I love this gym. Great equipment, awesome option to go outside. I however cannot give a full 5 star rating because of the guy who works the night shifts there. His name is Gary, and is totally inconsiderate of everyone’s personal space at the gym. He starts putting equipment away and “reorganizing,” weights (as he’ll tell you) at 8:15pm. The gym closes at 9! If you have equipment in your space he will ask you if your still using that when you clearly are, and then stand near you waiting for you to be done with it so he can put it away or make sure that you do. It makes me feel like I have a parent waiting for me to clean up after my self. Anyone who goes there consistently would totally agree with what I’m saying as I have seen multiple negative interactions occur over this issue. He told me I was being “difficult” tonight at 8:25pm when he was standing in the middle of the weight closet organizing things away and I asked if so could get some equipment. Mind you, there was a gym full of people who most likely would be coming in there to get things so I have no idea why he begins cleaning up an hour before they close. I’m sorry, but no where in the hours online or at the gym does it say; “we begin cleaning up at 8;15 but close at 9.”

Wow! Im so happy to have found this gym today. Im moving away from San Diego in just under 60 days and the guys here gave me a great rate and worked up a special deal for me since Im leaving town so soon. This place is PERFECT!! From the lane out back where you can flip giant tires to the friendly, welcoming folks inside, I wouldnt change a thing. Niether would I have thought I could find a place with a small-town feel like this in these parts of San Diego. Slam dunk! 100 stars

Be very careful of canceling & Auto-renew. Was ask to come in and fill out a form in order to cancel. So I did come in and signed the San Carlos fitness cancellations forms. Unfortunately, I was still being charged, along with an annual fee. The owner said sorry, but I had to have my form in order to verify. We’re also filing through the BBB, as this business practice should not be tolerated.

Had a bad experience with the night manager. Won’t be back. Was getting tired of being barked at .... to not use free weights past 7 because he didn’t want to stay past the clock, used an antiquated check in process and yelled at me for it if I didn’t carry a keychain instead of just checking me in, and constantly making grumpy comments and annoying rants that don’t belong in a gym. Wish them well and hope they grow and change as people.

This fitness club is a hidden gem. There machines are top quality and smooth. Smaller club but they have all the equipment you need. This beats the larger 24 hour fitness chains that are typically crowded. They moved some of there equipment outside because of Covid 19 and the idiot governor Newsomes order but they have placed easy ups and covering to protect you against the sun. Its as clean as they can make it given the circumstances of being outside. I highly recommend!

Just sign up for a month to month member ship with my wife. It has all the features and perks of a big corporate gym with the charm of a small town family owned operation. I love my experience so far! Positive and encouraging staff as well!

It’s an outside gym on the patio right across from Keils. One of the only gym open and I think they did a great job at putting key machines outside. You are allowed to go inside and grab some thing as long as you put it bauhck. It is a nice facility and if I lived in this area I would stay. The staff are really friendly and seem to be from the East Coast or at least they have an East Coast accent. The set up is easy there’s no agreement $40 onto month work out. Since it is outside it’s hot and you sweat more so that’s actuallyPretty cool also. Looking for a gym during the Rona and all the other ones are shut downCome check this one out.

Best neighborhood gym. Every staff member is helpful, and the owners are the nicest people!! Please don’t go off of the few bad comments, this place has top of the line equipment and is always working on improvements in the facility because they truly care about the gym! Love this facility.

Love the location. Yes, it is small, both size and staff, but has good quality and variety of equipment, and staff are easy to talk to. It is never crowded, and other members are friendly. It is a great neighborhood gym!

The places has top of the line equipment and a lot of different items to use. The gym has everything you need. Its got great prices and its clean. Local owners, local staff. I see some past posts that are negative but I dont care about their experiences, mine have been great. Staff helped me sign up my entire family for a year membership that was a very fair price. They are a much better deal then 24 HR Fitness.

I read some stuff about the air conditioning during summer, its fine. The air is being cooled to an acceptable temperature. The machines are clean. Lot of gear usage but they dont leave stuff out. Havent had any issues.

Run away from this place! It is a rip off/scam.It has changed names a few times. Check out its prior names and reviews.UFCThe Village GymIf you still want to try this place, my advise is to only pay month to month and DO NOT sign anything. That will limit the amount of money they can rip off.For those that think being able to workout here without a huge crowd at what should be peak hours...think again. Thats just a sign that you may show up one day for a workout and find them closed for business...or changing their name so they can pocket your money.I recently saw a response from my comments on Yelp which just added insult to injury. I maintain if you deal with these people keep a close hold on your wallet. They will rip you off.

Should of listened to the review that this place is a scam. Cancelling is so Inconvenient, and the place is crawling with bugs. The equipment and everything is covered with dust and half the time in the morning the staff would just unlock the door (late) and leave. I wanted to support a local gym but it’s too bad.
