I've been a member of a variety of gyms in San Diego, from the "corporate big names" to other locally-owned gyms in different areas. Ultimately and more importantly - honestly, the gym has 97% of equipment required for everything and everyone at any level or fitness category/discipline. Heavy iron lifters to Crossfit to Aerobic exercisers and everything in between all have a place and get what they need to get done and have a great workout here. As a South Park local I can tell you this gym really permeates the neighborly vibe and familiarity that makes me never want to leave South Park. Owner Rob is an extremely helpful and courteous guy and is always looking to improve aspects of the gym (they just installed some stellar new turf in the outdoor section out back!). There is plenty of equipment, so I have never felt like the gym was overcrowded or "I had to give up my spot" or "wait for a machine." All the fellow gym-goers and members of staff are courteous and VERY conscious of COVID protocols as well. Added bonus is the VIBE! Awesome/Unique music, gorgeous art surrounding the walls, and the gym is LITERALLY a converted fire station. You can't get that at 24hour!

I have to start by saying that Rob, the owner of Southpark Fitness, is amazing!! He's always there to greet me with a smile and make sure that I have everything I need for my workout. I love that he brings his dog with him - it really adds to the friendly and welcoming atmosphere of the gym. And it's great that his son works there too, you can really tell that it's a family-owned business that cares about its members. The rest of the staff is amazing as well - Elena and Michael Angelo are always friendly, so kind, and helpful. I really appreciate that the gym is not busy, so I never have to wait around for equipment. The environment is comfortable and laid back, which makes it easy to focus on my workout and enjoy my time at the gym. Overall, I'm really happy with my decision to join Southpark Fitness and I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a gym with a friendly and dedicated owner and staff.

This gem of a gym brought me to South Park for the first time, and I couldn’t be more pleased. What an awesome time! Rob (the owner) and Gabby felt like old friends, and everyone that came in were all neighborhood friends — the energy was just great. This isn’t a fancy training facility full of high energy classes and brand new equipment. It’s just the best neighborhood gym you’re going to find, with indoor and outdoor spaces and all the equipment you should need for a solid workout. I dropped in for a (cheap!) day pass and it was perfect. No locker rooms but clean bathrooms with showers, and safe places for your things. Oh and they have great music, you can leave your headphones at home :)

Super cool laidback friendly neighborhood gym. Everyone knows your name and says “Hello”. Newcomers very welcome. Good, solid (not super high tech) equipment kept in good repair. Open, airy SoCal feel. Music on point. People doing yoga over there peacefully coexisting with dude doing clean and press over here. Considerate, be good unto one another culture. Owner is one in a million. Someone who legitimately cares about serving the people in the neighborhood he actually lives in.

The best neighborhood gym. Rob the owner is the fantastic, the staff knows your name and rarely crowded. All the equipment you need. People put the weights back after using them which sounds small but reflects the culture of the place. I wish the hours were a bit longer but that's the only negative I can think of.

Clean, inviting, super fresh air ventilation- keeping up with our health! Such a needed service these days! They do offer single day passes if your just visiting, or want to try out their environment. Very good trainers available for appointments! …

South Park Fitness is the best. The owner Rob is a great guy, he remembers everyone's name and the atmosphere is inviting and low-key. It's a true neighborhood gym. Love the character of the building too! ‍ …

A super awesome local gym. Feels like barber shop type community. Has enough equipment. Great for local community, not so much a pick up scene like other spots. Super worth it!

Great little gym....has all the basic equipment to get a great workout. The decor was awesome and the gym was clean. It even has a small outdoor area with equipment.

Great quality and assortment of equipment and machines, indoor and outdoor area, super friendly owner (Rob) and staff. Very COVID safe. Never too busy.

Blocks away from home. Friendly owners. Other members are friendly and fitness focused. Great neighborhood Gem! Don’t know why I didn’t join sooner.

Great local place to workout, equipment is old but functional. Owner is extremely nice. Only time I didnt need headphones, music on point.

Great gym! Friendly owner and members. Awesome neighborhood atmosphere with good music and just the right amount of equipment and space.

The number 9 fire station has a history nearly as long as the experience and nearly as impressive as the skills, of Robert and Marco.

Rob is super sweet and the facility is amazing. Would recommend to anyone in the neighborhood or just passing through for a drop in!

My neighborhood gym, love it. Owner and staff are always so kind, making your day better with their warm and welcoming smile.

Rob is a really nice guy. Awesome building. Polite patrons. Great community business that gives the neighborhood its charm.

Awesome place to work out. It's got everything you need and the staff is awesome, and care about your fitness goals.
