The Human Elite - El Cajon, California

One of the most welcoming gym I’ve been too. Everyone is so friendly. I was using a trainer named Caleb and he was absolutely fantastic. Showed me how to properly use the machines and there prices were fantastic. If you’re thinking about getting a trainer, I recommend him. Owner Devon is always friendly and always makes effort to say hi. You don’t see that at most gyms.

This gym has great vibes and is a very motivating gym no matter where you are in your fitness journey! Whether you’re new to the gym or an experienced bodybuilder, you have a place in this gym. Everything feels very high quality and well maintained! While it also has a private feel to it, compared to a crowded “chain gym”. I would highly recommend if you’re in the area looking for a good gym! I love their equipment!! Plus they have a nutrition shop next door!!

This gym is absolutely amazing. I noticed right away it’s not a very big floor plan, but that’s fine. I really enjoyed the variety of equipment. I’ll definitely be back.

I’ve known the owner Devin C, since high school, though we barely crossed paths back then. Years later, I came across him on Facebook, where he was crushing bodybuilding competitions and building a gym from the ground up—completely on his own. That’s when I knew I wanted to train with him.

It took me a while to finally commit, but once I did, there was no looking back. From day one, the gym had an inviting, no-nonsense vibe—clean, well-equipped, and stocked with top-tier gear. Devin wasted no time assessing my current fitness level, and by the end of our initial sessions, we had taken body measurements, set clear goals, and he was already crafting my meal plans.

This is a true family-owned, no-frills establishment run by passionate, hardcore individuals. And yes, they’re full-blooded Italians—clearly blessed in the genetics department! 🤩

If you’re on the fence about joining or booking personal training, don’t let fear or doubt hold you back. This place is the real deal, and Devin is the kind of trainer who will push you to achieve results. Highly recommend!

Human Elite gym is incredible! The staff and environment are very positive. It’s never busy and you feel like you have your own gym most of the time. It’s always clean, Devin is such an awesome coach and person to be around. He created such a positive and uplifting community. Great place to train at!

Was in the area for work and had to book a hotel for the night through a third
-party app (pre-paid), which initially showed that there was a fitness center at the hotel, but in reality, there wasn't one. On top of that, my keyfob, to a name-brand gym at around 10:00 p.m., wasn't working either at any of the neighboring locations. Found this place on Google, drove over, and walked right in. The nice gentleman at the front desk, after hearing my back story, let me use the facility at no charge! (*Of course, I had to sign a waiver)

Twenty-four hour day passes are $25/day, and they also have options for weekly passes. At 10:10 p.m., there were only a handful of people; both guys and girls, everyone minding their own business. The place seemed like a neighborhood gym that is safe, very welcoming, judgment-free, and for people who are quite serious about their fitness goals. The facility is very clean and aesthetic, and all of the equipment are well maintained and properly placed with enough room for one to workout. The overall color combination and music selection are also well suited and motivational.

The gym has two major sections, and one of them is mostly dedicated to leg workouts. They do have a small cardio section, and it has stairs - which some individuals prefer over other cardio equipment. Check out the pictures attached to this post to find out what other equipment they have.

Highly recommend for anyone who lives within a few miles of the facility!

Very small and cramped gym. Throughout my year being there the treadmills always seemed to have some sort of issue (didn’t incline, couldn’t increase speed,etc) they also decided to start charging an annual fee without notifying their members as well as initiating a cancellation fee… again with out letting their members know…. Update: posted this and 22 hours later they sent an email out stating they were going to charge a new annual fee this month…

This gym has everything you need to crush your workout. Highly recommend this place to anyone that’s looking for an awesome gym experience with top notch equipment, friendly staff, and a goal driven community in health and fitness.
