Chuze Fitness

I love this place! I have tried many gyms that were overpriced and looked too crowded with machines which was intimidating. Chuze fitness is VERY affordable which really makes my fitness goals attainable on a student budget. The staff is always really friendly and the atmosphere is relaxed. There are a good amount of machines and to a beginner like me, they do not look scary. The floors are well organized with a section for ellipticals, treadmills, and bikes, then there is a section of lifting weights and a section for the machines w/​weights (not too sure what to call those: P). All machines are accessible for the regular membership of 9.99/mo. By upgrading to the larger package at 19.99/mo, you can bring a guest, take classes for free, and use the hydromassage. I have the standard membership which is a good start for me as I mostly use the machines.

Great place to work out, staff is very courteous and professional. I highly recommend coming here to work out.

In love with my home gym. I did originally sign up at a different location, but luckily got the premium membership which allows me to go to any location.
What makes RB Chuze different from all other gyms I’ve been to is how personable the staff is and how pleasant all the members are. I was so hesitant when I first got back into it but Buck made me feel very knowledgeable as far as equipment goes. But it’s not just him, the rest of the staff is so patient when it comes to answering any questions (regardless of how repetitious mine have been) and they’re always so kind and happy. They also have a personal trainer by the name of Alex who I see on the daily and seems to know a lot when it comes to what your body needs most (personal observation as I haven’t talked to him yet).
It took me months to come out of my shell and actually utilize my premium membership but I finally convinced myself to do the CLASSES! And they are soooo much fun! They literally kick my butt every time, but it’s such a fun work out with the best instructors and the sweetest ladies to be surrounded by. Time literally flies when I’m at the gym and before I know it, a few hours have passed (that’s because of the classes and then continuing on with my own work out).
It’s honestly well worth it. There’s a lot to learn about yourself by hitting the gym consistently and RB Chuze is in a very convenient location that is right off the freeway and the team will probably be your biggest supporters when it comes to helping you reach your fitness goal.

Love this location! I come here twice a week (it’s close to my office) for yoga with Yoshi. Its my FAVORITE yoga sessions of the week. She is a great instructor and I always feel so relaxed when I leave! The staff here is always super energetic and nice! It’s also always really clean here and parking is never too bad. It can be a little crowded in the gym during peak hours but that’s normal!

Clean, convenient, helpful and never too busy. The price is right no matter how often I go.

I was a member at a different location a couple years ago and liked it. I suspect I will like this location in time. My wife and I took a tour on a Saturday afternoon. There was probably no more than 10 gym members at the time. The guy giving us the tour said we would very rarely ever see any more than that amount of people in the gym at any given time. Well, my first day there had at least 5 times that amount.
My biggest pet peeve of any gym is too many people. I guess it’s common sense that everyone and there mother wants to work out after work during the week… I should have assumed that would be the case here tool. I sorta did assume it, but taking into consideration what the Chuze guy said, I didn’t think it would be that bad. I walked in on Monday (10÷19÷15) at 4:30pm, walked half way into the gym and said f@ck this, then walked out. It was ridiculous. I felt like I was back at 24 hour fitness. I don’t know what the Chuze guy that gave us the tour was thinking when he told us how few people are there at any given time.
I’ll have to rearrange my schedule or something so I can get in there when it’s way less crowded, but this location’s hours are not that great.
I’ll jump back on here and update my review and rating after I figure things out and get in there.

I have tried many facilities and Chuze is the best !
Even tho this location isn’t the best for the lifters, the areas a what are you up too too small, they do have a very big cardio section and great classes to enjoy !

This gym is nice and clean and staff is super friendly. You can’t beat the rates. I love that they have an option to bring guests as well. I do wish they were open later but other than that this gym is worth checking out!

This gym is great if your a starving student or a beginner. Been a member since January 2014. The staff here is really nice and the facility is really clean. I like the fact that you can bring a guest if you have the premium membership and that they don’t have to sign a form with all their info and just have to sign in a sign in sheet with their name and my membership number. I always took my cousin in as my guest.
I used to work 12 hour shifts so I’d always come here right after work around 8pm. They have a decent amount of workout machines. Lots of cardio machines. I wish they had a couple more Stairmaster Stepmill machines and I wish they had the higher model because I have big feet and my feet always hang off the edge compared to other Stairmasters Stepmills I’ve been on. They have 2 but sometimes there are chicks just standing on the machine not doing anything but chatting with each other for 30 minutes or more before they actually start using the machine. I also wish the free weights rack had heavier weights. No squat rack, no free wifi, no free standing bar bench.
There’s plenty of parking at this location when I go. There are signs to not park in front of the food court which is to the right of the gym but I notice people park there anyways. There is also parking in the rear. I know there was a theft there in one of the lockers that I know of. You can still see which locker it was because the part where you hook your lock through is still cut.
I’d keep my membership if their hours closed a little later and if they added those things I listed above. Just keep in mind if your planning on cancelling. You have to cancel 10 days ahead of your billing date and you can’t do it over the phone. It says to fill out a from on the contract you signed to send my email, fax or in person but I don’t see anything online which we can download in pdf to fill out. I guess you have to request them to send the form over to sign it.

I’ve never been a huge fan of signing up for gym memberships, but after trying out the Chuze location in RB as my friend’s guest for a few weeks, I was hooked and had to sign up for my own membership! Which really is a no-​brainer, the membership is just so affordable ($ 10 for access to gym equipment, $ 20 for gym access, classes, hydro massage, tanning, and the ability to bring in a guest with you whenever you want).
This gym is immaculately clean, has all the machines that you would want/​need, and there’s really never a huge wait for anything, which is SO appreciated — I highly dislike going to a gym and having to spend the majority of my time waiting for a piece of equipment to free up.
The staff here is just awesome — Sam, Johnny, Josh, Kristine, Buck — super friendly, personable, and professional. Honestly, the whole team is great (as all the comments below mention) — I’ve never been a member of a gym that had better or more personable staff! You feel recognized and appreciated every time you walk in and out of the door. And, the whole place is so clean thanks to them, another aspect I highly appreciate (gross/​sweaty or outdated/​on-​the-​brink-​of-​breaking gym equipment is NOT awesome).
Lastly, the clientele of this gym are super considerate — I’m routinely asked if I’m done or if I’m going to use a piece of equipment, even if I’m just standing within the general area of it! Everyone is super respectful here, which can’t be said for all gyms.
Overall, great experience here and this gym knocks it out of the park in all aspects compared to all others I’ve signed up for in the past. Thank you, Chuze!! x

Great gym with even better people working there.
I have been working out for years from 24 Hour to small boutique places and I love the change of pace at Chuze. A huge selection of cardio machines, great selection of weight machines and cables, plenty of space for mini crossfit style workouts if that is your thing.
Alex the trainer has been a great person to talk with. I have never actually paid to workout with him and he still will give me pointers every now and then when I have questions on everything from form to stretching. Just a great personality to have around when you have questions.
The entire front desk staff is also very nice and helpful when you need them.
Pros: not crowded
they keep people off the phone in the workout area
helpful staff and even more helpful trainer
VERY clean
Cons: no squat rack, no wifi (both of these were never deal breaks for me but that is why no 5 stars)

Chuze in Rancho Bernardo is clean and never too crowded. I like using their circuit room during my lunch break for a quick workout. They have tanning beds and hydro massage rooms. Unfortunately I haven’t had the chance to use those. For $ 20 a month you can bring a guest every time you work out, group classes, tanning beds, hydro massage anytime. They have a cheaper price if you just want to go in there and work out.

I have been a member at this gym for sometime now. I am very satisfied with the service that they offer. It’s not as big as LA fitness or 24 hour fitness but they have all the necessary equipment one would need to use. The gym is always clean and smells good. The employees are very friendly and nice. Carlos, Christina, and the whole staff are amazing. Always smiling and greeting us when we come in. I don’t have a set time that I usually work out at but no matter the time I go in, it is never too crowded and I don’t wait to use machines. Would be nice for them to one day acquire more facilities with swimming pools.

I’ve been a member here for a little over a year, and as a college student, the price for a premium membership is very affordable! This gym isn’t as big as LA Fitness or 24, but it offers the essentials for a great workout! However, during busy parts of the day like the late afternoon, it is hard to use the equipment you want to use because of the amount of people that come in. Locks are required for the locker room. They keep the place very clean. I’ve never taken the group workout classes or used the tanning beds, but I’ve used their hydro massage beds at the end of every work out week. It’s a great way to relax your sore muscles!

Why can’t LA Fitness /​24 Fitness be like this!??
Great service, great gym, and great PRICE.
You can get the basic membership for $ 10/​month which gets you access to the gym. Honestly all gym memberships should be this price. This gym provides all of the basic gym equipment that you need. I wish they had more weights stuff and stairmasters but its usually pretty empty so there shouldn’t be a problem with sharing equipment.
If you get $ 20/​month, you can bring in a free guest ANY TIME you go! You also get access to the tanning booths and the hydospa massage. AMAZINGG.
Love this gym! I hope the business will expand further and hopefully they can afford to add more equipment!

This is now my home location for chuze fitness. If I may say they have outstanding customer service and always have clean restrooms. The whole gym is spotless! It is little smaller then the other locations I go to other days of the week I don’t work but it does not matter to me cause of the friendliness of the staff and the manager Buck who is very kind. I look forward to coming here 3 days out of the week and the other 2 times at the other location I can’t say the same.

This gym is really cute I love it. Tons of different machines that tell you exactly what your working out and how to use the machine properly. It’s really helpful! They have tvs and they even have tanning. The memberships are really cheap and it’s well worth it. I will recommend all friends to this gym.

I’m a member at the RB location and I frequent the Mission Valley location also.
Over all I am a happy customer. I come at off peak hours. But if you come during a peak hour, this place is packed to the point where there just isn’t enough benches or or equipment to do your routine.
Pros:
$ 19.99 membership allows you to bring a guest with you every time you come in for free, it also includes a tanning bed or a hydro-​massage option depending on which one you pick during your registration.
Clean facility — someone is always vacuuming or wiping down the equipment with a rag. Locker rooms are maintained nicely also.
Friendly employees
Lots of machines — I am more of a dumbbell, barbell kind of guy. But they have lots of machines for the newbies, so I’ll say that’s a pro.
TRX straps available
The resident trainer Alex is a cool dude, I’ve asked him random questions in passing about form and doing certain exercises and he is willing to give me 2 – 3 minutes of his time if he isn’t training someone.
Cons:
Lack of equipment — squat rack, T bar

Pushed myself this week and it worked. Ended up going 4 days straight. Today was my rest day. Those are important :)
I needed to get back into it. Since I moved back to San Diego, I went back to my old ways. I needed to get off my ass and hit the gym again. I renewed my membership last month and got the premium membership. The premium membership gives me all access to all the gyms, access to classes, and I have guest privileges.
I normally go to the Escondido gym so it was nice to try the Rancho Bernardo gym. It’s really nice. Much smaller than Escondido but still the same feel of a small clean gym. Been in the evenings and it isn’t that crowded. Did the full 30 minute circuit workout last night which felt great. It has a timer instead of a stoplight. I prefer the stoplight better since I kept looking at how much time I have left.
It’s a nice gym. I plan on going back and forth between gyms. Change of scenery is always good.

Not good experience.
This is why:
1. They have very limited equipment. Less than 3 machines for abs for example.
2. There are too many fees.
Start up fee– 29
Then a 3 month yearly fee of 40
Then if you want change plan it’s 10 fee to change.
3. And you can’t cancel your plan over phone.
Not good experience. I would recommend other gyms.
