Lauren Pollick, one of my servers at Saska's, was always raving about it and got me to come try it out. The rest is history!

Favorite Workout Song: Anything I can dance to! I love it when the DJ spins upstairs in the cardio room!

Why did you choose Wave House Athletic Club?
At the time, my husband and I lived in Pacific Beach so the location was convenient for us. Even though we no longer live in PB, I am hooked on the fitness classes, the friendly front desk associates, the football pool, and the member appreciation party. I love the small-town feel of Wave House!

Why you chose Wave House Athletic Club?
I chose Wave House because of the location. I live in south Mission Beach and love that I can walk to the gym. I also like the fact that everyone is much nicer compared to other gyms; I like walking into a place with familiar, friendly faces.

Favorite Workout Song: Anything loud and fast

Why did you choose Wave House Athletic Club?
I originally chose Wave House Athletic Club because of the pool.  I wanted to start competing in triathlons and the facility was conveniently located to our house so I could bring my kids to the pool as well.

Favorite Workout Song: "Just Dance" - Lady Gaga

Why did you chose Wave House Athletic Club?
Before I joined Wave House Athletic Club I wasn’t really working out. Since I am on the go for my job, not having a gym membership definitely decreased my motivation to work out and it was much easier to find an excuse. I had joined another gym, but still found myself only going to one class and then doing the same old routine in the gym.  I was not pushing myself to try new things because there weren’t that many options.

I chose this Wave House because of the amazing location next to the beach and the great classes.  I especially love Christy's Zumba, Christal's BOSU and any class Jon teaches.  All of the staff is exceptionally great at Wave House, I always enjoy seeing everyone! It is a truly a great place to be a member at!

Swim School Student Spotlight: Jake and Tyler

Tyler is 7.5 years old and LOVES to swim!  We started him in YMCA swim classes before moving on to Murray Callan. After 3 years, Tyler had progressed solidly but outgrew his lessons. He started taking lessons at Wave House with Matt in the Plunge and he can now swim 20 meters in 20 seconds! The swim instructors at Wave House are working hard with him on proper stroke technique and he is getting more comfortable in the deep end of the pool.

Weight, pounds, fat, muscle etc.  These words are what can discourage and encourage people.  I started my journey over 4 years ago to improve my health.  I was not always a big guy.  I was athletic, played multiple sports and even walked outside with my shirt off.  During my junior year of high school, I broke my foot and gained 40 lbs.

Member: Alesia Stanford

My husband and I moved to San Diego a year and a half ago. We had a terrific gym and finding a place to work out was a top priority when we moved to Pacific Beach.  I looked around at several different gyms, but never settled on a home. A friend introduced me to Wave House Athletic Club and the Aqualogix class.
