LODGING

The address of our gym is: 12234 Poway Rd, Poway, CA 92064. If you are planning to rent a car, then feel free to do a search for the hotel (or Air BnB) that offers you the best combination of price, accommodations and proximity to the gym. 

If you would prefer to not rent a car, the local people attending the course are happy to provide transportation to/from class and to/from the airport, but you would need to stay at 1 of the following 4 hotels:

  1. Ramada by Wyndham
    12448 Poway Rd, Poway, CA 92064
    (858) 206-8061
    Distance to gym: 0.4 miles
    Opinion: This is definitely your closest option, along with probably one of the cheaper options. That said, it is a bare bones hotel... simply a place to lay your head.

  2. La Quinta Inn by Wyndham - San Diego/Miramar
    10185 Paseo Montril, San Diego, CA 92129
    (858) 727-8025
    Distance to gym: 3.0 miles
    Opinion: This is an upgrade from the Ramada above. In addition, I believe that you get free breakfast.

  3. Sonesta ES Suites - Carmel Mountain
    11002 Rancho Carmel Dr, San Diego, CA 92128
    (858) 673-1900
    Distance to gym: 4.2 miles
    Opinion: See below

  4. Sonesta ES Suites - Rancho Bernardo
    11855 Avenue of Industry, San Diego, CA 92128
    (858) 487-0900
    Distance to gym: 3.8 miles
    Opinion: The Sonesta hotels are a step up from the first 2 hotels. These are mini-suites. They have a fridge (which is good for evening drinks like milk or juice and evening snacks, like yogurt or something) Breakfast is included. They have gas grills to BBQ food and are very comfortable.
