I'm visiting from Arizona and was looking for a good CrossFit gym to visit and get a couple workouts during my visit to Oceanside. I love to drop into different CrossFit box's around the world when I travel and I have to say I hit the jackpot. As soon as I walked in I was impressed. It's huge with really nice equipment. It has incredibly cool vibes. It's a military town and people come in and out. I bring this up because I noticed shoes hanging from the rafters like you see sneakers hanging on electrical wires in some neighborhoods. They explained to me it was people who were members that for whatever reason had to leave the gym. I love cool original ideas like that and I love the my brothers and sisters in the military. The owner Jason was super responsive. I left a message asking about classes and he called me back in ten minutes. Made everything super easy. I loved my first workout so much I bought a week pass so I could come back as much as I wanted. If you want to visit multiple days it's a great value. I have now met a couple of the coaches and members and they all have been very nice and welcoming. I could say so much more great things about this gym but you should just come in and experience it for yourself. I highly recommend this gym for beginners and experienced CrossFiters alike. You won't regret it. Thanks Jason. I won't forget this experience. read more

I belong to a phenomenal gym in La Costa but need something closer to home so I dropped in to Oceanside CrossFit tonight. Ulysses barely greeted me and just told me to look inside. It's basically a warehouse. I stood there looking around for about two minutes. Nobody approached me or asked me any questions. Not even a simple 'can I help you' or 'what are your goals' or 'do you currently belong to a gym'? Nada. I felt invisible. So that was pretty much all I needed. Uh, ya no thanks. The search continues. read more

I have tried a couple gyms around north county and I can say that this one has been the most open and welcoming place out of them all! Outstanding and friendly coaches! They don't just treat you like some newbie or treat you like just another number, they treat everyone like FAMILY. Even when I came in for a trial, the coaches were all still very helpful. All of the coaches are very helpful and personal when it comes to your form and to your training to become a better athlete. And each coach has helped me one on one with my Olympic lifting form and I have increased my PR's significantly since I had come to this gym. I had one on once coaching from Coach Sigi, Coach Malik, and Coach Jason. Great dudes! Very knowledgeable also in diet and nutrition as well. Out of all of the gyms around north county, I can say that the price is great for the amount of coaching you receive. I highly recommend this gym to anyone who is trying to get into the best shape of their life and who is looking for an outstanding level of camaraderie and friendship. read more

I am a Crunch Fitness Member, and I have been to the Carlsbad, Vista, and Oceanside gyms. The Oceanside gym is bar far my favorite. The size of the gym and the equipment are very nice; plus the tanning salon and the hydro massages are AMAZING! What really sold me though was the staff. I came in for the first time and was greeted by Mike and Audri. They were super fun and friendly, and they made me feel motivated to workout. If you're looking for a gym to sign up with GO TO THIS GYM!!! read more

I started at OCF the end of October 2011. I remember reading on one of the white boards "if you let it, this place will change you"... I was there for a reason. I was on a mission. I wanted to change my life for good. I had pretty much struggled with my weight my entire life. I was never an athlete. Never. In 2009, at a young 22 years old, I had been diagnosed borderline diabetes and maxed out just shy of 300lbs. I knew then and there at that moment I needed to do something. I began seeing a personal trainer out of his home. Which was cool and cheap, a great start since I was very new to working out and lifting weights. I also dramatically had to change my diet. Time passed, lost a little weight. My trainer moved And then I joined a small gym since I was so anti-gym. (I Hated 24hour and la fitness. I felt so intimidated.) I actually liked the gym I was going to. They had tons of classes and eventually became a 24 hr gym. I was approached about my "free" personal training session about 4 months after joining. At this time in my life, I was very serious about joining the navy. But I need to lose about 40ish lbs. So I actually did want to start seeing a personal tainer again. I told her my goal and what I needed to do as far as weight and physical test go and she was very much on board. I saw her twice a week and very time we started our session, I'd do a sit up test and push up test. Meanwhile, I was still struggling to get on the weight the navy wanted me to weigh for my height. I was practically starving myself and got down to 183, which I needed to be at 178. I was so close, but it got to the point where I wasn't even living and enjoying life. My trainer also started slacking. Towards the end, I'd show up and she'd say "so, what do you want to do today?" needless to say, I stopped seeking her. BUT the one good thing that came from that trainer, is she is the one who introduced me to crossfit. Well, kind of. She asked if I had ever heard of it and told me I'd really like it. I'm still not sure if she was trying to get rid of me or not but boy was she right. After I stopped seeing her in the spring of 2011, I did my first half marathon and then just stopped caring as much. I had put on approximately 40lb in less then a year. I got a puppy and suddenly had no time for the gym. I also lived at home again where my family didn't really care about what they ate and we weren't on the same page with health/nutrition/physical fitness. I decided to make a little bit of a move in October of 2011 to oceanside! Best decision of. My. Life. More and more people had been talking about crossfit and I Figured I don't have a gym membership anymore. Might as well give it a try. When I googled where the closest one was, Oceanside Crossfit came up 2 miles away. How could I not give it a go. From day one, I was hooked. And it wasn't long before I became obsessed. I stared out at 3 days a week and I found myself thinking how I could manipulate my work schedule to fit in more days at the box. Let's just say I worked it out. Not only do you get a killer workout every single time, but I've also made some really great friends along the way. Everyone genuinely cares about your well being and your progress and wants nothing but the best for you. So with the encouragement form all the wonderful trainers and an easy switch to paleo, I'm back down to where I want to be. I'm not at my "thinnest" but my jeans and clothes fit better then they ever did before. Crossfit has definitely changed my life forever and I couldn't imagine my life without it. I DRANK THE KOOL-AID! :) read more

Oceanside crossfit is awesome! We truly enjoyed working out hard with these guys, unlike many other crossfit gyms they make sure that people know how to lift correctly to avoid injuries. Many crossfit gyms only emphasize speed after a quick walk through of the workout, and many people get hurt. For this reason I think Oceanside crossfit is great for beginners and veterans alike. Super friendly and welcoming staff too! read more

I am very impressed with this gym. I live in Los Angeles and my regular gym is Crossfit Synapse. But I'm in Oceanside 2-3 days a week, so I figured I should find a gym to workout at. I have only worked out with OCF twice but I loved it and will definitely be back. The athletes and coaches were all extremely nice and welcoming. I love the atmosphere this gym possesses. It's also one of the largest Crossfit gyms I've been to. I decided to purchase a 2 month pass through groupon and will most likely continue to drop in once or twice a week after the 2 month pass expires. The coaches even sent me a handwritten welcome postcard for joining, how cool is that? I definitely recommend this Crossfit gym to anyone in Northern San Diego County! read more

It is always difficult moving and having to start all over with everything and CrossFit is no exception. When I moved to SoCal I was really worried I wouldn't be able to find a gym that would meet both my CrossFit "fitness" needs and my CrossFit "community" needs. Oceanside CrossFit has done both of those better than I could ever ask. I am pushed every day in the gym and have met goals that I never thought I would meet. And I have made some amazing friends to help cheer me on along the way. You will not be disappointed when you join Oceanside CrossFit. read more

Dropped in for a WOD while I was on vacation in the area. Great gym. Great people. I will definitely drop in again next time i am in town

Love this gym for its dedicated coaches that are always there to help and the positive and encouraging atmosphere they promote. They have a military and first responders discount and they are not as expensive and other crossfit gyms in the area....It takes a while to get used to the workout if you are not accustomed to it but if your not afraid to get dirty and work hard then you can't go wrong... read more

Every time I drop in from out of town I always am made to feel welcome. I'm a Crossfit Gym Owner myself, and did my Level one with 3 of their instructors several years ago. I highly recommend their Friday evening competitors class for those interested in competing or taking things to the next level. I first came out to support their annual "memorial wod for Staff Sgt. "Schmalls". Always made this my local drop in box of choice when I come in to town to visit friends/family. read more

I started going to OCF in January '11-5 weeks post partum. Not only has my outward appearance changed, but so has my self confidence. Everyone is very encouraging, helpful & understanding of limitations. There is also a kids room for little ones to play while you're working out. read more

Oceanside Crossfit - Interval Training Gyms Near Me - Oceanside, California

See all

Imagine walking into a gym where everyone knows your name, smiles and says, "Hey, what's up." Then while you are working out they encourage you to push to your fullest potential, even finish the WOD with you or help you could down your last few reps. After the workout everyone hangs out, chats about whatever, makes plans to get together or passes on a healthy new receipt or tells a joke. It's not a gym really, it's more like an extended family. The Oceanside Crossfit family consists of elite athletes, 20 & 30 something mom's, Cougars, teens, Grandma's, Marines, Firefighters and more. read more

Great people and atmosphere. Felt just like the box back home!

My first experience with CrossFit and it won my heart. The community is great and every member is like family. So much more than working out together, it is fighting your best fight to live your best life. From couch potato to elite athlete...go meet Laura and she will get you moving to new heights! Thank you OCF! read more

I have osteoarthritis in both knees and I couldn't walk up and down any stairs without grimacing and holding onto the railing with both hands for support and assistance. I was popping NSAIDs like candy and the pain would often wake me up in the middle of the night. In July 2012 I was desperate when I joined Oceanside Crossfit. I fell on my bum the first day attempting to do a simple air squat. No one ever raised an eyebrow or felt sorry for me. The coaches are very knowledgeable, professional and patient. The community is wonderful and supportive. It's the only gym I have ever stuck with and attended consistently. I NEVER hold onto railings any more, I can hike up and down just about anything and I'm pain free because my muscles support my skeleton. I'm extremely grateful to all of the coaches and the community at OCF. read more
