Best gym in south San Diego! [[HIGHLIGHT]]The staff is super friendly[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] and the gym is equipped with a lot of good machines.

Jomar A.

Very friendly environment. Not much for me to say at least, since I've only been a member here for the past 2 months but it has been great. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Before even joining and becoming a member, I asked if I could get a tour and one of the staff were friendly enough to give me a detailed tour on the facility and what the memberships offered.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Oh yeah, and parking is really good-- they offer a free parking structure that is a 1-2 minute walk away from the gym, as well as free night parking. [[HIGHLIGHT]]After becoming a member, I found out a time spot that perfectly fit my schedule (and one that didn't have much members packing the place, which I will be gatekeeping) and it's just great.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I get to isolated myself in my own bubble and workout and I really love it. For what you get out of the base membership, I think it is 200% worth it.

What an amazing gym to have in downtown Chula Vista. I have been coming here for about a week now and enjoy the workout here. The staff is very friendly and my favorite part about this gym is everyone that goes their wipes down the machine after being used for the next person. Definitely recommend if you are in the South Bay Area. They play variety of music as well while you workout unless you bring some headphones. Very chill gym and will be back again.

Ask the Community - The Gym Chula Vista

Is this location actually 24 hours?

It is. Here are the hours: Monday - Thursday: 24 hours open.… 

How busy is it around 6pm? Is it still super busy like the other gyms?

I think just like all or most gyms it's usually busy around that time, but I've seen worse places that gets really very packed compared to this gym. They also have so much parking in the back where the parking structure is that's one thing you won't… 

How much is a basic membership?

How is the parking situation?

There's a parking garage with 3 levels right behind the gym! There's also street parking towards the front of the gym, but you pay by the meter.

After struggling with a shoulder labrum tear, I spent 6 weeks in physical therapy and honestly did…read morenot see much progress. I was frustrated, still dealing with pain, weakness, and limited mobility, and felt like I wasn't getting the attention or guidance I needed for real recovery. So I reached out to Ryan and within one session, I felt a tremendous difference in my shoulder mobility, pain and strength. He took the time to actually understand my injury, explain the recovery process, and gave me workouts and movements that helped strengthen my shoulder safely and effectively. It's been a week and my shoulder feels so good I am able to move shoulder almost at full range! I have known Ryan for almost about 20 years. The first time I had gone to Ryan I had gone to him about knee pain. I used to wear knee braces because my knees would lock and he helped me strengthen my legs so that I no longer use knee braces and after training with him I have never used knee braces again he showed me the fundamentals of working out and great form and ever since my form is great and it helped me shaped my athletic abilities. I highly recommend Ryan to anyone recovering from an injury, from shoulder to knee issue, someone looking to perform better in their athletic sports or simple as weight loss journey. Ryan's knowledgeable and patient approach made a huge difference in my recovery journey.

I've been training with Ryan for a year now. What I appreciate about training with Ryan is that he…read morealways has a personalized approach to our workouts. For example, if I didn't get enough sleep (perimenopause is not fun!), then he will adjust my workout to focus on other things. Same If I'm sore in one part of my body, he will have exercises that helps to work through that. He has a great attitude, pushes me when I need to be pushed, and I consider him a friend as he's seen me on my good days and not so good days. I've learned a lot from him and how to generalize my skills learned from our sessions to other exercises outside of our sessions. I highly recommend trying out a session with Ryan; you won't regret it.

Hi Yelp! First off let me start by saying I have lost a total of 36 pounds in 4 months. I feel…read morestronger and more energized than ever before and it's all because of Kate! I originally called Kate to help me lose weight for my wedding in September but I plan to keep this going for as long as possible! I love how much stronger and stronger I feel every week. KATE is very knowledgeable about all aspects of working out, she guides you through every step and makes sure you are doing the movements correctly so you don't hurt yourself. She provides a full guide specifically tailored to your fitness needs (in my case weight loss), the program helps with what to eat, when to eat, and how much to eat, and there are also specific workouts for your level of fitness you do on your own. Out first meeting was more like a consultation where she gets a feel for what level of fitness you are at, and I was level beginner :) And from there she builds that plan for you. I work out with Kate 2 days a week tue & thurs and then 1 day by myself usually Saturday morning plus cardio every other few days. I had a gym membership in the past but I only ever did cardio at the gym so I am a beginner when it comes to working out/weightlifting. Let me give you an idea of how far I have come. When I first started with Kate, I could barely do 1 push-up on my knees and now I can do 5 solid regular push-ups. And that's huge for me. I was so out of breath after 1 burpee and it was so awkward for me, but now I can do 10 still winded but nothing like before! We have done all this from the comfort of my own home in my garage, with 2 yoga Matts and a couple of dumbbells. Call Kate, it's the best decision you can make for yourself! My fiancé is so happy with my results, everyone in my life has been complimenting me saying that I look the best I have ever looked. I have totally gained more muscle and it shows, I am thinner but more importantly more Toned and I could not have done any of this without Kate. If I can do it anyone can do it. HIRE KATE! She will not disappoint. She is an amazing personal trainer!

Any issue or question I've had was resolved promptly. Michael is truly the best! I'd also like to give a shoutout to Manny, Omar, Eddie, Sophia, and Clari. They have all been incredibly kind, supportive, and encouraging throughout my fitness journey. And a final shoutout to Alex, the owner, for creating such an incredible gym and fitness community. It's truly a dream destination for anyone looking to improve their health and fitness in a positive, welcoming environment. By far, this has been the best gym experience I've had. Thank you to the entire team for creating such a positive and motivating environment. I truly appreciate all of you!

Coaches are friendly, will push ( I mean challenge ) you, in a very good way. The energy that they will just keep you going.

Coaches will show modification and your safety is at their utmost priority. They acknowledge fitness levels are all around different. When you think no one is looking, you will find them beside you or doing the exercise with you. Big Matt owner has been soooo nice d'BEST. The gym offers group Challenges ( for a minimal fee ) from 14 day to 30 day, and in-between, with nutrition guidance, coach consultation, etc. Glad I found this Gym ( tnx to my dear friend for the intro and encouragement to give it a try ) been looking for something like this for a very long time ( not a typical 24h or LA fitness vibe and other small gym franchise ) . Everyone here are so friendly. From the staff to the mbrs. Morning and evening classes that starts as early as 0500 . (Bathrooms are always clean ). Been going here since November last year and the Gym still is well-kept, carpet does not smell, has not walked on a sticky floors. Lots of parking . Sometimes big Matt even will bring in a DJ.

Once I signed all the forms and created my profile, the instructor for the 10 a.m. class came out and gave me a tour of what to expect, how to move between the different workouts throughout the class, where to look for instructions and what to listen out for. She was very thorough and calmed my nerves down (I don't want to be falling behind by myself in the class!) The class that I attended was divided into 3 stations: treadmill, rowing machine and floor (with dumbbells). Each machine/space in a station is numbered, so once you're assigned a number, that's the spot in each station that you're supposed to go. There's no need to "fight" over a spot with someone else. It's really organized. The instructor, Michelle, was entertaining. She's very motivating and I found myself entertained by her laughter, which took away a little of the suffering throughout the workout. If you're a data geek, you're gonna love this. They display your heart rate throughout the class (you're given a heart rate tracker to wear during the class) and you can easily see the zones in which you're operating. I'm looking forward to having my butts kicked in the next class.

From the moment you walk in, the front desk team sets the tone by greeting you by your first name and making you feel genuinely welcome. That same personal touch carries into the studio, where the coaches take the time to get to know you and regularly call you by name during class, whether they are cheering you on, correcting form, or helping you level up your effort. I appreciate their music choices, detailed instruction, and the way they balance encouragement with just the right amount of challenge to push us past our comfort zones. The coaching team is always clear with cues, form corrections, and modifications, which makes it easy to show up, work hard, and trust the process. I especially want to recognize Coach Michelle for her fun class vibe, positive interaction with the members, and engaging coaching style. She plays some of the best workout music, with energetic tracks that give you rhythm on the tread or rower, like Lauryn Hill's "Lost Ones," and it is awesome when she sings along and keeps the whole room smiling while we are grinding through the tough blocks. You can tell she genuinely loves what she does and loves the people working out with her; the way she calls us "my loves" matches the warmth and energy she brings to every class. The people and atmosphere here make the workouts genuinely enjoyable while still pushing us to become stronger and more confident every class. I am really grateful for this community; it does not just feel like a gym, it feels like a workout family that is always in your corner.

Hello beautiful people! Today, I want to share with you an amazing experience…read more I came to San Diego Strength and Wellness at a dire time in my life. I had received the news that I might need knee surgery due to a tear on my ACL and Meniscus. That evening I spoke to my dear friend Ben and he asked me the following " do you want to wait and see what the doctors say? Or do you want to give your knee a fighting chance at recovery through proper physical training? The thought of getting in better shape, not going under the knife and giving my body a chance to heal was too tempting to pass. I said "YES". I then asked " what do I need to do?" and he just said "just trust me Sal". We immediately set up our workout schedule and he asked me to send him photos of everything I was eating throughout my day. Twice a week I did 60 minute personal training sessions and sent him daily photos of my meals until I refined my eating habits. I can honestly say I am not dieting. I eat what I want, when I want. I just crave healthy stuff and that is what I had been chasing for a long time; sustainable healthy eating habits. With this said I want to thank you Ben! First of all, your work ethic is contagious and the foundation to your success. Your gym is clean, not crowded, it has great energy and the team you have created is 2nd to none. Your whole team has eagerness to help and develop the talent that goes in seeking help/guidance on improving both mentally and physically. I can now say that after 3 months of hardwork in and outside the gym, that I am stronger body and mind, healthier, and the fittest I've ever been. Oh and did I mention, NO SURGERY NEEDED!! Started 2022 at 173lbs, got to San Diego Strength and Wellness at 163lbs and after 3 months got down to 148lbs. Slowly losing fat and gaining muscle. Being healthy is not easy and/or quick; it takes time, dedication, persistence, and above all, resilience to adhere to your objective. Thank you all for the support in this journey and for your continued support in my next journey!

I joined because I wanted to prepare for my College Volleyball Season by increasing my athleticism and strength. My trainer Julia really pushed me. Being a former collegiate athlete herself, she knew what it takes to be successful at the next level. Despite only meeting with her twice a week, I have gotten a lot stronger and gained 8lbs of muscle going from 143lbs to 151lbs. She taught me lots of different exercises that help me strengthen my entire body, especially my hips, legs, core, and at the same time increasing my overall flexibility and mobility all of which have translated on the volleyball court. I don't think I ever been pushed more physically and mentally any where else. Look no further this is the best gym in SD. Highly recommend.
