This is why I hate yelp...5 stars just isn't enough for this CrossFit box. Came to town and decided to drop in last minute. Owner/coach Zach greeted us and was so welcoming, taking the time to introduce us to all the members in the class. His coaching style is legit. He's old school CrossFit and cares about his class. Proper warmup, explanation and technique work for the workout and attention to detail during the workout. We just dropped in, but if you're looking for a new CrossFit home, I wouldn't hesitate. The box vibe here was amazing and every local should be taking advantage of having it close by. Zach is what every box owner should be and creates a great environment.

Ballast is one of the best! Was in town for 3 days and took 5 classes. Did a few morning classes and a few evening classes. I drop in wherever I travel, and this experience was one worthy of a 5 star review. As a newer "crossfitter" I really appreciated the coaches coaching me on how to improve my movements/lifts. I have a lot of growth to do, and this place and their coaches will get you to where you want/need! Thanks again, BallastCrossfit!

This is an amazing place full of awesome people. I had been out of a gym for a while a nervous to try a new one. As soon as I walked in, the owner Zach, was so nice and helpful and I got set up for a free intro class. Everyone was so kind and not pushy at all. I absolutely loved my experience and signed up for a membership. All the members and staff are encouraging, with health competition, no drama and just trying to help each other be our best! My only regret is not joining sooner!! Come join this awesome community!

An absolutely wonderful community!! I’ve been to many CrossFit gyms and this one is best of the best when it comes to coaching and community. Everyone is so welcoming. The coaches Zach, Franny, and Chris not only know their stuff and constantly strive to learn more, but also make you feel supported no matter what skill level you’re at. If you’re a newbie, a CrossFit vet, or anywhere in between, please do future you a favor and come here!! We love Ballast!!

Ballast CrossFit is hands down the best fitness club I have ever been to. The coaches are incredibly knowledgeable and motivating, always pushing me to challenge myself and improve my form. But what really sets this gym apart is the sense of community you feel when you walk through the door. Everyone is so friendly and supportive, it feels like a second home. And let's not forget how fun the workouts are! Every session is a new challenge and I leave feeling accomplished and energized. If you're looking for a Box that will not only help you achieve your goals, but also provide a welcoming and fun environment, then Ballast CrossFit is the place for you. 5 stars all the way!

Great atmosphere, amazing community, and outstanding staff! The staff, coaches, and management are top notch! Making sure from the moment you reach out to walking into a class, you are family. The coaches are great at leading the class and helping athletes scale appropriately to their fitness level. The community is like no other!!! Everyone is welcoming and very optimistic about their fitness journey. Ballast is a safe atmosphere! I am always able to let go of life’s struggles when I walk in to train. I am able to surround myself with likeminded people in the pursue of health and wellness, not ego. I have personally grown to be a better human at Ballast and there’s no place in the world like it or comes close to it!!

Huge shout out to Ballast Crossfit for having me last week during a work trip. Coaches Zach and Chris (also met Franny who was taking class) were awesome, super accommodating, and did great jobs with all the classes. Worked out 4 out of the 5 days I was on deck and felt some awesome vibes from the membership. Everyone was so friendly and welcoming, even at 6am! Definitely a great drop-in box and if I lived in the area, would 100% be a member. Having done Crossfit for almost 10 years, coached, and visited many other boxes, this one ranks at the top! Have fun with the Open this week!

Hidden gem of Oceanside and I'm lucky to have found it. I was never a big fan of conventional weights and Ballast taught me to love lifting heavy in every other way but conventional. I encourage anyone who lacks motivation to give CrossFit here a try. You'll be challenged and you'll have fun doing it. Love the hype, love the people. It's awesome to see everyone working on something different in their fitness journey and to see all skill levels come together to tackle those WODS week after week.
