The coaches are great and know everyone by name, members are friendly, and every workout kicks my butt and leaves me happy I came. It's really a judgement free and fun workout where you get out what you put in. I have been looking for something that integrates circuits and strength for a long time, and they just added a ton of new class types to the schedule so you can do the mix that is right for you. I also like that they offer two AM and two PM classes weekdays to fit any schedule, as well as Saturday AM classes and an occasional freebie Sunday yoga.

I've been attending C4Fit for three months, many friends recommended this gym to me (some have been…read moreattending for months and some for many years). I started at the kickoff of a 40 day wellness challenge where 30 participants collectively lost 264 pounds and gained strength along with knowledge about healthy eating and fitness. From day one, I felt a warm welcome from the trainers and the members--it's an incredible community that genuinely supports one another. Most of my classes are with Nicole whose energy and dedication to her members keep me coming back every morning. If you're seeking a high-energy, supportive community to guide you on your wellness journey, C4Fit is the place to be!

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:)

This review is long overdue, but so well deserved. EWB was an amazing experience. Over the year or…read moreso that I was there, I saw amazing improvements to my physique, posture, strength, and overall health. It was the best shape I'd been in since high school. For starters, the gym itself is small but well-equipped. It doesn't have the bloated feeling of big gyms, yet you can get the same quality of exercise in it that you might there. But what really makes EWB are the trainers. My earlier experience there was with a friend and trainer of mine named Diana, who was super cool and knowledgeable and really helps you enjoy working out. When I went there a couple of years later, I connected with a guy named Jonathan. Super knowledgeable both as a trainer and in anatomy and physiology. He was able to keep my technique safe and appropriate and give explanations for why we did things at all times. I was enjoying my experience so much that I started going up to 4 or 5x a week. That's when I had the pleasure of working with Sara and Jenn. Sara was able to keep working out simple and effective, and she always offered great nutritional advice to make sure that I got the biggest return on my investments. Jenn, meanwhile, gave me much needed help with mobility and provided bodywork to ensure that my body was a well-oiled machine while it endured weekly rigor from both training and work (which was also physical for me). When someone didn't have time to see me, the owner, Nicole, would work with me. She challenges you in a way that makes you feel capable, and I owed a lot of growth in confidence to her during my time there. I would highly recommend this establishment and its personnel to anyone serious about making healthy improvements in their life. I still recommend them to friends and colleagues of mine regularly.

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.

San Diego Core Fitness is awesome. Just do it. Do it now. Don't wait. You only live once…read more My story two years ago I was in a low point of my life and had increased in weight to 300+lbs (I am 5'8"). I decided to take control of this issue and embarked on a exercise / diet odyssey. I started doing San Diego Core Fitness bootcamps when I was 275lbs. Two years later, I am now 200lbs. I am fitter, stronger, have more endurance than I have ever had in life, period. The bootcamps at San Diego Core Fitness have been a core part of this transformation. Initially, I was doing 2 to 3 bootcamps per week. These days I'm operating a tempo of 10-15 bootcamp classes per week as well as 5 yoga classes per week. If you push yourself, ignore that little voice in your head, and show up on a regular basis, you will have results. San Diego Core Fitness is run by Justin and Rachel. They do an amazing job of creating an assortment of different and challenging classes. The classes are for everybody. It doesn't matter if you are grossly out of shape or a seasoned athlete, these bootcamp classes will not cease to challenge you. Most of the classes are cardio HIIT based classes and there are a number strength oriented classes as well. Currently, they operate out of three locations: Morley Field, East Mission Bay, and Aero Dr. Monday through Friday they run two bootcamps at Morley Field in the morning and two bootcamps at East Mission Bay in their afternoon. There are some afternoon classes at their indoor location at Aero Dr. There is one Saturday morning bootcamp and no bootcamps on Sunday. In addition to this, they run quarterly challlenges which come with some pretty nice prizes (e.g. Afternoon on a sport boat). Justin and Rachel will occasionally host social events as well. They are good / friendly people with a comprehensive knowledge about fitness and nutrition. All this at the lowest price currently available. You really can't lose.
