Chris Keith is a game changer. I found his private fitness training studios on Yelp and I started training with him in January of 2019 when I was at a low point in my personal life and struggling with the pressures of my demanding job. Chris helped me turn all this around through not only improving my health, fitness, and physique--but through my attitude and ability to push through tough workouts and tough times in life. I cannot recommend my trainer Chris Keith enough. His private studios are INCREDIBLY CLEAN. Unlike regular gyms, the studios and equipment are cleaned regularly and the clients who share the space are all like-minded and keep the gym very very clean. Additionally, cleaning and maintenance crews come regularly to make sure the equipment is functioning perfectly and is pristine, disinfected, and sanitized. Chris has become more than a trainer to me. He is someone who pushes me to be my best self, motivates me to work hard for the sound mind and body I've always wanted, and he makes everything fun. Personal Training with Chris has changed my life and both he and the studios are worth every penny. As someone who isn't a "gym person", I've always felt comfortable because Chris is very personable and his other clients are friendly, welcoming, fun (and some are wildly hilarious...which always makes a great start to my mornings)! If you're looking to get fit, push yourself, and change your life for the better, I assure you there is no better trainer than Chris Keith. He's the best investment in regards to health and you deserve it. You've got this!!! read more

I am still working out with Chris regularly and consistently. Chris truly is more than just a trainer, as a person that always asks a lot of questions regarding health, Chris also gives me guidance in nutrition, recovery health and other tips to make my fitness journey more effective. There is no gym or trainer in San Diego who cares about his clients as much as Chris, which is why I have been training with him for a quite a while now. Quality matters in a trainer just as much as in the client and how they show up in and out the gym, and Chris is that, a top quality trainer that just can't be beaten. Let alone, as a woman that gets intimidated by large crowded gyms, Chris' gym is like a safe place to me. Everyone who works out with Chris knows each other and it feels like a family-vibe whenever you go with just amazing people around. Chris is the best trainer in San Diego with the best gym in all of San Diego, and I could not recommend him more to anyone who is interested in starting their fitness journey! Thank you Chris! read more

Chris Keith Personal Training - Trainers Near Me - San Diego, California

I can't say enough great things about Chris Keith Personal training. Since Thanksgiving 2025, Chris has helped me lose 27 pounds, but more importantly, I've gained so much happiness and confidence in just those few short weeks. His support and motivation truly make a difference every single session. He not only wants to make you look and feel your best, but also cares about you as a person. Because of the positive impact he's had on me, my husband has now joined and started training with him as well. I recommend Chris to everyone I know and I'm so excited to see how much more strength, confidence, and progress I will gain over the next year and beyond! Thank you for everything, Chris! read more

Biggest takeaway from training with Chris was learning how to brace for heavy weightlifting to keep my low back healthy. As a trainer he is like having a hybrid physical therapist/strength coach. Definitely worth the investment if you are serious about results. His facility is the most well equipped gym I have ever been to. Traditional strength equipment with all the functional stuff you ever imagined. Plenty of reserved parking for members, free unlimited bottled water, clean gym towels for every workout. Last but not least Cooper the Gym Dog is the best . Love that guy . Highly recommend hiring Chris as your guide to fitness. read more

Chris is so dedicated like no other personal trainer I've ever seen. He doesn't only care about your physical appearance or strength but at the same time your emotional well being as well. He's using all the connections he has to make you feel good, happy and well in any aspects of life. I've worked with him only for a year but I know that I made a friend for life time! Highly recommend him to anyone who wants to train with an absolute professional read more

Chris is the real deal. Been working with Chris for a bit over 3 months. Helped me lose 40lbs and build more muscle and definition with a focus on sustainable incremental growth, including outside of the gym with consistent personalized guidance on nutrition and attitude. He makes it simple. I have anxiety and get analysis paralysis. Working with Chris has helped me not worry about the specifics, I just have to do what Chris says, and I know results will come. His gym is a great place to workout. Very clean, well equipped, and spacious, with a good environment of people working to improve. Chris is always a friendly presence, and makes each session feel like working out with your (extra knowledgeable and attentive) gym buddy. Highly recommend connecting with Chris if you have goals you want to meet, and discussing how you can work together to build a plan to reach those goals. read more

It is no exaggeration to say that training with Chris truly turned my health around. In midlife I found myself with 20 stubborn pounds to lose, pre-diabetic, and other health markers trending in the wrong direction. I knew I needed to change my life and began working with Chris. During our first consultation he asked detailed questions about my history, physical limitations, and my specific goals. He tailored a very individual program for me, that both met me where I was but also pushed me enough to get amazing results. In just 10 weeks I've lost 9 lbs. (more than I've lost in years), gained strength, and feel better with more energy than I could have imagined. Equally, if not more importantly, working with Chris has given me a confidence in myself and my abilities that I had lost. Thank you, Chris. I am forever grateful. read more

I've been training on and off with Chris since 2003. He is extremely knowledgeable In regards to exercise science and always on the cutting edge with his approach. His gyms are immaculate. He's a total clean freak, a little OCD actually but I really appreciate it. The vibes in his gyms are super good and it's always a positive experience. He's the OG of Personal Training here in San Diego and by far the most experienced. If you're trying to lose weight or have some sort of injury that you're working around Chris is the guy to go to . read more

In 40 sessions and 3.5 months I lost 43lbs with Chris's training and guidance on health and fitness. Chris is a wonderful person to work with and the results speak volumes of his process - tailored to my abilities, low impact, and always safety first. Chris is a genius at showing you how to reach your best - I look forward to each and every one of our sessions. I'm in my early 40s, have never been athletic, and have had trouble losing weight over the past 10 years. I am so happy I entrusted Chris with my health and fitness goals that I committed to more sessions with him. I feel better than I ever have in my life - I go to sleep easily, wake up earlier, I'm not aching constantly - and the most profound thing to me is that I stress less about everything. read more

Chris Keith Personal Training - 40 sessions / 43lbs / 3.5 months - Trainers Near Me - San Diego, California

I am on my second round of training sessions with Chris and they have been invaluable! I came to him in December 2021 after having struggled with weight gain during the pandemic. He provided a nutrition plan along with prescribed cardio to do outside of our one on one sessions. He is very adaptable and works with me and my needs. For example, when I struggled with the food plan at first he came up with multiple alternatives and suggestions to keep me on track. During workouts he pushes me hard, but knows where the line is when I'm having an off day. The gym itself is well equipped and kept very clean! Chris also takes the time to go through proper warm up and stretching exercises for you to do before and after sessions and will track all your measurements for you to see progress being made. I would highly recommend him as a personal trainer! read more

I'm a 42 year old mom of 3 children. I've never been overweight, but I've also NEVER been lean or had any muscle definition. I was trying to workout, but i didn't know how to make it a priority. I was dissatisfied with my body, sad and flabby when I found Chris. I've been seeing Chris for 7.5 months now. I workout (weight training AND low impact cardio) 6-7 times per week, and I LOVE it. It took time and dedication, but the results are there! For the first time in my life, I'm lean with muscle definition. My before and now pictures are EVERYTHING! I see my abs and I feel how toned I am just rubbing a hand down my arm or over my stomach! He's taught me SO much about fitness and it all combines into a hugely successful plan. Chris's intensity makes me intense and focused when I step into his space. I want to go even further in my journey to lean and strong and I know with certainty that Chris can get me there. My husband, who is training for a half Ironman, saw my results and was SO impressed that he's started training with Chris too. We're totally hooked! Thanks CK! read more

I lost 53 pounds in one year with Chris Keith I have been training under Chris now for a year. I came into his gym weighing in at 243 pounds and I am proud to say that I am now weighing in at around 190 pounds. I was quite large and flabby but with time I am noticing amazing changes and toning up of my body. One thing you get when you train under Chris Keith is not only a great workout but also a deep learning of the ins and outs of fitness.I had been searching for a personal trainer for quite some time. I researched and met with several and each seemed to offer similar services. Most required that you sign up with some local gym etc. (Chris Keith owns his own gym and to me this is a big plus because this a serious place with serious patrons, not just a place to stand around and aimlessly chat as seen in so many other gyms). When I met with Chris Keith I knew this was the personal trainer I needed. First and foremost, Chris Keith is a straightforward kind of guy who knows his business and understands his clientele. In my initial discussion with Chris Keith, he asked me what I wanted, what my goals were, what I expected from him and wrote down all the pertinent information necessary. Only after listening to what I was looking for did he chime in telling me what he could do for me and what would be expected from me. From that first discussion he prepared an "attack plan" so to speak and from that we began my journey to fitness. Chris always reiterates: people are too concerned with the weight loss and are not looking at the bigger picture of getting fit and staying fit for life. Chris understands his clientele very well and gears the workouts towards the individual's specific needs rather than just being a generic training session. Each session is a one on one session. He gives that push when needed and encourages you to strive harder and farther. And if at times you seem to be going slightly off the path, Chris is there to put you back on it (I know, I have strayed a few times). I could go on and on. Chris Keith is an excellent trainer, personable and most importantly knowledgeable about fitness and pulls from his experience to help guide you on your personal fitness journey. read more

Chris Keith Personal Training - Trainers Near Me - San Diego, California

I found Chris online one weekend - traveling, feeling gross and out of shape. I would hit the gym regularly over the years, but eventually plateaued and just couldn't achieve any more on my own. I searched for, "best-trainer-San Diego", and there he was. Every trainer think's they're awesome at what they do and god knows I've wasted lots of money on many of them, but there's something really unique about Chris' recipe that I was thrilled to find. This time I wanted someone legit. The whole package. Meaning someone who not only looked the part, but also someone who was relatable. Someone educated, experienced and passionate in what they were preaching/teaching. Someone who could find that delicate balance of holding me accountable by leading me with just a liiiittle bit of fear (eat this, not that), while also remaining chill and totally approachable. That's Chris Keith. He's able to offer all of those things in an environment that's inclusive and works for anybody so long as you're willing to put in the work. And once you're in, you will. And progress is addicting. His gym is large, clean, FUN, conveniently located and has everything you could possibly need (including great music and immaculate bathrooms). Even equipment you never knew existed that somehow is totally necessary. About 10 months in and I've truly never felt or looked better and plan to continue on this journey. If you're looking to take your fitness game to the next level, or happen to be a total beginner in need of that lifestyle change - do yourself a favor and check, him, out. Now, it's an inve$tment - for sure, but nothing more worthy than one towards good health. Thanks a Mil, CK! read more

Chris lets you know exactly what you can expect - through one on one leadership and motivation during your training session, he takes your goal and always has that in mind as to your next step throughout your training process with him. He will evaluate your weaknesses early on to insure you are making strides in developing and getting better so these are no longer perceived weaknesses. He is encouraging throughout your training and does immense follow up whether email or texts to insure you are staying on track when you are not around him. Chris is so passionate about his profession. Chris is so knowledgeable of most everything that you eat and can describe why it can be a good or bad choice. Highly recommend Mr. Keith. I am one of these people that have personal accountability issues with my eating habits and workout and fitness program, so I need a Personal Trainer to provide that mentor-ship, and if you want results, that stay with you , he is your first choice. Plus, he has a big beautiful gym that you will train in. read more

When I was getting married a few years ago I needed some motivation to get healthy and in shape (and ready to look stunning in my wedding dress!). After doing a ton of research on Personal Trainers in San Diego I reached out to Chris Keith. All my anxieties and concerns went away just after our initial phone call! Chris was genuinely excited about my goals; and my short timeline didn't seem to be an issue, nor did my schedule, always accommodating as best as he can. His years of experience and motivating, coach-like style helped me lose 20 pounds by my wedding date; and not only did I reach my weight loss goal, but I had NO idea my body could feel and look the way it did! Chris is a phenomenal trainer because he doesn't have you jumping through hoops in order to get a good workout. He takes you back to basics. He constantly checks your form and as you get stronger he challenges you with new moves and heavier weight. I definitely noticed a major difference in my personal strength. He is also very encouraging. There were times I really struggled with the process--with nutrition, mental stress, self-doubt; and he was always there to talk me through it, even on days I didn't see him. Post wedding I went MIA for a few months (enjoying married life and traveling); and Chris often reached out to me to see how my travels were and give recommendations on places to see and restaurants to try. He truly cares for his clients like friends or family; and I saw that immediately in his interactions with clients during my initial assessment and throughout my sessions. When I would get down on myself (guilty I didn't stay up on my fitness), he would send positive and encouraging texts and even send me workouts I could do to get back in the routine. I know his gym door is always open to me; and I'll be back after I have my baby this summer! I cannot say enough good things about this wonderful human who just happens to be a personal trainer. If you are one who needs help being accountable and positively supported Chris is the one for you! read more

This squeaky clean gym has everything you want and the personal training to help you attain your fitness goals. I absolutely love this place. The equipment is excellent and every piece is maintained and sparkly. The atmosphere has a rugged charm and there's an amazing bay breeze that allows you to workout like a champ. Chris is the master of his trade. He is the quintessential personal trainer who assists you in all of your physical pursuits. read more

Chris, Eloquently worded for the sake of yelp readers, but unfortunately far from true. I have been contacted by several of your female clients expressing the same feelings about your "personal training" sessions. You could not even make up your mind as to what shoes I should wear, let alone my deadlift form. Instructing me to watch a YouTube video of another trainer. Then when I do it that way, you scream at me and tell me to forget the video. What a joke! You still have not returned my money for the unused 20 sessions, so if you were sincere you would have put the check in the mail. I am still at the same address. Put your money where your mouth is, and save us both time in court. read more

Chris is first and foremost knowledgeable about what he does. He takes pride in his work. But he also is fun and has cultivated a great culture at his gym so you can look forward to showing up. Add to that he keeps the gym stocked with the latest equipment. Cutting edge stuff I've never even seen before. Chris's gym has become part of my routine. read more

My husband and I started training with Chris 5/13/19 and I wish we would have started a year ago when I decided I needed the help and motivation from a personal trainer. I had done a lot of research and before I made the call to Chris. I knew he would be just the person to help get my booty back in shape, but sadly I felt I needed to get in better shape prior to starting. My plan was to lose to weight and and then call....that didn't happen. Learn from my mistake-don't delay on your health. Make the call now! Chris is wonderful; his years of experience show when he is training you. He is patient and serious about proper form to avoid injury. He doesn't want us injured as much as we don't want to be injured. He is always upbeat and motivates us. I leave each session feeling better about myself than when I came. Chris set us up with proper nutrition-his first 30 day food plan is no joke, but works! My eating habits have changed and it's been great. I have so much more energy to keep up with my kiddos at home. I was the type of person who avoided gyms at all cost and when I went, I only would use the treadmill for 45-60 min and called it a day. I can now say I love going to the gym and miss it when I can't make it in. When you train with Chris you get access to his PRIVATE gym which is clean and has everything you'd ever need. I can't say enough good things about Chris, he has changed my outlook on working out and I can't wait to see what the future holds for my family's fitness goals. Thanks Chris, you're the best! read more

Great space. Superior people. Incredible energy. Highly recommended. Invigorating workouts administered by experienced instructors who actually know what they're preaching. Their instructions and guidelines are very easy to follow and the daily WODs are scaled to fit your needs. My forms and techniques have improved a whole lot since I first started and I no longer look like Fat Amy. Greatest thanks to my coach, Chung, "Da Cross Fit King". He empowers and challenges everyone who steps into the gym and encourages everyone to reach their full potential. read more

I know nothing about Crossfit. I contact Coach Chris and made an appointment for the intro and met up with Coach Chung. The intro went well, he was very knowledgable, and was able to answer all the questions I asked. I then I signed up for a commitment and attended my first class this morning. I am way out of shape, could barely hang on a bar with my feet off the ground but I was still able to get a workout in. Coach Chung was able to help me modify some of the workouts because I wasn't able to do it the advance way yet. I did the best I could and felt really good about how hard I pushed myself. So far, I like it, I will continue to come and hopefully soon, I will start seeing results. read more

The gym is very spacious and well equipped! Everyone there are very friendly! They are so encouraging, the positive energy gives me the mental boost to push through my current limit. Coach Chung knows what he is talking about! His directions are very clear and he always believes in me. He is very observant and would come and correct my form during the workout. Even tho the WODs are scaled down to fit my ability, I still feel the full intensity and I can feel myself getting stronger after each session. I'm confident that I'll be able to keep improving and do an unmodified WOD in no time! read more

I have been Cross-fitting for about 3 years now and I can't say enough about this gym. The programming is intense and focuses on building strength and an all-around athlete. The members are all hardworking and treat you as family, which is great for new members. It can be intimidating when you first start, but the current members make it a welcoming, yet competitive atmosphere that in turn makes your workout that much better and pushes you to become better. The coaches. Every coach there is passionate about Cross Fit, making you better and helping you achieve your goals. Coach Chung truly is one in a million! He is attentive to every athlete and genuinely wants to see you succeed. His close attention to detail on your movements and his teaching style/technique make him stand out among the rest. Cross Fit 619 brings in amazing coaches and each one has a different style of teaching that makes you constantly learn more and become better, stronger, and faster. read more

Love this gym !!! Chris has exceeded my expectations since I have started training. Exercise and diet plan enabled 30 lb weight loss in 6 weeks. Very well rounded workouts but specifically tailored to your goals both short and long-term. Highly recommend. read more

CrossFit 619 as an institution has been one of the mainstays in the San Diego location. Chris runs a great gym and brings aboard trainers that follow his passion for helping people. Chris and his crew have a knowledge base that extends beyond CrossFit, and they bring all that to the table when coaching their athletes. Whether you are trying to become stronger or faster, or perhaps up your olympic lifting games somebody on staff is able to help. CrossFit 619 only got better with the new, bigger, and easy to access facility. Wooden Olympic lifting platforms are evenly mixed with rubber CrossFit space so there is plenty of room to workout. If you are a beginner or a veteran, I highly recommend CrossFit 619, especially if you are in the central San Diego/Linda Vista area. read more

Yeah Buddy! CrossFit 619 is the real deal. Strong and smart coaching and programming. Good equipment and big space to train in. Coach Chung rocks! as well as the other trainers on site. CrossFit is the way if your looking to improve your health, movement, fitness or strength and conditioning. Jump in if your in the San Diego area and give them a try. You can thank me for it later:) read more

Can't say enough positive comments about this box. I'm new to crossfit and this was the second box I dropped into outside my home in Washington, DC area. Facility: Nicely set up with quality equipment, clean, and friendly and open environment. They have great parking all around the area, so that is not a problem at all. Coaches: Wonderful. I told them I was still a beginner and they were very kind, patient, and very cool when correcting me a couple times when my technique became lazy. From the moment I walked in the door, I felt welcome. Other Crossfitters: I worked out with about 6 or 7 other cross fitters. It was the 400p class so not too crowded. The "locals" were all very very friendly. I felt very welcome as a drop in. All in all, I would highly recommend this box as a permanent home or for drop ins who visit the SD area. I'm glad I found this place and will always go back when I visit SD. read more

I tried out the $35 for a week trial and had an awesome experience. Being newer to Crossfit, the instructors gave me a lot of individual attention during training. Chung's workouts were organized and intense; my abs were sore for days afterwards. The atmosphere is upbeat and the people are friendly, this is a gym I would recommend to any veteran or newbie crossfitter. read more

It's hard to believe that I've been working our here for two and a half years! I can't say enough good stuff about CrossFit 619. I enjoy the diversity of the coaches and their teaching styles. There's a great variety of class times so I can always work it into my schedule. The gains I've made in fitness are fantastic. It's great feeling confident in a bikini. Seriously, not to brag but I'm thrilled with the results from working out at CrossFit 619. The other gym members make workouts fun. Everyone is friendly and has a great attitude which really helps keep me motivated. If you're looking to improve your fitness, do yourself a favor and check them out read more

I have been going to regular gyms for many years before I tried CrossFit, but ever since I joined CrossFit 619 3 years ago, I cannot imagine doing just regular workouts any more. I like the many aspects of CrossFit, especially the gymnastics and olympic weightlifting, as they are more technical and require dedication. Also I like the good mix of strength, power,endurance, and skill development as well as cardio workouts. I often visit other CrossFit boxes during business trips, but I must say that no other box that I have seen so far could beat 619. Just love the atmosphere, my friends (athletes and coaches) and the programming.Also highly recommended is coach Chris' convention center workout! Keep up the great work, Chris, Taylar, David, Katie, and Christina! read more

I'm brand new to crossfit and was pretty nervous to join but the coaching staff here has been amazing. They are diligent in teaching me the correct techniques so I can build strength the right way, without hurting myself. It's amazing that they can tailor their training so that a newbie like me can stand next to others who have been crossfitting for years. There's always two coaches so you get more than enough one-on-one attention. For not taking a single crossfit class before stepping in the door a few months ago, I've already learned so much! The icing on the cake is the 619 community. My fiancé and I were welcomed with open arms. Day one, minute one, people were introducing themselves. I knew it was a good decision to join when I felt the encouragement from not only the coaches but everyone in class. My fiancé recently deployed. When I took a few days away from the gym, Coach CK reached out to check in on me. It meant the world that he sincerely cared. Love you, CrossFit 619!!! Coach CK, Chung, Teshina, Bob, and Josh are total bad*sses! Thank you for taking so much time in training your newbie! read more

I've been a client of 619 Personal Training for about 8 months now. Not only am I extremely happy with the training and nutrition guidance, I think it has been one of my best life decisions! I initially signed up for 40 sessions, after which I was very satisfied, so I decided I would keep working out with Chris for at least a full year. As far as my goals, I had been skinny pretty much my entire life.  I had tried to bulk up and gain weight multiple times in the past, trying different programs, books, trainers, etc. Nothing quite had a lasting impact.  About 7 years ago I mostly gave up trying and instead began wearing slimmer fitting clothes to give the illusion of looking fit LOL.   But skinny doesn't necessarily mean healthy, even though most people assume that when they see someone who is thin.  I'd had a few health scares in the past couple years.  Also losing a dear family member made me wake up and realize how truly short life really is.   When researching trainers, I contacted 9 gyms and trainers in the area, and most either didn't do that much in-person 1-on-1 training, or catered more to groups or worked out of gyms full of other people.  I guess it's hard to explain but other gyms also seemed a bit too 'commercialized' and Chris and his gym seemed more genuinely client-focused without the extra flashiness.  He seemed less concerned about 'selling' me and more about learning about my personal health, my fitness goals and understanding/listening. I started in February 2018, weighing about 140-145lbs.  In the first 3 months, my weight shot up to about 165-170lbs, and over time, I have also been gaining a lot more strength. To give some added perspective, when I started out at 140-145lbs, I could barely survive 15min on a stairmaster without feeling like I was going to die. I could also barely do 10-15 pushups, and only 1-2 chin ups with a lot of difficulty. But today, 8 months later, I weigh roughly 180lbs, and I can breeze through 50 minutes of stairmaster (on a higher level), do 20+ pushups with ease, and do roughly 4-5 chin ups and 2-4 pull ups (give or take depending on my level of energy and timing in a workout session). I can also lift heavier weights. Not only that, but I feel my posture has improved tremendously, the slight strain I had in my left shoulder is completely gone, and I recover so fast from workouts. I'm very happy with my level of conditioning. You can tell that Chris truly cares about each client. A friend of mine also chose to workout with him, and although she absolutely hates exercising, I could tell a difference in her attitude towards the workouts with Chris. In the sessions, I like how Chris has a sense of my energy levels that day, so he won't push too hard, but also is aware of the times I'm 'in the zone' and helps to nudge me to challenge myself harder than I would do myself if I had been working out alone. Overall I really appreciate his focus on proper nutrition, exercise form, and focusing on longevity and overall fitness rather than short-term results. The gym itself is excellent.  Very big and airy with lots of cool breezes, making you feel like you're working out in the perfect temperature outdoors, even though you're actually indoors.  It's nice being able to go there for cardio when I need to, and it's always very clean and well-kept.  He also has a bookshelf that he occasionally refers to, and I've learned so much not just about the movements, but also about posture, the importance of incorporating cardio, certain stretches, etc.   There's a few downsides, though they're not downsides per se: - Although I'm able to go to the 619 gym any time myself and workout there in private, it's about 20min from where I live, so I recently purchased a second gym membership that's just 1 mile away from my home to do my cardio (to save driving time). - Since I've gained a lot of lean body mass, I've had to frequently buy new clothes as my weight has been changing over the last several months. I wouldn't say this is exactly too bad either, but it's something I didn't expect, because I didn't realize my results would be that drastic - Trying to gain weight means having to eat more, which means more cooking, more washing dishes, and so on. While this is a bit of a hassle, it has taught me to be more efficient... it definitely requires a good amount of extra time and discipline outside of the gym to meet my goals, including trying to also sleep more, but the extra time taken has also saved me some money because now I eat out somewhat less frequently Overall, aside from the weight gains, cardio improvement and general better wellbeing, I've noticed that I sleep much better and consume considerably less caffeine, yet have much more energy than ever before.  I also feel more confident.  Now that I've gotten past a milestone that I never thought possible, it's made me think about what else I could possibly accomplish given the right teacher. read more

This place is amazing. The coaches and the members make sure you feel at home the minute you walk into the box. I did my very 1st "drop in" yesterday and I have to say I was extremely nervous. I didn't know what to expect going in as an outsider. But when I walked in I was greeted by Kris and Chung and immediately felt I had picked the right place for me. Chung was my 1st coach he was great! He kept an eye on my technique and even pushed me during my wod. Mrs. T is amazing! She was my coach today. (Day 2) She helped me improve my technique and even helped me PR on my bench press! Yay! This place is great! read more

I have been an active member of Crossfit 619 for a long time. I have chosen to stick around over the years because they always have the most incredible, knowledgeable, and helpful trainers in the area! Coach Chung, Bob, and Tishina. Being a bit older than most other cross fitters and more prone to injuries; they are very conscious of your form and weight you are using, and provide great supervision and encouragement. The atmosphere is energizing, and the other members are awesome, and the weekly programming makes it more challenging from day to day. Everyone there continually help and encourage all athletes working out. The work outs are very hard, but being a part of the group workout and strength training is like no other workout. read more

The coaches here are exceptional. They find the right balance to push you and to keep you safe. Crossfit 619 is perfect for all levels of fitness. The facility is wide open so you don't feel like you are working out in a closet in a strip mall. There is plenty of ventilation, a lot of space, and all the equipment that you need. The community at 619 is welcoming and supportive. Come in and try it out. read more

I started training with Chris 3 years ago and my results are amazing. Besides losing weights he helped me to get back to the old me. No bad eating habits anymore, less stress. He supported me to take the time for myself and reach my goals. Chris is very knowledgeable, has over 20 years experience in personal training and knows how to push, support and coach his clients! Thanks to Chris, you're a great coach! read more

The coaching staff here is next level and the programming is always challenging. No matter what level of fitness you currently find yourself in this gym will push you to become better. The expertise and knowledge of mobility, strength, conditioning and gymnastics never ceases to amaze me. The community at 619 is incredible. No matter what time you come in for class you will be sure to be energized and encouraged by fellow athletes. Definitely give 619 a look because you won't find a better gym. read more

I've been around CF for 5 years and have been a part of different gyms. CF 619 has one of the biggest n nicest facilities and plenty of equipment so you never have to worry about space, sharing equipment, which also means they're not limited in their programming of the WOD because of it. The most important thing in finding the right gym is excellent coaching. CF's biggest risk is injury because you are performing complex movements with weights at high intensity. Even if u have perfect form, as u fatigue and our egos push us more than we should, our form breaks down. But very few people have perfect form to begin with, especially beginners who have not been taught and have physical limitations (flexibility, injuries, etc.). If u do CF with bad form, you are an injury waiting to happen because you're stressing ur joints/muscles the wrong way and it's only a matter of time before it breaks down. This is why coaching is so important for ur health and longevity. Take it from someone who didn't do it right when I started CF and now have a bulging disk that I live with forever. There are coaches and there are coaches. There are the ones who coach cuz they love CF themselves but don't really have a passion to study not only the movements but how to teach the technique, and they're not willing to put in the hard work to ensure the members have correct form. They simply go over the WOD and the movement and tell ppl to get after it. It's one thing to know how to perform a movement but a completely different thing to teach others and trouble shoot their problems by recognizing what's holding the person back and then knowing what to do to fix it so he/she can perform the movement. Personally, I can teach a movement but I don't know how to troubleshoot if someone can't perform it. And me demonstrating the form again isn't gonna help that person. That's why Chung is so amazing. First, he's truly a great person who's kind, friendly, and genuinely loves people. He's a student of CF who never stops increasing his knowledge by going to seminars and learning new techniques and mobility WODs to better help members learn movements, troubleshoot limitations, and with recovery/maintenance. He's super knowledgeable and always helps me with my problems with my bulging disk so that when I workout, I'm strengthening my body instead of hurting it by doing bad form or things that aren't good for my back. He's super patient and takes the time to hear you out and then prescribe what u need. He's also great with nutrition advice (e.g. paleo, zone, intermittent fasting) so he can provide the whole package to help you achieve your fitness goals. After all, diet is a huge part of getting fit and good health. As an experienced crossfitter, I gotta say CF 619 is one of the best gyms I've been to and Chung is hands down one of the best coaches out there. It's worth it to drive a little farther or pay more to protect ur health and longevity. Don't get injured cuz injuries stay with u forever and it takes u out of the game~ read more
