Malka Nagel Nice solid planet Fitness off of University and 70th. Plenty of parking. Good strong AC and the standard large jumbo ceiling fans. Plenty of equipment and different zones. Morning crowd was pretty busy on a weekday morning

Alex Clean facility with decent AC and friendly staff. I was last here several months ago and theyve really tidied the place up. The lockers and bathrooms are cleaner and theyve added more and better machines, including a proper double cable machine. This is also the only PF in the county Ive seen with actual barbels and genuine power racks, as opposed to the Smith machines every other location has.

Margarita D I have been waiting for the jacuzzi to be working for a long time. Last time they lied to me saying that part had arrived they were just waiting for installation. Know after week I call back to make sure it is working before I make the trip. Due to my pain in my body. Representing told me it’s is not working . When I questioned him about what I was told? He said “ I only say what the manager wants me to say” I responded to him” Wow! They must not pay you enough to care” thank you. I pay monthly dues and extra for massage chair do to my leg pain. To not take medication this brings sothung to my legs. Not only the place is filthy in the sauna but there has been many things not repair even the simple thing like a shower head in handicap. The floors water accumulation in corners of sauna and a awful smell. You can literally see the dark water. They have not maintain the place. If you call main number it send you to call the location you are complaining about. The manager tells you how expensive the part is and how they are just waiting for part. How can a business with so much money coming in monthly continue with this? If you are a member please help me to get this matter taken seriously.Thank you. If you are not a member you might want to look for a better alternative.

Stephanie Lamb Joining this gym has been one of the best decisions Ive made for my fitness journey. The classes push me physical and are constantly changing so you don’t get bored. The coaches and owner are welcoming, fun, and knowledgeable, always ready to offer guidance and support. Plus, the atmosphere is motivating, and music is amazing making every workout session enjoyable. Also, they allow well behaved adorable puppies. What more could you want. Highly recommend!

Fernando Crespo Best equipped CrossFit/Gym on the south bay area, been a member for 7 years and every year they invest on new equipment.

Carlo N. Chuze Fitness is a popular upper middle class gym club in SD. They have different locations throughout SoCal. This location is very spacious and clean. They have all the weights and barbells, locker rooms, cardio machines etc. I like their facility, staff and the protein shake bar. Free wifi and parking are available. Overall, I recommend you Chuze.

Sara Busby I’ve been training with Lindsey 3x/week since November 2024. I have seen such a transformation with my body and my mind. My original goal was to lose weight and find motivation and consistency. Her workouts are hard but SO effective and they’re tailored for each client. It isn’t just a generic workout she gives to everyone. The first 30 days are a nutrition reset where you’re eating clean and not drinking alcohol. It was very challenging but after that 30 days, I had already developed great habits so it was easy to turn that into an everyday thing. I owe a lot to Lindsey - for improving my health, toning my body, and giving me confidence. She has the BEST energy and I honestly still look forward to going to each session. She makes everything fun and is so good at motivating. It’s the absolute best investment you can make in yourself! DO IT

Filipe Albergoni I can’t say enough good things about this gym and its incredible staff! The trainers are professional, positive, and truly invested in your success. Every class feels organized, supportive, and fun. As someone with ADHD, I find the big screens showing the workouts especially helpful — they make it so much easier to stay focused and confident throughout the session. It’s one of the few gyms where I actually feel seen and supported. Highly recommend this place to anyone looking for structure, motivation, and a team that genuinely cares about you!

Jill Bormann Ive been a client since 2015. Working out with Tamara has been the BEST investment Ive ever made for my health and wellbeing. (And I have had other trainers to compare with)! The key *advantage* is that Tamara REALLY "listens" to you. She knows her stuff! She is comprehensive and compassionate! She takes into account ALL aspects of fitness and stays current with the latest science on health, fitness, psychology, biology, etc. I highly recommend her!

Ashley Salinas This place is much more than a gym. Its a wonderful community. The trainers are great, member are welcoming and friendly. Its a great atmosphere, that is supportive of whatever your goals may be. The work outs are guided classes with a trainer, except Fridays which are a work at your own pace white board style or you can come in and work on whatever you want with a trainer around to help or answer any questions. I love the variety, never repetitive or boring.

Marci The absolute BEST gym I’ve ever been to. From the trainers, members, and to the changes in my body - nothing compares! I hope to always be a part of this wonderful community. It’s nothing fancy but it’s solid and works! All I’ve had to do is show up and the workouts are set up for me. I’ve never felt more motivated or loved a gym until Hardcore Fitness. I actually look forward to coming to the gym now, whereas before it was a dreaded chore. The workouts are done in a class setting with a trainer - the advantage of having a personal trainer daily without the high costs. You would be doing yourself a favor to give it a try as they offer a 5 day free pass. Hope to see you there!
