AquaVie Fitness + Wellness Club, San Diego CA

Read the negative reviews before you purchase their expensive membership. I wish I did. You will see many complaints about this company's lack of maintenance in the building and this recent storm is a consequence to everyone. They are closed until further notice and it's absolutely ridiculous. They opened one of the rooms with mirrors but it's might as well still be closed because you can't access the gym or locker rooms. It's pretty clear that the priorities of this particular gym are all out of order. They will collect high membership fees and neglect their responsibilities. Very unfortunate I was hoping I found a nice gym to add to my routine but it was a waste of time and money.

Joining AquaVie and working with my trainer, Bader, was the best decision I made in 2023! The gym and amenities are high-quality and a wide variety (I love the swimming pool!), the staff are super helpful and friendly, and the atmosphere is motivating. The highlight for me was working with Bader - he helped me lose over 60lbs in about 6-7 months, improve my health and diet, and helped me get into the best shape of my life in a way that is sustainable. Bader is without a doubt the best trainer ever! Highly recommend!

Amazing health center. The difference I feel when I walk into Aquavie versus leaving is unbeatable. It truly changed the quality of my life & I am incredibly thankful for the facility, managers & staff

Met Ashley and Joseph at the front desk and they were super friendly and professional. I am visiting from out of town but this may be one of the nicest gyms I have ever been to. Modern machines. Super clean. Everything you need. If I lived here I would be a member in a second.

Exceptional staff, friendly clientele. What beats rooftap laps post-sauna/steam with a view?

Beautiful Gym! On the rooftop with all the San Diego Sunshine! Great lap pool and hot tub. Inviting lounge chairs and large outdoor workout equipment. Everyone was so gracious and attentive, especially Shelley the Membership Enrollment Manager. She was very kind and asked if I had special needs and what do I really enjoy doing for my workouts. The swim instructor was also very informative, saying his classes are geared to those folks' needs who attend his classes. They even provide Q-tips - so need those after a good swim!

All the Best to all the staff and members, someday soon.
Que Sera Sera

Booked a massage through travel zoo. The facility was nice and clean. I had Josh for my massage therapist for my 50 min massage. He was terrific. He was very professional and adjusted the massage to work on my problem areas. He also suggested some stretches to help loosen up my muscles. The travel zoo coupon also came with a glass of sparkling wine and use of the facilities: hot tub, pool and saunas. The whole experience was lovely, highly recommended.

Best massage ever! Josh is a true massage therapist and is super respectful…my highest recommendations!

I LOVE AQUAVIE! It is incredible.the equipment is new, the space is very bright and expansive, and I've never waited for a machine. The locker rooms are incredibly clean and upscale, with tons of amenities - big steam room, dry sauna, cold plunge in the locker room, good bath products. Free towel service, robes, and shower sandals.

The small fee for laundry makes it easier for me to pop in to work out knowing I'll always have clean clothes there.

The rooftop is killer with a jacuzzi, pool for lane swimming AND relaxing, full-size track for outdoor runners/walkers, stationary bikes, row machines, and weight racks. Certain classes are on the roof or in the pool too! Lots of lounge chairs with all-day sun but also umbrellas. There's poolside room service and members get 20% discount on hotel food and beverage and treatments in the actual hotel spa (massage, facial, blah blah). There's often live music in the hotel lobby and I chill there with my laptop.

It's a really inclusive space, ego-free, and congenial environment. I don't feel like I need to arrive young and chiseled. I can show up how I am and improve one day at a time. Great community!

Parking is quick with valet (so embarrassingly bougie to say, but it helps remove a barrier so I go more!) and not frightening as downtown parking can be, especially on Padres game days.

Most importantly, the staff might actually be the best part of the gym. They are friendly and accommodating and just really wonderful. From Shelly the manager and the front desk team like Tim and Joseph to the locker room attendants, everyone is amazing. There are cool group classes with GREAT instructors like Tag and Angelina, all of whom are talented and really kind!

Every time I am at AquaVie I feel so grateful and at home. Check it out! You can get a really comprehensive tour and try it out for a day! Truly, my only hesitance to promote AquaVie is that I don't want it to get so overly packed that it feels like a rat race with no access to machines lol.but really I want everyone to have access to a great holistic fitness and wellness community like AquaVie offers!

Josh gave me a best deep tissue massage I have ever had in my life. He was super professional and very kind. Definitely recommend!

What a lovely treat! I received a gift card here from friends for a massage & included was the opportunity to use the amenities. The booking was seamless, my therapist, Josh, was amazing - very knowledgeable, kind & saved my shoulders! Loved the rooftop & wish they had places like this in LA. Will definitely return!

I just called on their phone number to get more information about their gym. One guy picked up, and I told him that I'm interested in getting their gym membership. He didn't say hello or anything, he said "it's $200 a month". I also asked if they have a steaming sauna. He said "yes" and hung up. Best service ever.

Got a three day pass while here on vacation and definitely will be back! Great staff, gym, pool, etc.

Always a great experience getting a massage here. From the additional use of the gym and pool to the robes. Great experience all around. The massage therapist even gave me a book with some fun info on the city.

Hands down, AquaVie is the best gym in San Diego, with super high-quality group classes, amazing trainers, and the amenities make you feel like you're going on vacation everyday. What really got me to stick with it are the group classes. Jessica Caruso was one of the first trainers for the classes I had, and her energy, knowlege, and ability to teach so many different types of classes is amazing! As much as I love ALL the instructors at AquaVie, Jess's spin core, HIIT, and pilates flow (Also taught by the AMAZING Allie) are my favorite classes, and I'm lowkey sad when she has to have a sub. It doesn't matter if it's 6: 30 a.m. - she's going to have you laughing, put you in a good mood, and push you harder than you think you can go. She has been such a blessing over the past two years I have been with AquaVie. I've also lost 40 lbs!

I've been a member at Aquavie since mid 2020 and have seen all the changes since Covid as it continues to get better and they add more classes! I love all of Jessica's classes especially BARRE! I'm almost always just a tad sore - knowing I've had a great workout. I've also done personal training with Jess which was amazing, she does an excellent job of helping with your goals and curates exercises to fit your needs. I'm also a huge fan of working by the pool when the weather is nice! It's such a beautiful place to hang!

Amazing spa, fitness area and sauna! Pristinely clean with amazing views. My massage was honestly the best of my life. My masseuse Josh was knowledgeable and caring. Still feeing the benefits a few days later!

The best gym in San Diego! There is a great variety of work out and cardio equipment. Including 2 peloton bikes. There is a rooftop lap pool, hot tub and weightlifting area. They also have a lot of different classes you get free with your membership. From yoga, spin, barre, Hitt, Zumba, master swim and more. And they have some of the best instructors in fitness that you could find. Jess, Sharon, Tag, Elyssa, Joseph, Karina, Nia, Allie or Dominic…they will all give you the best workout or stretch you could get at any other much more expensive studio. A+

I’ve only been a member for a couple of months. So far it seems great. Clean and friendly. I love Dominic’s classes!

This has to be the best kept secret in downtown San Diego. I’m hesitant to post this for that reason. Everyone loves being there. The amenities are incredible and the people who bring it to life know what they’re talking about. If you have gym goals, Ramon, Saul, Eddie, Tim, Christine, Jess; they all know how to get you there without overdoing it, and if you have wellness goals, Veljko, Shelly, Kenia, the whole team; they are experts in active recovery and create an atmosphere that is both relaxing and energetic at the same time. AquaVie makes it easy to invest in yourself, and enjoy the rest. So there you go, I wish someone had told me sooner. Thank you AquaVie!
