Coronado Fitness Club

I've asked for my name to be removed from their mailing list for a couple years now but they still send me emails. If you don't want future spam, don't sign up for their club.

Coronado Fitness Club has a highly skilled and welcoming staff. They can deal with clients with all levels of fitness. I love bringing my grandchildren to the gym for workout sessions when they visit me.

Coronado Fitness Club is an amazing gym. Extremely professional and friendly staff. Facilities are meticulously maintained and constantly updated. CFC Exceeds all expectations! Highly recommend.

Absolutely NOTHING to complain about. This place has been a great place from the moment my daughter and I stepped in the front doors. The reception was warm and sincere. We were able to try out ALL the classes with our 10 day trial period. I have to say that the tipping point was after attending their spin class and meeting their instructor, DJ. DJ has a gift for creating community unlike I've ever experienced anywhere else. All the instructors come with their unique gifts and stellar training abilities. We love the community of the members and are happy to be a part of this place!!

They have plenty of areas to work out to meet every need, including what they call the cocoons (giving you a semi private area to work out).

Not to mention their inhouse Chiropractor and Fascia stretch therapist!

Again, nothing but raving reviews to say about the entire team and facilities!

I was visiting Coronado Island from LA and needed a gym to go to. My hotel recommended this gym. So, I eagerly tried it out.

The CFC is a terrific little gym. It has really good new equipment for the serious bodybuilder who wants to put on size, a great area for crossfitters and TRX-ers and for those wanting to do HIIT workouts or aerobics or even yoga with a huge wall full of weights and equipment for the workout, including yoga blocks!! It also has great machines for cardio and for lighter workouts. They have all the important stuff in a small, but still spacious, clean, well organized space.

The staff is the best part of this gym! Very friendly, helpful, willing to go out of their way. And the trainers are knowledgeable and charismatic and fun to work with. I had a hard, good training session with Ruben, a trainer there. He really kicked my asteroids with an amazing bodybuilding program!! He's encouraging and super motivating and good with his craft. He put together a perfect program of exercises catered just for me, asking ahead of time about my injuries and limitations and what I wanted to focus on. I'm telling you all, if you want the best trainer on the West Coast, make your sessions with him, especially if your goal is to put on serious muscle. And also if you want an inspiring guy who lives and looks the part himself, and is just fun to train with!!

The classes are amazing, and I love the fact that they have a variety of classes and times. Also the staff is very knowledgeable and friendly. Not to mention the gym is super clean and the vibe is great for all ages.

Let me preface this...
I'm here on Coronado Island on vacation...visiting some family who is working here.
I've been a "gym rat" for over 5 years now I know what proper gym etiquette is as I've lost over 150lbs going to the gym everyday....I have never been treated so poorly by the staff of a gym as I was yesterday....Before this incident happened at the Coronado Fitness Club, I would have gladly given them a 5 star review though I normally don't write reviews good or bad....I paid $85 for a 1 week membership, very expensive but worth it to me and was ready to pay for a second week as I really enjoyed this gym....the staff and other members have been friendly and engaging....
Yesterday I ran 10 miles(I have pics to prove it) in just under 74 minutes...nonstop... on an elliptical machine....I SWEAT ALOT...and when I was done running, I throughly cleaned the machine, I wiped down all surfaces and I even cleaned the floor around the machine because I do sweat profusely...think puddle......I had a couple people..members/customers... congratulate me on a job well done...tell me that I was good inspiration/motivation for them...I shared my journey of weight loss with them while walking around the gym cooling down, I have a towel, I'm wiping my legs, shorts, my head doing my best to dry off, though I do know that I am completely soaked in sweat...even my shoes are soggy...this lasted 10 min or so....just as I'm walking out the door to walk back to my daughter's apartment... an employee, in a very LOUD voice from across the room, demands that I mop the floor of the gym...tells another employee to get up and get me a mop, which she jumped right up...she went to the back somewhere came back and handed me a mop....
Being someone who was once almost 500lbs, I know what public shaming is, I know what it's like to be ignored, I know how heartless, mean and cruel people can be...until you walk in my shoes, those of you who have never had a weight problem will never understand what I was feeling....and now here I am... feeling publicly shamed, embarrassed and humiliated in front of the employees and other paying members/customers of this gym....I quickly ran around the mop, with everyone staring at me, feeling totally humiliated/embarrassed and then quickly exited the building to head home.....Let me also say there were 2 employees lounging around in the front office, so there was not a lack of staff there....I do not expect this business to cater to me. What I do expect is common courtesy and respect....as I said this business has 100% 5 star reviews....I am not one who writes reviews... I am not one to cause hate and discontent either, so I reached out to the owner who was just to busy to talk to me...I talked with a manager, Adam...I explained the situation....he agreed with me that this situation should have been handled better by their employees....I didn't want anyone chastised or fired...I didn't want my money back...I actually wanted to pay for my second week...I just wanted them to be aware of what happened, maybe speak to tbe employees...be a little more discreet..... because I don't think customers should be subjected to this....Do they yell at you at McDonald's, do they hand you a mop if you spill your Big Mac meal on the floor....????
5 minutes after talking with Adam...he calls me back...he said he spoke with the owner Gary, they are refunding my money and kicking me out of the gym.....so now for a 2nd time I am publicly shamed as I had to go back to that gym and collect my $85....
The Coronado Fitness Club seriously ruined my vacation....

Coronado Fitness is not only the best fitness center it has all the equipment and amazing classes for my needs. But what stands out at Coronado fitness is Chris and his team as soon as I enter the door I am greeted with smiles and positive vibes and a go get Em tiger that gives me such a boost to my workouts!

It pains me to leave only two stars for any establishment, however two stars might be even a little on the generous side here. The downstairs free weight area (where approximately 80% of the equipment is located) is constantly blasting music at a truly ridiculous volume. Even through top of the line noise cancelling AirPods, the music is absolutely overwhelming, and the staff will only turn it down about 10% for 10-15 minutes at a time. Overall, this is an extremely unwelcoming/hostile environment, catering an unknown (maybe deaf?) demographic.

I have lifted here 16 days this summer. As an old school ex body builder I find this gyn has just enough equipment to get a great beach pump workout. Always very clean. Chris the owner is frequently present and cares about this facility and the members. The trainers working with a client or at the front desk are friendly and helpful, and actually know how to give me a spot correctly!
I always look forward to starting my lift,run,swim routine here at the crack of dawn.
