What amenities are included with a TruSelf membership?

Every membership includes the full weights and cardio floor, Peloton bikes (membership fee covered), the outdoor turf zone, unlimited group classes, free WiFi, and a free InBody scan. Premium and Inclusive memberships add the recovery suite — infrared sauna, Hyperice recovery room, and cold plunge access.

Does TruSelf have a sauna and cold plunge?

Yes — a full-spectrum infrared sauna and cold plunge with private time blocks, plus contrast therapy combining both. They're included with our Inclusive membership and available on recovery plans and single sessions.

What is the outdoor turf zone for?

Sled pushes, tire flips, functional conditioning, and open-air training in San Diego weather — a dedicated outdoor space most gyms simply don't have. It's open to every member.

Are the Peloton bikes really included?

Yes — TruSelf covers the Peloton membership fee, so you ride live and on-demand Peloton classes at the gym at no extra cost, on any membership tier.

Which San Diego gym has the most amenities near Allied Gardens?

TruSelf Sporting Club at 5125 Waring Road in Allied Gardens combines a full training floor, outdoor turf, Pelotons, and a complete recovery suite — sauna, cold plunge, and Hyperice room — minutes from Del Cerro, San Carlos, Grantville, La Mesa, and SDSU. Voted best gym in San Diego, 2015–2025.

Do TruSelf memberships include personal training?

Yes — every TruSelf membership includes two complimentary welcome personal training sessions and one personal yoga training visit, so you start with a real plan instead of guessing.

How much does personal training cost at TruSelf?

Training is priced by program, not one-size-fits-all — it depends on your goals, how often you train, and which trainer you work with. The best way to get an exact number: use your two free welcome sessions (included with every membership) to meet a trainer, build your plan, and get straightforward pricing with no obligation. No pressure, no upsell scripts — just a plan and a price.

How do I get matched with the right trainer?

Your welcome sessions are the matchmaking — tell us your goals and we'll pair you with the trainer whose specialty fits, from strength and fat loss to mobility and sport-specific training. Stop by the front desk or ask in the TruSelf app.

Do your trainers use InBody scan data?

Yes — your free InBody body composition scan (included with every membership) gives your trainer a baseline of muscle mass, body fat, and BMR, so your program is built on data and your progress is measurable month to month.

I'm brand new to the gym — is personal training for me?

Especially for you. Beginners get the fastest results from coaching — proper form from day one, a plan that fits your life, and someone in your corner. Our trainers work with every level, from first-timers to competitive athletes.

Are group fitness classes included with a TruSelf membership?

Yes — every TruSelf membership includes unlimited live group classes at no extra cost. No class packs, no per-session fees, on any tier.

Do I need to reserve a spot in class?

Reserve your spot in the TruSelf app — it takes a few seconds and guarantees your place. Check the live schedule for class days and times.

Are classes beginner-friendly?

Absolutely. Every class — from HIIT and TRX to barre, Mat Pilates, yoga, Red Light Therapy Yoga, and Zumba — is taught by credentialed instructors who offer modifications for every level. Your first class, just introduce yourself and the instructor will take it from there.

What is Red Light Therapy Yoga?

An all-levels yoga class practiced under therapeutic red and near-infrared light panels — the same recovery technology used by athletes to support skin health, circulation, and muscle recovery. It's yoga and recovery in one session, included free with every TruSelf membership. Spots are limited, so reserve in the TruSelf app.

What should I bring to class?

Water, a towel, and comfortable workout clothes. For yoga, Red Light Therapy Yoga, and Mat Pilates, we have mats available, though we recommend bringing your own if you have one.

Can I try a class before becoming a member?

Yes — grab a free 3-day guest pass and take any live classes on the schedule that week, no membership required.

What is a Normatec compression session like?

You slip into Normatec compression boots that inflate in waves from your feet up, massaging your legs the way elite athletes recover after training. Most people describe it as a deep, rhythmic squeeze — you just sit back and let the boots work.

What equipment is in the TruSelf Recovery Room?

Hyperice Normatec compression boots and Hyperice percussion therapy devices — the same recovery tools used by pro sports teams — in a dedicated recovery space at our San Diego gym.

How do I get access to the recovery room?

Unlimited recovery room access is included with our Premium and Inclusive gym memberships. Book your time block in the TruSelf app and walk in — boots on, legs up.

When should I use compression therapy?

After leg day, long runs, HYROX-style training, or any session that leaves you sore — and many members pair it with contrast therapy: infrared sauna, cold plunge, then compression to finish. It's also popular on rest days to loosen up before the next workout.

Do TruSelf memberships require a contract?

No. All TruSelf Sporting Club memberships are month-to-month with no contracts and no cancellation fees. Prepaid 6- and 12-month options are available if you prefer to save by paying upfront.

What's included with a TruSelf membership?

Every membership includes full gym access, unlimited group classes, and one free InBody body composition scan. Our Inclusive membership adds unlimited cold plunge, infrared sauna, and contrast therapy.

Can I try the gym before joining?

Yes — grab a free 3-day guest pass and try the gym, classes, and amenities before you commit. No pressure, no obligation.

What if I want to cancel or change my plan later?

You're never locked in — every membership is month-to-month with no cancellation fees. If your goals change, stop by the front desk and our team will help you find the plan that fits and get you set up on it. We'd rather have you on the right membership than the biggest one.

Do I need a gym membership to use the cold plunge?

No — anyone can book a single session or session pack. Every session includes all-day access to the gym. If you become a TruSelf Inclusive member, cold plunge and contrast therapy are included with your membership.

What is contrast therapy?

Contrast therapy alternates between cold plunge immersion and infrared sauna heat. The temperature swings drive circulation, helping muscles relax in the heat and recover in the cold — a favorite of athletes dealing with chronic soreness or heavy training loads.

Is the cold plunge private?

Yes. Every cold plunge and contrast session is an exclusive private 30-minute time block — just you. Towel service is included, and you can reserve your time in the TruSelf app.

How much does an InBody scan cost in San Diego?

At TruSelf Sporting Club, a single InBody scan is $25 for non-members and $15 for members. Every new TruSelf membership includes one free scan, and our $19/month InBody plan includes a monthly scan with no contract.

Do I need a gym membership to get an InBody scan?

No — anyone can book a $25 single test, which includes all-day gym access and a results review with a personal trainer.

How long does an InBody test take?

The scan itself takes about 15 seconds. Plan around 15–20 minutes total to review your results sheet with one of our trainers.

How should I prepare for my InBody scan?

Hydrate well the day before, skip caffeine that day, avoid eating 3–4 hours before, avoid exercise 6–12 hours before, and skip the sauna or shower right before testing. Don't test if you have a pacemaker or implanted electronic medical device, or are pregnant.

Infrared Sauna

About Infrared Sauna

TruSelf Sporting Club’s Infrared Sauna provides a relaxing, detoxing experience that is just the right supplement for any recovery practice. Equipped with mid-infrared and far-infrared elements, the health benefits of infrared heat are many. The ability to provide all the benefits of natural sunlight without any of the dangerous effects of solar radiation, along with all the below health benefits makes infrared sauna one of the most popular recovery practices in San Diego today.

TruSelf Sporting Club’s infrared sauna incorporates elements of near, mid, and far infrared elements. The near-infrared element is the most effective wavelength for stimulating skin repair and collagen production to produce an anti-aging effect. The mid-infrared elements of the sauna can best stimulate heating in tissues and joints, and also generate the most heat from inside the body rather than the air. The far-infrared elements have been clinically shown to increase core body temperature by 5 degrees from normal, which is best for increasing sweat and detoxification.
