“I love this place! Great gym and equipment! Great workouts and coaching! Great people and atmosphere! My husband and I drop in, whenever we are in town. Andy is awesome!!! He is always welcoming and helpful. The members are great too...friendly and encouraging. I've never felt unwelcome. We workout at gym in Ventura and KMF feels like a home away from home.”

“I definitely recommend this place if you're looking into boxing any type of fitness this is definitely the place I take my son here three days a week and I have to say he enjoys it every time he comes. The owner is very nice and very respectful and you can tell he really enjoys his job Body By Discipline is very clean kid friendly pricing is very reasonable”

“I love OTF! I’ve been going for about 7 months now. It was easy to add OTF to my weekly schedule and I love that I have a regular exercise routine. I love the energy and fast paced classes. The coaches are always high energy and super motivating!! I highly recommend; I have more energy and feel stronger.”

“What I love about OrangeTheory Fitness... The coaches; the encouragement, the advice and postural adjustments, their energy. I love the loud music and the lighting. I like that every workout is different. Everyone is very so nice.”

“CrossFit ATR is for everyone. No matter your age or size! The classes are structured so that you can go your own pace. You don't have to go to the extreme. Just get it there and move. The movements are "functional movements". Movements you do every day IRL.Great staff, great classmates, great community, great equipment and great spaces.”

“I was in town visiting an old friend and tagged along for weekend workouts .... WOW! What a welcoming and driven community. Especially for me, a person who hasn't worked out in a while, Coach Alex was great! Highly recommend and I'm sad I can't bring the gym home with me!”

“Came here as a newbie to working out so I was really nervous. It is a very friendly environment and the staff is great. Looking forward to slowly but surely continuing my fitness journey with this group!”

“CrossFit Hillcrest is an exceptional place, with talented coach staff and ownership dedicated to continuous improvement and to providing an inclusive and engaged community of members. If you are reading this and have any doubts about starting your fitness journey, or any fears about what CrossFit is or isn't... just come check out CrossFit Hillcrest. You won't regret it.”

“Amazing gym! I have been coming here since 2018 and have loved it from day 1! All the trainers are incredible! I love that I can lift weights at my boot camps but also get my cardio classes at my fight camps! I love the accountability that you get not only from your trainers but your gym buddies that you will for sure get. I want to work out because they make the classes fun and for all levels! There are young and old, in shape and those who are beginning our journey! I've never felt judged or out of place! If you're looking for a gym go here!”

“If you are looking for the best gym in San Diego, you need to check out CKO Miramar! I've been a member of CKO for about 8 years (Maybe longer. I've lost track). I've tried other gyms before and nothing compares to CKO.Their fees are very reasonable compared to other gyms. You have access to unlimited kickboxing classes. If you want to upgrade your membership, you can also do weight training. The gym is very clean and they have showers for those that want to work out early and then head off to work after a quick shower.Plus you get to work out with 4 of the most amazing instructors. Brendon, Freddy, Brandon, and Francis will kick your butt (In a good way). Cheryl, one of the owners, also teaches on occasion and she will kick your butt too. I burn between 500 and 700 calories per class! The atmosphere of the gym is ver friendly and supportive. CKO Miramar has the best members. They will give you a high five or a shout out to encourage you to keep going. Come check out the gym and sign up for a free introductory class and get 2024 started on the right foot.”

“The team is phenomenal, they coach you through the work outs, provide modifications of needed. The circuits change daily so you’ll never get bored of the routine. It’s is extremely clean as well!! You must try it!!”

“I’ve been a loyal member at Orange Theory Fitness Eastlake for several years now. The combination of a supportive staff, engaging workouts, and a strong sense of community truly stands out. It’s evident that group fitness, especially High-Intensity Interval Training (HIIT), is not only popular but backed by extensive research for its effectiveness in fitness. The unique color-coded exertion levels—green, orange, and red—allow for a personalized workout experience, catering to one’s pace and intensity. The dedication of the front desk staff and coaches in providing support is remarkable, further enhancing the inclusive community vibe that’s rare in other fitness studios or gyms.While there are many positives, like community, staff and effectiveness of workout ; there are also areas for improvement. The franchise model under a central governing body sometimes limits the incorporation of member feedback into the workout protocols.Specific points of concern include:1. Expanding the 2G Class Format: Previously, coaches could adjust to accommodate more than 34 members based on demand, but this flexibility has been restricted, leading to waitlists and limited access during peak hours. This is compounded by New years resolutions and OTF transformaiton challenge (members pays $35 for weight and body compostion analysis during an week period. During the Transformation challenge members are expected to attend 3 classes a week.2. Equipment Maintenance: With only one regional maintenance person, the upkeep of equipment like rowers and treadmills suffers, affecting usability. Even basics like ensuring cool water from the water machine, which has been dispensing warm water for months, are overlooked.3. Studio Cleanliness: Despite the staff’s efforts, the cleaning schedule does not keep up with high usage, and a professional cleaning service could improve the situation to perform regular deep cleaning.4. Member Feedback and Service: Although feedback is collected, it often seems neglected, with little action taken on issues raised by members. A more proactive approach and an additional forum for the leadership team to address and respond to member concerns would be beneficial. Members want to be heard and their concerned acknowledged and addresed.Orange Theory Fitness Eastlake is more than just a gym—it’s a community where staff and members alike invest their hearts and souls, creating a familial atmosphere. Like any organization, there are challenges, especially in maintaining a close connection with the community from a distance. As the southernmost studio, addressing these issues could elevate our experience to one of the premier fitness offerings in the Southbay.”

“I have a few friends who go or have gone to NXPT and they all have loved it so I decided to give it a try. I signed up for the 10 days for $10 deal-- which is a total steal since you're able to use both the La Mesa location (which is also next to their yoga and spin studio) and the Kearny Mesa location. After my 10th day, I immediately signed up for a membership. After learning that they have a nurse/military discount, this sealed the deal for me. The Workouts: I mostly do the 45 minute classes (X45) and the hot power fusion yoga. They offer X30, spin, pump, and WOD classes. The workouts are challenging and I leave feeling satisfied with my workouts, even the warm alone leaves you breathless haha. The X45 and X30 classes are mixed with cardio and strength, the pump class has less cardio. What I would appreciate though is if there was a set schedule of what body part we'll be focusing on each day so that I can plan around the week if I'm not able to go to an NXPT class. However, NXPT is very active on Instagram so I always just look at their stories in the morning so I know what to expect for my workout-- this works for me as I go in the later morning classes. The instructors/community: Everyone that I've taken a class with has been amazing! Shout out to Ali, Mariana, Ryan, Dan, and Dafna for HPF! They make you feel welcome and will push you to challenge yourself. The people I've met in these classes are nice and very welcoming-- this was a big reason why I signed up for a membership. Location: There's ample parking for both locations. I've never had a problem finding one but I only go in the mornings though, so I can't speak for the afternoon classes. Overall, NXPT has very welcoming members, amazing instructors, and workouts that will certainly challenge you. I'm so glad I signed up, highly recommend!!”

“Great Crossfit gym! Very welcoming and great coaching! Lots of equipment. Big proponents of Mayhem programming, which is awesome. They offer kids' crossfit, olympic weightlifting, and gymnastics, coached by Anthony who is a rockstar coach!”

“Jenna and MC are my favorite coaches! Super motivating, positive and plays the best music. I went from not working out and barely being able to jog a block to jogging for over 20 mins straight. It doesn’t matter whether you’re in your 20’s, 30’s, 40’s, 50’s 60’s etc.. the class is designed to help you enjoy your workout at whatever level you’re at.”

“The whole Balance Fitness team is great! However, Sherry stands out with a warm welcome to all the guests that walk in to the gym. I also had a situation where my class confirmation said the wrong address and she took the time to give me the class herself.The facility is always very clean and ready for use. Not crowded usually. Has showers, lockers and a sauna!”

“I started at this gym January 2nd 2024 and I’ve been invited to 5 parties, lost 30 lbs, competed 3 times, and continue to meet new incredible people and try new classes! The class floor plan changes each week and follows a similar pattern throughout each day and usually alternates upper body and lower body focus days. At least that is what I’ve noticed. You have the opportunity to do heavier work sometimes and then there is also 4 CrossFit style classes a week if you enjoy Olympic lifting and CrossFit movements. All the trainers are super great that I’ve had so far and are knowledgeable about the movements and mobility! Highly recommend especially for endurance based training and cross training. It’s really helped me lose the weight! They have a few challenges a year and the prices are good and it’s fun to get points! Come to the 430pm class and say hi!”

“I found Bootique Fitness during Covid. Two years later I’m still going to the park to workout with a fabulous group of ladies. Jaylin and Sabrina make the workouts fun and challenging. They make you make you feel comfortable and give options for all fitness levels. One of the best things about Bootique is getting to workout in the park. So much better than a gym. Come to park and try out Bootique. You’ll not be disappointed. You will get stronger and more fit. You will be inspired. “ Just do it!””

“One of the best gyms I've ever visited! It's uncommon to find a gym where the coaches go above and beyond for an individual, but that's not the case here.”

“I was recommended this gym by a work colleague & I'm so glad I signed up!I am a true beginner to CrossFit & I was so nervous to start but everyone there from the coaches to the gym members has been so nice, helpful & motivating. I'm excited to go to class & workout!”

“I love Title Boxing! All the instructors are motivating, friendly and truly want you to be your best. I recommend Title to anybody looking for a fun and great workout!I”

“Dropped in for two weeks while in San Diego for business. Everyone was very welcoming. They have a good variety of classes. The coaches are very knowledgeable. Equipment is well maintained.”

“I’ve been coming to the camp for about 8 months and I’ve lost a total of 45 lbs. you not only get a gym but a little family. Come an join a class and check for yourself how firndly everyone is.”

“I started going to Hardcore Fitness in 2019. One of my colleagues had done one of their Fitness Challenges and recommended it. While she had been trying to get in shape for a long time, this really changed her mindset and she made drastic changes. I love working out, but sometimes it's difficult to find time and energy after a long day at work; this seems to be the perfect opportunity to give myself some accountability or to work out with a group to really motivate me on days when I would just as soon get some well needed rest. Cuz honestly, those days are more and more with the busy work life. They do boot camp workouts and fight camp workouts. Every class goes over form before each workout for each exercise. What I found is that the staff at all of their locations really care about creating change in their members lives. There's a lot of camaraderie among members and they really focus on pushing yourself, by doing it in a safe way, and not being some macho meathead type experience. There really is a place for everyone and everyone is very supportive of each other. There's all shapes, ages, and personalities in there, but the one thing that they have in common is that people really help each other to achieve goals. I am now been going there for five years with a little gap due to Covid, but found it to be one of the most impactful aspects of my life. I don't just give them five stars... I give them five stars for every day that I go in there, and those are accumulative. Thank you HARDCORE FITNESS!”

“The coaching, equipment and community at 1904 is unbeatable! I joined open gym/OLY in April and was immediately adopted into the community as if I’d been working out there my whole life. With Josh’s Olympic lifting coaching and programming I have PR’d every lift within the span of 3 months. If you are looking to get fit and make friends this is the place for you!”

“Been going to this gym for a good bit now, super awesome environment and more of a home style boxing gym that focuses on basics and not just cardio boxing definitely check it out. It's worth a try!”

“I've been to a lot of gyms and Renegade is my hands-down favorite. Whenever I go consistently I experience noticeable strength, stamina, balance, and MUSCLE. With coaching cues and a paced and varied class format the hour flies! All I have to do is show up to work my ass off. Because different body groupings are targeted I can go every day: rest for one area is built-in while the other gets shaky. Much like the NYT crossword puzzle, these workouts increase in intensity through the week, culminating in my favorite full-body hours. This never gets stale! While the TURF (think body weight, bands) /CARDIO (Assault bikes, manual treads, kettlebells) /RACKS (free weights, benches, TRX) format remains unchanged, periodic shifts add intervals, modify set timing, etc. and keep my body guessing.Fair warning: the mind also gets a little workout as it tries to keep up with memory of the early class demos, the named exercise/timing cues on the whiteboards, and the coaching calls. My first few classes were awkward! But once it clicks it's brilliant: you get in the groove and push or modify as needed.If you like a challenging workout and want to see results I highly recommend giving Renegade Fit a look. P.S. Bring water, a towel and, if you want to protect your hearing from their stellar sound system, ear plugs.”

“I've been going here 3-4 times a week now for over a year, and I can't recommend Will Power more highly. Will is the friendliest owner ever, and his passion for having a welcoming gym is felt every time I step in. Gym has everything you need whether you're an avid bodybuilder/powerlifter or have other fitness priorities. I'm so grateful to have found a gym I truly feel is a second home for me, and I won't be switching gyms any time soon. Try a trial day and see for yourself, but I promise you won't regret it!”

“Was looking for a gym and found Landform fitness. The trainers are very helpful and nice (Steven and Jose) they show you how to use the machines and guide you if you need it.”

“Awesome, friendly, and hard-working community! Did two drop-ins while here for work and absolutely loved the experience. One of the best CrossFit gym communities I I’ve ever encountered. You have to try this place.”
