This is the best gym in San Diego! I love working out here so much! The membership is super reasonable, especially considering the amount of classes offered! The space is beautiful with really cool artwork and there is always tons of easy/free parking all day. The equipment is top quality and is kept VERY clean. They use Wodify for scheduling classes, so that is super easy. Class sizes are never overcrowded, but enough size to make it fun! The gym has all the essentials with tons of variety, but what I love most is the use of barbells and kettlebells - nothing in my opinion beats a challenging squat workout! But the one thing that sets Locomotion apart from any other gym is the inclusivity. Trainers are so caring and the community is so welcoming to everyone! I wish I could be a new-comer here all the time because it was such a joy to join, learn fitness, and to meet so many new friends!

As someone who's *extremely* picky about gyms—yeah, I’m a bit of a snob—I’ve got to say, Locomotion Athletics is the holy grail of strength training group fitness. These workouts are no joke; they’re so thoughtfully designed that you’ll be wondering if they crawled into your brain to figure out exactly what you need. It’s that good.Now, let’s talk coaches. Every single one of them is top-notch, and they each bring their own flavor to the table. Whether they’re drilling down on your form, hyping you up with killer energy, or guiding you through that last brutal set, they know exactly how to get the best out of you without making you hate life (too much).The class sizes? Perfect. You get that sweet spot of individual attention without losing the buzz of a group class. And the people? Super nice—and let’s not forget, easy on the eyes. If you’re looking for a gym that’s as high-quality as your standards, Locomotion Athletics is where you need to be.

I started at Locomotion 18 months ago and was coming out of a long period of no gym, little exercise and poor diet. I was admittedly a bit nervous to get back into it, worried about what people might think or that I might not be strong enough. I can’t say enough how welcoming, knowledgeable and genuinely supportive the environment was that I walked into at Locomotion. Over the last year and a half I’ve learned about how to fuel my body (thanks Brita!), lift weights in a way that makes me strong but doesn’t break me down, and developed a community of wonderful people.James has created a truly unique and badass place that I’m glad to be a part of!

I cannot recommend this place highly enough! For years, I struggled to find a gym with a welcoming environment, coaches focused on education, and members with a sense of community. Locomotion gave me all of that and more. The gym is the perfect balance between group workout classes and individualized fitness instruction. James, Britta, Alex, and the rest of the Locomotion team are top notch. If you’re serious about your fitness, no matter how much experience you have, you won’t find better than Locomotion!

I love Locomotion! I've been attending classes here for almost 5 months now and have seen such an improvement in my energy, mobility, and strength. I've found James and all of the coaches to be incredibly encouraging and kind. They prioritize strength with overall wellbeing, and with their help I am starting to view fitness through a healthier and more wholistic lens. Whether in classes or during 1:1 private training, you will be supported in your goals. The clientele is awesome and the vibe is great- anyone from beginner to seasoned pro can do the programming together and we're often cheering each other on. I'm so glad my friend introduced me to this fit fam. You are loco if you don't try this place out!
