Fast-paced, class-based fitness. Great energy. Friendly staff and members. Effecient structure. Low pressure. No one is going to make you lift more than you want, and they're probably barely looking at you to begin with ;-) (except for the trainers, they're watching your form). Have only done their upper body workouts, but they're definitely burners. Bonus points for most of the facility being outdoors! The gym is a bit hidden if you're not a PB local, but it's right by the Play It Again Sports and a 1/2 block or so from Starbucks. Definitely recommend for folks wanting to add class-based fitness to their routine. read more

The Movement Warehouse is so much more than a place to workout. It's a community. No matter where you are in your fitness journey or what your goals are, you're welcomed and supported. I had been away from working out for 8 years and MVMT welcomed me with open arms. My goal wasn't to be a size 2. My goal was to get stronger. What I like best about MVMT is that members show up for each other, cheer each other on, and make it genuinely fun to work out. The trainers really care and the vibe is always positive. For me, MVMT isn't just about getting stronger physically. It's about being a part of something uplifting and supportive. read more

I can't say enough how grateful I am to have found these guys. Nate ,Michael And Staff were very supportive in my quest to drop 15 lbs and to get in shape for my upcoming police academy. They encouraged me to come in on 5 different classes they offer weekly. Nate educated me on a proper diet program that would work for me. I mostly did the Push / Pull upper body class and the Abs/ Shoulders class going in 2 to 3 times a week. This is a fun place to be, everyone I met is great and very friendly. I highly recommend people of all ages to join this place. I needed the accountability and the discipline to conquer my goals. At 56 in 6 weeks I lost 18lbs and feel stronger and healthier than ever before. Thanks Guys. ‍ read more

See all

So I have not been keeping up with my fitness goals and finally committed to start again for summer. I came to Meagan's Wednesday Core and Conditioning class. I was SO nervous considering I did not feel as in-shape as everyone else. Starting with a warm up, then moving to the workout I started to feel more comfortable. Everyone in class is supportive and so helpful. Some instructors at other gyms have made me feel overwhelmed, but Meagan was so encouraging. She helped me with my form when needed, but didn't make me feel stressed over doing everything perfect. The environment here is so inviting and it feels like you're surrounded by a community that wants to see you thrive. Also best workout of my life. 10/10 recommend. read more

I never EVER thought I'd love going to the gym but here I am, 7 months into being a member at MVMT and I don't ever want to stop. This place is awesome and truly combines safety, community, and hard work in a fun way. No matter the trainer, you will have an excellent workout that pushes ya beyond what you thought you could do. Meagan and Mike will not hesitate to correct your form, call ya out for slacking, and generally just push you. Brad and Andrea will encourage ya one moment, and the next push you to take that extra bit of weight or do a few more reps. They are all great. Pricing here is pretty affordable for what ya get: the expertise of amazing trainers without the price tag (unless ya want that 1 on 1!) and unlimited classes with the right membership. If you're looking for a new place to workout (that takes covid seriously too), join a community, and generally better yourself, sign up. It'll be worth it. read more

Visited their location because I saw an ad for a free 6 weeks transformation (portraying it as though it's free because they use the before and after pics as advertising). It was a complete lie. They claim, "free doesn't work for people," and then ask for a nearly $600 down payment towards membership. Also unprofessional seeming facilities, many of the stations are in shack-like structures located behind the building. I believe they engaged in false advertising and nobody should be lured in like that under false pretenses. read more

Best gym in San Diego. No doubt about it. I know claiming that, plenty of people will have their thoughts (or comments) but I stand by it. If you are someone who loves to work out but also wants to be part of a program that gets results, MVMT is where you should go. All four of the trainers here are great. They all bring their own unique personalities to each workout while synergistically helping their members achieve their goals and more! Mike has built an amazing team over at MVMT and his team continue to push us harder every workout and I love it. Definitely worth checking it out! read more

One if the best gyms I've been too! Everyone is kind and welcoming but they definitely push you out of your comfort zone so you can become the best version of you!! I started with the free trial and ended up with a membership!! 100% recommend read more

Whether you want to lose weight, get stronger or faster, improve mobility - this gym will help you figure it out and get after it. read more

I've taken a few classes at The Movement Warehouse and am loving it! Mike knows his stuff and it shows in his training style. He starts with a solid warm-up/movement prep to get the body loose and get the heart rate up. The workouts are programmed well to include a variety of functional movements that tie strength training and cardio together. Mike does a great job of keeping you motivated throughout the workout while keeping the class fun and upbeat. The community at The Movement Warehouse is unparalleled. The clients love being there and they welcome in newbies with open arms. It can be intimidating to walk into a new gym or fitness studio, but here, you feel like part of the family almost instantly. I highly recommend the Movement Warehouse to anyone that is looking to take their health an fitness to the next level! read more

This is without a doubt the best gym I have ever joined! From the moment I walked in, I immediately felt welcomed--not just by the trainers, but by the other members too. When I first started, I didn't know much about working out and I was definitely the weakest one in the class, but it didn't matter because the MVMT staff taught me everything I needed to know. The trainers are incredibly knowledgeable and they can provide modifications for every movement, which was so helpful for a beginner like me. The trainers take the time to get to know you, your abilities, and your goals. They are patient, yet encouraging, and push you to your individual limits. They believe in me even when I don't believe in myself, and they've helped me become stronger than I ever thought I could be. Every workout is unique, fun, and challenging for every fitness level. Plus they're always open to feedback if there's something we want more of. The gym is outdoors, the equipment is sanitized after each use, and the classes are small. In the middle of a pandemic, this is one of the few places that I actually feel safe. I never thought that I would become a person who loves to workout, but after working out at MVMT, now I can't imagine my life without it. I was apartment hunting recently and refused to move more than 20 minutes away from this place. If that alone doesn't tell you how awesome this place is, then I don't know what will. Mike and his team truly have created a little family here, and this place has become a second home for me. This gym has absolutely changed my life. I love MVMT and I seriously cannot recommend this place enough. They have so much more to offer than just a place to workout at. This gym is truly unique. Give them a chance and you will not regret it! read more

I really don't appreciate when a gym gets people to come in by promising they'll be choosing 16 people to work with at no charge. Then you make the effort of going in and find it was all a farce. Not free and totally bogus. read more

10/10 recommend!! You MUST try this gym out. I walked past it for years and finally decided to walk in to try out a class a few months back and I'm so happy that I did ! This is by far the best gym I have ever joined. Not only do I get the best workout every single time, it's also such an amazing community to be apart of. Everyone pushes each other to be better and the trainers are so welcoming and never let you slack during the workouts. I'm constantly sore in all the right places and I love it. If you're looking to get a killer workout in and to meet some pretty amazing people then you've found the right place! read more

Found this gem about 9 months ago through a couple friends and was talked into giving it a try. At the time, I was a bit hesitant to go lift heavy weights in what I assumed to be a "cross fit" atmosphere since I was coming off a recent back surgery. Boy was I wrong. The team of trainers (led by head trainer Mike) are amazing to work with. Have an old injury that's holding you back? There's a way to train and eliminate risk of re-injury with this team. They always have your best interest in mind. The people that workout here are an amazing group of people and are super welcoming, really incredible people. After 9 months, the results are amazing! My core strength is stronger than ever which has accelerated the results of my back surgery, my upper body has actual defined muscles which I haven't seen in 10 years, and the lower/leg workouts have increased my mobility and racing speed. Bottom line, if you are looking for results, look no further than The Movement Warehouse. If you are willing to put in the time and trust with this team, you will get stronger, faster, and live a healthier lifestyle as a result. Final thought for those with a difficult schedule, The Movement Warehouse has amazing hours ranging from 530a-630p and weekend classes which makes it incredibly easy to get into the gym 4-6x per week. read more

When I first moved to Pacific Beach a year and a half ago I was looking to join a local gym. I walked past this place a few times and immediately was drawn to its high energy and vibe. I called in to Mike the next week and ended up joining. This place is awesome! The workouts are fun, the people are great, and the trainers are amazing! I will never leave this gym as long as I live in San Diego! read more

The Movement Warehouse - Gyms Near Me - San Diego, California

I have been going to the mvmt Wearhouse for about a year now and I can say that it is the best gym I have been to hands down. The trainers really care about your well-being and are there to correct your form and make you push yourself. i have gone to other gyms in the past but never seem my body change like the way it has this past year. I have also been training with Meagan one a week since the start of the year as I am trying to grow my glutes. She has got to be one of the best trainers in San Diego. She actually cares about her clients and wants you to succeed with your fitness goals. I highly recommend her. The community at mvmt is also like no other and I have met so many amazing people. so if you are looking to change your lifestyle for the better and make new friends then mvmt is the place to be. read more

The Movement Warehouse is my favorite gym to get in a good workout especially when I need someone to push me. Mike the trainer is very helpful when it comes to correcting form and making sure you push yourself to achieve results! It's also the perfect location with the beach being a few blocks away so you can imagine yourself running down the pier with your dream summer bod! Enjoy! read more

Covid-19 forced me to change up my workout routine. Luckily I landed in the outside gym at The Movement Warehouse. Since starting classes here I've seen a complete transformation in my body. Classes are taught by experienced trainers who are in shape and they help encourage and teach proper form and technique. The workouts are innovative and the results are undeniable. I'm a busy Mom so I'm looking for workout efficiency. I love this place and couldn't imagine going back to a traditional gym every day. With the results I've experienced, it's worth every penny. read more

Top-Notch Gym! It didn't take long for me to notice changes in my physique, flexibility, strength and even mental health after signing up for movement warehouse. The trainers mix up the workouts often so you will not get stuck in the same routine like many group class gyms out there! Highly recommended! read more

I don't like working out but there's something about this place that keeps me coming. You get an amazing workout 'move' or 'strong' for the time spent. I always leave sweaty and happy I came. Everyone is really accepting and encouraging. Great little fitness family. read more

I came in for a class and was welcomed by all of the trainers and members! They made the experience comfortable and enjoyable. I loved the workout and felt challenged but supported as well. Ariel was so encouraging and made the whole experience! If you're looking for a gym, this is the spot! read more

I came to Movement Warehouse after my fitness goals and direction shifted from what I was getting at a previous gym. From Day 1, when I walked in and showed up to a post New Years 2019 class that ended up being pretty much a 1on1 training to now a year later, I have fallen into a community that supports, loves and includes all of their members. I joined two weeks prior to running an Ultra Marathon and was able to self modify workouts before and after my race to aide in my recovery while building my strength, aerobic capacity and mobility. The instructors at Movement put a big emphasis on mobility and we start all workouts with a very thorough stretch session heavily drawing from Yoga / Mobility work. We are encouraged to foam roll after workouts to help avoid injury. The community aspect here is like none other I have ever been a part of in a gym setting. It's true community, not community to be seen. These people really enjoy being part of each others lives and journeys and almost from day one they accepted me into this culture as well. Michael makes community a large focus of Movement Warehouse. Whether it be allowing our members to showcase our businesses, skills, side hustles as the on site event space, to holding regular community meetups and celebratory events - you feel not only challenged physically and mentally, but also encouraged, supported and believed in. I was out for a few months recovering from surgery this past year and I missed the community so much that I would drop in to visit and say hi, because that's how important this community had become. If you want a great workout, a great community, a great support system - this is the place to go. Tell them Joalby sent you. They know me, I'm the loud one who stops mid workout to crack jokes or check out the runners passing by or just run my mouth. read more

The Movement Warehouse is unlike any place I have ever worked out... and I have worked out many places. From day one, my interaction with Mike and his clients being welcoming and friendly followed by a kickass workout I committed and have been now for over a year. I've lost lost weight and decreased body fat percentage... more import I have kept if off and continue to do so while MOST importantly having FUN! I'm stronger, more flexible and feel amazing... the MW brings such great energy and vibe I crave going for the workouts and great people (some now my very close friends). Mike makes it fun and switches it up with friendly challenges and social events!! Bringing everyone even closer together motivating each other staying healthy and fit. SERIOUSLY THE BEST PLACE TO WORK OUT GET AND KEEP RESULTS!! Thanks Michael read more

I love the Movement Warehouse! I signed up for the unlimited package and I have been coming 6/week. I am loving my results and increased strength and endurance. Andrea, Brad, Nate, Megan, and Michael all have amazing training skills and the ability to help everyone. I especially love training quads and glutes during Andrea's class! read more

I can't say enough great things about Movement Warehouse!! After working in a fitness studio for the past 4 years, I found myself mid COVID both struggling to make it through at home workouts and intimidated about joining a new gym when I hadn't had to for so long. I was getting out of shape and sad quickly. A friend convinced me to try a class at Movement and I never looked back. From the second you walk in the door on your first day you are part of the MVMT family. The coaches are incredible and some of the most knowledgable I have ever encountered. They are constantly checking your form to make sure you are not only preventing injury but also getting the most out of your workout. The workouts themselves are always changing so you can't get bored, and they are constantly bringing new movements in to change things up. I started to see a difference in my strength and conditioning within just a few weeks. I have been going here for almost 11 months now and tbh it is the strongest I have felt in over 10 years. Not only do I feel stronger in general, but I have also noticed a huge a difference outside of the gym as well, whether it's playing sports, going on bike rides, walking on the beach, hiking, etc. I am just able to live life more actively. I have truly never experienced a gym like this one. I never thought I would look forward to going to the gym every day but here I am. From the community, to the members, to the staff, to the workouts themselves, Movement Warehouse has truly been a life changing discovery for me and I am so thankful I found them. If you live in San Diego and are looking for a gym, TRY OUT A CLASS here now!!!!!!! read more

You MUST try this place out!! I have been going to Movement for a little less than a year now and I love, not only the results I've gotten, but the community that comes with joining the gym. When I first started, I was intimidated by the format of the classes putting focus on strength training, as I had never lifted before. However, the trainers were so incredibly helpful and all the members were so welcoming. I have made some great friends and look forward to going to the gym everyday! I love the structure of the classes that allows you to challenge yourself and never have the feeling of plateauing. One of the best things of all, the gym is almost entirely outdoor!!! After spending an entire day working in an office it's nice to be able to get my workout in outside and, in the summer, potentially get a tan in the process :). I really love this place and I can't recommend trying it enough! read more

The movement warehouse has me feeling like a million bucks each time I finish a workout! All of the trainers are highly trained in making sure everyone has proper form and is capable of altering an exercise for those who may need an exercise altered. I love the community that The Movement Warehouse has created so far! Proud to call this place MY GYM! if your in need for a kickass workout with great peeps this is the place for you. read more

This is the best place to workout! Every time I show up I know there will be a unique workout and the owner, Mike will be there to push me while making sure my form is on point. Everybody is super friendly making it a comfortable environment for an awesome workout! read more

THE BEST GYM!!!!! I struggle with getting motivated to work out at a normal gym and decided to try Movement Warehouse out. I immediately signed up for a membership after trying out my first class. The workouts are amazing and the trainers are too!!! Mike and Meagan definitely push me during the workouts and I love that. All the trainers correct your form, explain the workouts thoroughly and do a great warm up to begin. I have NEVER been one to be excited about working out, but the environment and the community that this gym has is like no other. Now I wake up everyday to go early in the morning, and no one and no other gym has made me ever want to do that. My day is now started with a kick ass workout and interaction with amazing people. The workouts are a mixture of weight training, HIIT, and functional training. I will never go to a different gym, not only because I get the best workout here, but also because of the people who work here and workout here. SIGN UP!!!!!!! You won't regret it. read more

The Movement Warehouse has transformed my outlook on working out. Before joining the gym, I was an avid runner who considered herself "in shape"....After the first work out, I quickly realized I simply have stamina and had conditioned a certain set of muscles to perform but I lacked strength. Every class challenges you in a new way and the results have blown me away. For the first time in my life, I feel strong, my body is changing appearance, and I feel better about myself. The atmosphere is encouraging, fun, and makes you look forward to waking up and kicking ass. These workouts challenge a new set of muscles daily and you will leave every class feeling the impact of that particular workout. I highly recommend The Movement Warehouse to anyone who wants to be challenged, anyone who wants to see results, and anyone who wants to be supported by trainers who actually care about helping you crush your personal goals. read more

The best place I have ever found to get me in the best shape of my life and create an awesome social experience! I was introduced to The MVMT Warehouse, specifically Michael, the owner, by a mutual friend. I came in for my first workout the next day and was hooked immediately by the professionalism, place, location close to the beach and most of all the people that are current members. To me, it's like quality personal training but in a group, so you get all the value but not the extreme pricing of personal training 1-on-1. The other trainers are awesome and it makes working out fun but also pushes you to your own next level. Detailed nutrition plans are there for you, monthly challenges, social events, etc. and not to mention the largest outdoor fitness area in the beach areas right in the backyard! The few months I have been going I have made solid friendships, my athletic mobility is back, lost weight, gained muscle, look good, feel good and am just an overall happier person. I would rate this place more than a 5 star for overall value. I recommend trying it out and see if it's for you. Come get some fitness, I think you will be pleasantly surprised or you can blame me entirely. read more

I joined this gym on the recommendation of my friend when I moved to San Diego. I was sold on the concept after the first class, and knew this was the spot for me to train at. For years I was stuck in the same weight lifting routine so I was looking for a completely unique and new gym experience that would allow me to increase my functional strength and flexibility as well as educate me on other aspects of health and fitness. After attending this gym for around 6 months I can say with confidence that Movement Warehouse allowed me to achieve all of those goals. I feel and look much more functionally fit, my flexibility has increased 10 fold, and my joints and muscles have never felt better. I've learned countless new movements and exercises that I plan on utilizing forever, and that is truly invaluable. In addition to the physical training, the gym offers diet and fitness coaching, and will even help you curate and accurately track a diet plan tailored to your fitness goals. From day one everyone at the gym was warm and welcoming, and made you feel right at home. I have met some great people that I now consider friends because MW fosters a congenial environment that will push you to your physical limits, and then host some fantastic social events over the weekend! In summary, the trainers are true experts in their crafts, the workouts are dynamic and challenging, and the knowledge you will take home at the end of the day is beyond valuable. If you want to achieve your fitness goals and have fun doing it all while learning a ton this is the spot for you. read more

One of my favorite workouts ever! The trainers are amazing; they really care about your form and push you to your max! Good energy and great culture! read more

The Movement Warehouse can only be described with one word....AMAZING!!!!!! There is no judgement going on and everyone in the class has a positive attitude and pushes you to your limits. The owner and trainer Mike keeps the workouts challenging and will always be willing to adjust anything if need be. He has been extremely motivational to me and has helped me to get my body on the track to where I would like it to be. If you haven't tried going to this gym.....well you're making the wrong life choices. Get in here and start making moves! read more

Movement Warehouse is the best gym in PB!! I feel so much stronger, faster and more mobile since joining last year. Mike the owner is so knowledgeable, welcoming and pushes you to be better everyday. He hired 2 other trainers Mike and Meagan who are equally awesome! This gym is a great fit whether you are totally new to working out or an avid athlete. They help tailor the exercises to fit your needs. Movement warehouse is a class based gym all circuit training style. And no it's NOT cross fit...it's way better! They have movement (more cardio based) and strength (higher weight lower reps) classes and you can mix and match which ever type of class you want. There are plenty of classes offered each day and each day has a designated focus ex Monday's are leg day, Tuesday upper body, Wednesday cardio and core and so forth. The point is you work out every part of your body and not just to get all bulked up. The workouts are geared to increase strength and mobility (hence why it's better then CrossFit). Oh and the cherry on top is the community! I love all the people that workout there and they have become some of my closest friends! Welcoming, hard working, supportive and fun. Come join us! read more

Most workout classes are ones where you're mentally there for the whole hour, but physically maybe only really there for half of it. The Movement Warehouse definitely isn't like most of those other workout classes. Mike (the owner) holds each individual accountable and doesn't let them slack off throughout the whole hour. You'll be 100% there mentally and physically. Your mind will probably hate Mike by the end, but trust me your body will be thanking him. Overall the warehouse itself is a great atmosphere to be in and I would 11/10 recommend trying it out! read more

I've been coming to the Movement Warehouse since it's inception, following Mike the owner and head trainer from a previous gym trained at and I have to say that this place is a complete game changer. In the year and a half since it's opened I've not only increased my strength, endurance and mobility but also lost significant body fat and gained muscle mass throughout. I never used to take leg day seriously and now it's my favorite work out because I finally have a way to do it right and safely. I love the variety and available options for classes and the people who come there are nothing but genuine and great folks to be around. I consider them all my friends and they bring a smile to me every time I walk in no matter how daunting the work outs look to be. All in all the people, the work outs, the casual atmosphere, the price and location and the facility are hands down the best work out you can get in San Diego. If you want a great work out, great people and great results you need to try the movement warehouse! read more

I came here for a 1 week trial after walking by it a few times since they've opened. I was feeling pretty optimistic about trying it out so I went in and talked to the owner/trainer, Mike, there. I show up the next day at 8:45 for the 9am class so I can fill out a waiver and to talk to him before the class started. I read and signed the waiver and told him that I do have a heart condition and want to push myself but not to where I feel like I'm doing too much. He didn't say anything to me about it. Class started and as my first day, I felt pretty good about it. There was another guy there who really took me under his wing and walked me through the workouts. I told him before I told the trainer about my heart condition and he told me that Mike would modify workouts for me- no problem. I complete my first class and felt really good, I pushed myself and really felt like I wasn't being judged or that I was not up to par with the class. I did the best I could and I was excited to go again. I walk in the next day to the same class and this one was a bit tougher. I tried to keep up with the class and Mike was nice enough on Day 1 to modify jump roping to running/jogging down to Gresham which was good. My form wasn't so good and I was sort of sore from the day before but I really pushed myself to keep up with the other people. Then it came time to do bench jumps and I couldn't do it. I was watching the guy who I was with in the group jump over no problem but I felt like I really couldn't do it. Mike came over and with no hesitation said, "okay let me get this straight, you have a heart condition and you have weak wrists.. we really push ourselves every single day." I was going to wait until he called out to do the next exercise but at that point, it was too late. Yes, I have a heart condition that I was born with and yes, I have weak wrists but I wasn't complaining on Day 1. I know what my limits were and bench jumping was my limit. He put me down instead of redirecting me to doing something else. I felt defeated and insulted. I walked away towards my bag and the guy who was really nice to me suggested I might want to try to take a one on one class with Mike to build up my speed since they move fast. I will never return again and I will find a gym that can modify for me since he clearly can't. I have waited a few days to write this but I'm standing my ground. If you have any sort of limitations, do not work out here. read more

Mike is a fabulous trainer! Highly recommend him ! I loved his circuit course and the way he pushes you.
