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.

I come here for pilates…read more The pilates is a 4 stars. I like the instructors and the classes are good. The only thing missing is more availability. Their isnt a lunchtime class or afternoon on weekends. So I have to go to 4s Ranch location. The sales pitch is a 1 star. I already knew I was going to come here. I just wanted them to work with me, instead they ended up making me rethink it. I almost said forget it. Their was a lot of "I have $20 voucher but I'm waiting to give to the next person if you dont claim it in an hour" then the next call was, "if you go somewhere else, its just going to cost you $300, so you might as well sign up now" I really dont like BS sales pitches, especially if im telling you I want to join just work with me. Luckily, a sales rep from another location signed me up no problem. The facility is clean, has lots of options and have had no issue since.

Indeed, Jordan, the owner has just unofficially mentioned that he got the space right after we moved out, which I believed he made an excellent move to take this opportunity to expanding his facility right a about time since the Club got busier, and more people coming to join, since they have a real industrial style loft gym with a very friendly, for all ages and kids too! I'm having my daughter joining them for 1 on 1 training soon to get her in shape, Jordan is really dedicated to help others with kickboxing and to get in shape!

I've been working out with trainer Chris for years. Never a repeat workout in all that time. Chris…read moreis super creative with the workouts. He keeps the class sizes small enough to ensure attention to all his clients, teaching proper form all while creating a super fun, high energy workout environment. Chris also tailors one on one sessions to meet specific needs, helping me recover from ACL reconstruction without risk of further injury. His facility is super clean, with top notch equipment. He also offers a variety of class times to accommodate work schedules.

Few things about this gym and services…read more I have been working with the owner for close to 10 years. I can say that the impact this man had in my life has been significant to my overall success and growth as a person. Anytime I think of fitness this man comes to mind. He knows his stuff and more. He knows alternate exercises and variations for those injured or with some sort of issue. I haven't always looked or felt better than after a workout with Chris (Owner), I have tried many other gyms, but there's a reason I at times opt to just take a rest day than to workout with someone else. He knows his stuff and promotes a good atmosphere, if in doubt try him out and experience the difference. I have a 300 lb. pic, I went all the way down to 165 lb at some point and now I'm in between 175 lb and 180 lb. My goals have shifted from weight loss, to muscle, to more lean and whatever life allows me to shoot for, however Chris knows how to get me out of any plateaus I get into. Anytime I recommend someone, it's him

I am glad that my company offers this gym as perk and people from various companies in the same campus can attend this gym as well as the one in Torrey Pines (called Exos Torreyana) and another close to the big Qualcomm and a brewery Karl Strauss (go figure, first zumba, next drinking, what a combo:). Anyways, going back to Exos Campus Point, I love all the classes, I have been going for the past couple of months and have tried many. I like the boxing and also the yin yoga, super mellow and ending with the music coming from those magical bowls. Outdoor yoga is also so refreshing and they make every activity look easy and fun. You can also complete challenges, by doing extra activities and punching a card. After 5 activities you get a shirt. Activities can be from hiking, to cleaning beaches to something different from the day to day activities. Best corporate fitness center ever.

They make fun the punishment you'll inevitably endure. And unlike other F45 locations, they have heavy dumbbells (72 lbs and greater), and showers.

Great gym and classes are always packed!!…read more I've gone to 3 different F45 gyms because I've moved a lot, and this gym is definitely the most packed by far. It's probably because the coaches are so great :) , the location is good, and SD people seem love fitness. I go during the evening classes when everyone is getting off work, and it fills up! I've been to F45 in Venice and Culver City at the same evening class time, and those classes normally have available spots. Coaches are helpful with correcting my form, and Coach Nilou even corrected my breathing -- when to inhale and exhale during a movement. I had no idea what I was doing, and it was something I copied from watching other gymers, so I'm glad she gave me tips! Other gym goers are so friendly, often people will high five or fist bump each other at the end of the workout to celebrate showing up and getting a workout in.

This gym has been by far the best I have been to in terms of workout plans, friendliness, helpful…read morecoaches, effective exercises, and overall great atmosphere. The classes are 9 people max, so it's not crowded. You each have your own station where you have the exercises listed for you to accomplish, demonstrations on how to perform the exercises, guidance on how to perfect your form, and they time it perfectly so that you get each station (there are 3) done in time. I have seen the most positive changes in my body since attending classes here - stronger, toned, and no pain from performing an exercise with bad form. If you are searching for a new gym with planned classes and knowledgeable coaches, I highly recommend giving this one a try!

I have been training with Greg, and he is exceptional. He is extremely knowledgeable in anatomy,…read morephysiology, and training principles, and he always trains you in a way that is safe and injury-preventive. Beyond his expertise, he is a very positive, sunny, and fun person to work with. He has a natural martial arts spirit and great energy that makes every session motivating and enjoyable. Greg always trains with steadiness, safety, and truly personalized lessons. When I started, I was very burned out from work and life, and I wasn't able to exercise much or take good care of myself. His gym has become my "charging station"--I always feel refreshed, energized, and uplifted after each session. I truly feel my mind and body moving in the right direction. I work closely with rehabilitation doctors and therapists, and having experienced many professionals, I can confidently say Greg's knowledge and experience are top-notch and above. He is incredibly caring, kind, and attentive. I strongly recommend Greg to anyone who wants serious, high-quality fitness training. Make the commitment--you will see real change.

I've trained with Anatoliy and met Stan there as well -- these guys are genuine and knowledgeable. I am the type that needs to be challenged, else be bored with the workout; Anatoliy provided that challenge. They have tons of equipment, heavy and speed bags, and UFC on the TV's -- an environment that does inspire me to get stronger. In addition, they have yoga classes on Wednesday nights, spin and yoga on Mondays, and jiu-jitsu classes. Their two-level facility features a yoga/jiu-jitsu room on the second floor, a spin room on the first floor, and am ample, weight-training space in the back on the first floor. Located close to the Sorrento Valley hub of business activity, it's a great place to get a lunch-time or evening workout. I recommend TNB to both those beginning to train, those looking for an overall balance of cardio and strength, as well as experienced levels/competitors. If beer is your thing, they are located across from Green Flash Brewing Company, so you can get that workout in first to balance things out.

This gym is one of the best in San Diego. It's clean, well-run, offers tanning (though the booths…read morecould be a bit cleaner), and has a well-managed, drama-free atmosphere; one of the main reasons I kept coming back before canceling my membership due to the travel demands of my job. Most of the male staff are genuinely friendly, especially Kai (or Kaj I always forget!) with the shaggier hair, and the attractive Latino staff member who's always welcoming. The long-haired guy can be a bit awkward, but he's consistently helpful. The female staff members are usually professional, though friendliness varies. One heavier-set Latina employee is very insistent about reminding everyone they close at 7 p.m. on weekends, and another female employee with longer brown hair barely greeted guests when my husband and I checked in. In contrast, the older white female employee is always warm, professional, and gives strong owner energy. When I had to cancel, Crystal guided me through their new online process, and I was able to cancel and receive my confirmation email right from my hotel while traveling; a huge improvement compared to Plant Fitness's old in-person cancellation policy, which was honestly absurd. Overall, this is the best location in San Diego: clean, drama-free, and staffed with people who mostly care about customer service. Way better than the College location I used to visit while at SDSU. Highly recommend.

However, today I found a tick-like bug in the women's restroom which is highly concerning. Other days, there is a definite "stench"/muggy atmosphere from poor facility circulation and very old equipment such as attachments and mats. Last year, I was one of many customers complaining about how old and falling apart the mats were. For transparency, it took a quite awhile for new mats, and that is a piece of equipment that needs to be replaced frequently. Ultimately, this location is in dire need of a "face lift."

They also have another location in Mission Valley. The front desk staff were polite and efficient, but the interactions felt a bit corporate rather than a genuinely warm welcome. Sign the waiver before you arrive to make things go faster! ---- There's a LOT of amenities here for climbing, fitness, and yoga. They even have a ping pong table and sauna! I really love their website where you can take a virtual tour of their gym, allows you to see the layout of their massive gym. - Strength training area near the front entrance has all the equipment that you'd expect from a full gym including both free weights and cable machines - The cardio area upstairs has treadmills, ellipticals, rowing machine - Ping Pong table located upstairs near the cardio area! ---- There are several different bouldering sections with a variety of routes. When it's busy, the cave bouldering section can be a bit crowded because of their small seating area there. The other sections seem to have enough space though. I would not reccomend this gym for beginners or first time climbers, a lot of the beginner routes are discouraging for true beginners. I came with some friends who were somewhat familiar to climbing and they were saying that the V0s are a bit tough to do. Besides the V0s, the grading is on par with Grotto. I haven't top roped here so I can't speak on that but the area seems to be quite large as well. ---- Something I really appreciate is that they offer free entry days and rentals for anyone a couple of times a year! - API celebration in May - Pride celebration in June Keep an eye out for these days on their upcoming events or their social media if you want to try out this gym or if you want to bring your friends for free! Day passes are $31 and monthly memberships are $110 (+ $100 intimation fee). They have other rates on their website for prepaid options and punch passes. A little thing that I also really like is that they have a suggestion box if you have anything you want to say. ---- Overall: Huge gym, amazing facilities and amenities, nice staff but didn't feel genuinely welcoming, look for the free entry and rental days to try this gym out

(see back muscle pics LOL) Haven't been to indoor rock climbing in a minute but this location is what got me started. This is one of the bigger climbing gyms in San Diego with tons of wall space for both top rope and bouldering. First timer or seasonal climber, you'll fit right in. The staff are awesome - helpful, motivating, and great at walking you through the basics. We opted for belaying lessons and I recommend that for first-timers! The front desk was polite and efficient but may be a bit corporate than warm. Tip: sign the waiver before you arrive. The gym is clean, routes are reset often, and there's a slab wall full gym, sauna plus a small shop with gear and snacks. They also have a Mission Valley location closer to my work! Tempted to check that one out! Overall: 4 stars - solid climbing, great workouts, even yoga, and good vibes. I'd recommend a membership if you really want to commit. They have several options on their website. HSA/FSA eligible too! Great for a group event and birthday outing in my opinion! Just be ready to get humbled (and sore).
