Fitness & Gyms in Imperial Beach, CA

“I didn’t do CrossFit before I started coming to IB CrossFit but my husband did and was encouraging me to try it with him. Joe taught me so much! He’s so great at teaching you correct technique, keeping you safe and pushing you at the right pace.I never knew how much I’d love the sport-like elements of CrossFit. What’s awesome is our classes have all levels! You aren’t separated, you simply scale based on your current ability. Everyone works out together, beginner to CrossFit junkie. The community here is like no other place around. A lot of us are military or military spouses but not everyone and the support and comradery here is so strong. Everyone roots for each other, everyone has beers together. It’s the best gym in IB and the best gym I’ve ever gone to.I have had a hard time sticking to workout programs or going to a gym consistently in the past, not here! This place is the perfect combination of challenge, intensity, and fun! Some workouts are grueling but for some reason, they are addicting.I had no confidence with real strength training before Coach Joe. Now, I really enjoy it and like to compete with myself from week to week. I moved here when we were stationed here and knew no one. I met great friends here. Everyone was so welcoming. The CrossFit pros to the person just trying to get back in shape were all welcoming and handing me a beer after a hard workout in a Friday!One huge perk for me is working out outside if I want to! The gym has a hug sliding door so people can workout inside and out and I love being able to workout outside!!! Classes aren’t too big! Everyone gets coaching during every class.I really cant say enough good things! You should try it out!”

“If you're from out of town, please drop by and say hi and get in a workout. You might never want to leave. The coaches are great and so are the people that workout here.”

“To all the bad reviews ignore them , they are looking for a commercial gym they can take selfies and wait on a squat rack for 20 mimutes between sets , no knowledge or love for lifting weights . Been a member from 2013 and this by far the best gym in San Diego , machines dont need to be updated the machine are old school equipment you wont see else were if your gonna cry about it this gym isnt for you and frankly we dont want you here , its a community gym where we support each other and everyone knows everyone , its a hardcore gym get over it or leave .”

“I have been a member of this gym for several years. I love it! I truly enjoy my morning workouts and the people I am surrounded by. I currently take the classes with Amy and Dylan. They are fantastic. Bryson (management) always comes through and offers help or even a smile and encouragement. The people I take the classes with are fun to be around. I need my gym time to set me up right for the day and I always feel good when I leave. What more can you ask for! There is room and equipment for any workout style you prefer. I see some reviews about things not being clean or broken… this place is not all shiny and new. It’s a gym that people work out hard in. It’s used. But it’s functional, gritty and down to earth and I’ve never had an issue with skin infections/ rashes and I am doing burpees and crawling on that floor a lot! They do mop and do what they can to keep it clean. Any equipment I use works just fine and they recently added a few new tools to the arsenal.”
