Share

Looking for a gym you can enjoy with the whole family? Try Fit Athletic Club, 12171 World Trade Drive in Carmel Mountain Ranch.

“We like to consider ourselves like a country club,” said Chad Shaw, general manager of Fit Athletic Club. “We have a pool, tennis courts, full-blown health club and we’re working out a deal with the Carmel Mountain Ranch Country Club to allowed our customers to have golf memberships as well.”

Fit Athletic Club has been in Carmel Mountain Ranch since January 2014. This is one of three locations it has in San Diego, along with downtown San Diego and Solana Beach. There is also the flagship location in Houston, Texas.

The club offers everything from state-of-the-art equipment, to group classes, to personal training and to make everything more convenient, child care, which ranges from basic child care while you work out to a kids club, where kids can spend up to three hours a day doing fun activities like swimming lessons, tennis lessons, kids yoga and pilates. “We incorporate family life,” said Shaw. “Come for a few hours, drop off the kids, and let them enjoy themselves while you work out.”

Shaw said one of the things that sets Fit Athletic Club apart from other gyms is the club’s social aspect. “We’re known for our pool parties for members,” said Shaw. “We have free food, alcohol, a DJ, entertainment for the kids. We like to get members together.”

On Sundays, Shaw said the club has one dollar hot dogs and free beer at the pool for members, which they can enjoy while the kids participate in group swimming lessons.

“We try to give (our customers) everything they want,” said Shaw.

Customers can also enjoy state-of-the-art workout equipment in the 22,000 square-foot club, which is full-service, including shampoo and conditioner provided in the showers, as well as towel service.

If you’re looking for something more structured, Fit Athletic Club offers about 90 classes a week, including spin classes, boot camp, weight training, yoga, pilates and barre classes.

Fit Athletic Club also keeps a high standard of quality for its employees. “We have highly qualified trainers,” said Shaw. “They have to have a minimum of one year of training, and two national certifications.” The club employs trainers that specialize in all ends of the training spectrum, including weight loss, weight gain, flexibility and more.

Fit Athletic Club is open from 5 a.m. to 10 p.m. Monday through Thursday, 5 a.m. to 9 p.m. Friday and 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. Saturday and Sunday.
