This club is Equinox quality minus the higher cost. It's got everything you need, from strength, weight training and tons of cardio choices. Lots of innovatively-designed machines and equipment that are hugely flexible and can adapt to a multiple range of fitness goals. Great pool and an outdoor training area. Professional trainers, incredible locker rooms, lots of food choices (from Urban Taste) and a really super-nice, professional helpful staff. Best gym in the city by far.

This gym is great. The Little Italy location is brand new and there's everything from power racks to brand new high-tech cardio equipment. The outdoor area on the roof is great for a summer workout. The staff are amazing as well, especially Kevin who was super friendly and got us up and running in no time.

This gym itself has fantastic facilities and equipment, the staff is friendly. The reason for my lower star rating is that I feel this membership is not the value I initially signed up for. When I first joined it was under the premise I would be receiving free unlimited classes (like yoga and other group fitness). When corona shut the gym down they charged me for a full month when they were open for 15 days of that month. Then when they finally opened again, did not charge a prorated credit. They charged me for another full month. Hence I paid a months membership fee for 15 days and this gym is not cheap. I pay the same price for the gym as when I was receiving unlimited classes to now be offered classes in which I have to pay to reserve a spot. Ridiculous. The gym membership price should be knocked down since they no longer offer the same services. When I asked why I was charged a full month I was told they would be going out of business if they didn’t as they are new. So fit being a new business justifies straight up stealing my money? For what they currently offer with corona this gym should be substantially cheaper than what they’re charging people.

Finding a new gym is hard. Finding an awesome, well-maintained and ventilated facility —in addition to an amazing staff—during a global pandemic is even harder.Fit - Little Italy somehow managed to accomplish just that. The gym is nestled on the outskirts of the hustle and bustle of Little Italy, San Diego, located near Luma Apartments and adjacent to Carte Hotel. One of the newest additions to the Fit family, the Little Italy branch boasts two-floors of spacious workout areas, a pool and jacuzzi and an outdoor workout area.Over the last few weeks, Fit - Little Italy has quickly become one of my favorite gyms of all time, and definitely fits the perfect definition of a neighborhood gym. The community takes care of the equipment, like re-racking and wiping down equipments after each use. What seems like a simple and polite etiquette behavior somehow feels lost at other gyms. Additionally, you can see the cleaning staff making their rounds every so often to do a deep clean.Major shout out to Eli, Dylan, Jordan, Kiana and countless others for making what can be a scary and nerve reckoning experience—you know, like finding a brand new gym—a seamless and pleasant experience. Solid 5/5.

I love being in walking distance to such a nice gym! They have everything we need there, in a boutique styled but spacious city location. The monthly rates aren't cheap, but still much more competitive pricing than an Equinox!

Gym facility is great. Pool and hot tub are constantly filthy, they don’t have anyone clean it out so there’s hair, dirt, and mold covering the bottom/sides. Have mentioned to staff of gym and hotel several times, nothing done :(

It’s a great gym, one of the best but a few things...Steam room in the men’s locker room feels cheap, plastic materials, not a huge fan of the LED lights, you should have the ability to turn them off..materials and aesthetics do not match up with everything else..like the showers...which are great 👍Hours imo should be extended...It would be a dream if certain locations were 24 hours because sometimes you really have that kind of energy at night Would be great to have 24 access to the sauna and steam/gym facilitiesMy favorite location is Mission Beach mostly because it’s at the BEACH and you can literally get out of the sauna, run to the water and take a cold plunge in the ocean less than 60 seconds🤔I think a cool addition to the sauna and steam room would be a cold shower..like much colder (40F-50F) I just feel like the water that doesn’t come out of the regular showers is cold enough 😂I still think being a member of this gym is an incredible value
