What Lifters Say
Dave and the crew here are incredible! We came for a few arm wrestling matches and curl competitions. This gym has everything. One of the nicest gyms I’ve ever been to. Great community.
Grinder Gym is the Mecca of the fitness scene in San Diego. Dave, the owner, is one of the most humble and genuine guys you’ll meet.
Cool place.
So much equipment. There is really just so much equipment.
Came out to see my brother who goes here and he invited me to work out with him. Really chill — Dave and Andrew were welcoming.
Love this place.
