I recently joined O after months of trying to find an all-around everything gym geared towards athletes without paying $200 + a month, and I love O! Eduardo is one of the owners and is extremely nice and accommodating. I love the variety of classes and the coaches and trainers are all very knowledgeable on body mechanics and proper form, and also push you to get better. I can't recommend them enough and you have to take hit box with Kristin.

Great gym, super clean, machines run smooth and perfect, nice boxing section, ONLY THING which to Me personally is a major issue, is the temperature. I'm getting down on the boxing bags putting in work, every minute rest between rounds, im drenched in sweat, you will get cold really quick, the ac is blasting in there, definitely below 70. It gets cold because the girl in the front desk is always wearing a sweater so harder to sweat thats my only complaint. Tried it out for the day but I think it's also pretty pricey

Member for over a year. Great location and facility has a great mix of free weights, machines, field space even batting cages etc. Locker rooms are outfitted with what you'd expect and cleanliness is adequate (not super posh like Equinox but that's okay). Sauna and steam room (except during COVID) is awesome. Wide variety of trainers that run classes so if you find one you don't like, chances are there's three you will like.
The gym itself is great what I mostly have an issue with is the... suspicious... membership practices. You'll never see O Athletik membership prices

As stated by many other reviewers, the gym is fine, but it's very tough to cancel your member. I moved away and had to cancel my membership but they wouldn't do it over the phone. I sent them an email asking to cancel, which they never responded to. I then got a charge 2 weeks later and they said that it was because I didn't cancel my membership in time. I get that they have a lot to do, but it seems like they make it purposefully tough to cancel your membership to get more money out of you.

This gym has changed my life in the past year that I have belonged here. I came in with previous workout related injuries and they accommodated to everything that would help me rehabilitate and introduced me to a whole new realm of workouts that were I wanted and needed. The staff of managers and trainers are so unbelievably knowledgeable and professional in their craft and are willing to listen and accommodate to everything you are in need of and offer such a variety of services in every way. Do not even second guess joining this gym. Ask questions, and you will get what you need in your journey

Mariana Del Pilar is a great trainer and helped me so much at this gym! She goes above and beyond to help. Every teacher is great and the classes helped me gain weight. I have been to many gyms but this one is my favorite. I like the staff, the social events, and the classes are great. You can find handball games, crossfit classes, sprint classes, weight training, and boxing. Join you won't regret it!

I am a huge gym snob and I've tried plenty of gyms around town but O Athletik is the crème de la crème of gyms. I straight up LOVE this gym and the people who work here.
The classes are spectacular and my favorite part about working out here is that the machines/weight training area is always free so you never have to wait to get your workout on.
Yes, this place does cost more than other gyms around town but if you're an athlete and/or you take your health and fitness seriously the facility and what they offer outweighs the cost of the membership.

Awesome gym. Joined over a year ago. Really welcoming trainers and young group of fit, attractive, professional people there. People complain about the price but you get SO MUCH here. Bellator fighters teach mma and judo. There's an infinity pool, a hill, a soccer field, and a yoga studio. Everything but spinning pretty much.
I take Kristin Kotinek's primal fit class, Nancy's Suspend class, Natalie's yoga, and work out with trainer Mike regularly. They are all awesome!

Good gym but impossible to cancel your membership. If you sign up, you are apparently signed up for life. I went in person and they told me to email. I emailed and they told me I forgot a form 6 months later. I had to block charges to get them to cancel. Good gym but when you decide to leave, good luck.
Update!! The manager Brian called and issued a full refund backdated to my original request to cancel membership

It's hard to cancel your account. I've called 5 different times and been hung up on and had my call ignored when I call to cancel my account. Then they want to email me saying to pay for my account when I tried canceling. Of course I'm not going to pay for a membership I don't want. Good gym otherwise.

I can't recommend this gym enough! Great variety of classes and gym equipment. Awesome price point for all that's included.
I always find myself looking forward to each class. Trainers change workouts often and always implement new fun ways of working out. Hands down for weightlifting classes I highly recommend Ronald Bookman and his Alpha strong class. For hiit type workouts and awesome cardio Kristin's primal fit, GRE, and gassed are awesome classes to keep in your weekly agenda!

O Athletik is a fantastic gym with great personal trainers and staff. There is one weed that ruins the flowers, we'll call her Fit Diva, or just "M". She's a personal trainer that is loved by some and loathed by others. I've reached my limit with her. When her client was running with a sled he let us know he was coming. We didn't see or hear him, so the 3 of us quickly moved aside. She said, "There's no need to tell them you're coming. They'll move when they see you or get run over. They know what this area is for". There's something

I've been a member for about 2 months now. I love this gym. I look forward to going and go at least 3-4 x wk. I've been a member of two gyms in my lifetime and with both I hardly would go. Of course, I'm older now so that makes a difference but I love the classes that are offered. Most of all I love the access to the Brazilian jiu-jitsu which I started. BJJ was my main reason for joining. You can take a BJJ class 6 days a week twice a day if you wanted! I read some of the negative reviews. From the time I started at this gym, everyone has been extra friendly. The gym stays immaculately

There are not enough words to describe this gym and what I have experienced since its opening in March. I was anxiously waiting for this gym to open and I could not be happier with the results! I discovered my love for "Mixed Martial Arts" in San Diego and could not find a place that had this as well as the ability for me to work out on my own and do yoga. This place has it all with an amazing staff and trainers. I can not wait every morning to wake up and leave the office every evening to take a class, each day it is different and each day I feel motivated to push harder!

Reading some of the negative reviews on this gym definitely makes me laugh, as this is literally the best gym I have ever been a member of that truly caters to the clientele. Admittedly, I was a little nervous going to my first day at this gym, but looking back, realize how silly that was. I've never felt more at home or comfortable in a gym where I don't feel judged. I was also impressed that all the trainers knew me by name after just one meeting.
A big reason for joining O was the convenience of the class schedules that are offered. O has a wide array of classes from beginner to expert

This gym is horrible! I would not recommend anyone sign up and go here. The customer service is terrible. The staff makes you feel unwelcome and they are bothered when you ask them questions about where to find classes at the gym. We have worked out at several other gyms and have never been treated as rudely as we were here. Then if you want to cancel your membership they will charge you $200. The sales people are so persistent in getting you to join but after you are a member they act as if they have never seen you before. Do not waste your time here! We were really excited about this gym and

I have been told by a good friend of mine who knows the owner to go in and check out the place. I followed up with a couple of Sales Managers, who are very persistent. This gym offers everything I absolutely love to do including CrossFit, kickboxing and yoga (among several others).
I am floored they don't offer childcare. That's a deal breaker for me. I was planning to cancel both my memberships to Crossfit and kickboxing to get it all in one place but I can't do that. It's unfortunate.
I highly recommend this gym invest in childcare services, especially since they chose

My experience at Athletik was so awful, I created a Yelp account in hope of saving you from an experience like mine.
I'm not the type to get upset and rant online because someone offended me, but if I can save someone from the horrible experience I had today, then this review was totally worth the time.
I've traveled all over the U.S. and trained at countless gyms as I prepare for my 10th year in the Ironman Triathlon Circuit. I currently carry 3 active memberships (Equinox, 24HR Fitness, & Lifetime Fitness) and train 5 days a week. Never, in all this time, have I ever been disrespected
