    Interesting gym. I needed a couple gyms to go to off of ClassPass in La Jolla, San Diego, CA. I found a yoga gym and the F45 gym. I think that is a good combination. Here, I did their version of HIIT circuit training. They have their own equipment. I asked if it was custom made and she said that F45 is a franchise. You run the franchise and they provide the equipment, which includes kettlebells, dumbbells, and whatever else. I have done most of these exercises training in SF. I think it is a good workout. You still need to get some cardio in by swimming or running. Challenge yourself with various weights. It's circuit definitely and you look at a video screen with the exercise stations. It would be hard to remember. They give you a run through at the beginning. It's 45 minutes, but that feels like a long time. I had to leave early to get out to the cove for kayaking today. Jason was helpful and it's worth it off ClassPass. It's in La Jolla, so it's more polished.

    Results!!

    On May 1st I walked into a new gym with the mindset that I needed something different to get me back into shape. What I found was much more! F45 La Jolla has changed both my body and mind. I'm down 45 pounds and today I just won the F45 8 Week Challenge! Down 6% body fat in the last 8 weeks and gained muscle in the process. Thank You to everyone in the F45 La Jolla Family!

    I feel the confidence thanks to F45!

    This is an awesome gym!! Big kudos to Gabby! She is an AMAZING instructor and one of the best I've…read moreever come across. I used to work at a fitness studio when I was in college (not as an instructor though LOL) and she is everything you could want in an instructor. She is kind, welcoming, explained everything very well to me, always demonstrates or helps me when I need it, and she's super fit and gorge~ Side note, this is probably the place with THE most fit people I've ever seen! At work-out classes I've tried in the past, I tend to see a lot of people who aren't so fit, or maybe there are some older people in there. But in the few classes I've taken here, everyone is really fit! Maybe because this location is in a college area so the demographic has more fit people? But either way, I think it speaks to the classes' effectiveness and the people nor class were intimidating so I think everyone should try it! The class is a little fast-paced and there's a lot of moves going on, but just copy whatever your neighbor is doing and since you are kind of doing them autonomously, you can go at your own pace and take breaks when needed. I also HATE running, but so far they've been in short bursts (30 seconds or 1 minute) so it is much more palatable. And their equipment is really cool! I've never used the air runner before but it is sick! Things they could work on: 1. The website is absolute trash for new customers, whoever is in charge of the site should definitely be reconsidered LOL. If you want to book at this particular location, you will face a few glitches but I think try booking it under the "UTC schedule" and hopefully you won't run into problems there. 2. The outside is very discreet so you might miss it, it looks like a vacant space...there isn't even a sign that says Renegade - there is just a subtle small "R." And they do not utilize their front space (not sure the story there...they should really take advantage of that sq footage!), so it looks like an empty warehouse. I honestly thought the place was closed when I got there.

    At the end of the day, a lot of these classes all seem very similar. Whether or not you're going to…read moreF45 or Renegade, you could expect to see a whole bunch of cardio on the board and varying amounts of strength and resistance training. From my personal experience going over the weekend, this is an excellent place to go if you are not looking for traditional strength training. I will say that I was most disappointed with the sense of community here. People don't even seem happy to work out with each other. No one smiles and says hi. Are they not happy to be here? The timing can be kind of convenient, but the vibe was really offputting. Also, do y'all do the same workout Saturday and Sunday? Seems weird.

The coaches are incredibly knowledgeable and friendly. The workouts are never boring and designed to build on each other so that you can meet whatever goal you set for yourself. I've worked out at other gyms that focus on making the workouts as intense as possible. While P360 doesn't lack intensity, it is much more focused on quality than quantity. Instead of doing 100 deadlifts, you will slow it down and work towards your personal max over the course of weeks. The coaches are also extremely available to the members and will work with you on injuries or when you need more instruction. I came in knowing nothing about Olympic lifts. Not only do I feel comfortable with all of them, I've never injured myself in the process.

    Locomotion is the best group gym experience I've ever had. As "group fitness," you'll be shocked at…read morehow personalized it feels. From my very first sessions, the coaches learned my name, my strengths, and my goals and that personal attention has never faded. The atmosphere is incredibly welcoming. I've never once felt intimidated or like an outsider, which is rare in a group fitness setting. There are tons of regulars here (a testament to how good it is), but they embrace newcomers with open arms. Even partner workouts are stress-free because the coaches thoughtfully pair you up based on size and capability so no awkward moments or feeling left out. The programming is strength-focused, not just endless reps or HIIT burnout. Every workout challenges you to grow with proper form and progressive weight. Coaches don't just stand back or sit on their phones, they are constantly walking around, giving constructive feedback to keep you safe and improving without ever making you feel judged. The gym itself is solid: clean, open concept, brand-new equipment. The music keeps things fun too - each trainer has their own personality and favorite playlists - one morning might be punk/rock, the next hip-hop, and another high-energy house mix to fuel a Friday which makes classes fresh and motivating. I was skeptical about the 3-week programming format at first because I hate routine and predictability, but I actually love it and it wasn't even a learn to love it experience. Having back to back weeks of the same program is like having a personal trainer because you can track your weights and really see progress more easily. (And if you're not feeling a particular workout, it's easy to swap/avoid that day hehehe). Booking is simple, even same-day, and rarely you'll see a waitlists or stress, plus the cancellation policy is super reasonable. What really sets Locomotion apart is how much the trainers care. James, the owner, checks in regularly with personal texts to make sure I'm getting the most out of my membership. When I had back pain after a vacation, he offered a free 1:1 consult to help me safely get back into training. He even worked with me when I had an unexpected billing issue with my old gym - something he absolutely didn't have to do, but did because he genuinely cares about his members. If you've been looking for a gym that combines the energy / discipline of group fitness with the attention of personal training and a community that will make you feel right at home - Locomotion is it. I can't recommend it enough.

EVER. which feels poetic since i have a book coming out that's probably going to ruffle some feathers. (nothing wrong with a little self-promotion, right? "i wish i was worse" coming nov 9!) there's something deeply satisfying about knowing that when the inevitable fights come from what i've written about people, i'll be ready. the strength i've built here isn't just physical. it's the kind that holds you steady when the world decides to have opinions about your truth. this place doesn't just build bodies. it builds the kind of person who can handle whatever comes next.

I'm truly grateful to have found a functional fitness gym that complements my marathon training and is helping me rebuild after taking two years off heavy weight training. The classes are super structured and always well explained, with built-in modifications if needed. One thing I love is that each station has a TV screen showing the movements, so even if you forget, you always have a visual reference. The programming is intentional--it keeps you from getting overly fatigued or risking injury, while still challenging you to push hard when it's your turn. The rotating group format includes rest blocks that give you just enough time to recover and hit the next set strong. I love that part so much! The mix of cardio and functional strength is solid--it never feels like too much of either, and the balance is thoughtfully spread out throughout the week. And the best part? It's a real community. Everyone is genuinely supportive and here to help each other hit personal goals. Parking is super easy, too! There's a convenient lot behind the building shared with Harry's Diner, plus plenty of neighborhood parking nearby, so I've never had trouble finding a spot--even in La Jolla. The facility itself is insanely clean, well-stocked with PT and mobility tools, and clearly designed with so much intention. I don't even live in La Jolla, and I still make the commute--it's 100% worth it.

    Loved the workouts. The contract games are a damn shame…read more Let me tell you something. If you've ever dragged yourself out of a warm bed at 5:45am, looked in the mirror, and thought "today's the day I stop being a before picture" -- these trainers will meet you there. And that's the honest truth. The training at Fitstop La Jolla is the real deal. Classes start on time. They're efficient. The energy's positive. Nobody makes you feel like a sack of laundry for not deadlifting a Buick. The trainers are the whole reason this place works -- encouraging, locked in, they meet you exactly where you are. A few of them are flat-out spectacular. They pay attention. They actually care. As a guy showing up to 6am classes trying to turn things around and start crushing life, I felt supported every single morning. No notes. That part earned five stars. Couple small things, and I'm barely complaining. The music gets... lyrically adventurous. If you've ever done burpees at 6:15am while a grown man on the speakers describes things you wouldn't want said about your daughter -- you might train at Fitstop. But hey, they want it edgy. Who cares. Not my hill to die on. Here's my hill. I tried to leave. And here's the kicker -- I did it right. I gave the exact 28-day written notice their own contract spells out, in writing, by the book. You'd think that'd be the easy part. You'd be wrong. Instead of "got it, here's your last day," I got the runaround. By my read they're billing me nearly a month past what their own contract says I owe -- a 28-day notice somehow turned into a final date that doesn't line up with 28 days from anything. And when I pointed out the math, the answer was basically "no discrepancy," with no real explanation of how the dates work. Upton Sinclair said it best: it's hard to get a man to understand something when his salary depends on not understanding it. And let me be real clear, because this is the part that matters. This is NOT a "read the fine print" review. I read the fine print. I followed the fine print. The problem isn't the fine print -- the problem is they don't honor what's in it. If you've ever followed a contract to the letter and watched a company wave off the math with "no discrepancy" -- you might be cancelling a Fitstop membership. And that's the shame of it. I liked these people. The fitness side deserved a way better review than this. But it doesn't matter how good you feel at 6am if you walk out the door at the end feeling like you got worked over. You can build all that goodwill at sunrise and torch it at the billing desk. Honor your own contract and this is easily four stars. Great trainers. Just know that when it's time to leave, that's where the workout really starts.
