This Gym ROCKS!! After buying the Living Social deal, I took Body Rock, Whipped & Iron. Let me just say, after just 10 visits over the course of only a month, I have experienced awesome results!
Jen, the owner and Daniel really put me through my paces. I can't say enough about what a great experience this gym was to go to. Although at this time I cannot afford to go full time, I hope I have had not had my last class at Aire.
The trainers are motivating and very helpful. Even though it was in a group setting, they give plenty of personal attention to make sure you are doing every exercise correctly and getting the most out of the workout.
THANK YOU JEN!! -

All these 5 star reviews aren't lying...this place is amazing if you want to get in shape quickly and in a fun environment. The instructors are great and very friendly...I was a little intimidated by all the crazy contraptions in the downstairs part of the gym and bolted to the walls...but that went away quickly after the first class I attended.
The things bolted to the walls are the TRXs by the way...such a great piece of workout equipment!! And so versatile!
I have only been going to the lunch time classes (Surge, Whipped, Booty Burn, etc.) for about a week now. What is so great about this gym is the fact that each instructor has a different style, so you get to try a wide variety of exercises (and be sore in different spots after every class - thank goodness :) )
If you are burnt out on the standard "gym" environment or you just need some new motivation for your workout routine, come try this place out. Soon, you'll be coming back to leave a five star review too :) -

I looooove this gym. Hands down this is the best gym in San Diego for group classes. The classes keep you motivated and are challenging. The owner, Jen, is very friendly and welcoming. Small class sizes, great amenities, validated parking downtown and an overall great experience. Thank you Jen!

Aire Urban Fitness is an exceptional gym! I have been to Whipped and Body Rock - the names speak for themselves.
Jen & Danielle are amazing instructors, very positive, upbeat, inspiring and helpful. They switch up the workouts so after every session you are a little (or a lot) sore somewhere. Some people don't like this feeling - but I love it. If I'm sore after a work out, I know I'm doing something to improve my body. Even during group classes, the instructors give you one on one attention to make sure you are doing the exercise correctly and getting the full benefit. Jen will push you till it hurts!
The gym is very clean and has all the amenities. They also pay for parking for you while you are working out - big plus for a gym located downtown. -

This gym is awesome! Just so you know, I'm writing a review after buying the living social coupon for 10 classes...so keep that in mind. Otherwise, I would not be able to afford this gym since I am a full time grad student. However, the classes here are great, and the trainers are motivating. I also like how it is a small boutique style gym.
They also validate parking which is great! If I made more money, I would definitely get a membership here :) -

Aire Urban Fitness (Jen VanderSanden et al) has to be the best source of accurate form TRX training in SD county hands down. I used six different bootcamps for over a year and experienced faster results at Aire than all of them combined within 2 months. Jen, Daniel, AJ, Mike, & crew have a passion for what they do and take personal interest in their members and it shows in the results I feel. Didnt know what a core was until I got here. These people and this place are ABSOLUTELY AWESOME!

This place is so smartly designed & decorated, you would not believe it's in the basement! It's also SUPER clean which you have to love about a gym. Ladies, the locker room was fabulous and included complimentary towels and access to toiletries should you forget your own.
I went to the early morning kettlebell class with Dan. He is a great instructor and did very well managing the class despite the diversity of skill & fitness levels of the participants. Dan is awesome; enthusiastic, knowledgeable and fun. And, at 6 a.m. in the morning, that's saying a lot :) -

First off, LOVE this place!
Aire Urban is a great gym that has everything you need, plus it's super CLEAN. When you first start off they test your abilities, measure different parts of your body like your waist, arms, etc, and then figure out what your goal is. From there, I did a couple classes and trained with AJ. Let's just say this isn't your average workout. TRX and the Whipped class kicks my butt! I love it! AJ definitely helps keep you motivated and helps you perfect your position, stance, and overall body. I just ran the Carlsbad 1/2 marathon and definitely felt stronger than I have in previous races. Well worth it! If you haven't tried this place, I highly suggest it, or else your missing out! -

Went to Aire for a free Saturday workout and they blew my mind and kicked my butt! This place feels like a spa for people who love working out. The staff has amazing energy and they are great at motivating you to get the most out of your work out! With free parking, awesome workout facilities, showers & lockers & health bar, this place is truly one of a kind! For anyone who wants something different from the boring, unmotivated average gym atmosphere, this is the place to go! Trainer Keli is especially wonderful, and great at getting you motivated and feeling good about your workout! EVERYONE should at least give this place a TRY!

Amazing spa-like gym! This is not your average 24 hour Fitness. This is a gym for people that are truly serious about getting in the best physical shape as possible.
I went here yesterday for a FREE TRX class. This was my first time doing a TRX workout and OMG, I can barely move this morning. It was extremely challenging total body workout. Jen (the amazing owner), showed me the equipment before the class started so I wouldn't feel overwhelmed. The class size was small which was awesome because Jen was able to cheer me on. I have to admit that I had to take a break in the middle but Jen (and the rest of the class) was super sweet and patient!
Everyone that works there was super nice and introduced themselves to me and was giving words of encouragement.
I'm totally hooked! -

I am incredibly lazy. Most of the times I go in before work, I want to just take a nap on the Reformer... but Jen is an amazing trainer who manages to get me starting off the day right - talk about getting that energy boost in the morning!
I love the trainers (all of them!) and I love the space - great equipment and a great location downtown. Definitely check out their classes - they'll get you toned and hooked on working out in no time. -

Great instruction and personal attention. I have received more actual instruction and guidance in 3 weeks then I received at FIt in 2 years. Classes are challenging and varied.

Truly an unbelievable place to work out! Came over when my pilates instructor to the stars (Lisa Liles) switched over to Aire and thank the baby Jesus she did!!
Pilates of course is amazing! Their reformers and cadillacs are great and Lisa is amazing.
Trying my First week free and enjoying some of the classes they offer. Truly kicking my ass and they are such different workouts, its amazing.
Jen is a phenomenal motivator and in TRX she really pushes you to your max.
You know how you like to workout with pretty people...well there is tons of them. Really motivating.
ABSOLUTELY GO TO AIRE! -

Aire is a fantastic place to work out. I go and do personal training with Jennie and have definitely surpassed my fitness and aesthetic goals. Jennie created a tailored program from the needs and wants that I had - and I am VERY impressed: I get there and it's just one hour of following orders. After 4 weeks I noticed increased balance, coordination, and that's exactly what I needed/wanted - I've reached a body fat of 6.9% while increasing my overall strength and flexibility; most important for me is that the place isn't your "typical" gym - yes, fit included. Before joining any other gym, do yourself and try this gym out and get a workout with Jennie - you will not be disappointed.

Wow!! What a gorgeous facility. Walking into AIRE just makes me want to GET AFTER IT IN THE GYM!! All of the equipment is state of the art & all of the trainers are amazing. I like how it is underground too :) It is located right across the street from Se Hotel.
I worked out with Pete Kirchmer who has certifications in just about every type of exercise you can think of. Not only that, he is a certified life coach. So he will kick your a** in the gym, then plant mental seeds on how to improve your life & guide you to where you want to go financially & mentally. He is definitely one of the most talented & well informed people I know.
I am proud to say I will be working with him on a weekly basis! :)
AIRE is for personal training sessions or group classes. Check out their schedule & check out the personal trainers they have on board. I couldn't speak any higher about the facility or the people running it!
If you are interested in trying a new place to get you sweat on & interact with people who actually care about your personal growth, CHECK THIS PLACE OUT!Listed in: Get Your Sweat On!

I love this gym and am so glad my fellow Yelpers helped me discover it! I shouldn't even call it a gym because it's certainly not what you'll get at any 24 Hour Fitness or like establishment in San Diego. Instead what you'll get are extremely qualified trainers who lead a variety of different bootcamp like classes, incorporating different modalities like TRX, running up and down the 8 flights of stairs, moving a huge tire and basically acting like a little kid at recess. I've never experienced such a fun workout, the hour literally whizzes by. Prices are very reasonable, more so than Barry's which I used to go to but got bored with the classes. Love Jen and her studio!!

Aire is a really great workout with a variety of classes to choose from. The trainers give you individual attention because the group classes are small. The facility is cool and modern and very clean. Their attention to detail in the locker room is awesome.

My friend Charis one of the Lululemon managers recommended this gym to me. I've been searching for a gym like this for awhile. The trainers at this gym really WANT to help you reach your goals. I walked in to AIRE 2 weeks ago with an open mind and not sure what to expect. I've been training at fighting gym for over 4 years and was feeling like a change was in order to strengthen my body and take it to the next LEVEL. I also knew my posture could use some help and my strength has been neglected for a while. I'm training with Jen(the owner) doing Pilates/TRXsessions. The classes they offer also help to work on what I'm learning in my sessions. Jen is helping me build my strength and posture back so that I can push my body hard and build a "stronger and healthier me".
If your looking to work with professional, dedicated,experienced and a positive group...look no further than Aire. Thanks team Aire for giving me such a warm welcome! :) -

Aire is really great! I love the TRX classes for a change of pace to my workout. They have an awesome TRX circuit on Saturdays with Mike that will kick your butt! I started personal training with Daniel and have been ecstatic with the results so far! All the trainers at Aire go the extra mile to help you meet your goals.

I cannot say enough great things about this place. I went in for one of their free Saturday classes and I was hooked. It is a small place that immediately makes you feel like family. Normally I am not much of a gym person, but the owner Jen and trainers go out of their way to get to know you (I think they all called me by name after the first day)! I have been working with Keli in some 1:1 sessions and she has been awesome! She has been incredibly accommodating to my schedule (I work full time up in La Jolla) and she has taught me so much in a short time (I had never been on a TRX before). Keli is encouraging in a way that motivates me to reach my goals. They will take all of your measurements, do fitness tests, and get to know your level. Keli created a variety of workouts for me that were specifically for my goals and kept me moving and never bored! And she knows just how to pace and push me in the way that I need. All of the staff, Keli included, have a great energy and positive attitude that make you just want to hang out here. You can tell they really love what they do. They often have free Saturday things going on and sometimes even do social pub crawls and things downtown. Overall I have seen great results (I feel more toned and stronger) and I will be coming here for a long time to come! Highly recommended!

Just took a group fitness class there this weekend and absolutely loved it. Worked my entire body!!
We did the class outside at the SD convention center which was beautiful and the instructor was amazing!
Definitely going to go back this Saturday to take the class again and can't wait to try some of the other classes they offer! -

This is a classy gym with a ton of style. I love the fact that I don't need to wait in line to exercise and am not distracted by a ton of people in there. Aire has top notch trainers that pay close attention to your specific needs instead of giving you cookie cutter routines. I've had issues with my back in the past, so I appreciate that Daniel has created a routine that is repairing my back. I'm feeling the results and love it. You're part of a community at Aire, instead of just another number. I'd highly recommend checking it out.

I have been going here now for about 3 weeks and I am so impressed and happy with everything they have to offer. It is worth every penny and the amenities included such as towels, clean showers/lockers and free parking are just icing on the cake! They really offer the type of experience that you just can't get at a chain-type gym. The classes are small and you get one on one attention to make sure that you are maximizing your workout. I was very sore after the first two TRX classes, Sandra really kicked my butt! The spin/yoga combo class is also great. But I am feeling highly motivated and am excited at work, when I know that I have a class to go to that night. It's actually something to look forward to I promise! Plus the first week is free so you can give it a shot and see if it is for you.

What an amazing transition my body has felt since starting to work out at Aire fitness! When i first came to Aire I noticed i struggled when opening the glass door to the elevator. Immediately knew that I needed to do something about that. After knowing Daniel from 6 years ago when he trained my sister I decided to get some personal training classes to jump start my results. I knew I was in great hands with Daniel. Daniel analyzed my posture and form and then built a specific workout plan for my bodies needs. I then began the workouts with Daniel and AJ. AJ is great at motivating you to your farthest level. His training sessions have given my arms great definition and my posture has made a huge change for the better. I am no longer slumping over at my cubicle all day and my back problems have gotten better. I also started taking the TRX classes, Flex and Rock Star Skinny, with Jen at 7am. I am absolutely hooked! It is a great morning workout and Jen really pays attention to your form and makes sure you are doing the exercise correctly. When I take the group classes I feel like I am getting another personal training session with that much attention. I have noticed such a change in my body and strength from the combination of the two workouts. I am getting the definition in my muscles that I've always wanted to achieve and am getting a strong core. Thank you Aire for making such a difference on my health and fitness and I am so glad to find workouts that I will continue to enjoy and be challenged with.

These guys know their stuff. The owners and staff are all serious athletes, who really "get it". Intimate setting, super high-tech equipment, very bright and clean, an overall motivating atmosphere. I've taken their circuit, TRX and spin classes, which have all been fun and challenging. You will get results at AIRE!

I have been going to aire since it opened in July. I love the concept of a class only gym! It's perfect because I am getting my money's worth with every class I take instead of having a monthly membership where I am paying for days that I may not even use. I have to recommend the TRX class and also pilates on the reformer with Jen. She is a very attentive trainer and takes the time to show you the proper form needed to execute each exercise. TRX to me is a full body workout that incorporates core strength building as well as challenging different muscle groups that you would normally not work during a regular workout session. We may run stairs, jump rope or warm up on the treadmill, and then the TRX class begins! You can be a beginner and still be able to do the exercises. There are different modifications for each exercise which enable you to make your workout more or less challenging based on your experience. I get bored easily so I enjoy the everchanging workouts that TRX offers me. Some days we do a circuit training class and other days Jen incorporates lunges, squats,and weight lifting to intensify the class. It is a great workout and I never ever dread showing up for class because as tough as it is, it is fun! As for pilates, I take a class once a week because I feel that it is challenging in a different manner because it engages my core muscles but at the same time helps lean and lengthen my muscles throughout the whole workout. I am not very flexible but after doing pilates, my posture and flexibility have improved greatly. First time is free so I would definitely recommend trying at least one of the classes if not two!!!
