My husband spends winter in San Diego and so I spend the holidays there with family. I was looking…read morefor a place that would let me pay for one month without any registration fee etc. And this place is it. In contrast to the the gyms that are all so expensive (probably offer value to those who want trainer, group sessions etc., I just needed a place to lift and pump) and this place is wonderful. Large, spacious, so many different machines and loads of free weights. I also LOVE the people, both staff and the community. Really inspiring and supportive. As a middle aged mom/newcomer, I usually find new gyms intimidating. Everyone is so lovely, so committed to their practice, and lifting up others. You can also do passes for the day or week. Cannot wait go to back when I am back in the area.

Sad about this gym experience…read more I went on a Thursday at 10 and it was crowded with influencers. It truly felt like everyone was in a photo shoot rather than to lift. The gym is great probably when it is not crowded and different clientele. If you don't mind that vibe then this gym is your place! Parking was filled, no street parking. The gym looks a lot bigger than what it is. The guy at the front was cool, nice, good staff. They had the music really loud which was rad, loved that.

had a feeling this would happen -- and it has…read more The gym is now overcrowded for its size. One elliptical, five treadmills, and 28 people in a small space means a lot of waiting instead of working out. After a deposit, an additional $130 at 90 days, and $60 a month, reasonable access shouldn't feel like a competition. If you enjoy timing your workouts around equipment availability, this may work for you. If not, it's something to consider before signing up.

I really liked this YMCA. Was in the area for travel, I am a national member, got in without any…read morehassle. I go for the swimming pool and this pool was superb. Plenty of room and lanes. People here are accommodating and know the rules and work with you on sharing lanes if it gets crowded. But the pool here is one of the best I have been to in all the YMCA's I have swam at. It would be my regular go to swim place if I lived in the area. Parking can be a challenge but you can always find a spot.

I go here for swim and water exercise classes. Swim facilities are nice, but be prepared for bad…read morecustomer service somewhat regularly. Today I showed up for a water exercise class only to be told it's canceled. No notifications to me beforehand, no emails, and the online pool schedule still shows the class as happening. Annoyed. But it was the lackluster attitude from the front desk employee that made me go from annoyed to pissed off. There was another older lady who'd shown up for the same class, and similarly frustrated. The employee gave her some attitude and implied it was her fault for not knowing, "There's a board out front that says it." Well I went to the board and it's in extremely fine print, and there are several other boards there too, who reads all that. Plus you only see it once you're at the gym, so you already wasted time to get there. I told the front desk employee the online schedule needs updating. She stuck to her story, "It's on the board." I asked what other classes are happening now, maybe I could attend another since I'm already here and this is my time in my schedule to exercise. The employee looked at a schedule and said 3-4 random class names, times and studios. I asked to see the sched so I could browse it. She gave it, and I picked out a potential class. She said, "Oh see this schedule is no good." Ok so what's the point then? I asked her for her name. "Vi," she said curtly. I asked for her last name, she said, "I don't have to give you my last name." Wow! It was evident that this person had no desire to help me. Nor did she really know anything about the schedule of the day. Nor did she know much about how to resolve customer issues. Nor did she care. If this is all Vi does at her job, then just have a computer do it. At least a computer will give real information and won't give me attitude. Another time, my family came for family swim and the pool was short staffed on lifeguards. They made every family wait poolside until somebody in the pool left, to keep their ratios. Some poor families sat there waiting for 30 minutes. The lifeguards were terrible at communicating what was happening, why, or how it would be resolved. Then in the middle of the pool time, they made EVERYONE get out of the pool and take a "mandatory break" for 5 minutes. No idea why, no explanations. It was ridiculous.

This is an initial review since I don't know the prices. But walking in you immediately know that…read morethis is where serious people come to get their workout. No, it isn't full of body builders, but it's meant for those serious on getting fit and or losing weight. Some of the equipment is rusty or has seen better days, but it works, and that's all that matters. They have everything you need as far as machines and free weights. I know that they have some personal trainers that work here (I don't think they actually work for the Lab) and they are always working with a client helping them on form and workouts. I personally work with Big Mike (Michael Williams) and the guy is amazing at helping you reach your goals. I will forever come here from now on so that I don't have to wait for the "selfie gym bunny".

I've been coming to Fit Mission since it opened about 6 years ago. I love it so much that when I…read moremoved away for a year I literally kept my membership on a freeze! The space is always completely clean as they have great janitorial staff and they don't allow gym bags in the workout area. They also have every machine you would want to use. The locker rooms and amenities are great from a sauna, steam room, shower, cold plunge and pool. I would say parking gets a bit difficult on the weekends and even weekdays during the summer, but it makes for a great run or walk on the boardwalk to get there if it is that busy. Less busy hours in the actual gym are anywhere from 9am-2pm which is my favorite time to go. Eric is the branch manager there who I have know since starting, and he has taken care of me through and through no matter what. He is extremely competent, warm and has wonderful customer service. I highly recommend asking for him and he will work with you for whatever you need!

They tried to sell me a weekly pass to enter for like $40. Don't come here. Not worth it. Also, this parking lot and garage structure has a lot of homeless folk and transient people in cars. Sketchy vibe. They don't appear to have a security or parking attendant. Skip this gym! Check out somewhere else.

The gym is huge to start so it is almost guaranteed that the machine you want will be available, even during peak hours. They really pride themselves on cleanliness and that is the most important aspect to me. Members are always wiping down their equipment before and after use and the employees are periodically cleaning all around. The locker rooms & restrooms are spacious with many spots available so that there is no stalling between guests. The amenities are wonderful - sauna, steam, tanning, gym equipment, kids club - EVERYTHING!! Do a 7 day trial and I promise you will be anting to sign up on day 3!

During my initial tour of the Mission Valley location, the express circuit was highlighted as a…read morestandout feature -- a time-efficient way to get a full workout in during a busy workday. It was the primary reason I joined. Unfortunately, the circuit has never functioned as described. Staff doesn't enforce the intended rotation, and members routinely treat the machines like standard equipment -- sitting between sets, often on their phones, with no regard for others trying to move through. When I asked to work in during rest periods, I was met with outright rudeness. Even when staff stepped in to explain the circuit guidelines, members pushed back. A gym is only as good as the culture it cultivates. Enforcing the features you sell -- and holding members to basic courtesy standards -- should be non-negotiable. This gap between what was promised and what I experienced is why I cancelled my membership. I was also sold a personal training package by their independent in-house fitness training company and it was also not as presented--the trainer didn't listen to me, cut my session short, and never gave me the exercise plan as promised. I'm still fighting to get my $379 back for this.

Started doing personal training with Natalie S. After one session I feel like a whole new person. She listened to my concerns and my goals and tailored a regimen to my specific needs. Love the Chill Zone - just wish it was included in the membership instead of $20 a session (you do get one free session per month which is nice). The infrared sauna is a great warm down! Grateful for this community and excited to try out more classes. Just wish there were more offerings, the classes I like are only offered once a week.

The sled was a lot of fun as my current gym does not have one. Towels are available at the front desk, and the locker rooms are clean, spacious, and well-appointed with showers, a large vanity area, and motivational signage throughout. The stretching room was a standout, offering assisted stretch machines along with open floor space for mobility work. The Chill Zone is an additional premium amenity--members receive one complimentary session per month, with additional sessions available for $20. Overall, it's a polished, well-equipped gym with thoughtful amenities, ideal for those who plan to fully utilize everything the club offers.
