I'm still using a ton of what he taught me despite not being nearby anymore and of all time or resources I've ever invested in, I don't know if I've used anything nearly as much. These guys do great work, you won't regret dropping by. Thanks again Adrian!

But to be honest, I'm not a huge fan of rules or following directions, but Adrian and his team will make you want to actually do. the. work. They're cool people who ultimately want you to achieve your goals, whatever they happen to be, and to be honest, I'd feel like a terrible person if I didn't make it happen! Through the challenge, I was able to lose about 23lbs, in a sensible, seemingly sustainable (only time will tell) way. The workouts are as challenging as you want to make them, so it doesn't matter if you have poor motor skills (me) or are a super hero, you can and will get the job done, because Adrian and Daniel won't let you settle for the easy way out. The meal plan is sensible and simple, and in general, my overall experience has been pretty excellent. I've even canceled my membership at my regular gym, so that I could keep playing here!

Teresa is fantastic. She's attentive, knowledgeable, and fun. Working out has never been something…read moreI looked forward to and with her it's enjoyable AND I see results! She listens to what I want to focus on, what my pain points are and tailors each session to my needs. She's also a stickler for form and safety. Things that I appreciate because they've made me so much more comfortable going to the gym on my own outside of my sessions with her. I now understand equipment and what it does AND - most importantly - how to use it safely. She's also great with nutrition. I told her I loved beer and I wasn't going to give it up. She's helped me find ways to alter my relationship to food so that I can still enjoy things I love BUT make healthier choices. She's realistic, honest and a fantastic cheerleader. You tell her your goals and she helps you get there. In short: She's awesome. Get in touch with her. You won't regret it.

I have done boot camps, gyms, classes before but none of it has really stuck or made me feel comfortable. Working with Teresa has motivated me and made me excited to go work out and feel better. When we first met we talked about my goals and how I want to achieve them. Teresa has walked me through them and given me ideas on how to achieve them or make them attainable. I have lost weight and inches off my body and I have had non-scale wins as well in my day to day life. I highly recommend her for anyone looking for a personal trainer who motivates you, listens to you, and is just an all around great person! Thank you so much Teresa!

Hello beautiful people! Today, I want to share with you an amazing experience…read more I came to San Diego Strength and Wellness at a dire time in my life. I had received the news that I might need knee surgery due to a tear on my ACL and Meniscus. That evening I spoke to my dear friend Ben and he asked me the following " do you want to wait and see what the doctors say? Or do you want to give your knee a fighting chance at recovery through proper physical training? The thought of getting in better shape, not going under the knife and giving my body a chance to heal was too tempting to pass. I said "YES". I then asked " what do I need to do?" and he just said "just trust me Sal". We immediately set up our workout schedule and he asked me to send him photos of everything I was eating throughout my day. Twice a week I did 60 minute personal training sessions and sent him daily photos of my meals until I refined my eating habits. I can honestly say I am not dieting. I eat what I want, when I want. I just crave healthy stuff and that is what I had been chasing for a long time; sustainable healthy eating habits. With this said I want to thank you Ben! First of all, your work ethic is contagious and the foundation to your success. Your gym is clean, not crowded, it has great energy and the team you have created is 2nd to none. Your whole team has eagerness to help and develop the talent that goes in seeking help/guidance on improving both mentally and physically. I can now say that after 3 months of hardwork in and outside the gym, that I am stronger body and mind, healthier, and the fittest I've ever been. Oh and did I mention, NO SURGERY NEEDED!! Started 2022 at 173lbs, got to San Diego Strength and Wellness at 163lbs and after 3 months got down to 148lbs. Slowly losing fat and gaining muscle. Being healthy is not easy and/or quick; it takes time, dedication, persistence, and above all, resilience to adhere to your objective. Thank you all for the support in this journey and for your continued support in my next journey!

Getting a personal trainer at SDSW was a great investment and one of my best decisions I ever made…read more The facility itself is always clean, has lots of great equipment that emphasizes more on functional strength, and great trainers that are legit and knowledgable. I joined because I wanted to prepare for my College Volleyball Season by increasing my athleticism and strength. My trainer Julia really pushed me. Being a former collegiate athlete herself, she knew what it takes to be successful at the next level. Despite only meeting with her twice a week, I have gotten a lot stronger and gained 8lbs of muscle going from 143lbs to 151lbs. She taught me lots of different exercises that help me strengthen my entire body, especially my hips, legs, core, and at the same time increasing my overall flexibility and mobility all of which have translated on the volleyball court. I don't think I ever been pushed more physically and mentally any where else. Look no further this is the best gym in SD. Highly recommend.

I recommend Kalina's Coaching highly and without reservation. I am currently employed in a…read morecompetitive sales position and Kalina has helped me to change my career goals and achieve career growth beyond anything I could have done alone. Kalina does so much 'right' as a coach - a great balance of empathy and accountability. She is human and compassionate and at the same time shows up on time and is reliable. She is an amazing listener, really cares, has precise follow up, and is also very professional in her conduct. Kalina custom tailors her solutions based on her amazing listening skills as well as her intuitive sense of what will help you and it does! Kalina is an example of work life balance, chasing her own goals and is constantly learning in her own life. Kalina holds so much space for me during coaching and shares meaningful experiences from her own life which has made me aware that she has experienced career change and growth for herself. It makes me believe that even more career change and growth are possible for me too! Kalina helped me shift my focus from nonessential activities to identifying the key activities that drive my business. She's brilliant, and it's been an honor to work with her! Thank you Kalina!!

I'll start by saying I couldn't be more appreciative of Kalina's acumen and commitment to her…read morecraft. I trusted her with something I would normally take care of myself, and she humbled me. For that, she deserves all the praise (and all the stars). For ANYONE on the fence about whether or not she is the right choice, trust me, she's very good at what she does. -- I'm a 34 year old male, athlete, and Army veteran. I've been physically active my entire life and I was not new to fitness at all. Unfortunately, a recent 2-3 year span left me about 10lbs to 15lbs heavier than I had ever been. My lifestyle hadn't changed much in those few years, so I was a bit confused about why I had accumulated body fat at a slow, steady rate. Furthermore, I began to realize I wasn't as driven as I once was. So, I decided to hire a personal trainer for the first time in my life. What a great decision. I did not know Kalina until I approached her for training. Kalina trained me for 4 months, 3 times per week. To keep it simple, here are a few things that really stood out to me about her approach to training: 1. She put effort into learning my strengths and weaknesses, then took a strategic approach to my workouts that brought results without sacrificing my health and wellness. It really felt like a sustainable fitness lifestyle, as opposed to a grueling, temporary bootcamp. That's a first for me. 2. She is fully committed to maintaining a healthy standard. From our first session to the very last (literally down to my last set), she corrected my posture, controlled my range of motion, and made sure I was doing every movement properly. She never let the standard drop, which is impressive. 3. She runs her business in a very professional manner. Everything from scheduling sessions during the week, to keeping track of make-up sessions if we had to cancel a session for whatever reason. It was very clear that she has a system in place for managing her clients and she did an excellent job of communicating. 4. She and I knew from the beginning that I'd only need training for a few months. However, she treated me like she'd be my trainer for years to come. She was dedicated to making sure I'd be able to maintain the lifestyle after our time was complete. What a selfless approach to providing a service. 5. She's simply a nice person to be around. This doesn't have much to do with training, but who wants to spend 2 to 4 hours per week with an unpleasant person? We had great conversations that never got in the way of my training sessions. No matter how lethargic I'd feel on any given day, I always enjoyed my time learning and conversing with Kalina. I feel like I made a new friend. -- Our last session was about a month ago. Though we've spoken a few times since, she hasn't asked me to write a review. I'm writing this because she deserves all the stars, and because I hope it helps someone else make a great decision. I have zero regrets for being one of "Kalina's beasties," as she likes to say. :)

She's great at inspiring them to be their best while being mindful not to break their spirits in the process. That positive reinforcement is what makes the difference. She's intentional about the techniques she uses to help the kids improve, while consistently encouraging them and reminding them how strong she knows they are--not just physically, but mentally too. I also love that her class sizes aren't too big. She's able to give each kid individual attention and adjust the program as needed to meet the needs of the group. It's clear that Sandra is invested in her clients' overall health and performance, not just teaching traditional boxing moves. 10/10--I highly recommend Women's Power House Boxing!
