Comment: No space for doing any workout, as there are so many groups of people working out together. The ventilation is non-existent, as I was dripping sweating 10 minutes into my workout. I understand “rush hour” and it’s a prime time for others to be working out, yet this was not a great first impression. Most of the weights had fresh sweat dropped all over the handles and people putting their water bottles and big gym bags to “claim” their equipment... I won’t be back unfortunately.

Comment: Terrible experience at this gym. Went with a friend that lives in town and from the moment I walked in the door I felt uncomfortable. I was told I wasn’t reracking (yelled) my weights correctly after literally just walking up to the equipment. Would never recommend coming here. They body shame you. Literally go to any other gym!

Comment: Staff are nice and welcome, however, this gym is like dated…pretty much like the ones you would expect 30 years ago…equipments are old and some are non functional. I guess it comes to personal preference for such ‘classic vibes’.

Comment: This post has nothing to do with the actual facility. This is to ensure proper phone etiquete is taught to all employees. The person who picked up my call was Brad. Very disrespectful demeanor and phone etiquette wouldn’t let relay a message properly kept trying to talk over me. This call was business related and as such it should be handled with more respect torwards the person calling the facility for what ever the reason.

Comment: The absolute best gym in all of San Diego. The price is right there’s no hidden fees or hidden anything. The only downside is the parking but even then you can find parking just down the street or a few blocks away. Even with this the equipment and amazing staff make up for it. If you aren’t lifting here you’re doing something wrong.

Comment: First off I’d like to point out the fact that your 1.3 star average doesn’t add up and it very obvious that you delete most of your one star reviews that are recent. I had to go back to a year to two years to see some one star reviews. I have seen screenshots of recent one star reviews regarding Cole and they aren’t there. Way to go for protecting an absolute DUMPSTER FIRE of a person. There are a lot of adjectives to describe him but here are some. Rude, condescending, patronizing, crass, disrespectful, pathetic, antagonizing, misogynist, short fused, angry, oh and awful! Just to name a few. The guy isn’t right and need to go to therapy and anger management. The people you keep around even after knowing the issues people have with him says more about the business than about the disgruntled employee. Who is in a forward facing customer service position that he doesn’t deserve. Do better if you want better reviews. I also will screen shot this review just in case you try to remove it. It will get added right back. Have a great day mmmkkkk

Comment: Visited San Diego a month ago and finding a gym that met all my needs was hard. Nevertheless, TG San Diego met all my needs. The people who go there are all nice, the employees are all welcoming and the environment is everything. I found it best to go in the morning to avoid the craziness of traffic and whatnot but I know that I can go back whenever I’m back in San Diego.Pros: outdoor area, many machines for everything, lots of weights, huge space.Cons: limited parking (which is normal in San Diego)Thank you!

This facility is gigantic with 3 levels.... Including an open air outdoor gym... there is a variety of different equipment for ALL body parts that YOU WILL NOT FIND in any other gym... Here are some examples two different Pullover machines . at least 10 different types of Leg curl machines, So many different hack squats,Leg extensions, vertical leg press Hack squats. For Chest Hammer, different angles on Several different Chest machines. Many different biceps and triceps machines, specialty shoulder machines.....Plus Tons of back equipment, And of course you have the good old fashioned Barbells and dumbbells which are also very effective.... The rates are extremely reasonable.... And have not changed for over 20 years..... Only $300 for 1 year membership. Or you can do 3 months for a $100. Also, monthly and 6 months and daily rates are available. Open until midnight, weekdays. Weekends until 6 PM but keep in mind. They open at 4 AM.... Top champions In bodybuilding. Physique, womens fitness, bikini and wellness all train here. Great atmosphere friendly owners and staff and all around great vibes... I will add pictures later... 5 stars highly recommended.

Comment: My partner and I have been coming to this gym for over two and a half years. The guys that work here are the nicest set you could ask for. The people that work out here are honest, kind and unbelievably helpful. This is a real gym, men and women come here to get work done and reach their potential. This is not a spa where you go to relax and hang out and expect it to have fancy body wash and warm towels.

Comment: If you want to witness a brawl, be surrounded by farting enhanced athletes, see a sea of equipment but wait in line for the same 2 pieces, smell food being microwaved, this is your gym. It’s stuffed to the gills with equipment but it’s quantity over quality. Rock bottom membership price but it’s not worth getting accidentally injured by jumbo dudes pummeling each other. The staff are really awesome, though.

Comment: I recently joined The Gym in San Diego and had the most horrific experience of my life. I was working out, minding my own business, when one of the employees named Cole suddenly attacked me. He punched me in the face and choked me while I was still trying to catch my breath. I couldnt believe what was happening to me.Cole was extremely rude and disrespectful throughout the entire incident. He acted as if I had done something wrong, even though I had never met him before. I was simply trying to exercise and improve my health, but instead, I was left bruised and traumatized.The Gym should be ashamed of employing someone like Cole. I can only hope that they take action against him so that no one else has to suffer at his hands. As for my experience at The Gym, I will never be returning. I would not recommend this gym to anyone who values their safety and wellbeing.

Comment: Great gym but beware the parking SUCKS. I’ve had my car hit and ran twice and they don’t have cameras. It’s not that it’s small (I always find a spot) but the way the lines are painted makes ZERO sense. Makes it a nightmare to pull in and out of spaces.

Comment: Yes, it’s a body building gym, but not everyone is a body builder. It’s not as intimidating as people make it. I’ve been to golds gym and it’s nothing like that.I like the different sections of the gym since it’s not all one crammed room. I love that the owners are usually there to greet everyone and are usually friendly. A couple of the treadmills need a little work- almost died on a couple when sprinting since they went out all of the sudden… no sauna either. Otherwise, a solid gym that’s affordable. They don’t keep your credit card on file- you just pre pay for however long. Parking sucks, but is what it is.

Comment: Best Gym ever. I worked out here 15+ years ago when it was a World Gym. Came back in 2023 and it was even better than I remembered . Iron plates, hardcore clientele, rocken music . It was a really, really motivational experience to come back to. The staff was super friendly. Love how the gym is arranged by muscle group. Love how the equipment is the real deal. Love the variety of equipment per muscle group. The locals are so lucky to have a gym like this to call their own.

Comment: During my week visit the entire front end staff was amazing. I was given a run-down of the entire place and noted that the gym had entire areas for specific body parts. You can find everything you need to kill a workout within close proximity depending on what your plan is for the day. The cardio room is upstairs and plenty of bikes, stair climbers, treadmills, and other equipment to use. The atmosphere had a unique old school feel. I was excited to see other men and women workout with passion and intensity especially in the weight room. The energy in the gym was positive. The personal trainers look like they practice what they preach. Real cast iron weights. Great place to put some work in. Best gym I have been to in a long time. I agree with other posts about the lack of parking, but it isnt enough to take away a star. I highly recommend this establishment.

Comment: I have been training with Fabian for upward of six or seven months now, and I am definitely reaping the results of my work. I feel significantly stronger and toned. I thoroughly enjoy the workouts, and I feel that they have effectively made me look and feel better than I did prior to enrolling in training with him. However, this review is not for me. Or for Fabian. Sorry Fabian. This review is for the blonde-haired, blue-eyed boy who works in the nutrition/supps shop. Tell me why I didnt get his name, socials, --ANYTHING?! -- when I was legitimately CHARMED, immediately SPELLBOUND by this man? I very seldom throw sarcastic jokes at people Ive barely met, but Im telling you it feels like I already knew him. He threw jokes right back at me. I retorted. We laughed. He told more jokes. We cackled. I was going to be late to my session. I didnt care. I was completely ENTHRALLED by him, and by the time we were done talking, I actually was late to my session. I have been relentlessly purchasing protein bars and supplements from the shop that I have no business or need to be buying in hopes that I see him again. WHO IS HE? Was it a fever dream? Where is this man? Perhaps I am caught in a marketing scheme? I am draining my bank account in the process of trying to find him. If youre out there, I hope you find ME, because I prefer that the line between stalkerish behavior and actual stalking are not blurred due to your elusivity. Could a coffee possibly date motivate you to show face?

Hardcore equipment all around and the melodious sounds of 45s clanging against each other against the backdrop of heavy metal music. Great atmosphere of highly motivated meatheads and some of the most beautiful women in the world all working towards a common goal of being the gnarliest version of themselves. I love it here.

Comment: Pros: I’ve been to a lot of gyms and this is by far the best in terms of size and equipment. It has a very motivational environment as it is filled with body builders and influencers.Cons: Parking is horrible. The area is trashy and surrounded by homeless. If you’re an attractive girl, expect to be approached by a “personal trainer” during your workout. The staff are cool, but the older gentleman (probably the manager) is very grumpy and unhelpful. Had to ask him a question once, won’t do it again. If your work pays for your gym and requires a printed attendance, they can’t do it, but I don’t see this being a common issue.

Comment: Amazing gym, great staff, has all the equipment you need and more. Outdoor space for working out outside. Never had to wait for a machine or rack. Parking is tight, so get ready to circle the lot a couple of times for a spot. Overall, quality place for a bodybuilder.

Comment: The Gym is by far one of the best places I have trained at in over 25 years of lifting. The variety of equipment allow me to continue weight training even with joint injuries that otherwise would have put an end to my workout regiment. This is a no nonsense gym, the majority of individuals here are very serious with trainers, but this gym also provides the professional atmosphere for those who simply want to burn off some extra pounds or maintain what they already have. The staff too are very professional and always greet each patron as they enter the doors. You also will not beat the price here in San Diego. The one and only one negative is parking. The gym is busy at all times and if you go during the busiest hours you have to plan to wait 15-20 minutes sometimes to get a parking space. Just know that in advance and I highly recommend The Gym for anyone looking to stay fit or achieve goals they set out.

Comment: Was in the Mission Beach area on 10/27-11/4 from Buffalo, NY and got a weeks pass with my brother to The Gym. What a fantastic place. Tons of new and old machines, lots of weights, the atmosphere is just phenomenal and the guys at the front desk were incredible including Rick the owner as well as another gentleman who always had a baseball hat on and couldnt be any nicer and hospitable. Very welcoming and like I said, the atmosphere is fantastic. Best gym Ive ever been to and Ive been fortunate to go to many different gyms across the country. If this place doesnt get you motivated to get in or stay in shape, nothing will. Hope to be back again but would encourage anyone traveling to the area to stop by and see Rick and the boys...

I wish I was able to go here but the uniqueness of the building itself is worth 5 stars. I think what makes this place stand out the most though is the name, “The Gym”. IT IS A SUPER CLEVER NAME!!!! Maybe someday I can go here…

Comment: Amazing selection of equipment, I especially appreciate that there are multiple benches/leg presses/leg curl machines. They also have very specific machines you cant find at your regular gym. Yes, it is a hardcore environment, but I tend to like that sort of place. Staff is friendly and personable. Lived in SD for 7 years and wish I started coming here sooner! If I had one complaint, itd be the locker room. Luckily, I live close by and prefer to shower/change at home so its a non-issue. Price is probably the best bang for buck youll get in SD

Comment: Best gym ever! When I went to their website it said If you are serious about fitness and want to simply train hard. The Gym is your home!... We have the most basic and sophisticated bodybuilding equipment out there! I was a little sceptical about this because most gym just promise but in reality they never pull through. The Gym is not most gyms. This is a place were people come and share their knowledge and are passionate about working out. The Gym is home and most people in there are friendly and are willing to help out. Ever since joining The Gym I have considered it more like a family because we motivate each other and help each other out. And it is true they have the best bodybuilding equipment. At The Gym you will find old school training equipment, that you wont ever find in other gyms, as well as new modern equipment.

Comment: Just had the worst experience at this place. Got yelled at for working out inside and didn’t know the areas were closed off as I saw many people working out inside. I went for the first time a few days ago and the rules were different. I had no idea I was not allowed to do this since it was ok the first time I went, no one said anything to me and one of the guys working there approached me and basically ridiculed me for being in the area. Unfortunately I paid $100 for 3 months and after 2 days I will not be going back.

Comment: The Gym San Diego is the best gym in America. Rick and his staff are complete professionals. They greet everyone daily with a smile.The Gym has all of the best equipment and they’re always adding more. It’s a mixture of the newest equipment available on the market and the tried and true old school stuff.Although the parking lot is large especially for San Diego, the only downside that I can think of is that parking is treacherous at times.There is no better gym in the land and San Diego is the best place to live on earth.

Comment: I love this gym, but today I had a very negative experience. I got a 3 month membership 3 months ago and was told my membership was up even though I havent been for the last 2 months because of COVID. They said on their instagram page that theyd be freezing all memberships during COVID, which I really respected them for. I explained that I had only used one month of my membership and was honestly kind of shocked that they would try to get me to pay again and take advantage of me. When I told them that their Instagram said they would freeze all memberships, I was told, yeah but we have to pay bills and stuff, how about I give you another month? I talked them into letting me use my remaining 2 months like they had advertised but still Im just a little surprised that they would try to take advantage of me when Ive only had positive experiences there up until today...

I lost my job and had to move out of town and the management would not refund me for my unused 1 year membership...because, thats their policy.

They wont...not customer friendly, only cares about the money, not you!! Doesnt deserve even one star.

Recently on generation iron rich gaspari went to visit and gave glowing reviews. If youre a hardcore bodybuilder this is The place to train. If youre a person that would prefer to go to LA fitness or planet fitness, you dont want to step into this gym. Im in my early 50s but I love the camaraderie of the old school gym workouts. From California to Florida it is a great place to work out.

It’s just that all the people that work out there are not who I aspire to be or who I want to look like. I think it’s important to surround yourself of who and what you aspire to be. I respect what everybody do Les there but it seems like everyone are out to be body builders here so it’s just not my cup of tea. Oh and it’s hard to get in and out of their parking, everything is tight.

Comment: Awesome gym if youre looking for an old-school/hardcore place to workout. My one gripe is that parking can be tough to find, and sometimes there are waits for equipment, but they have enough that its manageable. The membership is pretty cheap for what you get and I definitely wouldnt want to go anywhere else for the same cost. Gyms dont get much more legit than this one, and that hardcore atmosphere definitely fuels your workouts.Grunting and slamming weights accepted and embraced. If youre looking for a peaceful workout this isnt the place.

Comment: Epic place to train, old school bodybuilding gym with plenty of space and equipment. Affordable day pass rates. I train here 2-3x a year when in San Diego. Wish we had a place like this in Fort Worth, TX!

Comment: Best gym in San Diego, or for that matter California. Two deadlift platforms, multiple squat racks, a mono lift (the hydrolics are broken), and dumbbells for days. They also have a huge variety of unique machines you wont find anywhere else. They also have a two safety squat bars, a chambered bar, some fat handle cable attachments,While many would consider it a hardcore gym, people from all walks of life train here. From beginners to pro bodybuilders, young and old. Its truly a gym for anyone whos actually serious about training.Cost is absolutely the best deal you can get anywhere for what youre getting. No contracts or initial fees. No frills, no sauna, no pool or basketball courts. They do have showers and locker room which just recently got re-tiled.More than anything else Worlds Gym has given me an environment that has helped me succeed in reaching my goals. If youre thinking about joining come check it out, its $10 bucks for a day pass, they dont do free trials, I guarantee you wont be disappointed.

Comment: Awesome GYM with amazing staff. Everyone greets you as you walk in. Bathrooms smell all the time.. I feel like the price can be maintained a bit better but overall its a great gym if your looking to bulk. They literally have all the machines you need.

Comment: Old school gym with a great vibe. Reasonable rates and friendly staff. Nothing fancy - just lots of plates, dumbbells, and machines. Geared more towards bodybuilders. Weights on first floor, outside area for tires/TRX/lunges, cardio and locker rooms on second floor. Parking can be a bit tight, especially since its shared with some automotive businesses.

Comment: Old school style gym with plenty of free weights, light on the treadmill/elliptical expanses seen at other gyms. Great if you want just a gym, but not if you want classes, yoga or fancy amenities. No yearly fees, no contract needed

Comment: If you want a gym with a juice bar, a sauna and a mani-pedi station, move along. World is about muscle, man muscle, woman muscle, you name it, its about big and strong and it aint pretty. Its a two-story warehouse packed with the widest range of muscle-building machine and free-weight stations of any gym in San Diego County. There are IFBB pros and other high level physique and bodybuilding competitors on site virtually round-the-clock. Its intimidating for a second, but soon enough its just massively inspiring to be working out around the bodies youll see there. The three-month or one-year membership options are among the most affordable rates of any gym in the area and the gear is vastly superior to anything comparably priced.If you use the gym for the eliptical or the spin cycle or the stairmaster or the treadmill, youd be better off at 24-hr. But if your goal is strength and/or mass, you cant do better than World in PB.

Comment: Hard gyms make you hard, soft gyms...Is it a little grimey? Yes. Kinda dark sometimes like a warehouse, yes lol. No frills, no thrills but motivating as hell! And no friggin kids. Let me tell you, you dont see the slackers hanging around parking on all the equipment like it was a bench in this place. Ppl here look good, are jacked and motivated. Ive done enough plushy gyms to have had my share of princesses (men & women) and this is a true gym facility. The atmosphere is great... no awesome! And yeah, no frickin creepers. I needed to do walking lunges and asked where can I do them They were like, outside! I was sold. Come in workout out, do your thing and meet some great ppl.If you need a slew of amenities i.e child care and stream room, sauna whatever, dont come here. Its not for you or your kids!
