbing center (i've never been but I know every once in a while they have days where students climb free) as well as your showers/locker rooms, and a great little gym. When i lived on this campus i used to prefer the Canyone View Gym to RIMAC simply because nobody seemed to use it, and I never had to wait on anyone to do my workout. Literally straddling the pool building are two olympic sized pools and the legendary hot tub. The pools are heated, with lights that turn on when needed, as well as 2 diving boards on the east pool. The crowd that goes here is good at respecting the "slow on the left, fast on the right" lane rule, and when it gets a little crowded people are very respectful when sharing lanes. In fact, if you are super slow like me, its totally fine to just go to the shallow end and work on your swimming for a while - thats what i did for a month or so and improved greatly! Nobody every gave me even the slightest of negative looks. Finally, I cannot stress how importantly awesome the hot tub is. Its large (you could probably fit 15 people in there), clean, HOT, and positioned perfectly so that you can go and relax after any sort of work out. In my experienced opinion, (and that of many others) this is THE best aquatic facility and THE best hot tub in all of La Jolla, possibly all of San Diego. Right now with absolutely no affiliation to UCSD you'd have to pay 120$/3 months, and an alumni pays $100/qtr. Its really not that bad - I strongly recommend this as your next workout choice.

    I love this place! It's a pretty chill place to swim and relax. I pretty enjoy the view and the…read morelovely atmosphere here.

    Wanted to take a moment to update my review of YMCA's Summer Camp experience now that our youngest…read moreturned 5 and has joined her big brother (10 year old) at camp. The YMCA Dan McKinney location continues to be rockstars when it comes to their summer camp experiences for the kids. There is a reason we come year after year and it has to do with the quality of their high interest, highly engaging camps. The counselors continue to work hard to ensure all campers are having a blast and be so patient and kind in those moments of overwhelm. As an educator myself, I greatly appreciate the care and effort of each counselor we've met this summer. I see the effort and it doesn't go unnoticed. Our oldest (10 year old, autism and ADHD) continues to love the different camps he's been a part of this summer. Slime, Harry Potter, Adventure (I mean....they're going on amazing field trips to Petco Park and Safari Park!), and soon Parkour. Our youngest (5 year old) has loved gymnastics, Disney Jr, and coming up Little Gardeners. It just feels good as a parent (and special needs parent at that) to drop off your kids knowing they're safe, going to make some new friends, and thoroughly enjoy each activity each day. Registration is straightforward, communication each week is clear and helpful, checking in and out also a breeze. 10/10 So, thank you YMCA Dan McKinney for continuing to provide amazing camps for our kids and kudos to all of the counselors who are gems in bringing these camps to life for these/my kids.

I do feel I get the value for the price for my whole family. I didn't request any services this time other than to workout in a family environment that is warm and welcoming which it meets my expectations every time.

    24 HOUR FITNESS @ UTC LA JOLLA…read more Parking is available on the first floor of the Genesee Avenue parking garage. If you're visiting with the 5-day free pass, I highly recommend entering through this entrance because it can be a little confusing to find the gym since it's located underneath the UTC mall. One great perk is that 24 Hour Fitness validates an additional two hours of parking on top of UTC's free one-hour parking, giving you a total of three hours to work out and even do a little shopping afterward. This was actually my first time ever visiting a 24 Hour Fitness. Since I live so close to UTC, I've always wanted to check it out, especially because it's open 24 hours. I originally signed up for the free 5-day trial, but after taking a quick tour, the salesperson was incredibly friendly and even gave me $15 off the regular membership price. That made it an easy decision to sign up. I'm a pretty low-maintenance gym person, so all I really care about is having a clean, spacious gym with plenty of equipment, and this location definitely delivers. There are lots of free weights, machines, and plenty of equipment for both upper and lower body workouts. I also love that they offer cycling classes and are adding Pilates classes soon, which is a huge bonus. My only real complaint is that it can get very crowded during peak hours, especially in the mornings and evenings. Luckily, I work remotely, so I have the flexibility to go during off-peak times when it's much less busy. If you have a flexible schedule, I think you'll have a much better experience. Another feature I really enjoy is the recovery amenities. They have both a sauna and a steam room, which are perfect after a tough workout. My membership only costs $47 a month, which is honestly much cheaper than some of the smaller boutique gyms I've belonged to before. It also includes a guest buddy pass, making it easy to bring a friend along. Overall, I've had a great experience with this 24 Hour Fitness. While it can get crowded during busy times, the spacious facility, wide variety of equipment, group fitness classes, recovery amenities, convenient location, and affordable membership make it a gym I would definitely recommend trying.

    They recently "upgraded" this gym. It was clean for about two weeks then without proper upkeep it's…read morenasty again. They moved the free weights area to the old basketball court, which is larger than before but it's always stuffy down there. NO AC!!! At least they added more squat racks. But downside, we lost the outdoor area. So this gym is still ghetto. I regret renewing my annual membership.

    We're in our 5th season working with Brad for our two boys, now 5 and 2.5. Both started lessons…read morewhen they were around 1.5, and neither were a fan of the water out of the gate. They even cried longer than average throughout their first sessions. Despite the tears, it was amazing to see how quickly they learned and developed new skills. He works so well with kids and tailors each session to their individual needs, while also building a relationship with them and making lessons enjoyable. Our 5 year old is so confident in the water now and learning traditional strokes, and our little one has even started asking to swim. We can't say enough good things about Coach Brad and recommend him whenever anyone asks us about swim lessons. We're so grateful we found him and for the invaluable water safety skills he has taught our boys.

    My 5-year-old just completed ISR refresher with My Baby Swims and wanted to highlight his progress…read moreand abilities under the instruction of this program. Before ISR, we spent over a year in traditional once a week swim lessons. While he enjoyed the pool, he wasn't swimming independently, showed little advancement and didn't have the skills to get himself to safety. After hearing so many parents recommend Coach Brad, we were fortunate to get into the program. As a healthcare provider, I appreciated the full ISR intake process and personalization of each lesson. They always considered his sleep, diet, and daily routine, and knew exactly when to encourage him while keeping him confident and engaged. Knowing exactly when to challenge a child to advance a skill, when to offer reassurance, and how to do both within the brief window of a young child's attention span is no easy task. My Baby Swims instructors have truly mastered that balance. My son, who once struggled with fear and anxiety when transitioning into the pool area, is now confidently swimming the length of the pool with a huge smile and has the skills to safely navigate the water. Just as importantly, I now have the knowledge and confidence as a parent to continue supporting his progress. Thank you, Coach Brad, Coach Baye, and My Baby Swims, for giving our son the confidence and life-saving skills to be safer in the water.

    Giving a shout out to all the amazing Pilates Instructors at LA Fitness: Angela, Danae, Mia,…read moreChelsea, Fatma & Irene. I haven't taken classes with the weekday mornings' instructors but I'm sure they are really good too! They teach classes where students are at different fitness levels and attitudes too lol. The instructors do an amazing job of correcting your form, providing modifications (always ask if something starts to hurt), and they also push you harder, especially if they have seen you in previous classes. My twin sister was in town and joined me last minute to a class with Angela! She's amazing, tough and nice enough to take a picture with us! My twin loved the class so much that she's looking into joining her local LA Fitness. My favorite part is the stretching leg circles & frog with the ropes at the end of class. I definitely come to class for "me" time and to shut the noise of work and the world.

Some adjustment mechanisms are so rusted that they get stuck, making it impossible to set the machine to the correct position. This isn't just inconvenient--it's a safety hazard. The cardio equipment is also in bad shape. You'll often clean a machine before using it, only to find out it's out of order. Several of the screens are loose, outdated, or barely functional. For the amount members pay, the gym should invest in maintaining and replacing worn-out equipment. A fitness center should be clean, safe, and have working machines. Unfortunately, this location feels neglected and in desperate need of repairs and upgrades.
