I am an absolute believer of writing reviews, it helps other people considering to do the challenge…read moreand I am willing to share all about my experience so read below! Let me start by saying that I was greatly skeptical about it and also I want to make it clear that I am a real customer and not paid or biased in any way. All my life I've struggled with weight loss, weight gain and a lifelong struggle with obesity that started in my teen years. I stand proud and happy to successfully completed the 6 weeks challenge at Fit Body Bootcamp resulting in 20.4lbs lost and meeting the goal! I can say that I DO BELIEVE in the program giving successful results and I do want to do another challenge or signing up for a membership in the future after getting my refund back. I understand that I have still a long way to go and weightloss is about lifelong and permanent changes. Where The Gold Is. The coaches/trainers. They are a group of knowledgeable, encouraging, enthusiastic, funny, kind and overall professional people!!! They really really help you. They CARE! Sure, people will say: "just do HIT training, keep a low carb diet and do it on your own" but I would tell you that what I noticed is this: they lead you as to: 1. HOW to do the exercises to maximize your weight loss, to know that you ARE working the muscles you are supposed to work. 2. HOW to exercise so that you don't get hurt and/or strain your body. 3. Encourage you, entertain you and support you. You cannot have this if you do it on your own; at least that's my humble opinion. Where You Do Your Part. The food/meal plan is where your hard work starts. The hardest part for me was not the diet, the diet for me was great because I was soo full all the time, I was shocked at the amount of food I was eating! Obviously the key here is the type of food you're eating, you will not eat junk, drink, no sugary stuff etc. You WILL get used to it, or at least I did. But here's that hardest part for me: MEAL PREP, finding the time to meal prep juggling working 40-48 hrs per week and attending a husband, 2 cats, and other responsibilities was EXHAUSTING I can honestly say that was my biggest STRUGGLE. Alas you can do it, you can make changes to take care of your life and health. You need discipline and dedication but honestly I look back and say that it was well worth it. Also, know that you already gain A LOT by knowing that meal plan, it is sustainable, it is enjoyable if you really get creative like I did to include flavor but still comply with the meal plan. The meal plan is already putting you at an advantage and it has a lot of value to have that knowledge. Other Advice. Good things in life are hard to come by, so do your part and I wish you the best of luck. PS. I write blogs and currently working on one about my weight loss, travel, cooking etc. if you're interested send me a message so I can give you a link to my blog and other blogs I've written also available.

Bait and switch marketing. FBBC Poway offers a 6 week "free" class, once you're there it becomes a…read more$500 program that is "refundable" or partially refundable. If you're at a normal BMI they set the goal to 6% body fat and of you're above normal you lose 20 pounds. They have no standard of measurement prior to the first or last measurement and the device they use has a margin of error of 3.5-4.1%. Then when don't reach the goal, they do not honor a partial refund and only offer a credit to continue. I went from 199 to 187.4 in 6 weeks. The device said I lost 1.6% body fat and it increased from the prior two weeks each week. Mathematically it makes no sense. I would have to have lost 4.2% of muscle and water over 6 weeks; a total of 8.2 pounds of water and muscle. With that being said, if you follow the program you will lose weight. If you're looking to commit for 6 months, the initial $500 will get you another 5 months and may be worth it to you. I was looking for a 6 week program to get me back on track after breaking my leg, not false advertising and forced membership or an expensive 6 week program. Just keep in mind thos program is 90% diet based. Lean protein, vegetables, and very limited carbs; no sugar, or alcohol.

I'm not a big review writer BUT I've really enjoyed my time at CrossFitSun. I love love love…read moreTrainer Jen and her Strong Start courses. She is so warm and welcoming and she genuinely looks like she's enjoying what she's doing. It's not just a job for her but a joint journey through fitness. I am not athletic and had embraced my sedentary lifestyle for decades... until now. Through Jen's Foundation course and Build Together course, she's taught me the basics on how to get stronger, healthier, and athletically smarter. She touches on the science behind how and why we should do specific motions. Then demonstrates amazing examples on what poor vs correct techniques look like. She isn't shy to correct my form (but in a fun, encouraging way). Classes are small so you are guaranteed attention and personalized feedback. Guaranteed she is your #1 cheerleader through it all. I'm so happy with how far I've come in just a couple months. I've already signed up for her next cycle! Also, quick shout out to Trainer Leslie and her MomFit class! I dropped in on a few of these and this class is also great. Leslie has a keen eye on catching even just the smallest adjustments for improving your form. It's always a great time at CrossFitSun

I definitely feel the community is one of the main reasons why I keep coming back day after day. Over the decade, priorities and goals change. I joined Coach Leslie's Mom Fit class so I can get additional strength training in. Since starting earlier this year, I've increased lean mass by 3.8 lbs, as well as decrease my fat mass, visceral fat, and fat percentage. All measured by DEXA scans. If you're willing to put in the work, whether you're new to weights, experienced or have other goals, Leslie can lead the way. I've also had the pleasure of training with Coach Jen (aka Chloe). She's a Hyrox athlete and has set-up the Strong Start program for women. Foundations for those brand new and Build for those with more experience.

Bumped up to 5 stars !!!!…read more New location in RB!! Major upgrade! This place holds a special place in my heart! I visited this spot when it first opened over 9 years ago! Crazy! I've seen the changes of location and each one has been a step up from the previous! A good sign that the owner, Cat is doing something right. I love her passion, drive, and positivity! She really cares about her clients and their successes and that's why her business has flourished throughout the years. She has an amazing backstory of how she started her business. Follow your dreams! Truly inspiring woman. Location is just off the 15 Freeway so it's easy access with tons of parking. There's also restaurants and a nail salon if you want to pamper yourself nearby. The studio is on the second floor up a flight of stairs. The interior is open, bright, and inviting. The motivating wall quotes (my favs!) are displayed throughout their studio and even the bathroom stalls! Looooove it! The spin room is spacious and the perfect size to fit in spin bikes, weights, mats, and other equipment (see pics and videos). Everything is well-maintained, sanitized, and clean. The bathroom has showers and cubbies. An added bonus for those that need to go to work after. The workouts may sound like your average strength training,TRX, and spin class but there's something special about the people. Instructors are just as passionate and you can tell they are a supportive community with similar goals. I always feel welcome when I'm here. You won't get much of that at a standard gym. This seems more intimate and they even remember your name and cheer you on in class. How cool is that? Workouts vary, but I have tried the following: Spin Sculpt Fusion - My favs! TRX, Spin, and Strength Spin Core Bootcamp - Cat's class is hardcore !! They also have HIIT and Spin and online classes via OnDemand! You have so many options to workout and have fun at the same time! I take them through ClassPass and just recently bought a package since I enjoy a variety of workouts, but anything that involves spin will be my go to! They have great deals on packages that never expire. Locals also get their first class for FREE. Definitely give them a shot if you are in the area. You'll get hooked! I have only positive things to say about Studio Sweat and highly recommend them to all my family and friends.

I started as an intermittent visitor when they were in the studio in the strip mall, joined when they were hanging out in Poway at the soccer park and continued the path as it moved to the business park. This is were life becomes a marvel! Challenges occurred. FWRD+ focused, stayed on track and prevailed. The new location is a class junkie's spaced-out dream! Yes! There is plenty of space, fresh air with giant fans, rollup doors and beautiful plants. It's at least 4 times the size. The vast lobby and the roomy classroom with the high-impact floors are touched with a tasteful decor. Multiply this with the quality classes, merchandise and other woman-owned options like Fresh Creations, you've got more opportunities. You can workout, hang out or even eat while you're becoming reacquainted with yourself, new friends or simply being. A big thanks for sharing strength, fortitude and determination to create a desirable entity. Come in, burn calories and leave wanting more. Yes, you do you. Everyone is welcome! FWRD+ has definitely grown itself into the Wellness Collective.

The trainers are super helpful, encouraging and always motivating and challenging us. I need to modify for lots of injuries and they always find substitutes that accommodate my injuries and are still challenging. Zero issues with management, they are caring, open to hear our opinions and run a tight ship. Having childcare is amazing, no excuses for this mana! All the childwatch employees are angels and I love that my girls can watch their mama get strong from the little window. But it's the community for me... WILDLY supportive, I never feel intimidated or judged. I only feel loved! Everyone who works out here is genuinely kind and always cheering for you, which is just a testament to the hard work the leadership team has done to cultivate this culture of support. I'm a member for life!

I've been coming to Fitness4ward for over a year, and it's been a life changer. I started coming…read morehere because I'd had a lot of medical procedures that left my health in shambles. I checked out other gyms, but this was definitely the best because: 1. An emphasis on strength and conditioning. I wanted more than just cardio, cardio, cardio. It was going to take more than just cardio to get my health back. I needed a well-rounded program that would build muscle and endurance. 2. Training quality. A lot of gyms have you just follow an app and speed through circuits, but I wanted actual people who could teach me correct form and give me personalized, real feedback. If I was going to follow an app, I could honestly just do that at home with an app from my phone, and it would be a fraction of the price with similar quality. The coaches at Fitness4ward are excellent, and a lot of the older members are extremely knowledgeable and happy to help too. 3. Pricing. It's actually a better deal per workout when compared to most chain gyms. If you want to work out consistently more than just twice a week, this gym is very affordable. (I come around 3 to 4 times a week.) I got my health back thanks to this gym. Before, I couldn't even walk my dogs for ten minutes without facing severe physical consequences for the rest of the day. Not only have I recovered my health, but I've fallen in love with working out in and of itself. It's surprising and exhilarating to push your body and mind out of your comfort zone and have it reach new limits that you thought were possible for everyone but yourself. And don't be intimidated by the program or the more experienced members! I never felt like anyone was judging me when I was brand new and couldn't even do three push ups. I'm still not the best even now, but I don't feel intimidated or judged. Everyone is at different levels and has a different story My husband is coming out with me now too, and we are both grateful to have a great gym where we can improve and maintain our health
