They canceled my gym membership for no reason, Just because someone that is friend with the owner ask him to. Thanks to that I'm now at METROFLEX OCEANSIDE and that's the best gym I ever been to, best vibe, friendly people, always making sure everyone feels welcome. read more

Management should genuinely consider all perspectives of a problem, rather than taking sides. Additionally, they should investigate any issues that arise between a member and an employee. I'm now traumatized in my fitness journey because of the people at this gym. My experience there has made me closed off from making any connections, even though this gym is well-known for its "respect" to others. read more

The Gym Vista - Gyms Near Me - Vista, California

Probably the best gym in the area. Great price, super friendly staff, and everyone brings their dogs! My dog loves it here and there's a great range of equipment! read more

Worse experience ever. I got the day pass and couldn't be worse. It's insanely hot inside, there are broken machines, old machines and the staff doesn't help in anything. The music is loud and sounds like you are in a night club. I was sweating so much I was afraid to pass out and this was like 8pm, I don't wanna imagine at 2pm. I tried to call, I sent emails and no answers or replies. Don't waste your time and money you can find a much muuuch better gym. read more

I've been going there for about a year. This place was s a mess. The people are great but the facilities are awful. Dirty mix d match weights. They do construction during peak evening hours. They play loud gangster rap music. I'm leaving. read more

It's a cool looking gym. BUT beware if you take pictures or/and do a photo shoot there (btw you still need to pay a day pass if you're not a member)! The owner of the gym "steals" images without your permission if he likes them, and then uses them for promotion like, for example, making the gym website more attractive! read more

The Gym Vista - View from upper level. - Gyms Near Me - Vista, California

Went middle of the night so you can't go wrong. Lady working at the front desk is very helpful

Literally worst gym ever!!! Owners are rude for no reason. Environment isn't very welcoming either. Seems like you have to look a certain way to get treated right. Equipment is OLD. Its always HOT in there. Save yourself time and money and go to another gym!! read more

This place feels like home. Good vibes all around! Diverse equipment for cardio and weights, indoor and outdoor! Welcoming staff, meal prep and supplements available. It's just all around a great gym read more

I don't know why some people say that the staff/people in the gym are not nice. It's quite the opposite, every time that I come through the doors the staff always say hi back and when working out, the members are always respectful and don't criticize at all. Some members have even given me some very helpful advice/recommendations when they saw me struggling in something with a positive attitude. I highly recommend the gym because 90% of the time it's not packed like other Gyms and there's a lot of equipment. read more

The Gym is great! I went in for a day pass to try it out (if you like the gym they will have the 20 go towards your membership). The next day I tried calling a few times but no one answered. I ended up signing up after the 24 hour period, and was understanding that they wouldn't be able to apply it to my membership, but I let them know what happened and they happily gave me back the 20! I really appreciated that, but they don't answer the phone so just go in! They have a TON of equipment that most gyms don't have, never seems to be overly crowded, has a great outdoor workout area and there's even puppies always running around! Love that! They don't have AC which hasn't been a problem, but some people may like that. The staff and just people that work out there are all very friendly. Overall I really love the atmosphere. read more

I have emailed and called about my membership. Due to covid and now not having a job, plus living hella far. I can't make it to the gym no more. I've been trying to cancel my membership!!! I've emailed in July! No response, been calling since and no one answers!!! Wtf? Update: so after multiple attempts on canceling my membership, and no luck! I had to cancel my card due to another issue (not related to the gym)... anyways my card got canceled two weeks ago, TWO! And this GYM sent my account to a collection agency because my monthly payment of 40 dollars wasn't done! I spoke to the financial place and explain to them that I have proof of emails and phone calls, that their is also other reviews about this gym never answering for people/members trying to cancel... he was helpful and documented this in his end.. now i will make the a 40 minute drive just to go speak to someone so this doesn't affect my credit! They don't answer but are quick to send you to collections! Unprofessional AF read more

It is the best gym in North County of San Diego! It is clean and they have plenty of equipments for everyone. Very affordable and no BS contract. People will treat you with respect and very friendly. It is my second home and yeah no creepers like 24 lol Personal trainers here are well experienced and educated. read more

I got to give it up to Todd and his staff at this gym!! This separates those who are being serious and those who just look for a center to do their workouts... when I first went into the gym I was offer the option to take a look around and decide from there and at that moment I know it was the gym for me! This gym has none of that body shamming crap and that's what's awesome cause we all starting somewhere and the start should be at the gym vista! So Specialest thanks and shout outs to Rachel and Todd!!! If you lookin for a good spot to work out and get those gains look no further cause this facility has what you need! read more

Be warned not because you got a membership with the Gym in vista that doesn't mean you can go to the Pacific Beach location or any other location I didn't know that when I signed up literally if you signed up at that gym, you only can go to that location. It's literally BS. It's the same name same company, but you can't go to different locations, so be warned!!! and old machines old equipment everything about it is justold and ran through you're literally better off going to planet fitness I swear at least they keep their place, clean and organized and new machines!! read more

BEST GYM EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I can't believe it took me so long to finally find a "legitimate" gym in California! Everyone here is awesome! This gym means business! read more

I haven't been in 100 miles of this place for over a year, imoved away. But they continue to charge me a fee. No one answers the phone, you can't leave a message, no one answers emails. Now I have a finicial company saying I owe a years worth of fees. And the only way to cancel is in person!?! Screw this place read more

I love this gym! I just renewed my membership for another year, I've made so much progress here. The staff is amazing and helpful with any questions. So many PT and equipment options. Never going back to a commercial gym. If you haven't checked out the gym vista, what are you even doing with your fitness goals. read more

The Pro's of this place.., they have a lot of equipment, open 24 hrs, it seems to be kept clean, now, I guess you can get legal testosterone at the place now, A lot of good looking people there, "but they know it too". The Con's.. The music is so loud at times, you can't even hear your own headphones, The manager seems always mad, with the option of legal testosterone now, that will bring in more people with the black market stuff trying to sell cheaper "buyer beware". At the end of the day, after the novelty of it wears off, it's just another public gym. You'll get out of it what you put in. read more

Slum lords. The place is disgusting, the staff is rude, and its bug-infested. These folks are severely hurting for money and are conducting shady business with that being said. BEWARE: Keep a copy of your contract with you as they will continue to charge you even after you ask to discontinue and the contract is up. Expect to fight with your credit card company. read more

The Gym Vista is a phenomenal place to work out, train, or just get in shape. Tons of free weights, machines, and plenty of space/benches to lift heavy things at your own pace. The staff is always super friendly, as are the majority of the members. Everyone is there with the same mindset: to put in the work in a welcoming gym environment, and get results. If you're looking for personal training, be sure to ask for Jordan. He builds a plan that's tailored to your specific goals, and consistently provides expert technical instruction every step of the way. He focuses on proper form and teaching you to efficiently target individual muscles, as well as safely performing compound lifts as you increase in weight. I have a bad knee that had surgery two years ago, and he structured my workouts to strengthen not just the knee, but all the supporting leg, hip, and core muscles, to where inside of a month I was able to cleanly do squats (a goal of mine) for the first time in almost a decade. Jordan's training is easily the best investment I've made in myself in a long time. read more

Okay people, if you expect World Gym to be like 24-Hour or LA Fitness, then this gym is NOT for you! If you want to work out with people who are athletes, people who take bodybuilding, weight lifting, and fitness seriously, then you found the right place. This place is not for the sensitive types, and people who get offended that there is sweat on the floor, or smells sweat in the air during peak periods. The smell of sweat speaks for the level of commitment of the individuals who trains at this gym, and no one just comes here to use the treadmill to do cardio. Weight lifting is the primary form of exercise done at this gym. It motivates me when I come to this place to work out. I see all the women and men who are hard-core trainers, and lifters, there are not many places like World's gym in North County. The people who work here are super down to earth, helpful, and knows their stuff. They live, breath, and walk the fitness lifestyle. There are so many options of equipment and weights that you can use here, and the atmosphere creates the space for serious lifters. I recommend this place to work out versus the spa-type gyms like 24 or LA. I've had memberships with these two gyms, and it was a waste of my money. I do recommend that you ask to work with a personal trainer at this gym. They do have amazing fitness coaches here (look into Everlast Fitness), and they can create a plan to maximize your workouts here at World Gym. read more

The Gym Vista - Gyms Near Me - Vista, California

Favorite gym I've ever been a member of. Todd, Rachel, Elvira and the rest of this staff have this place so solid and CLEAN. Oh my goodness, the maintenance staff keeps this place in tip-top shape. I love coming here. I feel at home and motivated by all the other members every day I come in. The fact that I can use the sauna is one of the most important factors to me. Also no children, no classes, just straight up old school lifting and working out. Also love that Supreme is right next door for added workout benefits. I've never been to a nutrition/supp shop until they moved in so it's a great mutual relationship. read more

I started going here last year when Covid shut down 24 Hour Fitness but even though 24 is back and I only pay them $69 a year, I wanted to continue going here anyway. It's worth the extra money and Todd being the super great guy he is, worked out a deal for me. The people who go to this gym are not only all serious about fitness and bodybuilding but they're super nice people. The staff is incredible. They greet you and know you and actually care you're there. I can't say enough about how awesome this place, members and staff are. read more

So this place is amazing. I was here for a while as a client until I had to move briefly..amazing gym great environment but HERE is why they are the best. I noticed a charge for my membership after I canceled, this was NOT their fault but a third party company they use. When i contacted Todd he easily could have told me to call the company and figure it out but instead he right away went to work figuring out the issue. Rachel ended up helping as well and within an hour of me contacting them they fixed my issue had me refunded and were apologetic despite it not being their fault. Your local 24 would probably have you mail a notarized letter with a copy of your birth certificate just to cancel a membership. Todd and his gym are absolutely amazing and this is where you need to go. read more

This is by far the best gym. "The Gym" goes above and beyond for its members and its truly appreciated. The vibe here is amazing. Everyone who comes here is focused and passionate about fitness which is nice to see. The staff is outstanding and extremely friendly. Shout out to Rachel, she is the sweetest and most friendly person. She calls you by your first name which makes you feel welcomed. I truly appreciate this gym and it's staff and highly recommend coming here. read more

Many gyms these days.. So you understand each gym has a different feel.. This isnt any Hollywood gym so wearing make-up dosent make since. If your looking for a good workout this is the place. Everyone is very helpful even the people that workout here. The cardio machines need some upgrades but all in all its your above average gym were you work hard to play hard read more

The Gym Vista - New set up they have. Much nicer - Gyms Near Me - Vista, California

Old school lifting gym. Great selection of machines. Gym is dirty though and needs to be cleaned

Oh my God, this review is long overdue! I totally forgot to review this place but I can tell you this is the worst gym in the world! Not only is it the dirtiest gym in the world that I've ever been to and I've lived in like a lot of states due to traveling. I had a six month membership because I didn't want to commit for a full year and only committed for that long to begin with it was because of Covid and they were the only gym that was open. At first, the owner, big angry looking dude Had the worst attitude I've ever met as a business owner. Awesome simple question and gave me complete attitude and I was just completely startled because I'd like a small girl for him to be giving attitude for no reason. They're just as unprofessional as the owners attitude. I can only assume the reason why they kept having their business was because of the fact that they were open during Covid and didn't listen to any other regulations which I was grateful for but the fact that they weren't even cleaning down the place and it was all dusty and so humid where it just felt like if you walked in there and someone had Covid for sure you would get it. I personally don't care about the regulations but I do care about cleanliness as a normal human being and I can tell you that place was disgustingly dirty. I ended up getting a traitor for three months and she was OK but honestly not the best trainer in the world. I had a consultation to try a different trainer out who actually was a worker there and again, same thing attitude. Thank God that everything is now open and I can go to an actual clean gym without disgusting attitude and a disgusting work out space. Although this review may not do anything to their business or change their owner's persona but hopefully you get it inside of what type of place you'll be walking into read more

Solid location. Staff is great and very friendly. This definitely has a good vibe to it. You feel almost obligated to give 110% effort when you're in the weight room because of the community atmosphere around accomplishing your fitness goals. Weekend workouts are perfect because traffic is low so it's almost like being a kid in an empty playground except the kid is a bodybuilder now and the playground is made of iron. read more

Great group of people all gathered to achieve different goals. Everyone is encouraging and without attitude.

It breaks my heart to write this because I actually really loved World Gym Vista. This is the first gym that my husband and I actually felt comfortable in and fit what we wanted out of a gym, it helped that the owner John was always incredibly nice and professional. But this week we (my husband and I) ended our membership there (early) because of a trainer that works there independently who turned the gym into a hostile environment (Randy with Alpha Training 760). A situation arose and the gym decided to stand with Randy on keeping a progress picture on the wall of my husband supporting his company after a big falling out with him and after we asked him to not use it. I think that the gym needs to know that they are losing members by letting a trainer who isn't even employed by them to disrespect, call and threaten members and run members out of the gym. It's disappointing and I would never recommend a trainer there or for someone to go there, when it comes to members, it looks like they don't care. read more

Love the outdoor workout space and the upstairs multipurpose room. This gym has great music and has that old school vibe perfect for both the serious lifter and the beginner I've been here a few times for posing practice as a bikini competitor, group training with my cheer team, and working out. Tod the owner is an awesome guy- highly recommend!!! read more

For the few months I've been in California I've gone back and forth between this one and pacific beach due to working all over the place. *2016/17 update* 1) todd rudely interrupted my workout and told me to leave and still charged me even tho my pass said ANY world gym. Yep charged me and still kicked me. While he charged only 5 that still adds up and my pass said any. *days prior the other guys there accepted my pass there with no issues* 2) todd said pb doesn't accept theirs so they don't accept theirs 3) this location never offered the pass. Period. You smirked, shook your head a year ago and said "we don't offer those passes here" F.uck you jack@ss Haven't been back to this one, and don't plan on returning. This location should have been pushed off the cliff instead of the Glendale location. read more

Good gym and great staff! I followed Tristen and Gabe to their new gym. They are very friendly, motivational and open minded to suggestions. Working out can be a bummer when you don't enjoy it! Although, World Gym Vista is full of awesome "forward" classes and an amazing atmosphere to maintain great health and strive for personal success! I look forward to seeing you there! P.S. TRX training made my stomach feel sore, just the way I like it! Bikini here I come!! read more

One of the best gyms in north county for powerlifting! The staff is always friendly and they are constantly adding new equipment.

World Gym is by far the best hard core gym in Vista. If you looking for a serious gym with history I definitely recommend them. I did a month membership to see if I liked them and I ended up loving it! From the equipment(real equipment) to the atmosphere, it's an awesome gym! read more
