GFit

awesome gym, definitely worth trying out. No two workouts are ever the same, even if you go twice in the same day (which I have).

Gfit reignited my love of physical activity. For the last 15+ years I have battled a disability that has left me with chronic pain on and off, and limited mobility. I re injured myself after being pain free for quite some time and thought I would never be able to exercise beyond an elliptical machine. Then I joined Gfit. I feel I need to personally thank all of the staff here. They have given me the courage to push myself farther than I ever thought possible, both mentally and physically. Oscar has given me private lessons to help me learn to strengthen the area surrounding my injury. Zoarel has constantly been able to offer modifications where needed, until to my surprise, I ended up being able to eventually perform most if not all exercises. Whether its shaping an already healthy lifestyle or a total reboot to living better, they have your back here. This is the 500/​hr celebrity training session condensed into an affordable, fun and positive class and school starts now! You won’t be sorry.

Gfit is the first gym I ever felt comfortable in. I was a member for 3 months while living in San Diego. I recently moved to Phoenix and have struggled to find a similar gym with small classes and hands on trainers. If you are in San Diego and looking for a great, welcoming gym try gfit. I never thought I’d miss a gym so much!

Gfit has transformed me. I started with one of their challenges. They give you a meal plan, you have weekly weigh-​ins, and they even call you to check in on your progress. After six weeks of the challenge and working out with them at least three days a week I lost 10 lbs and 5 inches off of my waist. Their work outs are never boring because you will never take a class that is exactly the same as your last. I am not a gym rat so I was always reluctant to join a gym. This is not your typical gym! All levels are welcome and the owner Oscar is so conscientious with assisting new comers during work outs his care for your success shows! Now I keep losing weight even though I am not on a challenge due to the habits I learned and their awesome work outs!

This review is long over due. I have been a GFIT member for 3 months now and I can honestly say I love everything about this place!
I’ve always lived an active lifestyle but have always wanted that extra toned body. I kept saying I wanted it but going to gyms like 24 hour fitness, my own motivation would barely last a month. I would get into that one month of eating healthy/​working out then three months of slacking off the moment I saw small improvements.
The trainers at GFIT are the best. Each has their own personal style, so even after three months you still get a good work out from the variety of styles and classes offered. They correct you in a positive way so you learn the right way to get the results a specific move should entail. They also push you in a positive way; the gym has a small environment atmosphere so the trainers know you personally and push you to bring your best.
The other members are also friendly and it’s just so nice to work out in a small group where you encourage and push each other to be your best. Briere are beginners and people that have been coming for a few years but the work outs are feared so that you set the tone for your work out. You pick the weight amount you’re comfortable with and although they give you reps for goals, you just do your best to beat your own record day in and day out.
The work outs are honestly addicting! They’re hard, I won’t lie but, I leave feeling more confident about myself everyday having completed my workout there.
I’m just so grateful to finally find a place like this that makes me want to continue coming day in and day out. Where everyone is positive and encouraging. Where the work outs have variety and are challenging. And where you leave feeling physically and mentally stronger and more confident.

I love this gym, and I look forward to my workouts here every day. I started out only coming 2x a week and now I’m addicted and come 5 – 6 times a week. The trainers are awesome and create workouts that are extremely challenging, but fun at the same time. They offer many different types of classes too including TRX, Power Plié (similar to a Bar class), World Cardio Dance and their main staple FIT which has a different focus every day of the week (upper body, lower body, core, cardio, total body)! The people who work out here are really friendly and we often work out in pairs or groups and push each other to work hard. I can’t recommend Gfit enough!

I come to GFit because left to my own devices at a regular gym, I’ll stop working out as soon as I get tired. The GFit classes are just small enough where I get the individual attention and accountability I need to push myself during a workout to the point where I actually start seeing a difference in my body. I love Zoarel & Oscar’s classes; they are definitely tough but also give me the info I need to make sure I don’t hurt myself while exercising. I also feel noticed and welcome at GFit — not just by the trainers but also by the regular members. I get as much motivation watching my fellow members push themselves and get stronger as I do from the trainers.
Also, no GFit workout is ever the same and a different part of the body is targeted each day. I appreciate this especially when I’m sore from the previous day’s work out — I know we’ll work on a different part the next day!
Thanks GFit. I think I’ve maybe written three Unilocal reviews ever, so believe me when I say I feel very strongly that this is a gym worth promoting and joining.

The gym was empty save for one client finishing up stretching with Oscar. Amanda greeted us and was informative. Upon finishing with his client, Oscar gave no acknowledgement of our presence. He approached the area we were, sat down and proceeded to look at his computer. He did not so much as make an effort to make eye contact with us. Amanda stated this gym was like a «family.» Although it was evident we were local and walked to the facility, not only were we not treated as family, but, not even a neighbor. Serving the local community, it seems sensible to be friendly and outgoing especially as a business owner. I’ll pass on this neighbor.

Such a cool gym! Completely different than any other gym you’ll go to. Classes are small and you get GREAT one on one attention. To be honest, I don’t think I have ever gotten better results at any other gym. You’re in a class but you have an instructor to critique your moments and make sure your form is correct. Go check them out!!!

Gfit is one of the few places (gyms) I have felt comfortable working out at! Oscar and the staff are so attentive and make you feel important. Oscar makes you feel like he really cares and thats because he truly does. I really admire his work and the attention to detail with all of the members. In Addition everyone that goes there is extremely encouraging and friendly. I am literally obsessed with Gfit and I am happy to be a part of the GFit Family! Thank you Oscar for everything you do, you have made South Park even more enjoyable :)

Love this place!
I have been living in the area for a couple of years and I’m so angry I didn’t find this place sooner! I’ve only been going for three weeks, I did the unlimited week for $ 20 then bought a pack of classes. I have taken Oscar’s TRX class and Zoarel’s FIT class and thoroughly enjoy them both
I came to Gfit for a couple of reasons, firstly, I’m not a huge fan of corporate gyms. I find them really really boring and distracting. I have always been more responsive to coach based training and small group training. I find it much more motivating and enjoyable. And that’s exactly what Gfit is like. The trainers are so friendly and approachable. During a class, they offer corrections and motivate you (right at the end of a set when you’re feeling weak!) This place is fantastic if you want to show up, work hard and leave feeling accomplished.
Another reason I came to Gfit was because I am pregnant and had to rearrange my fitness routine. (I was a Figure Skater pre-​baby-​bump) So instead, I started Pilates, which has been great for conditioning and pelvic floor but I really needed some weight training and cardio. The trainers at Gfit have been awesome about my pregnancy, they let me workout just like everyone else but they’re there to offer modifications for crunches, jumps and inversions.
Aside from that, the facility is loaded with easy to use, «functional» equipment. They have everything you need, it’s well laid out and clean.
My plan is to continue taking classes all the way through my pregnancy (barring any unforeseen complications) and start a membership as soon as I can after the baby is born!

LOVE it here!!! Love the workouts, the trainers, the variety, and the support with diet and exercise. I look forward to my daily workouts, that special 4:10 teacher slot, and that is something I never thought I would say!!! LOVE GFit!

I was a bit skeptical about trying Gfit. I am a more traditional weights/​running kind of guy, and the thought of classes turned me off. My impression was that most classes are more aerobics oriented, and that in general the goals were primarily weight loss, with a lack of emphasis on resistance training. I also couldn’t see the value of paying north of $ 100/​month for just classes.
I gave Oscar a try, and boy was I wrong. His FIT class alternates body parts every day of the week, and the intensity is 100% scalable. If you put in 100%, you get 100% results. The classes are a mix of crossfit, TRX, TABATA, and interval training, but what distinguishes each class is the emphasis on «plateau busters». For anyone who has gotten into a grind or plateau with their workout, Oscar is a specialist at getting you out of it. With the exception of the warm-​up, which is consistent, I have yet to have two workouts here that were identical.
What I also like is the change in emphasis and style from class to class. For example, there will be a chest/​back day where the focus is heavy weight and reaching your max, and then next week the chest/​back day will be all about repetitions or stability work. It’s really never boring, and the results are dramatic.
I would say that to get the best results, you should commit to 4 – 5 days a week. It’s hard for the first couple weeks, but once you get accustomed to it, it becomes easier to mentally push yourself (even if it’s never physically «easy»).
I think for those who have not done classes before (talking to you, guys), there is an under-​appreciated value to having to commit. Sure, you may spend an extra $ 100−150/month over your 24 hour fitness, but I promise you that you will push yourself harder and be much more consistent. Having to be accountable to someone else is a huge value.
Finally, Oscar provides personal training attention, and really customizes your goals. So for me, weight loss was less of a priority, so he has helped me focus on heavier weights (he has competition level experience, so his knowledge is deep). But he really works with you on what you want to achieve. The classes are generally small (many have 4 – 5 people), so if you think of it as a shared personal training session, the value of the membership is actually very high.

I have been going to GFit for about 4 months now and absolutely love it! Oscar, Whitney and Jules are all great instructors who are extremely knowledgeable and work you out hard! You leave feeling great and accomplished. One of the best parts about Gfit is that you are welcomed the second you walk in and feel part of the South Park/​North Park community while getting an awesome work out. The instructors take their time and explain to you the different exercises you will be doing that day and will also come around and adjust you if your form is off. The classes are usually small (5 – 10 people) which is nice and the instructors know your name. As long as you’re ready to dedicate your time and energy a few times a week to Gfit, I can promise that you will see results! Love this place and can’t wait to get in the best shape thanks to Gfit!

This place gives you such a fantastic workout. It’s in my neighborhood too which makes it extra fantastic. The gym/​workout area is new and very clean and everybody is super friendly. They also limit the amount of people per class so it’s never too crowded. I’ve taken the fit classes with both Jules and Whitney and they seriously kick your ass. I’ve yet to take a class with Oscar because of my schedule but he’s friendly and always says hello when he’s around the gym.

I hate going to the gym, but wanted to start strength training to improve my running. I’m so glad I ended up at GFit! Oscar is great. I love how he tracks your progress each month with the fit tests and body fat measurements. I was always amazed at how much I had improved!
You WILL get results here. If you are new to working out, Oscar is great at helping you get started. Every day is different so you will never get bored. And everyone who goes to GFit is nice and welcoming. I never once felt out of place.
One last note — I have since moved to Houston and there are loads of boot camps here to choose from, but I haven’t found a place I like as much as GFit. San Diego is lucky to have this place!

Totally love GFit! Location is convenient, place is bright and clean! Group exercise classes is an integral part of my wellness, and oscar Rodriguez otherwise known as O-​Rod, makes the tough workout more fun. He has that dynamic style and always a surprise from his creative brain, so He keeps us on our toes. Always something fresh and new, never a dull moment, from warming up, to cooling down, and streches. Best of all I get to play my cool workout mixes!

I LOVE GFit! I was hesitant at first to leave my beloved spin classes, but Oscar and GFit have made me fall in love with a different type of exercise. The classes are always unique, challenging for all types of athletic abilities, and small enough so you get great individualized attention.
Everyone who works here knows your name, is encouraging, and wants to see you improve. I love the fact that I don’t have to think about my workout, I just show up and it’s already planned out for me. I would highly recommend GFit to anyone who wants to feel better about their fitness level, whether you’re a marathoner or just a beginner.

I am not someone who likes to workout, I am not a big fan of the industrial grit of most gyms, but I am willing to try anything twice and I am super glad I did! GFit is a bright, open, welcoming and wonderful place to workout.
The trainers at GFit make each work out fresh, fun, and accessible, even for weaklings like me. I never feel like I am not strong or coordinated enough to do the workout. I have found myself laughing and smiling while working out and making new friends, it really is fun! I am always encouraged and supported by the GFit staff who know my goals and genuinely care about my success.
I WILL DO A PULL UP! That’s my goal.
I started going to group FIT classes 3x a week and in 2 weeks I was down 5lbs, 3inches, and gained 1lb of new muscle. I cant wait to see where I am at now!
The best part is, I just feel better. Happier, healthier, more capable of accomplishing my daily challenges knowing I started the day off being good to my body.
They post specials, tips and workshops on their Facebook page so I always know what is going on. Do yourself a favor and check it out, you deserve it.

Everyone here is friendly and personable. I love that they know my name and sincerely care about my progress. And there is none of that pretentious vibe you sometimes get at other studios. I’ve had a couple small injuries and Oscar is great at ensuring the work out is safe while extremely challenging. In two months I’ve seen incredible results.
I also am a huge fan of the barre classes. I’ve been to other barre studios and they can get packed. At Gfit you actually have enough room to stretch your legs without kicking your neighbor. Katrina is super sweet but will have your butt shaking within the first few minutes of class.
The place is small though. There isn’t a locker room, so I change in their bathroom which seems to work. They’ve got extra mats on hand so you don’t need to rent one if you forgot to bring your own. There’s also free water. Seems silly, but having a water cooler and cups available is really nice, as I seem to forgot my Nalgene more often than not.
