Clean, amenable, and friendly customer service. Perfect for getting a post-work workout at Mission Bay.

The facilities are well kept, and the customer service is on point. All kinds of patrons workout here, so you definitely see a good variety of fitness and skill levels. I definitely feel welcome and awed working out here. They also offer personal training classes! Plenty of Group X classes to go around.

One big downside though: you won't find a calf raise machine anywhere, so expect donkey and dumbell calf raises when it comes to leg day.

Other than those, it's a solid, low key gym. It's nice that there's no contract commitment, even though the monthly fee is a bit steep ($68) compared to chain gyms.
