    Decent gym very crowded during peak times. My main complaint is I called and emailed trying to cancel or pause my membership due to being pregnant and a high risk pregnancy (could not work out)... I never got an email back, just got a letter straight from the collections agency (in my husbands name for some reason even though it was MY membership) instead of a response from any employee. Now I owe money to a collections agency just because I could not get in contact with an employee or management. Very poor customer service.

    3 star customer service: Honestly it’s 5 star when they’re not busy, but just so people have realistic expectations for when they get busy, be ready to wait and be patient. 5 star gym equipment and weights. Weights go up to 200lb dumbells and some great machines and Olympic lifting room with racks, artificial turf and more. Verdict. 5 but can see why people put 4 or 3 🌟 They’ve constantly improved the machine selection, they now have a sauna, and the people they employ in the front has improved. Also going in morning I can tell they put more work into cleaning the place, but as the day progresses it can get humid and hot. If you go when they’re busy you’ll be working out in a pit, but honestly, I kind of like that, but know not everyone else does….. so take that as you will. Haha Join knowing what you know. Woot-woot Thanks for reading and have a great day.

    Kind of upset since I woke up really early today and I drove to the gym and took my preworkout and whoever was in charge today 2/3/2022 didn’t show up to open the gym at 4:30am. More than 30 people waiting outside at 40 degrees. We pay our membership and we deserve respect for our time.

    Pros: Right in the middle of Downtown Chula, parking is fair (I parked at the top of the structure), front end staff was friendly and ultimately TG served its purpose. It also enjoyed seeing a lot of the additions TG had built out like their cafe, etc. Also close by a lot of supplement shops. Cons: TG Chula stays packed during regular Business Hours so I found myself having to revise my workout plans almost all the time. Although some may disagree, I felt like TG was more of a modern day Gold's Gym - body building focused. There was a lot of "influencing" happening but it never bothered me unless someone was in my way or taking forever on a machine just to re-record x8 times. Also, there were a lot of unfriendly people/ rude people. Although I don't go to TG anymore - it's a cool gym overall. Equipment is a tad outdated but I did see small improvements over time.

    I have been to gyms all over the East Coast ( north and south), Chicago, and a few gyms on the west and now California. I also owed a gym before COVID came and changed my career path. With that being said this gym is the worst! Let's start with the positive because I try and stay positive even about negative things. First the gym is moderately clean and equipment is normally working. Another thing I thought was great was that they have a room for ppl to flex and I assume take selfies and videos. I never use the but occasionally go inside to grab the Plyo box because they take it to prop their phone but I still thought it was a cool idea. Another good thing is they have 4 or 5 oly lifting platforms and plenty of dumbbells. Ok now the cons. WAY TOO MANY TRIPODS STANDS! Every one thinks they are a Tiktok star. Also a huge negative and I'm pretty sure not legal is ppl are taking videos and pictures in the locker room. I literally got into a spat with someone who tried to tell me to move from changing because they wanted to use the mirror in the locker rooms where ppl are changing. When I asked the front desk what there policy was they seemed like they didn't care. There are more then enough mirrors ( including the room I mentioned) to take pics and vids. Also there are ppl that prop there cameras so far away from them and expect you not to use the area between them and all the equipment they obstructing because they want to record nonsense. It's out of control. I continue to frequent this gym because of convenience and I'm locked into a contract but as soon as I am able I will be cancelling.

    gym is so crowded all the time I don't mind it as much as the disgusting restrooms. With all the money they make from memberships, they cannot afford to pay cleaners. I can stand anything but a disgusting restrooms. The trash is never picked up either in the restroom very smelly. Please hire more people to clean what we pay for. absolutely unacceptable I will not be joining after my membership ends

    Hands down one of the best gyms in Southern California. It’s absolutely massive, they’re always buying new equipment , and the pricing is very reasonable. Serious lifting or beginners are all welcome to there facility and the staff is great & keeps the place clean.

    Out standing fitness facility! Most clients are quiet and do their route. But a 2% are arrogant and like to show boat! When a few leave the gym and leave in their vehicles, they bump thier music and when leaving they start and rev thier cars and do burnouts! Really childish!

    This is quite literally my second home. The environment is extremely motivating and I feel very comfortable and welcome ALWAYS! Not to be corny but this gym changed my life. I have met tons of like-minded people who push me to be better as well. BEST GYM award cx

    HANDS THE BEST GYM IN SAN DIEGO. TG has spared no expense in making sure that it's members have the absolute best of the best when it comes to equipment. Every piece of resistance training equipment possible to hit every single muscle from every angle. TG Chula Vista has a special vibe that I've never in my 23 years of working in the fitness industry come across. Everyone from your average gym goer to serious and professional bodybuilders blended into the most welcoming and tight knit gym community I've ever seen.

    I’ve been lifting here for almost a year. The quality has gone down since I started. If it continues I’m going to look for a new gym. Positives: variety of equipment. This gym has all you will ever need. Most of the people are nice and polite. I usually get good advice from other lifters. Staff is friendly. I lost my wallet and the owner called me up. Negatives: There are meatheads here who set up their stupid tripods in an already crammed gym. Even though the variety of equipment is great they really need to get rid of some machines. It’s getting increasingly harder to walk through the gym at busy times. They constantly change the locations of the machines as well which can get annoying. The functional fitness room is basically a room for powerlifters to hang out. Same group of powerlifters just take over the space making it difficult to get a squat rack or deadlifting platform.

    The gym is such a great atmosphere to get a good workout in the amount of positivity and being surrounded by others who are as motivated to workout as you are is what makes this gym 10x better! I love how we have a variety of equipment and have now extended to 24hrs on certain days. Overall great experience for being there for over a year I cannot complain and look forward to it everyday.

    I personally think this gym is pretty great and as someone who works out at this gym I’m just a little confused by some of the “negatives” pointed out so in response: 1. All the employees are super friendly so the whole not greeting you thing personally doesn’t make sense to me but I’m there to work out not worry about if someone smiles at me when I walk in the door so idk if that’s something that would bother you maybe try planet fitness? 2. There is sanitizer and paper towels available literally everywhere you don’t even have to look that hard so idk how to help you with that one. 3. Uhm I’ve never seen anywhere in the gym where a claim was made to have a pool, sauna, basketball court, etc. so why sign up if those are things you wanted from a gym maybe go to 24 hr fitness? Or literally any other gym that offers those things. 4. Lastly the memberships are reasonably priced, at the end of the day gym memberships are not free and a small price to pay for your health and fitness. To summarize this gym is great the people are so friendly, you should sign up if you’re looking for a new gym to work out at (:

    Love this gym! Been going here since it was a 24 hour fitness. Now this gym got better than ever! It's my home gym. New equipment, clean and friendly staff. Yea it gets packed....because the gym is huge and popular! Duh! Well anyway. Love coming here as the people, community are always welcoming. Chula vista best gym award? Easily. Plenty of room for bodybuilding, powerlifting has its own room, mma area, free weights. The list goes on and on. Great price for what they have to offer! Now they have 24 hours open Monday through Friday! Lest go!

    Really good gym. 5 stars cause it is priced right. Decent equipment and selection. Some of it is getting older but for $30 a month I mean it’s pretty good. Vast majority of people are serious about their workouts and practice good gym etiquette. I go here to be around others who are serious about working out. Good staff. I like seeing the dogs up front. Ignore all the 1 stars about the front desk person. A tiktok vid went viral but it is NOT this location. People should 1) check the validity of a story 2) make sure you have the right gym before you go spamming 1 star reviews at the wrong location. It’s not fair to the gym owner who had nothing to do with any of it.

  • 1/5 jesus g. 10 months ago on Google
    I am not a client but I did witness a young woman get pushed out forcefully and her belongings thrown out by im assuming two workers. One of them was extremely muscular with tattoos. The women was small and that could of been handled better than asulting her. She was terrified and ran off without her belongings. If she reads this I would happily be her witness. There was another person who witness the same assault. SHAME ON THIS GYM. IF YOU DONT WANT TO GET BEATEN UP, DO NOT GO THERE!

    I work at a hospital. I wasn't sure about where to get in shape. I thank God every day I picked this place. I didn't know my goals until I started work out with a guy named kiano and ever since my legs look great. I have abs and feel super confident. I ended up getting my teeth whitened because now I'm even doing photo shoots. My dreams are coming true and more. The supplement line is highest quality. I'm able to take it before work and feel great all day long

    So I have been going to the gym in Chula Vista for 2 years and I can honestly say it is the best gym that I have ever been to. The people, the weights, the atmosphere, it's all just amazing. I would, and am, recommending this gym to everyone I know, six stars-easy!! And the new guy will be at the front desk it's amazing and welcoming. Shout out to William for always sharing good vibe.

    Looking for a gym with badass equipment , very attentive workers , clean gym, and motivating environment … TG Chula Vista is the place for you! The workers here are very attentive to their clients wishes , such as supplying new equipment , making sure their equipment is safe to use (switching out the pads , marking the equipment if it’s out of order , having management work on machines that are in needed of fixing) , constantly having people clean so their members are training in a clean environment, providing meal prep companies / small businesses & such on The environment here is everything you could ask for. Everyone here is super friendly and putting in the work. It’s super motivating to see so many people in their own journeys and having TG CV be the place where every single person can accomplish their goals 💯

    Best gym to go to in san Diego hands down. I've been to other gym in the past. They've been sucky hell even down right horrible. But the gym is one of the best to go workout. I recommended a 100% to anyone who's gonna find a new gym to come here. Because the environment is great, the people are kind and generous. And front desk is so criticious and generous.

    Moved to the area about a year ago & found this gym. My absolute favorite gym here. They have everything you need. Heavy and light weight. Lots of options for every muscle. Everyone there is friendly and there to reach their goals. Not your average commercial gym 🙂 love that they are always adding new machines and fix things quickly. Definitely recommend!

    Plenty of good looking people, a lot of huge bodybuilders. They are inspirational. Plus everything is clean, well maintained and even when is hot outside, we can be exercising in a cool ambiance.

    Pretty good gym overall. Everyone is very friendly. The only issue I seem to have is that it’s always so hot in the gym. The gym uses a few large fans, but seems to be reluctant to turn on A/C. Good selection of equipment and a good place for anyone looking to build mass

  • 5/5 Bryan D. 6 months ago on Google
    This gym is great it’s got all the right equipment for any body part you want to work on also the staff and crew are very helpful.

  • 4/5 Blake S. 1 year ago on Google
    Outfitted for all your gym going needs and desires for the most part. Productivity will depend on the time of day you go, and since they have extremely flexible hours this is a non issue HOWEVER, the only critiques I would have is the lighting in the photo booth not being adjustable, the cleanliness of the bathrooms (mens), and the serious lack of curling bars but that last one is just a personal preference. All in all, a 3.5 out of 5. I like to round up.

  • 5/5 Cassandra E. 10 months ago on Google
    It's definitely a younger crowd here. I do like how they're open really late. Customer service is meh, but it's a gym, so I'm not expecting much from that category. A lot of parking!

  • 5/5 Todd A. 1 year ago on Google
    Best Gym by far in South San Diego County… Equipment and facility always clean and super customer support from all the staff. Everyone from beginner wanting to loose weight and tone to the super dedicated and fit will benefit and fell comfortable here. Parking is always available and easy and they now have a cafe and TRT clinic on-site. 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼

  • 5/5 Anthony B. 1 year ago on Google
    The best gym I have ever been to. They have so much variety on equipment that you can always get a good pump in. The staff is super friendly, customer service was amazing , Steven and josh the owners are such cool guys. When I’m there it honestly feels like family

  • 5/5 Nadia M. 1 year ago on Google
    Before I started lifting at TG I actually had memberships at other gyms (won’t name them for personal reasons) but this GYM is amazing. I love the energy. The music. Everything about this gym just makes me want to keep lifting and going harder than ever. God Bless the owners and everyone who runs this place.

  • 5/5 Faizah H. 1 year ago on Google
    Ive been coming to TG Chula for almost 2 full years now and I love everything about this gym. They add new equipment very often and are passionate about keeping things clean. Everyone minds their business and gets to work. The bodybuilding environment in the air motivates you to do better. Love this gym.

  • 5/5 Manuel C. 2 years ago on Google
    24 hours use to be my favorite gym. But The Gym, is a whole new level. So many weights, benches, machines. Its crazy. Usually if I need a to use a machine and its taken, I have alot more options, to the point that I'm not standing there waiting for the person to finish. I can use a different machine that does the same. And I like that they have spray bottles with napkins in every area. So that people can wipe off there sweat. Because its nasty trying to use a bench or machine thats full of sweat. And most people wipe there sweat when there finish. Great place to workout 💪

  • 4/5 DiamondBrewReviews 2 years ago on Google
    Good set up. Plays good music loud if you forget your headphones and enjoy hip hop music for lifting. No sauna or steam room though.

  • 5/5 jen s. 3 years ago on Google
    Super happy here, worth the commute. Excellent range of equipment and they’re always bringing in more. Clean, expansive locker rooms. Tons of stair steppers (they’re nice ones too) and a functional Fitness room too

  • 5/5 BRETT S. 2 years ago on Google
    TG The Gym Chula Vista is hands down the best gym in San Diego County. The weights are brand new, they keep their machines working, multiple pieces of equipment to target specific muscle groups, 3 separate sets of dumbbell racks so you always have a selection to choose from, great vibe and environment, owners/employees/trainers are amazing and friendly. IT DOESN'T GET ANY BETTER THAN TG THE GYM CHULA VISTA!
