Build is incredible! This gym has everything that you need and most times I'd go to the gym, I had the entire space to myself or there would only be a couple people in there. Even though its quiet, I felt more connected to the members than any other gym I joined. The space is always clean and I love that you have the ability to workout outside. This is the place to be!

Excellent gym. Has everything you need for a great workout and is always clean and well kept. Love that it's not too busy like other gyms so you can workout in peace and are not waiting on equipment. Grateful to have this gem in Ocean Beach.

As a former elite rugby athlete I have trained in gyms my whole life. BUILD is my FAVORITE gym. It is a beautiful, clean, organized space but what makes it special is how much the owner cares about his business. He makes it easy to get going on a membership, he is quick to communicate if I have questions or needs and he makes the gym and it's community extremely special. Not to mention the equipment is all new plus there is a beautiful outdoor space to lift. I can't imagine a better spot to spend my time.

I’ve tried out all the gyms in the area and you can’t beat this local spot. When other gyms are overcrowded, I appreciate the space to workout and there seems to be a small membership that is prioritized here.

The owner Brian is in the gym often, really approachable, and has a background in the industry where he offers guidance for fitness goals!
If you’re in the neighborhood, self motivated, want to workout anytime, and need the space - BUILD is for you!

I absolutely love this gym. I have been working out here for about 3 months now and the experience is always great. Never have to wait for equipment since it is a private access gym which is really nice if you don’t feel comfortable in a crowded gym.

Highest quality equipment, very private, and a class act owner. It’s a premium experience. Well thought through, not overdone, and always clean which reflects on the owner and the clients who join.

If you are looking for a clean, quiet, well maintained and fully equipped space with anything that you pretty much need for your fitness routine, Build is the perfect place for you! It’s personable, a great gym, not to mention you can go in on your own time to fit with your schedule! That’s the best part! I would highly recommend to anyone!!

Great gym with friendly people, despite it being a “private access gym.” Those can feel sterile, but this place actually has some soul—people say hi and are communicative if using equipment or need to share. It’s also very clean and they have all the options—anything you would need for a CrossFit-style WOD, plus a belt squat machine, a cable machine, leg extension/hammy curl too.
I train a few clients at this place and they love it too. Stop by if you’re in town or sign up!

Working out at BUILD has been a fantastic experience! There’s never a crowd, the space is always clean, and the equipment is brand new! I’ve already recommended this gym to a few friends. Thanks Brain for a great gym space!!

My favorite gym in San Diego, hands down. I’ve found many gyms are crowded, dirty, or too expensive for the quality of the place. BUILD is a community and is cared for very well by the owner, Brian. It has everything that you need and nothing that you don’t.

Had an amazing time here for a month in 2025! I was visiting and needed a place to work out and couldn’t be happier! I would definitely return here the next time I’m in San Diego. They have everything I need there, barbells, machines, gymnastics equipment and even a cool outdoor area. The community of members who go there are super friendly and supportive. Also the hours (4am to 10pm seven days a week), were perfect

This gym is awesome. I was a bit unsure about doing this because I generally do group classes. I really really loved this. The hours are so good. It literally feels like my private gym that's open entire time that I'm awake. It has everything I want equipment-wise. Great equipment for any CrossFit workout, plenty of rack space, and a really great little outdoor patio area. Also it has a really lovely little community. I super strongly recommend you check it out, I liked it a lot more than I expected.

Spent two weeks here while traveling and it was the best money I could have spent. If I could dream up a gym, it would be this. It was never crowded, incredibly clean, and has all the essentials for numerous kinds of workouts. I started looking forward to going and seeing what inspired me. Every member I spoke to was very respectful and sweet as well as focused on their workout. Highly recommend if you’re looking for a curated space for dynamic workouts in a beautiful indoor and outdoor environment. Signing up was a breeze and it’s clear Brian, the owner, has put so much thought into all of the details from shower supplies to snacks you can buy to having folks customize the music. I’ll be back next time I’m in SD!

I started my membership at BUILD when they first opened several weeks ago and it is definitely one of the best decisions I've ever made. It is spacious, open feeling, clean and has more than enough excellent equipment for me to do any workout I desire (strength training, cross-fit and cardio). I've really enjoyed the new Rogue air runners (non-motorized). I've never been able to run on a traditional treadmill as I would develop a strong feeling of dizziness. I do not have this experience with the Rogue air runner. I love that I can come to the gym whenever my schedule and motivation allow. The other members that I've had the pleasure of meeting are all extremely friendly and it feels like a small community. I couldn't recommend this place more!

I’ve been going to BUILD for over a month now, and I absolutely love it! The space is amazing, offering the flexibility to come in anytime between 4 am and 10 pm. I can work on my own workouts and programming at my own pace, which is perfect for my needs.Brian does a fantastic job at keeping the space incredibly clean as well. BUILD is well-equipped, featuring air runners, Concept 2 bikes, barbells, ski ergs, and much more. If you’re in the San Diego area and looking for a smaller, private-access gym with a great outdoor patio space and no crowds, I HIGHLY recommend BUILD!”
