Landform Fitness

Fantastic experience: I've been working out for nearly 15 years and have belonged to many gyms during that time. Landform is certainly my favorite of all of them. I had never felt compelled to do personal training before, but the programs at Landform are so well constructed and the trainers are so informed and genuine, I did personal training for an entire year. I have never been more confident in my form and never felt so welcomed and comfortable in a gym space. They are constantly adding new equipment, but the space never feels crowded. I strongly recommend it!

Fantastic experience: Great owner and friendly trainers that know what they are talking about. Space is used well with lots of racks. And a 3 legged dog, which is reason enough to stop by!

Fantastic experience: They are friendly, clean ,welcoming great place to work out

Fantastic experience: This gym has just about everything you need to get a good workout. Very clean and the equipment is top quality. I enjoy my workouts there.

Fantastic experience: Great gym, highly recommend! Very friendly and welcoming environment. Great place if you are looking for personal trainer or group classes. Steven is more than a personal trainer, he works on improving your mobility and adjusting the workouts to fit your lifestyle.

Fantastic experience: Seriously, the best gym! I moved a couple of times but will drive to this place because it’s my favorite gym. Not too crowded, everyone is friendly, not too big & has everything you need.

Fantastic experience: So I joined this small family gym because I was in a toxic relationship that body shamed me heavily. I hated my body and I was always uncomfortable. Landform changed that around for me for the better part of the year. The relaxed no pressure atmosphere is fantastic and this place being open 24 hours to members meant I could always get a quick workout and keep consistent! The staff is extremely helpful and can answer any questions on equipment I was too shy or nervous to use. I lost 56lbs and counting. Although that was never really enough for my ex partner it's helped my body get back to normal and made me feel good again. I've since moved and and really sad I won't be able to come here anymore. But if you live near college area please don't sleep on this place!!

Fantastic experience: Nice gym and friendly staff. Has everything you need for a wide variety of exercises and is open 24hrs a day for late night workouts. Plus there's a gym dog! It is a little small so it can get crowded, but that's any gym.

Fantastic experience: Great private gym with new equipment! Love that they’re open 24/7

Fantastic experience: Great place, very clean and spacious. Love the equipment

Fantastic experience: Great environment whenever I come to workout, the energy of everyone there really makes it a great place to workout. I enjoy when I come to workout because the lighting, the equipment and everything else really makes this a one stop shop for my fitness.

Fantastic experience: I didn't think I'd want to go to a gym, but a friend had been going to a workout class at Landform for awhile and invited me to join him. The trainer and everyone in the class made me feel comfortable immediately. The groups are small so you get whatever personalized attention you need, and the gym never feels too crowded. I like the atmosphere - no pretentions, just people working on their fitness at different levels and a wide age group.

Fantastic experience: Great medium size gym that never closes! 24/7 access. The bathrooms are actually really nice and clean. There's a shower too. Super friendly staff Located right near Chuy's Taco Shop on El Cajon Blvd and Montezuma Blvd where they merge together. Personal training, massages, and physical therapy are also provided by licensed professionals in their respective fields.

Fantastic experience: Best place to accomplish your fitness goals! Be it weight loss, getting a better squat or just wanting a group to be accountable to, Landform has it all. Their small group fitness classes are a nice mix of strength training, core work and personal attention. Their personal trainers are funny, focused, talented and will always help you out. Think you can't afford them? Imagine how you'll feel a month from now, fitting into your clothes, sleeping better and smiling at yourself in the mirror? :)

Fantastic experience: Great gym and atmosphere. It has plenty of barbells, a number of power racks, sleds, ropes, etc. The owner is great and keeps the place clean.

Fantastic experience: Friendly, non-threatening atmosphere with highly qualified staff.

Fantastic experience: Landform has been absolutely invaluable to my fitness Journey! The classes are an amazing resource, instructors like Steven, Aaron, and Devin walk you through each movement, ensuring that your foundation is solid! Steve’s nutrition consulting has also been life changing, I used to under eat and now I know better! Cannot recommend this gym enough!

Fantastic experience: Love this gym, great staff and open 24hours. Been training with Jose for about a month, he’s really helped my form, corrected balance issues and laid out a workout and diet routine for me. Already noticed increases in strength, definition and energy. Would absolutely recommend Jose as a trainer and the gym in general.

Fantastic experience: Great gym, convenient location with parking, amazingly helpful, knowledgeable and friendly staff, inviting atmosphere... and Stumps, the resident workout pal dog! :)

Fantastic experience: I cannot say enough about Landform Fitness. I checked out this place looking for strength training classes in small groups. Trainers individually lead a class of no more than six, modeling and supporting you along the way with each set. This is a place where anyone and everyone can feel comfortable working out at their own level. All the trainers are friendly, kind, caring and helpful. I especially love how Tracy makes each class fun and pushes me to do my best, but will modify the exercises to meet my needs when necessary. I highly recommend Landform Fitness!

Fantastic experience: Landform Fitness is a great gym with a friendly community. Each personal training session with Tracy, I am pushed to work out another muscle I didn’t know I had. I used to be so hesitant to exercise, but I find Landform to be highly motivating. Tracy has been great at helping me go to the next level with my fitness! He tailors my workouts to maximize the pump I’m seeking and pushes me to do more. I am reaching my fitness goals quickly with the motivation of the staff and fellow Landformers! I highly recommend Landform Fitness.

Fantastic experience: **LOVE THIS GYM!!** I recently retired from active duty (as in the case of many, with lingering injuries) and was searching for an intimate place to work out. A good friend recommended Landform Fitness because of the group training sessions (offered free to veterans). It has been over six months since I joined, and I could not be happier with my progress. I initially went for the free group sessions but have enjoyed coming here so much that I signed up for the standard membership! Steven and his staff have blown me away with their professionalism, knowledge, and approachability (special thanks to Aaron, Tracy, & Devin). As many here have stated, they take the time to explain and demonstrate the proper form for each exercise and provide alternate workouts to accommodate those with mobility issues. The primary focus is on the science of working out, and exercise programs are tailored accordingly. They also offer one-on-one evaluations to help target specific problem areas as needed. Tracking your workout progress is a breeze with the TrueCoach app, a tool employed at the gym. The app is updated weekly with new workout schedules. Also, it displays short exercise demos you can refer to in the rare event a staff member isn't immediately available to assist. The gym is intimate (which I prefer) with plenty of equipment to share. The staff and regular gym members are friendly, which helps maintain a sense of community. If 24hr Fitness is the Walmart of gyms, Landform Fitness is the dependable bodega around the corner with an owner that knows your name and you look forward to visiting after a long day at work. I want to keep this gym a secret, but Steven and his staff deserve a 5-star rating for their work to make the client experience outstanding!

Fantastic experience: This is an amazing gym. Landform offers: -Organized Strength and Conditioning classes from early AM to late into the evening. With no more than 6 people per class. -A 24 hours availability to a gym where anyone can come to get a world class workout using their free weights, power lifting racks, kettle bells, sleds, machines, and 20 yards of turf. -Trainers there is very Respectfully and knowledgeable. No gym is perfect but if any gym deserves a 5 star review then they do.

Fantastic experience: I was very hesitant when my 17 year old daughter wanted her and I to start going to Landform. Once we completed our first visit with Steven, there was no pressure to sign up. Only realistic fitness programs to achieve fitness goals. My daughter and and I have been paired up with a personal trainer, Melissa Corona and words cannot express how much she has opened my eyes to how strong my body is. Melissa is not only encouraging and motivating. She is respectful of my fitness goals a personal challenges that I am over coming along this journey. I would have failed at any other gym. I highly recommend Landform Fitness to everyone. Any age, shape or size. You are always made to feel welcome and that you belong when you arrive. Melissa is a fitness queen!!!

Fantastic experience: Aaron was outstanding and took the time to work with me and adapt to my needs. The gym is clean with high quality equipment but the team of trainers is the real attraction. Knowledgeable and friendly. It is an added joy to be greeted by the owner’s lovable dog.

Fantastic experience: I discovered Landformfitness in late January. Its open, airy, intimate and most importantly… clean! The owner and coaches are spectacular, know what they’re doing and make it a point to get to know you by name. Aaron is my main coach and can’t say enough good things about him and his coaching style. He is energetic, fun and motivating makes the workouts go by quickly. I take classes 5x a week and also signed up for personal training. If you’re a veteran classes are 100% free through the heroes movement program! If you live in the area come by for a free workout… you won’t regret it!

Fantastic experience: I love this gym because everyone is friendly and helpful. The trainers are knowledgeable and they offer great small group classes. The workouts are very good. I started going to another gym because I moved away from the area but I returned to Landform fitness because it's awesome!!!

Fantastic experience: This gym is awesome! The staff is knowledgable, and will help you meet a variety of fitness goals. I'd recommend personal training with Steven! The community is friendly, there is the right amount of equipment and racks and it's clean. For the most part, I'm always able to do my exercises without having to wait.

Fantastic experience: Landform Fitness and Jose have been so good to me since June of 2019. For years I tried the “gym thing”, ok, I can do this... not‼️ Yes, I’ll workout today…not‼️ Yes, I can do this! 1, 2, 3,….. oh I’m tired, where’s the steam room?? Accountability is the key. Only after deciding to hire a trainer from Steven at Landform, was i able to make it work! That was June 2019. Now, I workout almost every other day! Since July 2021 Jose has been my trainer! Sure I had some good results from Landforms other two trainers, but Jose works me, works me hard!! He doesn’t buy into my babble; my complaining , talking about my kids, my day, or how tired I am! It’s just a ploy for me to make more rest time!! We’ve all done it! Lol Jose keeps me on “the clock” and my results are amazing‼️ Haven’t lost much weight, but he tells me “It’s because you are gaining muscle”. My stomach has never been so small and tight. My mobility has greatly improved! My chest, shoulders, and arms are amazing and my legs are growing... I’ll trade fat for muscle any day!! LOL Jose is the fourth trainer I’ve had in my life. Definitely the best with the greatest results!! He’s an amazing intuitive guy and knows just how much to push! “It hurts, so good!!”

Fantastic experience: Positive: Professionalism Such a great experience with both trainers at that facility. They really help me focus on proper form to avoid potential knee injures. They make the workouts challenging and maintain a fun and friendly environment.

Fantastic experience: I've known the owner of this business, Steve for about the last five years. He was my personal trainer prior to opening Landform Fitness. I was one of the charter members of the gym, and I am very happy with the service that I receive there and highly recommend them. If you're looking for a great gym, this is the place for you. Great personal trainers and very attentive staff, clean facility. Highly recommend.

Fantastic experience: I’ve worked with TJ for a couple of months and am very pleased with the sessions. He’s knowledgeable, friendly, and just pushy enough so that I totally feel I’ve gotten a great workout. Highly recommend him as well as the great gym he works out of.

Fantastic experience: Landform fitness is amazing! I trained for two months with Melanie, and she is a fantastic trainer. We did nutrition and hour-long sessions. She made detailed meal plans for me and worked to meet with me around my busy schedule. The instructors constantly check in with you during the classes and sessions to make sure that you aren’t being pushed too hard, but they also make sure you’re getting some work done. The instructors and Steven, the owner, really care about the well-being of their clients. The staff at Landform are a really fantastic and genuine group of people that are more than willing to help anyone get started with their health journey. Please check them out!

Fantastic experience: Support your local small businesses! Such a great smaller gym. Definitely more of a "Everyday Joe" style gym vs. "Globo gym". It's currently what I would call "semi-private" with all-day secured access. Staff is friendly, knowledgeable, and always happy to be there to help the members get the most of their membership. Trainers are always making micro adjustments to planned training sessions to maximize your performance based on those ever changing and unexpected factors so you always feel accomplished at the end of the session. They really know how to explain not only the 'how' of an exercise as well as the 'WHY' they've included it in your workout plan. Masks and hand sanitizer are available during this pandemic should you need any. Rarely is there more than 3 people working out at any time I've been, so plenty of space to socially distance. Cleaning products are really available to re-sanitize your equipment when done using it keep things ready for the next use. The owner/mascot Stumps always runs up, tail wagging, to greet you when he's on the job and occasionally does rounds, (politely) demanding pets from anyone in between sets, to make sure everything is in order. Feeling slightly under inspired to get your heart rate up? He's there to encourage you with a friendly face and some tug-of-war. Considering the QUALITY of access, training, and classes available compared to Globo Gyms, the monthly membership is VERY reasonable! Unlimited gym access, member discounts on massages, available mobility, movement, and yoga classes. Massages and classes are available to schedule thru the Mindbody app to simplify the booking and additional fee (if applicable) process.

Fantastic experience: Only 3 weeks in and feel great! Steven is a great guy full of advice you should take! He makes you feel welcome, comfortable, and excited to make a change! Reccomend wholeheartedly!

Fantastic experience: Landform Fitness is a great facility! While it is a small gym, it's quiet, private, with updated equipment, effective trainers, and for me offers more than the larger than life gyms. Because I prefer early morning training, Steven set me up with one of his best trainers, Allen Palmer, who has turned out to be the best. So good in fact, that I signed up a friend who is also benefiting from his effective training. I have been training 3 times a week since October and have great results in upper body strength, legs, and abs! For a young guy like me who is knocking on 70's door, I'm in the best shape I've been in years due to Allen's ability to effectively address my concerns for better health and strength. I have a lot more energy and look forward to the training sessions. Landform Fitness is highly recommended either for personal training or classes. The cost is very reasonable; it's like paying for a Cadillac but getting a Rolls Royce or better yet, a Maserati. :) Got for it; you'll be glad you did!

Fantastic experience: Steven Land is an exceptional personal trainer. I hired Steven to help get me out of a slump and back to my fit self. I highly recommend Steven Land and Landform Fitness to help you reach your goals. Steven is FOCUSED: Trainers that I’ve worked with in the past have been guilty of projecting their own values onto their clients. There is no ego with Steven. He listens and tailors his exercises to meet my needs and goals. Steven asks QUESTIONS: I have never felt lectured to, in fact, Steven lets me do the talking. He gives me the opportunity share what is working and what is not, so he is better informed as to what he could do differently next time to make a better decision in helping me reach my goals. Steven EDUCATES me: He explains things like anatomy, proper form and exercise selection as time goes on. After nearly three months I am in the best shape I’ve ever been and look more muscular and fit. Do yourself a favor and HIRE Steven Land. No regrets!

Fantastic experience: Such an amazing environment with very educated, skilled, genuine, loving trainers. Not only do they guide you through different workouts everyday, but most importantly, they focus 100% of their attention on each individuals' form. They stress the importance of this (which I and many others are very unaware of) for the sustainability of your health. Soooo helpful, very comfortable environment, & huge results in such a short amount of time!!! The community of people who work out there is also so amazing, like a second family to me :) Hope to be back soon. Thank you Landform luvvvv u guys

Fantastic experience: I love how Steven took the time to explain the proper way to do an exercise. I have a better understanding of how my body works and I get less injuries than when I work out by myself. Great exercises, a safe environment and a great value! Thank you Steven for helping me reach my fitness goals!

Fantastic experience: 9 months ago, I was that guy who could not get motivated to work out. A friend of my was talking about his experience with Steven Land and how much he has helped him, so I decided to meet him and see what all the fuss was about. Steven has changed my mind about fitness. Steven has been nothing but kind and patient while still pushing me to be and do better. He is super serious about form and function, stretching is huge with him. All three of the trainers that I have had the pleasure of working with at Landform Fitness are fantastic and attentive to form. Having someone show me how to do it right has given me the confidence to keep working out. Life-changing.

Fantastic experience: Steven is an awesome personal trainer who focuses on making sure you are doing each exercise with the right form and inspires you to be your best self. He is patient and adds fun to each of his session. I was fortunate to have had him as my trainer when he used to live in San Francisco and happy to have made a great friend in the process. Sad that he left SF for San Diego. If you are looking for someone who will motivate you to achieve your goals, feel healthier and stronger without hurting yourself and have a good friend on your side on the fitness journey, then he is your go-to guy.

Fantastic experience: You ever tell a friend that if they saw you running, they should run as well? Yep... well... that's me! I've never truly exercised because I would hurt too much. I would twist things, pop joints out of place, and just be a general mess. I figured it just wasn't for me. Physical therapists would watch me for a few visits, but the things I did hurt - so I didn't keep up with it. Not sore, but actual pain. I've seen eighteen (18) medical professionals over the course of ten (10) years and, in one session, Steven spotted fundamental issues that had slipped through the cracks. Since he explained everything to me thoroughly - I now know what I need to work on in my everyday movement. Steven is teaching me how to relearn my movements with incredible detail. I'm talking about learning to sit, stand, and walk better... how to make myself stronger. Prior to starting, he made me, a non-gym-going person, do some activities to assess what I needed help with. I wasn't intimidated at all. What a relief! He was phenomenal and modified several exercises for my limited strength after so many years spent incapacitated, lying in bed, and hunched over with pain. When it came to my various autoimmune, nervous system, and hypermobility issues - all of it was taken into consideration without me feeling embarrassed. My pain levels have dropped immensely. I especially love that I can do the exercises he's taught me, so far, almost anywhere. I wasn't interested in reaching aesthetic body goals - just moving better to reduce pain. By correcting my movements, I was able to noticeably reduce my embarrassing bra bulge and define abs that I never knew I could have!! WHAAAT!?!?!!!! If you have any physical or health-related goals, I'm confident that you can't go wrong by scheduling some one-on-one time with Steven.

Fantastic experience: I’ve been going to landform fitness for about two and a half months now and I absolutely love it. Every trainer there is so experienced, kind, patient and confident in you that you give your all every time and even go past limits that you thought you couldn’t. The workouts always feel different when they change them every three weeks so you get some time to perfect your form in each workout without staying in the same routine for to long. I cannot recommended landform enough it is so great and I encourage anyone to give them a shot :) you won’t be disappointed!!!

Fantastic experience: The first time I trained with Steven, I arrived anxious and sort of intimidated because I was worried that he would see how out of shape I was. But he wasn't focusing on what I had done in the past, all he cared about was teaching me the better way to work out moving forward. The first session blew my mind with information that I had no idea about. I remember telling him how crazy it was that most things I had been taught about good form and posture were wrong, and kind of mad that they don't teach the basics of body mechanics in public school. I've been training with Steven for over a year now. Out of all the trainers I've had (who were all amazing), Steven is the first one who has really shown me a new way of thinking about fitness. I'm no longer intimidated by the gym, by workouts, or by my own preconceived limitations about my own body. I was just at the gym the other night after taking a couple months off, and I found myself teaching my friend how to do a proper pushup. This is exactly why I'm giving Steven 5 stars. He doesn't just feed you for a day, he feeds you FOR LIFE. I feel empowered now more than ever because I have learned how to move my body the right way. Landform Fitness may be a little studio, but it has a LOT to offer.

Fantastic experience: I had a great 1 on 1 experience with a Steven. He helped me learn exercises and stretches that helped my body to get into a workable position. That came first and then working on the proper form of each work our tailored to how I wanted to improve. I highly recommend Steven.

Fantastic experience: I've been going to group classes for two weeks now and I love this place!! They are welcoming, friendly and push me to do more every session. The 1.25 hour flys by. Classes start on time and there is a sense of camaraderie among all the participants in the class. I've had classes with Steven and Jose and they're always pushing me to correct my positioning and posture when doing the variety of exercises in the circuit. Everyday the exercises are a little bit different which make it more interesting. I am the type of person that really does not like to exercise, But I have to say that I'm having a great time at this gym. I've attended 8 classes so far And I am already seeing improvement in my strength, stamina and ability to do the circuit. I started out with a one month membership of our you can attend classes and I plan on extending for a three month special and there has been no sales pressure. I highly recommend this place!!!

Fantastic experience: Melanie is an AMAZING personal trainer! I’ve been her client for over a year and I am so happy I started with her. She really personalizes my workout to target the areas I want. If you are looking for a trainer who will push and motivate you towards your fitness goals I recommend her!

Fantastic experience: I have been a client of Steven’s for a couple of years now and it isn’t just about lifting weights. It’s about technique, form, diet, strength training and so much more. Steven works with you to achieve your personal goals and tracks your achievements. Steven is not one of those trainers where you go I. For an hour session and that’s it. He is a 24/7 trainer. He cares about your total success.

Fantastic experience: I started training with Steven in July of this year. I started a 6-week fitness challenge with him and several other guys. I was thoroughly impressed and pleased with the experience and my results. So when Steven opened up Landform Fitness I jumped at the opportunity to continue working with him. I have had the pleasure of working with him and his other trainers Jose and Melanie. I am consistently challenged to push further but always supported by the Landform team. I highly recommend Landform Fitness to any and everyone who is looking for a fun and engaging way to improve their overall health and wellness.

Fantastic experience: My experience at Landform Fitness with Steven and his Team has been life changing. I enrolled myself for 6 month to be committed to it and just 6 weeks in I have had great success. I highly recommend Landform Fitness to all my friends. Thank You Steven, Jose, and Melanie!
