MetroFlex Gym Oceanside - Leg room - Trainers Near Me - Oceanside, California

This gym isn't your typical "corporate" gym but neither are the people. I had recently moved to O'side and was looking for a change of pace and this place provided it. Staff is super nice , gym equipment is leaps and bounds above the gym norm, and the vibe is immaculate for any lifter. I couldn't recommend this gym enough. I can't forget to mention that the lighting is ANABOLIC FIH' STAH read more

Highlight of the day is going to Metroflex in Oceanside. Tremendous selection of free weights, machine weights, and cardio equipment. The staff is solid and the owner is very personable and knowledgeable. Lots of diversity with respect to training levels and goals. There are competitive bodybuilders, powerlifters, and folks who just want to get in good shape. Great overall vibe there. And whether your heads down, listening to music and not wanting to be disturbed while you train or if you appreciate collaborating with others members respect styles. read more

Amazing gym, staff is so friendly and the machines are the best in the game. Shoutout big Lou kindest guy and is extremely cool to have convos with about working out. Proud to call this place home. read more

This is not an average gym...it's an arena. You don't come here to pass time. You come here to be tested, challenged, and transformed. Every session demands effort, discipline, and respect for the work. The coaching is relentless in the best way, the energy is unmatched, and the results speak for themselves. This is where excuses are left at the door and strength (mental and physical) is forged. If you want real progress and a gym that pushes you beyond what you thought was possible, this is where warriors are made. Truly 1 of 1. read more

This place has given me the best gym experience I've ever had. They are welcoming, friendly, they have the best equipment, the best trainers, the owners are amazing and are just the best people. I can't say enough good things about this gym, it's like a family. Would highly recommend to anyone and everyone, whether you are just starting out your workout journey, or whether you are looking to build up and compete, they will welcome you with open arms. read more

My favorite Oceanside Gym. They have a room for everyone, wether it's an upper body, back, leg, or cardio day they're equipped for any workout you may want to do. Paul the owner is friendly, motivating, and has created a wonderful community for everyone to come and enjoy a great workout at. Especially focused for body building and weight lifting, you won't regret joining this wonderful gym. read more

Came in here while charging my Tesla after a two hour drive and I needed to use the restroom. They said no public access to the restroom and then I offered to pay because when you've gotta go you gotta go and she charged me $10 to use the restroom. I then asked if I could work out while my car was charging and she said it would be $20 for the day. I'm writing this because that what ridiculous policy, it's free to write a one star review (: I understand wanting to keep the homeless out but ripping off somebody who needs to use the restroom for $10 is pretty petty. So here's your petty 1 star review. I came in 1:15 pm on 1/28 and spoke with the girl working the counter. Would not recommend anybody charging a Tesla walk in here. - Louise seemed very delusional in his response. There was no policy waiver signed so I'm positive he either made that completely up to back petal or his employee broke his policy. Either way it's a terrible policy. If the business can't afford toiletries then I suggest you find new management because that's a very poor excuse that will remain on this review public for anybody who was willing to read it. read more

Was just visiting and definitely a bodybuilder's gym. Alot of great equipment with the majority on I'd say chest and back specific machines. Great great equipment, and would highly recommend for the bodybuilders out there. Awesome welcoming atmosphere and front desk people were great :) read more

This gym is incredible. Every gym claims to have the state of the art equipment, but MetroFlex actually has the tools you need to meet your goals. The vibes in here are absolutely immaculate. Amazing LED stage lighting throughout, and again equipment that isn't just going to improve your flexibility but is primary going to help you meet strength and physique goals. The staff are all super friendly and welcoming as well, there is no judgement no matter what level fitness you currently have. Overall, this is hands down the best gym I've ever been to and I hope to see its membership grow. read more

Terrible ownership. Facilities are fine, but he fosters a terrible environment for gym goers. read more

Amazing gym!!! Super clean gym all around, amazing and super nice staff!! Convenient location as well.

Best gym is California hands down! Old school, good lighting, good vibes and people. Great equipment open 24/7. Can't beat it

If you're looking for a true lifting gym this is it. There are machines for every single muscle group but also machines that target smaller muscles you don't see often. I enjoy the fact that there is such a diversity of people on their fitness journey. You don't feel intimidated or uncomfortable because there's all shapes, sizes, skill levels, and ages working out. Everyone is respectful and focused. The main thing I appreciate is every single time I walk in this gym they are doing something to improve it. So many gyms I've gone to in the past you end up paying for fees and never see them go to use. Since joining they have upgraded the check in System, painted, gotten several new machines, all current machines are always fixed within a day if broken. They have expanded their merch display, the bathrooms have gotten upgraded. It shows they really care about the space and creating a hardworking, no BS, gym atmosphere and community. 10/10 recommend read more

One word: Solid! Great customer service, the best supplements, amazing equipment, good people. This place will feel like your second home. read more

Super sick gym with all new equipment will definitely be back when I'm in the area. Wasn't too crowded so didn't have to wait too long for anything and overall fire gym read more

Ultimately this was my go to gym every time I came in a visited Oceanside area for the past couple years, it has changed a lot when it comes from the way it looks and the vibe. I came in recently and I lost respect for this gym. As I walked in I wasn't greeted I was faced with an attitude by what it seemed like a stuck up teenager up front working the front desk who didn't know what she was doing or talking about she may had seemed 18-19. She didn't even seemed to care all she was doing what seemed to be gossiping with her fellow friends at the front desk instead of doing her job and helping out a value customer ... I was appalled that these are the type of people they are having "run" the gym. I didn't catch her name but she was very blonde and seemed very young . Other than that the gym and upgrades were amazing since the last time I came to visit Just the employees seemed very young and had a bad attitude. Maybe they should think about hiring more mature minded individuals instead of these youngsters who obviously no nothing about running a business let alone a gym. read more

Lots of great old school equipment and not very busy even during the afternoon and evening hours.

Great environment all the workers are chill and the price is great for how big the gym is i highly recommend!

Extremely clean, well equipped gym with friendly and helpful staff. Owner is awesome!

This is a great gym, very welcoming and has a great member base. The equipment is amazing and has one of the best leg rooms around. Plus the gym is open 24/7 365. read more

I've moved all across the U.S., and one of my first priorities upon arriving in a new city is finding the right gym. More often than not, it's a challenge to find a facility that offers a serious, goal-driven atmosphere without unnecessary distractions. Metroflex stands out as the absolute best gym I've come across. From its spacious layout to the unique combination of old-school and modern specialty equipment, everything is designed with performance in mind. The staff is incredibly professional, knowledgeable, and always willing to help with any question or concern. What truly sets Metroflex apart, though, is its community. The members are driven, experienced, and respectful, focused on their goals and encouraging of others. There's a genuine sense of camaraderie here, where sharing advice and support comes naturally. If you're serious about your fitness journey and want a place that matches your dedication, Metroflex is it. This gym is the real deal, a powerhouse environment built for results. read more

The question you must ask yourself before joining, is: must a body builder's gym be a dump? Unfortunately the answer at Metroflex Oceanside - is a resounding - Yes. When I check out a gym I look for a variety of things, including a decline free weight bench, a seated freemotion (cables) chest machine, Dynamax medicine balls, Airex foam balance pad (for doing shoulder dumbbell exercises with one knee on the pad), bosu balance trainer, hex trap bar for squats, a prowler/dragging sled, TRX straps, and a cable crossover machine where the arms may be adjusted across a full 180 degrees both vertically and horizontally. I also like to see free weight dumbbells in 2.5 lb increments at the low end, for example, 20 lbs, 22.5, 25, 27.5, 30, 32.5, 35, 37.5, 40 etc. I like to see both a dry sauna and a steam room, inside each locker room (or at least in the common area, such as in 24 Hour Fitness Super Sports). When a gym has all this, it tends to also have whatever else is needed for a great workout in terms of machines, weights and aerobic machines. Metroflex has some of the above (it is missing most all of the 2.5 lb increment smaller dumbbells, and the 55 lb. dumbbells entirely), and no seated freemotion chest machine, no weight sled (no room for it) and absolutely no cable crossover with any sort of horizontal adjustment - the closest you will get the arms on the one and only machine they have where the cables will even adjust vertically, is about ten feet apart. (When the gym is busy, the wait for their one and only vertical adjusting cable crossover machine may be long.) No sauna or steam room - showers only. Very skimpy also on the aerobics equipment (most are broken down or old. There are currently only one or two working lifecycles (the rest are either broken or yellow taped off to enforce social distancing), and only three working treadmills of which not none works properly (none capable of going above 5 mph)). Also on the minus: many of the machines are slapped on the floor at random angles - perhaps to accommodate coronavirus social distancing, but in any case, this creates a haphazard look. The rear part of the gym gives the appearance of a graveyard of unused equipment, and even on the regular floor there are a couple of machines with yellow tape on them or hand written signs indicating "broken." It is also hot as hell and humid in the back parts of the gym whenever the temps are anywhere above 80 outside - I wear a mask always and am sweating profusely - notwithstanding the various fans that are grossly inadequate to cool the place during warmer summer months. No AC. There are different kinds and brands of equipment here - which may be good, in that it offers varying ways to hit the same muscles, but this also gives a general mishmash look to the place - no consistency. Paper towel dispensers and disinfectant bottles are often empty, leaving only rags to wipe down equipment. Trash cans in lockers room often overflowing. The gym is not very clean - there are years of caked on dust on some of the fans. I have come to the gym and noticed an old mask or crumpled paper towel on the ground under a machine, and come back two days later and seen the exact same trash in the exact same place still on the ground. Clearly no one keeping this gym very clean. Masks are optional on the floor - and typically, I find myself the only one wearing one. I really wish that everyone indoors would wear a mask during coronavirus pandemic. In all, we're grateful to have a gym open during lockdown to get our lift on, and the owner Lou seems like a very nice guy and a supporter of free choice, but he could run his gym a little better, keep it more tidy and clean it more frequently. (And - although they claim there is great airflow in the gym - go from this sweltering gym to something like EOS Encinitas with its massive ceiling fans and thirty foot ceilings, and you'll feel like you've left the cramped depths of the Underworld for the great outdoors, for less too than Metroflex's $30./mo.) The staff could do a better job of policing members who sweat all over equipment and then do not even wipe it down - although few and far in between, there are such offenders, and these offenders all tend to wear tank tops so that they sweat even more all over the benches that they refuse to wipe down! Towels recently became mandatory, maybe this will help. When there's no other choice, this place gives you at least a place to work out - but otherwise, not a gym where we would remain members until it steps up its act. I suppose it "works" for like minded body builders, but maybe they just don't know better that there are so much nicer gyms out there that aren't dirty sweatboxes. With a little better management, and regular cleaning, this place could be so much better. In writing this review my intention is not to put Metroflex Oceanside down, but rather - I hope - inspire it to improve. read more

Used to be my favorite gym. Stopped going when it got all fancy. Went from grungy old school bodybuilding vibes to social media fitness influencer vibes. Kinda a shame. But to each their own. Still buy from the cage. read more

Been going to this gym for over 4 years and I love the environment. All kinds of like minded people and made some great friends here. Paul, the owner, is seriously one of the nicest guys you will ever meet! He is really personable and always will help anyone out l. Love this gym. Lots of new equipment and renovations Highly recommend! Thanks Metroflex for being awesome. read more

I've been going to Metroflex in Oceanside for 2.5 years now. I've had personal coaching by Paul and I can honestly say I've seen the best results I've ever had. Metroflex has the best equipment, coaches, staff and overall customer service. Highly recommend. read more

I joined the gym about six months ago. Since then there has been numerous new and unique equipment brought to the gym. The community is very welcoming, as someone new to bodybuilding I have been welcomed in and always treated with respect. I often have questions about the equipment and the front desk and other members are always helpful and patient in explaining how to use it or answering my questions. It is nice to train with focused and professional people that take this sport seriously. Thank you metroflex for all you do for us! We love it here read more

Super welcoming! They have anything you can possibly think of I've been training with PJ he's awesome! I'm new to this but he's been a great help I've never felt so happy with my body! The whole gym is split into 3 main spots. 2 mainly having mirrors and they're nice Big mirrors great for posing! If you're looking for a new place to start you guys should look into here! read more

Absolutely love Flex Academy at MetroFlex Gym Oceanside - hands down the top bodybuilding gym in Southern California. The results-driven trainers and genuine smiles make it a no-brainer. Grateful my husband and I found authentic coaches. As a member since June 2023, the upgrades in aesthetics and unique equipment set it apart from other gyms - couldn't be more pleased. read more

This is by far the best gym in Oceanside with a reasonable price! Guys like Paul are willing to work with you and take in your story. This gym has an extremely diligent and focused community without the intimidation. Freedom to train however you desire without judgement. If you live in Oceanside and are considering a gym for long term, this is a no brainer. read more

This place is horrible. I signed up here a while ago because of their stance on covid and so forth, but man was it not worth it. I legit feel like I waisted $120 for nothing, and more headaches then anything. Front desk women was never helpful and typically pretty rude whenever I would approach her. Also, the owner Lou is something else man. One of the most unprofessional guys I have ever met, and hear about in other gyms(not in a good way). All of the equipment in this place has to be at least 15+ years old, and holding on for dear life at this point. Never mind the cleanliness of said equipment or facility (everything looks and feels gross). That is just one thing. We can start going down the list about this place. Another example being after I finally couldn't deal with the toxicity of this gym anymore canceling was a nightmare. Never returns calls or messages super professional type stuff you know. If you enjoy going to a gym where your not a body builder or a show competitor then have at it. Not only management and staff make you feel out of place, but so does most of the body building gym bros the go here. The owner will publicly shame you on social media to draw attention to you for not re-racking weights. I get it like general gym rule is re-rack them, but apparently the owner Lou thinks its appropriate to shame you on social media for said thing. Because apparently that's a thing. So no I do not recommend this place. Go somewhere else probably for cheaper, newer equipment, and over all better atmosphere. read more

Five Stars! Metro is an Awesome Gym! Paul is the best and he really cares about the overall experience and atmosphere of the business! All of the upgrades are phenomenal as well. It is nice to see a business in Oceanside that believes in community, excellence, and amazing customer service! Highly recommended! read more

Metroflex is so much deeper than "a gym where you lift heavy weights." Metroflex is a community where the culture helps you build your foundation, where you gain your voice, envision the person you want to become and then become that person. It's a place to improve, fail, learn and try again without judgement. It's a place of encouragement. It's the community that brought me my two best friends, Emily and Lexi. It's the community where my husband and I go to better ourselves mentally and physically. It's more than a "gym," it's a mindset. read more

I recently had seen the new renovations and wanted to go try out the gym and couldn't have been more surprised with the way this gym has transformed into the SD County Mecca, if you are in the area and looking for a hotspot gym. This is it. read more
