What People Are Saying About Fit Athletic Club
Featured Review

In Short – With treadmill views of Petco Park's home plate, Padres fans might be tempted to trade in beers and hot dogs for a pair of running shoes. Dubbed San Diego's first "urban fitness retreat" (think of a rock star's country club), FIT offers more than just the best work out equipment in the world. With three instructional rooms for martial arts and boxing, spin and mat classes, members also enjoy ping pong games, personal training packages and an internet café workspace. Not to mention the swank pool lounge and yoga deck offering direct views into Petco Park. –
Editor's Tips
- The Extras:
- You don't need to pack your duffle bag with towels and beauty things; when you're a member of FIT everything down to razors, blow driers and beauty products are included in the membership fee.
- Fun Fact:
- Be sure to bring your iPods, charged or not; state of the art equipment have iPod docks with larger LCD displays so patrons don't have to reach to their arms or disturb their cardio in order to listen to tunes.
- The Extras:
- FIT is still a work in progress; an outdoor terrace overlooking Petco, rooftop pool and cabanas, internet lounge, tanning salon and upscale fitness boutique are al amenities to debut in coming months.
- Parking:
- FIT validates parking, a real luxury in this part of town, for up to three hours (two hours on Padres' game day).

The lounge style of workout places
by Liv M at Citysearch
This is the nicest gym in San Diego - atmosphere, great view of Petco Park, Pool & Sauna, nice equipment.
Some of the cons: they now have a contract with the Law School, so a ton of students in the yoga classes - you can barely breathe.
Not as much variety of the weekly classes in teaching method. Would like to see more cardio classes, Zumba during the week.
** Marissa is seriously the best Zumba teacher I have ever taken. Jen P. is a phenomenal skilled Yoga teacher. George is an awesome Kettlebells teacher.
Pros: Staff is friendly and helpful. Fun music in the gym. Great treadmills.

Best Gym in San Diego
by Christi523 at Citysearch
I absolutely love this gym. The Boot Camp rocks! All of my friends workout at Fit—and when I meet someone new that doesn’t, it only takes one visit and then they’re hooked too.
- Pros: Boot Camp
- Cons: I'm sore

Fit
by HManning at Citysearch
Great gym. The fighting program is top notch with people who actually fight. Kettle bells, Bulgarian bag, MMA training—what more do want?
- Pros: mat room
- Cons: none

Not your typical gym
by Bunzos at Citysearch
Fit is not your typical smelly gym that was designed by some meathead with a dream. I'm pretty sure a real designer was hired to do this space. It's obvious from the lounge area to the locker rooms. Superb equipment, great layout, and high quality people too. It's the kind of place where you would actually want to network with the other people who workout there. I can't imagine East Village without this place.
- Pros: well designed space
- Cons: i can't resist the tanning beds
