When I signed up for CrossFit San Clemente in 2014, I was hoping to get back in shape and try something new. I had no idea I would get so much more out of my investment and decision to join. First of all the people are incredible! Everyone is supportive, fun, down to earth, and up for good times. The coaches are great! They take their craft seriously and it's so nice to have knowledgeable coaches who ensure that I am getting better each day. They take great pride in their work and it shows. The head coach Edgar really gets to know everyone's strengths and limitations. Edgar provides alternative and tailored movements for every workout to meet the requirements of everyone in the gym. The programming is amazing too. It's awesome to know how much thought goes into every movement of every workout. read more

CrossFit San Clemente - Trainers Near Me - San Clemente, California

Was in town for the month, decided to give this gym a shot based on reviews, and I was definitely not disappointed. I have been doing Crossfit for a few years now, so have some experience and reference points. The community and coaches are great, I found the work outs to be challenging and fun, and even though I was in vacation mode, I ended up in better shape than when I started. Thank you Edgar and the rest of the Crossfit San Clemente community for being great hosts. I will definitely be back next summer! read more

I spent a month and a half with CrossFit San Clemente while I stayed in the area during a move. I worked out 6 days a week and was able to really see the community that is built here in this box. I usually spent my time in the afternoon class and enjoyed the company of regulars who would workout in the hot afternoons. There was never a negative interaction with any CrossFitter or coach and the programming is unique to this gym. Whether you're seasoned to CrossFit or want to learn what it's all about it this place is a great place to be! read more

There's so much good to be said about CrossFit San Clemente, but most of it boils down to one word: intentionality. It pervades into every facet of the gym--every workout, every movement, every second is designed expressly and precisely with the aim of promoting overall physical well-being. Edgar, Steph, and the rest of the coaching staff champion notions of functional fitness and holistic health that go beyond buzzwords generated to increase membership. The genuine care and zeal with which they operate is evident not only in the personal accounts of the members who make up the gym's vibrant community but the evident improvement in their everyday livelihood. In the last twelve years, I've been a member of four CrossFit gyms; and, without a doubt, I can state that CrossFit San Clemente stands head and shoulders above the rest. It's an easy, emphatic recommendation from me. And, ask around; I'm confident others will espouse the same opinion :) read more

This is my 2nd attempt at CrossFit after a friend told me "this time will be different" because this place is "so much better." I'd heard that one before. But I gave it a go anyways and it really lived up to my friend's hype! I've been going pretty consistently for over 2 months. There's a real vibe to this place. Incredible people and just intense enough where I get a hard workout without feeling like I'm going to get hurt. So happy to have found this place and I'm absolutely going to keep it up! read more

Love this gym! I used to do CrossFit in LA and when I moved town to the OC I was seeking a gym, but hadn't been in "CrossFit shape" in a while. However, walking into CF San Clemente was anything but intimidating, it was beyond welcoming. I felt right at home with the people and the coaching staff, especially Edgar is great. I really favor the programming as well. The workouts are what you make them, and they're very good about finding ways to scale should you need/want to. Overall recommend for anyone seeking a gym in south orange county. read more

I started going to crossfit 2 years ago after years of not exercising consistently, and I quickly became dedicated to my fitness journey because of this gym. The staff and the community are amazing. There is no judgement at CrossFit SC, and everyone is so friendly and encouraging. Coach Edgar and the rest of the staff have helped me reach goals I never thought possible. No matter where you are starting in your journey, the coaches will always modify your workouts to your needs and be attentive to every class member. read more

Not your typical xfit gym in the BEST of ways! The coaches are knowledgeable and cater to everyone's individual needs. The gym has a diverse clientele to workout alongside. I love the community atmosphere and how dedicated the head coach is to making everyone feel included. I was skeptical at first but I have been a member for over a year now and I have loved every minute! read more

I have been in the CrossFit space since 2010 and in the fitness space much longer, and I can tell you I have not come across too many folks more passionate and committed to their clients than Edgar, the head coach of this gym. He has an incredible energy about him that really inspires. If you are looking to lose weight and feel more in control of your body, this is the place. CrossFit is for everyone and anyone. Take a trial class to see what the experience is like. You will not regret it. read more

CrossFit San Clemente - Making fitness in a group setting is a powerful way to achieve your goals. - Trainers Near Me - San Clemente, California

Love this gym! Been going here for almost 3 years - always a well thought out workout and the coaches are great at ensuring everyone is working to their best capabilities (modifying for people when needed, but also pushing folks to go harder when they're slacking off!). The people are very San Clemente chill and have formed an awesome and supportive community. Highly recommend! read more

Great people, fun programming, and a welcoming community!

Super friendly and knowledgeable CrossFit gym! I had been a personal trainer for several years but wanted to learn more of the CrossFit and Olympic lifting movements. Head coach Edgar is great at breaking down movements and giving progressions to help you learn correct form from the beginning. He's quick to answer any questions and make corrections where needed to make sure form is safe and effective. I never felt bad about when I wasn't able to perform the RX workout and Edgar's great at giving modifications and customizing the workout where you need. The members are super friendly, encouraging, and the gym overall has a very close knit family feel. Highly recommend if your looking for a killer workout, knowledgeable coaching, and great people! read more

This is the best gym I've ever been to, because it's not only a gym, but a community. The main coach, Edgar, is incredible at what he does--deeply competent, passionate, kind, understanding, and unbelievably disciplined. He crafts workouts with care, and regularly individualizes and modifies workouts to meet people's various abilities and goals, including for people who are pregnant, have or are recovering from illness (such as cancer), and/or have chronic conditions (such as muscular dystrophy). The gym is welcoming of people with all fitness backgrounds and levels. As someone who had never seriously weight-lifted before, had never tried CrossFit, and, quite frankly, was intimidated by the typically male-dominated weight-lifting spaces in gyms, I have felt supported and encouraged to set and achieve goals that I had never before imagined for myself. Most importantly, I've felt happy achieving them--CrossFit San Clemente is a space which focuses on personal growth, and in which everyone encourages and supports one another to show up, do their best, and find joy in movement. Most importantly, this gym is a community. Edgar invests deeply not only in the fitness of every person who walks through his doors, but in their overall physical and emotional well-being. There are regular community-building events that are organized by Edgar, and spontaneous social events organized by people within the gym, and it's easy to make friends and feel welcomed and included. It has made me feel like I have a place I belong after moving back to San Clemente as an adult. Those who have joined the gym and moved away also are welcomed by Edgar when visiting San Clemente (even if for a few days or a few weeks) to participate in work outs and in the community, as if they had never left. CrossFit San Clemente is a truly special place, and I can't recommend it enough. read more

CrossFit San Clemente is an amazing place to work out. I love the varied programming that always helps me feel like I'm improving in some way. Wether it's increasing my endurance, getting stronger, or even learning a new skill, I always walk away feeling accomplished. Edgar is really good with scaling and adapting as well so that everyone in attendance gets the most out of their time. Definitely worth every penny! read more

I've been a member here for a little over a year and I can truly say this gym is phenomenal! Edgar is a great coach with great skill. He adapts to your needs and goals and helps you reach them. Daily workouts are structured but also leaves room for socialization with other gym members. I enjoy coming to workout every morning and become the best version of myself. Thanks Edgar!! read more

I've been going to CrossFit San Clemente for about a year and a half, and I can't get enough! The head coach, Edgar, is very knowledgeable and will work with you wherever you're at in your ability level. He will adapt workouts for any injuries or inexperience, but will also push you to perform at your best. Since the pandemic, Edgar has worked tirelessly to ensure the safety of all members, employing the use of an electrostatic sprayer, hourly cleaning, class limits, adequate spacing, and mask usage. The gym is a close knit community, and the workouts will push you to improve and succeed!! read more

Great place to get back in shape or take it to the next level! When I started about 2 years ago my shoulders were fragile and weak. Thanks to Edgar's coaching, I've been able to re-build my shoulder strength and they've never felt better along with the rest of my physical fitness. The community at the box is very supportive and fun which keeps me coming back for more! Give it a try...you wont regret it! read more

I've been a member for a year now and give CFSC my highest recommendation. I travel a lot for work and drop in to many gyms and must say this is one of the best. Coach Edgar does great programming and gives excellent instruction. The gym is super clean and he has led the way during COVID and established rigorous cleaning and safety protocols that are now the standard in the local area. read more

If you are in, or near San Clemente I highly recommend San Clemente Crossfit. The vibe is chill, everyday people whom are down to positively support your cause. The lifting is legendary, lots of gains going on. Me, myself under the tutelage of coach Edgar have put up substantially improved numbers. You'll be amazed at the numbers you are throwing up. But, you'll be amazed after you are sore, frustrated and tired. Gotta earn it first. The workouts are murder, but in due time you'll kill it. Everyone competes during the workout; some against one another, sometimes against yourself. And, if the workout is too advanced it can be scaled back to your current skill level. I would trust my grandma's health in Edgar's hands, and I really love my grandma. It's a workout, big time!!! Whatever the reason you want to join, you should consider San Clemente Crossfit. Don't be afraid to bring in cookies the first day, its sort of a thing... Just mention they are for Sammy read more

This was a great experience! Edgar the owner/head coach was great. Being a holiday weekend, there were a lot of drop-ins including myself and he knew every single one of our names and introduced all of us to the current members. The workouts were great, and Edgar was very accommodating the whole time. Whether you're looking for a workout to drop-in on or a place to call your home box, CrossFit San Clemente was great! read more

Joining CrossFit San Clemente was one of the best decisions of my life! I'm stronger and more confident than ever before. It was intimidating in the beginning (1.5 years ago) but sticking with it has really paid off. Coach Edgar is caring and attentive to each member. Proper form and safety are his top priorities. The members are a welcoming tight-knit community. The people I train with have become my good friends who I look forward to cheer on every morning. read more

Strongly recommend joining this community. read more

I had the pleasure of becoming a part of the San Clemente CrossFit family for six weeks while staying at my parent's house during a home remodel. From the beginning, I was welcomed with open arms by the owner and head trainer Edgar, and the rest of the members. I have been doing CrossFit for a couple of years and Edgar's knowledge, professionalism, and expertise is valued more than words can describe. I learned so much from him in such a short amount of time, and I appreciate the time and dedication he showed to me. I thoroughly enjoyed his program which consisted of a great warm-up, stretching, strength training, and a WOD at the end. Edgar really pays attention to form, and makes sure that you are doing all the movements correctly so that injury is avoided. Edgar is continuously learning and bringing in fresh ideas to the gym and going above and beyond for his members. If you don't have a home gym, CrossFit San Clemente is for you. I will miss CrossFit San Clemente but look forward to dropping in again soon . read more

This is the best gym in southern Orange County. Edgar is the best there is at coaching correct form. Have already seen significant improvement in strength and flexibility in just a month. Don't waist your time going anywhere else. This is where it's at. read more

Edgar is a great coach and all of the people are so nice. Everyone gets along great.

It has been such a great experience so far, and I intend on coming back for a very long time. read more

After about a year of my daughter bugging me to try this CrossFit I finally went. I have to admit, she was right. Edgar, the coach, is knowledgeable, encouraging and seems to be able to get everyone to do their best! The group of people that work out here are awesome! I'm 56 years old and I never thought I would be able to learn some of the skills that I have learned over the last 1 1/2 years at San Clemente CrossFit. This gym is the best!! read more

Where do I even begin?! The facilities are spotless and have everything you need. Edgar is so knowledgable, calm, and motivating. All of the members are extremely nice, even as a beginner at crossfit. 100 stars read more

I can't speak highly enough about the CrossFit experience. I joined several months ago and it's been great. I've gone to the gym for years and was getting bored. This was exactly what I needed. Each day is a different workout which challenges me. I've seen great personal progress in my strength, endurance, appearance and overall fitness. The classes are offered several times a day and I've found everyone to be friendly and supportive - it's the culture and one of the things I like best about Crossfit. The trainers are excellent - with Edgar being the main trainer and owner. While there is a prescribed workout each day that everyone does, Edgar and the other trainers are excellent at advising people on how to scale or modify the movements if you're sore or just not as strong in a particular area. I used to think Crossfit was only for athletes (which I'm not) but it's really for anyone who wants to get into and stay in shape - men or women. read more

I have never found a more supportive coach and group of people ever. This place is like walking into a second home. I've been here 3 months and I'm lifting heavier, feeling better and loving every minute of this place. You become part of a team here, trust me you'll love it and never leave. read more

Love this gym. Everyone is so nice and supportive. Great environment to workout and get into better shape. Highly recommend if you're looking for a CF gym. read more

I've been doing CrossFit here for about a year and a half and love it here! There are multiple Crossfit gyms in the area but what really sets this place apart is the staff and the members. The coach is approachable, knowledgeable, and takes your fitness goals seriously. The other crossfiters are a great group. They are supportive and welcome all fitness levels. Would highly recommend this to anyone looking for a CrossFit gym! read more

I loved working with Edgar at Crossfit! He pushed me but not to the point I hated working out at the gym go check it out!

I've been going to CrossFit San Clemente for over three years now (with a yearlong break so I could have a baby), and I can't say enough how much this gym has changed me. I love working out now. I've lost 33+ pounds. And I'm doing all sorts of thing I'd never thought possible from handstand push ups and five strict pull ups in a row to huge gains in my running efficiency. When I first started out as a newbie, Edgar (the coach) and everyone else at the gym were all so welcoming and encouraging that I never once felt self-conscious. Instead, I always felt so proud of my accomplishments even if I was among the slowest there. Now, I consider myself a regular who loves going four or five times a week just to be among friends and continue to push myself toward new goals. If you are looking for a Crossfit box in San Clemente, or any gym for that matter, I highly recommend coming by! read more

I don't think it gets any better. Edgar is a great coach, that cares about each and every person that he trains. He will push and challenge you but would never put you in harms way. Everyone encourages and helps everyone else, no matter your skill level. You'll always leave feeling an amazing sense of accomplishment and anxious to get back. I can't recommend CrossFit San Clemente enough! read more

This place is awesome! Edgar our coach is the man! Even if you have minor injuries he'll create a workout around it. He genuinely cares! Been going for a couple years with no plans of stopping. read more

Crossfit San Clemente is amazing. The people are welcoming and hilarious and you will always have fun - even if the work out is brutal! I started as a complete beginner and our coach, Edgar, was always patient and helpful and made me feel like part of a team. He's encouraging and tough, and if I didn't show up one day he'd always text to make sure I wasn't going to bail twice. I need that type of follow through to succeed and I always got it!! The workouts were consistently challenging and entertaining and you'll always leave feeling ready to come back the next day (even if your muscles hurt too much to move). I can't recommend this box enough!! read more

It has been a while since I worked out and CrossFit was completely new to me, but Coach Edgar was able to start me off easy and slowly ramp me up. Head Coach/Owner Edgar is amazing and it's great to be around everyone that come in. Everyone is really friendly and we all push each other. The workouts are challenging, but fun! You feel great after. Edgar modifies the workouts for all skill levels. Oh did I mention the gym is so nice! Can't wait to see my results in a few months from now. read more
