Chuze Fitness, Chula Vista CA

I love coming to this gym, done a lot of healing and thank God it's close by and the Staff are great!

Went in for a free week pass. They have a lot of equipment and outdoor area is nice, but only went in once. It was pretty packed but honestly my biggest gripe was the staff. They were kinda douchey haha. Good gym for what you pay and good amenities but I'll pass on a membership here

Evenings/nights are extremely packed
But if you are a morning person you’ll enjoy the gym and the machines without having to be waiting for them ️

As a prior general manager for another fitness studio, I can say that this Chuze location has it together. The facility is beautiful, ALWAYS clean, friendly staff who always look out for you and even really friendly / chill members. The place is also big enough to make it not seem so packed. Plenty of room between the indoor / outdoor area to stretch and have your own "area" for people who prefer to do their own functional equipment / body weight workouts/stretches.
Smells decent too. Nothing is worse than having a gym smell like wrestling match cauliflower ear fungus while you do pushups on the floor. Just saying.

Love this gym. Great atmosphere. Love the options; way better than Planet Fitness. The only bad thing is the sauna/ steam areas; members don't follow the rules of the time limit. Also on the circuit right training area (where it's timed) members DO NOT KNOW HOW TO READ. Even when the instructions say, FOR CIRCUIT TRAINING ONLY, members come in use a random machine, stay on it for like 5 minutes and then leave. It's really frustrating.

My brother and I have been coming to this gym for about two years now and the staff has always been friendly! Thank you to the two employees who helped us out with our flat tire right before the gym closed! You guys are awesome! I believe one of the guys name was David and I didn’t catch his other co-workers name, sorry!

WARNING!

(Public Health Threat)

I deeply appreciate this Gym and their facilities have served me greatly over the years, but they do not have a fragrance free policy. And considering the data that is available today surrounding the toxicity of "artificial fragrances", I feel guided to bring awareness to this.

The fragrance industry governs themselves and is greenlighting the use of chemicals that are already BANNED, RESTRICTED or deemed HAZARDOUS by many reputable authoritative bodies and government agencies around the world. Therefore, the the use of ANY product with the word "fragrance" in its list of ingredients is not only irresponsible and unpleasant to many, but also well documented as being harmful to our health.

The average artificially scented product, be it lotion, hand sanitizer or laundry detergent, contains 100-300 synthetic compounds to create that fragrance. This is known as a CHEMICAL COCKTAIL. You and your family are unknowingly breathing and putting these chemicals on your skin everyday while going out to eat, going shopping, at the gym and at home.

The unregulated use of artificial fragrances in homes and public spaces has reached the level of being a "Public Health Threat", similar to what happened with cigarette smoke 20 years ago. Chuze Fitness exists for one reason, to be in service to the well-being of the community. And by allowing clients to be exposed to definitively toxic chemical fumes, especially while exercising, they are directly not standing up for the well-being of the community. I just recently had my gym membership canceled from throwing away air fresheners that they had put around the toilets in the bathroom. I get a headache within minutes of being exposed to strong chemical fragrances like air fresheners and I was taking care of myself to make sure I could use the bathroom without getting sick. I brought this up and they were not willing to make an adjustment for my health, which I completely understand. It's a big change to make. Exercise at your own risk and please educate yourself about the toxicity and side effects of artificial fragrances.

This is not just bothersome or simply a personal preference, products containing "fragrance", such as household laundry and cleaning supplies, are now being classified by many health agencies as the NEW SECOND HAND SMOKE. Businesses and individuals will not be able to ignore this for much longer. The world is discovering just how harmful and unnecessary these chemical fragrances are. Many work places are already being forced to become aware of this rising issue from the plethora of health conditions people are developing due to exposure to artificially scented products. Health issues related to fragrance include, exema, asthma, migraines, ADHD, autism, hormonal disorders, birth defects, depression, autoimmune disorders.etc.

I truly hope that Chuze Fitness makes this adjustment and implements a policy that regulates this. It is worth it. And for all individuals not yet aware of this phenomenon, please switch to unscented laundry, personal hygiene and cleaning supplies at home as soon as possible. The health of you and your family could be at risk if you use artificially scented products.

This is not about right and wrong, it is about awareness and choice.and community. I know I am not a victim, and I do not blame anyone or hold grudges. I know we are all doing our best. It is very rare for me to speak out over a societal issue like fragrance, but I feel this is worth it. I am simply standing up for the heaven on earth I believe in. We all deserve to be healthy and breathe fresh air. My sincere gratitude for anyone who decides to contribute to a fragrance free world.

Always too packed.updating my review to reply to Chuzes reply.

I have been a member since the location opened. I used the facilities often and you had the best hours of operation. My only gym time pre-covid lockdowns was 3am, and since the normal hours haven't been reinstated back, it has made coming to the gym difficult. More time is needed at the gym since there are more people waiting to use machines. More time that I can't spare having a full time job and being a single fulltime mom. So Chuze that's why my original comment is always too packed. Some of us just don't have that extra time needed to wait on machines or the saunas. You guys have clean facilities and that's great, but having to wait more time now than previously had before just kinda sucks.

Love it. I went to yoga today as a guest of a member and really enjoyed the atmosphere, class and teacher. The woman at the reception desk was friendly and helpful.

Overall pretty good gym lots of options in equipment and wheigths, some equipment and lockers need maintenance.

I love Chuze Chula Vista! Bathroom smells good & front desk very friendly. My favorite are massage chairs & bed! I like the fact members wipe machines after use. The only thing the steam room smells a little musty. Maybe spray a little Eucalyptus in the corners will give steam room a spa experience!

Crowded facility. Waiting forever to get a machine. Also the hiring manager Kelsey D is rude. My spouse had an interview scheduled. Kelsey had her waiting for over an hour even though my wife was on time. Interview never happened. Now won’t respond to emails nor phone calls. Completely ghosted. Unprofessional as heck.

I’ve been coming to this gym since the COVID restrictions lifted and I really like it. I’ve met a lot of good people, especially the employees. Jovaan was the first one I started talking to on a regular basis and he’s given so much encouragement and advice. He’s friendly to everyone and always handles himself in a professional and calmly manner and answers any questions I have in a way that I understand. Thank you ChuzeFitness
