ABOUT US
Brian has been part of the Fitness West family since 1989. From the very beginning, he knew that if he were ever to own a gym, it would be Fitness West—and no other. That lifelong goal became a reality in January 2018 when Brian and his wife, Shari, proudly took ownership of the gym.
Shari is a second-generation San Diego native who grew up in Del Mar, where she spent her childhood riding and showing horses. Her deep roots in the community and passion for healthy, active living are central to the spirit of Fitness West.
Together, Brian and Shari share a strong love for Pacific Beach and remain deeply involved in the local community. Brian’s civic commitment was recognized when he was named the Honorary Mayor of Pacific Beach in 2023, a role that reflects his dedication to giving back and strengthening the neighborhood.
At Fitness West, our goal is simple: to provide a clean, friendly, non-intimidating, and hassle-free environment where everyone—regardless of age, experience, or fitness level—can feel comfortable working out and embracing a healthy lifestyle.

"This is a great gym: affordable, not intimidating, wonderful classes, great folks working there. I only switched gyms because I moved neighborhoods."

"Overall just a great place to work out and be a member of. Friendly, family atmosphere that you don't really get at the corporate gyms. The staff do a nice job of keeping it clean and running a great gym. "
