Best Gyms with Cardio Machines near La-mesa, California

Absolutely LOVE this gym and this location. They offer SO many classes and this location allows me to take hot yoga, heated mobility, spin, dance, and x45 (like HIIT) which are my favorites! (They also have many other classes here, too!) All in one building!!! The coaches are amazing, the people are amazing, and the results are amazing! 5/5 stars for sure! OH! And they have evening time classes which helps with my busy work schedule! They have classes throughout the entire day which has been SO convenient!

perfect workout place. i am in la mesa and used to do a similar workout in the previous state we lived in. these workouts are challenging but so much fun and rewarding after. just get up and do it. this has always been life changing for me and good for overall health and wellbeing. nice people as well. and they have yoga classes and spin classes which are also great.

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!

This is the best gym in San Diego. Actually, the best gym in the country. NXPT isn’t about getting fit or committing to a gym membership that you’ll be enslaved to. They truly care about your health and want you to get the most out of life! They say all the time that it isn’t about motivation, it’s about discipline. This place has grown our discipline in so many areas of our lives because we’ve been consistent in caring for our physical and mental health by working out here. If you’re looking for a gym that you want to be a part of, come try NXPT! They won’t sell you a promise or talk you into anything, it’s up to YOU and what you want out of life. Come train your body and mind here and I promise you’ll LOVE it!!

I love coming to NXPT’s spin classes! The trainers, especially Alejandro pumps you up for a fast-paced, high energy cycling session. It's a great way to add some cardio unto your routine. I always feel so comfortable and welcomed by each instructor, they truly do their best to make you feel your best!

These gyms are all so clean, and free of annoying "GYM bros" hogging all the equipment. There is a god variety of equipment and i love that there are other amenities such as infrared sauna, tanning, and massage chairs. They even have body fat machines to keep track of your progress and theraguns for recovery. all locations have showers and clean locker rooms. Did I mention that the price won't break the bank either? I haven't even mentioned the staff who are always so welcoming and friendly. I'll Chuze you every time! haha

You are always greeted when you come in which sets a great tone for your experience. Along with that, the staff goes above and beyond to ensure cleanliness to the gym. The equipment is nice and new and the functional workout room is a must!

I've been a Chuze member for a year now, and I'm still so happy I signed up. Chuze offers a large variety of classes taught by so many amazing instructors. The gyms are always clean, and the staff at any Chuze that I've been to are alwats friendly and helpful. Plus, I think the value I'm getting for my monthly membership fee is incredible.

Great gym! The staff is incredibly friendly and helpful, creating a welcoming environment. The facility is clean and well-maintained, making it a perfect place to work out and stay fit.

Edit: There are 17 different classes listed on your website. La Mesa only offers 6, most repeated during the week (Cycling 5 times, Zumba 5 times, Gentle Yoga 1 time, Silver Sneakers 1 time, Chuze Fusion, Tone N Sculpt 1 time). The only strength training class is Tone N Sculpt, and that's only once a week; no one's going to see results in class that's only 4 times a month. I feel like this location is geared to older adults, even though La Mesa is a normal suburban city. Original: I mean, there are a lot of positive reviews, but in searching for a new gym, I was really disappointed. There are some great classes listed on their website, but only a few of those are available at the La Mesa location. I called today to ask why, and was told they're in the process of hiring people and there should be a better selection of classes later in the year - but YOU can drive farther, to Santee, to get those classes. But I'm paying the same amount when they're only in the beginning stages of getting their classes in order? Haven't they been in this location a few years already? There are cycling and yoga classes several times a day, but no real strength training classes to choose from. Weird. This won't be my gym until they figure it out; I'm certainly not going to pay them to do it.

Almost zero customer service to fix even the smallest of things that get broken in just normal/routine use in the facility. There actions or in actions speak volumns that they just don't care about there members. No one seems to be in charge since nothing ever gets done. You should strongly consider other gyms if you are in the market for someplace to work out.

My roomie and I are currently looking for a place to become members for regular workouts. Very impressed by the professionalism and warmth in an initial phone conversation with a woman named Judy about their amenities, and class schedules–I had high hopes that this YMCA would be an ideal place to join. I visited last week on a 2-Day Pass, with the intent of taking my daughter's to use the pool, and at the same time, tour the place and hopefully, sign-up. To our dismay, we were told the pool was closed for maintenance, but to call the next day because it would more than likely be open. Sabrina took us on a tour of the facility while we were there. She was friendly and informative and I was further impressed with the competency of the staff. The place is smaller than other YMCAs, but nestled in a nice, peaceful area, at the end of a solitary road behind the Seau Park. It appeared clean, and there was ample parking available, and wasn't crowded when we were there. There was a good number of gym equipment, and comfortable areas to work out. We returned the next day and again received a professional welcome at the front office. I was convinced to join and intended to register before we left, after our swim. I wasn't so convinced after our swim though. Firstly, the lifeguard on duty hollared out to my daughter, as she swam past the 4'6 mark of the pool, "Young lady! Stay on this side... (motioning right with her hand towards the shallow end where my younger daughter and I were) You can't pass that point." Confused and startled, my daughter swam back towards me. Having read the rules on the second page of their pool schedule posted online, and also given an exact hard copy of it when on the tour, to my knowledge, their facility's rule as it should apply to my daughter's is "Ages 7-12: may use the aquatics facility with guardian, or if the guardian is located in the facility. Guardian must check the child in to the pool." No where does it restricted space to a quarter of the pool area (half the length of the pool was divided into 2 swim lanes and the other half was divided into 2 parts, in which my daughter was further restricted access to). My daughter, who is 12, may look younger than she is because of height, but she certainly looks older than 7, has been swimming since she was 4, and if observed for a minute, was clearly an able swimmer . Furthermore, the lifeguard didn't ask her her age, or see if she could pass the "swim test" as stated on their same pool regulation as their way of gauging a swimmers ability to be left unattended. She was denied use of certain areas of the pool, no reason or rule given. Note, aside from one other swimmer (who was using one of the sectioned off swim lanes) we were the only ones in the pool. The lifeguard didn't deem my daughter able to swim in the area provided, but she later considered her a good ebough swimmer to ask for her to position the floating line that she wanted in place to constrict her swim area to so she wouldn't have to get in the pool herself and get wet doing! If my daughter wasn't so welcoming of the challenge, I would have left right then. Also, lifeguard shift was changing so I thought I wouldn't have to deal with anything more. Wrong. As I was poolside aiming downward and snapped a photo of JUST MY girls as they floated together, the life guard yelled that there was no picture taking allowed. The swimmer in the swim lane, who apparently was a long time member for years, even questioned the directive as we both were under the impression that their rule was, as it reads, "PHOTOGRAPHY To protect everyone’s privacy, we ask that you refrain from taking photos of the pool. If a photo can be taken in a manner in which only yourself or your children are in the frame, you may take photos. During swim lessons, we ask that you only take photos on the last day of class in the aforementioned...." I even mentioned having read the rules, but the lifeguard wouldn't listen. Disappointed and disgruntled, I packed us up and left.

I can speak for the whole facility, but the swim lessons- I will not be doing here again. The teachers do not seem skilled and my daughter did not progress. We had much better luck at Kroc center and other place.

Smaller YMCA, with outdoor pool only. Very well used, with very friendly staff. Only drawback is the parking can be tight, as they share the parking with the pickle ball courts and sports area.

If you are a swimmer--DO NOT COME HERE! The staff is completely incompetent when it comes to the pool. It is not a one-time thing. This week alone, their pool has been closed 3 days out of 4, and the weekend before last I spent 45 minutes driving around East County to find a Y whose pool WAS open because they couldn't give enough notice that they were closed again. I have been a swimmer my entire life, and not only is this pool one of the most poorly maintained I have ever seen (never vacuumed/cleaned, they FORGET TO ORDER CHLORINE, and the jacuzzi has ben under construction for over TWO YEARS because they can't get their act together) but they treat swimmers like second-class gym members and our complaints to staff and the aquatics director fall on deaf ears. Once, the pool was closed for 3 months (after telling us it would only be for a few weeks) and even though I am signed up for text notifications, they usually come in the middle of the day, very late notice (I am a morning swimmer) and vague--along the lines of "we SHOULD be open but just call tomorrow in case we aren't". Many times, the lifeguards don't show up (at least two have to be working for the pool to be open) and one time they called in a replacement who then announced to his coworker in front of the entire deck that his certificate had expired that day and he shouldn't even be working! When swimmers have complained to the lifeguards about the pool being dirty, or why YMCA staff can't keep the pool open, the lifeguards have made rude comments in reply, along the lines of "well I can kick you out of the pool now and clean it". One time, the only way us swimmers were able to convince the staff to vacuum was by threatening to call the health department. The showers are old and since you can't control the temperature, there are days when they have been very cold and there's nothing we can do about it. My broke high school's pool from the 60s was better maintained and open more often than this one. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE. Since joining the Y, I have not been able to work out as much as I would like. Many have mentioned that this Y in particular has a "culture of laziness" and that would certainly explain why they try to skate by on doing the bare minimum and take forever to get simple things done. The swimmers constantly have to remind the lifeguards to even put out the pace clock. My coworker also tries--TRIES--to swim here with her two daughters, and when the pool actually is open and she is able to get in, the lifeguards will harass her and say that she can't swim with two children at a time, even though both have passed the swim test MULTIPLE times. I really am thinking of quitting soon--the only reason I have stayed as long as I have is because of the friends I have made here. But this has gone on for too long and I am sick and tired of missing my workout for the day simply because this pool can't be bothered to care.
