I thought it was going to be a short phase in my life going here, but little did I know that I would end up falling in love with it and continuing it after moving to San Marcos. Seriously, every Orange Theory I've gone to has the best trainers and team. They are so great at recruiting the best people who are welcoming, warm, encouraging, and caring. The workout classes are well structured, the facilities and equipment are clean, the energy is immaculate, everything about Orange Theory impresses me. The music always pumps me up too and makes me feel super alive! Haha. I decided recently to come back to Orange Theory and honestly, it has truly made me a happier person. I have been loving the San Marcos team so much, and especially a special shout out to the studio manager, Ash, for always making me feel valued and welcomed, and Coach Kyle for also being an exceptional trainer. You guys really know how to make everyone in the class feel important & I love y'all for that!!

I joined Orangetheory in San Marcos, CA, about five years ago. We were just coming off the…read morepandemic, and I had completely lost my workout motivation. Worse, I felt incredibly weak. Orangetheory gave me my courage back and inspired me to return to fitness. Words truly cannot describe how appreciative I am. When I start my day with an OTF workout, I feel like I have so much more energy to continue my day. Though I have visited many other Orangetheory studios across the country, the San Marcos location holds a very special place in my heart. The coaching team, the management, and the community of members are simply awesome--it's a place where even a simple high-five goes a long way. I want to give a huge, special shout-out to our Head Coach, Brianna! Your unmatched leadership, guidance, and constant encouragement are the reasons this studio feels like home. Plus, your workout playlists and high-energy atmosphere are absolutely elite and keep the whole room hyped and motivated! Thank you all for always pushing us to be our best.

Been going here for a little over 6 months now and there is an unbelievably supportive and…read moreknowledgeable staff here. The coaches instill great fundamentals in all of the members and don't push you into an unsafe environment. I was initially concerned about being able to keep up with the workouts for the first week, but it turns out ALL workouts and movements have multiple "scaled" versions, so all workouts are very beginner friendly. Also, the community is fantastic. All very friendly and outgoing (that's what makes this place special). You'll find people of all levels - much less about competing with each other and more about improving yourself. They even have 5AM and 6:15AM classes M-F, so you can get your workout in before work if you have family commitments after work. No excuses!

This was my second time at Performance Fitness Camp…read morein just six months, and I honestly do not know how this is possible, but somehow it was even better than the first. The first experience was exceptional, and this one went beyond that. What makes PFC special is the people. All of them. From the facilities team, to the health and wellness team, fitness coaches, sales crew and chefs. The entire team is what makes this place feel so special. The campers are people of every age, size, gender, and background here, and they make every single person feel supported and cared for exactly where they are on their fitness journey. Being at Omni La Costa is always a dream. The surroundings are beautiful, calm, and grounding, and they make the whole experience feel even better. For me, a week at PFC is the perfect reset, especially at the start of a new year. The balance of movement, recovery, health, and nourishment is just right. The food and health program is thoughtful, delicious, and sustainable, and it supports you without ever feeling restrictive. I just wrapped up the week and I can't get back soon enough!

A few months ago I finished up another great stay at PFC. It was my second time participating and…read moreboth of my visits were incredibly positive experiences. The trainers are the best. They have a wealth of knowledge and are very supportive. The meals are prepared daily by a team of fantastic chefs using only the finest and freshest ingredients. In addition to the challenging workouts and great food, the program offers lectures on an array of health related topics, fun cooking demonstrations and various outings to local beaches and parks. While I wasn't focused on losing weight, I did manage to shed several pounds and returned home feeling refreshed, energized and much healthier. And it is at home where the challenges begin. It is very tricky to transition from the on-site program to regular home life. Fortunately, PFC has launched a new offering called the At Home Program. I really encourage you to give it a try. It has exceeded my expectations. With the At Home Program, I have been partnered with a smart, positive and super knowledgeable coach named Shelby. She has set me up for lasting success! I can't say enough about the support I receive from her. Every week we check-in and she provides targeted guidance and serves as my accountability partner - which I need! She is positive and does a great job revisiting my goals and strives to help me stay on track. She is a wealth of knowledge and has helped me move closer to my desired outcomes. Thank you, PFC for launching the At Home Program and a huge shout-out to Shelby! It is worth every penny to invest in my health and well being and I encourage anyone who needs a reset to sign-up today. It's been great!

This is truly a special, special place that has changed my life for the better…read more I've been part of this fitness community for nearly 2 years now - I tried it on a Groupon whim, and it's become such an integral part of my wellness that I can't imagine ever going back to one of the soulless chain gyms. The amount of support that I receive from coaches and fellow athletes alike is something I wouldn't have believed existed, or known that I needed, until I experienced it firsthand. Instead of standing in line for equipment, we share and make sure everyone is taken care of. Instead of awkward silence in common areas, there is laughter and camaraderie. Instead of putting in my hour of exercise and clocking out for the day, there is constant motivation and support to better my health through nutrition challenges & resources. Everyone is cheered and celebrated equally - from the chubby girl in her first class doing the most scaled versions imaginable (that was me!) to the mutant superstar doing 48" box jumps and handstand push-ups like they're nothing (still not me, but maybe someday?). People in all walks of life and in all stages of fitness are welcomed into the fold. This community support is the foundation on which all of my accomplishments and improvements have been built. I can't say enough great things about the owners and coaches. This special place is clearly a product of their passion for helping people be their best selves. The class sizes are never too large for the coach to give everyone personal attention and instruction on the technical movements. Even with someone as uncoordinated as myself who needs things explained to them every time like it's my first time, they're patient and generous with their attention and help. With their help, I've done so many things I'd never imagined myself doing (HSPU and rope climbs? Ahhh!). In FLxR's walls, I have celebrated many many firsts and PRs. I feel stronger and more confident in my body's abilities than I've ever felt in my life. I've gone from dreading WOD every day to wanting, or rather NEEDING it (it's better than therapy). I'm no longer obese, no longer pre-diabetic, am completely anti-depressant free and thriving... I can't wait to see where I am in another year! I highly recommend FLxR to anyone looking to become a better, healthier version of you. Whether you're just starting down that road and looking for a judgment-free zone to start in, or you're already bad-ass and looking to improve your next open scores to the top 1%... or anywhere in between, I think there is no better place to do it. ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~~~~~~~~~ My original Review, from 2017: I drank the kool aid. I joined the cult. I fell in love with cross fit. Today is the last day of my one-month groupon and I am signing on to be a regular member. The first week was scary and intimidating. I came in overweight, NOT in shape, and terrified of all the scary looking equipment and giant weights. But the awesome coaches and friendly classmates helped me through it. No one ever made me feel silly for having to use the training bar with no weights on it while the gal next to me is lifting a bar bigger than she is. And i didn't receive an ounce less of encouragement. Every workout i survived felt like an accomplishment, boosting my self-esteem and desire to come back. The second week was hard and reluctant. I was tired and sore. There were days I took the 'just get yourself here' very literally and told myself I'd just show up and half-ass it - but of course the motivation in the air is so infectious, it's impossible to not give it your all once you're there. By the third week, it had become a staple in my day. There are days when I'm excited and can't wait for the class, and there are other days I come in tired/stressed/sore/depressed/hungover dragging myself in and whining through the warmup, but every time I leave at the end of the class i feel like a rockstar and have no pain, am full of energy, and with a big smile on my face. And the times when a trainer notices my progress and comments on it, it sends my mood soaring even higher. In the month I've been coming (5 days a week), I've lost 13lbs and one pants size. my body feels firmer. i can see muscle definition peeking out from under the receding fat. but forget all of that (yeah that's the reason i initially signed up, but now it's only a happy side effect) now i'm more excited that I'm finally off the training bar and onto the big girl bar and adding weights to it. That i'm able to finish the workouts. That i'm already down-scaling considerably less than I was a month ago. These accomplishments make me feel better about myself. I feel stronger and more powerful... I feel confident and motivated. I feel happier and healthier. I feel good. All of these factors together have contributed to me making more progress than I'd imagined was possible in only one month.
