Ultimate Fitness Center

my 5 plus star review is for my instructor Anna, i started zumba with her on saturday’s mornings, I started class and instructor was really friendly and greeted everyone with a smile and a good welcome, very well shown and very well with timing, i love the way she combines zumba dance with weights, class is very well instructed music on point, now remember i did travel from santee just to take the zumba classes, now iam a chula vista resident and i will not change these classes at all. Thank You for your fun attitude and glad im your Student,

I have to start off by saying that I love this place. I’ve been coming here on and off for about 8 years. Most of the people here are serious about working out and conscientious of one another. The reason that I am doing this review is to point out one of the staff members. They are all truly great but Anna Guzman seems to always be really happy to be at work. When you walk in she is there to greet you with a big smile and words of encouragement. Makes you feel welcome and motivates you to have a great work out. I would recommend this gym to anyone who is serious about working out. I will continue to be a loyal patron of this place!

This gym offers some excellent classes and I have had the privilege to attend Anna Guzman-Arechiga’s Zumba class and I just have to say that this class is the best one I have attended by far! Anna is very professional and she makes everyone welcome and feel good for whatever level they are at. I refer all my friends to her and this gym! Way to go Anna!

I love this gym! The main reason: the staff. Anna, Benny, & Sergio are so genuine and personable. They treat everyone like family and always make you feel welcomed. I especially adore Anna because she was the first one to come up to me and make an effort to get to know me. Plus, she always has a smile on her face! Not only that, her Zumba class is so much fun! She incorporates a little bit of everything: Latin, hip-​hop, disco, and weight training. You get a full body workout from just one of her Zumba classes. I definitely recommend checking it out. And if Zumba isn’t for you, Benny and Sergio teach Core Specific classes which will have your abs burning and crying the next day. All in all, this gym is a hidden gem :)

Really love it here so far. I’m currently still a member at Crunch Plaza Bonita but it’s just getting incredibly packed. Parking is also a bitch because of it being at a shopping mall (and currently the holiday season)
This gym has a ton of equipment and its spacious considering the low amount of people in there at one time. I honestly do not mind the old equipment. Would rather be able to breathe because of less people around. It feels nice rarely having to wait for a bench!
Just started here so I hope this is a place to stay at.
I just wish their hours ran a little later. Saturday until 7pm fine but Sunday until 3pm… :/

Walking thru the door is always the hardest part! Once thru the doors, I already knew that I would feel comfortable here! No attitude, low key, low pricing, super friendly with everything I was looking for. I went in for some personal training to get me ready for a fitness test, Houston was super helpful, open minded, and listened to what I needed in order for me to pass my test! He has been pushing me in the direction I needed, building my confidence each visit!
The facilities are great, it has everything from free weights to machines… and to top it off, they have a lap pool! They offer free classes everyday and a Boot Camp on Sat. mornings.
There is also a Chiropractor/​Acupuncture facility right on site, and you receive a discount with your membership!
$ 60 initiation fee and $ 15/month…NO CONTRACT… Cant beat it!
Thank you Houston and Ultimate Fitness for making that first step an easy one!

I recently moved to Chula Vista and was looking for a gym that was closer to my home. I wasn’t really expecting much when I walked into Ultimate Fitness Center but it has turned it way better than I expected.
This gym is equipped with everything you need to get a good workout. Granted, most of the equipment is pretty old school, but hey, we’re here to workout. As long as the equipment works, I don’t care if it’s from the last century.
They have three squat racks, three bench presses, tons of machines, treadmills, bikes, punching bags, lifting stations, swimming pool, pretty much anything you can think of for a standard gym.
On top of that, their pricing is incredibly low as well. I had to pay a $ 60 initiation fee which was good up until my next payment. It then turns to $ 15 a month with no contract! That’s about the price of Costco’s 24 Hour Fitness 2-​year plan, minus dealing with the 24 Hour crowds.
The only bad thing about the gym is that when they have Zumba classes upstairs, Salsa music is blasted at 9,000+ decibels throughout the gym. :(

Great customer service, very affordable. Core Specific class is awesome. Great enviorenment for working out. Benny helps you do the exercises properly.

Great gym and very affordable. They have extra open space to workout. For those that train out of the coventional. The staff is great and very helpful!

Great Gym!!! All the weighs you need and a great staff that is always willing to help with your workout. on site vitamin store

The most important thing to mention is how affordable everything is. I also love the neighborhood feel of it. I’ve been coming to this gym for about 3 years and I totally recommend it. I don’t ever feel pressured by the staff but they’re always there to answer any question I have. I’ve lost 45 pounds since I started coming and now I’m receiving personal training from Houston, whose helping me get into the best shape of my life.

Awesome Gym!!! Love the that leave some space open for those who train unconventionally. Houston and Benny are some cool people and excellent trainers. Highly recommend this gym.

Been coming here for a few years and its thr Place to be & to work out. Not over packed and has a out door pool !!

I recently moved and didn’t want to drive a mission to my gym. I needed to find a closer gym so I wouldn’t have any excuses. I found ultimate fitness online and went in to check it out. I signed up with Benny and he was really nice. It is an older gym but has everything you need plus a pool. I signed up for a great price and low sign up fee. I been going here ever since. I love zumba and don’t need to come an hour before start time to get a spot. Everyone also here is very nice and actually come to work out! I’m really glad I switched gyms.

Before, I would go to LA Fitness but it was starting to take a toll on me for the monthly payments. I’ve also tried out the local YMCA but it’s still pricey for me and crowded so I decided to try UFC. It’s not so bad of a gym. It’s so easy to jump from one equipment to the next without having to wait for it. I have so far lost a few pounds by working out here for the past few weeks. The enrollment few is $ 60, which is more than the YMCA but cheaper than LA Fitness, but the monthly payments, $ 25, is a bargain.
I would give the gym 5 stars but there can still be improvements to the gym, such as is the equipment and the amount of group classes. The equipment is safe to use (they let us know if otherwise) and they help get the job done. It’s just they are outdated compared to LA Fitness and the YMCA. There are also not as many group classes as I would like. The only classes that are appealing to me are Zumba, core training and Kung Fu, which are already half the classes that is available to us. It would be great if they could add Pilates, yoga, barre, etc.

Great customer service, genuine, legit (corporate-​free) Zumba and Core Specific classes free with your membership! (can’t beat that!)
I used to pay $ 30/​mo just for the Zumba classes! I’m. so happy I found this local gym!

I’ve been going to this gym for about half a year now, since May 2011, and I’ve loved every moment of it. The workers are very approachable & friendly. Even the people that goes to this gym are generally friendly. I’ve never had a horrible experience here, somewhat. To summarize the size, I would say it’s about 4 – 5 basketball courts, not counting the second floor for the classes they offer. I believe most of the class they offer is FREE with the membership. I’ve never taken them myself since I’m autodidact. They almost have all the equipment I need besides rock climbing, I guess. There’s no courts. There’s a section for weightlifting, cardio machines, free weight cardio. Locker rooms are alright or bad. Some of the lockers are broken & some of them require for you to have a lock. That can be easily fixed since they have plenty of cubby holes near the entrance of the gym. The showers? Well, let me mention that I had one bad experience. I saw a live cockroach in the showers right before I jumped in. It didn’t phase me much. Killed it & threw it away, but I did mention it to the worker there. It was not a pleasant experience, regardless. That’s probably the only reason why I’m giving it a 4-​star. If you live around the area or work nearby? I would recommend this gym. Btw, I paid $ 300 for a year & a half membership.
Did I mention that they have a pool?

I’m actually giving this place 4.5 stars. I’ve been an active member since May of 2009 and a got a great deal for an 18-​month plan under $ 250. Round about $ 13 a month.
If you decide to go with a month to month then its about $ 25 a month and it is cheaper than other gyms out here. I won’t drop any names.
The only reason why I never signed up with any other gyms is because I don’t like big gyms with alot of people. This gym is a great size, spacious but not too big, great equipment, a swimming pool, an upstairs for special workout out classes, small area for MMA training and it’s diverse with friendly and outgoing people.
I usually go at night when there isn’t hardly anybody there. It has its rush hours between the afternoon but that’s normal for a gym. I know for a fact the people and environment isn’t like any other gym out there. Everybody gets along very well.
The staff is small but they’re great people who are there to help you.
My only complain is that they close at 11pm Mon-​Thur, 10pm on Fridays and 7pm on the weekends. If they could extend an extra hour on the weekdays and about two or three hours on the weekends that would be AWESOME.
Overall, it’s a great gym and I Plan on being a member until I transfer to another school.
