Excellent neighborhood gym! Has everything you need and nothing you don't. Ken is a gem and always brightens your day when you walk in, and he somehow remembers every single members name.
The classes are awesome! I'm always skeptical of classes but they were incredible! Barbara's Sculpt and Cardio Sculpt classes rival any larger brand name gym or HIIT style class, and their yoga and yoga sculpt classes are so good.
You cannot find a better value or friendlier atmosphere.

I bought a monthly guest pass for my stay in San Diego and can't say enough great things about this gym. In particular, Shari was always so kind and welcoming. It's priced fairly and has fun "neighborhood" vibes. Felt safe with gym's Covid precautions, too. Always got a great workout on the state-of-the-art spin bikes. Thank you Shari!

I enjoy going to this gym not only because of the equipment but because of the"family environment" kind of gym!. The owners and staff are super friendly and welcoming and always are willing to help out. It is a reasonable price gym to with all it has to offer. The classes and instructors are amazing, I love going to Barbara's spin class!

I was searching for a convenient place to workout in PB. I found it at Fitness West. I marvel at how youthful and fit the women are. The guys, too, probably. They're not sexist at Fitness West. It's owned by a highly professional woman and man, two Pacific Beach locals, Shari and Brian. They're very knowledgeable about the many classes they offer, such as various forms of yoga, Pilates, spin, etc. They're also experts regarding workout regimens and the most beneficial usage of the machines. The machines I use most often are the drinking fountain and the scale. I find them to

I did the month pass for $60, it was okay. There's only 1 squat rack so if you're going to predominately lift definitely go elsewhere. It's never super packed but not a good place for leg day. They have some yoga and other classes here, decent cardio space. Clientele is mostly retirees so pretty chill and peeps are nice here. So good vibe but if you lift would definitely go elsewhere bc the one and only squat rack is always a 30-45 minute wait

This gym is awesome!! the fact that it is cost effective and has basically anything you could ask for of a gym is amazing. They did raise their prices this year but it is still much cheaper than any other gym. I love love love love how small it is. It has a family owned vibe and that is very rare for a gym. They have tvs so you can watch things while you work out and the bathrooms are newer and very clean! everyone really respects each other there while working out and it never really gets too packed. It will get kind of popping during peak hours but that is any gym. The staff is super friendly

I've been a member since 2015. I always loved this gym specially because of the people and environment. I've been in almost every other gym in PB but Fitness West is the best!!
With the new management things got much better!!! They're replacing everything and if something is broken they take care immediately.
This is not the fancy and giant gym, it's small but has everything you need to achieve your results.
Thank you Fitness West for being my second house for so long!!!

This place is amazing! After spending roughly $150 per month at a competitor's gym, I found this local spot about 2 1/2 miles from my home in Bird Rock.
I love that they open at 5am & Layla the sweet gal who wakes up before the birds to greet us early risers is seriously such a gem.
I pay less than $40 each month and it is a STEAL! They have anything and everything you need to get your workout on & the energy here is perfect.
I feel so grateful to have found Fitness West!

No BS gym. Very little grunting. Owners are a rad local PB couple who are super friendly, accommodating and knowledgeable of how to attain any fitness goals I've had. I went from 191 pounds from mid September to 157 as of today, Dec 4th. If you want to REALLY be a PB local this is your gym...juuuust kidding! Come one come all!

I love the simplicity and neighborhood vibe of this place. It makes it easier for me to workout without feeling like I'm in a jackhammer jungle gym. I've been a member for a year now and it looks like it has new owners that are making great efforts to make it better looking and functioning. Easy parking and no egos/weirdos make it an easy choice for me.
Twice a week I train with Alan and he's done wonders to help me optimize my meat suit and stave away the dad bod! I would highly recommend him if you are anything like me and have kids/work/travel. He's experienced with diverse training methods

I love this place. I played college sports and have been in a lot of gyms during season and during off season, big and small. Fitness West is perfect. They have 3 separate rooms for each aspect of working out. They have their cardio room which is packed with tons of treadmills bikes ellipticals rowing machines and a few stair masters.
The room where the machines are for working out is good size. They have a large jungle gym in one room with a few other machines. Then their main room they have a full set of dumbbells, a good number of flat benches that incline and some small seated benches for

Great little locally owned gym. I was in town for a day and purchased a day pass for $10 cash.
Has everything you'd need to get your fitness on. Full stack of dumbbells to 110# / squat rack / free weights / kettles and every machine in between.
They also had two yoga studios, a complete cardio section (stair climbers / treadmills / cycles) and plenty of rolling apparatuses to also get stretched out.
Highly recommend for anyone serious about their workout.

I joined Fitness West about 4 months ago after I had purchased a Groupon valid for 2 months. My friend who was staying in town ask me to join it with her so that we could take classes together. I had been part of a Pilates studio, but it was getting a bit pricey for me, I decided to give Fitness West a try. I'm very happy my friend asked me to join her because although she moved away now, I am now a Fitness West member and I love it!
