Grinder Gym San Diego

I had never felt comfortable in a gym until I came to Grinder. The energy is infectious and the support is genuine. No one will look at you sideways and everyone will root you on for you to reach your full potential. You can crush your goals whatever they may be, losing weight, building muscle, competing in strongman, if you put in the work, Grinder will help you every step of the way!

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.

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!

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!

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.

A life saver is a perfect word for this gym!!! I have always worked out, never really enjoyed it but did it. This gym is amazing! The classes are insane, the trainers are amazing and the grinders are so supportive it's like a family. The support you get from the owner Dave is incredible. I can't say enough about this small gym. It's like a family where you get insanely in shape!!!

Love this place! The trainers are amazing and offer tons of support and encouragement on your fitness journey. The workouts are tough but rewarding and produce amazing results quickly if you commit to it! I've been going to Grinder about 3 months and have achieved better results in that time than I have in years at other gyms. Get off your ass and go Grind!

If you want results, this is the place. I've trained at a lot of gyms during my powerlifting career and I'll say this -- you may find bigger, shinier, fancier places out there, but you will not find the knowledge, expertise and experience elsewhere, period. You won't find that clubhouse feel elsewhere in San Diego, period. Dave DePew is one of the most respected trainers in southern California for a reason. When I walked into this gym on day one, it was Dave who greeted me, Dave who signed me up, and it's Dave who chats with me each and every time I go in about what I'm doing, where I'm headed with my goals, and how to achieve them faster. I've been coaching athletes for a long time and ran a competitive powerlifting team. I am a Level 2 CrossFit trainer, certified in powerlifting, strongman and olympic weightlifting by various organizations including USA Weightlifting and USPA. Dave takes me to school on my knowledge regularly. If you enter this gym with a goal and an open mind, you'll get all the help you need and most likely walk away with your goals and others checked off your list, and more goals to keep working on.Grinder's staff is great as well -- these guys are handpicked by the man himself, so they meet and exceed Dave's high standards. The energy in the group classes is through the roof. As I said, I've been in a lot of gyms -- CF gyms especially, and have not seen camaraderie like Grinder has anywhere else.Whether you're into group fitness, weight loss, arm wrestling, bodybuilding, powerlifting, strongman, or just a good place to go put some work in, you won't find better than Grinder.

There is no other gym/bootcamp/fitness program like Grinder Gym. Dave DePew has created an amazing environment for people that want to lose weight, improve their health and get in incredible shape. Everyone at Grinder Gym, clients and trainers, are friendly and become your accountability partner to achieving your fitness goals. The classes are always challenging, but setup so that first timers can join and easily fit in with people that have been going for years. After losing 65lbs and getting down to 5% body fat on the Grinder I took a break. Big mistake. Now I'm back to get in shape again.

I just started going to the Grinder Gym four weeks ago and I can honestly say, if you are looking to get in shape and have a different outlook on working out, than look no further. Forget about all the other gyms or boot camps out there, this place is the best! The workouts aren't easy, but you will get the results you’re looking for. Dave and his trainers coach you along your way to achieve your personal goals by teaching you the right way to complete each exercise. The workouts change daily, and help you achieve the results you are looking for. My wife and I are planning on continuing our memberships and we can't wait to see the results in three to six months.Thanks for a new start Dave, Grinder Gym and all the trainers.Steve.
