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.”

“We absolutely adore Ava at Body by Discipline! He’s been a huge help to my daughter’s confidence and she provides amazing personal training. Thank you so much!!”

“Crossfit ATR is a fantastic gym and has a great community. I have been training here for few months and I received nothing but positive vibes from staff and other members. The coaches are very friendly and knowledgeable and can assist members suffering from injuries throughout classes. In addition to 24 hour access, the gym is also very spacious and has a lot of equipment for all types of training and fitness levels.”

“Ditched my old gym because I recently moved to the hood and was looking for a new strength training gym that is close. Lucky me that I don’t have to look further! Liv Fit is a community driven gym that also has group training classes for women called Babes Bootcamp! The atmosphere was warm and inviting. Coach Kayla is a great instructor and keeps the tempo of the class going! Class size is relatively small in the evening. The gym is clean and plays throwback hip hop. Erryone in the this club isn’t getting tipsy; they’re moving to get healthy. lol. Looking forward to the challenge come June.”

“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.”

“Excellent personal training! I googled Hillcrest Personal Training and Jordan was the ONLY person to answer the phone. He’s insanely motivating and such a professional. I’ve become so much stronger in the few short months we’ve been working together. I recommend seeing him a couple times per week because of the motivation alone.”

“Great gym. Staff is friendly and knowledgeable. I've taken Natashas class an she is amazing at guiding you and showing you proper techniques. She has great energy to keep you motivated.”

“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...”

“Anna, Anna, Anna, WOW! Do yourself a favor and up your workout in the best possible way! I have been taking barre for a minute and this 60 min signature was fire! I loved her energy and overall personality to push you past where you have gone before. Next level. Grateful.”

“Dropped in while on vacation. Stopped in the day before to chat and everyone I met was very welcoming. I spoke with a few coaches and members the first day who gave some great reccomendations for our visit and helped us enjoy the trip to its fullest. When I dropped in, Brady was there to show me around. He was very helpful and seemed to really enjoy what he was doing. The equipment was all you could want and more. I didn't have enough time or energy to even experience 1/3 of the gym. But it is fully equipped and had everything from mobility stations, recovery station, a bodybuilding specific section, and all the crossfit or hyrox equipment available. I would love to drop in again next time I'm in town.”

“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.”

“Crossfit ATR has been absolutely phenomenal! When I moved to San Diego and reached out for a free trial class I immediately got a text from the owner, Adam, with a friendly welcome and details. Not an auto-generated message but a genuine person. Also, before my first class I spoke, on the phone with one of the coaches... again not with a chatbot or an automated message but a real person to ask some questions about membership. This was huge for me and I think where crossfit ATR really stands out is their personal touch, attention, and dedication to members. I moved from an area where I struggled to find a gym because there was a lot of red tape around classes and memberships (e.g., class limits, cancelation windows, no-show/late cancelation fees) which really made everything stressful and for the price of crossfit memberships it was frusturating. I had a lot of questions and concerns about this before buying a membership when I moved to SD and the staff really took the time to answer my questions; didn't direct me to a FAQs page or make me feel like it was an inconvenience. Crossfit ATR has lots of other great qualities, welcoming community, knowledgeable and friendly coaches, member events, plenty of space and parking, but the personal communication was really what I appreciated when I started. This was the first gym I tried in SD and I couldn't be happier with my choice.”

““Joined this gym recently and honestly had a really positive experience so far. The facility is clean, spacious, and well organized, with a good variety of equipment for both beginners and experienced members. Everything from cardio machines to weight training equipment looked well maintained and easy to use.”

“NXPT has been a huge part of my life since I started training there in January 2016. Over the years, it has been more than just a gym. It has been a place that keeps me consistent, challenged, and accountable.

I rarely make posts like this, and I am not the type to say a bunch of extra stuff just to make something sound better than it is. Yes, NXPT is hard. Yes, you will have to push yourself. But that is also the point. This gym continually pushes you to do more than you thought you could, and that is where the progress happens.

I know everyone has their own preferences when it comes to fitness, coaching, and training styles. At the end of the day, though, you have to be accountable for your own results. NXPT gives you the roadmap, the coaching, and the environment to do the work.

There are definitely days when I do not feel like doing certain movements or exercises. Guess what, I don’t do them. I modify to something close and keep moving. That is one of the things I appreciate about the gym. You can push yourself, but you can also adjust when needed and still get the work done.

The coaches are knowledgeable, supportive, and know how to push you without making you feel like just another number. The workouts are challenging, but scalable, and the community is one of the biggest reasons I have stayed for so long.

After training at NXPT for nearly a decade, I can honestly say it is one of the best fitness communities in San Diego. Whether you are just getting started or looking to take your training to another level, NXPT is a great place to be.

Highly recommend.”

“Tried their 3 free class offer and signed up for membership on the spot. Rache was an awesome instructor. Really cool and helpful especially since I was new and didn’t know some of the exercises. Can’t wait to go back”

“We were in town for a week and I was looking for a place to train while I was away from home. Read some of the other reviews about drop ins and found them to be accurate. Coaches and everyone in class was warm and welcoming. At no point did I feel like an outsider, as a white belt I was worried that this could be an issue. Morning class held a good pace and fun and informational. Highly recommended for anyone in town looking to train.”

“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 visited this studio from out of town and had the best time!! Quinton was a great coach and Connor at the front desk was super helpful and nice. Will definitely come back the next time I’m in town!”

“I've had a great experience at Xplicit. The gym is always clean, well-maintained, and has a welcoming atmosphere. The trainers are incredibly knowledgeable, supportive, and take the time to explain techniques properly.

Before joining, I had no idea how to box, but I signed up for a 4-week membership, and it completely changed my experience. I learned so much in a short amount of time and gained confidence in my skills. When my membership ended, I wasn't even aware of it, but the staff were kind enough to still let me register without any hassle, which really showed how much they care about their members.

It's the perfect gym if you're looking to have fun, learn boxing, get a great cardio workout, and train alongside an awesome community. I enjoyed it so much that I brought two of my friends, and they both loved it as well. Highly recommended!”

“I've had an excellent experience at this gym and truly appreciate the positive environment it provides. The facility is always clean, well-maintained, and equipped with everything needed for a great workout. The staff is friendly, professional, and always willing to help. What stands out most is the supportive community and motivating atmosphere that makes it easy to stay consistent with fitness goals. The trainers are knowledgeable and encouraging, helping members of all fitness levels feel welcome and confident. Joining this gym has been one of the best decisions for my health and well-being, and I highly recommend it to others.”

“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!”

“This is a great gym for working on your strength goals. The friendly environment and crowd will keep you motivated. Workouts are tough but great, and they encourage scaling to suit your athleticism and abilities, so no need to feel nervous if you’re new.”

“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!”

“My first time to Barry’s and it was challenging but such a great workout. I decided to try it out for the first time when I saw the theme: Swiftie Saturday. Maya was the instructor and gave a tour of the studio when I arrived. She went over how the class goes and it was easy to follow along to her cues. I felt so energized and strong just in one workout. The studio was really clean and easy to find and park. They provide towels for the workout so you don’t have to bring your own. The workout kicked my butt but it definitely motivated me to become stronger and push myself, and I will plan to come back again.”

“Had an epic class with Coach Deraun today! He is super friendly, caring, and observant, which are the best qualities for a coach to have. He did a great job pumping us up and pointing out our hard work as well as giving form feedback on the strength floor.

I’ve also taken classes here with Coach Michelle and she’s fantastic. The energy is radiant!”

“I've been coming here since late January of this year and love it! The classes are great workouts and I always leave tired and full of sweat. I came with no kickboxing experience but it didn't matter because the instructors are super helpful and help you along the way. They also do a great job at mixing the classes up so they're never the same. Cheryl, the owner, is very easy to talk to and always makes herself available to all customers. Highly recommend!”

“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..❤️❤️❤️❤️?”
