Best Fitness Center near San-diego, California

It is a beautiful area but why did they forget this area we are sitting on dirt watching our children play baseball theres bleachers in 3 spots but the fourth area is all dirt 🤔🥺🥺🥺

The facility itself is adequate. It seems to be regularly cleaned at least. It's smaller than other San Diego Y's and doesn't offer all the amenities of the larger Y's but at a basic level it does the job. However, I have to agree with other reviewers of this Y, the customer service (entry & front desk) in the mornings is awful. They are not helpful at all and quite often the employees in these areas, their attitudes border on arrogance. I find it to be truly comical. They lack knowledge about the YMCA's published policies & shouldn't be in a customer contact position at all. Additionally, Jackie Robinson Y, seems to have as many days when its closed or "closing early" as to days when it's fully open. But its one of the cheaper Y's in San Diego and you get what you pay for. On several occasions I've seen little girls who I assume are kindergarten or 1st, 2nd graders, inside the male locker room with their dad's, I guess. I've seen this not only at this Y but others in the area. There are signs asking men not to bring opposite sex small children into the male locker room. Strange they don't already know NOT to do this.

Worst customer service ever. They have an issue that they need to close the pool for around 2 weeks. I only pay my membership for my kids using the pool but we have to stop using that because of their issue. I asked to extend or refund my membership for those 2 weeks. Then they said they cannot do that. That meant I lost money for my 2 weeks family membership. It's so stupid, doesn't make sense to me. Why they could do that . I paid my membership for a month but can use only half month. Super stupid customer service. No more membership here.....

They are amazing! We have been stuck at home with flood damages and horrible mold smells when my apartments were not able to provide us with shelter but everyone else that was in the flood got hotel rooms and whatever reason they have we didnt get one … YMCA , they were able to provide us with a hotel and other resources. When i gave up they came to me like an angel 💜 our family really appreciate’s everything they are doing for us !

Spectacular state of the art facility with as many machines, weights, and classes as you could possibly need. The facility was very well maintained and the young man at the front desk was courteous toward us visiting from out of town. Our YMCA membership was easily found and accepted...we are thankful for the great customer service he provided. Highly recommend this YMCA if in San Diego!

Avoid this YMCA. Get your monthly membership elsewhere. Copley-Price Family YMCA is very poorly managed. You never see any leadership mixing with members, it seems they are too busy in their offices. Overall, there is absolutely no respect for the Customer Experience, the facility is filthy, smells, and staff are a joke. 1. They are replacing 20-30 year equipment, closing the fitness area FOR THREE DAYS!!!! Any other facility would complete the task overnight, but not the Y. They would rather inconvenience paying members for THREE DAYS. It's absolutely outrageous!!! (See picture) 2. Management closes the popular Meditation Room regularly for staff events when the Community Room, the Coffee Bar area, and other rooms are available. Management would rather inconvenient paying members than manage the facility correctly. (See picture of recent event) 3. Front Desk staff 4-6 individuals at any given time are on their cell phones, gossiping, slouching in their chairs daily. No, Hello, no goodbye, nothing!!! 4. Fitness Floor staff are a pathetic. They are always behind the desk staring at the computer. You ask for assistance and they act like they are being bothered. Some of them couldn't save you in the event of an emergency. For example, Eza walks around pretending to count people, his clothes don't fit, he bends over, and you see his arse, etc. Other floor staff are similar in their overall presentation. 5. The facility is filthy, dust everywhere, bathroom stained toilets, takes weeks for repairs of equipment and restroom facilities. Management has ONE outsourced facility hygiene individual for the ENTIRE FACILITY!!!! Absolutely no YMCA staff cleans or tidys up the facility. Just completely uncalled for. 6. 70-80% of staff are not Health or Fitness focused, most would be considered obese. So much for leading by example. Bottome line, I have never seen any manager visible or interacting randomly with members. No name badges, no information center with pictures outlining Management for Members to review. Just because this YMCA is in an socially and economically disadvantage area doesn't mean the Customer Experience should reflect such. Avoid this YMCA. Get your monthly membership elsewhere.

This location is awesome. The staff is very cool. I have been to all the locations, and this one is by far the cleanest. I used to complain about all the high school kids running around, but after seeing them acting more respectfully, I'm glad they are at the gym. A lot of kids are less fortunate to have such a great place to enjoy and do healthy activities rather than our on the streets doing drugs. They also just got all brand new cardio machines that are way better than any I've seen at other gyms. Love this place🤟

I never write pointed reviews, but I felt compelled to after seeing the last review by NATIVE SD posted with 1 star. Clearly, this man has WAY too much time on his hands to be complaining THIS much about a gym. Who complains about a gym replacing all cardio equipment? Like, you literally cannot please people LOL. I for one appreciate when I see my membership dollars being spent on renovations! This location is huge. Bright, airy, both indoor and outdoor work areas with some duplicates of machines, makes for easy access and minimal wait times. Other locations (looking at you, MV, are dark, dirty, and feel like you're in a dungeon). Here, they supply freshly laundered towels always, have full sanitizer bottles, and I always see someone cleaning the floors or windows when I am there. The staff has always been very helpful and kind to me whenever I need something; usually for messing up my locker combo .__. Calling these people "not health focused" and "pathetic" as NATIVE SD did is...a choice. Maybe a bit of projection happening there, who knows! The comment about the bathrooms being under repair, there are literally SEVERAL bathroom locations including locker room, downstairs near the coffee shop, outside facility area, AND near the pools. You will find a bathroom if one is OOO, I have faith! Anyway, love this gym and the vibes, keep up the good work and take all the time you need for new renovations ;)

Update: 10/9/24 I cancelled my membership at Copley and they never did it and keep charging me. I signed the application 3 weeks ago. No one cancelled my membership, no one contacted me about any problems with cancellation. I just found a new charge at the start of the month. I still haven't received my return. I am very upset with YMCA work, since there are no complaints about the gym itself, but the management of the organization is very bad. The employees do what they want and no one is responsible for anything. And when I asked to call the manager, they just brought me another employee who does not decide anything. As a long-time YMCA member, I'm usually very satisfied with the helpful and accommodating staff. However, I had a disappointing experience recently with an employee named Kal. When I requested assistance with parking my scooter, Kal seemed unwilling to help and instead complained to other workers about my request. It took several asks before he finally brought over a manager, who was able to quickly resolve the issue. Kal's passive-aggressive attitude made me feel uncomfortable. I hope the administration will use this feedback to provide additional customer service training to ensure all members receive the same high level of service I've come to expect from the YMCA.

The worst experience I've had with a YMCA. I've been a nationwide member since elementary school, but this one is by far the worst. They are literally incompetent and lack comprehension. Buyers & scholarship holders beware. They have charged my card about $200 over the last two months. I communicated with multiple people to ensure my card wouldn't get charged & a pause was issued. Despite my card rejecting the payments, my bank tells me they continue to run the card multiple times until a payment goes through. They harassed me, claiming I owed them a payment, only to later admit, "Oh, it was a mistake, you did pay..." Yet, they can't communicate when they decide to start charging my card $100 a month? This is insane. Finally put a stop payment on my card for this establishment. Start your membership at a different YMCA!

Very good service They have a wide variety of classes and instructors!

Super group, Excellent work 👍🙏

I’ve been a member for about a year now, and it’s been a fantastic experience! I tried out several other private gyms around SD, but my main priorities were finding a 24-hour gym that wasn’t crowded like commercial gyms. Warhouse checked both those boxes, and that’s why I chose it over the others. The staff is super friendly and personable, which really creates a welcoming vibe. I also really appreciate how much they emphasize gym etiquette—it definitely helps create a more respectful and positive community among everyone. I’ve even got a few friends to join, so I definitely recommend it!

This gym is awesome ! Cool ambient lighting to make working more chill , lots of options for machines including some homemade ones. Very private and secure and has a whole front room with a variety of drinks and food. Worth the money with how many cool things they have including a posing room lots of cool features!

Well-equipped gym with great atmosphere. Welcoming staff, top vibes. No better place to get a workout in while visiting San Diego!

Warhouse Gym is hands down the best gym experience I’ve ever had. This place is incredibly clean, secure, and safe. It’s truly top-notch. The cold plunge and sauna are perfect for recovery, and being open 24 hours is a massive bonus. The staff is always friendly and welcoming, which makes every visit feel like home. Plus, they’ve got everything you need to fuel up, from protein shakes and cookies to water. It’s a high-class gym, and I would never go anywhere else. If you’re serious about fitness and want a gym that feels like a community, Warhouse is the place to be! I just want to give a big shoutout to Richard and Lexy. Richard was incredibly helpful from the start—such a cool guy! He guided me through the signup process and made everything easy and stress-free. Lexy, on the other hand, brings such a heartwarming vibe to the place. She makes the gym feel like home and is honestly one of the coolest people I’ve met. They both make working out here a great experience. Just wanted to give you two your flowers as well. Thank you Warhouse, Thank you, Richard and Lexy, for everything!

Best gym in SD by FAR! This place is always clean no matter what time of the day you go, weights are never out of place, and staff and other members are super friendly. Everything you want in a gym, this place has. If you are thinking about joining or even trying out the day pass do it!! It’s definitely worth it.

I had an amazing experience at the studio! From the moment I walked in, the entire staff made me feel so welcomed and comfortable. Stephanie is an incredible instructor—she’s supportive, knowledgeable, and truly passionate about helping you improve. The class was fun, challenging, and empowering. The atmosphere is positive and uplifting, making every session! Highly recommend this studio to anyone looking to try something new or build their pole skills. 5 stars all around!

I took my first class last night with Heather and it was SO MUCH FUN! The V101 class is for first time students. It was a free class ( they offer no cost for your first class) and it was an introduction to the different classes and styles offered. Heather was so kind and made sure that at all times you felt safe and comfortable! They also offered special pricing on classes just for attending the first class. I signed up for the 8 class a month membership and CAN NOT WAIT to return!

I’m 42 and can’t do a pull up to save my life, but in the past 3 weeks, I’ve done my first headstand, learned and been able to do at least 6 moves on the pole, and have started to become more comfortable with moving my body in a more sensual way! The instructors are attentive, compassionate, and truly responsive to each individual’s fitness level and needs!!! Awesome safe space for all bodies!!!

This was my first time trying pole and it was AMAZING! Shyana was my instructor and she was so helpful with making sure we were all able to get the motions down correctly, even with having a big class! She brought so much energy & positivity into the classroom that made the environment feel super welcoming! I ended up getting a membership at the end of class because of how good it was! Overall an absolutely amazing experience, 10/10 recommend!!

I started coming to Vertica to try their 101 class.i have been to other studios before and this one has been my favorite so far. I really enjoy that we are able to track our progress on the mighty app, booking classes on the Vertica app is super easy as well. I really enjoy trying all the different classes and instructors. All the instructors have been super encouraging.

Love this gym! The workouts are constantly changing and stay challenging which I haven’t been able to find anywhere else. All of the coaches are awesome to work with and are extremely friendly and encouraging. Coach Fortune knows exactly what my capability is and pushes me to go harder and lift heavier while also giving me a breakdown of proper technique. Coach Heather is also extremely friendly, encouraging, and helpful in technique while having me challenge myself :)

I’ve gone to several gyms and this is by far the best. The coaches are incredible and so helpful. They are always motivating and making sure we do the work out properly.

F45 in Sorrento Valley has been a wonderful part of my fitness journey over the past 6mo. The coaches and the community they create make me want to attend the classes and events. Several of the coaches have helped me work through injuries and adapt various exercises so I can still push myself during the workout. Coach Fortune frequently checks in with me before workouts to see how I'm doing with various injuries, and gives me lots of encouragement during workouts. Coaches Darlene, Jefferson, Chris and Nilou have all been very helpful and encouraging as well. Great place, great people.

F45 has such a warm and welcoming community environment which was exactly what I needed to get me coming back day after day. The accountability element is much stronger than other gyms I’ve attended and the optional challenges take that accountability to a new level. All of the coaches I have worked with have been excellent. More recently, Fortune has coached me through an injury providing modifications and foam rolling exercises which has made a huge difference in my success and ability level. Additionally, he has a light, goofy demeanor that makes class fun and not too serious. Thanks Coach Fortune!

I've been going to this location for the past six months or so and I love these guys - it truly feels like our small gym rat family and we all know each other, more or less :) Facility is pretty clean, managers are very attentive and easy to approach with questions/comments. In terms of achieving your fitness goals, I am certain this is the place to try (obviously, all depends on your own dedication and motivation to change). I wanted to give a shoutout to coaches Nilou and Heather B for calling me out if I'm not loading up enough weight and pushing me to do better :D It shows that they care, see my potential and want me to grow.

I’ve been a member of Elevate for about three months now and even in this short time, I can already see huge improvements in my core strength! All of the instructors are great so you can’t go wrong with any of the classes. I started out with an intro package to try it out and was hooked. The classes will definitely challenge you - they get easier but they never get easy.

After attending regular pilates class, I switched to elevate training, which is more advanced, more challenging way to tune your body, to strengthen your core and prevent injuries. This is exceptional fitness class! Very effective and self motivating. Teachers are one better then another. So enthusiastic and professional. I am happy to be part of this group!

Love coming here and making lagree a part of my weekly routine! Absolutely love taking Maricel’s classes especially, when a part of my body is feeling sensitive or limited, she provides alternative moves to modify the workout while still feeling strong! 10/10!

Love this lagree studio. Instructors are the best. Music and lights are fun. Very welcoming community and a hard workout

Update: I still love being a part of this community! The instructors are top notch and the classes are always challenging but modifiable. Knowledgeable and friendly instructors, classes are challenging but modifiable to your fitness level, flexible schedules.

I started training here in December 2023. As soon as I started training here I stopped going to other gyms. I liked it so much I got my husband training here as well. We both train with Jon he’s incredible and we’ve seen massive results in losing weight and building lean muscle. This gym is clean, has great equipment, and easy parking. They also have an Inbody machine so you can track your progress, fat loss, muscle growth, etc. The best thing about Self Made is definitely the fact that you never have to wait for machines. You have to be working with a person trainer or have a VIP membership to use the gym which means it’s not over packed. I have a a busy schedule so being able to get in and get my workout done is priceless. The team here are super good vibes.

This gym though!! This is by far the most incredible facility I've been to. (and I've been too a lot). The gym itself is super clean, has amazing equipment, and overall a great environment. The trainers that are based out of the gym are all awesome and supportive. Everything is brand new and really cared for. This is a must go!

As a resident of the Del Mar area for four years, I've had the opportunity to explore every local gym. Without a doubt, Self Made Fitness stands out as the best, offering an exclusive experience. It's primarily a personal training gym with a team of highly knowledgeable and energetic staff. The new and top-of-the-line equipment gives you everything you need for a complete workout, including cardio equipment. I highly recommend this gym!

I’ve been to a few gyms in San Diego, small local private gyms, big chain gyms, and even garage gyms with one on one training, and Self Made Training Facility Del Mar is hands down the best experience I’ve had training in a gym. Equipment is brand new, the trainers and owners are awesome, the vibes are mellow but also motivating to get a sick workout in. The Del Mar location is more a place for professionals looking to get a good workout as opposed to the full gym bro vibe. (No hate, just clarifying the vibe there.) I’m at the gym 5 days a week, love this place and all the people there. Go check it out!

WOW !! What an amazing gym, I am not from this area and only traveling but am so glad to have came across this place. From the second I walked in I was welcomed and took care of immediately by the members. It’s very comforting, very organized, and very clean. Definitely one of the best gyms I have ever been in !! 🙌

I am a huge fan of Pvolve! The functional movement, working muscles I can never seem to work myself, and the great playlists keep me coming back. I already see a positive difference—I would highly recommend!!

Grateful for this workout: Pvolve is almost like physical therapy for me. A very smart, low impact workout that has helped me better move in my day to day life. I started going 3x per week 5 months after giving birth. It took a few classes for me to get used to the moves, but then I started feeling and seeing results pretty quickly. The workouts are still a bit challenging for me, so I often modify the moves. I find benefit in going to a less crowded class where the instructor has time to make sure you are doing the moves properly. Most of the instructors give excellent direction on how to correctly do the exercises, so you really need to listen. In addition to feeling stronger and tighter, a surprising plus, my cellulite has decreased.

Pvolve Del Mar is awesome! I love the workout format and all the classes are at such a great time for busy moms! I can make it after I drop my kids off at school or on my lunch break for the quick 12 noon classes! I love the instructors who are all knowledgeable and amazing and the front desk staff is always welcoming and friendly! I have met some amazing friends and it feels like the kind of workout studio you want to come to everyday which is helpful when you are working on goals and want to be consistent!! I highly Recommend Pvolve Del Mar!! 🎉❤️✨

Pvolve Del Mar is the absolute best! The studio is beautiful and the instructors are amazing. Each instructor truly takes the time to get to know you & make you feel comfortable and confident. Pvolve has truly made me feel stronger and the first workout I look forward to. Here’s to many more classes!

I love Pvolve!! It's an amazing full body workout that leaves you feeling strong, toned and energized. The instructors are all so knowledgeable and welcoming. The studio staff and members are all so welcoming and I look forward to every class!

I am 70 years young and have joined the Y several weeks ago. I look for group classes to motivate and make connections with my like minded classmates. Our instructor Eddie is welcoming and inclusive in his instruction. I appreciate his highly motivating style and education of the body. Please consider expanding these type of classes. Thank you.

Pro: It's close, convenient and good value . Con: the choice of music is less than desired at this borderview y...not all paying members care for their ultra high volume speakers blasting their personal choice of dancefloor music in the gym

They never clean the gym floor. If you see the floor when sunlight comes in through the window, you will see a lot of dust and trash everywhere. I better look for different gym asap.

This was the location of my covid-19 vaccine. The organization was great. There were people arriving without the proper documents. Yet the staff treated them fairly and rapidly. The time waiting was reasonable compared to the people present. The YMCA was very clean and well organized. Congrats 🥳 for providing this great service to our community.

Claudia and Victoria were extremely helpful and friendly. Would definitely recommend.
