UFC FIT Point Loma — Local services in San Diego

Every health club I have ever gone into is the same. I go in and ask how much it costs. Then they give me a clipboard and ask me to give them my personal information. Then they tell me to wait and someone will help me. Then I am directed to sit down next to some jerky salesperson while he tries to give me a big jerky sales pitch and get me to sign up for a bunch of stuff I do not want. And part of the whole idea is that after he is my friend and offers me a water and discusses my fitness goals, I will feel like I am being rude if I do not sign a long contract with a lot of classes. It will be like I am hurting his feelings after he was so friendly to me. And no one wants to be rude, right? I mean he was so nice to me and we are friends now. They like to make me feel trapped. They hope I will not want to be rude and just walk out while they sit there and try to work on me. They basically treat me like I am stupid. Health clubs make millions treating people this way and they are even trained to do this. And they sit there practicing all day and get better at it all the time. That is exactly what happened to me in this place. I recommend that you just stay away from this place. You can go into any health club and you can just watch people getting sold on things they never would have wanted all day long. That is why there is a special law in California allowing people so many days to cancel a health club contract. The word got back to the California State legislature. It was so obvious they even passed a law to help the victims of these predators. To me it is nothing short of offensive. These individuals are hunting for big game. They want to turn a free pass or a short trial into a contract for thousands of dollars. That is what they get commission for doing. Stay away...

I have been a member since Spring of 2022, and I use the gym primarily for their jiu jitsu program. Here is my honest review.

As for the actual quality of classes and professors, I can't complain. The three professors are all black belts with excellent lineages, and phenomenal teachers.

HOWEVER, the gym management leaves much to be desired. The mat room where we have our classes has a split in the mats that someone just put some duct tape over. I've cut my foot on it while training before. They purchased mats for the walls, which have gone uncovered for over a year. However, when they finally installed the mats, they installed them incorrectly. Further, the mats cover about less than half of the wall space.

The management also treats the jiu jitsu program like the gym's red headed step child, despite the fact that jiu jitsu classes cost extra. Outside of class hours, anyone has access to the mat room -- we have caught people in there with shoes on, and if we don't clean the mats ourselves before class, they would never get cleaned which is a hygiene nightmare.

People from other gyms come and train in our mat room -- which is fine and all except that they threatened one of our professors while he was teaching a private. Some of them clean the mats after training, some don't.

We have multiple people in the last year who competed and medaled at IBJJF and Jiu Jitsu World League tournamounts. You'd think the gym would promote that heavily, right? Nope, crickets. But a themed zumba class? Prime time on social media.

If you're looking for a place to lift, do cardio, and be a meathead, I'm sure it's fine. If you're looking to train actual martial arts, don't let the name fool you. There are...

It's fine. I showed up tonight at 8:00 supposed to be open till 10:00. It's closed. This is the second time in 6 weeks it's happened. It's super frustrating when I'm expecting to work out but find a closed gym. Saturdays are insane and impossible no matter what time of the day you come. All the machines are taken, and regardless of gender, people have no clothes on or the smallest possible clothes they can find. I'm sure that's fine for some people, it's not my preference to have men in speedos and women in shorts with their labia out doing squats beside my face. I don't want to see it... it's a public space. The air conditioning doesn't seem to work, so it's very hot, stinky and uncomfortable when it's hot outside. I've gone into the group fitness room to find people practicing and recording their salsa routine, complete with the outfits and high heels. Again, location is good, it's clean , and the price is fine. You can make it work Sunday through Friday, just don't expect them to be open the hours they say they're open. Today a trainer brought two clients he was training to work out at the squat rack right beside me. He asked me if he could take a weight. He and the others then proceed to take any and all of the weights from the rack i am actively using. I then have to ask the people on the rack beside me to borrow theirs. They were lifting light enough and the gym wasn't very busy... they could have used free weights in a different part of the gym, but instead chose to disrupt my workout. I felt crowded, disregarded and disrespected. I haven't even seen a gym-goer with this much of a lack of etiquette. I keep trying to find a gym where people have etiquette. It...
