Fitness & Gyms near Lakeside, CA

“Cool place. Go there quite a bit. Thank goodness for their summer free pass. Not 5 stars cuz want them to be open 24 hrs. Cool employees tho and plenty of machines and good bathrooms. Not overcrowded much either (although I go in the morning so idk abt other times), plenty of parking outside too”

“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 recommended this gym by a work colleague & I'm so glad I signed up!I am a true beginner to CrossFit & I was so nervous to start but everyone there from the coaches to the gym members has been so nice, helpful & motivating. I'm excited to go to class & workout!”

“I’ve been going to CrossFit ATR for a few months now, and it’s been a game-changer! The community here is incredibly supportive, and the coaches are top-notch. Whether you’re a beginner or experienced, they make you feel welcome and push you to achieve your best. The workouts are always challenging and varied, which keeps things exciting. I’ve seen major improvements in my strength, endurance, and overall fitness.

What really sets this place apart is the personalized attention the coaches give to everyone. They make sure you’re using proper form and motivate you throughout the workouts. You won’t regret it!”

“Great gym. Personally I don’t talk with people when I work out and none of the staff of other people working out get in my way or try to chat. But I do see them being very friendly with people just joining the gym or who just want to talk. Like I said great spot and good people. Also it is basically never busy. Like nowhere near 24 hour fitness. There is a squat rack open probably 99 times out of a hundred”

“To keep it short and sweet: amazing atmosphere with a kind but dedicated team to push you to be your best self. It’s hard, because it’s worth it. I felt included right away, and am optimistic for the future. 10/10 each and every day.”

“I really enjoy coming here a few times a week, not only to work out, but to have fun while doing so! Brandon, Piper, Alli and the rest of the coaches are all amazing and have been very helpful in this journey.”

“I started at this gym January 2nd 2024 and I’ve been invited to 5 parties, lost 30 lbs, competed 3 times, and continue to meet new incredible people and try new classes! The class floor plan changes each week and follows a similar pattern throughout each day and usually alternates upper body and lower body focus days. At least that is what I’ve noticed. You have the opportunity to do heavier work sometimes and then there is also 4 CrossFit style classes a week if you enjoy Olympic lifting and CrossFit movements. All the trainers are super great that I’ve had so far and are knowledgeable about the movements and mobility! Highly recommend especially for endurance based training and cross training. It’s really helped me lose the weight! They have a few challenges a year and the prices are good and it’s fun to get points! Come to the 430pm class and say hi!”

“I love it here! All the coaches are amazing, and they go above and beyond to help you with your personal goals. I recommend this place to anyone that is looking into gaining muscle and losing weight.”

“The facility is more than a CrossFit athlete (competitive or not) can ask for. Plentiful equipment to include a recovery room fitted with a cold plunge and sauna. The coaches are amazing, the programming is seamless, and the atmosphere is welcoming. The best CrossFit gym I have had the pleasure to train at.”

“I've been a member of this gym since 2020, I loved it then, and I still love it now. Now under new management of Sean Antwan, the gym has seen significant improvements. Sean has done an excellent job upgrading the facilities and creating a welcoming, well-maintained space for members. What truly stands out is his commitment to building genuine connections with members and ensuring everyone feels supported and valued. His personal approach sets a strong tone for the community and overall experience.”

“Best gym ever! Classes like personal training. It’s more like a family than a gym. They work with injuries also and make sure you are using equipment properly to avoid injuries. I had a wonderful experience with this gym. Last year they even had a Friendsgiving which was alot of fun. If you want to transform your body and be in great health I highly recommend this gym!!!”

“One of the most clean, friendly and massive F45 studios I have visited. I was in town on business and dropped in for a few classes. Coaches were helpful and listened to what adjustments I needed to make. Thank you for having me F45 Santee!”

“I've been coming to BU since 2018 and there is no other place like it. Francine does an amazing job creating an inclusive environment for women to come and weight lift in small groups. She both challenges you and makes modifications when needed. Classes are well paced and perfect for work schedules whether you need an early morning or evening class. I've learned so much about weight lifting, form, and nutrition from Francine over the years while hitting PRs throughout. A fun bonus is the community outings we do throughout the year. There is no other community like this! Check it out, it is 110% worth your while.”

“I cannot rave enough about East County Crossfit! I started coming here when I moved to San Diego in 2023. Although there are many great coaches at East County, I have spent the most time with Coach Paul and Coach Erica. Both are fabulous coaches that are focused on preventing injury and helping you become strong and more athletic.I used to think that Crossfit was too intense for me or that I would bulk up. Spoiler alert, it is actually somewhat difficult to build muscle and found that instead of becoming bulky, I have become more lean and fit. And so much stronger! East County offers 3 different options at each workout, level 1, level 2 and an alternate option (like weight vest Wednesday), plus a fun partner workout on Fridays. Any one of any fitness level is able to join with the help of these fabulous coaches.My favorite part about East County is that it gave me a community when moving to a new city. I actually look forward to my 5:15am workout class! Okay, I also really appreciate the focus on longevity and preparing our bodies to be healthy as we age. I highly recommend this gym!”

“i’m gunnu miss this gym so much, i’m starting school so i have no time for working out, definitely a very good gym to go to, everybody is so friendly and kind and you have trainers that push you to meet your goals”

“I came to Gonzalo with a BIG deadlift goal in mind. I had been lifting for a few years on my own, so a part of me questioned whether I “needed” a coach. I did it anyway and am grateful because I’m leaving 2023 a better, more skilled and confident powerlifter. Gonzalo is BIG on injury prevention; seeing evidence of that week over week encouraged me to push my limits more than I would have. Our sessions were insightful and my form is significantly improved. Gonzalo is a fabulous coach and the BEST investment I’ve made in myself this year. I am better because of him and RTS Fitness.”

“Obsessed is an understatement. This is the most amazing workout you will ever experience. Mary is such an inspiration. She drives you and pushes you in every way possible. From the environment to how welcome I felt makes me come back three times a week. She’s not just my gym instructor: she’s influenced my life and made me feel comfortable within my own skin. She knows all of her girls’ strengths and weaknesses and works with each and every one of us to ensure we are meeting our fitness goals. She has transformed my body and made me love the skin I’m in. I love to come to the gym just to see her and workout. The gym is always clean: top of the line equipment and the best is nothing is the same. You will always have something new to do: from the workout routine to the floor exercises. Aside from the gym she has the most comfortable clothing line :MK athleisure. Who doesn’t want to feel and look good while working out. She cares about each and every one of us and most importantly ensuring our form is correct while maneuvering through each workout.Thank you Mary for not only being my trainer but caring and motivating me to be a better version of myself. She was the best decision I ever made.”

“I've been a dedicated member with the trainers, namely Nick Bates, for over 6 years, and I can confidently say it’s the best fitness community I've ever been a part of. The trainers here truly excel in their craft, with a keen focus on proper form to help you build muscle effectively and, more importantly, prevent injuries.Their expertise in guiding members through workouts is unmatched. They pay special attention to each individual, ensuring that you get the most out of your sessions while staying safe. It's not just about lifting weights here; it's about doing it right.The trainers are incredibly knowledgeable, approachable, and committed to your fitness journey. Over the years, I've seen remarkable progress in my strength and overall fitness, thanks to their guidance and support.The gym itself is well-equipped, clean, and well-maintained. It's a welcoming environment that encourages you to push your limits while feeling comfortable and motivated.If you're looking for a gym where the trainers truly care about your progress, emphasize proper form, and prioritize injury prevention, this place is a hidden gem.”

“Accessible, clean, friendly staff and members, great layout and equipment. I've never been comfortable in a gym environment and this place has become my second home. Thank you San Carlos Fitness for your presence in the community!”

“This is a fantastic operation. Always consistent and the coaches are top notch. It has a real sense of community and workouts are extremely efficient. Highly recommend checking it out.”

“Not only is this the best place to train martial arts, but there is a perpetual kind and uplifting environment fostered by instructors and students. I have been training here since I was 9 and feel treated like family by the instructors. Senior Master Storniolo is an amazing person and instructor and I cannot recommend this studio enough.”

“This fitness gym is great for those looking for that personal touch in training and classes. I absolutely love this gym, it is full of friendly people, motivating and knowledgeable trainer’s who take the time to give individual attention. I have been at this gym for 2 1/2 years and the fitness discipline I now poses has made a happier, healthier version of myself.”

“I have been happily attending this wonderful place for eight years. I call it, "My happy hour." When I found out about El Cajon, Jazzercise I just wanted to give myself the opportunity to find another way to stay active since going to the gym just isn't for me. From the first class I realized that not only is exercising but Jazzercise is dancing, having fun and meeting people with the same needs that I had. Exercise in a fun and enjoyable way. The time goes by very quickly, I do what the Dr and anyone who knows a little about health would recommend. Exercise regularly.

“I’ve been to several CrossFit and “group workout” gyms and Kivnon has been by far my favourite. Everyone is friendly, the equipment is great, and whether you’re advanced, or beginner, the coaches are very accommodating.

I’d like to especially shout out Aren, who has been one of the best coaches I’ve ever worked with. Any time a new person is present he goes out of his way to assist, adjust, accommodate, and support throughout the workout, making things easy to understand, fun, but challenging enough to get an excellent workout.”

“Nothing compares to anytime fitness! I have chuze gym as well for the sauna but I had to get AF back for the privatized feeling. The machines are more available and everyone who comes here is about their business. Do what needs to be done and leave. Love that I can travel and still have access to a gym with private showers. I’ve been to a lot of other AF locations and this location is one of the cleanest gyms. Feels so amazing to be back, thank you Amanda for welcoming me back and having me again, I appreciate your hospitality.”

“Get ready to feel accomplished after your first workout. My husband and I signed up for personal training and we’ve made through our first four lessons, so far so good! We’re already feeling progress.Coaches Kim and Jeff are amazing and practice what they preach. (They’re fit) ??I recommend their style of personal training because it’s not boring and we look forward to each “obstacle course” they set up for us.For starting out, I knew I needed personal training because I didn’t have the discipline to follow an outlined set of workouts on my own.Having the coaches there, I’m able to focus , keep a proper form, and follow their instructions- that get’s my wheels turning and I don’t slack off. I know I am getting a great FULL workout.Great place and great people. Thanks!”

“I love this place! Great gym and equipment! Great workouts and coaching! Great people and atmosphere! My husband and I drop in, whenever we are in town. Andy is awesome!!! He is always welcoming and helpful. The members are great too...friendly and encouraging. I've never felt unwelcome. We workout at gym in Ventura and KMF feels like a home away from home.”
