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!

I've been working out with Andrea twice a week for the past eight months, and I can't recommend her…read morehighly enough! I came to her after doing a short stint in CrossFit, where I was struggling with hip pain and unable to keep up with the high volume of squats. My goal was to focus on strength training and building muscle. From day one, Andrea really listened and tailored our sessions to focus on building strength and muscle without aggravating my hip. Andrea is incredibly attentive to form, always making sure I'm moving safely and effectively which is a huge priority for me. I continue to progress in building up my strength and I feel stronger and more confident in my body than I have in years--I've lost body fat, gained muscle, and feel like I'm truly training with intention now. Andrea helped me with nutritional guidance, including dialing in my macros to make sure I'm fueling properly to support muscle growth. She also gives me home workouts so I can stay consistent and keep progressing even on days we're not training together. Andrea balances listening to what I want while also pushing me just the right amount. She is knowledgeable, encouraging, and genuinely invested in her clients' success. I'm so glad I found her!

My (now) husband and I were gearing up for our wedding with certain fitness goals. After doing some…read moreresearch, we connected with Andrea and have never looked back. We started off aligning on goals for BMI, strength, physique, nutrition (which I reached ahead of my wedding date thanks to Andrea!). Each training session was custom according to my and my husband's needs and mobility (per the FMS method). As we progressed Andrea tweaked the sessions accordingly, which kept workouts interesting and at the right level of difficulty. Andrea taught us tons about long-term health, nutrition and fitness that I am using in my day-to-day. Turning these habits into a new lifestyle has been the best takeaway from this experience. It was always a dream of mine to work with a personal trainer. And now I can confidently say that the sessions and results with Andrea are just as good as I imagined.

Funny thing, I actually pay for a ClassPass membership so I can studio-hop and try new things. This facility is one I discovered through CP. I debated this review, as I am not yet a member; however, I do come weekly and try different classes. While here, I observed their personal trainers working with people, and I knew instantly that I want to train here as soon as my year is up at Crunch. They really focus on form and movement here! I am aware I don't overhead squat properly, and I'm confident they can show me the proper progressions I need to do them right. My goals also include pistol squats, rehabbing my shoulder, improving my balance/stability and core, and not re-injuring. I don't know prices yet, and I will update this review when I learn more info. Total Metabolic Strength left me sweaty and tired! It was a great class... a mix of strength, agility, core, and balance. The Functional Strength Class, was eh... moderate for me. That particular day had more elderly people, and many of the exercises were not a set number of reps, but "as many as you can do". I got frustrated when they were done with Round 3 (they started putting equipment away) and I was still working Round 2. The coach had me finish my sets though, leaving them standing around talking. If I take this format again, I will bring my weighted vest with me. This center has a lot going on- there's also physical therapy and cyrotherapy. I look forward to utilizing both. I sometimes still need someone to pop my shoulder back in place haha, and cyrotherapy is great for pain management and exercise recovery. Aside from seeing individuals working out in proper form, the biggest draw for me was the vibe. As soon as I walked in, I felt welcome. They asked me my goals, and were as enthusiastic as I am about my fitness journey. The manager just so happens to exercise at my main gym, and watched me working with my trainer the day after I was here. She solidified a place in my heart because she was very supportive. She approached me to chat, and never once talked smack on my trainer... she actually praised him. That meant the world to me! I wish every gym was like this- a family who supports one another. Overall, I really love this facility and I look forward to continuing my journey here!

She showed me how to use the mega reformer and really helped make sure the class was in good form. The class went by faster than usual Pilates classes I've taken.
