I enjoyed the availability to use any machine, never packed so you can enjoy your workout,
But, needs to work a lot in cleaning every single part is dirty, dust everywhere, you specially floors, they use rags for clean machines that is not healthy you left germs party for the next use, need upgrade in sume equipment,
The staff are 50/50
I recommend if you don’t like packed gyms, but I don’t recommended if you like clean spaces

I have absolutely zero idea why anyone could ever want to work out here. It smells terrible, the quality of the machines is immensely lacking because most of them are in barely working condition, there's not even a running water fountain! The men's room smells like the gorilla exhibit at the San Diego zoo, and in general it's just a really dirty gym. I understand a gym can't be clean all the time, but this place is just awful. 40$/month?!?! No way.

This is a gym that has what you need and that’s about it. If you’re looking for a gym with any amenities then go somewhere else. I’ve been going here for about 3 years so here’s what I’ve seen.

PROS
Olympic weights
Usually empty from 8am-1pm
Deadlift platforms
Kind staff
2 classes daily focused on different body parts

CONS
2 locations only
Water fountain has been shut off since Covid
Damaged machines
Damaged flooring that has potential to lead to injury
Broken machines
Constantly dirty
Only 1 membership that doesn’t allow guests
You’re not allowed to try the gym if your new, you need to pay 20$.
No guests allowed even though they have a sign that explicitly states you are allotted 3 guests daily. (Manager was notified of the sign and still does not allow guests in)

This gym is primarily for those who want to lift in conditions that would be regarded as subpar. 30$ a month is a hefty sum for a gym that does not provide amenities and is scattered with damaged equipment and flooring. I paid 300$ for a year and I wish I went somewhere else. Still a good gym to lift but it’s not worth the money, go to 24 hour or LA Fitness if you want more bang for your buck and water.

I recently completed the Navy PRT Bootcamp training and had an outstanding experience. Coach Houston Fry was exceptional, demonstrating deep knowledge of both fitness and nutrition. Over the course of six weeks, I saw significant improvement, increasing my pushups from 9 to 20. I highly recommend this program to anyone looking to enhance their fitness.

Houston is the best personal coach I have ever had.

After more than four years of not exercising regularly, with several failed attempts to get in shape, thanks to his planning, totally personalized for me, I can say that I feel comfortable again with my fitness and my body.
It's been six months since I started and I now feel that my gym routine is just another part of my daily routine, and I feel good every time I complete it.

In addition, the gym is really well equipped, all the staff is friendly and the overall atmosphere is excellent.
I feel very comfortable going there and it has always been very easy to ask how to use a machine or do an exercise when I didn't know how. 100% recommendable.

Es una pesadilla a la hora de querer cancelar la membresia te hacen cobros anuales por $39.00 y te rematan cobrando otro mes por $30.00. Yo envie mi cancelacion con 30 dias de anticipacion a cumplir el año y aun no logro quitarme los cobros del gym. Quieres hablar con alguien que te resuelva y no tienes garantia de ser atendido con certeza puesto que me siguen cobrando... tengo mi carta de cancelacion que indica desde el mes pasado mi solicitud de cancelacion, obtuve respuesta pero me siguen cobrando. Tendre que cambiar mi cuenta bancaria.

I have been going to Ultimate Fitness for over 6 years and I love it there. The community and staff are awesome, and it is really comfortable to work out there. For the past two months, I have been training with Houston, and my experience has been excellent. Houston offers a hybrid approach, combining in-person and online training, which perfectly suits my needs. His program includes both a meal plan and workouts personalized to my requirements.

I chose the in-person training twice a week, and I am very satisfied with the results so far. Houston holds me accountable and constantly pushes me to improve my diet and complete my weekly exercises. He is always available to answer any questions I have, explaining everything in great detail and clarity.

I greatly appreciate his flexibility and dedication to helping me reach my goals. Although I haven’t reached my final goal yet, I have noticed an increase in my awareness of what I eat and I feel stronger during my workouts.

I highly recommend Houston as a personal trainer. His knowledge and professionalism are exceptional, and he truly cares about his clients’ progress.

Not your “ traditional” gym and honestly it’s better that way. Houston Fry as a personal trainer really makes the difference in how you can view gyming. From his knowledge and encouragement to ask questions to his patience and at the same time way to push you without taking the fun out of personal training n dieting. He really focuses on being on the same page as you and making a training plan actually personalized to what you desire to get out of the experience. What is most important to me is that he teaches you how to make it a life style . Thanks coach!

Ultimate Fitness Center is the best gym out here in San Diego. Been a member of this gym for 5-6 years. Recently I signed up to do personal training with Houston. He’s been pushing me and motivating me to get to my fitness goals. All the staff at the gym are great and outgoing. The vibes this gym has is awesome ! Highly recommend this gym 🔥

It was decent till I asked to cancel my membership due moving. I went in person at first but they told me online, I went online and sent an email but no response. I called the Chula Vista location and they gave me the same email to contact. Also no response three months later, I contacted the same email and finally they responded by sending me a link where they want me to print then sign then take picture to send back via email. I have no access to printer and also why they didn't accept doing it in person since it involves printing and signing? I'm going to contact my bank to report them and prevent them from charging me the annual fee since I stopped going to either location. Very bad experience and definitely not recommended. Not talking about the imperial Beach location where the smell in the locker room is always awful and imagine a gym does not have water to drink but to sell you for $3 a bottle.. I wasted my $300 joining this mess.

This has got to be one of the best gyms I have joined! Gym is always clean and machines ready to use, they got the friendliest staff as well. When I first walked in I didn’t know what to expect from this club, immediately I was greeted by Sergio Bonilla who gave me a quick tour of the facility. He answered any and all questions I had about the gym, also offered great rates for his training 👌🏼 he has helped me to stay on track with my fitness goal and even on days when I don’t train with him, he always gives me suggestions on new workouts to try out! He’ll walk you through it and show you how to properly do the exercises to avoid injuries. Definitely one of the best gyms out there!

I joined Ultimate Fitness 3 months ago. The overall atmosphere of the gym is great. There is plenty of space, machines and weights. All clean and in proper working condition.

I had been to other gyms before over the years and would begin motivated but ended up not going back only after a few weeks. I realized I needed a personal trainer that would be able to get me on the right track and set me up with a tailored work out program to meet my lifestyle and fitness goals. I couldn’t be more satisfied with Houston as my PT. His professionalism, knowledge of the art and dedication was evident since day one. His positive attitude and enthusiasm has made each session enjoyable.

I’ve seen significant progress in my strength, endurance and overall fitness. I owe it to his focus on proper nutrition and making sure I worked on the foundations and correct lifting techniques before I significantly increased the weights. My confidence in moving around the gym and knowing what I’m actually doing is night and day from when I started. I now look forward to making it to the gym and appreciate all the benefits that come with that.

Ultimate fitness is the best gym in Chula Vista. They have outstanding customer service and friendly staff.

Houston has changed my life completely. I went from being constantly tired at 180 Lbs to now a healthy 22 year old maintaining a healthy lifestyle at 150lbs. I can not thank Houston enough. I will never look at fitness the same. I have learned and grown a lot here. I recommend this gym highly! Thank you Houston.

It's what you need out of a gym. Not over-crowded with people and has equipment you need for a solid workout. Chalk friendly. Respectable open times. However, plates are broken, different style ( Same weight but has different shape/size to them. Annoying to try to get multiple plates of the same type), and disorganized. Some machine weight slabs are broken. Water fountain still out of service for "COVID" reasons. Sketchy homeless people congregate outside in the parking lot. I wish they had yoga mats provided for core exercises (maybe they do because I didn't look too hard for them). Nothing is without it's flaws. Some are easier to fix than others.

I used to live a very active lifestyle before life happened, I had medical issues, gained lots of weight, and was very out of shape. I joined ultimate fitness and hired, Houston, as my personal trainer. It was one of the best decisions I’ve made for my health. The PT plan comes with one on one sessions, a weekly meal plan, and access to their fitness app. Houston has been the game changer in helping me get back to living an active lifestyle, he’s tailored a workout/meal plan specific to my fitness goals. During training he’s helped me to become confident with lifting free weights and using their machines (I used to be intimidated by them, I had no experience with them at all). Overall, I would strongly recommend this gym, it’s not just a gym, the culture within it is very positive and supportive, especially for people that are new to working out. If you have specific fitness goals or you feel you need more guidance, definitely check out their personal trainer options, you won’t regret it!

Joined Ultimate Fitness in June 2020. It’s been 3 months and I have to say I’m in the best shape I’ve been in my life. Houston the personal trainer is the best!! Me and my 21yr old daughter have been training with him and we are very happy with our results so far. He is very polite and motivating. He doesn’t make you feel judged. The Gym is big and has plenty of room to feel comfortable. Everyone that works out there mind their own business. The gym and equipment are clean and maintained. I highly recommend checking it out!

It has everything you need at this gym. It is not so busy at the times I want to go to gym which is perfect for me. The biggest problem which is not difficult to fix is the music. It's very stressful and other people have also mentioned that to me before. Also, they need to fix a few straps on a few machines and they need more padding for the squat machines. Otherwise it's great for what I need to do.

Yes it's not your typical gym. Got to admit I was upset when they closed thier 3rd ave. Site. I joined them because they had the pool. Thats the only negative I have about this gym. Otherwise I have nothing but positive comments.
Thier focus is on core specific classes. They Also have great Zumba classes. My favorite instructor is Blanca. They have rowing machines, elliptical trainers, Stair masters, punching bags, tires to hit and flip. There is so much variety it's really hard to burn out at this gym. Not to mention al of the weights in the weight room. I love this gym I'm very comfortable here. My 3 son's and husband and I all have a membership here. I highly recommend this gym if your looking for a gym with lots of variety!
