California’s health culture is strong in gay San Diego. From the focus on farm-fresh produce to active lifestyles, the locals keep active in the city by surfing, hiking, biking, and of course, lifting at the gym. Hillcrest has the most gay-friendly gyms to maintain your workout regimen while visiting the city, as well as a few spas to treat yourself to a pamper session.
24 Hour Fitness Hillcrest attracts the largest gay clientele in the city: there’s so much eye candy here, it can be hard to focus on your own routine! The gym is busy but contains everything avid lifters need, from powerlifting set-ups, cardio equipment, and group classes.
A great option for travelers looking for something new is Barry’s Bootcamp in Hillcrest, which offers day passes for hour-long instructed high-intensity training workouts by Instagram-famous fitness models. The classes are no walk in the park, but the high energy music and instruction will get you through it!
