War House Gym — Attraction in San Diego

Outstanding gym — truly a cut above the rest.

Having trained at everything from big-box chains to smaller boutique gyms, I can confidently say this location stands out in every possible way. From day one, I’ve felt genuinely welcome — not just as a member, but as part of the community.

The facilities are spotless, cleaned daily, and clearly cared for. Every machine is well-maintained and functional; in my entire time here, I’ve only seen one machine down, and it was repaired the very next day. The layout is spacious, never overcrowded, and there’s always an alternate piece of equipment available — meaning you can train efficiently without waiting around.

The staff are exceptional — consistently friendly, professional, and approachable. There’s always someone ready with a smile or a quick conversation if you’re in the mood, but they’re equally respectful of those focused training sessions.

Special shoutout to Richard, who truly elevates the experience here. He’s the definition of what great gym staff should be — welcoming, knowledgeable, and always willing to go the extra mile. Whether it’s answering questions, offering form advice, or spotting a heavy set, Richard’s presence gives this gym its heartbeat. He’s one of those rare people who makes the environment better just by being there.

The amenities are top-notch — the fridge is always stocked with fresh drinks and snacks, and the shelves are filled with the supplements and gear you might need in a pinch.

All in all, this gym sets the standard. It’s clean, efficient, community-driven, and run by people who care. I honestly can’t recommend it highly enough, and I’ll have a hard time finding anywhere that measures up if I ever...

Not enough good things can be said about Warhouse Gym. What initially drew me in were the authentic gym vibes, dynamic lighting, and unique War Machine equipment, but what truly kept me coming back was the incredible community and atmosphere they’ve built.

From the moment you walk in, you’re welcomed by an outstanding staff who not only keep the gym spotless but also make you feel right at home. Special shoutout to Richard and Lexy for always going above and beyond. The owners, Atom and Mel, are as down-to-earth as they come, always making time to chat and catch up, no matter how busy they are. Their genuine care for the members goes far beyond just running a gym; they take the time to get to know everyone, celebrate their progress, and offer encouragement when needed. Whether it’s a quick conversation on the gym floor, sharing a laugh between sets, or giving training advice, they make every member feel valued and appreciated.

Warhouse caters to everyone, from newcomers to hardcore lifters. The equipment selection is second to none, offering unique War machines, a Posing room that allows you to take progress pics or get a quick flex, and the wellness patio that offer all your recovery needs from cold plunge, sauna, and compression sleeves Warhouse has it all. What truly sets Warhouse apart isn’t just the top-tier equipment or pristine environment. It’s the people. The energy here is contagious, creating a space built on support, encouragement, and relentless self-improvement. This isn’t just a gym; it’s a place to grow, push limits, and become part of something bigger...

I’ve lived all over the country and travelled all over the world and have seen every type of gym there is out there. This is my favorite gym I have ever been to.

The amount and variety of machines is top tier. The layout of the stations is intelligent and intuitive. They have tons of free weights, cable stations, your typical machines and even custom fabricated machines that you will not find anywhere else. (They even have QR codes that link to videos that show you how to use the custom machines).

They have snacks, waters/protein drinks/energy drinks, and even full on prepared meals you can easily purchase. Bathrooms and showers are always super clean.

This gym is friendly to all levels, from beginner to the most advanced lifters. I’ve found that the people in here know what they’re doing, have excellent etiquette, and are very friendly.

The price is extremely reasonable for what you get, and because it’s a private gym it’s never overcrowded.

I also love that it’s 24hours and there’s a plenty of parking on the street and surrounding area.

This gym makes you want to go. You want to kick your own ass. You want to pose in the posing room (something I’ve never done before here). You want to be better than you were the day before.

This is the gym you’ve been...
