Fitness & Gyms near Lakeside, CA

“Best gym I’ve been to!! Staff is warm and welcoming and the equipment is really well kept. I like that there are separate sections for hips and abs for more privacy, and the women’s locker room feels relaxing and cozy (never thought I would say that about a gym locker room lol). The spa and massage options for us black card members are also very nice. The value offered is way beyond what you pay for the monthly fee, even if you only make it once a week to workout. Highly recommend! ?”

“I recently joined P360 La mesa and have really enjoyed attending classes on a regular basis. The coaches are personable and friendly I feel like they do care about their clients. I enjoy the structure of the class and that coaches will demonstrate alternative exercises. The gym itself is clean and everyone does their part to keep it that way. I didn't know if I would like the whole group workout or partner but I've grown to like it. One of the perks is their water dispenser always so clean and cold at the end of a workout. Another cool feature is the performance 360 application where I can track my weight count per exercise and reps and for being only 1 month I am seeing some progress and also better energy levels. So to me it has been worth the investment I will continue to attend Try a free class and take advantage of first month deal and seek those gains!!”

“Cannot express my gratitude for the trainers and this gym enough! I hadn’t done a gym scene since college or really at all in my adult life before coming to burn. I started in January and was hooked after my first camp (athletic conditioning ). The individualized support from trainers and warm welcome from other members really sealed the deal for me. The combination of strength and conditioning is the perfect balance and the workouts are never the same. My kids can be a handful, but Shasta and the child watch team are so patient and kind. Burn Poway has been a great support for my entire family!”

“Result-based training focusing on proper form and building strength. A community that supports and encourages to help you reach your goals. Plenty of classes available and access to the gym and staff to accommodate a busy schedule.”

“Best gym ever! Classes like personal training. It’s more like a family than a gym. They work with injuries also and make sure you are using equipment properly to avoid injuries. I had a wonderful experience with this gym. Last year they even had a Friendsgiving which was alot of fun. If you want to transform your body and be in great health I highly recommend this gym!!!”

“I really enjoy coming here a few times a week, not only to work out, but to have fun while doing so! Brandon, Piper, Alli and the rest of the coaches are all amazing and have been very helpful in this journey.”

“I started at this gym January 2nd 2024 and I’ve been invited to 5 parties, lost 30 lbs, competed 3 times, and continue to meet new incredible people and try new classes! The class floor plan changes each week and follows a similar pattern throughout each day and usually alternates upper body and lower body focus days. At least that is what I’ve noticed. You have the opportunity to do heavier work sometimes and then there is also 4 CrossFit style classes a week if you enjoy Olympic lifting and CrossFit movements. All the trainers are super great that I’ve had so far and are knowledgeable about the movements and mobility! Highly recommend especially for endurance based training and cross training. It’s really helped me lose the weight! They have a few challenges a year and the prices are good and it’s fun to get points! Come to the 430pm class and say hi!”

“Joining Anytime Fitness was a transformative decision that had a profound impact on my life. It was during the 4th of July holiday last year that I took the plunge. I had always struggled with weight loss and had tried various methods without much success. But this time, things were different.From the moment I met the general manager, Shawn, I felt a spark of motivation that I had never experienced before. He had a contagious enthusiasm that rubbed off on me, inspiring me to set ambitious goals for myself. I was determined to make a change and shed the extra pounds that had been weighing me down for so long.However, the journey was not without its challenges. There were moments when I felt discouraged and wanted to give up. But Shawn had a way of keeping me focused and reminding me of my potential. He believed in me even when I doubted myself, and his unwavering support was instrumental in my success.Despite setbacks and temptations, I persevered. Shawn's constant encouragement and the supportive environment at Anytime Fitness provided me with the motivation I needed to stay on track. I started incorporating regular workouts into my routine, making healthier food choices, and adopting a more positive mindset.Through hard work, dedication, and the guidance of Shawn and the Anytime Fitness team, I achieved what I once thought was impossible. I lost over 50 pounds, a milestone that seemed unattainable when I first started. The transformation was not just physical but also mental and emotional. I gained confidence, improved my overall well-being, and developed a healthier relationship with food and exercise.Joining Anytime Fitness was more than just a gym membership; it was an investment in my health, happiness, and future. I am eternally grateful to Shawn for his unwavering belief in me and for helping me reach my goals. My journey at Anytime Fitness has been life-changing, and I am excited to continue on this path of health and wellness.”

“I have been attending the small group workouts at 5am and 6am for the last 3 months and absolutely love it! It’s now part of my routine. The trainers are so knowledgeable and very fun to start your day with! Thanks Lexi and Whitney for being amazing!”

“I was recommended this gym by a work colleague & I'm so glad I signed up!I am a true beginner to CrossFit & I was so nervous to start but everyone there from the coaches to the gym members has been so nice, helpful & motivating. I'm excited to go to class & workout!”

The instructors go above and beyond, fostering a sense of belonging and truly investing in the success of their students.

“One of the most clean, friendly and massive F45 studios I have visited. I was in town on business and dropped in for a few classes. Coaches were helpful and listened to what adjustments I needed to make. Thank you for having me F45 Santee!”

“I’m a new member of F45 La Mesa and I’m absolutely loving it! Coach Casey was super informative and helpful getting me started. The coaches are INCREDIBLE and the culture of the studio is encouraging and hard working. I love that all fitness levels can participate and everyone is equally encouraging. I’ve been in and out of gym life more many years and this is by far the best experience ever! I highly recommend to all! Any age and fitness level.”

“I cannot rave enough about East County Crossfit! I started coming here when I moved to San Diego in 2023. Although there are many great coaches at East County, I have spent the most time with Coach Paul and Coach Erica. Both are fabulous coaches that are focused on preventing injury and helping you become strong and more athletic.I used to think that Crossfit was too intense for me or that I would bulk up. Spoiler alert, it is actually somewhat difficult to build muscle and found that instead of becoming bulky, I have become more lean and fit. And so much stronger! East County offers 3 different options at each workout, level 1, level 2 and an alternate option (like weight vest Wednesday), plus a fun partner workout on Fridays. Any one of any fitness level is able to join with the help of these fabulous coaches.My favorite part about East County is that it gave me a community when moving to a new city. I actually look forward to my 5:15am workout class! Okay, I also really appreciate the focus on longevity and preparing our bodies to be healthy as we age. I highly recommend this gym!”

“I've been coming to BU since 2018 and there is no other place like it. Francine does an amazing job creating an inclusive environment for women to come and weight lift in small groups. She both challenges you and makes modifications when needed. Classes are well paced and perfect for work schedules whether you need an early morning or evening class. I've learned so much about weight lifting, form, and nutrition from Francine over the years while hitting PRs throughout. A fun bonus is the community outings we do throughout the year. There is no other community like this! Check it out, it is 110% worth your while.”

“Obsessed is an understatement. This is the most amazing workout you will ever experience. Mary is such an inspiration. She drives you and pushes you in every way possible. From the environment to how welcome I felt makes me come back three times a week. She’s not just my gym instructor: she’s influenced my life and made me feel comfortable within my own skin. She knows all of her girls’ strengths and weaknesses and works with each and every one of us to ensure we are meeting our fitness goals. She has transformed my body and made me love the skin I’m in. I love to come to the gym just to see her and workout. The gym is always clean: top of the line equipment and the best is nothing is the same. You will always have something new to do: from the workout routine to the floor exercises. Aside from the gym she has the most comfortable clothing line :MK athleisure. Who doesn’t want to feel and look good while working out. She cares about each and every one of us and most importantly ensuring our form is correct while maneuvering through each workout.Thank you Mary for not only being my trainer but caring and motivating me to be a better version of myself. She was the best decision I ever made.”

“I have been happily attending this wonderful place for eight years. I call it, "My happy hour." When I found out about El Cajon, Jazzercise I just wanted to give myself the opportunity to find another way to stay active since going to the gym just isn't for me. From the first class I realized that not only is exercising but Jazzercise is dancing, having fun and meeting people with the same needs that I had. Exercise in a fun and enjoyable way. The time goes by very quickly, I do what the Dr and anyone who knows a little about health would recommend. Exercise regularly.

“I came to Gonzalo with a BIG deadlift goal in mind. I had been lifting for a few years on my own, so a part of me questioned whether I “needed” a coach. I did it anyway and am grateful because I’m leaving 2023 a better, more skilled and confident powerlifter. Gonzalo is BIG on injury prevention; seeing evidence of that week over week encouraged me to push my limits more than I would have. Our sessions were insightful and my form is significantly improved. Gonzalo is a fabulous coach and the BEST investment I’ve made in myself this year. I am better because of him and RTS Fitness.”

They pay special attention to each individual, ensuring that you get the most out of your sessions while staying safe.

Over the years, I've seen remarkable progress in my strength and overall fitness, thanks to their guidance and support.The gym itself is well-equipped, clean, and well-maintained. It's a welcoming environment that encourages you to push your limits while feeling comfortable and motivated.If you're looking for a gym where the trainers truly care about your progress, emphasize proper form, and prioritize injury prevention, this place is a hidden gem.”

“The camp transformation in El Cajon is phenomenal! The staff are great and make you feel like family! The trainers motivate you to push yourself and accomplish your goals. A great place for your weight loss journey. Come try it out !”

“Accessible, clean, friendly staff and members, great layout and equipment. I've never been comfortable in a gym environment and this place has become my second home. Thank you San Carlos Fitness for your presence in the community!”

“Not only is this the best place to train martial arts, but there is a perpetual kind and uplifting environment fostered by instructors and students. I have been training here since I was 9 and feel treated like family by the instructors. Senior Master Storniolo is an amazing person and instructor and I cannot recommend this studio enough.”

“CF Kivnon was an incredible host for my bachelorette weekend workout! They gave us our own private class time for the cost of a drop-in, programmed the workout in collaboration with my maid of honor, and even set out a table for us to have a mini champagne toast after the WOD. Kelly and Jess were so helpful and friendly, and the open-air facility is perfect for working out on a beautiful California day. One of my friends needed to work on her OLY program during our class and they were accommodating to that adjustment as well. THANK YOU CF Kivnon and I hope to visit again the next time I'm in SD!”

“This fitness gym is great for those looking for that personal touch in training and classes. I absolutely love this gym, it is full of friendly people, motivating and knowledgeable trainer’s who take the time to give individual attention. I have been at this gym for 2 1/2 years and the fitness discipline I now poses has made a happier, healthier version of myself.”

“Larry is the best coach. Extremely knowledgeable about health and body mechanics. Plus, it is a family atmosphere where you can bring your children. As a matter of fact, the gym also has kids' classes.”

“The space, equipment, programming, and coaching is everything you could ask for. I have trained in one of those popular franchise gyms, our home gym, and a LEO work facility for years with varying degrees of injury and plateauing performance. I have been coming here for a little less than a year for 4-5 days/week and I love it.The programming here is smart and sustainable. I come from the old school white board random WOD days of 2014 CrossFit in a cop gym -- not a really smart long term strategy. For those of you new to the game and intimidated by the idea of CrossFit, know that this sport is truly inclusive of any ability, disability, age, and stage in life -- they can and will work with you! I have "started over" so many times in the past whether it be injury, shifting athletic goals, or pregnancy/post partum and this past year at this gym has been the most encouraging for seeing progress in technique and performance.The camaraderie makes it a community. Being parents themselves, the owners/coaches are also very understanding and accommodating to having my kids here, which makes it that much more realistic for my husband and I to keep pushing through our fitness and wellness goals.”

“Get ready to feel accomplished after your first workout. My husband and I signed up for personal training and we’ve made through our first four lessons, so far so good! We’re already feeling progress.Coaches Kim and Jeff are amazing and practice what they preach. (They’re fit) ??I recommend their style of personal training because it’s not boring and we look forward to each “obstacle course” they set up for us.For starting out, I knew I needed personal training because I didn’t have the discipline to follow an outlined set of workouts on my own.Having the coaches there, I’m able to focus , keep a proper form, and follow their instructions- that get’s my wheels turning and I don’t slack off. I know I am getting a great FULL workout.Great place and great people. Thanks!”

“I love this place! Great gym and equipment! Great workouts and coaching! Great people and atmosphere! My husband and I drop in, whenever we are in town. Andy is awesome!!! He is always welcoming and helpful. The members are great too...friendly and encouraging. I've never felt unwelcome. We workout at gym in Ventura and KMF feels like a home away from home.”
