24 HOUR FITNESS @ UTC LA JOLLA…read more Parking is available on the first floor of the Genesee Avenue parking garage. If you're visiting with the 5-day free pass, I highly recommend entering through this entrance because it can be a little confusing to find the gym since it's located underneath the UTC mall. One great perk is that 24 Hour Fitness validates an additional two hours of parking on top of UTC's free one-hour parking, giving you a total of three hours to work out and even do a little shopping afterward. This was actually my first time ever visiting a 24 Hour Fitness. Since I live so close to UTC, I've always wanted to check it out, especially because it's open 24 hours. I originally signed up for the free 5-day trial, but after taking a quick tour, the salesperson was incredibly friendly and even gave me $15 off the regular membership price. That made it an easy decision to sign up. I'm a pretty low-maintenance gym person, so all I really care about is having a clean, spacious gym with plenty of equipment, and this location definitely delivers. There are lots of free weights, machines, and plenty of equipment for both upper and lower body workouts. I also love that they offer cycling classes and are adding Pilates classes soon, which is a huge bonus. My only real complaint is that it can get very crowded during peak hours, especially in the mornings and evenings. Luckily, I work remotely, so I have the flexibility to go during off-peak times when it's much less busy. If you have a flexible schedule, I think you'll have a much better experience. Another feature I really enjoy is the recovery amenities. They have both a sauna and a steam room, which are perfect after a tough workout. My membership only costs $47 a month, which is honestly much cheaper than some of the smaller boutique gyms I've belonged to before. It also includes a guest buddy pass, making it easy to bring a friend along. Overall, I've had a great experience with this 24 Hour Fitness. While it can get crowded during busy times, the spacious facility, wide variety of equipment, group fitness classes, recovery amenities, convenient location, and affordable membership make it a gym I would definitely recommend trying.

They moved the free weights area to the old basketball court, which is larger than before but it's always stuffy down there. NO AC!!! At least they added more squat racks.

Thank you.

This gym has a theft problem. While I was working out, someone got into my locked locker, took the…read morecredit cards out of my wallet, locked it back up, and went shopping. By the time I was done exercising, they spent a total of $2,000 at Nordstrom. I spent weeks dealing with the bank to get my money back. The LA Fitness staff didn't seem to care. They just said that they don't have cameras in the locker rooms, so there's not much to be done about it. There is something the staff could do to prevent theft: greet members when they come in the door! When I come in and scan my barcode, the person at the desk is usually scrolling on their phone, and they don't even look up to acknowledge me. If the staff greeted every person who came in the door, then it would give people the idea that the staff are attentive, and they would be less likely to burglarize lockers. Since this incident, I stopped leaving valuables in my locker and got a different combo lock. Nevertheless, someone got into my locked locker again (I could tell because my bag was rearranged, as if someone had gone through it). On the plus side, this is a huge gym with a ton of equipment. I can usually get onto whatever equipment I need without much of a wait. There's also plenty of parking, and it's a convenient location.

From my personal experience going over the weekend, this is an excellent place to go if you are not looking for traditional strength training. I will say that I was most disappointed with the sense of community here. People don't even seem happy to work out with each other. No one smiles and says hi. Are they not happy to be here? The timing can be kind of convenient, but the vibe was really offputting. Also, do y'all do the same workout Saturday and Sunday? Seems weird.

Originally why I stopped coming was due to how crowded and unorganized it was which was such a deterrent! After the recent remodel with up to 18-20 Squat Racks, additional benches/dumbbells, and more Leg Machines, I started coming here over my favored UTC, but now that UTC downgraded from 11 Racks to 6 and removed the outdoor area in favor of potential Pickleball Courts I will not be going back unless they can bring back what they had before or even better as it's not a great place to go anymore for a Powerbuilding workout. For a Push Pull Leg workout between 3-5 days a week Balboa really hits better now and my only gripes are if they had more of the nice water bottle refill stations and cleaned the bathroom more since people come in from the pool and leave the ground wet, but the plumbing and cleanliness here is still better than at UTC which seemed to not make any changes on that front. If the dumbbells were organized as well that would be great but I can see how hard it is to manage. Overall this is my new home for now and definitely would recommend as it's not as seemingly as crowded before with more equipment availability. 3 stars but I would put 4 if the place itself was more organized and bathroom was always clean and dry!

Taking advantage of a 3 for $36 intro special, I tried out PVOLVE, one of the fitness studios…read morelocated in the newest section of the Westfield UTC Mall. It took me all 3 classes to finally understand what PVOLVE is. Their signature classes utilize a lot of proprietary props and accessories like the p ball (a resistance band that holds a ball that you put on almost like a belt or pair of pants). They do have a weighted training class that does involve light weights (up to 15 lbs). The movements are described as functional. As the instructors teach, they often describe how the movement mimics a movement you'd do in your everyday life like picking up something of the side of the bed or closing the door. There are foundational positions that you frequently work out of involving small, but effective movements. As someone whose done all sorts of group fitness classes, I can honestly say it isn't quite like anything else. While there are components that mimic barre or pilates, it's different. There are a lot of inverted positions in which one foot might be facing forward while the other is moving inward. That was unique and felt a little difficult to get used to, but the instructors are very attentive in helping you get it right. I especially enjoyed Maggie. She was so friendly and I took her classes twice! If you're a first timer, know that you do wear athletic shoes here. They have a nice locker room and changing area. You pick up your basket of props and drop them off at the end of class. Overall, I really enjoyed the classes. I think this studio would be especially great for those recovering for an injury as it feels slightly similar to physical therapy. It's highly accessible and there was a wide age range of participants in the class. The only thing that would prevent me from continuing to come here is the cost. The monthly unlimited membership is $400/month. It's a great workout, but that's a really high cost, even in comparison to many other group fitness studios. The benefit is that it does come with access to their at home classes, but it's still difficult to justify. A single drop-in class is $45. I really enjoyed the class and hope I can find a way to come to another class!

But it's thanks to Justin's leadership the entire team inspires me, whether I'm hearing other trainers across the gym or chatting at the front desk, or moved just a bit extra by daily quotes on the whiteboard. Every hard rep is celebrated with high fives and every day I'm not training, the staff is working hard on my nutrition, my growth, and adjustments for chronic pain. John was there to hear *all* my concerns my very first day, top of which was that I've been recovering from an eating disorder since 2012 and had been fearful of training because of triggering language or incentive. John briefed the whole team for me, and 8 months in I've never once had to explain myself or course correct. They got me, they push me, they celebrate with me, and see me as a person they're really invested in. It's obvious that same level of energy and investment carries to all their clients. Today I feel strong, excited, powerful, and healthy. I fit my jeans again, I'm eating better food, and I'm still completely removed from bad habits, all because the iron orr team carries that weight (and counts for me every rep! ;) ) I've come to love them all as friends and members of a big San Diego community and I'm going to train there the rest of my life, on my way to becoming a ripped grandma.

The machine itself and the variety of workouts you can imagine are wild, but what makes them so fun are the amazing instructors! I have taken class from about 4-5 different instructors but I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE Justine's classes the best! Her energy, instruction, program, music, and style make class so enjoyable, even when she's wiping you across the floor! Her combinations and programming are always challenging, but also dynamic and fun! You enjoy trying to pretend you look as good as they do demoing the exercise, but most importantly, you get a killer workout with the total body conditioning and strength training while it being low-impact. Don't be fooled by the simplicity and ease of doing an exercise - I don't always sweat like a maniac, but I always feel the burn and most times I burn out the muscles! Every other week they rotate the lower body exercise between lunges and squats, but every workout has a total body component that always includes upper body work and core. I found this place on ClassPass, but will likely purchase a package in the near future so the studio can have more direct income. There are several girls I've seen many times, so they have a very loyal and repeat membership. The studio is located on Morena Blvd, shortly before Costco in the PB area. Parking is on the street and not in the Fruit Stand parking lot. Traffic can be a little busy, but I've always been able to find street parking. They have several classes throughout the weekdays, with fewer on the weekend, but still many options. They have a water dispenser, and the studio is always clean and tidy. They also have everyone clean the equipment at the end of each class. I HIGHLY recommend this studio if you want a great workout that's low impact and will really help you strengthen and tone your body! Thank you to Heather, Justine, and the crew for creating such a fun, dynamic studio to tone, lean, and strengthen!

You also use some weights and resistance bands. Justine was my instructor today and she was very attentive. I'm working through a few injuries and she was great as far as offering modifications that would make the work out appropriate for me. As much as I enjoyed the workout, and I will go back, I do have a couple things that keep me from giving the studio five stars. First of all, I found the equipment to not be very clean. The parts of it that you touch are clean, but the components underneath the equipment were very dusty and dirty. I'm talking clumps of stuff on the equipment. And again it's not a part that I'm touching but when I'm leaning over doing a plank on the machine, I'm looking directly down on it. Then when I'm laying on my back, looking up at the ceiling, the big industrial looking vents that are on the ceiling are also covered in clumps of dust and dirt. I feel like these are things that they should be cleaning at least once a month just knowing that the positions that you get in for these exercises, the clients gaze will be directly on them. And judging by the amount of dust and dirt and lint, etc., on the surfaces, it hasn't been done in a very long time. The second thing is the microphone kind of seems a little hollow to me. When the instructor speaks, the music goes down, but then when the instructor stop speaking, the music volume goes back up and sometimes with the volume changing and the hollow sound it's difficult for me to tell what the instructor saying. This might just be a matter of my taste. I can definitely work around it and was able to follow the class because the instructor was really good about demonstrating everything.
