This is for anyone who's ever felt intimidated by lifting weights -- especially postpartum mamas or…read moremoms-to-be. I'd been eyeing this gym since March but was too shy and honestly a little nervous to pull the trigger. I'm so glad I finally did. When I say I've tried everything, I mean it: Weight Watchers, Herbalife, body wraps from "It Works," personal trainers (multiple times), 24 Hour Fitness, Gold's, Chuze, Orangetheory... you name it. I was also kickboxing 2-3 hours a day and dancing regularly -- but still wasn't gaining the strength or seeing the results I wanted. For years, people told me I needed to lift heavy weights. But even with gym memberships and trainers, I felt overwhelmed and lost. That changed when I finally booked a meeting with one of the owners, Richard. And let me tell you -- I felt seen. He listened to my goals, understood why my current routine wasn't working (kickboxing, OTF, and Gold's included), and laid out a clear plan tailored to me. My goals: * Build strength * Lift heavy * Prep for two showcases this year * Start training for competition Richard showed me how I was overtraining (too much cardio, not enough rest) and helped me refocus my time and energy. Now I'm working out less, with more intention -- and finally seeing results. So I signed up for the unlimited membership. And here we are -- nearly two months in, and I'm seeing progress I hadn't seen in years. Is it out of my comfort zone? Absolutely. But the community and instructors have made all the difference. The facility is gorgeous, clean, and right up my alley aesthetically. Everyone is so welcoming and friendly Here's a quick shout-out to the amazing instructors I've worked with so far: Art - He will challenge you. He will push you. No BS -- he knows what he's doing. He pays close attention to form and demands the best from you because he wants you to get that pump! His attention to detail and deep knowledge really shine. Richard - Super motivating with a strong presence. He gives great feedback on form and always knows how to push you. Don't be surprised if he adds weight or resistance when you least expect it -- he's not letting you coast. Dulce - I absolutely adore her classes. Her voice, teaching style, and overall vibe are perfect for someone like me -- shy and introverted. She's patient, checks in often, and really makes sure things click if you're struggling. Joseph - Humble, inspirational, and so patient -- even while sneakily adding more weight to push your limits. I really appreciate his calm energy and the way he adapts to different learning styles. Kaitlyn - Mighty and feisty! She's kind before class, but once it starts -- no mercy. She will absolutely make you work, and then some. Mark - Super encouraging and positive. He makes it easy to ask questions -- especially helpful for a newbie like me. He creates a safe space to learn and grow. If you're on the fence about trying this place -- let me just say, if I can do it, so can you. It's worth every drop of sweat. The intimidation fades fast once you meet the staff and community. Truly one of the best decisions I've made for myself.

Love love love!!!…read more Best gym around. Where else can you get a full workout in 45mins ? No where but here! Staff is AMAZING. Super friendly and helpful. Trainers are very knowledgeable and patient in explaining workouts. They are always willing to modify anything for you. Been here for over 5yrs and I will never go back to a regular gym. Love the option of having the boot camp (The lab) and open gym (Iron lab). Also take advantage of the R&R side. Love the sauna and compression boots. Great way to recover.

The coach was super sweet and accommodating, making sure everyone got the most out of the session. The space faces the street, and the coach mentioned the area can have some feisty homeless people, so it's best to be cautious if coming at night. That said, we had no issues and the session was a lot of fun. Overall, it's a solid place if you're looking to get into Hyrox training in a supportive environment!

I fought her and the idea thinking that only the best of the best worked out at Crossfits. Well, I checked it out and was pleasantly surprised that all work outs can be scaled down to my comfort. The coaches pour into you and take their time making sure you are safe but challenged. It was such a phenomenal feeling to get my first snatch and I completed the Murph back in 2016. I cried! Everyone was cheering me on as I finished running! And I NEVER EVER RAN BEFORE! I have been working out here at CFS since 2015 and absolutely love the people and owner. There is a sense of comrade and encouragement to leave no one behind. Kid and pet friendly too! I had a baby in 2017 and CFS has helped me so much to reach my goals. I just feel so stinking strong and good. This is a great place to get strong and smash personal goals! The before and after photo is 4 months apart. With clean eating and lifting weights- I have lost nearly 40lbs! No competition in the room. You are competing with yourself.

Where Rep Max Performance truly shines es is with the coaches: they are super attentive and friendly. For a newcomer like me, they are really good at breaking down concepts.

Whether you're brand new to weightlifting or a veteran, I can't recommend Rep Max Performance enough!

If you work outside like me you have to deal with heat but at least you have fresh air. I have come…read moreto this gym for years and they don't like to turn on the AC. It is set to 81°.. the worst part is the stagnant air. There is a fan on each side of this gym, 2 fans. They say we're suppose to sweat when we work out but why should I have to breathe warm stagnant air while I'm working out. There is no air movement. If you like to breathe hot stagnant air when you work out, join this gym, otherwise I would go somewhere else. Edit: Since my review I have been verbally assaulted by the owner AND the training director John Tagge. I believe this to be unprofessional and I have since quit the gym. I would have left a long time ago but I prepaid until December 2026.. The owner was upset about the honest review and basically said he's not going to be changing much because the electric bill is $4000.. he has put in 2 fans since my review. The training director, (John Tagge) has been harassing me Everytime he sees me at the gym to remove the review. I have seen him get into verbal screaming arguments with more than just myself. He likes to joke around with people but people cannot do the same , he takes it "personal" . If you go there he's the old bald guy. Watch out . Now that I'm gone , I'm going to give a full honest review of the gym. If you look at any of my other reviews they're honest personally experiences I've had and this will be no different . First off I want to say that there are good things about the gym. PROS: It is never busy. If you want to go in and get your workout done?? You won't have to wait like the bigger gyms. They have a woman named Jeannie. If it weren't for her the gym would have probably closed down by now. She is in charge of wellness. She had the owners dedicate a few rooms to wellness. Red Light bed Infrared sauna PMf mat and compression pants There is also another room but I'm not sure what they do in there. Jeannie has coordinated monthly events and she has most recently added a big room for Pilates. Every room she is involved in is clean. I want to think Jeannie keeps it sanitized herself , and they just looks great.( pictures to follow) There are some awesome trainers as well: Felipe who was my personal trainer is the best trainer I have ever worked with . He pays attention to your needs and he he can really work around injuries . He's great . Pascual is another trainer and although I don't have any personal training experience I do see that he has regular clients come in and they seem to be happy.. Rosemary is awesome. She also has her set of repeat clients for years. I believe she has trained the new owners wife for years before they acquired the gym. I speak to her clients regularly and they all seem to be extremely happy . CONS: The gym is dirty , as far as I have been there I have known it to be sanitized once.. They do have a member that comes in every morning and takes the trash out, wipes the restrooms down and vacuums the gym. I never see ANYONE sanitize the gym other than members who wipe down the machines and not everybody does that. The equipment is old . I looked up some of it and it's all roughly 14yrs old. Any new equipment is no name Chinese brand and if you touch it once the controls fall out and it's just cheap. Most all of the pull down ropes are frayed or falling apart, the handles are dirty and they keep rewrapping the pull bars instead of buying anything new. The roof leaks . It has been leaking since before the new owner acquired it. When it rains there is literally puddles and buckets all over the gym. I understand they don't own the building but with roof leaks, it gets insulation wet in areas that you cannot see. With the air conditioning set to 81° it gets very humid, which is a breeding ground for mildew , black mold and whatever else we can't see , and we breathe it. There are 3 different types of free weights and if you're anything like me I'm super OCD. Finding the same weights while stacking can be frustrating . If you're still reading this review it means you're concerned and you care where you decide to workout and breathe fresh air. The gym is $75 a month and it includes nothing but what I've mentioned. All of the wellness rooms ,(ie. sauna, red light, PMf mat, compression ) ARE NOT INCLUDED. I hope this helps sway your decision one way or another

I mentioned that Ive been weight lifting for a couple years and I predominately do it to better myself as a triathlete and distance runner but genuinely enjoy lifting heavy. I was told they don't have treadmills - I didn't inquire about treadmills as I don't enjoy running on treadmills. I also mentioned I enjoy kettlebell complexes - they said they only have a few kettlebell weights which was fine with me as I enjoy KBs as a warm up or as a something to do between sets. I was made to feel inadequate by the gym employee I was talking to because I was a female and I wasn't a power lifter. I was genuinely hoping to build a new community here in Orange County as I was moving back to orange after finishing my grad program and finding an amazing strength and weight lifting community in Berkley. I do not recommend this gym if you identify as female because they will look down upon you.
