“This is a fantastic gym. It has all of the equipment you could hope for, is well organized and clean. The staff are friendly and helpful, especially Julian. He runs the gym and is always making sure his members are happy with the conditions and amenities and offering tips and advice when asked. He is open, friendly and helpful and he certainly knows his stuff! I knew immediately that this was going to be my gym after meeting and talking with him and signed up on the spot. This is a great gym community full of support and respect. I highly recommend this location specifically. I’ve been to other locations but none of them have this vibe. It’s a special place and the people that run it, make the difference.”
“Burn boot is very inspiring n motivating place. Coaches are more welcoming and encouraging ,entire team is so enthusiastic . I love being part of this community . I m really happy to join this community .”
“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”
“Been coming to hardcore on and off a few years now cuz I work out of town a lot but management is always helpful and accommodating. To be honest I always start missing the place cuz you always get so much more out of it then just your regular gym...”
“I would really appreciate that if somebody let me know why the gym has been closed because I called them a couple times nobody responded then I went to the location then there was no one. I was looking for the gym like that and I would really appreciate that if there is somebody have respond.”
“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.”
“CrossFit Fortius East is a place that has it all. Far fewer places would be at the caliber of this place. Everyone is friendly, encouraging and supportive. A place of no judgment but people just pushing each other to get better everyday. It’s the kind of place where you look forward to showing up everyday.
The environment is positive, motivations and very family oriented. Something special was built here not just a gym but a community. I’m really glad I found this place and would highly recommend it to anyone looking to get stronger, in shape or push themselves while being part of a great community.”
“Love the crew at CF Darkside!! Everyone is very welcoming and easy going. Definitely a family friendly gym with space for the kids to play outside. The coaches are all great, knowledgeable and clear and the owners and pretty awesome. I highly recommend this gym to anyone in the area or dropping in!! Lots of social events as well to hang out outside the gym.”

“I recently had to leave Landform Fitness only because I moved and the commute became too long, but I wanted to share how great this gym really is. It’s easily one of the best values you’ll find — a true 24-hour gym with simple keyless entry, super affordable pricing, and a setup that feels almost like having your own personal gym.
There are rarely more than a few people inside (most times I saw 3–5 max), so you can just zone out and do your workout without waiting for equipment or being bothered. The space is clean, quiet, and has everything you need for a solid session.
If I still lived nearby, I wouldn’t have left. Highly recommend it to anyone looking for a no-nonsense, low-crowd gym experience.”
“I’ve been coming to the camp for 3 years and I love it! The staff are great and super supportive. The coaches motivate you to go hard, and provide exercises that can be adapted to beginners or for those with more experience. I enjoy coming before work and have seen amazing changes in my physical and mental health. I’ll see you at the next class!”

“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’ve been coming to MKFITNESS for months now & not only is it clean. But the moment you walk it the smell of the gym is luxury. I am obsessed! I love her group trainings. It’s always so uplifting and the women are all so kind. Really love this place.”

“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.

Each one of the instructors are fabulous! I love how they each have their own flair when it comes to dancing!”
“We brought our coaching team to East County CrossFit to learn the fundamentals of weightlifting and proper mechanics, and it was an excellent experience. Paul was incredibly thorough in teaching the key lifts and made the session both educational and fun. It was a great opportunity for our team to learn from someone with such deep knowledge and passion for strength and conditioning. Thank you, Paul, for sharing your expertise and giving us such a valuable session!”

“Looking for a true 24/7 gym?! Then anytime fitness is the place to be!
I absolutely love this place. Before coming here, I was used to the big Costco sized gyms. Here, I feel valued, seen and not embarrassed. It is the least intimidating gym I have been too. Best part? It’s small, intimate and you can come here anytime. Most of the machines will be available to you, and they offer so many services.
Jason earnest is my trainer, and he is fantastic! I feel so excited I come in every time to work on my goals. All the staff here is amazing, which makes me feel like welcomed here anytime.
Once you gain a membership, you can be sure there are other branches you can go to, to work on your fitness goals!
Shout out to Holli, the best manager! Definitely see her and get your goals started!
Thanks anytime fitness in Rancho San Diego!!”

The energy, the community, and the coaching are all top-tier. Whether you're swinging kettlebells for the first time or you're a seasoned athlete, the trainers meet you where you're at and help you grow from there.”
“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.”

“As a truck driver, I often train in different places across the United States.
This time my truck broke down and I ended up in the city of Santee. That’s when I found an amazing gym – Valiant Training Center.
I managed to do 2 training sessions in one day (kickboxing and no-gi BJJ).
The atmosphere was fantastic! From the very beginning, I felt very welcomed and like part of the team.
I learned some new and very interesting techniques that I will definitely be using.
The coach has many years of experience and professional fights under his belt. During our conversation, it turned out we had a lot in common.
This is a place definitely worth coming back to!
I highly recommend it to anyone who is nearby, and I hope to come back more than once 💪💪”
“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 like that there is never a crowd here. Also you can't get to the department you want without being stopped and asked if you need help. For some this is bad. I appreciate this. The associates that I have talked with have treated me with the utmost respect.”
