What Lifters Say
“Thanks for the hospitality while I was in San Diego, Dave! I have visited Gyms all over the world for 40 years. Grinder is among the top power/strength gyms you can find! Dr. Joe”
“What a find. First- the owner is awesome. Chatted me up each morning I came. Place has a very unique indoor-outdoor layout. No shortage of equipment. When I told my friends about it, I described it as “Epic.” Ton of dumbbells, benches. Place is spotless clean and organized. I’m a frequent visitor to San Diego and this will now be my gym of choice when in town.”
“Grinder Gym is the best gym in San Diego and around the world. If you want to try yourself in strongman, arm wrestling or powerlifting – this place is created for you! Come and try yourself, we are all like a huge family here, we will always help and advise you!”
“Great gym experience, came from out of town and dropped in. Dave was a great help to me and getting adjusted and answered all of my questions. All of the members were friendly and made my workout 10x better. Next time I’m in the area will be training here for more than a day.”
“Incredible strength gym! Fully stocked with everything you could ever need and more. Amazing place to train if you’re a strength athlete or just someone looking to get stronger. Dave the owner is a great guy and probably the most knowledgeable person I’ve ever met when it comes to lifting, nutrition and conditioning.”
“I’ve been to a lot of gyms around the country (and world), and I think this may be my all time favorite! It’s the perfect combination of hardcore and old school but has every possible machine you could ever want. The combination of the indoor/outdoor atmosphere can’t be beat!!”
