When I moved to San Diego about three years ago - one of my priorities was to find my new "fit…read morefamily". It is so important to feel comfortable, welcomed and challenged when you become a member of a new fitness community. I tried a few different facilities but quickly found home at Renegade. The energy in this place is unreal... you can feel it from the moment you walk through the door. I truly think its the instructors that set Renegade apart from all of the rest. Each instructor is allowed to have their own style, playlists, etc. Because of this, their personalities really shine through. Everyone is approachable, passionate and helpful. Its a relationship level most facilities strive for but miss. These are not your stereotypical instructors, they are Athletes. There is a "team" mentality here! As for the workout... get ready to WORK! They have three elements - the Cardio, Rack and Turf. Each element has a structured 15 minute intense workout. The program is constantly evolving, its almost indescribable because you really never know what you're going to get! Yes, it is hard. However, it is for everyone and EVERY fitness level. You will never find yourself bored, plateaued or unstimulated. You will leave each workout feeling accomplished. After a two+ years of commuting to Point Loma and Hillcrest I was stoked when I learned Renegade was expanding to Pacific Beach! The new digs are stunning and literally brand new! It is in the heart of Garnet ...you really couldn't ask for a better location! Bonus: they have PARKING. Pro Tips: - If you can, schedule your first class with Conor (Fitness Director) or Jamie (Owner). While every instructor is welcoming, they have built the program for years and provide a ton of personal insight. - Honest Opinion: I wouldn't recommend a "Met Con" for your first visit. Set yourself up for success and try one after you've learned the flow of class. They are by far the hardest workouts of the week. Full-body, Very fast paced and a lot of compound movements. They can be overwhelming for even the most seasoned members! - Fun fact: Apparently one of the instructors was on the reality show Love Island. Do with that information what you will. Haha!

Parking tends to be easy if you're patient with those leaving class before yours. The room feels very spacious and large. The con is that this location gets warm. Unlike some of the other ones that have air flowing, this one feels like it depends on fans, so an afternoon class in the summer will really get your heart rate going because of how hot it is. The format of the workout is three stations- cardio, racks and turf. If the class isn't full, you are able to double up. I like to start with cardio to get it out of the way. The coach will demo moves for all stations beforehand and then signal you when it's time to move to the next exercise. The class keeps a great pace and has you moving with very brief recovery breaks. Weekend classes are full body where the weekday ones have a focus area. Really love getting to come to these classes! They are tough but a solid calorie burn and sweat!

All of the coaches are nice, upbeat, and excited to get everyone moving. I also like how people of different strengths and athletic ability can all come to renegade - it allows you to lift heavier or lighter when you want to, they give you alternate exercises if you're injured or uncomfortable, and you can really just make it the workout that YOU want while still maintaining a structure. Also, who doesn't love good hype music blasting while you're working out:) Can't rave about renegade enough! Love it:)

The coaches are incredibly knowledgeable and friendly. The workouts are never boring and designed to build on each other so that you can meet whatever goal you set for yourself. I've worked out at other gyms that focus on making the workouts as intense as possible. While P360 doesn't lack intensity, it is much more focused on quality than quantity. Instead of doing 100 deadlifts, you will slow it down and work towards your personal max over the course of weeks. The coaches are also extremely available to the members and will work with you on injuries or when you need more instruction. I came in knowing nothing about Olympic lifts. Not only do I feel comfortable with all of them, I've never injured myself in the process.

After signing up for a promo, then 24 hours later had to make an emergency trip to another state to deal with hurricane damage on my house. I continued to recieve calls, emails, and nonstop texts.

I'm still out of state and had planned to come back next week to check the place out. Not anymore. This location is off my list. In an age where tech makes follow-up so easy, if your human staff can't show basic empathy or understanding when talking to a person on the other end, hard pass. Plenty of other options out there.

From my personal experience going over the weekend, this is an excellent place to go if you are not looking for traditional strength training. I will say that I was most disappointed with the sense of community here. People don't even seem happy to work out with each other. No one smiles and says hi. Are they not happy to be here? The timing can be kind of convenient, but the vibe was really offputting. Also, do y'all do the same workout Saturday and Sunday? Seems weird.

I knew I could not change my health without someone else making some of the health decisions for me. Through the recommendation of a friend, I now take the morning classes with Marissa 3 to 5 times a week. She keeps a variety of ever changing exercise exercises that keep me from being bored or having to make decisions. She tells us what to do, and we do it. And I'm seeing results. When life is too hectic and I can't get in, I notice that my body really misses it. It's 30 minutes long so super fast and easy. She is uplifting and inspiring. Thrive also sell supplements and protein powder and I appreciate again not having to make additional decisions so I get them there. I'm grateful to support this place and share in how it is helping me feel like me again. And I appreciate how Marissa checks in with us if we've missed a class. She wants us to be successful in our health.

While I am no longer a fan of these HIIT group class concepts with a dedicated WOD targeting select…read moremuscle groups, Revel can serve to switch things up or keeps things fun especially with the high-energy music played within the low-lit studio. Admittedly, it's a vibe. However, these concepts have you starting on the tread and switching off to the bench anywhere from 2-3 times. I feel like you do not get the ultimate benefit of either. The weight segment is also super ineffective, incorporating "compound" moves for basically everything with upwards of 5-7 different exercises for a max of MAYBE 2 sets. I get why people love this concept because it's hard to stay motivated with the same boring workout. Plus, these workouts will undoubtedly have you feeling sore, this feedback being what people thrive off of, because sore muscles=growth, right? WRONG, as you absolutely SHOULD NOT feel sore after every single workout. In terms of progress, you will quickly flat line with the lack of consistency due to all the randomness. However, people have different goals and exercise is better than none, I mean, if you can afford it!

Fit Societe has gone through a LOT of effort to be welcoming, and encourage their members to keep coming back for classes at any of their 3 locations. I have been going for several months now, and it has been great. They are very accommodating in their workouts based on your goals and/or injuries you might have. I have been to other similar gyms, but generally never made it past 3 months due to injuries. Here they are able to push you and help you achieve your goals, while at the same time keeping you healthy and wanting to come back. The instructors have all been great as well! Classes are for anyone regardless of their fitness and skill level. You have never set foot in a gym, they modify the workout to fit your needs. You are a college athlete, they can modify the workout to challenge you. Have a career that involves a lot of physical activity, they can modify the workout to fit your goals. If you cannot tell by now I highly recommend Fit Societe no matter your fitness needs or goals.

This is truly a special, special place that has changed my life for the better…read more I've been part of this fitness community for nearly 2 years now - I tried it on a Groupon whim, and it's become such an integral part of my wellness that I can't imagine ever going back to one of the soulless chain gyms. The amount of support that I receive from coaches and fellow athletes alike is something I wouldn't have believed existed, or known that I needed, until I experienced it firsthand. Instead of standing in line for equipment, we share and make sure everyone is taken care of. Instead of awkward silence in common areas, there is laughter and camaraderie. Instead of putting in my hour of exercise and clocking out for the day, there is constant motivation and support to better my health through nutrition challenges & resources. Everyone is cheered and celebrated equally - from the chubby girl in her first class doing the most scaled versions imaginable (that was me!) to the mutant superstar doing 48" box jumps and handstand push-ups like they're nothing (still not me, but maybe someday?). People in all walks of life and in all stages of fitness are welcomed into the fold. This community support is the foundation on which all of my accomplishments and improvements have been built. I can't say enough great things about the owners and coaches. This special place is clearly a product of their passion for helping people be their best selves. The class sizes are never too large for the coach to give everyone personal attention and instruction on the technical movements. Even with someone as uncoordinated as myself who needs things explained to them every time like it's my first time, they're patient and generous with their attention and help. With their help, I've done so many things I'd never imagined myself doing (HSPU and rope climbs? Ahhh!). In FLxR's walls, I have celebrated many many firsts and PRs. I feel stronger and more confident in my body's abilities than I've ever felt in my life. I've gone from dreading WOD every day to wanting, or rather NEEDING it (it's better than therapy). I'm no longer obese, no longer pre-diabetic, am completely anti-depressant free and thriving... I can't wait to see where I am in another year! I highly recommend FLxR to anyone looking to become a better, healthier version of you. Whether you're just starting down that road and looking for a judgment-free zone to start in, or you're already bad-ass and looking to improve your next open scores to the top 1%... or anywhere in between, I think there is no better place to do it. ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~~~~~~~~~ My original Review, from 2017: I drank the kool aid. I joined the cult. I fell in love with cross fit. Today is the last day of my one-month groupon and I am signing on to be a regular member. The first week was scary and intimidating. I came in overweight, NOT in shape, and terrified of all the scary looking equipment and giant weights. But the awesome coaches and friendly classmates helped me through it. No one ever made me feel silly for having to use the training bar with no weights on it while the gal next to me is lifting a bar bigger than she is. And i didn't receive an ounce less of encouragement. Every workout i survived felt like an accomplishment, boosting my self-esteem and desire to come back. The second week was hard and reluctant. I was tired and sore. There were days I took the 'just get yourself here' very literally and told myself I'd just show up and half-ass it - but of course the motivation in the air is so infectious, it's impossible to not give it your all once you're there. By the third week, it had become a staple in my day. There are days when I'm excited and can't wait for the class, and there are other days I come in tired/stressed/sore/depressed/hungover dragging myself in and whining through the warmup, but every time I leave at the end of the class i feel like a rockstar and have no pain, am full of energy, and with a big smile on my face. And the times when a trainer notices my progress and comments on it, it sends my mood soaring even higher. In the month I've been coming (5 days a week), I've lost 13lbs and one pants size. my body feels firmer. i can see muscle definition peeking out from under the receding fat. but forget all of that (yeah that's the reason i initially signed up, but now it's only a happy side effect) now i'm more excited that I'm finally off the training bar and onto the big girl bar and adding weights to it. That i'm able to finish the workouts. That i'm already down-scaling considerably less than I was a month ago. These accomplishments make me feel better about myself. I feel stronger and more powerful... I feel confident and motivated. I feel happier and healthier. I feel good. All of these factors together have contributed to me making more progress than I'd imagined was possible in only one month.
