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.

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.

Go to this fitness studio if you want to get one hell of a workout. It is Pilates inspired. You do…read moremost of your exercises on a machine that similar to a reformer but you actually change the incline on it depending on what you're doing. 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.

I have been coming to Infinite Fitness for about 1.5yr and have done almost every workout (i.e…read more cardio/aerobics, tabata, Crossfit, HIIT, static weight training/lifting, DNS, sports, boxing, Pvolve, yoga, floor pilates) you can think of; however, what I love most about this studio is what an insanely difficult and challenging workout you can have by using a GRAVITY® Training System (GTS), to provide total body conditioning using resistance training. 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!

Great staff with an actively involved studio owner, which is always good for business. Unlike at other F45 locations, they took the effort to order heavier dumbbells, up to 66 lbs.

The only con as of this review is there are no showers, unlike at most other F45 locations I have frequented.

SOLIDCORE @ LA JOLLA…read more Parking is available in the shopping center lot. Since this Solidcore location is tucked toward the back of La Jolla Village, there are a lot of surrounding restaurants and stores, so the parking lot can get pretty busy, especially on weekdays and weekends. I was still able to find parking without too much trouble, but I would recommend giving yourself a little extra time just in case. I've been to Solidcore a couple of times before, but I'm usually more of a gym girl than a Pilates person. One of my friends has a Solidcore membership and had a "bring a guest" pass for the month, so I was excited to join her for a full-body class that focused mainly on biceps and legs. The studio itself is pretty small compared to other Solidcore locations I've visited. Since classes run back-to-back, the lobby and locker area get crowded with people coming in and out. We took the 50-minute class from 4:10 PM to 5:00 PM, although they also offer shorter 30-minute classes. Going into the workout, I wasn't exactly sure what to expect. Since I was still learning the movements, I found myself watching my friend and the people around me to understand the exercises better. Thankfully, it wasn't too difficult to catch on, and I really enjoyed how challenging the workout was. It gave me a great mind-to-body connection, and I definitely felt the burn throughout the entire class. Unfortunately, the instructor completely changed my experience. She was very hands-on in a way that made me uncomfortable. Instead of simply giving verbal corrections, she would physically push my arms or reposition my body without asking first. It felt overly forceful, and having that happen in front of a full class made me even more uncomfortable. I've taken Pilates classes and worked with trainers before, and I've never experienced an instructor correcting me in that way. Overall, I genuinely enjoyed the workout itself and can absolutely see why people love Solidcore. The class was challenging, effective, and left me feeling accomplished. However, because of my experience with the instructor, I personally wouldn't return to this particular location. The workout was great, but the coaching style wasn't a good fit for me.

What a workout! This was my first time experiencing Solidcore and I was not prepared for the…read moreintensity. The class I took was the Signature50: Full Body, led by Haley. This isn't like a heated class but you will definitely be sweating by the end. We arrived 20 minutes before class began and we're able to enter the building with a pre-generated code. Before the main room with all the machines, you'll find lockers, bathrooms, and water fountains. We stowed our stuff and once doors opened, we quickly went in to claim our spots. If it's your first time, make sure you come early so there's enough time for the instructor to go over the equipment and how the class works. Instead of weights, the equipment relied on tension and it might not seem hard but the workflows have a lot of holding that tension so you really feel the burn. The beginning started off with a lot of abs exercises and then switched to lower body with some upper body stuff. By the end, I could really feel it in my abs and slightly in my legs. Highly recommend trying at least once! Haley was great and kept a fun energy throughout the class!

I've tried all the new circuit classes from Revel Fit, Renegade, OTF, F45, and I guarantee that no one will program or kick your a$$ like Bryan at Versatile Fitness! This is a no-frills, old boxing gym vibe (think OG Rocky) where you come to WORK! Bryan's programming, exercise acumen, and super sets will challenge you, but also be some of the most effective and productive workouts. He has almost every piece of equipment I've seen in a gym from rowers, ropes, barbells, curl bars, pulley systems, sleds, water weights, benches, kettlebells, free weights, Terra core, TRX, bands, discs, and the list goes on. I have attended about 10 classes and I have yet to repeat a workout. It's insane the quality of training and programming you would get through this gym for the price. Anywhere else, it would cost thousands for this level of programming, so anyone who attends these classes is getting a steal of a deal for this type of workout! Classes are 45min, with several stations per class. Each day has a target focus such as pull, push, leg, abs, and/or cardio, depending on the day. The target is there, but you are always getting a decent total body workout. Each station has 2-3 exercises that you do 2 sets per station. You have around 3 people per station, and then you rotate. Bryan goes around to demo each exercise as you move stations, and also has the workouts written on a whiteboard at the front of the room. Bryan will also provide quick corrections, as needed. Please note, in large group class settings, rarely will get you get alot of correction or instruction. It's not feasible to have that much personalized focus in these types of classes. Each class starts with a short warm-up, and a quick cooldown at the end. I have only taken class with Bryan, as he is the staple of this gym. He also has an extensive background with over 20yr of experience and he also offers some nutrition and personalized coaching programs for fat shredding and other fitness goals. This gym is a hidden gem and morning classes are usually full. I am literally perplexed how the afternoon classes are not exploding with members because I have yet to see anyone have the stellar exercise programming and versatility that Versatile Fitness provides. I've seen so many different trainers and attended many gyms, and Bryan's programming is the most innovative and BRUTAL (in the best way), that I've experienced. If you're looking for a serious SWEAT, a great community, and incredible workouts, VF is the spot!

The YMCA Dan McKinney location continues to be rockstars when it comes to their summer camp experiences for the kids. There is a reason we come year after year and it has to do with the quality of their high interest, highly engaging camps. The counselors continue to work hard to ensure all campers are having a blast and be so patient and kind in those moments of overwhelm. As an educator myself, I greatly appreciate the care and effort of each counselor we've met this summer. I see the effort and it doesn't go unnoticed. Our oldest (10 year old, autism and ADHD) continues to love the different camps he's been a part of this summer. Slime, Harry Potter, Adventure (I mean....they're going on amazing field trips to Petco Park and Safari Park!), and soon Parkour. Our youngest (5 year old) has loved gymnastics, Disney Jr, and coming up Little Gardeners. It just feels good as a parent (and special needs parent at that) to drop off your kids knowing they're safe, going to make some new friends, and thoroughly enjoy each activity each day. Registration is straightforward, communication each week is clear and helpful, checking in and out also a breeze. 10/10 So, thank you YMCA Dan McKinney for continuing to provide amazing camps for our kids and kudos to all of the counselors who are gems in bringing these camps to life for these/my kids.
