Pretty large selection of equipment to target every muscle you can think of. Love the grit and majority are pretty focused people, ie not sitting on a machine scrolling ig in between sets. You will get a lot of people recording content and tripods which is frustrating but that's how everyone rolls nowadays. read more

This was my first time visiting this location! I learned it is the original, which is pretty cool. I got a guest pass for the day. It was $20 which is a great deal. The guys at the front desk were very helpful. There were a lot of different machines and weights available and people actually working out. Very classic weightlifting gym. I enjoyed my workout and will be returning next time I'm in the area. read more

The equipment and gym itself is amazing don't get me wrong.but the workers that work there are nasty and mean.i had headphones on and was enjoying my workout when i got yelled at by a worker whose clearly on steroids.I didn't know what i was getting yelled at for but i agreed because he escalated the situation and brought violence into the situation and asked me "to step outside or im banned".Mind you I'm a minor.overall don't go here if you don't want to get yelled at or threatened might as well go to LA fitness instead. read more

Amazing atmosphere with great equipment and an awesome staff. I recently moved across the street, and I'm so glad this is now my home gym. Everyone is friendly and welcoming, and the facility is always clean and well-maintained. Whether you're just starting your fitness journey or you're an experienced lifter, I highly recommend this gym read more

Was in San Diego in the day for work, and got the chance to finally check out The Gym. It was super easy to get a day pass and the staff was really welcoming about everything the gym has. The facility is huge and didn't feel crowded at all for there being a decent amount of people. Bathrooms and locker room were well kept and clean. Going to come back next time I'm in SD. Highly recommend! read more

The Gym - Gyms Near Me - San Diego, California

Just renewed my membership for another year--this will be my third! No contracts, no sneaky fees, just straightforward monthly, 6-month, or annual options. If you're looking for saunas or classes, this probably isn't your gym. But if you want a friendly, motivating environment with great people and all the equipment you could need, this is absolutely the spot. Also a great gym for the girlies! read more

TG Gym is hands-down one of the best gyms I've trained at. The equipment selection is excellent everything is well thought out, solid, and perfect for serious training. You never feel limited here. One of my favorite parts is the outdoor training space. Having that option makes a huge difference, especially when you want fresh air or a different training vibe. While it doesn't have all the flashy amenities some big gyms offer, what it does have matters more: quality equipment, space to actually train, and an environment that supports real work. If you're focused on results and want a gym that prioritizes function over fluff, this place is hard to beat. 100% read more

Terrible lighting Old rusty Machines Piss on the floor with fan blowing piss smell in your face Needles on the floor in parking lot Bad parking until 9:30pm Super packed for it to be this bad of a gym read more

No frills gym where the real health nuts work out. Everyone looks like they are about to step on stage here. Shows wear and tear but you will be motivated read more

This place was dope. Hella old school machines, felt great. Went on a Wednesday night. Not busy. Excited to come back

I rarely write reviews but this place is a great place to train at. It has been a month in this gym and the team was very professional and the overall environment is very chill. I will be sad to leave this gym pretty soon( moving out of state). read more

Best gym. Everyone is super nice, especially the staff. The gym is extremely clean ALWAYS. Very easy to sign up. Lots of fit people here, you should come here. read more

The Gym - I see this dog Everytime - Gyms Near Me - San Diego, California

I used to go to this gym regularly, but after calling recently I was treated with extreme rudeness. That one experience was enough for me to decide I will no longer be returning. Very disappointing customer service. read more

This is one of the best gyms I've been to for a number of reasons. The owners are amazing. Everyone feels like family. They have great hours. They offer a flat membership fee with no hidden fees or cancellation fees. You can even buy a day pass or a week pass. The facility is very large. You have the option to train indoors or outdoors, upstairs or downstairs. There are probably 20 brand new stairmasters with tons of cardio options upstairs and tvs to watch sports while doing so. There are areas for you to do abs or stretching and even mirrors for posing. Downstairs there is a microwave with sofas in case you needed to heat up food. Outdoors there is a cart where you can purchase meal prep dishes or protein shakes. There is also an office to get phenomenal sports massages. In addition there's a shop to buy supplements connected to the gym. Parking can be a challenge on certain days and times, but you can always park across the street and walk over. They're always upgrading equipment and making changes. I love the vibe here. It's definitely worth a visit and even a membership. read more

I LOVE the gym. Everything about it is amazing except the parking . The parking situation is so awful I can't even describe how painful it is. Between waiting everyday and having to cram into spots with my tacoma it's pretty stressful. read more

called once to check if they have wellbeing and I can come with my membership from another TG, first time they answered, staff hung up right away, second time I asked they gave attitude. Staff need to get out of their head or hop off the cycle if their giving customers bs service. read more

If you like, lifting weights and are looking for a special gym with unique equipment and serious lifters in the San Diego area look no further. Also it's only about 30 per month with no commitment or initiation fee. read more

Without question, The Gym is by far, the greatest gym in the entire world. It is a bodybuilders paradise, as well any fitness die-hard. There is equipment that will never be found again. The atmosphere and adrenaline rush training at The Gym cannot compare to any other gym in the country, and probably the world. It far surpasses every threshold of what a real gym should be. The owner is a former bodybuilder, and one of the best 'gym rats' in the world. He knows what kind of gym is needed to have great workouts. The Gym is the best gym ever! read more

This is by far the best gym I've ever worked out in. They have every machine you could ever need, and they have a lot of them. The staff is AMAZING. They're very kind. I was going to buy a day pass for every day I was in San Diego, but the staff told me I could buy a week pass for much less. It wasn't clear when the week pass ended, and I guessed a day too late, but they let me workout that day anyway. The only bad thing is the parking lot but the gym itself is lights out amazing. 10/10 would recommend read more

Favorite gym I've ever been to. Outdoor/indoor - great amount of equipment. If you are looking for a fancy gym this isn't for you. If you are looking for a great workout and great vibes- this is the spot. read more

I mean you know... its the real deal and all fam here.....Been a member for a year... its a good place to be for motivation and some damn good equipment. read more

A gym for fitness lovers for sure. Very motivating vibe, and a lot of people working on themselves which is a very cool feel. People of all ages and sizes. It has a rustic feel to it. It's not the newest feeling gym, which means not the newest equipment which kind of leaves out that Instragrammy fitness crowd (I do vibe with this crowd as well tho). There are many different machines and different rooms, and an outdoor section which I really liked. It was relatively crowded, but I didn't have any issues waiting for equipment or weights. Parking was easy, but I can see how it might be challenging on a busy day. read more

I love this gym! Everyone is minding their own business and everyone here comes to lift. No one bothers you since everyone is minding their own business and I love that. I love that there's an outside section because it feels great at night. They keep the outside closed if it rains and is usually closed at 10:15pm most days. Parking is awful, that's no doubt. If I go to the gym anytime from 6am-9am parking is horrible. I've started going at around 9pm and there's plenty of parking. read more

The Gym - Gyms Near Me - San Diego, California

Don't waste your time here, Rick (the owner) hires the worst people. Staff mostly is shameful in the way they talk to members but hey seems normal in California, I would Noh waste my time or money here, members are mostly ok, it's the staff. Boycott for stupidity or until Rick fires and changes his staff. Anyone who said best gym I've been to has never been to a real gym- dragons lair in Vegas or oxygen in uae, even golds gym in Venice is 10x better read more

Amazing machines, new and older ones. To be honest some of the older machines are my favorite. Clean facility and most importantly clean bathrooms. I love how there's a terrace upstairs with additional machines. The weather is usually nice and I love to enjoy it as I get my workout done. Great people and awesome atmosphere!!! Best in the west Have you been to paradise lately? read more

From a native San Diegan, this is the best gym in town, by a mile. I made the switch about a year ago and have never looked back. I'll be working out here so long as it's around. Will not consider another joint, ever. The Gym is a haven for weightlifting purists. The folks here are serious about their physiques. And it shows. As someone who's been lifting since about 16, I can confidently say that the average person here is well beyond average in build and fitness. You won't see a lot of yuppies screwing around and wasting peoples time looking at their phones endlessly. The patrons are serious; they actually come in to lift. And I appreciate that. Upstairs, there's an excellent cardio room with all the basics. More than adequate to supplement your lifting. Downstairs, a tremendous variety of old school and newer lifting equipment. You can easily find at least half a dozen different machines for each prime and secondary muscle group. So many options to sculpt your way to a fantastic body. I would be remiss if I didn't address the unwarranted poor reviews left by some of the most miserable cretins around. You know who you are. Listen loud and clear: Apocalyptic, fear-mongering snowflakes, please steer clear of this place. You're never welcome here. You don't fit the vibe. People are here to grind, to do work. It's a mindset of toughness, grit, achievement. Constructs you wouldn't know anything about. We won't be deterred by a bunch of (unfit) sheep who cry foul over "social distancing". Alas, if you fit this description: (1) you suck; and (2) stay TF home and fall further behind...in life. read more

Dirty gym and old and falling apart equipment. Used to be a great spot to train with helpful and welcoming people, but turned into an unfriendly and territorial feel. Definitely one of the cheapest gyms in the area which is a perk, but you can understand why it's so cheap when you try and train here. Certain packs know each other and don't seem friendly to outsiders- leads to them passing machines to each other and cornering certain areas. Packed at peak hours to the point where it's difficult to get a full workout in without waiting. People camp out at the more popular machines and spend an excessive amount of time resting vs actually using the equipment. Would consider several other gyms in the area to focus on training. Parking is a nightmare and you'll spend over 30 minutes looking for a parking spot or longer walking. Some suggest parking in a nearby neighborhood, which is about a 1/2 mile walk and through multiple busy streets. read more

Love this place! I've been away 3 whole years. As soon as I walked in I was greated by Brad. Amazingly greated by my name! Amazing after all these years. Great place with many upgrades. read more

Great place to get a workout! Every piece of equipment you could want. Love the outdoor area.

Definitely one of the best gyms in the world!!! The most and the best leg equipment area of any gym.

Just a juice head gym. That's not why I give 2 stars. The equipment is old and rusty. Seriously wtf. The staff is rude, they don't welcome people or have any sense of customer service. No sauna and if you ask they basically tell you to go to another gym. Dudes lifting with no shirts and flexing to take photos. That says it all. If you want to do cardio the few tv's they have barley work. It's just a shitty gym. I went 2x and I grew up I. The neighborhood. I guess I realize why i never went. Waste of money just go to 24 hr fitness. I gave it 2 stars bc you do t gotta wear a mask during restrictions and I respect that. read more

One of the better gyms ove ever trained at. Each room of the gym is dedicated for one or two body parts, plus the have a cool outdoor gym area on the second floor. Serious people walk around all over the gym, and the ow wr was a pleasure to talk with about bodybuilding. We will definitely be returning back to the gym to train again! read more

The Gym - Gyms Near Me - San Diego, California

Best bodybuilding gym in town! All metal plates none of that rubber nonsense. Every-time I walk in I feel like a kid walking into a candy store. Hardcore equipment all around and the melodious sounds of 45s clanging against each other against the backdrop of heavy metal music. Great atmosphere of highly motivated meatheads and some of the most beautiful women in the world all working towards a common goal of being the gnarliest version of themselves. I love it here. read more

Here are some Pros And cons PROS: Many different machines Different rooms/ gym spread out Friendly employees Clean restrooms Cons: Crowded! People just stand at a machine and would talk and talk to others there A lot of waiting for a machine Dirty looks if you aren't the fittest looking Hardly any parking read more

I went in and had a talk to the owner Rick today he's a great guy and this a good gym if you want golds gym Venice but you are in San Diego

If you're into the gym and enjoy a motivating environment, this is the place to be. Massive people everywhere you look. Huge variety of machines and a cool outdoor area on the roof. Sign up was easy, 3 months $100 no questions asked. read more

This place is the best!!! Best gym in San Diego hands down. I'm visiting from Vegas, I went on Yelp searching to find a gym that was open during these Covid times and restrictions, (Side Note-the states need to open the gyms!) found this gem. They even have an entire parking lot right in front of it. I can only imagine how amazing this gym is when fully open. Place is huge! Two stories and an outdoor balcony gym they put together during this time. Absolutely amazing! The owners and staff greet you when you walk in and are extremely nice. On the balcony, they have everything. Dumbbells, cables, machines, squat racks, deadlifting stations, and benches. Tables with shade are setup that have towels and cleaning spray. Just inside they have an entire floor dedicated to cardio machines. This will be my new gym every time I come out to visit San Diego. I see some other 1 star posts based off of masks, Covid protocols, safety measures against Covid..... Haha!!! You are going to a gym! A gym where there are bodies of sweat and iron everywhere! You are actually complaining about a mask?!? What is a 2 cent mask is going to do?!?! Also, why would you go to a gym if you are afraid of Covid?!? Bottom line, if you are afraid of Covid, never leave your house. Become a recluse. You probably weren't that fun to hangout with anyways. Let everyone else live life and go to the gym. read more

Great gym. Full of plenty of things to lift. Owner and the guys at the front are amazing. Best gym in SD. Only Cons: -Parking - closes early on Sat 9pm?!?!? - Trainers are terrible at following up when you inquire or act like they're too busy for you -One trainer was on their cell phone during our session. Would not pay for one again. I do NOT pay you to text. read more

Good equipment and outdoor space. Some staff are helpful, but others are frequently extremely rude.
