Grinder Gym San Diego

We went to deliver some weights and gym equipment to Grinder. It was my first time there. The equipment they have there is amazing. They have a lot of outdoor equipment and a crossfit box.

Phenomenal atmosphere, all the iron you could want. Lots of different types of workout equipment, from machines to free weights, Olympic lifting platforms to strongman competition gear. Great job, Dave!

I found Grinder Gym when looking for an outdoor facility that offered plenty of space to train and a variety of equipment. I'm definitely a member for life now. It's an old-school throwback to the Arnold-era, awesome for real weightlifting and no-BS workouts, but the amount of new equipment added over the past year makes it a great place to start for beginners as well. The owner has invested heavily in extra equipment so there's no waiting for plates to become available, and I've always had plenty of space to work out in. Highly recommend.

If you are a serious iron addict this is the gym for you! It has a much more intense, hardcore training atmosphere than a commercial gym which really helps to get pumped up for your workouts. This gym has EVERYTHING. It has all the machines and equipment you'd expect a normal commercial gym to have and then way more specialty equipment for practices like armwrestling, strongman, bodybuilding, powerlifting, crossfit and even grip training. The owner Dave is super nice and is very helpful with any questions or concerns you may have. 10/10 recommend this gym!

I was visiting from out of state and wanted to find a gym where deadlifting, etc. is not frowned upon. Grinders gym was awesome. I liked working out in the open air with my teenage son. Great selection of equipment and free weights. I would definitely re-visit next time I am in town. I gave 4 stars instead of 5 because the price to work out for the day was way too high in my opinion - $15 for a one day pass. Liked the atmosphere overall - great people.

Power lift, cross fit, classes, grip strength, strong man workouts this gym has everything. Dave is always bringing in new and different equipment to try out. No selfie thots or posing douche bags.

Amazing place to workout! If you are seriously looking too change your life from bad to great, and have a consistent work out that gives you everything you need from cardio to weights to the coaches, the owner you must try to appreciate The Grinder gym.. no other gym compares... 24 hr is a joke!

Hands down best "no BS" gym in SD. Coach Dave has a long and successful track record in the body transformation industry and he'll keep you accountable without putting you down- no matter your body type or skill level. I love this gym.

Grinder is a one of a kind gym and Dave Depew is a one of a kind trainer. A real master in the world of personal training. I've known him for 14 years and have seen him over and over again help people transform there bodies and lead them to a healthier life. He's been a real mentor and friend to me and I have the utmost respect for him and his gym. If your looking for a gym that will help you achieve your health and fitness goals then Grinder Gym is the right place for you!

The best gym I've been to stateside with an awesome owner whose very personable and enjoys running his gym. There's plenty of iron and no wait like other gyms when trying to get your lift on, as it's never over crowded. If you want a real gym without the hassle and crowds this is it.
