Being Fit Fitness Centers

5 stars for Todd, the manager who welcomed me on my 1^st ever gym membership. I love how compact and intimate the place is. Some reviewers said it could get crowded on peak hours but I am fine with that. I love how affordable and easy it is to sign up. The gym facilities looks okay to me plus I can’t wait to try their classes! Hope they would offer more on their late nights so I could catch up after work ;)

A really great value for anyones essential workout stuff. I haven’t found a deal this great anywhere in my area. Really chill atmosphere, not full of the muscle heads at 24 hour fitness. Clean equipment and nice people. Has a good community feel. I became fast friends with Todd on the second day! Great guy btw.
It’s nice that there is no tight contract. I pay monthly and just have to give 30 day notice when I want to cancel. They also let you freeze your membership for up to 4 months. I’ve been gym hopping for a while but I think I landed on a nice little place that’s within my budget.

I think they can spice up biz model a bit. Have some more benefit for member. Or run a pilot program: bring yr friend first week of the month, people feel good and have fun they will sign up for membership.
not bad but can be better :)

I want to give this gym no stars so that less people will come so I have more space ;) (is that evil? Muuaahaha) just kidding kinda.
Anyway I was going to Point Loma Sports club for a while (while living in Mira Mesa, the drive sucked everyday yuck) because I used to work there.
Also, 24 in UTC, the Y in La Jolla, the marine Base in Miramar and crunch fitness in Serra Mesa. (I like to work out and gym hop obviously) lol but I needed a gym Close to home. I decided to try BeingFit because of its lower prices and being only a couple miles from home, it’s runnable distance.
(No childcare, bummer but it’s too small of a Gym to guarantee kids every day)
I was contemplating signing up for months when they first opened at this location but put it off (as I was training for MMA elsewhere) the day I finally walk in, I talk to the most friendly (and attractive) young man at the front desk. He was very helpful with explaining costs and fees and benefits and blah blah blah.
I was able to work out that day and came back the next. (He was kind of my motivation to go to this gym) I kept
Coming back and we talked after my workout for a few hours and he introduced me to other kind, coworkers. He ended up leaving (due to other jobs/​priorities) but we still come here together to work out pretty often.
(Funny story that guy and I have been dating for past few months hehe)
Anyway, it’s small but just enough equipment to get a kick-​ass workout!
Kind of Cramped, and super busy right after work hours (5 – 8) but convenient and quiet.
I like the green walls. It makes me happy. Wish there were more mirrors in the weights area behind the squat racks and leg machines. Over all pretty decent

Joined this gym almost a month ago. It’s a really good gym with all the equipments you need.
I read the previous reviews and I don’t know why people didn’t like it.
I had no issues with the payment and everything’s going good.
You get your space even in the peak hours.
Thumbs up for this gym.
And yeah Todd is a really good trainer here.
HAPPY TO JOIN THIS GYM.

Thought we’d try the «Special» no membership fee this month. They just changed the name of the fee to «Processing». Then the «Low monthly Fee of $ 19» is only if you sign a one-​year contract and pay electronically and monthly. Then there is like a 90 day notice or something. This was presented to us before we even got offered a tour of the place.
The «initial one-​time fee» thing is so misleading. I was a member before… about 4 years ago. I already paid this «one-​time» fee. I should have known things hadn’t changed. I had to discontinue my membership. They won’t let you put your membership on hold. Wound up having to cancel… and pay almost 3 months extra!
The location of this place is great. Too bad they are so dishonest in their agreement. Why advertise a monthly price if you don’t offer a monthly membership? I’d be willing to pay more if I knew I wouldn’t get screwed from the get go.

Good price, enough equipment that if you get here during off hours you’ll have a good workout. Don’t expect fancy equipment though, this is for the basics. But that’s all you need.
Be wary they are inflating interviews by rewarding Belly points for providing 5 star reviews on Unilocal

ARROGANT AND GREEDY OWNER. NEVER JOIN THEM
–we moved to this area and my wife wanted to try a local gym. she joined gym on 20^th july. she went for 20 days. then she couldnt find time to go there so we decided to cancel her membership. she called them for that on 28^th aug. she was told to come over and fill upa form. she did that. somehow the owner tricked and put 31 st august. she was in an impression that these are nice guys and will charge for only one additonal month due to some cancellation policy. they charged 22 $ for
wife didnt got for a day. we thought they wont charge us any more. but these arrogant and greedy people dont respect their customer. they just want ream each penny out of your pocket. they charged us again for october. reason for that was we were supposed to notify them 3 days before .as matter of fact we did. but as i mentioned somehow they tricked my wife. so i paid 44 $ extra eventhough we didnt want to use their gym. i never been come across such a rude and arrogant people. they should have been big heart and open mind for their customers. they dont care whether you like their gym or not. they just want suck money. be prepared to pay extra for at least 2months if in case u get a thought in your mind to join this GYM
be happy with this extra money. you should be able to buy an Island. now with my money.

Love this GYM, everyone is friendly here.
The people at the front desk is very helpful and nice. Todd would get out of his ways sometimes to help.
It does get really pack sometime but if you come at the right Time it can be as empty as well.

My boyfriend goes to this gym and I go to 24 hour fitness in UTC, and wow, what a difference! I wanted to try a local gym close to home, where I don’t have to drive half an hour to get to. So I thought it would be fun to join my bf for a quick workout session at his gym.
We get there, and looking in through the glass windows, the gym doesn’t look that bad. I understood that it was a small gym, so I didn’t have that much big expectations from it. As we walk in, the guy at the front greeted us from the office. I waited there to see if I could just check out the gym for a night and think about joining. He never came out of the office, so I just walked in. Haha.
They have lots of different rooms to go in, but we just went in the room with all of the free weights. We were just doing a light leg workout, and boy was it crowded in that little room. Not only was it crowded, but the equipment looked run down. And there wasn’t enough room for me to even lunged.
I gave up on that room and browsed around. I saw that they had TRX bands, which I was pretty excited about. As I get the bands down, there wasn’t enough room for me to do my workout.
After that, I sat on the benched and people watched. Haha.
It’s even lucky that it got a star, because Unilocal doesn’t allow no stars to be reviewed.
But after last nights visit, I am willing to drive 30 mins to my gym. As they say, there really isn’t place like home!

Woohoo! This gym is as good as it gets, its never over packed and the staff is great! And best of all it is centrally located, way more affordable than those giant corporate gyms I’ve joined in the past, and NO CONTRACTS! I would recommended it to anyone. Ask for Todd, he will help you get started on a personal fit program that’s best suited for your needs.

I have been a member of this gym for 10 years now and go 3 – 4 times a week usually in the morning. I LOVE the fitness classes. There is a nice variety and I feel I get a good workout without having to think about it too much. I just go in, follow the instructor and go home. Easy!!! The instructors are very knowledgeable about the body and pay attention to the members — to make sure we are working out safely. My favorites are Maria and Elana — great energy and attitude, making each workout fun. The staff (Rebecca & Cash) are very friendly and helpful.
My husband uses the weight room and the cardio room and has never complained about having to wait for equipment and believe me, he would be complaining if he had to wait.
The bathrooms could use some updating but generally are clean and there are plenty of lockers in them — just bring your own lock.
There is no pool or sauna but the price is right. This is a great local gym with friendly staff and members and clean machines for a full body work out. You can get your workout done and on with your day.

Ahhh, Being Fit… you continue being there for me…
but I’m not there for you during peak hours.
How else can I exclaim how much I love being a member here other than my previous post full of thesaurus-​vomit? The gym has gone somewhat of a small metamorphosis including lime-​painted walls and a TRX jungle gym. I continue to be welcomed with the same unbridled enthusiasm from the same friendly staff members along with the new faces! They also recently started doing the Belly program which is a points-​per-​visit rewards program. I really think my name should be spelled Geoffree as nothing says motivation to me than FREE incentives and boy do I want to earn me some free personal group training classes~ Which by the way are excellent. The last one I took was probably over a year ago but it did play a part in my whole fitness enthusiasm chapter!
The gym does crowded between roughly 5−7pm but this is the standard with most gyms. I’m lucky enough to have a flexible schedule where I can go during the middle of the day and actually do my 45 minute set in 45 minutes.
As I’m in here at least 5 times a week, I can see the amped level of motivation in everybody. I only talk to a few other members personally but you’ll start to see some regulars. I’ve never had a problem with sharing equipment with other members between their sets and everybody wipes down the machines after their sweaty usage which is really just beams of heaven in the gym-​universe.
And I still can’t believe at how great of a deal the membership prices are. If I paid for an LA Fitness membership do you know how much oatmeal and protein powders I’d have to cut out of my budget?

At first everything was fine. But then one day I got a very mean letter in the mail regarding not paying my bill. They never actually called me to let me know that my credit card needed to be updated, they just sent out a very threating letter about how I had to pay them or else… They ended up charging me 10 bucks just to update my credit card info! But I stuck with them since I had a contract.
Then I moved and stopped going. My contract was up, and I tried to call in to cancel. Of course they wouldn’t, they said I have to provide written notification within so many days… So I did that, and they charged me one more month before they finally stopped charging me for a service I wasn’t even able to use.
The gym itself is mediocre, not too busy and can usually get a machine… but expect them to try to ream every dollar out of you that they can.

I love the great Fitness Classes! I’ve been a member for years now, and take several classes a week, in their large mirrored space. All the instructors seem well-​trained, and make the classes fun and enjoyable. All the basics are here: Machines, Free Weights, Lockers and Showers. The staff and members are pleasant and friendly.

Pros:
none that I can think of
Cons:
1. Small gym lacking in all equipment for cardio and weights. You will wait for whatever it is you are trying to do. For an hour long workout, schedule 2 hours.
2. Nowhere safe to put your belongings.
3. Not kid friendly.
4. Staff is commissioned and pushy to sell you training
5 Gym atmosphere is prissy and uptight
6. people will bother you even if you wear headphones
7. parking is shared with a vows and a bowling alley. It can be very trying to find a spot to park
8. They don’t have a cleaning staff.
Overall, avoid this gym. The cost is low for a reason. The gym hours are often tight. The place is often packed. People are extremely sensitive and rude. They try to lock you into a lengthy contract with an exit fee. Every day they will pester you to take up training. They even started removing equipment in favor of their personal bodyweight training. After the pain of working out here for 3 months, I canceled and took the exit cost and went to a real gym. If I could give this place zero or negative stars I would.
To give you an idea of their staffs attitude: there was one day where they were doing some painting. The painter spoke to the staff about the fumes which were pretty strong. The staff said, if they don’t like it they can go home. That is their attitude toward you once you sign on.

Checked out the gym to see what it was like and the lady showed me a paper with the prices on it. Then she asked are you interested? I wasn’t going to make a decision on the spot like that so I told her I was undecided. She didn’t walk me around the gym but told me I could check out the equipment, a little awkward but alright. It is a really tiny gym, no lockers and the cardio room only has a few machines. When I came back at 10 a.m. with a one day pass, I checked out the cardio room. Almost all the machines were taken so I worked out on the bike in the back. I had to wait awhile for the machine I actually wanted. Way too crowded for my liking. Needless to say I didn’t sign up there.

Being Fit is a small gym, but that’s what I love about it! I’m usually intimidated by new environments but I’ve felt comfortable at this gym ever since the first day I started (which was about half a year ago). The staff is super nice and friendly, especially Todd, Tommie, and Emberlin.
I normally come in at 6−8pm on weekdays and use the treadmill, private work room, and weight room and usually never have a problem with waiting for a machine. You start to recognize familiar faces after a while and everyone here is pretty nice :)
I love that Being Fit is so close to my house (really convenient) and that it’s affordable. The facilities are clean and yeah, there’s no pool or sauna or whatever, but nevertheless, it has everything I need. The only thing I wish was better was the hours, since they do close rather early on the weekends.

I have been a member here for about 2 years, the price is affordable, HOWEVER, you get what you pay for. When I initially signed up, there was plenty of floor room to do ab work, stretching, or free weights, now the staff has taken over most of the «free» space for personal training. They ONLY have 1 small room (for those of us that do not use a personal trainer) now to do ab work, stretching, or free weights. If someone else is using that room, you are pretty much SOL. Also, I have to constantly remind the staff to put out Kleenex. I love working out, but this gym leaves much to be desired. Once I start working full-​time again, I will definitely «lose this membership!»
FYI, my roommate tried the gym and said the gym was not large enough for the amount of people that were there!

I can’t believe it’s taken me so long to write a review for Being Fit!
I’ve been going here for almost a year now and I still love coming here! :)
When I first came in, I was interested in the Zumba classes and after trying it out (you can try a class out for free) I decided to sign up! $ 20/​month and no initiation fee, yes please!
You can attend as many classes as you want and I tried out a lot of them! The instructors for all the classes are great! Super friendly and motivating. They offer different classes at different times but you also can do your own exercises.
It’s definitely a lot smaller than the big gyms but I have never had difficulty finding a machine to run on or work out. Sometimes I might have to wait a few sets for something to open up but there’s always something else that I could do while waiting. They have all the cardio machines (treadmills, bikes, ellipticals), resistance machines, weight machines, mats, and exercise balls. They also have a separate room where the classes are but you can use them when there’s no class. I think the only thing that I would have a negative comment about is that sometimes people don’t wipe down their machines (they have a spray bottle and towel) after using so I always make sure to wipe before and after.
The staff is always friendly and with the membership I think you can get two free personal training sessions or sign up for regular personal training classes.
