You never feel limited here. One of my favorite parts is the outdoor training space. Having that option makes a huge difference, especially when you want fresh air or a different training vibe. While it doesn't have all the flashy amenities some big gyms offer, what it does have matters more: quality equipment, space to actually train, and an environment that supports real work. If you're focused on results and want a gym that prioritizes function over fluff, this place is hard to beat. 100%

While I am no longer a fan of these HIIT group class concepts with a dedicated WOD targeting select…read moremuscle groups, Revel can serve to switch things up or keeps things fun especially with the high-energy music played within the low-lit studio. Admittedly, it's a vibe. However, these concepts have you starting on the tread and switching off to the bench anywhere from 2-3 times. I feel like you do not get the ultimate benefit of either. The weight segment is also super ineffective, incorporating "compound" moves for basically everything with upwards of 5-7 different exercises for a max of MAYBE 2 sets. I get why people love this concept because it's hard to stay motivated with the same boring workout. Plus, these workouts will undoubtedly have you feeling sore, this feedback being what people thrive off of, because sore muscles=growth, right? WRONG, as you absolutely SHOULD NOT feel sore after every single workout. In terms of progress, you will quickly flat line with the lack of consistency due to all the randomness. However, people have different goals and exercise is better than none, I mean, if you can afford it!

I am in LOVE with this studio! It's conveniently located at the MARA in Mission Bay/Pacific Beach…read moreright off the 5 FWY and Grand. There is plenty of retail parking on the first level of the parking garage as well as ample street parking. The studio is clean and has bathrooms, showers, high-end personal care products (lotions, soaps, feminine care products) and offers free towels to use during the workout. The studio is spacious and has treadmills + benches with weights and bands in each space plus extra weights along the wall you can grab for heavier lifting. Another thing I really love about the treads is the ability to do sled pulls and parachute runs...haven't found another studio in SD that has them! The trainers are motivating, the music playlists are curated to really pump you up and the workouts are 50 min - it's effective, efficient and you get a total full body workout and a balance of strength training and cardio w/ the option to double up on weights. I took advantage of the special they had for March for $196/month for unlimited classes (normally $300/month). I have been averaging going 3-4x/week so the value is there and this promotion was a really good deal! Can't wait for my next class!

I used to avoid gyms because just thinking about working out around other people gave me anxiety…read more But ever since joining Ocean Pacific Gym, that feeling has completely disappeared. The atmosphere here is welcoming, totally non-intimidating, and genuinely enjoyable. I absolutely love the new gym layout, especially all of the booty builder equipment they've added downstairs. It's honestly one of my favorite parts--I get excited to come in and work on building my glutes! The equipment is fantastic, the amenities are top-notch, and the staff is always friendly and supportive. The transformation this gym has gone through is incredible, and it just keeps getting better. Ocean Pacific Gym has turned something I used to dread into something I look forward to every day. Highly recommended! Also the sauna that looks out into the ocean is a great way to end my workout.

I canceled my membership by phone in December and was told my access would end the first week of…read moreJanuary. Despite this, I was charged in January and again in February. Staff acknowledged the cancellation and apologized, but the charges continued. These unauthorized charges disrupted another automatic payment I had scheduled. In addition, I signed a contract with the understanding that certain amenities would be available. Over time, several amenities either disappeared or were not functioning as advertised. Equipment was frequently in poor condition, some machines did not work properly, and basic facility expectations were not consistently met. There were also ongoing issues with air conditioning, and even simple amenities like stocked shampoo and conditioner were unreliable. If you choose to join, I strongly recommend getting any cancellation in writing and carefully reviewing what amenities are actually operational versus what is advertised.

I have been exercising and training since the late 90s (not to age myself), and I've worked with 3…read morepersonal trainers, tried every new fitness program from lifting, cardio, circuit training, tabata, CrossFit, HIIT workouts, yoga, cardio, and sports. 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!

Stay away from this gym if: you dislike working hard, you hate fun music, you want to workout with people who suck. Join this gym if you: want a great workout with no mental effort on your part, you enjoy being pushed to be your best, you want to support a small business instead of a corporate monster. Side note: I appreciate that Bryan the owner places a large focus on finding trainers that are a cultural match for VF. Shregar, Victor, and Mauritzio all bring the energy.

The owner Kat was also the instructor. She was very thorough in her instructions before getting started so everyone was clear on what to do at each station. There were 3 exercises at each of 4 stations covering all the bases, leaving you spent after each one. Kat provided tips and motivational quips throughout which was super helpful. The other ladies in the class were friendly and welcoming. This is a 3 story boutique gym with even the 1st floor indoor area open to the outside allowing you to enjoy the fresh air and breeze from the nearby ocean. There are amazing views of the sunset over the ocean from the 3rd floor. Here's the best part, I happened to be there on a night where they were having a wine tasting social on the 3rd floor from 5:30pm-8pm. Kat and her assistant put out a lovely spread, both generous and tasty. Members brought bottles of wine to share while socializing and making new friends. It was such an awesome way to bond with this little community, which is something Kat really prides herself on. It's not just a gym but like a second home, somewhere you enjoy going to not just rushing in to grab a workout and get out. Check this out if you're in the area, you'll be glad you did! I know I'll definitely rely be back.

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.
