Whether it’s your first visit or you’re simply looking for inspiration, here’s what we consider the perfect way to spend a day at AquaVie Fitness + Wellness Club. Tucked away in the heart of downtown San Diego, AquaVie remains something of a hidden gem. As a 40,000-square-foot wellness destination spread across four floors, plus a stunning rooftop experience reserved exclusively for members and hotel guests, there’s plenty to explore.
Morning: Start with a Workout
Begin your visit on the fitness floor, home to over 200 state-of-the-art cardio and strength machines, including brand-new Technogym equipment; the same brand trusted by Olympic athletes. Whether you prefer a treadmill session, free weights, or circuit training, you’ll find everything you need to get your heart pumping. Our spacious layout means you’ll never have to wait for your favorite machine, and with options ranging from Peloton bikes to TRX stations, you can build a workout tailored to your goals.
If group fitness is more your speed, check our class schedule for options like Pilates Sculpt, BarreCORE, or Fountain Terrace Vinyasa, all led by experienced instructors who welcome every fitness level. If you’re looking for something more personalized, our certified personal trainers are available to design a program around your unique goals and keep you motivated along the way.
Midday: Take It to the Roof
After your workout, head up to the rooftop to cool off with a dip in our heated Junior Olympic-sized lap pool, the largest rooftop lap pool in downtown San Diego, and an exclusive amenity for members and hotel guests. Or, take it easy and stretch out on one of our day beds or loungers, relax in the hot tub, and soak in the abundant California sunshine.
When hunger strikes, the rooftop bar is open daily from 11:30 AM to 7:00 PM, serving fresh poolside dining straight from the kitchen. Order a healthy smoothie, a light bite, or something more indulgent—all delivered right to your deck chair.
Afternoon: Rest, Recover, Repeat
As the afternoon unfolds, settle into a state of relaxation. Warm up by one of the rooftop fire pits, catch a local game on the bar’s TVs, or simply take in the views of the stunning downtown skyline.
If you’re craving a little extra pampering, consider booking a treatment at our full-service spa. From restorative massages to skin-nourishing facials, it’s the perfect way to round out a day dedicated to your wellbeing.
Before You Leave: Refuel at Vie Café
On your way out, stop by Vie Café for a post-workout bite to replenish your energy. Located on-site for your convenience, Vie Café offers wholesome meals that prioritize nourishment and wellness, so you can refuel and feel good about what you’re putting in your body. Grab a smoothie, a protein-packed chicken wrap, or a light snack to recharge after your workout. It’s the perfect way to close out your day without undoing all that hard work.
