    Ballast Crossfit is fantastic and it has a lot to do with the people that come here and Coach Zach's energy. When I first started at Ballast Crossfit I was ridiculously intimidated and told myself there was no way I'd be able to do a snatch, a split jerk or a clean. Lo and behold, 7 months later I'm the strongest I've ever been in my life and I can do all the lifts that I believed I couldn't do. Coach Zach is passionate about what he does, encouraging, and will tell you that you CAN perform something even when you don't believe in yourself. He's incredibly knowledgeable in the mechanics of each lift/movement and is able to break down each movement into digestible bits of information so that even the clumsiest person (like myself) can understand and do the workout properly. The workouts are scaled to each person's ability, so whether you're a novice like I was, or you're a seasoned CrossFitter, you'll find your place at this gym. Im very grateful to be a part of Ballast Crossfit; I've grown so much from since I've started and I continue to be challenged at a capacity that I didn't think I could ever reach. Come out and try it for yourselves :)

    I came to FLxR just to try it out and just loved the coaches, environment, people, and workouts. I…read moreget special attention from coaches when needed. The other members cheat you on and make you feel like you can accomplish CrossFit. There is a great variety of coaches for weight lifting, CrossFit, nutrition and range of motion. They are very supportive and motivating. I'll never go anywhere else.

    This is truly a special, special place that has changed my life for the better…read more I've been part of this fitness community for nearly 2 years now - I tried it on a Groupon whim, and it's become such an integral part of my wellness that I can't imagine ever going back to one of the soulless chain gyms. The amount of support that I receive from coaches and fellow athletes alike is something I wouldn't have believed existed, or known that I needed, until I experienced it firsthand. Instead of standing in line for equipment, we share and make sure everyone is taken care of. Instead of awkward silence in common areas, there is laughter and camaraderie. Instead of putting in my hour of exercise and clocking out for the day, there is constant motivation and support to better my health through nutrition challenges & resources. Everyone is cheered and celebrated equally - from the chubby girl in her first class doing the most scaled versions imaginable (that was me!) to the mutant superstar doing 48" box jumps and handstand push-ups like they're nothing (still not me, but maybe someday?). People in all walks of life and in all stages of fitness are welcomed into the fold. This community support is the foundation on which all of my accomplishments and improvements have been built. I can't say enough great things about the owners and coaches. This special place is clearly a product of their passion for helping people be their best selves. The class sizes are never too large for the coach to give everyone personal attention and instruction on the technical movements. Even with someone as uncoordinated as myself who needs things explained to them every time like it's my first time, they're patient and generous with their attention and help. With their help, I've done so many things I'd never imagined myself doing (HSPU and rope climbs? Ahhh!). In FLxR's walls, I have celebrated many many firsts and PRs. I feel stronger and more confident in my body's abilities than I've ever felt in my life. I've gone from dreading WOD every day to wanting, or rather NEEDING it (it's better than therapy). I'm no longer obese, no longer pre-diabetic, am completely anti-depressant free and thriving... I can't wait to see where I am in another year! I highly recommend FLxR to anyone looking to become a better, healthier version of you. Whether you're just starting down that road and looking for a judgment-free zone to start in, or you're already bad-ass and looking to improve your next open scores to the top 1%... or anywhere in between, I think there is no better place to do it. ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~~~~~~~~~ My original Review, from 2017: I drank the kool aid. I joined the cult. I fell in love with cross fit. Today is the last day of my one-month groupon and I am signing on to be a regular member. The first week was scary and intimidating. I came in overweight, NOT in shape, and terrified of all the scary looking equipment and giant weights. But the awesome coaches and friendly classmates helped me through it. No one ever made me feel silly for having to use the training bar with no weights on it while the gal next to me is lifting a bar bigger than she is. And i didn't receive an ounce less of encouragement. Every workout i survived felt like an accomplishment, boosting my self-esteem and desire to come back. The second week was hard and reluctant. I was tired and sore. There were days I took the 'just get yourself here' very literally and told myself I'd just show up and half-ass it - but of course the motivation in the air is so infectious, it's impossible to not give it your all once you're there. By the third week, it had become a staple in my day. There are days when I'm excited and can't wait for the class, and there are other days I come in tired/stressed/sore/depressed/hungover dragging myself in and whining through the warmup, but every time I leave at the end of the class i feel like a rockstar and have no pain, am full of energy, and with a big smile on my face. And the times when a trainer notices my progress and comments on it, it sends my mood soaring even higher. In the month I've been coming (5 days a week), I've lost 13lbs and one pants size. my body feels firmer. i can see muscle definition peeking out from under the receding fat. but forget all of that (yeah that's the reason i initially signed up, but now it's only a happy side effect) now i'm more excited that I'm finally off the training bar and onto the big girl bar and adding weights to it. That i'm able to finish the workouts. That i'm already down-scaling considerably less than I was a month ago. These accomplishments make me feel better about myself. I feel stronger and more powerful... I feel confident and motivated. I feel happier and healthier. I feel good. All of these factors together have contributed to me making more progress than I'd imagined was possible in only one month.

    Great gym and community. I've been a member since about the second week they opened in October…read more2024. It was a great change for me considering coming back from a injury (looking for a place with low impact on the knees). After contacting them on their instagram page, I went to the gym to check it out before the scheduled time of my one day pass. Cassie (the owner) is very friendly and gave a brief run down of the class and want to expect. I had my struggles coming back from injury and three months of inactivity, but the coaches and community were such a great source of encouragement and motivation. Coaches are always there to help motivate you, and the community is very much down to earth and more of a family and not uptight or clickish in comparison to other places I've been to. That's obvious when there's a newcomer checking the place out and they get introduced to current members as someone just there for a trial, or looking for a partner. If you're looking for a new place to work out or looking for a new community (maybe to those new in the area) I'd certainly recommend coming and giving P360 San Marcos a try. Coaches are wonderful, community is great, and the workouts are a lot of work, but our community makes it fun. Great job to the staff.

They're challenging but structured in a way that keeps you motivated. Since I started, I've gotten noticeably stronger and I'm lifting more weight than I ever thought I could. That progress feels really good. The coaches are excellent. They pay attention to form, push you when you need it, and make sure you're training safely. The programming is well thought out and keeps things interesting, so it never feels repetitive. The community is also very supportive. Everyone encourages each other, which makes it easier to stay consistent. The facility is clean, organized, and has everything you need for strength and conditioning training. Overall, I would highly recommend this gym to anyone looking to get stronger and stay accountable. It's been totally worth it for me.
