Fitness & Gyms in Costa Mesa, CA

“The best cycling class I've been so far in OC/LA, and the shred class is so fun! I love the instructors, music taste, and energy! I love bringing all my friends here because I know they'll love it as much as I do!”

“I hosted a Dad Meet Up event over the weekend. We originally were supposed to meet at a park but the forecast called for rain. The owner Jacob offered up his gym for us last minute hosting 60 dads and their kids. The space was large, clean, and safe for the kids. The gym is amazing and I appreciate them letting us host our event there”

“My experience at AIM Fitness has been amazing!! Marla is not only incredibly knowledgeable, she is very sensitive, compassionate and a great listener. I definitely am happy with my results! I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend AIM Fitness!”

“I've tried gyms before but never felt confident or comfortable. I knew I needed a coach or trainer to succeed, so on my search for a gym with a more personal touch, I found Elev8. After touring with Cierra and speaking with the owner, Kat, I felt reassured. Kat understood my goals and concerns, ensuring the gym wouldn't push me too hard too quickly and would support my desire for a gradual lifestyle change. I had a free training session with Julie, who evaluated my strength, mobility, and balance. Feeling ready, I committed to twice-weekly sessions with her, which I've maintained for four months now.My Trainer:Julie is empathetic, knowledgeable, and patient. She adjusts workouts based on my health, which fluctuates. This understanding approach eased my fears of appearing uncommitted due to inconsistent energy levels. During a sinus infection, Julie adjusted the training to avoid overexertion, providing relief and a great workout. Her attention to form has significantly improved my strength, balance, stamina, and mobility. Julie pushes me to reach my potential while being mindful and kind. You're the best Julie! Thank you!Atmosphere:The gym is welcoming, with friendly greetings from all employees. Community Connect nights with snacks and games offer a chance to meet others. Monthly check-ins with Darlene and Cierra feel like catching up with friends. Heran's cupping sessions have relieved muscle pain, and his friendly greetings make the gym feel like a second home. This supportive environment makes me feel like I truly belong. If you're looking for not only a supportive gym, but community as well, I would highly recommend Elev8!”

“love this gym! everyone is there to improve themselves, super helpful and ton of knowledgeable people working out all the time, everyone that works there is nice, and the facility is 10/10 top notch equipment and cleanliness, they really care and its such a great gym!!!”

“Outstanding coaching in the perfect gym. I’m 50 years old and had been training on my own for years prior and had long since stopped making gains. In the two years I’ve been lifting with TSC, all my lists have improved considerably.”

“My husband and I started working out at Shamba Way in June of 2022. We just moved in the area at that time. Coach Jake, the owner answered our call instantly and we started our free workout session with Coach Thomas the following day. We were impressed by the prompt response and getting us in right away! Since then, we’ve been coming consistently to the 5 AM class with Coach Yaremy and Coach Nick. All of the coaches are great, knowledgeable and inspiring! We love the support we get during the workout and in reaching our fitness goals. The best part of it is the community! Everyone influence each other to be better not just in our health and fitness journey but also in other areas of life! In addition, we like the fact that we can go to both Shamba Way or Shamba Vibe depending on our schedule or even just to do a “fun” weekend workout at Shamba Vibe. We are so grateful to be apart of this gym!”

“My friend and I took a pole tricks and inverts class for all levels with Nina, and we really appreciate how kind and sweet Nina is. We were so impressed by how clear and concise her instructions and demonstrations are and by how attentive she is to her students. She took the time to go to each student to see how we were all doing. I really like how she explains the details of the steps, like which part of our bodies are going to be on the pole, where our leg should be, and etc. There is plenty of parking at the studio, and it is very clean as well!”

“I would like to share my experience for the services The Camp Transformation Center provides. This is a gym where you can leave your problems and stress behind and enter a world of laughter and enjoyment while doing your workout. This gym provides HIIT classes, each day of the week focusing on either upper body, lower body or full body. They also provide elite weight training with a smaller number of people. The place is always clean, neat and provide the necessary equipment to perform your exercises. The staff will always welcome you with a smile and positive vibes. I specifically would like to give a shout out to Luis, a trainer that came on board not long ago and has shown such commitment to provide the best motivation and extra push to his clients. The type of exercises included in his HIIT classes have been very unique with each being able to modify to low impact. I recommend you join! I personally have met my gains in just months!”

“1yr 50+ lbs weight loss Transformative change in my life thanks to SRF ready fitness team. What started as a search to rehab a separated shoulder from surfing accident, turned into a comprehensive plan for achieving my health goals. When I met Paul I was stalled in my surfing journey despite surfing almost daily. At 53 old and new injuries and fatigue made surfing difficult. I struggled to get into better surfing shape. After an initial assessment Paul created a customized plan for my current state and future goals. Most importantly morning after morning 6am Paul was there for me. Great attitude and consistent encouragement. I can say he saw more in me than I was able to see in myself. He is patient, persistent, never condescending, and partners with you. My goal is to surf better as long as possible. Paul was careful to help me stay focused on that as a goal. His surf / balance / core strength workouts are unique and effective. His knowledge comes from 10+ years of experience training the highest level surfers. So he knows what to do. I don’t have to research tons of other people’s exercises, research nutrition, cobble my own regiment, and manually rotate that. Paul does all that for you, apnea, core, balance, pop ups.. while great for surfing, it is the best total body fitness program you can put yourself on whether you surf or not. They give an evaluation and initial trial run.. if you live near Costa Mesa it’s a no brainer to try it out. If you live further out he has virtual classes. Not many surf specific gyms in the world, and even fewer with a proven professional pedigree and surfers to back it up. Check SRF out… might change your life also.”

“The 12 is a great place to workout. You’re able to push yourself to your limits. The trainers, shoutout Diggy, are awesome and great to work with and be around in general. Atmosphere is welcoming and motivating. Easy to be consistent at The 12.”

“Best gym in SoCal. Has the best aesthetics and also very properly maintained. Not only the best equipment but lighting and gym was always clean. Never had to "wait for someone to get off a machine, gym was never overly packed, which is also a huge plus. The owner BJ is professional and awesome at making new customers feel welcomed.”

“This place has an abundance of equipment. There are plenty of squat racks (6 to be exact), 5 benches to bench on, plenty of weights to choose from, various equipment for both lower body and upper body, and this place is very clean. Another topic that should be discussed is the limited times there are for this fitness center. I should advise all that the fitness center will only allow students who signed up for the specific classes that offer the gym. Let me repeat, this is a class, not a public gym. Times are setup, how a class should be. The coaches are there to help you if you need any assistance on how to work a specific body part. Overall: 9/10”

“I've been training with Scott and Sherri just shy of a decade now. My experience here has been nothing short of life changing. I'm lifting weights I never would have imagined, attained a muscular build that I never thought possible, all while staying safe and avoiding injury. This gym has decades of experience training a wide range of people, from complete newbies to professional athletes. They have a great atmosphere, friendly staff, and effective programming. You won't regret coming here.”

“I absolutely love Burn Boot camp! The trainers really motivate and help you. The push you in the best way possible. The protocols are different every week so you’re not always doing the same thing. Everyone is friendly, kind, helpful, and encouraging. Now let’s end with two claps ????”

“Awesome Gym. Very big, very clean, very professional. I did the explode class with Coach Tori, she was awesome and the whole staff made me feel welcome and even gave me a congratulations first time gift card on my way out. Definitely a five star experience and a great workout.”

“This is such an incredible studio! I have done quite a bit of a barre at other studios and this is easily one of my favorites, if not absolute favorite. I love that they have wooden floors, unlike pure barre which has carpeting. The whole place has a very fun vibe. Always a great work out and the instructors are super friendly and helpful.”

“Steph Castro is the gift that keeps on giving! Sunday Service (10:45 CM) is like no other class I've ever been to, and Steph keeps the good vibes flowing! She's inspirational, funny, kind, and motivates her team to create the best versions of themselves! Some people go to church on Sundays, and I go to Steph 10:45!”

“Indoor weight room, outdoor weights, indoor machines, cardio, a 6 lane lap pool, child care, and plenty of parking, all at an amazing affordable cost. What more do you need!!!”

“Great gym with incredible coaches & community! Perfect for any fitness level because they have multiple class type options & can scale any workout to your ability level. Highly Recommend!”

“Coach Max is one of a kind. I've never met a trainer with such genuine care, attention to detail, and depth of knowledge across, weight training, diet, flexibility, recovery, mental toughness...every facet you could want in a coach. I cannot recommend him and his team highly enough. 10 stars.”

“UFC Costa Mesa is hands down the best gym I’ve ever belonged to. The classes, both workout and martial arts, offer an incredible value that’s hard to find anywhere else. The coaches are amazing, and while some come and go (as is common in the industry), the overall vibe of the gym remains steady and positive. They have plans that allow you to access alk the UFC gyms nationwide.

Everyone here is super supportive of your goals, and I’ve made so many friends since joining. The community aspect of this gym is something special. Plus, it’s owned by UFC greats Cub Swanson and Michael Bisping, which makes it even cooler. Cub often trains here with his entire team, so you can really feel the presence and energy in the gym.

I honestly couldn’t recommend this place more for anyone looking to take their fitness or martial arts journey to the next level!”
