Fitness & Gyms near Lemon Grove, CA

“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.”

“"Body By Discipline has truly been a game-changer for my son! From the moment he walked through the doors of the boxing gym, he fell in love with the atmosphere and the sport. Coach Chris and the entire team have been incredible mentors and motivators for him every step of the way.Their dedication to his training and development has been evident from day one. Not only have they helped him improve his boxing skills, but they've also instilled discipline, confidence. It's been amazing to see the transformation in my son, both physically and mentally, since he started training at Body By Discipline.The positive and supportive environment they've created at the gym has made all the difference. My son looks forward to every session, eager to learn and challenge himself under the guidance of Coach Chris and the other coaches. Their expertise, patience, and encouragement have truly helped him reach new heights in his boxing journey.I can't thank Body By Discipline enough for the impact they've had on my son's life. It's more than just a gym; it's a community that fosters growth, resilience, and a passion for the sport. If you're looking for a place where your child can thrive both athletically and personally, look no further than Body By Discipline. Highly recommend!"”

“I joined CrossFit ATR at a point in my life where I didn’t know what I needed - I felt lost and uncertain and so incredibly awkward. You know that feeling in your gut when you’ve made a HUGE, life-changing decision and now you have to rebuild? Everything is new and terrifying and exciting all at the same time. That’s where I was in every aspect - job hunting, volunteering, apartment hunting, and trying to find my “home” among the massive fitness community in San Diego.
I’d been a CrossFit enthusiast since I started back in 2015 but love variety and trying new things, so I was open to whatever felt right. Maybe I needed something different?
For over a year I tried out dozens of gyms, including most of the CrossFit locations. There are SO MANY incredible facilities, talented coaches, and effective fitness programs in this area, it can honestly be overwhelming. “Where do I even start?”
Well, if you started here in the Google reviews and want some unsolicited advice from a long-winded internet stranger - TRY CROSSFIT ATR!
Turns out, that “something different” that I needed was genuine, soulful connection with good-hearted, compassionate, and hardworking people.
The community is unmatched because the leadership is unmatched. The owner, the head coach, the general manager, the coaches - they don’t just talk the talk, they walk the walk. And they don’t do it for the recognition or the aesthetics (which is rare in the fitness industry tbh). They don’t tear down other gyms or coaches to make themselves look better. They just show up for their people day in and day out with the intention of changing lives. And they DO.
It’s beautiful to witness and humbling to experience.
I hope everyone who’s searching for their new CrossFit home in San Diego (or maybe trying CrossFit for the first time!!!) finds what they’re looking for??”

“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.”

“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 came in for a drop-in class on a trip to San Diego a few weeks ago, and I am so thrilled I found this gym. Super easy to book a drop-in and very communicative leading up to the workout. Both the coach and the other class participants were extremely friendly and encouraging. The workout kicked my ass in the best way possible and the coach was very attentive as I worked out. I will definitely come back when I visit San Diego!”

“Was looking to up my workout game and CrossFit Darkside was the answer! Have enjoyed the clean gym, happy staff and challenging environment. Thank you for the push!”

“Best gym hands down. has all the equipment you can think of , no matter the time it never feels crowded because of how spacious it is. Omar and the rest of the staff are really nice and helpful, highly recommended.”

“Great gym, great people and great coaches.

Super accepting and no pressure or judgement! Just encouraging vibes.

Been going for about 2 months now and can’t stop going back.

Come give it a shot, beats the hell out of your locks corporations (24, chuze and planet fitness) I’ve done them all and it’s not even comparable.

This gym rocks.”

“ATR is an amazing gym with an incredible community. You will feel like family after a workout. The coaches are knowledgeable and ready to help. They have an easy system for seeing the workouts, signing up for class, etc. Can't say enough good things about ATR. Try them out!”

“I’ve been coming here for the past few weeks and have had an incredible experience! The staff and members are all so welcoming, creating a comfortable and positive environment. It’s the perfect place to get in an effective workout while feeling supported every step of the way. ?”

“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!!!”

“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 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.”

“OT Bankers Hill has quickly become my favorite place to be other than home. I joined the last week of June with a goal of lowering my cholesterol - and now the last week of August have learned it has already dropped 17 POINTS!!! I cant say enough good things about OT, the coaches, and the staff. Everyone has made me feel welcomed and strong even though I am not at my fitness goals. This is a place of acceptance and growth. Truly would not be in the mindset I have today without this place. I cannot wait to see my progress over the next year!”

“This is honestly the best gym ever. The trainers are invested in your growth and fitness. Whether you want a general fitness program, to train to compete, this gym has it all. I started off coming for a general fitness program after having kids and now consider myself an athlete and participate in competitions. It adds a wonderful layer to your life!”

“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!”

“After doing research on personal trainers, I ended up finding Xavier at Liv Fit. I’ve Been working with him since January and I’m stoked on the progress. I’m down 24 lbs of fat, kept my muscle, and still living a fun, balanced lifestyle.
Xavier knows what he’s doing, pushes you just enough, and makes training enjoyable. The vibe at the gym is great too, the owners and staff are always welcoming .”

“I dropped in here for one week while attending a conference at the convention center. As a long time athlete, I have dropped in to many gyms in many different cities. I felt instantly welcomed and like a part of the community rather than someone taking up a regular member’s space. The gym itself may appear small for some non-city folks, but let me assure you that the layout can easily accommodate a decent sized class and the coaches are excellent at the logistics to make class run smoothly. They have all the necessary equipment for any type of workout (including an assault runner which can be very hard to come by) and all the equipment is very well maintained. All in all what makes this place special is the people that make up the community and I am so thankful I got to be apart of it even if for a short while! I hope to be back soon for another visit!”

“Yhis is not just another workout place. This is extended family. The Team members care, motivate, encourage, compete, support and want to make sure you are successful in achieving your goals. You can feel the love..❤️❤️❤️❤️?”

“Visited this location while traveling for work and they were great! I took classes with Jared and Christine and both were fantastic. Christine took time to get to know before class and she really brought the energy my jet lagged self needed”

“I recently joined CKO kickboxing and had wonderful experience doing one on one sessions with Sam! He is very knowledgeable and very skillful! He pushes you to be better and corrects your technique effectively, I already see great progress in my fighting skills in short amount of time ! Very fun to work with and you will get great cardio.Highly recommend!”

“Coach Mar and Alex are top notch trainers and motivators. Their facility is awesome, clean and inspiring, as are they as coaches. They have created a great vibe and atmosphere that’s equally fun as it is intense. I’m a huge fan, as is my 12 year-old son, which speaks to the range of their ability to train both young and old!”

“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!”

“Joining The Camp Transformation Center has been one of the best decisions I’ve ever made for myself. When I first started, I was feeling unmotivated and stuck in my fitness journey. I knew I wanted to make a change—not just physically, but mentally too.

Through consistency, dedication, and the incredible support of the coaches and community, I pushed myself harder than ever. The workouts challenged me, but each week I could feel myself getting stronger, more confident, and more disciplined.

I’ve lost weight, built muscle, and gained so much self-confidence along the way. ? My energy is up, my clothes fit better, and I finally feel proud of the person staring back at me in the mirror.

This journey reminded me that change doesn’t happen overnight, but it does happen when you stay committed and trust the process.

Huge thank you to everyone at The Camp for believing in me, motivating me, and helping me crush my goals. This is just the beginning! ?”

“First time here, and such a quality gym ??. The space is very clean, organized, plenty of equipment, and I think never had to wait for a machine. The staff was very helpful with any questions I had, and the music is ?. I highly recommend the gym, and I will be coming back!”

“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 was down in SD with my family for some clean air during the fires and needed a workout. The team over at invictus was so kind to host us for a workout and welcomed us with so much warmth and kindness. On top of that, the gym is just DOPE!!! Tons of space tones of equipment and super helpful staff.”

“Did a drop in here with some friends while visiting SD and they were so welcoming! We had Coach Steph and she was so friendly and made the experience a lot of fun. Definitely a fun box to visit while in San Diego!”

“Best gym in the city, exceeded my expectations in every aspect. The facilities were top-notch, the staff was friendly and helpful, and the atmosphere was motivating. I'll definitely be returning!”
