What Lifters Say
I followed my exceptional trainer, Edna, from an east county gym to Grinder over a year ago. The gym has all of the equipment you need for all types of weightlifting and some specialty programs too, even cardio equipment. The gym is welcoming with a great owner, open early, and very spacious, both inside and outside. You won’t meet a kinder, more knowledgeable, humble, down-to-earth yet total beast mode trainer than Edna. Check out the gym, you won’t be disappointed!
Grinder Gym is the Mecca of the fitness scene in San Diego. Dave, the owner, is one of the most humble and genuine guys you’ll meet.
Cool place.
So much equipment. There is really just so much equipment.
Came out to see my brother who goes here and he invited me to work out with him. Really chill — Dave and Andrew were welcoming.
Love this place.
