GYM LOVE — Local services in South Lake Tahoe

I’ve been going here off and on for several years when I’m in town for the weekend.I really like the fact that they are open 24-7 as I like to work out early less crowded.This gym has everything you need for a good hard workout,or not so hard.Bathrooms are clean,out on the main floor equipment and floor is clean.Only issue I have is with the keyless entry at the door. The last time I went there, they had the buttons on the door where you would be sent a code in your email and you’d punch that code in and it would let you in. Now you have to download an app follow the steps hold your phone one to 2 feet away from the sensor and it will open the door. I don’t know what it is I have nothing but issues with trying to get that door open with the old system and now the new system. I went in yesterday, Saturday, August 23 during regular business hours paid the $25. The young lady there set me up told me what I had to do. I showed up this morning Sunday at around 4:30 AM and had a heck of a time trying to get in the door. I tried probably a half a dozen times and it finally opened. I don’t know if other people are having same issues or if it’s just me. this is still my go to Gym in South Tahoe I just really like it.if you’re an out of towner like me, you need a good workout place give this place...

Apogee Jiu Jitsu: Extremely welcoming environment for ALL! All skill levels, all body types, all humans. Grappling is a tough sport, and these guys and this environment they've created, make it a lot easier. I'm a small female, have been training a little over a year, and I've never felt anything but safe from the moment I first stepped on these mats 6 months ago. I know not every female grappler can say the same about gyms they've been to, which just goes to show how special this place is.

If it's your first class ever, a coach will take you aside and teach you the basics. It's a casual environment, so while there is a team connection, there's no weird rituals and anyone is welcome to roll. Out of town guests are always welcome and treated with utmost respect.

Questions are always welcome and encouraged, and if you don't want to roll, or something makes you uncomfortable, there's no pressure. They understand everyone is training for a different reason and have so much respect for that.

Drop in and check it out! You...

When you need big gym amenities with a family feel.

I'm absolutely enamored with this place. Flying in from Austin, Texas for the holidays, I was worried that I wouldn't be able to get my workouts in. Fitness centers rarely have guest passes that don't involve jumping through hoops to sign on for a year subscription.

Cue GYM LOVE: an adorable gym freshly born a few months ago that surprisingly had everything I needed to hit every muscle group. Free weights? Check. Machines? Yuhp. In the limited square footage between two floors, they even included a rock wall!

Signing up for a guest pass was the easiest experience I have ever had at a gym; Ashley and TJ at the front were really nice and made you feel special just for walking in. No pressure to sign up for anything extra, just positive vibes and awesome gains.

In sum, if you're in the area (or just visiting) make sure to give this place a visit, as you'll find a surprisingly robust package with warm staff in a chic venue. I wish they had a place like...
