I'm so thankful I found FIT Brea! Over the past several years that I've lived in the area, I've…read morebeen a part of various gyms (both chain and boutique) nearby. Having now experienced FIT Brea, I'm definitely kicking myself for not trying this gym out sooner. I've only done their group fitness classes so far, which range from 8-12ish people in size, and I'm looking forward to trying out the personal training sessions when my schedule opens up! Here are a few ways that make FIT Brea a standout: COACHING: The coaches here are the whole package! 1. They all have stellar credentials, with many of them holding advance degrees and multiple certifications. In short, they know their stuff. 2. At the risk of sounding facetious, I just want to make the point that the FIT Brea coaches actually coach. It might sound like a no-brainer, but it hasn't always been my experience that coaches do much more beyond demo-ing the moves and saying "good job" or "keep going" every few minutes, especially in a group class setting. Here, the coaches constantly move throughout the room to offer individualized pointers on form, differentiated movements depending on individual strength and mobility, alternative movements for injuries, and encouragement and motivation to keep pushing so I can get better and better. 3. They are all super patient, encouraging, and welcoming! PROGRAMMING: The programming for the group classes are thoughtfully and methodically designed. From what I can tell so far, the workouts are structured in mesocycles with a progressive overload pattern. This is important because if we do the same thing over and over, our bodies will adapt and we will not make appreciable gains over time. With progressive overload, our bodies are constantly challenged so that we can keep increasing strength and improving hypertrophy. COMMUNITY: The FIT Brea community is so nice and helpful. I felt welcomed by the coaches and the other patrons from day one. Several people who recognized that I was new introduced themselves and helped me find and set up various equipment. Others even put my plates and dumbbells back during transitions. Just last week, the whole class broke out into spontaneous applause and cheer when I pushed out that last rep of bench press, haha! The mutually encouraging environment really underpins the whole vibe and experience here. It's a special thing. MANAGEMENT: One of the things that I didn't realize would make a difference in my overall gym experience is having direct access to management/owner. In my past gym experiences, the questions/concerns I had would typically have to go up a chain of command before I got a response. Since FIT Brea is owner-operated, the patrons can directly talk to Andrew, the owner, who is so nice and provides exceptional customer service. SPACE/EQUIPMEMENT: It's spacious, well-maintained, clean, and an overall pleasant environment to train in. CLASS OFFERINGS: I'm a busy mom who works full-time hours plus daily commute. I'm thankful that classes are offered as early as 5am and as late as 6:30pm so that I can get my training time in! If you are looking for a gym where you can optimize and maximize your fitness goals (whatever they are), look no further because FIT Brea is it! I'm a serial Yelp sleuther and almost never write reviews, but my experience thus far has so far exceeded my expectations that I felt compelled to share this gem of a place with others!

I've been going to FIT Brea since last year and it's been an amazing experience. Andrew and the…read morecoaches design workouts that are challenging, well programmed, and never repetitive. The environment is supportive, and the programming is perfect for people of all ages and fitness levels. The workouts push you to become a better version of yourself. If you're serious about reaching your fitness goals, I highly recommend checking out FIT Brea.

From day one, everyone has…read morebeen so welcoming and genuinely kind--it really makes a difference when you're starting somewhere new. The space is always clean, the music is great, and the overall vibe is just positive and motivating. What I appreciate most is the community--people are there to support and uplift each other, not judge. It creates such a comfortable environment to focus on your goals. So glad I took this step--excited for this new chapter and everything ahead!

I've been doing CrossFit for a while now and it's something I truly love, but joining INTRVL has…read moretaken my training to another level. The coaches, Coach G, Coach Lauren, and Coach JB are incredibly knowledgeable and genuinely care about helping you improve. They've taught me so much and always push you to become stronger and more confident in your abilities. I recently started joining the gymnastics class and it's been one of my favorite parts. I love being able to work on skills, improve movements, and learn new techniques in a supportive environment. What really makes INTRVL special is the community. Everyone is so friendly and motivating you're surrounded by strong individuals who encourage each other every day. The gym is always clean, organized, and has an amazing energy. Coach JB also expanded the gym and added a 24-hour access side, which is a game changer. With a busy schedule, it's so nice to be able to train whenever it works for you without feeling rushed. If you're looking for a gym with great coaching, an awesome community, and a place that will truly help you grow, INTRVL is the place to be.

The crossfit community is a place where people go to improve themselves and help people around…read morethem. I've been a member here for almost 4 years since I've moved into the area. I'm in my mid 40's and everything that is done in Crossfit can be modified in order to fit to the persons ability. I've never seen anyone or any coach ask or insist that a person do something they are not comfortable with. All the coaches are trained are polite and considerate of people's abilities and feelings. I've never seen any coach be rude, yell or "almost yell" as 1 boyfriend and girlfriend posted that Evan allegedly did to them. Evan is the nicest guy you'll ever meet, not only is he a coach that cares for his students, he wants you to have fun number one, be safe and do the best you can. I do not believe for one second that he has ever been rude. If CrossFit Structured or any other box for that matter had coaches like that, those boxes would not be successful nor would anyone want to be part of a community like that. I can go anywhere around the world and drop in to any Crossfit box, workout and they will treat you like family. So it's not about the a particular box, it's about the community and CrossFit Structure is no different. I've been part of another box prior to this and the people there are all still my friends. We all want to improve, for ourselves, family and the people around us outside the box. Sometimes we have to take responsibility for ourselves instead of finding excuses as to why we quit.

This box (crossfit gym) is great whether its your first day training or years into the wods…read more(workout of the day). All the coaches have superb insight on keeping us in good form while still pushing us thru those AMRAPs. You'll be challenged or scale as much as you want. The best part with this community is the positive encouragement and motivation we all feed off each other with, creating the best energy to get the most out of every training day! Thank you Kris and coaches for all that you do to better our fitness!

I hated going to the gym for years. Every gym felt like some strange social experiment. Half the…read moremembers looked like they were auditioning for a protein powder commercial, the staff was either impossible to find or looked like they'd just been informed of an incoming asteroid, and the locker rooms smelled like a wet gorilla had been marinating in onion soup. Then I found Fitness 19. It's smaller than most gyms, but that works in its favor. The staff is genuinely friendly and helpful. People actually come here to work out instead of sitting on a machine for 45 minutes scrolling through TikTok and guarding it like it's the Iron Throne. The place is clean, organized, and doesn't smell like a medieval battlefield after three days in the sun. Equipment is where it's supposed to be. Nobody seems determined to create chaos. My only complaint is that it isn't open 24 hours. Sometimes I get the urge to exercise at 2 a.m. after making poor dietary decisions and watching motivational videos that convince me I'm one workout away from becoming Batman. The pricing is reasonable, and they offer additional classes if that's your thing. Personally, I'm just a basic member, and the basic membership has everything I need. No gimmicks, no nonsense, no influencers filming workouts and then asking you to get out of their Oscar Worthy shot. For the first time in a long time,I don't dread going to the gym. That's probably the highest compliment I can give. 2 thumbs up.
