My girlfriend introduced me to working out and this gym. I tried it out with the three day trial, keep in mind I had hardly ever worked out before, the coaches are all so nice and really helped out with my form. They had a three month membership special so I said fuck it and I do not regret it. I feel so much better about myself, and my girl said I have back muscles now, she showed me a picture and I was like damnnnn that's me?!? Now it's my girl, and our two friend that are members at this gym. Five stars is the least they deserve. read more

I started Crossfit in 2011 at Crossfit San Diego. Small close community of like minded people just working out and getting in better health. I stated coaching there in 2015. The gym closed in 2016 and I needed/ wanted to find another gym that has the same small family community like feeling. Tried a big name gym for about two months and then a fellow crossfiter said I should check out Crossfit Collaboration. In May of 2016 I contacted the owner Carlos and stated my situation and he said come check them out. A few weeks later I walked in and met Coach Alex who made us feel welcome. I brought my entire family who also does crossfit and we all looked at each other after the class and said this feels like CFSD. Everyone was and is friendly and welcoming. Now almost a year later I am now lucky enough to help coach all the great members and others become more fit and healthy. I highly recommend if you are in the Chula Vista or Southday area of San Diego drop in and check them out. You will not be disappointed. read more

While many people will say that their crossfit gym creates a sense of community among its members, Crossfit Collaboration offers that and so much more. Recently revamped, this gym has plenty of equipment to accommodate a large class, as well as provides a clean and open space. There is a separate lobby where my 3 kids hang out, eat snacks, and do their homework. I can glance at them every now and then, while getting a great workout. There are at least 5 classes during the week to choose from, in addition to open gym times. Crossfit Collaboration also uses Wodify, an app members download on their phone. Some of its cool features are that I am able to view workouts (past and present), keep track of my progress, check in to class, and, for fun and a little friendly competition, compare my daily performance to other members of the gym. Aside from its convenience, the people at Crossfit Collaboration truly make it the gym that I want to be part of. Coach Craig and Coach Carlos are knowledgeable and wonderful people. I feel I wouldn't have stuck with crossfit for this long, as well as become the strongest I have ever been, if it wasn't for them, as well as my fellow "snatches" (aka fellow gym attendees). Crossfit has enhanced my life. I am a busy mother, wife, and special education teacher. I have the energy, confidence, and physical strength to meet the demands at home and with my job. My body has changed since I started crossfit, and though I may not have a 6 pack, I wouldn't trade the strength and stamina I have gained since I started over a year ago. Crossfit Collaboration is the perfect place to fall in love crossfit! read more

Wow!! This place is amazing! Everyone is so welcoming. I dropped in while in town for the weekend and I felt like I had already been there before. Definitely got that community feel. Can't wait to drop in again. read more

My experience has been that the coaches at Collab really get to know who you are, your strengths, your challenges, and what your goals are. I never hesitate to ask a question and I look forward immensely to see the coaches and cheer my friends on every day after work. I'm particularly impressed by the many parents who get their workout in as they model healthy living for their kids who come and watch. Thank you, Carlos and coaches!! read more

I started crossfit training at one of the original boxes in Chula Vista a few years ago and then took a break. My first day at Crossfit Collaboration was a seamless transition. The trainers were knowledgeable, friendly, and will kick your ass with tough workouts and encouragement. This box has all of the best equipment that any person, novice or experienced, would need to get a thorough workout. When I walked through the doors, everyone greeted me. It felt like a community from the start. There's a culture in Crossfit where everyone working out encourages one another and this gym certainly has that energy. Highly recommend. read more

I been to a lot of crossfit gyms but this one is by FAR the best one. Located in a great area in Chula Vista. Coach Craig and coach Carlos are amazing at what they do. The athletes I met here are nice and really help each other out. It's a nice community, everybody is pushing each other to achieve their goals all in a safe environment it's like being with family. Looking forward to getting my health back in track plus getting stronger together. I highly suggest you come check it out and give it a shot! read more

I became a member at Crossfit Collaboration on November of 2016 and have been very pleased. I have tried 2 different gyms in the past that resulted in disappointment. I take my workouts serious and I expect my coaches to take me serious as well. At Crossfit Collaboration there is always someone to teach you, guide you, and become a better you. It does feel like a family and not just a gym who's main goal is to collect that payment at the end of the month, and not care about its athletes. If you are looking for a gym that provides you with great service, great training, and a great environment to grow I highly recommend you to come in and check it out... you got nothing to loose! read more

Owner promised to get back to me regarding an issue with my membership. Few months passed - nothing. Tried contacting him again and no reply. Would have of appreciated an update. read more

Been going here since it opened. Coaches are great, and observant during class compared to another Crossfit box I visited a few times. The other place I checked out the coaches spent more time texting behind a counter or chatting, and it was to crammed with people. This place limits the number people each class for safety and manageability reasons. I've taken some coworkers here on a Saturday and they were very focused on guiding them in proper movement during the workout. My coworkers told me they loved how everyone in the class and coaches were so nice and welcoming. Just FYI, their 10:30 am class on Saturdays are free!! Yes just like every fitness type business you do sign a waiver. Other than that just walk into the door. read more

I have been to a few CrossFit gyms in San Diego and CrossFit Collaboration has been the most genuine to me! I walked in and was just welcomed with open arms and felt the community immediately. I love the community and the coaches are phenomenal. They always include you in activities in and out of the gym. And for the workouts, they make sure everyone is safe and scale appropriately so you get the best out of the workout! I recommend this CrossFit box to anyone! read more

Amazing gym! Coach Carlos and coach Craig are passionate about the sport and helping you reach your goals whether you are looking to compete or just have a more fit lifestyle. The sense of community here is awesome. Everyone is welcoming and encouraging. I'm so glad I found this gym :) read more

Awesome Crossfit facility/box and great coaches! Been a member for 2+ years and this place only keeps getting better. Coaches Craig, Serena, Carlos, Alex, Isaac, and AP keep me motivated to keep "signing in" and working out as much as possible. I learn something to better myself at every workout. Honestly, if it wasn't for the friendly athletes and coaches, I wouldn't be here 2+ years later. I am proud to be part of the Crossfit Collaboration family!! read more

I think the main reason people have not tried CrossFit is because they are intimidated. Crossfit Collaboration is comprised of people from beginners to advanced, ages 16-70! CrossFit Collaboration has truly made me stronger, not only physically but mentally. It has also helped change my views on body image, by encouraging women to be strong and proud of our accomplishments. It has changed my life and I have met some great people that I would have not otherwise had the chance to cross paths with. Coaches Craig and Carlos are fun and motivating while encouraging me to push myself. The box hours are great and accommodate early birds like me. It's always a treat to walk in and see Christy's smiley face who is very welcoming and supportive to everyone and of course the beautiful boxer mascot, Lily. There are many boxes in the area that help meet the needs of various athletes. Crossfit Collaboration is welcoming to all levels and I highly suggest you drop in to check it out. read more

This box is uhmazing! The coaches here are awesome and always give the members that extra push when needed! I never thought I'd do CrossFit because I thought it was for "fit" people only, but once I joined here, my mentality changed completely! CF is for all ages and it doesn't matter how "fit" you are. The members here all all so supportive and motivate each other, they're like family to me! I love hanging out here, the vibes are great! Not only have I gotten stronger physically, but also mentally! Come check it out, I'll be the one dancing while working out! muahaha! read more

I'm in my 9th month and I love it now more than ever! I'm extremely excited that I feel my muscles growing & sculpting my body. I can't fully see it yet cuz I have a lot of weight to lose but anyone can feel it. (I don't mind)Haha. It helps tremendously to change your diet. These coaches give you marvellous advice for that too. I've cut out breads and tortillas- wow, what a difference! I don't feel bloated anymore and it helps to curb my cravings for bread. These workouts are intense! So intense, it's taught me to make healthier food choices. I decide if I really want to work off whatever I'm going to eat. I have a long road ahead and I'm glad I chose this place to get me there. I'm not giving up cuz I feel I'm getting healthier than I've ever been. My nephew Adrian joined for a month cuz he's visiting from Connecticut and he's very happy with the wide variety of workouts. He likes the intensity and skill training. THANK YOU SO MUCH Crossfit Collaboration! We have lots of new faces and awesome energy in our Collaboration community. I enjoy working out with all the familiar faces too. Watching each other progress and grow stronger is a large part of the excitement. It's so great to work out comfortably with like minded peeps who keep you inspired and pumped. Special thanks to all the coaches- Carlos, Craig, Serena, Alex F, Alex P, Isaac, & Alejandro. This team motivates & leads a lot of invigorating workouts. Every Saturday at 10:30 am is a free class open to the public. Come check us out! read more

My first experience with crossfit has been at CF Collaboration. From my first trial class, I felt a sense of belonging and camaraderie with the coaches and fellow athletes. Beginning with a review of my goals and past workout experiences, I completed a week of fundamental exercises one-on-one to highlight safe technique as well as identify my strengths and weaknesses. Not only do the coaches push each athlete individually to peak performance, but the family of athletes supports and encourages one another everyday. Collaboration is not just a gym, but a community that creates a stronger person both mentally and physically. I love the positive atmosphere! read more

Amazing! If you want to get sexy, this is the place to be. I've never done crossfit before, did a few trial classes at other gyms but nah, here the coaches were awesome and patient explaining every detail of the movements. Totally recommend. Also try the Oly class, it's freakin awesome! Been here for 6 months and don't regret it at all. read more

For several years a few of my close friends would talk non-stop about doing CrossFit, their crazy "WODs" and wacky workouts with random guy/girl names. I swore to myself I would never drink the Kool-aid and would tell them to please change the subject - but about a 1.5 years ago I saw a Groupon and since I can't pass up a good deal - I figured that if I just took this basics class, I could at least say I tried and go back to telling those friends to stop talking about CrossFit again. Well, I took a chance and signed up for a fundamentals class at the gym that is now my "box" - CrossFit Collaboration. I am nearing my two year anniversary with this gym and not looking back. Like all of the other reviewers already mentioned - this gym has some great coaches (all of them) and they work with each member to ensure they are getting stronger and healthier - safely. Regardless of your age (in my 40s when I started) or fitness level (6+ years professional couch potato like me) the coaches and the members motivate and inspire you to succeed, but allow you to do it at your own pace. No pressure sales or peer pressure here. Everyone at CrossFit Collaboration is super friendly and greet you with a smile and after each workout congratulate your achievements with a sweaty high five. I can honestly say that I am the fittest I have ever been in my life and I can attribute that to CrossFit Collaboration and this awesome community for motivating me to be healthier. For anyone who is even a little curious, every Saturday morning they offer a free workout for anyone who wants to give it a try - can't beat that deal! read more

This is a fantastic CrossFit gym! Dropped in here not once, but three times when on vacation because I couldn't get enough of it (and I'm a bit of a CrossFit addict). The coaches were extremely welcoming and I really enjoyed the programming, it was definitely varied from what my gym's programming is (as it should be!) and left me sore for days, which was fantastic. Plus, if you want to mix it up and get some extra volume compared to the standard 1 hour class, try the Level 2 class. A great friendly bunch of people, and relaxed environment- will definitely go back if I'm in the area! read more
