    Chuze Fitness is a local gym club on 3rd ave in SD. They have dozens of locations in So Cal. It's…read morespacious with modern exercise machines as well as weights. Additionally, locker rooms are clean and spacious showers. Staff were nice and affable. Protein bar is great. Overall, I enjoyed my workout.

    If I could give zero stars, I would…read more This comes just days after giving 4.5 stars. I wanted to like this gym. The facility itself is larger than I expected, has the equipment I need, and most of the staff I interacted with were kind and professional. Unfortunately, my experience as a member was overshadowed by repeated issues with member behavior and safety. In less than six months of being a member, I was accosted by three different members. One member threatened bodily harm after being told he needed to wait for a machine. To my knowledge, he was not banned from the club or even asked to leave. Another incident occurred when I asked a young woman not to take photos in the locker room, which should be a basic privacy expectation. A third incident involved a young man standing and watching me while I worked out. When I asked him to move, he became verbally aggressive, yelled at me, called me names, and denigrated me. These are not minor annoyances. They are safety, privacy, and harassment concerns. I understand staff cannot control every member's behavior every second, but when these situations are brought to management's attention, I expect stronger action than what appears to be happening. Members should be able to use equipment, change in the locker room, and complete a workout without being threatened, filmed, watched, yelled at, or insulted. To the on-site manager's credit, she graciously canceled my membership without charging me a cancellation fee. However, I suspect that only happened after I made it clear that I would be contacting corporate if I was required to pay a fee to leave a gym where I no longer felt safe. The gym has potential, and some staff members were helpful when issues were reported. However, Chuze needs to take member conduct, locker room privacy, threats, and harassment much more seriously. A clean facility and good equipment do not outweigh feeling unsafe or uncomfortable during workouts.

    A 5 star rating for Alan!…read more We had an orientation for our two kids now that they are old enough to workout with us and Alan was our coach. From the start of the appointment to the end he was amazing! He shook all four of our hands, asked our kids what their goals were and really tried to interact with them. We went into the workout area and he let both of my kids try any approved machine they wanted and he took the time to really teach them how to use it safely, but with a fun twist. We went outside, he explained all the programs that were relatable to their ages, he said "hey" to other employees and had the kids wave to them and say hi. It was all very natural. Aside from machines, he taught them some dumbbell exercises with the lightest weights and then had them show off their muscles. My kids were excited before, but now they are PUMPED. We never felt rushed, always asked our permission before doing anything for them and really made them feel like they were meant to be there. We ended our appointment with him taking the time to walk us all the way to the doors, handshakes from us and lots of fist bumps from my kids. It's only been a day and my kids can't wait to go back. Thank you Alan for educating my kids, being patient and most importantly making them feel seen and important. Your impression will forever last in their memories and I know they look forward to seeing a familiar face when we all go together.

    Really Nice people and a very clean facility. I use the pool often when I am back to San Diego.read more

    After struggling with a shoulder labrum tear, I spent 6 weeks in physical therapy and honestly did…read morenot see much progress. I was frustrated, still dealing with pain, weakness, and limited mobility, and felt like I wasn't getting the attention or guidance I needed for real recovery. So I reached out to Ryan and within one session, I felt a tremendous difference in my shoulder mobility, pain and strength. He took the time to actually understand my injury, explain the recovery process, and gave me workouts and movements that helped strengthen my shoulder safely and effectively. It's been a week and my shoulder feels so good I am able to move shoulder almost at full range! I have known Ryan for almost about 20 years. The first time I had gone to Ryan I had gone to him about knee pain. I used to wear knee braces because my knees would lock and he helped me strengthen my legs so that I no longer use knee braces and after training with him I have never used knee braces again he showed me the fundamentals of working out and great form and ever since my form is great and it helped me shaped my athletic abilities. I highly recommend Ryan to anyone recovering from an injury, from shoulder to knee issue, someone looking to perform better in their athletic sports or simple as weight loss journey. Ryan's knowledgeable and patient approach made a huge difference in my recovery journey.

    I've been training with Ryan for a year now. What I appreciate about training with Ryan is that he…read morealways has a personalized approach to our workouts. For example, if I didn't get enough sleep (perimenopause is not fun!), then he will adjust my workout to focus on other things. Same If I'm sore in one part of my body, he will have exercises that helps to work through that. He has a great attitude, pushes me when I need to be pushed, and I consider him a friend as he's seen me on my good days and not so good days. I've learned a lot from him and how to generalize my skills learned from our sessions to other exercises outside of our sessions. I highly recommend trying out a session with Ryan; you won't regret it.
