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:)

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!

I dropped in to do a workout while spending a short vacation here in San Diego. I picked this box…read morenot only because they had a well designed website, a store to purchase merch, the staff was well qualified, but because I liked the logo. Also, they take Venmo. The gym was complete with all of the standard equipment, well designed and a sufficient amount of space. Coach Sam did a fantastic job leading the class. He started with a warmup that intentionally included stretching and movements that we would be using in the workout. In addition, we went through all of the scaling options for some of the movements which really helped me know where I was before starting the WOD. Sam was very attentive encouraging me, making sure I had all of the equipment I needed and that I understood the workout. Incidentally he does this for everyone and not just because I looked lost. The workout was challenging yet doable (looking at scaling options really helps) so I was able to get through without killing myself. The members of the class were very friendly, (it was a pretty full class for 6:00 AM) encouraging me throughout the WOD and congratulating me when it was over. This is an awesome box, I highly recommend trying it out, if I lived in the area, this would be my box of choice!!!

I def recommend Mighty Crossfit if your in cali yes i said cali! Not jus San Diego because they are definitely worth the drive!!!!! If your visiting and looking for a true Crossfit experience def recommend dropping into Mighty Crossfit!!!

They offer alternatives for any of the movements that are problematic or difficult. The workouts are as challenging as you want to make them. I like the warmups and the cooldowns. Clean bathrooms and just enough space where you don't feel crowded. They used to give cold towels after the workout and I'm sorry to see those have been eliminated. Please bring that nice touch back!! Shout out to trainers Macy, Miguel, Megan and Carly. You guys are great and make this place great!

I've been to many HIIT type gyms but not all satisfies me. Looking for a gym is like real estate…read moreshopping. Both have in common are price, location, amenities. For a gym, I also look for scehdule, cleaniless, routine and the people. Happy to say, I've been at F45 for 8 weeks now and became a member as they hit all of my must haves. It stands for Functional 45 where each class is only 45 minutes. It's almost robotic in a sense that everything is timed. From the demonstration to two minute warm up to the 45 minute work out. The timer is on each tv and each exercise in that station is displayed on specific tv's. There's also a heart monitor for purchase that tracks your activity. Must haves: 1) Schedule & Location: Rarely will you find a gym with 5am being the first class. Most gyms begin at 6am. 5am is perfect and the location is an added convenience for me to head straight to work. Safety is important because most circuit style gyms are in a random alley in a warehouse and their warm ups require a lap around the block. I would get paranoid being a female in the dark and I'm usually last. At F45, your warm ups are indoors. The gym has glass windows from floor to ceiling. It's brightly lit and shares a lot with the complex to only park in spaces marked "Retail Only". There isn't a lot so you'll need to park on the street or across the street in the Vons plaza. 2) Amenities & Cleanliness: There are two showers and it's first come, first serve by putting your name on the white board. No need to bring your own towels as they provide towels and at the end of each class, you'll get the nice cold aromatherapy scent towel as you cool down. I notice everything when it comes to cleanliness. For example, it's gross to see hair strand floating on the floor when you're breathing heavily in a plank or push-up position. Some gyms will require you to wipe down your equipment after each class which can be time consuming and waste in materials. I haven't seen it but I'm sure F45 has their own cleaning schedule because I have yet to witness anything floating on the floors or sticky equipment or yucky showers. So far the facility is clean. 3) Routine: I get bored easily which is why I tend to gym hop. Most gym dedicate a day to a certain body part which means, you'll get an imbalance of gender when women tends to come on leg days and men on upper days. Not at F45. All the workouts has been full body incorporated and you never know what you're in for. There are unique names for the daily workout like Mkatz, Abacus, Red Diamond, that has a description if it's cardio or weights. However, you won't know about the set up and transition which is one of the reasons why I keep coming back. I also love that all the equipment at each station are fully set up prior to each class so that it doesn't take up your time to set up. 4) The people: This includes the owner, coaches, and members. Everyone is legit super nice. You can tell when a gym gives off that selling and arrogant vibe but not here. They make you feel comfortable and super chilled. The coaches are always hands on to correct your form, or quick to lend a hand when they see you struggling, or assist in putting on the feet straps for the pull up bars. They even push you to your max potential but only because they know you're capable. I wouldn't sign up if I didn't like the people. 5) Price: You get what you pay for. I would say their price is comparable to all the other gyms out there. Each gym is independently own so there's always specials and Groupon deals. I would highly recommend a trial class to see for yourself!

Locomotion is the best group gym experience I've ever had. As "group fitness," you'll be shocked at…read morehow personalized it feels. From my very first sessions, the coaches learned my name, my strengths, and my goals and that personal attention has never faded. The atmosphere is incredibly welcoming. I've never once felt intimidated or like an outsider, which is rare in a group fitness setting. There are tons of regulars here (a testament to how good it is), but they embrace newcomers with open arms. Even partner workouts are stress-free because the coaches thoughtfully pair you up based on size and capability so no awkward moments or feeling left out. The programming is strength-focused, not just endless reps or HIIT burnout. Every workout challenges you to grow with proper form and progressive weight. Coaches don't just stand back or sit on their phones, they are constantly walking around, giving constructive feedback to keep you safe and improving without ever making you feel judged. The gym itself is solid: clean, open concept, brand-new equipment. The music keeps things fun too - each trainer has their own personality and favorite playlists - one morning might be punk/rock, the next hip-hop, and another high-energy house mix to fuel a Friday which makes classes fresh and motivating. I was skeptical about the 3-week programming format at first because I hate routine and predictability, but I actually love it and it wasn't even a learn to love it experience. Having back to back weeks of the same program is like having a personal trainer because you can track your weights and really see progress more easily. (And if you're not feeling a particular workout, it's easy to swap/avoid that day hehehe). Booking is simple, even same-day, and rarely you'll see a waitlists or stress, plus the cancellation policy is super reasonable. What really sets Locomotion apart is how much the trainers care. James, the owner, checks in regularly with personal texts to make sure I'm getting the most out of my membership. When I had back pain after a vacation, he offered a free 1:1 consult to help me safely get back into training. He even worked with me when I had an unexpected billing issue with my old gym - something he absolutely didn't have to do, but did because he genuinely cares about his members. If you've been looking for a gym that combines the energy / discipline of group fitness with the attention of personal training and a community that will make you feel right at home - Locomotion is it. I can't recommend it enough.

i love working out. always have…read more but finding the right place...that's different. it's about energy. chemistry. whether you belong there or you're just another membership fee. most gyms feel transactional. like you're paying for access to equipment and nothing more. not this one. locomotion athletics gets it. gets me. in ways i didn't even know i needed to be gotten. listen. i used to be the person who smiled politely when coaches would say things like "you'll be able to do this" or "trust the process" and i'd nod along thinking...sure, and maybe i'll sprout wings while i'm at it. i was wrong. they were right. about everything. i'm doing things now i never imagined: lifting weights that used to seem impossible. pulling myself up from bars i could barely hang from. the coaches here...they see something in you before you see it in yourself. and then they wait. patiently. while you catch up to their vision. am i still coming to terms with the fact that they were right all along? absolutely. it's humbling in the most beautiful way. the programming here isn't just smart. it's intuitive. like someone crawled inside your body and figured out exactly what it needed to wake up. every workout feels purposeful. intentional. like a conversation between you and your potential. and the community... the community! this isn't some sterile fitness factory. this is a place where people show up as themselves. where celebrations happen for first pull-ups, personal records, and simply showing up on days when showing up feels impossible. the coaches don't just correct your form. they see you. really SEE you. they know when to push and when to hold space. when to celebrate and when to simply nod with quiet understanding. i'm stronger than i've ever been in my life. EVER. which feels poetic since i have a book coming out that's probably going to ruffle some feathers. (nothing wrong with a little self-promotion, right? "i wish i was worse" coming nov 9!) there's something deeply satisfying about knowing that when the inevitable fights come from what i've written about people, i'll be ready. the strength i've built here isn't just physical. it's the kind that holds you steady when the world decides to have opinions about your truth. this place doesn't just build bodies. it builds the kind of person who can handle whatever comes next.

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!

The owner, Coach Brian, is also very friendly, professional, and cares about members and drop-ins alike. This gym has all the equipment you would expect from a box, except it has only one Assault Bike (which I consider a positive)! The programming is systematic and productive for strength and conditioning. Finally, the gym is taking measures to protect everyone from COVID.

I first came across Renegade on ClassPass and was so impressed with the experience that I decided…read moreto become a member. This gym offers a wide variety of bootcamp like classes with fantastic energy and some truly talented coaches. While there are a few who are overly egotistical and could use a come back to earth reality check and a touch more humility, the majority of the coaching staff is excellent. Two standouts are Gabrielle Y. and Christian Q., who make working out an absolute pleasure. Gabrielle's welcoming demeanor and contagious positivity create a great atmosphere, and Christian's coaching style is equally motivating and supportive. The classes themselves are high-energy, challenging, and adaptable to different fitness levels. What I love most is that each coach brings their unique style and energy to the table. Once you find the coach who resonate with you, it's easy to stick with them and stay consistent. The variety keeps things interesting, and you'll never get bored while working toward your fitness goals. One of the challenges, however, is parking. Since Lazy Acres put up signs claiming what feels like half the lot, finding a spot can be a headache. I've learned not to arrive too early because spots typically free up only once the previous class ends. While it can be frustrating to circle the lot, a little patience and timing go a long way. It's something to keep in mind when planning your visits. The gym itself could benefit from more regular cleaning and maintenance. A deep cleaning is definitely overdue, as dust, hair, and even cobwebs can be seen in corners. Some benches are rusty and could use replacing. While these issues don't take away from the quality of the workouts, they do detract from the overall experience. Many other gyms in the area have weekly professional cleaning services, which could be a great addition here to help maintain a fresher, more polished environment. Despite these minor drawbacks, Renegade remains a fantastic place to work out. The membership is reasonably priced, although ClassPass is still more affordable and offers lower price penalties for late cancellations. Overall, the quality of the classes and the dedication of standout coaches like Gabrielle and Christian make this gym worth checking out. If you're looking for a challenging yet welcoming environment to achieve your fitness goals, Renegade is a solid choice--just plan ahead for parking and connect with the coaches whose energy aligns with yours!
