Best Gyms with Free Wi Fi 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!

super nice staff with very polite and courteous gym members. nobody ignores their cardio and diet. everyone goes hard and lifts heavy yet still maintains proper form and full range of motion. i think there is only one guy who only guy does triceps push downs and slams the weights after every set so everyone knows he’s there 😆🏋🏼‍♂️ if i were to score this gym against every gym in the country i would say 8.7? 8.9 maybe. there is room to park a tractor trailer and get a shower lift some weights and eat some tacos 🌮

I like this gym a lot glad I am a member here’s a few pictures of this location also video message me for any ?

This location was nasty. Absolutely gross. The red light and tanning booths both hadn't been wiped down at all. The gal at the front had an attitude and said it's the customers job to wipe them down. It's not. It's yours. People go into these things barefoot. You do NOT allow one person to go in there and then leave it as is for th next. That's how disease is spread. It's beyond gross and I'm beyond disgusted. I just payed an extra $39 this month, on top of my regular gym membership fee, for the upkeep of equipment. What a RIP OFF!!!!! Not to mention, the hours here in CA all suck. Even Bend, OR has a CLEAN gym and is back to 24 hrs weeks. I'm so disappointed. Do better. I hate leaving nasty reviews, but this is the final straw for me. There is a law to make sure that places like this are kept clean to keep the public safe. I only get 2 min to get ready to get into the red light/tan booth. Those 2 min have been used up CLEANING your equipment. Not cool. Also, there's no trash cans in any of these rooms. The dirty paper towels go on the floor...? Today I actually thought about canceling and switching gyms. So lame...I wish I could leave a much nicer review, because the one guy was super nice when I first came in.

I've been to plenty of planet fitness around the area but this one was the cleanest. It's a smaller gym but all their equipment works nicely. Kinda hard to find a planet fitness with all the equipment working correctly. Shout-out to the worker Roberto for showing me around. 🤝

I have been to many other PF locations and this one has by far the worst looking locker room/shower experience of any that I have visited so far. I have had better in many other 3rd world countries. I can’t take photos in the locker room for obvious reasons, so just envision layers of filth and hair and grease.

I always have an amazing experience at the gym, thanks to my dedication and two outstanding staff members named Erica and Shelby! This front desk duo at the gym is truly remarkable, effortlessly navigating a wide range of situations with style and grace. Whether managing membership inquiries, addressing concerns, or handling busy rush hours, they consistently maintain a warm smile and a positive attitude. Their ability to connect with diverse clientele, from seasoned athletes to newcomers, fosters a welcoming atmosphere that enhances the gym experience for everyone. It’s inspiring to see how they remain composed and professional, turning potentially stressful moments into seamless interactions. Their dedication truly makes the gym a better place. Their teamwork is impressive, and they genuinely go above and beyond to ensure every member feels welcome. I can’t recommend working out enough— especially with them at the front desk, they truly elevate the overall experience! Five stars!

They were able to pull off a decent PF from a less than average retail plaza. They have all the same equipment as others but it’s a tight design and not much room. Other than that it’s good. Always recommend a Black Card

I tried going for a bit,good part of a year, but after not feeling comfortable going because of how the equipment seemed to be in need of repair a lot, not to mention this location not having classes, abd trying to join class at other locations was just to difficult, I canceled my membership. The only thing they ever asked if me was "Why are you canceling?" Not how things could have improved or been better. Staff was overall nice. Hated going because if I wasn't early then i couldn't use the machines I wanted, and alot of the younger gym goers just didn't follow the rules of common courtesy and it never really seemed to be enforced. Lacking in free weight options compared to other gyms I'd been a part of. Only really good plus was location to my house, and staff was generally friendly at least.

Terrible experience, completely unprofessional gym, staff and management! Went it weeks prior to cancel membership which I was forced to do because they do not give you an option on the app. So upon going into gym to sign I was canceling my membership the staff at counter could not get the computer to work so they wrote a note and assured me I would be getting an email which I never received. Now upon next cycle I’m charged so I not call the facility and speak with Sean to find out the manager because I have had no help so far, was told there was never a note made and given time manager will be in which is not all Weekend long on a Friday morning. Unprofessional all around. Will be returning Monday to re do canceling my membership and upon refund I will take post down other wise this stands as worse gym to go to.

The owner of this franchised PF doesn't clean it very well. One of the showers is leaking water from the spout, about a gallon every 2 minutes. This has been going on for a couple of weeks. Before that, another one was leaking as bad and wasn't fixed or turned off for about a month. And that one still isn't up for use. The staff are very good and are friendly.

I've been working with Alexa, as my personal trainer, since March of last year. I have increased my strength and feel very strong as a result of her expertise and encouragement. She is kind, fun and makes working out not seem like a chore! We have great conversations and she never stops pushing me to lift more and heavier. The gym is nice; as a 51 year old woman, I never feel awkward about being there. I'd love for some new mats (they are old), but overall I love working out here, and Alexa makes it even better!

Front desk girl at this gym was extremely helpful and polite. If not for her, I would probably give this place 3 stars. Only has one squat rack and much of their equipment is dirty and disorganized. Overall, not a terrible gym.

Wow let me start off by saying this is my favorite Crunch location. The staff are super friendly and greet you with a warm welcome feeling as soon as you walk in. The facility is always super clean and nice. (: I would recommend everyone to this gym. Try it out !

I have been a member at this gym for about a year and a half now. I love the gym, it is spacious, it has a sauna among other things and the staff is awesome. I joined their personal training program around May 2024 with Sophia. The whole PT team is great, very knowledgeable and encouraging. Sophia cares about her clients and works with me to reach my weight training goals. With her help I have been able to hit personal bests several times and feel very confident in the gym. She is very knowledgeable about weight training, nutrition, and how everythung works together to obtain the best results from my workouts. I highly recommend Sophia and the rest of the PT team here at Crunch Fitness University.

First and foremost, I came to Crunch with little to no experience in the gym. I, of course, was initially intimidated. Three months later, the Crunch at University Square has become my "safe space". The clientele are friendly, non-judgmental, respectful, and largely serious about working out. The staff are beyond welcoming. They are genuinely interested in the well-being of the gym goers and are invested in seeing them grow. I often see the staff assisting and advising different individuals on their own time. HOWEVER, the MOST generous, helpful, caring and supportive staff member is unquestionably their personal trainer, Sam. I have had the good fortune of training with Sam for 3 months now, bi-weekly. I have seen a dramatic change in my physique. And it's not just me; my family, friends and acquaintances constantly comment on my transformation. Sam has a Degree in Kinesiology and is working towards her DPT (Doctor of Physical Therapy). She is not only encouraging but extremely knowledgeable. For someone who is just beginning, intermediate, or an expert in the gym, I can guarantee Sam can teach you something new about your body and yourself. I had hoped to grow physically as a result of taking personal training... And I did. But I never dreamed of how much I would grow on a personal level. Sam has helped me reach my goals inside and outside of the gym. Would recommend! Thanks so much to everyone at Crunch and a big Thank You to Sam for helping me become my best self. -Oliver Maurice Martin

I wanna give a shout out to the employee Jonathan. He was courteous, kind, helpful, and made our experience awesome! Unfortunately, the bearded owner or manager that was on site was rude and dismissive of my friend and myself while we were there. If it wasn’t for Jonathan, I probably would’ve gave this place two stars.

Nate at the counter was extremely helpful and resourceful. The gym was easy going with lots of places to climb for all different skill levels. Also, the outdoor workout space is great!

Great gym. You will get strong if you commit to climbing here a lot. The owner is a solid dude and cares a lot about his gym. Setting can be weird for tall people but just adopt the Megos approach.

I've been climbing on and off for about 5 years and I've never felt so welcomed at a climbing gym. The Grotto community is so supportive, and the staff is always so friendly and helpful. The setting is great and they have a good variety of problems for all skill levels. The yoga classes are also a great bonus! I highly recommend Grotto to anyone looking to get into climbing or just looking for a great community to be a part of.

Grotto climbing and yoga is a great place for climbing, yoga, and fitness. The facilities are clean and well maintained. The staff is always super friendly and knowledgeable. The climbing is definitely challenging and there are plenty of routes to try. The yoga classes are great and the instructors are very knowledgeable and helpful. Highly recommend Grotto to everyone!

Really nice gym with super fun boulders! Issues are in the safety aspects. Serious lack of down climb holds, especially on vert/slab terrain. Also some pretty unsafe setting with large volumes low on the wall and in fall zones. I stepped on multiple large screws on the mats as well.

Amazing gym! The price is definitely worth it. The atmosphere and people climbing there are so nice and friendly. They have spray wall here which is a must for every gym in my opinion. As well as adjustable board climbing and comp routes. Also the setting here is lovely! Kudos to the setters they're doing an astounding job!

My partner and I recently visited Grotto during our trip to San Diego. Pros: The staff at the front desk was awesome. They were very welcoming and generally peppy. The gym also really felt like it was working to cultivate that community that gyms thrive on. Very clean and diverse climbs. Cons: the day pass was very expensive for how small the gym was. It was almost $30. The workout area also wasn’t great. The treadmills kept stuttering when I tried to run and I felt like I was sort of in the middle of things. I’m really glad we checked it out, but we are going to keep exploring other gyms in the area.

This gym is the best gym in San Diego. The setting is 100% the best. Justin is really nice, and I like the music he plays. The other climbers are really friendly too. The vibe is right.

Bay Club Carmel Valley is an outstanding facility that truly has it all! From cycling classes and Pilates to a game room for the kids and a swimming pool, they offer activities for every age and interest. The variety of amenities ensures there’s something for everyone, whether you’re looking to work out, relax, or have fun with your family. The staff is incredibly kind, respectful, and always ready to help. The facility is well-maintained, with everything in excellent condition and very clean, which adds to the overall positive experience. I highly recommend Bay Club Carmel Valley for anyone looking for a top-tier fitness and recreation center. It’s worth every penny!

The 11am Sat dance class is the best! Bolly Dance! So fun and lively! The Wed 12pm dance class is also amazing with the lights off and disco ball. So fun! Wish it was possible to drop in to a class for around $30 instead of $50. Gym equipment is outdated but the vastness of the entire complex make up for it. Wish the basketball court schedule was online because sometime the pickle ball people play where the basketball court is for a large chunk of time so it's hard to get to play if you don't know the schedule. Wall yoga is really nice. Also wish the cafe sold espresso drinks. Would love to have an iced latte after my workout around noon but they only have coffee up until 11:00 a.m. but it is free so you have to work out really early if you want to enjoy the coffee but I wouldn't mind paying for a coffee if they had a espresso machine so I could go there workout and then have a coffee so I can go to work super energized. I think as well since it is like a community center it would be nice if they had community events like meet and greets or dinners or appetizers or just social hours so that way everyone could have a chance to meet each other because you start to recognize people because you go all the time but it would be nice to have an event to break the ice and make some workout friends to help keep you motivated and so you would have a gym buddy! Because my friends didn't want to pay the price to join so I didn't have a gym buddy so I cancelled my membership.

This gym has it all and it feels like a second home. You can workout, relax, and even meet new friends. In just one month, I have become more fit, happy, and relaxed. Thank you, Bay Club for keeping me young! My father passed away just before Thanksgiving, and the Bay Club has brought life back into my life!

We re-joined the club in Feb. We love it since it is great location for the area resident and ample parking spot. They have added great new classes like Ignite and Hit. They also have outdoor classes so inside classes do not get crowded. The reason for 4 star is with being a huge place with cafeteria there is a big need for recycling bin and unfortunately they have none. I did complain to one of the staff and he said he is completely all for it and he has mentioned to the management. Also equipment in the inside need to be cleaned once in a while.

Please do yourself a favor and choose a different club. The membership rate is ridiculous, the staff it rude, there is no parking and there is no available equipment like treadmills, bicycles and stair masters. You can get much more and better at different club. This club is not worth it for what they charge for membership

Standard MC gym. Overall pretty nice, but some cardio equipment is down. It can be busy at times. AC seems like it's working sometimes and not others, which can be a problem.

Too small, closes way too early. I don't see why a gym on an air station would close this early. Can't be that hard to set up a cac in and cac out system.

Easily the worst gym I’ve been to on a Marine Corps installation. The layout makes no sense, cleaning supplies for the equipment is lazily put out and hard to find, and with what equipment they do have a good portion isn’t used and takes up space.

Great place to workout if you're on base or in the area of SD and want to be surrounded by MOTIVATION!!! The busy times ar 5-8, 11-13, & ,16-1900.

The weight room is over crowded withe equipment. There is no room to do HIIT unless you want to pay for F45 classes.
