The Gym El Cajon

Cleanest gym I’ve ever been to. During busy hours usually gyms are crowded and all the machines are taken, but The Gym El Cajon always has something to do either with free weight or body weight equipment. Literally they are serious about being serious. The vibe has everybody actually working out than hogging machines or on their phones. The staff is amazing, helpful and very informative.

For the longest time i boycotted gyms like the plague mainly out of fear of judgement, looking stupid trying to use the equipment and unintentionally comparing myself to others ( had some bad experiences at other places ). Finally with some convincing words from close friends I took the chance, 1. The community is amazing everyone helping each other out whether its motivation or showing how equipment works without issues or belittling anyone. 2. The staff is honestly the coolest bunch peeps I've ever met in the fitness environment, if they aren't getting their pump on along side you or with you, they are maintaining the place. 3. Cleanliness is 10/10, everytime i go in it looks and smells clean along with appearing well kept. 4. The membership and its process is ( in my opinion) well understood and very well explained. I highly recommend this place to get your gainz on whether you a beginner or a pro there is something in there for everyone. Also it is very fun to be surprised and see some legends make an appearance. Below is a photo of me meeting to legends who were rivals back in the late 90s. This was during The Gyms 1 year anniversary. Simply amazing

Excellent gym with a clean environment and modern equipment. The staff is supportive and the trainers are helpful and motivating. It’s a comfortable place to work out, with a positive atmosphere. Great for building strength and staying fit. I’m very satisfied and would recommend it to others.

Easily one of the best gyms in Southern California, especially for the price. The equipment is clean/solid, the plates give you that old-school iron feel, and the machine variety is crazy! This place is spotless, the snacks and drinks are clutch, and the community is super welcoming. Everyone’s serious about their fitness and life goals. Front desk looks intimidating at first, but they’re genuinely great people. My only “complaint” is the drive I make to get here… but it’s 100% worth it. Once they expand, it’s going to be the best gym in SoCal, no question. Highly recommend!

Staff Really helpful and kind. Good pricing on the basic membership, which has everything you need. But the posing room is not available unless you pay 3xs the basic membership. As any bodybuilder knows we all struggle unless you are in the top 20 of the bodybuilding world 🌎 my advice is someone with a pro card should be able to use the posing room.
