Poor Management, Rip Off Artists

by TomNSDCA

I was charged $600 on my last credit card statement. I have called numerous time to find out why they charged this amount and all I'm told is juice bar charges (yeah, right!). The manager, Brandon Buzarde, does not answer his phone or return messages. I said I wouldn't pay the amount until I received an accounting of the charges and a staff person told me they would cancel my membership unless I paid. Nice, huh....

• Pros: It is pretty with pretty people
• Cons: Management is Awful

Great trainers but management/owner is crooked

by Crazy Zozo

Was a member at Fit for over a year, loved the trainers and that the gym was not over crowded. HATED that they played the music like you were in a night club! Also had a problem with paying a monthly fee then being charged an annual maintence fee. Also was charged for waters and food when I wasn't at the gym. I have since canceled my membership with the proper notice and made management sign for the cancelation notice and now I have been charged for my monthly fee for two months after the cancelation

• Pros: The trainers are knowledgeable and fun.
• Cons: They charge your credit card for for waters when you don't b

Cool space, but probably about to close

by vinodnaga

They are being sued in San Diego Superior Court for not paying their rent - I'd be cautious about handing over an initiation fee to them because it seems that they are having financial difficulty and likely to close.

• Pros: Great equipment
• Cons: Might not be around much longer

Best Capeoira Class in San Diego

by Moranga

The athletic club is a great plus for the downtown life. The interior is top notch and I love the equipment. It has such a great modern feel to it. The 2 best classes are: Capeoira with Bruno and Butts and Guts with Connie. I have taken several Capeoira classes and this one is by far the most challenging. The music is

from Brazil and he teaches a completely different class each time. Expect to burn at least 700 calories. You might also be soar for a day or two. Best instructor I have been to in a long time. Butts and Guts...this class is also very challenging and she will work you out like you haven't worked out before. I was soar for days and my hanmstrings were worked to the max. The yoga is pretty good, as well as th cycle classes. The pool is pretty small and just opened so not sure yet. I will need to swim a few laps and report back. Those are the +. The drinks are pretty expensive for a health club, so bring your own water.

• Pros: top of the line equipment, everyting is brand new, and outstanding classes
• Cons: expensive water................evian is about $4.50 each.

Southern California's first luxury fitness and lifestyle club includes 40,000 square feet packed with high-end machines, roof-top pool and treadmill views of Petco Park.

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.

Great Gym

by 524sd

I've never been one that enjoyed going to gyms, but when I heard of the yoga / pilates, group classes, and martial arts classes that Fit would be offering, I signed up. Now my fiance and I never want to leave the gym! The yoga / pilates and group classes (capoeira!) are fun and a great workout (martial arts classes haven't started yet). Between the classes, machines, and free weights, it's impossible to get bored. I can't wait until the pool, hot tub, and steam rooms are up and running. The atmosphere is great and the staff has all been very friendly and helpful. I love this gym and am glad I joined!

• Pros: Classes, Friendly Staff, Upscale atmosphere, Wide variety of things to do
• Cons: Being charged full membership price before all things are running (pool, hot tub, steam room/sauna, martial arts classes)
