Club Paradise Fitness

I used this Gym when I went to San Diego to visit my sister. It was $ 10 for a 24 hour pass. Half the equipment was new and the other half old. It was ok, I got my workout in. It looks like their aerobics room is very nice when I peaked in. Some of the equipment is outside but shaded and I thought that was interesting. Its so hot in San Diego why would you want it to be outside but hey I’m not going to judge that. It was an ok gym but I would not become a member if I lived near unless it was the only option.

This is a great little gym for a small town. The staff are friendly, the machines are adequate and the cardio equipment is modern and well maintained. There are TVs to stare at while you sweat. They offer plenty of classes with competent teachers. Child care is a small room, but hey, you should only have your kid there for an hour at most any way. There is minimal strutting and preening. People bring extra fruit from their gardens for everyone. I have looked at the other reviews and I had this exact same membership problem at Fitness 19 in Oceanside. They kept deducting forever from my checking account after I quit. CALL YOUR BANK, they can put a stop payment to any business that is withdrawing from your account without your permission. Hope this helps.

About a year ago my father and law and I decided to move to another gym. I received a bill for ~$ 300 a couple weeks later. I came in and met with Mark. He looked up my account, and my father in law’s account, and said my last payment was made on the same day the invoice was sent out so we both were paid in full. He printed out my –0– balance, and my father in law’s (Jim) balance of –0-​.
A YEAR LATER, I get a bill for over $ 400. My father in law and I both had personal trainers and spent over $ 9,000.00 in a year here. DON’T GO TO THIS GYM!!!

Horrible customer service.
Be careful if your contract ends because they will keep charging your account each month with out telling you.
Won’t give you your money back for the months that they charged you without you knowing.
Shows no interest in trying to help you.
The hours are hard to make it in if you’re working.

I give it no stars. Why you may ask? Well I’m in the service and had to move to Oceanside. I tried to end the membership but they wanted 55 plus 75 dollar fee. I felt I shouldn’t have to be penalized because I had to move and didn’t have time to drive and pay so we tried to call with no response.
So we finished the 18 month contract thinking it would just stop pulling money while we never went to use the facilities. Well come to find out they continue to charge us month to month not even notifying us of the end of contract. When we called to talk to someone to cancel they wanted additional 65 bucks.
This place is a SCAM! The Facility is a too small too crowded. People look shady, the equipment is for only beginner, bathroom, what bathroom, it is a closet. No air conditioning parking lot is too small and is dangerous to get in and out of traffic. Bums like to hangout on the corners and harass you. A lot of the members smell like they don’t take a bath or haven’t been introduced to deodorants. This organization will be Black Listed so that other military members will not be Scammed. I will be calling the California Business Bureau.

I have been a member of this gym for a while now. One day I looked at a picture of myself & knew I needed a major change. Over the past few years I gained about 45 lbs. This is hard to say from a person who was always active thru taking and teaching dance classes. Gain weight? Me? NEVER. But life happened and I did gain weight. Going to the gym twice a day for months doing my own work outs and having strict diets was not working. It was not giving me results and it was frustrating. I was doing all I could! What did I need to do to get results? Over the past 3 and a-​half months I have lost 15 lbs and have managed to keep that weight off. The secret? David’s 5am Boot Camp! In just over a week of committing to this class people were complementing me on results and changes they were seeing. David really pushes you and pays well attention to all his students and what their limits are. He will make you take that extra jump, extra step, he will push you to get you to your goal. Club Paradise has a great variety of classes to get you to that next level. Step on in and give it a chance. I can tell you the instructors are committed to their students and will help you out.

If I could give this club a zero star I would. Absolutely horrible, I don’t know where they got the picture on here because that’s not what the club looks like at all. It is very run down and old. No privacy in the bathrooms. Child care room could probably hold only two kids at a time in it because of how small it is. Mark at the front desk is incompetent. They charged me twice on my cancelation fee and I’ve waited over a week to get my refund. Called Tim numerous times and have not got a call back from him yet. Every time I have gone in to talk to him the office is closed which the day prier mark has told me he will be there and is not. Sorry most people work during the day and can’t show up at ten when you actually want to work. They are way to expensive for a tiny gym that doesn’t provide you anything I mean LA fitness is cheaper than them and they have more branches better hours better works and their «office» Is there the whole time they are open. DONT GO TO PARADISE FITNESS.

I use to go to Club Paradise when I lived in Fallbrook, for about 6 months til I could afford my own weights, heavy bag & speed bag. Loved going there because from the first time I walked in I was greeted, shown around, given a free day pass (which got extended because the man undedstood my financial situation)…just a great experience due to Mark Raymond. He was always helpful & friendly. I joined the gym after that. Awesome Gym

This gym is way overpriced. I went in to inquire about a membership and the sales person showed no motivation in even getting a new member. I wasn’t offered a tour or anything. Just told the price list and that was it. Was never told about a special they were running either. Was given a one day trial. Used that and then was told i didn’t qualify for the special b/​c i used the trail day? Horrible business. The place is run down and crummy. The child care room is basically a closet and the price per month is ridiculous! Dirty, old and not up to the standard for the amount they are charging. Very tacky business manner, but since it is the only gym in town I guess they have been able to get away with this. I would recommend making the drive to temecula if you want a quality gym for a decent price. I would not give a dime to this crummy, overpriced establishment. Not to mention the unprofessional manner of the staff. Front desk girl on her phone ignoring you until she finishes up a text. Not a good way to run business.

I love this GYM. The employees and trainers are very professional. It is not a meat market like some of those other gyms. I quit going to 24 hour fitness because of that reason. Thanks for making a safe and great gym. Recommended to check it out. And to all the moms they have childcare available during the peak hours.

If you hate privacy, this may be the place for you! I complained on numerous occasions about the door to the locker room being left open by employees. A door that was not only open but also gave view to a mirror allowing any passerby to see the girls changing. Their solution for that giant mirror, which they claimed they didn’t know about? A poster that, granted, covered a fair portion of the changing room area view, but not all of it, and the door was still being propped open. After having enough of needing to voice privacy concerns with them, I decided it wasn’t worth the anxiety. I cancelled my membership and asked that they at least return the last month’s fee they made me pay up front. I probably would have overlooked it when they declined to do so, but then they proceeded to charge me one more month’s fee! When I called to get my money back, as I was sure this was a mistake, they claimed I have to give them 30 days notice. Oh, but don’t’ worry, they gave me an extra month to use their gym on them (because I clearly love going there so much???)… Yes, for those of you keeping track at home, Club Paradise forced me to pay a last month up front, a last month at the end, and doesn’t care about anyone’s privacy. And if you want your money back for services not being provided, they will essentially flip you the bird.
DON’T GO TO CLUB PARADISE!!!

Really don’t like this gym… One of the staff members started texting me after my fiancé and i signed up… Was really creepy considering that they didn’t text my fiancé, and continued to text me till my fiancé went in there and told them to stop…

Pretty cheap for a quality gym. Trainers take it way back, back to the basics, and I love it! Danny is an amazing workout trainer and is a wealth of information and knowledge.
Couldn’t recommend this place more!

great local gym that has anything u need, from kettle bells to free weights! and recently purchase brand new nautilus equipment! not bad…

I was a member of LA Fitness in Murietta. I was working out with a PT two times a week and fighting the most ridiculous traffic on the 15N. Just recently joined Club Paradise and an have been really happy with the location (5 min from home) and the quality of equipment. I am a fan!

Love this place! Clean awesome new equipment and wonderful staff they are always there to ask for help but one of them not sure who he is but he comes of rude older man besides that there wonderful always friendly love the new addition the blonde younger lady super sweet and always greeting me when I come in the morning great pick keep it up club paradise

I have attended Club Paradise for 8 years. I attend in the mornings where it is an older crowd with no intimidation. The place is always clean, plenty of equipment to use, and helpful instructors when you need them. They have long hours seven days a week. I’ll be going there at least another 8 years, one day at a time.
