Fitness & Gyms near Canyon Lake, CA

“Have been a member since 2020 and as gyms go, this facility really has everything you need with the mellowness to counter the crowds of big box gyms. Facility is kept clean and tidy! That is a BIG thing to me. My only complaint isn’t even about the gym but rather the afternoon rush that comes with the dance studio upstairs. Can make it hard around 4-7pm to find parking at times. My ONLY complaint. Even for a serious lifter, you can find your needs met here ?”

“I don’t even know where to start, I was given a 3 day trial & decided to use all those days on the infrared hot yoga & holy cow I felt such a difference in my body. Just for a background, I’ve had knee surgery & 2 hip replacements and I swear the difference in just 3 days is incredible. I am only 4 months post-op & I’m very limited in what I can do, but the heat really relaxes my joints to where I can feel like I can keep up enough, and the mobility continues even after I leave the class. I am definitely here for the long haul. I used to do weight training & power lifting & I feel like I get the same intensity without needing to work around my restrictions. I was so intimidated coming in since it’s so different from what I’ve done in the past, but everyone here is so nice, including both members & instructors. If you are looking into starting yoga this is the place to do it!”

“Such a powerful space you can feel the welcoming energy as soon as you enter the room. I attended the spirit guide workshop today hosted by Cory, such an amazing beautiful soul, I love her so much and would definitely recommend this to everyone”

“I can't say enough good things about this gym and their staff. I felt welcomed and like family from day 1. When i started here i was 60lbs heavier than i am now. Never felt intimidated by lack of ability, trainers were always willing to offer advise.. I will miss this gym and their staff!”

“My wife and I decided to try strong 1 stfitness after hearing good things from family and friends. We were really out of shape so it was a little intimidating going in but they were very inviting and made us feel welcomed. I lost about 10 lbs and the wife lost 15, if you are looking to get healthy with a good group of people I would totally suggest this gym”

“love The the camp. great place great people and u see results if u put in the work ftdi diet water and work out 5 times a week u life will change u will see results !”

“The community is what makes this place great! The coaching staff are amazing and are ahead so helpful to athletes of all levels. I have really enjoyed the workout programming and seeing myself progress in skills I didn’t have a month ago.”

“It's a good gym with a lot of equipment, I love how there's always a power rack available, I like the outdoor workout area. I gave it 4 stars tho for a few reasons. It gets very hot in the summer often it feels hotter inside than outside, a lot of the weights are broken or rusted, especially outside I've often picked up a weight just to have to put it back because there's a large piece missing. Third I think this gym should ban recording yourself idk how others feel but there's so many people with cameras set up it's annoying to have to avoid them in the small space that is metroflex.”

“To me, Default Fitness isn't just a gym, it's my second home. I have learned so much about fitness, proper form and have built amazing relationships with members. I highly recommend to come try us out and meet an awesome group of people. This is the place to get healthy, fit and build strength!!!”

“I started going here about 2 years ago and was pregnant at the time. The trainers were all so knowledgeable and helped me throughout the workouts. The facility is clean and well kept and everyone is so kind.I highly recommend this gym for everyone; there is not that cliche vibe that some other gyms give off (nothing bad, but you know that natural vibe some gyms give off; a bit intimidating, hardcore, etc) This place is welcoming and I’ve seen people of all ages here.I’m still going and I’ve seen great changes to my body post baby as well! If you lack the motivation to workout, come here and experience the Camp! It’s like working out with family!”

“Shay is such a wonderful trainer. She's very hands on, encouraging and very helpful. I strongly recommend signing up with her when jumping into your fitness journey.”

“My fiancée’s trainer Yari at Fitness 19 has been a great fitness instructor. She tailors workouts for her twice a week. Before my fiancée used to feel shy about showing up to the gym but feels a lot more confident about working out. I go to this gym as well and it’s always very clean and has all the gym equipment I need for any muscle group i’m working out that day. I highly recommend signing up for a membership at this gym, it’s also very affordable compared to other gyms in the area.”

“I was a member here for many years before moving to a different area (the only reason I quit going to this gym). The workout is a great mix of strength training and HIIT. The workouts always vary and it's fast paced so you don't get bored. The trainers are friendly and will help you with form if needed. The general atmosphere is friendly and not intimidating. Because there are different stations, it's a good mix of group energy yet independence. I especially loved being able to show up and having my workout entirely planned and laid out for me. Didn't have to think about it - just showed up! 100% recommend this gym.”

“We attended this gym for the Valentine's crush wrestling event help by the valley wrestling connection this past Saturday, and it was a blast. The gym is actually pretty big. High bleachers. Very clean and fits a lot of people. Very nice place to hold an event in the city.”

“My review reflects directly the to Murrieta BJJ club that is held there Mon. Wed. And Fridays at both 6 am and 7pm respectively.I absolutely love the experience I get from Prof. Tim Lopez. (3rd degree Machado Black Belt)His approach is both inviting and technical. He helps students see the connection between complex body movements, and breaks them down, in a simple way.White belts to Black belts can benefit from his technical approach.The gym also offers personalized coaching programs for whatever goals your looking to achieve.”

“By far the best gym i've ever been a part of. The atmosphere is friendly and family like, management is friendly, open to their members, and responsive to their needs and concerns. Their programming is simple but effective. I loved this gym, the reason I stopped going is because I moved 60 miles away. Since i've moved, i've realized just how good this gym was to me, as I have been really frustrated trying to find another box that is even decent. This box is everything you could want a box to be, they perfectly balance effectiveness of training with a community vibe that makes you want to come in and be a part of the action. They are true to CrossFit values, and provide a powerful workshop for anyone wanting to improve their lives in all the ways the founders of CrossFit had promised.”

“I’ve only gone once with a friend and it was my first rock climbing experience ever. It was a lot of fun but there was a problem. I jumped off the rock climbing wall from high up 2 or 3 times and ended up giving myself tendonitis in both patellar tendons and both quadricep tendons. It didn’t hurt at the time but the next day my knees felt a bit strange and I did some research on it. I didn’t really know that much about tendinitis and thought I’d be fine as long as I didn’t jump for a while but that was not the case. I went on a hike 2 days later and made my tendonitis way worse.So my message to everyone is to be careful while rock climbing wether it’s outdoors or in a gym. Always downclimb and only jump if you have to. Injuring yourself will always result in having to take time off the things you love or making yourself significantly worse because you didn’t take time off.”

“Sad that it's closing, so I feel I should write a review. I've been to many Anytime locations and this by far has been my favorite location and gym. The only gym I've seen with a jungle rack for pull-ups or 4 addition squat/bench racks. Large diverse set of equipment like an arm blaster, curl bars, a stubby straight bar, rope climbing, extra set of dumbbells, extra benches, those lat pulldown attachments, and so much more. Always nice to see the owner George working out and talking to him, the staff and all the other members. You can tell when the staff actually use the equipment because everything is set up in the most practical and convenient way possible. Any ideas I had about how it could be set up better were later done on their own, its like they could read my mind. The only real upgrades they could've done is tinted the windows(sun setting gets in the eyes bad sometimes) and a bench for the restrooms(I don't shower at this location but if I did I'd want a bench for my bag) The gym never got busy and while I liked that I also knew that could mean there weren't enough members to keep it all afloat. Truly saddened that it will be closing. I've been to powerhouse and metroflex and they could never replace Anytime Murrieta.”

“Super friendly staff, clean facility, plenty of exercise options for different workout styles and always plenty of space and equipment. This location is definitely Fun And Easy Health approved.”

“Great place to workout for women. Coaches and manager/owner are helpful and upbeat! They also offer fun Zumba classes. One of the last locations available in the Temecula valley. Highly recommended.”

“Sergio was very professional and polite. He quickly found the problem with our water heater and walked us through everything. He was honest and didn't try to charge us for things we didn't need. I highly recommend Sergio for any plumbing and water heater issues. He is at the top of our list for anything we need in the future.”

“Such a cool place for seasoned climbers and newcomers. My kids charter school allows us a membership here and we come twice a week for PE. We love that there are skilled instructors who are so kid and patient with everyone, and my husband and I can enjoy the gym and yoga while the kids play. Definitely a local favorite!”

“Smaller gym that is close to home. Doesn't seem to get as crowded during peek time like some of the other gyms which is good. Nothing fancy but good to get your workout.”

“Every time I’ve gone, the staff have been very friendly and helpful, the equipment is clean, maintained very well and the gym itself is very clean.My only negative (and it’s not being directed at the staff) is the fact that members homestead on a piece of equipment. They might as well get a mailbox attached to the equipment since they are on it so long, they may as well get their mail delivered there. They’ll sit there on their phones texting and taking up time, instead of just getting their sets finished and moving on to the next piece of equipment so that the next person can use the equipment.Other than this, I highly recommend Powerhouse Gym.”

“I want to thank the staff for the cleanliness of the facility. I’ve been to many locations and yours, near the home I’m leaving, is very well looked after.Thank you,Christopher”

“I loved the sauna but there is only 1 and I wished I could work out in it so I ended up joining HOT WORX gym by the mall since they have 12 infer red saunas with built in video trainers. ?️ My wife and I are diehard regulars and it's like twice the fitness in 1/4 the time. ???”

“Honestly going here felt nice. I've been to 24 hour fitness a few times in the past, but never had I ever before last night had I stepped get in ' Planet Fitness. While don't really hear much about either. I only hear neutral to less than good from PF. Going to this one was really nice. I've never been to one before and for it to be as neat as it was made me feel welcomed, which helped clear my mind to just focus on myself.Mentality: Their "no gymtimidation" policy sounds funny on the surface, but when you read it you realize it makes sense. If you're just wanting to go somewhere to help better yourself, it brings more mental comfort. A lot of people who want to go to the gym tend to avoid it because of stigma surrounding it. You get scared of some of the patrons. This place felt different. Felt better. Didn't feel pressured to do anything.Staff: The staff was also friendly and answered some silly questions I had, which was nice.Workout machines: The machines I used seemed a lot "cleaner" overall. They didn't seem to have any damage and didn't look like they'd break and hurt me if I breathed on them wrong. No. These were sturdy.For your sake, no, I've never been hurt by a machine before. Some just looked and seemed like they would.Price: $25? I've only really gotten word of their "black card" which from what I know is the highest tier that they offer. It comes with a good bit of benefits, including being able to bring a plus one / friend or buddy. Though they also have to sign up. It's entirely free for your friend as long as they go with you. I'll learn more about their stuff the more I go there.If $25 is the highest price for one month here, compared to 24H- which was a lot higher price in an environment I didn't really want to return to, it's like an offer I wouldn't turn down.In summary: Clean environment with a general dress code is in place that helps fight bad gym stigma. The machines were a lot nicer and well maintained. Staff seem helpful and friendly. Highest price is $25 and you get to bring a +1 with you for no extra charge.All in all, I feel a 5* for this place is in order. I am certainly going to return very soon when my body decides to not be so sore.I'm very tired as I write this, so please excuse me if some of the stuff I write don't make sense.”
