Our story

About Ocean Pacific.

Located steps from the beach in Pacific Beach, we're a gym that believes in community, achieving goals, and living life to the fullest.

Welcome to the active lifestyle

More than a gym — a community by the water.

We're a state-of-the-art gym and wellness center right on the beach in Pacific Beach, with 300+ garage parking spaces (free with validation) beneath the building. Come spend your day at the gym, on the boardwalk, and at the beach.

Under owner Ken Cornell, the club has been rebuilt into a professionally designed facility with new equipment arriving constantly and full amenities. Whether you're after a serious lifting session or a restorative sauna and spa day, you can do it all here — industrial-chic, at the beach, with an indoor stretch and yoga room overlooking the waves and an outdoor turf deck for group workouts.

The owners.

Devoted to the health and well-being of our members — a safe, clean, friendly, judgment-free place to train.

Ken Cornell

Ken Cornell

Owner

Ken grew up between California's San Fernando Valley and Las Vegas, and spent decades in sales and real estate — turning tired beach shacks into masterpieces along the water. When his local gym needed some love, he bought it and rebuilt it into a community fitness and wellness center for the beach he loves. You'll see him working out every day and watching the fights in the lounge.

Dawson

Dawson

Management

Our skyscraper-of-a-young-man grew up on skis in Alaska — hunting, fishing, and skateboarding — before a couple of years on the Big Island of Hawaii landed him on the beaches of San Diego and here at the gym. His motto: "Just effing do it. Be happy. That's it."

Connor

Connor

Management

A college hockey player from Cape Cod, Connor studied hospitality and completed Forbes Five-Star training before bringing his East Coast manners to the left coast. He knows every member's name, workout cycle, and schedule by heart — and wants everyone to feel good about being in the gym.
