Best Gyms with Free Weights near National-city, California

Cannot tell you HOW disappointed I am in this location. I LOVE planet fitness...BUT.. The men who go to this club are sloppy children. The change room floors are ALWAYS wet, and the men act like the change room is their private hotel room. I caught the WORST case of athlete's foot here EVER. The staff cannot police these people. Adult children, who just do whatever they want to. I had to change in the bathroom stalls. I had to use the disinfectant, that a surgeon friend of mine uses for surgery, to kill the fungal infection on my feet. AND.. they are NOT open 24 hours. The san diego owner, doesnt want to (??). AND.. they close early on the weekends(??) AND.. they only have ONE leg press machine, as well as ONE of other pieces of exercise equipment. The staff have no real sense of authority over this gym. Total anarchy. PLUS some of the women are very belligerant as well.They will NOT share the exercise space, will NOT move over even one inch to give you room to do your workout. They act like they OWN the place?? I will NOT be going back to this location, and hopefully I will be MOVING out of san diego.

So nice! 👍🏿 Hidro massage bed! 🌊 😁 Massage chairs! Good experience Great service... Get your black card membership! 😁👍🏿

This place is excellent the staff and management are very welcoming. Definitely a non judgmental environment. If you’re just getting into the gym this is a good start.

New updates to the gym are top tier work. Soo much more space, they took out all the unused machines that were just collecting dust and brought in new cool equipment. There's easier accessibility to barbells and dumbells and soo much more stretching space. I love it, way to go PF!

Amazing brand new equipment also the people are cool with really good vibes along with the workers who are very helpful also the bathrooms are extremely clean highly recommend it👌😎

Alex and Melanie are top notch. Had a great experience there Thursday. Thank you Chuze Fitness. They helped welcome my son back from Army bootcamp. My family will never forget this.

I love Chuze Fitness—it's my perfect gym! I just wish not so many people knew how great Chuze is because it can get really busy around 5 or 6 PM. I've been with Chuze for about seven years and remain loyal. I don't even consider other gyms! Chuze truly hits the sweet spot: plenty of amenities, convenient locations, top-notch machines, and an unbeatable price. Other gyms charge double the price for half the amenities—seriously! I've recommended Chuze to several people and even got three friends to join me, and they're all happy with it.

I like the gym for the workout, overall the facility is big, and for the most part is clean. My rating is low because, in my opinion, the staff needs improvement as far as customer service. There a couple of exceptions, George and the general manager for example. But other than that, the staff is is not very friendly. I keep going here because of my commute to and from work. But that’s about it. Would be willing to update my review, upon customer service improvements.

Seriously such a great price for the amenities and equipment and uniform cleanliness that is provided ,and to be able to try out every location in San Diego! Great job always greeting me and keeping everything so clean ! I remember leaving my pricey water bottle in the sauna and not going back for a few months and then still having it when I ask just to see if they had it! They had it, it was a red bottle with an f on it and they didn't throw it out! I'm a huge fan of the chuze gym because of that and many more, I got the 26$ a month and it's worth it, I work around San Diego and I find it so cool two have chuze gym wherever I work at for that day ! This gym is the bomb! 💣 💥 I'm happy here so I'm going to share,an experience! 💯,%awesomeness

The staff, George, Natalie, and Lian are all great. The gym isn't too full most of the time so I can get a good workout in while not having to wait for equipment to free up.

Genna. The best coach! I had the great opportunity to work together and she is a woman who always has a smile for you. I will miss you, thank you for all the time pushing me and making me realize that I can do it. ❤️

Working with my fitness trainer, Mrs. Genna, at Crunch Gym - LaBonita- San Diego, has been such a wonderful experience. The professionalism, patience, expertise and kindness she extends has been helpful for me in working on my fitness and recovery (scoliosis and car accident) goals. She always took time to research best practices on my behalf especially when I needed my exercises altered for specific needs. I’m fully pleased to work with Mrs. Genna and find value with every training session. I highly recommend her to anyone in need of a skilled and caring genuine trainer! Mrs. Genna will have your back !!! Thank you G !

Has everything you need for your fitness journey, and if you’re looking for and can afford one on sessions, I’d recommend Tarik (I believe they call him TK). Very friendly, patient, and easy to talk to about your goals. The parking is a bit of a nightmare, sure, but it is tied to a mall after all so that’s to be expected. I’ve found it’s easiest to find decent parking either super early or about 2 hrs before they close. The free weight area gets a bit congested (as do other areas cause it’s not a small gym, but it can get packed), though I’ve found people don’t take too long in that area and you’ll usually cycle in fairly quickly. They have a large area for cardio (treadmills, stairmaster, elliptical, etc), and a back room with mirrors for classes, bars with TRX bands, color foam boxes(?), stretching/warming up, and a smaller free weight area. Once you sign up, the app shows classes you can sign up for, and I’ve seen it range from Zumba to HIIT workouts; I’ve never joined one myself, but they seem fun if you’re not feeling the lone workout that day. Anyway, good gym, friendly staff, best of luck 👍🏽 and if you wanna test it out yourself, just sign up for the 3 day pass/trial. It will send you an email and you just activate it at the front desk.

Coming to the gym has been my savior, emotionally, physically and mentally. I like coming here, the staff are so friendly and place is always clean. I wanted to take my workout to another level. I started training with TK for 7 months now and seen a difference in my physique and strength. I love training with TK, every time I have questions or concerns he always there to answer my questions. If I mess up on lifting or my stance he always lets me readjust and doesn’t judge me. I’ll be honest at first i thought having a trainer would be intimidating and I will be judged. But TK actually makes me feel so comfortable, relaxed and gets me excited to go to the gym and helped me get my confidence back. I can now go to the gym with confidence. Not only he’s an amazing trainer but became friends. If your looking for a personal trainer, someone you can feel comfortable with and know you’ll get a good workout, TK is the man to do the job.

All the single ladies, this is the place to be. Let me elaborate. Usually at any gym, I have more girls interested in me, then I'm interested in. This gym is different. Also I know for sure 3 girls so far have found their soulmates here. I almost found mine too. But she chose half of me. I was all in for her. But I guess she didn't have the confidence to walk up to me after chasing me for months. I was so ready for it too. Silver lining l, I got a whole lot more than I can ask for. So, I guess her loss. Charlene, I wish you were smart enough. Lol! Regardless, this place has a very different vibe and energy. If you are having fun, you will have fun here. Believe me.

Seems like they have a plumbing back up in the locker room. Smelled like a sewer. Honestly why is this so hard for PF to figure out? The members pay the money, and some of the money is used to maintain the facilities. It shouldn’t be that difficult for someone with a brain to understand. I used the planetfitness.com website to cancel my membership without even needing to sit down with any employees. I guess that’s a positive…

Far cleaner PF than the one in Chula Vista, although does not have that locations' attractive, fit staff. Also, there are no homeless/vagrants outside like the Chula Vista PF. Has a weight scale and the biggest lockers I have ever seen. Unfortunately, the amount of lockers seems half the amount of most PF's. But, it does have a roomy Black Card area. Appears owned by the same franchisee as the C.V., location, but actually has HOT water in it's showers (unlike C.V. that never replaces its faulty hot water heater).

Equipment is new, however different weight markings than the other ones I have used at other PFs. Decent parking. However the music is way too loud and the televisions on two of the three stationary bikes did not work

Can even cancel the damn suscripcion easily. That's not good really bad administration and useless help

This is a good place to keep the consistency Of your workout.There's not a whole lot of muscle building machines... I do respect that the machines you Clean yourself.

Daygo Performance has an outstanding crew! Although I started in December 2023 of last year, I didn't start consistently until January 2024. Being a full-time student and a busy mother, their hours fit my schedule. Among the best trainers I've ever had is Bryce. He is incredibly knowledgable and readily available to help with form correction when I need it. His exercise regimen is unique to me and tailored to my demands. In the short time I have been training there, I have observed significant improvement. He always has a big smile on his face and an optimistic outlook. I couldn't have asked for a better trainer.

Cannot say enough about Daygo Performance. Each time I step inside, I leave better, stronger, happier, more accomplished than before. DeAndre is my trainer, I had been referred to him by a friend fall of 2023 and was making excuses on distance, time, etc. to why I wasn't ready to make a commitment. I am a former athlete and mother of three college age kids, approaching my 50's! In May 2024, there was a 60 day challenge, I decided to take the plunge. The distance I drive and the time I put in to come and train with DeAndre is worth every second and every penny. DeAndre is knowledgeable, experienced and has the overall approach of how to help his clients become successful with their training goals. He takes weight and measurements regularly and gives monthly recipe packs. I have never had a trainer ask me, "Is there anything I can change or improve to help you?" He is authentic, he cares and he loves his job. Since I started, I am stronger, have more energy, endurance and can run 1.5 - 2 miles!! If I have a joint issue, he will modify my workout for that day tailored to strengthen around that area. DeAndre is also open to ANY question I have and he's very personable and approachable. He's positive, encouraging and will also help you push yourself to meet your goals. I highly recommend DeAndre, Bryce and Daygo Performance.

DeAndre’s gym, Daygo Performance, is a perfect place to begin or continue your fitness journey. Stew is extremely knowledgeable, patient, and motivating. He will assess your fitness goals and help you become the best version of yourself. Not to mention the great atmosphere that him and Bryce create with great music and great vibes. Everyone is super friendly, trainers and clients alike. You’re going to look forward to coming here!

I started training with Bryce a year and some months ago and I couldn’t be happier with my experience with him. He is one of the most professional, hardworking people I’ve ever met. He is always at the gym making sure, his clients are safe and giving their best effort. He also makes sure that everything is always clean and in place. He is knowledgeable and preaches by example. All these while keeping a great attitude and showing his amazing dance moves 😄 I am 44 and in the best shape of my life thanks to him. If you are serious about transforming your life come see him and Stew, they both are great and you won’t be disappointed.

Deandre is a wonderful trainer. He makes my workouts customized to the level that I am at. He does a great job at keeping you motivated. The gym has a very welcoming environment and everyone is super friendly. I would recommend and have recommended this gym to people that want to workout and work on improving their health.
