Stern's Gym Inc

I was in town for a few days for the ACSM conference and I found this gym thankfully,as it was a great experience! Lonnie is the nicest dude and the vibe is classic '70s bodybuilding. He even went out of his way to get me a custom printed sweatshirt since they were out of stock when I had asked if they had any. If you're in the San Diego area, definitely make it a priority to visit this gym!

Stern’s gym is a Mecca for any gym enthusiast to visit. Legends from Arnold Schwarzenegger to Chris Bumstead have trained here. This place had an amazing atmosphere, kind staff, and quality equipment that you won’t find elsewhere. The management was nice enough to give me and my cousins a day pass since we were visiting from out of town. Even as an out-of-state visitor, I’m definitely going to get my workouts here every time I visit my family in San Diego. I definitely recommend grabbing a hat or shirt since this place has cool gym merch. Pictured below is me (with my new Stern’s shirt) and Mr. Loynie Brown!

I’ve visited Sterns three separate occasions. First time I purchased a day pass ($17), second time I was with a member and used a free pass and bought a $30 shirt, and today I was turned away with attitude and made to feel like a bad person. I attempted to use another pass my buddy had but I was told that I was not allowed to use this as I’ve been in before (doesn’t say that rule anywhere, otherwise I wouldn’t have tried it). My buddy also apologized and wasn’t aware of this. We were both ready to lift on 300mg of caffeine. To be honest if the attendant hadn’t treated me like I was trying to steal meals from the homeless I would’ve gladly paid for a day pass since I was already there, but you gotta draw the line somewhere.

Lonnie is super laid back. I asked for a three day pass and he charged me for only two. Old school equipment and great service. Five stars from me would give six if possible....
