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.”

“Leaving this review in reply to another made from a week prior. Rebecca, this one's for you. I'll start off by saying I've been at this gym for 4 years. During lockdown, this place was a life-saver for many in the community, mentally and physically. Marina will forever have my respect and support for being brave enough to be one of the few gyms that fought closing at every turn for her community. That said, this gym has a beautiful tight-knit family vibe and structure. Never crowded, great vibe, and you'll see the same faces working hard every day. We have a collection of some amazing men and women athletes, all of whom are helpful and supportive, I honestly can't think of a safer or more positive environment to achieve your fitness goals. What Rebecca did was not in line with any gym environment I can think of. Rebecca threatened to physically assault me in front of at least three individuals who can testify, including an employee. You didn't cancel your membership,dude. You were canceled for physically threatening another person. Best of luck at your next MMA gym”

“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 .”
