    I have been exercising and training since the late 90s (not to age myself), and I've worked with 3…read morepersonal trainers, tried every new fitness program from lifting, cardio, circuit training, tabata, CrossFit, HIIT workouts, yoga, cardio, and sports. I've tried all the new circuit classes from Revel Fit, Renegade, OTF, F45, and I guarantee that no one will program or kick your a$$ like Bryan at Versatile Fitness! This is a no-frills, old boxing gym vibe (think OG Rocky) where you come to WORK! Bryan's programming, exercise acumen, and super sets will challenge you, but also be some of the most effective and productive workouts. He has almost every piece of equipment I've seen in a gym from rowers, ropes, barbells, curl bars, pulley systems, sleds, water weights, benches, kettlebells, free weights, Terra core, TRX, bands, discs, and the list goes on. I have attended about 10 classes and I have yet to repeat a workout. It's insane the quality of training and programming you would get through this gym for the price. Anywhere else, it would cost thousands for this level of programming, so anyone who attends these classes is getting a steal of a deal for this type of workout! Classes are 45min, with several stations per class. Each day has a target focus such as pull, push, leg, abs, and/or cardio, depending on the day. The target is there, but you are always getting a decent total body workout. Each station has 2-3 exercises that you do 2 sets per station. You have around 3 people per station, and then you rotate. Bryan goes around to demo each exercise as you move stations, and also has the workouts written on a whiteboard at the front of the room. Bryan will also provide quick corrections, as needed. Please note, in large group class settings, rarely will get you get alot of correction or instruction. It's not feasible to have that much personalized focus in these types of classes. Each class starts with a short warm-up, and a quick cooldown at the end. I have only taken class with Bryan, as he is the staple of this gym. He also has an extensive background with over 20yr of experience and he also offers some nutrition and personalized coaching programs for fat shredding and other fitness goals. This gym is a hidden gem and morning classes are usually full. I am literally perplexed how the afternoon classes are not exploding with members because I have yet to see anyone have the stellar exercise programming and versatility that Versatile Fitness provides. I've seen so many different trainers and attended many gyms, and Bryan's programming is the most innovative and BRUTAL (in the best way), that I've experienced. If you're looking for a serious SWEAT, a great community, and incredible workouts, VF is the spot!

    Been awhile since my last review. Wanted to provide an update: ~6 years into my VF journey - I'm…read morestill getting sweaty AF. Stay away from this gym if: you dislike working hard, you hate fun music, you want to workout with people who suck. Join this gym if you: want a great workout with no mental effort on your part, you enjoy being pushed to be your best, you want to support a small business instead of a corporate monster. Side note: I appreciate that Bryan the owner places a large focus on finding trainers that are a cultural match for VF. Shregar, Victor, and Mauritzio all bring the energy.

    While I am no longer a fan of these HIIT group class concepts with a dedicated WOD targeting select…read moremuscle groups, Revel can serve to switch things up or keeps things fun especially with the high-energy music played within the low-lit studio. Admittedly, it's a vibe. However, these concepts have you starting on the tread and switching off to the bench anywhere from 2-3 times. I feel like you do not get the ultimate benefit of either. The weight segment is also super ineffective, incorporating "compound" moves for basically everything with upwards of 5-7 different exercises for a max of MAYBE 2 sets. I get why people love this concept because it's hard to stay motivated with the same boring workout. Plus, these workouts will undoubtedly have you feeling sore, this feedback being what people thrive off of, because sore muscles=growth, right? WRONG, as you absolutely SHOULD NOT feel sore after every single workout. In terms of progress, you will quickly flat line with the lack of consistency due to all the randomness. However, people have different goals and exercise is better than none, I mean, if you can afford it!

    I am in LOVE with this studio! It's conveniently located at the MARA in Mission Bay/Pacific Beach…read moreright off the 5 FWY and Grand. There is plenty of retail parking on the first level of the parking garage as well as ample street parking. The studio is clean and has bathrooms, showers, high-end personal care products (lotions, soaps, feminine care products) and offers free towels to use during the workout. The studio is spacious and has treadmills + benches with weights and bands in each space plus extra weights along the wall you can grab for heavier lifting. Another thing I really love about the treads is the ability to do sled pulls and parachute runs...haven't found another studio in SD that has them! The trainers are motivating, the music playlists are curated to really pump you up and the workouts are 50 min - it's effective, efficient and you get a total full body workout and a balance of strength training and cardio w/ the option to double up on weights. I took advantage of the special they had for March for $196/month for unlimited classes (normally $300/month). I have been averaging going 3-4x/week so the value is there and this promotion was a really good deal! Can't wait for my next class!

    Cannot recommend Christian enough! I started working with Christian 5 months ago to be healthier…read moreand lose weight before my wedding. We discussed my nutrition and exercise regimen, and he gave me realistic goals. He created a nutrition plan and provided me with great resources to eat smarter and healthier including recipes, grocery lists, and healthier takeout options. For the fitness part, he created tailored workouts that increased my strength. Both the fitness and dietary changes we implemented made me look slimmer for my wedding and allowed me to continue the habits even after my wedding. I continue to work with him because I am the strongest and healthiest I've felt in a long time. He is very knowledgeable, nice, responsive, and encouraging. I highly recommend!

    I cannot say enough positive things about my experience working with Christian as my nutrition…read morecoach. First, he is so personable and approachable, which are important traits when trusting someone with your personal information on dietary and lifestyle habits. During our first consultation, I was impressed with his knowledge on exercise nutrition and his thorough and organized "Nutrition Hub" he provides. This hub includes the tailored and realistic plan he created for me, great resources on recipes, and a curated grocery list to common stores - eliminating all the common barriers to get started on creating positive nutrition habits. We met weekly and though there were a couple of hiccups during the time we worked together (I started the month with a cold), he had a balanced approach of understanding, yet keeping me motivated. It is evident that he is passionate about helping people reach their wellness goals. Though we had formally agreed on working with my nutrition goals only, he still pushed me to pick up heavier weights and gave me advice on how I can make modifications to my workout plans. Christian is an excellent coach that goes above and beyond!
