Fitness & Gyms in La Mesa, CA

“My friend invited me to come try a class with her and I am obsessed! I needed a class that pushed me, was guided and this is a perfect fit. Every coach is helpful and I am so happy I gave it a chance. Because I am taking my fitness to a whole new level”

“I was visiting La Mesa for three months and I feel so lucky to have found Stallion Arena Fitness. From the first moment when I walked in the gym and met the owner, Shawn, to now my last day (sadly), I had handsdown the best experience with this gym. Everyone I met was really friendly. And especially I appreciated being able to have Alex as a Personal Trainer. She's also the manager and she and Shawn really have created what feels like a neighbourhood community at the gym.
It's not a high-tech fancy place. It has everything I needed for serious workouts, and literally everyone I met was friendly, helpful, and I never once felt self-conscious working out there. Sean has built an amazing community, including having events like potluck gatherings, community holiday parties and group classes. What I also really appreciated was that the price was really reasonable. Not just for the monthly membership, but also for the Personal training I had with Alex.
Whether you're just in town for a couple days, looking for a gym for a few months while working remotely, like me, or you're a real local and have been wanting to get fit and do it in a really friendly place. I highly recommend you stop in and sign up.”

“I started really committing to work out on August 11th and since have completed 33 classes at OrangeTheory La Mesa to date. I started my first class clearly out of shape and not athletic, now I feel stronger, healthier and more confident, just in 33 classes! As someone who travels I’ve visited two other OTFs in other states and La Mesa coaches are hands down THE BEST! Quincy and Lea Marie keep the pump and motivation going every class. I look forward to Lea Marie’s motivational talks throughout the class and how she pushes us to challenge ourselves. I am addicted to OTF and look forward to how I feel after a workout. I am a raving fan of OTF and tell everyone I can about this workout. La Mesa is top notch and probably one of the best in the country!”

“I’ve tried so many different yoga studios and genuinely thought I just didn’t like hot yoga… until I found NXPT and took Dafna’s Hot Yoga Fusion class. Her classes have truly changed my life. I actually look forward to going—it’s become my safe place and my strong place. Dafna is absolutely meant to be a yoga teacher. She’s kind, gentle, and knows exactly how to push you in the best way. You can tell she’s incredibly knowledgeable and genuinely cares. I’m so grateful to have found this space—it’s given me an escape I didn’t even realize I needed. I feel stronger, and I can both see and feel the difference. If you’re even slightly hesitant to try this studio, just go. I promise you won’t regret it. Thank you, Dafna ?”

“I can’t say enough great things about this women’s gym! The sense of community is incredible, and I’ve learned so much since joining. I hadn’t worked out my legs in about four years because I felt uncomfortable and intimidated in a gym setting. But from the moment I walked into Body by University, I felt welcomed and supported.

The women here are encouraging, kind, and genuinely want to see each other succeed. They helped me ease back into my workouts at my own pace while still motivating me to push myself and become the best version of myself. This gym has given me confidence that I thought I’d lost, and I’m so grateful to be part of such an amazing community.

“Best CrossFit gym in town. They are so friendly and not to mention the great workouts. I recently had 2 babies and they allow me to take my babies to class, which is a win in any mamas book!”

“My son has been coming to this studio for a couple years now. What a great place to learn new skills, build strength, and make friends. The support and camaraderie here are amazing, and it's a community that values integrity, respect, and kindness. I love seeing how much my son looks forward to his Taekwondo classes throughout the week. The amount of physical and personal growth we've already seen in him here is incredible. Highly recommend!”

“BodyPump is a great class. I love it and hate it because it works everything and forces ME to work everything! Instructors Lizzy, Larise, and Nora are very motivating and knowledgeable. They make a tough class flow more easily. Carol is a great yoga and Pilates coach and instructor. She gets the class moving and always offers a challenging experience crafted for all levels of ability. Always very supportive and fun!”
