Endless dumbbells (3 full sets up to 150 lbs) and weight systems, fair price, super nice owner (Dave), and a fair price. Count me in.

Love this gym! Joined up late February for a 6 week challenge with a friend and we've both never looked back. Great coaches, great support and great folks who keep me wanting to come back. I've made a lifestyle change and feel great. You won't regret it.

Power lift, cross fit, classes, grip strength, strong man workouts this gym has everything. Dave is always bringing in new and different equipment to try out. No selfie thots or posing douche bags.

I was visiting from out of state and wanted to find a gym where deadlifting, etc. is not frowned upon. Grinders gym was awesome. I liked working out in the open air with my teenage son. Great selection of equipment and free weights. I would definitely re-visit next time I am in town. I gave 4 stars instead of 5 because the price to work out for the day was way too high in my opinion - $15 for a one day pass. Liked the atmosphere overall - great people.

I've been to many gyms in San Diego and this is by far the best. The possibilities are endless at grinder gym. They even have arm wrestling tables. Can you think of any other gyms in our local area that have that?

What can I say. I've been coming to this gym for going on 8 years now. The training is top notch. The location is freaking awesome. Do some curls outside with the mural of Arnold watching over you, the local 24 hour will never seem the same again. The classes are excellent, and the friendships I've made here will last a lifetime. Can not give this place a higher recommendation, as it's already at the very tip top of the list. Come in for a class and see what it's all about for yourself.

Love this place! The trainers are amazing and offer tons of support and encouragement on your fitness journey. The workouts are tough but rewarding and produce amazing results quickly if you commit to it! I've been going to Grinder about 3 months and have achieved better results in that time than I have in years at other gyms. Get off your ass and go Grind!

The best gym I've been to stateside with an awesome owner whose very personable and enjoys running his gym. There's plenty of iron and no wait like other gyms when trying to get your lift on, as it's never over crowded. If you want a real gym without the hassle and crowds this is it.

Enough can not be said about culture Dave DePew has created at Grinder Gym. It is a place that exists as both a safe haven and a sanctuary of beautiful pain! The community environment here is like no other. From day 1, you will find some of the most embracing members who are there to work, and to uplift those around. The workouts here are a challenge from beginning to end, but you will be pushed and encouraged to find your strength and work through your limits. The trainers are amazing, creating a family atmosphere where everyone succeeds.
If you are looking for a place to take your fitness to another level, and create a lifestyle that will change the way you feel every second in every area of your life, Grinder Gym is the place. "Hit it!"

If you want results, this is the place. I've trained at a lot of gyms during my powerlifting career and I'll say this -- you may find bigger, shinier, fancier places out there, but you will not find the knowledge, expertise and experience elsewhere, period. You won't find that clubhouse feel elsewhere in San Diego, period. Dave DePew is one of the most respected trainers in southern California for a reason. When I walked into this gym on day one, it was Dave who greeted me, Dave who signed me up, and it's Dave who chats with me each and every time I go in about what I'm doing, where I'm headed with my goals, and how to achieve them faster. I've been coaching athletes for a long time and ran a competitive powerlifting team. I am a Level 2 CrossFit trainer, certified in powerlifting, strongman and olympic weightlifting by various organizations including USA Weightlifting and USPA. Dave takes me to school on my knowledge regularly. If you enter this gym with a goal and an open mind, you'll get all the help you need and most likely walk away with your goals and others checked off your list, and more goals to keep working on.
Grinder's staff is great as well -- these guys are handpicked by the man himself, so they meet and exceed Dave's high standards. The energy in the group classes is through the roof. As I said, I've been in a lot of gyms -- CF gyms especially, and have not seen camaraderie like Grinder has anywhere else.
Whether you're into group fitness, weight loss, arm wrestling, bodybuilding, powerlifting, strongman, or just a good place to go put some work in, you won't find better than Grinder.
