You can sign up for classes using their website, Class Pass or even get a monthly membership (which I did!). It would be worth 91,784,839,538,482 Class Pass credits per class (thankfully it isn't!). Best decision ever! I have been going to Glute Lab lower body classes 3x a week for about 6 months. Everything about Glute Lab is amazing, especially Dominique the trainer for the 9 a.m. class. Dom has the best vibe, and her class will challenge you in the most fun way. She has a great way about her that pushes you to do more but celebrates where you are. She is making San Diego better, one booty at a time! Each lower body class starts with hip thrusts on literally the best thrust set up I've ever seen. No more awkward bench or Smith machine thrust -- Bret Contreras has the gym equipped with several different thruster options so you can pick the set up that is most comfortable. You end up doing 1-2 sets to warm-up then they prescribe 4 specific working sets (technique, reps). The thrusts take 20 min. Then, you do rotating stations which are mostly lower-body but 1-2 upper body to even you out. If it is a full class, you partner up but if it is a small class then everyone does each station on their own. After the stations segment, you end with a band burnout using a glute band. That is about 2-3 minutes of banded abductions, kickbacks, glute bridges -- it varies every time. From the programming at Glute Lab to the amazing vibe, I love everything about this place.

Fantastic female focused gym and trainers. I look forward to pushing myself at every workout and seeing results. Follow them on Instagram or drop in for a session to see what its all about.

I walked into the glute lab not knowing much of Bret or the hip thrust. My small friend dragged me in. I met Dom and immediately loved her energy. Its easy to be intimidated by her strength but her vibe is very inviting. She is very knowledgeable in strong lifting. Her encouragement made me want to buy a ten pack. And then another ten pack. She has a way of pushing you in a very non contentious way. Now having a membership and working with the other two trainers, they all bring something special to the Glute lab. Elizabeth is just overwhelmingly sweet and motivating. And I feel I get a workout and a micro therapy session in with Natilee. Weve bonded over our love for self growth, running and donuts. All three ladies are fantastic in their own way. All classes are upbeat and filled with nothing but positivity! Dom is a gem though. Shes the diamond Bret never rid of. Shes that cool where she should have her own hashtag!#bootybyDom

Trainer Dom Scott was amazing and very knowledgeable! The training session was the encouragement I needed to get back into weightlifting that I missed so much but didnt know how to.
