Solid gym it's old school people are in their own world and you can ask the people who work out there for help and they'll gladly do so. The atmosphere is 80s as a bonus. read more

This used to be fitness world but it is now ultimate fitness. This is my gym. I have a thing against planet fitness and this is all I need to fit my gym needs. They recently got new equipment and honestly, it is much better run than the old gym that was here before. They respected my previous membership fee and staff is nice and courteous. Don't be afraid to join. read more

The gym is good but i give it two stars since they charged me for over 8 months after i had requested to cancel I was told to wait out the year and then i would have to renew But to my surprise it renewed on its own and they gladly kept charging When i asked what happened all they said was "miscommunication" and "wrong wording" Basically i was SOL read more

It's an okay gym, I been with them for a year at fist I thought they were just starting to put machines so I didn't mind the lack or treadmill but one day I came in and saw posters fat shaming people that wanted treadmilles so they could walk and look at their phones, since then I haven't liked this gym but I guess is okay for body building I'm trying to cancel my membership but they make it really hard read more

Ultimate Fitness - Not the best - Gyms Near Me - Chula Vista, California

I've been frequenting commercial gyms since I started working out many moons ago. They're convenient in pricing and location, but they're so frustrating. I can't tell you how many times my gym has raised the price on me without warning and an *explicit * explanation fit doing so. But somehow my boyfriend stumbled upon UFC on Instagram. I took a look myself and thought it wasn't really what I was looking for and is far from my house. However, we went one day on a free guest pass to try it out and I LOVE it here. It's a no frills gym. There's machines, free weights, plenty of squat racks, deadlift stations, and a variety of bars to fit your needs - that's just in one room! There's a functional training room with tires, TRX, more squat racks, and some cardio equipment in the next room. There's also a jiu jitsu/muy thai mat in the back. The vibe is always super chill from the owner to the patrons. I love coming to this gym. read more

Love it here!!! Awesome core classes with Benny & Sergio but Core specific express with Houston is a must you won't be disappointed. Great Zumba classes want to get a great workout check out Anna's class she's an amazing instructor she will make sure you break a sweat!!! By far the best gym, what are you waiting for join today!!! Gym will be expanding which means join now before prices go up!!! read more

I prepaid my membership last year at 3rd Avenue location. Paid $180, which it would had been cheaper to pay month to month or stop coming at all. I mean who wasn't bothered when they closed down 3rd Avenue. Time and location is a big deal to me. As you walk into the gym you come into the free weights section. To your left; you have the ellipticals (6), stairmaster (2) MAIN and ONLY cardio machines other than the stationary bikes (10). NO treadmills. All machines are running smoothly, but equipment and floors are still filthy. I've said this before, you pay for what you get. I can't imagine how this place gets when its prime time since you got a Walmart across the street and i believe the main focus of this gym are the group classes. The merge with Family Gym had me nervous with the changes, but again I'm waiting until my membership expires. Til then, HAPPY TRAINING. read more

I love this place!! I have been going there for a couple years now, just what you need to get a great workout ‍ friendly and helpful staff

Love this place. Affordable, and never too busy. I go for the heavy bags and matted area. Highly recommend this gym!

So I Had a day pass and let's start with the positives: Great space and all, good equipment, convenient location, now let's go to the negatives, oh boi: As I was working out I couldn't help but notice a dude sticking his ass out with exaggeration, look, I have no problems with what he does with his all and all but the weird thing was the two dudes in the counter staring at the ass, it was a little uncomfortable since their demeanor displayed that they were getting aroused; I felt as if everyone stared, and some dudes moan while they do their workouts which is a little strange, the atmosphere isn't pleasant because of all the ass staring. So overall good place if you don't mind those things, not gonna lie I did get hella dumbfounded by them read more

Very good gym. Don't listen to any negative reviews. They are rare and very few. They have cardio classes, Olympic weights and Ju jitsu classes. Good friendly staff. I been with then since they opened up.. Ask for Benny tell him XTRNL sent u and he'll hook u up with something... read more

Worse experience ever! Purchase a Groupon then told them I wanted to cancel my Groupon membership and they kept charging me for over 7 months! Don't waste your time in joining this gym! Better gyms around town with better equipment and friendlier staff. read more

This gym is amazing. The core specific class is awesome, the staff encourages and motivates you, they also get to know you. This type of gym is a gym where a members are not just a member but a friend. They have free weights, plenty of space in case you want to set up a little station, punching bags, and it's clean. Ive gone to other gyms but this feels like home. read more

do yourself a favor and dont sign up for to this gym! they are beyond shady!!!! signed up for no contract (which of course is extra) explained to them that i had to move cities and they are still charging me 60 bucks for canceling .... tried to talk to them and of course no use. not worth it at all! the equiptment is old, rusty,and missing parts the bathrooms are always broken no lockers ... your belongings are kept in some kind of kindergarten cubible for anyone to take plus you have to pay for storing!! it's always dirty !!! and the staff isnt even that nice you are better off just going to a nice 24 hr fitness gym and pay the same price expect better quality or the planet fitness next door where they actually have nice working equipment for a fraction of their price... horrible ...just horrible .... read more

For the price point, this facility offers an exceptional value. If you are are serious about working out and improving your overall health, I highly recommend Ultimate Fitness Center. This gym is a pleasant departure from the typical "health club" experience, i.e. There is a conspicuous absence of multiple rows of cardio equipment or other superfluous items. Instead the EMPHASIS is on heavy free weights with ample squat racks, benches and dumbbells/barbells. For members who follow a crossfit regimen, there is a separate and dedicated floor space for Olympic lifts and core specific training (rings, pull-up stations, wall balls, kettle-bells etc)- a must for WOD's. It is worth noting that I was assisted with the sign up process by Houston. There were no "up-sell" or "switch and bait" tactics which are often employed at most other commercial gyms when signing up perspective members. He was forthright and honest in providing information to all of my questions and concerns. I appreciate both his professionalism and integrity. I encourage anyone reading this review to visit the facility and speak with Houston. read more

Okay so first of all I'm 18. These front desk people are the rudest I've encountered. Not only did they reject me they ridiculed me for having my other gym member ship paper. The gym paper has my birthdate and even a picture of me from my id. The guy was the rudest and made me not even want to try out this gym. Screw you guys. read more

My fave gym! Awesome staff, lots of equipment-Cross fit area, cardio room, boxing bags, speed bags, plenty of parking, NO BS RULES such as "other" gyms, and people are there to actually workout...REALLY! They could use a treadmill or two but there's lots of other cardio equipment. read more

This review is LONG overdue . . . I've been working out consistently at this gym for about 2 years now. I've never used the equipment side unfortunately, I'm on of those people who has no idea what to do at the gym or what machines to use or i don't hold myself accountable. This gym offers core specific class at 5:30am with Benny and at 5:30pm and 9:00pm with Houston and 8am in Saturday's with Houston. These classes are the BEST!!! I've done every diet out there and tried to work out but it wasn't until i started coming to these classes that i actually noticed a change in my body and became stronger. How it works is that there are different stations set up and you do eat station for about 1.5 minutes. Each day is a different work out that targets a different part of your body. I normally attend the 9:00pm with Houston. He has pushed me to limits i didn't even know we're possible for my body. If you want to be pushed to be the best athlete he will push you but if not he will respect you at whatever level you are at. Despite having a class full of students he still manages to give you one on one attention and advice during the class to ensure you have good form and offers any suggestions he sees fit! This isn't like those big chain market gyms where they could give a crap about your progress, i use to work our at LA fitness and as long as i paid my monthly payment they could care less about what i was doing in terms of fitness goals. Usually they would just give attention to the people who pay for personal training. Well at Ultimate Fitness Center legit all the employees care about your success and assist you in meeting your goals. I recently injured my back and Coach Houston was able to modify work outs and teach me some good stretches. Yes it's not as big as other gyms with all the amenities but what you get here is a true family that wants to help you reach your fitness goals and become stronger! read more

If youre the type to ask for the manager when there is some slight inconvience, this is not the gym for you. The equipment is outdated. But 50lbs is 50lbs in San Diego, in China or in 1999. If you want a social club where you can ocasionally pick up a dumbell, this is not the gym for you. Most people come in, do their thing and head out. Id love to give them 5 stars but then I wouldnt be honest. They can improve in their weekend hours and the bathrooms suck. Regardless I dont expect to switch gyms anytime soon. read more

Really good gym! Just wish they had longer hours on the weekend. They have all the equipment I'd ever need to get my workout done!

I was referred to this gym by one of my family members. I've always had 24 hr fitness and I wasn't looking to get a second gym . I went to check it out and took a tour. After speaking with Houston I was very impressed with his customer service and decided to sign up . He took great care of me and was very informative .He invited me to attend his Core specific class M-TH @ 9pm so I decided to give it a try . After the first class I was hooked , this class is amazing. You get a tremendous full body work out in 30 minutes, the work outs are different everyday and he is very attentive to all the people participating in the class . Houston is a great trainer and really takes the time to ensure you are doing the workouts correctly , Houston also motivates you and makes sure everyone in the class is improving . This is now my # 1 gym and in 3 months I've improved my overall strength and endurance tremendously . I recommend this gym to everyone. read more

This gym has been around since 1996. I've been a member since 2001. The original location was great and this one on Oxford is awesome!!! It's close to my house and it's got everything a "serious" fitness person needs to get in shape. There is a planet Fitness right in front and a new Chuze Fitness about 2 miles from this location but if you want to get in "real" shape, Ultimate Fitness is the gym you need to train at. They have everything a real athlete needs and less expensive than cross fit, and transformation camps, I highly recommend this place. read more

I was looking for a place around where I work and I found this place... I have been a member for a little over a month now and I'm very happy... it's clean and the people here are nice... I think the owner is named Rob or Robert... he is super nice the couple of times I have talked to him... he genuinely wanted to make sure I have been happy here and I have... it's nice to finally see someplace that values your business!! read more

I've been a member of the original Ultimate Fitness Center on 3rd Avenue. I really enjoyed the hardcore environment. When they relocated to the new location on Oxford I wasn't too excited because after 4 years I became accustomed to the old gym. I went and tried other facilities like Chuze which is up the street on 3rd Avenue, beautiful facility a lot of great amenities but just did not have the hardcore serious training environment I was used to at Ultimate Fitness. I also heard rumors that Planet Fitness will be opening in Chula Vista so I went online and did some research on that club, it is a complete joke, beautiful facilities but do not have what I was looking for- free weights only go up to 65 pounds really?? Members at Ultimate Fitness have mentioned they will be expanding and building an elite training area within the gym for multi functional training etc. So Ultimate Fitness Center will keep me for many more years this gym has been good to me and not to mention an awesome gym for serious training. read more
