This further solidified my decision to end my membership, as I did not wish to support an organization whose values diverged from my own and did not align with the diverse and inclusive environment I sought, particularly given the substantial monthly fee of $200

Hardcore Fitness is far more than just a regular gym. From the moment I joined, I felt welcomed and supported. Every trainer has encouraged me throughout my fitness journey, especially Athena, Giovanny, Hesham, and Jose. Each of them has made a significant impact on my growth, confidence, and success. What truly sets this gym apart is the genuine care the trainers have for their members. If you're dealing with an injury, such as a shoulder or knee issue, they will always provide alternative exercises and modifications to help you continue progressing safely. They want to see you succeed, no matter what challenges you face. That dedication, support, and sense of community are why Hardcore Fitness of El Cajon holds such a special place in my heart. I'm incredibly grateful to be part of this fitness family.

Well... let me start with a confession: I've spent years avoiding private gyms like they were…read moreextended car warranties. We had a perfectly good home gym. I also work out at the fire station consistently. Life was structured, predictable, and free of the "let me show you around" tour. Then last summer happened. I decided to temporarily join a gym. You know, the classic three month commitment that absolutely never turns into anything longer. This was mainly to support my daughter as she headed into her high school soccer season while rehabbing from ACL surgery. So I reluctantly agreed. Signed the papers. Mentally prepared to count down 90 days. Then we met Brittany, the gym manager. Problem number one: she was actually great. Super friendly, respectful, and did not hit us with the usual high pressure sales pitch. Honestly, she could have sold ice to a fire crew without trying. Next thing you know, we are signed up and showing up. And here is where things went sideways in a good way. Hardcore Fitness El Cajon is nothing like the other gyms we have tried. Brittany sets the tone. She is not just behind a desk, she is in there working out with everyone else, keeping the energy high and making the place feel legit. Now the trainers. Diego. This guy is dialed in. I am there at 0530, barely functional, and he is making rounds correcting form at every station like a fitness sniper. I used to hate being coached. Now it actually helps and somehow does not annoy me. Hesham. Equal parts coach and stand up comedian. Keeps things light, keeps you moving, and somehow makes you feel like a champion even when you are questioning your life choices mid workout. Gio. Pretty sure his mission is to make everyone sweat out their entire life story. I hear he writes the workouts now, which explains a lot. Respectfully brutal. Johannes. Top tier coach. He worked with my daughter during her knee rehab and did an outstanding job. That alone says a lot. Athena. High energy, funny, and very easy to stay focused around... or at least try to. She brings a ton of motivation to every class. I know I am missing a few, but the entire staff is solid. What really stands out is the community. No ego, no weird vibes, no cliques. Does not matter who you are or where you are from, everyone gets along and puts in the work. And here is the part I did not expect. For the first time, I am actually consistent. Not "I worked out twice this week so I deserve a reward meal" consistent. Real consistent. And I am seeing results. Strength is up, agility is better, and apparently I now have what can only be described as beach muscles. I am not entirely sure when that happened, but I am not questioning it. So here I am. A guy who avoided gyms for years... actually recommending one.

I always make every effort to record only myself, avoid capturing other members, and keep my phone safely attached with a magnet rather than using a tripod or creating a tripping hazard. If someone walks into the frame, I simply redo the video. Today, an employee who has seen me record many times before told me that recording was no longer permitted. I also noticed a "No Recording" sign at the front desk that I had never seen before and appeared to have been posted recently. I did not argue with the employee or refuse to follow the rule, but I was extremely disappointed and decided to cancel my membership. I understand prohibiting recording in locker rooms, bathrooms, tanning areas, or anywhere that could violate another member's privacy. However, I was only recording myself on the fitness floor so I could track my progress, share exercises, and hopefully motivate others. I've also regularly tagged Planet Fitness in my videos, and Planet Fitness has even interacted with some of my posts. Had someone expressed concern about appearing in a video, I would have completely understood and made sure they were not included. A complete ban on recording, however, means this location no longer meets my needs. After being a loyal member for over a year, it was disappointing to have the rules suddenly change without any prior communication. Anyone who enjoys recording workouts, taking progress videos, or creating fitness content should be aware of this location's policy before joining. I'll be finding another gym that better accommodates those goals. See photos that show I tag Planet Fitness in all of my posts, and one were they even sent a message response to one of the posts. Again, just disappointing.

However, it seemed I was on a plateau when I learned about Kari's GLP-1 Strong program. While prescribed by my PCP, I had always felt there wasn't much structure other than take this every week and watch the pounds melt away. While this is all good, I wanted a plan to progress more quickly and to utilize once off the medication. I cannot say enough good things about this 12-week program and Kari's knowledge on fitness and nutrition. Kari customizes her plans for each individual and focuses on accountability, consistency, and behaviors to focus on. I am an additional 12 pounds down and have gained the strength and confidence to finish my journey, including after stopping the jab. I will most likely sign up again during this transition.

Spoiler alert: this wasn't just a wedding prep plan, it turned into a total lifestyle shift. The first year wasn't perfect (life happens...hello, wine nights and takeout!), but Kari never judged or gave up on me. Instead, she helped me reset, get real about my goals, and build habits that actually worked. By my wedding in June 2024, I was down 40 lbs and 10% body fat and I felt strong, confident, and truly proud of how I looked and felt walking down the aisle. Since then, we've shifted to strength, mindset, and maintenance and let me tell you, that's been just as empowering. I've learned how to stay consistent, lift heavier, eat more without guilt, and care about so much more than just the scale. Working with Kari isn't just about macros and workouts (though those are dialed in); it's about learning how to show up for yourself even when life gets messy. I cannot recommend her enough if you're ready for change that actually lasts.

There are four big pine trees with separate retaining walls around three of them for owners to sit down. With it being so close to the bay, there's often a nice breeze that goes through the park. There's no divide between small dogs and big dogs, so it's best to just keep an eye on your dog, and many owners around here are usually respectful. The street parking immediately adjacent to the park is free, however, it has a limit of 30 minutes, and the parking meter workers are strict on it if they're around. I bring my dog here around lunch time because those who live/ work in the area tend to bring their dogs during their break time and my dog gets his socialization time. They close 8am-11am MWF for maintenance/ cleaning. Currently, both gates are broken so it's not as secure as it should be, and who knows when the city will actually fix it. There're a few agility structures and a water dispenser. The children's park itself looks pretty cool for kids with a lot of structures with slides and swings. There's also another separate area with fixed exercise equipment that looks well- maintained. The water feature in the park is a water feature, not a pool.

It's basically a choose-your-own-adventure: bird watching, fishing (permit required), or just a casual picnic. Bonus perks: lots of porta potties and benches when you need a breather. If you're holding out for a real restroom, there's one just past the second baseball field--plan accordingly. Photo is attached to show where to locate this. Heads up: the main gate is closed every 2nd Tuesday of the month, but don't panic--you can still access the trail through the neighborhood entrance off Baltimore Drive.

From the moment I stepped into Crossfit Flashbang, I knew I had found a special place. This gym is a hidden gem in El Cajon, and here's why it deserves a glowing five-star review: Expert Coaches The coaches here are not just trainers; they are true educators in fitness. Their depth of knowledge in Crossfit techniques and fitness principles is impressive. They provide personalized attention, ensuring that each member's form and technique are on point, which is crucial for effective and safe workouts. Impeccable Cleanliness The gym is always spotless, which is a testament to the staff's dedication. The equipment is well-maintained, and the workout areas are pristine, ensuring a safe and hygienic environment for everyone. Incredible Community The community at Crossfit Flashbang is awesome. Everyone, from beginners to seasoned athletes, is welcomed with open arms. The members are supportive, encouraging, and friendly, creating a motivating and positive atmosphere that makes every workout session enjoyable. They even have a prayer board for prayer requests from members. Diverse Programs Whether you're new to Crossfit or looking to challenge yourself further, there's a program for you. The variety of workouts keeps things exciting and challenging. Plus, the coaches are fantastic at modifying exercises to suit different fitness levels. Results-Driven Approach Since joining, I've seen noticeable improvements in my strength, endurance, and overall fitness. The coaches are committed to helping each member achieve their personal goals, and it shows in the results. In conclusion, Crossfit Flashbang is more than just a gym; it's a community where you are pushed to be your best. I highly recommend it to anyone looking to embark on or continue their fitness journey in a supportive, professional, competitive and fun environment! read more

I love this gym! It has been under new ownership since 2022. You can tell Brittney, Travis, Kirk and Laura all really care about this gym and its members. The gym is always clean (except for the evil chalk lovers who love to spread chalk everywhere) (guilty), the showers are really nice for those who need to rush to work, and the recovery room is new and updated and fantastic! They just purchased awesome new equipment too, like assault bikes and ski ergs. There are also different tracks to choose from - not just the main classes. There's bodybuilding, LIFE CrossFit, the main classes, and competitor tracks. And with LOADS of class times to choose from - you can't go wrong. The coaches are all top notch - always willing to listen and explain things to get you to your next physical goal. AND they have nutrition coaches! So awesome. Totally worth the price. read more

I asked around to sign the waiver and got someone to help me. I wanted to make sure that didn't slow me down starting the class on time. Thankfully I do strength training and hot yoga outside of this class so I felt I could keep up but having been to new classes before, they seem to take care of newbies with just a few more instructions. I ended up figuring it out and maybe the style of this gym is no hand holding but I ended up asking other attendees in the class about the structure. Most of the moves in this class were standard but when it came to Sled, I wasn't sure in my form. I'd suggest when they get newbies in these games classes to ask them if they've done anything like this before and if not, show them the proper technique of the moves. That helps in the actual events since form matters and also prevents injuries. Overall, it was a good experience and I'll be back!

I've been coming to NXPT Fit for 18 months already and didn't just help me get in shape -- it…read morehelped me find myself again. When I first walked in, I was unsure, lacking confidence, and just hoping to feel a little better. Now, I'm stronger, healthier, and happier than I've been in a long time. I've lost weight, built real strength, and discovered a confidence I didn't know I had. But the biggest transformation has been inside. The supportive community here has become like family -- cheering me on during the hard days and celebrating every win, big or small. My mental health has improved so much because of the encouragement, positivity, and connection I've found here. NXPT Fit gave me a place where I truly belong. If you're searching for more than just a workout. If you want a home, a team, and a place that believes in you, this is it. 5 stars, without a doubt.
