Welcome to the Gym!
Mountain Fitness Center is a full-service gym in the heart of Big Bear Lake. We may be a little weird, even a little wacky at times, but very friendly and very helpful. We work with people of all ages and abilities – from “I’ve never exercised, ever” to “I have to pass the firefighter agility test in 8 weeks.” Come in and tell us what you’re looking for. But be careful, you might end up exercising, and you might even enjoy it!
Gym Equipment
We aim to offer a little of something for everyone. You’ll find equipment ranging from traditional strength training machines to a Freemotion Cable Cross to spin bikes to plyometrics boxes.
- Circuit machines: abdominal crunch, back extension, preacher curl / triceps dip, pec deck, seated row, lat pulldown, leg press, leg extension, leg curl, inner/outer thigh, shoulder press, and chest press. There’s a dual fixed pulley station too.
- Free weights: 2 sets of dumbbells (up to 70lbs, with olympic dumbbell bars to take you heavier than that), 2 olympic bars and a power cage/bench combination that gets used heavily for powerlifting, incline presses and such.
- Cardio equipment: 2 Stairmasters, 3 treadmills which incline up to 15°, 2 elliptical trainers, 2 upright bikes, and a recumbent elliptical (much like a recumbent bike).
- Dynamic training equipment: piles of medicine balls, tangles of rubber bands, racks of stability/swiss balls, stacks of cones, agility ladders, a 300lb tire with hammers, etc…
