This is a fantastic gym. Several months ago we were looking for a new gym because the "big box"…read morestyle gym we were using was very overcrowded and incredibly dirty all the time. Anytime Fitness in El Cajon came up on our radar on the advice of a friend. This AF is squeaky clean, has a wide variety of equipment, to include accessories like gliders, lifting belts, and fractional weights. The location is secure (as are all AF). You need to buzz yourself in with an app on your phone. This gym is rarely crowded, and when it is, people do not hog machines and are always willing to let you work in sets. The people who attend this gym are focused and serious about their health. The "culture" is one of respect, focus, and cleanliness. People take care of the equipment. Weights get re-racked. If you live in East County and need a place for a solid workout this is your gym.

Ever since I gave birth to my baby girl I've had a hard time getting out of the house and adjusting to self care routines. Joining Haven Fit has given me a chance to regain and build my confidence back after so many changes my body has been through! Maya has done an amazing job at creating a welcoming, safe and clean place for women and has built a great community! Because of Maya's dedication and commitment, I've seen great results in my health physically and even mentally I love that I finally have found a great gym where I feel happy to go to. Maya has been very understanding and accommodating of the times I've had to bring my baby with me to the gym As a first time mother with new anxieties, I do not have to worry about the hygiene and cleanliness of this establishment when i bring my baby. Maya has done a wonderful job at helping me reach my fitness goals, she's attentive, corrects my form when needed and always has knowledgeable advice she shares with me and the rest of her clients! P.s. my only regret is not joining sooner!

I joined Haven Fit because I happened to be in the area and was excited to begin my fitness journey…read moreat a women's-only gym. The facility itself is beautiful, clean, and well-maintained, and I appreciate the welcoming environment the gym provides. However, my experience with the personal training service fell short of what I expected especially considering I paid $420 for a training and meal plan package. From the beginning, I clearly communicated to my trainer that I am a pescatarian and do not eat red meat. Despite this, the meal plan I received included ground beef and other meat options that did not align with my dietary restrictions. This made me feel like my needs were not fully considered or taken seriously. During our training sessions, I often felt that the trainer was distracted. There were several moments when she appeared to be on her phone instead of actively coaching me, correcting my form, or ensuring I was completing my sets properly something especially important for someone like me who is new to structured fitness training. I did not know the trainer personally and came in as a new client hoping for guidance, support, and professionalism. Unfortunately, I did not feel like I received the value I expected based on the price I paid. Haven Fit is a beautiful gym with great potential, but I wish my personal training experience had reflected the same level of care and attention that the facility itself displays.

I've been a member of this gym for a long time, and it breaks my heart to say that I've decided to…read moreleave not because I wanted to, but because the gym I once loved no longer exists under the new ownership. If you're a potential new member reading this, I URGE you do NOT to be misled by the older 5-star reviews. Those were written during a very different era, under a previous owner who poured his heart into this place. The former owner known as (Coach Buzz) was incredibly involved always present, approachable, and genuinely cared about the members and the facility. He took pride in maintaining the gym, ensuring everything ran smoothly, and creating a positive, welcoming atmosphere. It was a place you wanted to be a true community. Unfortunately, things took a steep downturn when the new owners took over. Read this and see why Here's what changed: 1. Inconsistent and Reduced Hours: The gym's hours have become extremely limited, and the reliability has taken a major hit. They advertised plans to implement 24-hour access via a keycard or door system, but that promise has gone unfulfilled I have been waiting since December when they said it was going to be done January latest and not a single change has been made for months and they use the same excuse not. Only that they literally do not reply and read and leave on read. Many members, including myself, waited patiently for these improvements, only to be met with silence and inaction. Open 6am or 6pm ONLY by the way with NO in between. 2. Lack of Ownership Presence: The new owners are BARLEY, if EVER, present. There's no leadership, no sense of accountability, and no connection with the community. You can feel the absence, and it directly affects the vibe and operation of the gym. Previous owner was there 5 days was a week new owners RARELY twice a week. 3. No Improvements, No Upkeep: Since the change in ownership, NOT a SINGLE improvement has been made. Equipment goes unrepaired, maintenance is ZERO I say that because there is roof leak since JANUARY and ZERO FIX has been done ZERO while drilling on the green turf which is a safety HAZARD. Any sort of innovation or upgrade has completely stalled. In fact, it feels like things are slowly falling apart. Previous water dispenser had been perfect for years the second these people came it somehow broke? Even better it still is broken and nothing has changed. Not to mention they RASIED all the PRICES of everything my previous membership was $45 and RAISED TO $65 for absolutely ZERO CHANGE just worsening the place. 4. Broken Promises: What makes this all the more frustrating is the way the new owners sold a vision of growth and upgrades then completely FAILED TO DELIVER.

I decided to do nutrition coaching with Julie because I wanted to learn what I need to eat to fuel…read moremy body and feel my best. That is EXACTLY what I got out of it. At first it sounded overwhelming to count macros and all that but after just 1 week of sticking to Julie's meal plan I was able to mix it up and throw my own meals together. I still drink wine most nights (if I have enough calories left at the end of the day, and I usually do), and I still eat tacos and drink beer on the weekends. Like she always says, it's an 80/20 balance. I'm doing this as a lifestyle change not a fad diet, and I have never felt better! If you're thinking about trying it out but you're intimated, don't be, Julie holds your hand through all of it and makes every aspect of it SO approachable and easy!
