What Lifters Say
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.
I have had a few bad experiences with fitness classes and gym trainers in recent years. This gym is very nice, clean in my experience, and the trainers are very nice.
