I started doing zoom Gut Check fitness routines with Joe and Nicole during the Covid shutdowns and instead of drinking and gaining weight, I lost weight, gained strength and endurance and had fun doing it. They typically do zoom meetings live at 6am on Monday, Wednesday and Fridays. I don't really like waking up that early and can't always do them on those days, which works out as you can do these workouts any time and day of the week. They also have in person group classes. I make their Saturday morning classes every so often and they are very fun, and by fun, I mean they hurt. Thanks for the motivation and smiles!

I bought a Groupon to get five bootcamp classes and I survived my fourth so I decided to celebrate…read morewith my first Yelp review! Why I like it: 1) I could never get a work out like this on my own. The mix of cardio, strength, and just plain belligerent challenge is beyond the realm of my imagination. They don't call it bootcamp for nothing. 2) Joe is a very motivational and dynamic trainer. He and Nicole have great attitudes and push you but only as far as you can go. They do most of the workout with you and spend the rest of the time cheering you on. 3) Even without the Groupon, this is good value. The classes are usually small enough to get a good amount of attention (unless you go to one of the special ones like a "hit the surf" workout but then the big group is just super fun). Even in the bigger group, Joe organizes it very well and you will definitely get what you need. WARNING: Initial side effects include nausea/vomiting, inability to raise one's arms above ones head, and "Chihuahua quiver" after participation in activities like "Dragon's Backbone." DO NOT be alarmed. No one has died yet. Try it, you might just like it.

Ryan evaluated me a few months ago and created an individualized plan based on my goals. When I started I would say I was at 50% and today I'm at 98%! I feel incredible! Strong, fit, and my back is almost fully healed. I'm doing exercises I wasn't sure I would ever be able to do again. My mobility and strength is better than it's ever been. At 45 years old, I'm feeling my best thanks to Ryan. I'm going back to playing basketball! I thought my hooping days were over for good. Highly recommend! Ryan is truly gifted.

25% to 18% in one month. My weight stayed the same at 192 lbs. Nate is the real deal. I…read moreinterviewed four other trainer's before choosing Nate, and I'm very happy with my choice. One thing is abundantly clear: Nate really knows his profession. Nate is going to go hard on you, but if you follow the diet plan and show up for the workouts, you'll get results. It's that simple. In my case, I asked Nate to "take the thinking" out of the equation for me. I wanted to cut past all of the misinformation out there and just get the results I wanted. Normally, I don't try to judge people by their looks. But when I was interviewing trainers, I judged them by their looks. If the trainer didn't have the kind of body I was looking for, or set an incredible example through themselves, I didn't want to work with him. All you need to do is take one look at Nate. I said to myself, "If he can help me look the way he looks, this is my trainers." He insists he gives me the same workouts he does himself, just at different weight and intensity levels appropriate for me. I'm almost three months into training with Nate, and although it's hard, I'm really happy with my progress. I'm injury free, and people are telling me all the time that they can see the difference. Nate also is a believer in natural body building and weight lifting. He actively recommended against supplements, pills, or (almost) anything unnatural. (He did recommend a protein powder, hardly a natural product :) He also educated me on clean eating. One session with Nate and you'll know you've found your trainer!

I have trained with a handful of trainers in San Diego and I am happy to say that Nate has been the…read morebest one so far. When I first started, I was uncertain about competing in a bikini competition but knew it was always something I wanted to experience. Nate not only helped me achieve the physical goals I wanted for myself, but he also helped me gain the confidence to be comfortable on stage and provided me with support every single step of the way! I just finished my first competition with Nate and I am happy to say that that I placed TWICE and I wouldn't of been able to do it without my amazing trainer! He was there from helping me pick out my suit, hair, makeup, posing, diet, EVERYTHING, and I knew I could count on him to answer all my questions every step of the way! Nate is the total complete package and is very knowledgeable about fitness and nutrition whether you're looking to just lose a few pounds or finally live out of your comfort zone and step on that stage. I would recommend Nate as a trainer to all my closest friends and family and I completely trust that his priority is always the clients' needs and goals. I can guarantee you that whatever goals you have, I have no doubt that Nate can help you achieve every single one of them!

Working with Dylan I was able to strengthen my core to eliminate the back pain and lose extra weight. I initially thought it was indulgent to pay for a personal trainer but realized I really needed a schedule and supervision to achieve these goals (after all, a chiropractor is more expensive!). Dylan is really pleasant to be around- kind and interesting as well as super knowledgable about the body. He is flexible- we've worked out both on campus at the SDSU gym as well as outdoors in park space for COVID safety in recent months. I get bored easily with one routine so has been great that he really shifts things around and brings in new exercises frequently. Working with him is definitely worth it.

I can honestly say I've never felt more comfortable in the gym after having horrible self confidence issues in the past. Not only did I find a trainer in Haley, but I found a cheerleader, an accountability partner, and a motivator. I've never been so excited to set and work towards my goals. So sad to have left CA now but grateful that Haley adapted her program and continues to work with me virtually.

I'm known for brutal honesty in my Yelp reviews, so you know I'm not playing around when I say that ReadyRock has literally changed my life. Lani has been training me for a few months now, and she's brilliant at keeping me on my toes, nudging my body in new directions while keeping me interested and inspired. I actually look forward to working out with her, and the workouts are never the same, so I don't get bored. I have enjoyed all sorts of workouts in San Diego, from Barry's Bootcamp to Bar Method, other personal trainers, etc., but this is the first time I've seen this sort of body change and so quickly - ironically with less time spent working out than ever before. Proof is in the pictures- my before/afters are actually used on their site. In the past, I'd worked with personal trainers who are busy checking themselves out in the mirror, pushing you just to see if they can break you, and comparing your body to theirs. ReadyRock's approach is so different that I wish it was the national standard. If you're looking for a personal trainer in San Diego, you'd be crazy not to call them. Like, CRAZY. Says me.
