I don't take any classes with the trainers, but they still say hi whenever they see me, which I think is really nice. The variety of leg equipment is actually what drew me to this gym in the first place. Aside from the usual machines, they have a V-squat, hip thrust machine, pendulum squat (at the La Mesa location), hinge/deadlift machine, belt squat, step-up machine, and more. I don't know many other gyms that have all these machines, so it's nice having so many options. Guest privileges vary depending on your membership, so that's worth checking. This gym is close to home, so I usually come here on days I work from home. The equipment is what initially got me interested, but the friendly staff are what really make the experience. It's always a refreshing way to start my morning.

She's motivating, knowledgeable, and pushes me beyond my comfort zone while ensuring my technique is correct. She genuinely cares about your progress and wants to see you succeed. I HIGHLY recommend Athena at Hardcore Fitness!

It's clear he genuinely cares about members having a great experience. Thanks to his guidance, I feel more confident in my workouts and motivated to keep coming back.

This has to be one of my favorite gyms in all of San Diego. If you want a gym where you can meet…read morelike minded lifters, who all have the same goal of wanting to compete and get fit, this is the gym for you. The owners, Pete and Devin, are some of the chillest owners you'll meet and are very inviting/welcoming. The gym is a little small in size and the equipment can feel close together, but they find a way to make it work. I also have never really seen the gym all that crowded as they have great hours, depending on the type of membership you get. They do have a 24/7 membership at a great price, that way you never have to worry about rushing a workout. The gym is broken into 2 sections, one side legs the other upper body. All the equipment is in great condition with plenty of dumbbells. Really is a great gym and one of the closest you'll get to a REAL modern bodybuilding gym in San Diego.

This review is an honest account of what I have witnessed at this gym. First, I'll start with one…read moreof the owners, Devin. In my experience, he only cares about the money you give him. I've seen how he trains people and how differently he treats members who pay for personal training compared with those who only pay for a gym membership. The difference is astounding. When I had an issue with someone vaping in the gym--keep in mind how small this gym is--I told both Devin and Pete, and neither did anything about it. I first told Pete directly while he was training someone. After about five minutes, nothing had been done, so I figured he was busy and went to tell Devin. I asked Devin, "Hey, can people vape in the gym?" He laughed and said, "No." I then told him that someone was vaping and that I had just walked through a plume of vapor. He laughed again, said he would take care of it, and went right back to training his client. While doing cardio, I watched to see whether either of them would speak to the person, but neither did. After this incident, there were several other occasions when people vaped in the gym, including one of Nate's clients. I never saw anyone tell them that vaping wasn't allowed. I eventually brought it up to their mother, Michelle. A month or two later, she ordered "No Smoking or Vaping" signs and posted them around the gym. A few months later, while I was on prep, I accidentally passed gas in the middle of a set. I apologized and laughed nervously because I was embarrassed. The client Devin was training at the time became furious, and Devin proceeded to threaten to kick me out of the gym. It was an accident, and things like this can happen when people are on prep. To me, this incident reflected the difference in how he treats people who pay extra for training and those who only pay for a membership. Personally, I think the quality of training at this gym is subpar, but that is my opinion. Others have also told me that they brought issues to the owners and felt those concerns were never addressed. Another issue was the lack of professionalism I witnessed. The drama at this gym, including Michelle yelling at and threatening someone right outside, was unprofessional. Yelling things like "You're f**** done here" or "SHUT TF UP" early in the morning was uncalled for. I've had several other issues with this gym, such as subpar equipment that breaks often and is outdated; there is very little room, and overall, I would not recommend it.

She is friendly, professional, and very much approachable. I feel she needed to be recognized because not everyone gets the opportunity to know her because she is behind the scenes making sure the fitness club is properly managed.

I do hope more people can be thankful and see the good of the club and superstars she employs. I believe if there is a problem, notify someone so they have the opportunity to fix it. Erica has always helped me with anything I have needed, and for that I am grateful! I hope her upper management recognizes she exemplifies as a "Top Tier Manager!"

For a "Super Sport" gym, I expected higher standards. I never see staff cleaning the floors or wiping down equipment, which makes a big difference in the overall gym experience. What's surprising is that the smaller Mission Valley Active location consistently has staff in the locker room and on the floor keeping things tidy. If this gym could bring that same level of attention to cleanliness, it would make a huge improvement. I really hope management considers stepping up the cleaning routines, because the facility itself has great equipment.

You can work out anywhere as there are plenty of other options out there, but you won't find a staff of this caliber! I also love the set up here and arrangement of equipment. You don't have all the cardio machines facing the front door. Also, they keep it pretty clean and organized. I just hope corporate recognizes the superstars they have running this location!

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.

We also have an accountability coach for added bonus to help us with any challenges and make sure we are striving toward our goals. Gym is spacious and clean. Some workouts are done outdoors and are divided into target areas/goals. As someone new to strength conditioning, I was afraid of not knowing what to do. But the coaches we've had were always there to help out and not make you feel incompetent or a burden. What we love the most about it, among other things, are the modifications for each exercise in case you have any injuries or just working yourself up to a certain level. The members are also very nice and friendly which gives it a teamwork feel. I highly recommend this gym and would encourage others to check it out. It's so worth it!
