I can't say enough about Scott Isley as a trainer. I first found him when I was looking for someone…read moreto help my son prepare for Navy physical training. Scott not only helped him gain muscle and lose weight, but also inspired him with a positive, practical approach to nutrition and training. As a former college athlete--and coach--I was impressed enough to start working with Scott myself. Even after years of old injuries, Scott has helped me regain flexibility, improve blood flow, and strengthen areas I thought I'd lost forever. His focus on stretching, joint mobility, and opening up the hips has been life-changing. What sets Scott apart is his positivity. He's encouraging without ever letting you slack, making sure you're doing things the right way--both in the gym and on your own. Even after moving from Encinitas to North Park, I still see him twice a week and follow his daily workouts, because I simply can't imagine training with anyone else. Scott is knowledgeable, motivating, and genuinely invested in his clients' progress. If you're serious about making real changes--whether you're an athlete, preparing for military fitness, or just looking to feel stronger and healthier--Scott is the trainer you want in your corner.

If you're serious about improving your health, strength, and flexibility, Scott is the trainer you…read morewant. I'm 44 and have been active most of my life, but working with Scott has taken my fitness to a new level. In just four months, I've seen major improvements in my strength and body composition--all without injury. His training is efficient, effective, and tailored. I don't want to overthink my workouts, and with Scott, I don't have to--he plans everything, corrects my form, and keeps me progressing. All I do is show up and put in the work. If that sounds like your style, I highly recommend training with Scott. You'll definitely see real results. Thanks brotha!

Joining this gym and training with LT are 2 of the best decisions I have ever made. Not only have I noticed physical gains I have also noticed substantial improvements to my confidence and mental health as a whole, which are much more important to me than my appearance. Your health begins between the ears and as coach Jordyn preaches, it's Mind over Muscle. Courtney has an absolute amazing team and her head trainer Bryce has made time for me and answered questions when I was unsure of how to properly use a piece of equipment. When I first walked in, I spoke with John, I explained to him my needs and my goals, and he pointed me right to LT , which I'm very very grateful for. In my experience with other gyms, the trainers will usually try to fake it till they make it just to sign up a new client, but this was not the case here. If you're looking for an amazing gym with phenomenal people, and you want to learn self-defense in the process, get your membership here and sign up with LT. If self-defense is not what you're looking for, check out their website, look through all the trainers, as it appears each one of them specializes in different avenues of fitness.

If you choose not to read my lengthy review, bottom line Coach Vishal is rude and immature. The…read morenegative review is not based on the services I received but on his behavior after. He began yelling at me over the phone. He was so disrespectful and aggressive I don't feel comfortable being in his presence. He also illegally charged my card. He also responded to this review with a lengthy email telling me I'm tremendously out of shape, amongst other things. Great way to body shame someone trying to get into shape. I made the mistake of inquiring about the "free" 4week booty challenge I saw on Facebook. You can pay $300 for the challenge or $400. With $400, if you lose a certain percentage of your body fat you get all your money back, if you don't you get $200 credit to roll into another program. I've belonged to gyms before but I'm unmotivated to go. I hate wasting money so I figured this challenge would help. You also can't miss any of the classes. I met with Coach Vishal 3/6 to sign up and pay $350, I had already left a $50 deposit. My training sessions were MWF for 1 hour. 3/9 I worked out with him and he told us after he would be out for surgery (why wouldn't you inform new clients of this so they could make the decision to sign up later). So, that Wednesday and Friday he had a substitute. During that week the whole Covid 19 happened. I contacted him 3/16 about my concerns because my roommates were super paranoid about the whole thing and didn't think the gym was safe, since they had started closing down places. He told me as a courtesy he could give me a credit for 9 sessions but he can't force me to workout. I said that's fine. I'll contact you in a couple weeks when this thing dies down (unbeknownst to me). That same week some gyms chose to be proactive and close but by 3/18 they were mandated, including The Gym. (You have to pay $40 for one month to join the gym to do the Pumpz challenge) Vishal did not reach out to any of his students. 3/24 I contacted him. I wanted to know about the challenge. He replied but didn't answer my question. On 3/27 he sent out a link to a free home workout, in case we didn't feel comfortable going to the gym (impossible since it's closed). 3/27 So since he had time to send messages, but couldn't reply to me, I contacted my bank to file a dispute because Vishal could no longer provide the services seeing as the gym was closed. None of us know when the stay home order will be lifted and it's unfair for him to keep all of my money. Anything could happen, he could go out of business, I could move die anything! So my bank withdrew the payment and gave me a temporary credit. Coach Vishal chose to simply charge my card again on 4/8. I called my cc company and they thought possibly I was set up for reoccurring payment. No I signed up for a one time 4 week challenge, meeting 3 times weekly MWF. Classes commenced 3/9 and set to end 4/3. So I disputed that charge too. Well 4/21 I received a phone call from Vishal. He said there's a problem with your payment. I said yes I disputed it after you didn't respond. He said I don't have time to respond to everybody. (But he's posting on fb about how bored he is and what else do you have to do, you can't work! ) I said well I'll be happy to pay again once this is lifted and gyms open. He said no it doesn't work that way. All my time that I put in making your diet (10 minutes). I said well I'll pay you $100 for the one week I attended. He became very irate started yelling at me. I said I'm not going to have this conversation right now with you like this. He said I didn't respond to the first notice (from my cc company) but I'll respond to the new one. I said you also illegally charged my card after they withdrew the payment. I ended up saying do what you have to do and hung up because how can you converse with someone that's arguing, yelling, and unreasonable. Vishal's behavior shows that he's a poor business man and doesn't respect his clients. I've read other Yelp reviews and he even called someone an idiot! I think Vishal only approaches women like this. He talks about wasting his time, but he wants to waste my money. Bottom line is do to unforeseeable circumstances he can't provide the service I signed up for during the timespan I signed up for.

It all started in May! I decided I would commit to the first gym that opened so I did. For years…read moreI had switched gyms left and right. I am a massive believer in the Law of attraction. Whatever it's something to do~~~ After being around some of the most motivational pro/ameture physique, power lifting and true body builders. I started to look at my training. I was going full throttle Seven days per week at The Gym and started to lean out, get my pre covid shape back! Then one day I really paid attention to Coach Vishal while he was training someone in The gym. Being a curious, outgoing go getter type I asked him some questions? He took the time to kind of evaluate me in an inderect manner. Then he offered to help me out with my diet!!! What a train wreck that was. All along I assumed I was eating right. I certainly wasn't. He gave me a direct diet blueprint for what I wanted. Powerlift my favorite pastime, bodybuilding my favorite new pastime. I signed up for an intensive training and diet package. I committed to myself! Go to the next level. Coach Vishal started by determining my strength! I did my first PR's with him and totaled 1460 on Bench squat and Deadlift. First baseline was about a month into training. Then we switched to bodybuilding! What a great experience!! Re learning the science behind shaping the body was amazing! COACH V always takes his time in answering your serious questions. He always helps guide you through your stupidity without ever making you feel stupid! Priceless!! So my second PR week 6 weeks after the first earned Vishal legend status in my short list of amazing coaches. Football, baseball, wrestling, strength. Going into PR week I was a mess. Sore, anxious, scared. At the end of PR week I crushed my goals, previous PR'S 1605. 500 BENCH 585 SQUAT 520 DEADLIFT. Never imagined any of this was possible at 41 years old. The split second my wife has her kneck, shoulder surgery complete. Vishal will gain her as well!! I am better through 2020 because of Vishal and PumpZfitness.

I tried popular home workout plans and bought a membership to a big box gym, but it wasn't long before I dreaded my workouts due to lack of direction and minimal progress. I can confidently say that I have exceeded any fitness expectations that I previously set for myself, all because of the trainers at 181 Fitness, who are extremely knowledgeable and truly CARE about each client. They work with all fitness levels, to make the workouts work for you, not the reverse. If something doesn't feel right, I let one of the trainers know, and without hesitation they switch it out for a different exercise. Since joining 181, I now feel like each one of my workouts is well thought out and has a purpose. Can't recommend it highly enough!

I was initially drawn to No Limits Fitness due to its proximity to my home, but unfortunately, my…read moreexperience was a letdown. The gym's outdated and dingy atmosphere was a concern, but I decided to give it a chance after meeting Sandy Dean, a personal trainer recommended to me. However, training with Sandy Dean was a disappointment. Our second session was canceled due to her no-show, and subsequent sessions failed to deliver. The workouts were disorganized, and Sandy struggled to manage training two clients simultaneously. Instead of focused exercise, our sessions often devolved into conversation, , her personal matters ., she is all over the place . We rarely felt like we got a thorough workout, with only one exception, after mentioning this . To make matters worse, when I decided to cancel my personal training sessions due to the subpar experience, Sandy Dean ignored my text messages requesting a refund. This lack of professionalism and poor communication only added to my frustration. Don't pay for training I'm advance. Sandy won't pay you back . The overall experience was unsatisfactory, and I wouldn't recommend training with Sandy Dean or No Limit Fitness.
