    I joined North Park Fitness about a year ago after having a very bad experience at a different gym…read morein a different part of town. I took myself on a little gym tour, trying to find a good replacement and though all the options were so much better than my former gym, North Park Fitness really stood out to me! The person working there when I came in for a little tour was very kind, I never felt pressured to join, he answered all my questions, and then has continued to recognize me ever since. It just felt very personable! He also took the time to make sure the gym would meet my needs and even offered to ask him any time if I ever needed help using a machine I was unfamiliar with. I love how clean everything is, and I notice how on top of it they are at fixing anything broken. In the year I've gone here, my favorite machine has had a rip in the seat twice and both times it was fixed within a few days of me noticing it. I appreciate that they fix things even when it doesn't affect the mechanics of the machine! They also have a huge variety of equipment, more options than when I was at my former gym that was much bigger. The only complaints I have, in my opinion, are not easy to change with a small, local gym in North Park. North Park Fitness can't change the parking options, that's a North Park problem. It is a bit pricey, but again, that's a North Park problem. I also researched and found a couple other small gyms near the area that were much more expensive, so I appreciate not having to pay hundreds of dollars each month at North Park Fitness!

    My boyfriend has been a member here for years. I usually drop in when I'm visiting him in SD. The…read moregym is fine: it's clean and has all the basics. The split between the upstairs and downstairs areas can be inconvenient depending on the workout but it's mostly fine. I've been dropping in here for almost a year, and the front desk staff has always been friendly and helpful with me. My interaction with the owner today, however, left me feeling really put off. First, he gave me a hard time about the drop-in rate and was telling me about some personal trainers trying to sneak clients (I wasn't sure if he was suggesting I was trying to do that but it made me feel uncomfortable). Later, he asked me to not drop my bb on the lifting platform while deadlifting because it's too loud (I've always done that, that's what the lifting platform is for...). I couldn't help but to feel like I was being patronized because I am a woman. I've trained at many gyms over the years. This was the first time I've felt treated with so little regard as a client. I've liked this gym before but I won't be coming back again.

    Found Hawk Fitness through a quick Google search. I like the fact that they were relatively close…read moreto me. I called to get more information on their program and tell them what I was looking to work on. Unfortunately the owner was on vacation and distracted when he took my call. We still managed to communicate. I came in for information session and decided to join later. I bought the 10 class package which included nutrition guidance. Alright here it goes: The good: Small intimate gym. Their good at what they do. Good personal trainer, shout out to Kamila! I learned a lot about my body, strength, muscles, lack of strength in 10 sessions. I now have enough information to workout properly on my own. I had a couple injuries and they managed to work around them- again very competent staff. The price per session is on the lower end for the area. The bad: They don't have easy/modern scheduling system. One day I showed up and had no trainer! there had been some miscommunication over coverage which goes back to my previous (point). It can get crowded with even just four people and loud depending on the day. Never received nutrition guidance, I reached out a few times and felt like I was chasing the owner. They don't wipe machines/mats before use. In the end you can do a lot with a little bit, but it shouldn't be at the inconvenience of clients. $85 per session is not a little bit of money. They definitely need some updates on how they operate and schedule clients sessions.

    I worked with Richard at Hawk Fitness for 9 months, and it was an absolute game-changer for me…read more When we started, I could barely lift 10-pound dumbbells for bicep curls -- and by the end, I was curling 30! I went from doing zero push-ups to knocking out 40 classic push-ups in a session. My leg strength also shot up, which really showed in my Peloton rides at home and Spark Cycle classes. Aesthetically, I finally saw my lower back slim down, and overall, I just felt stronger in every way. From day one, Richard was super personable and easy to talk to. He made me feel completely comfortable trying new exercises (which can be intimidating), and he had a knack for knowing when to push me to the next level or when to dial it back for safety -- all without ever making me feel like I was failing. I've never worked harder in the gym, yet I've also never had more fun doing it. This gym -- and this level of personal service -- is an absolute gem. Sadly, I had to move out of state, and in searching for a private gym, NOTHING has come close to what Hawk Fitness offers, rates included. If you want results and a trainer who will cheer you on every step of the way, you can't go wrong with Richard at Hawk Fitness

    Neely is the trainer you're looking for!…read more As a 40-something ex-athlete with multiple old injuries, the arthritis in my knees was stopping me from being able to do the things I wanted to do, like play pickleball or practice yoga. I had originally found Neely over covid when she was leading virtual strength classes, and I reached out to her after the world opened up again to see if she could help me with my arthritis pain. Fast forward almost three years later: Neely has helped me build up my strength to the point where I can do things without thinking about them or worrying if something will aggravate my knees. Over the last three years I have injured myself again multiple times (a meniscus tear last year and a torn calf earlier this year), and each time Neely helped me recover faster and get back to building strength. I haven't had good experiences with physical therapists and I was worried about trying a personal trainer, but I'm so happy I did! Neely works with you to meet you where you are today and build a program that progressively gets you to where you want to be. I love that she supports me and adapts my workouts for how I'm feeling and what's going on in my life outside of the studio. If you're looking for a trainer who has experience with injuries and rehab, Neely is your girl!

    I am so grateful I found SKfit! A little over a year ago I was dangerously stressed and overworked…read more I needed to make a positive decision for myself and start regaining control of my life. I was shopping around for a personal trainer and found SKfit which was near my house and had good yelp reviews. I emailed them for more info and Sly got back to me right away. I planned to do only a few sessions to build some muscle and learn how to use gym equipment (I'd previously only done pilates and yoga and had never been to a traditional gym). But 14 months later I'm still exercising here weekly because this place has great energy and my trainer Jenna is awesome! Jenna's super fun, knowledgeable, and all-around wonderful. She personalizes my sessions based on my goals (destress, feel stronger). She makes sure not to overwork people so that they don't learn to associate exercise with pain and unhappiness. She takes care to work the muscle groups evenly. She knows exactly what to say to help me correct my form. She has a lot of body knowledge (there's probably a better term for that) and can answer all my questions about muscles/joints and how different foods are broken down in the body and provide energy. She also makes it fun to work out!! I never dread my sessions because she always works with my mood/energy level. If I would've started working with a serious muscle-obsessed trainer I probably would've been turned off from weight training in a gym environment. But Jenna bumps music and sings and laughs. She's laid back, nonjudgmental, and just wants people to be happy. She's a great role model and I've learned a lot from her. I still see exercise mostly as a chore but I'm learning to have more fun with it. What's probably most important is that I'm much stronger now and don't get as exhausted with daily life as I used to. Working out at SKfit with Jenna was one of the best decisions I've made!! I really appreciate the influence it's had on my life :)

    I have been working with Jenna at SKfit for a few months now and have to say that she is fantastic!…read more She's naturally upbeat, incredible friendly, funny, motivating, genuine, knowledgeable and great at challenging you just enough. I also have some issues related to my joints and she always checks in to make sure I'm doing ok. I often see the owner when I'm there and he is a super nice guy as well. I worked with him at the beginning to find the right trainer for me, and he was very service oriented, as is everyone I have come across there. I am not a gym person, but truly enjoy my weekly workouts with Jenna at Skfit. Great place that I can wholeheartedly recommend.

    Tamara continues to amaze me…read more As I get older and my body needs more attention, she is always there to support me with continued education and modification for my needs. Since Yelp decided to not show my 2015 review, I am adding it here: I've been meaning to write a review of this fantastic local business since 2012. Owner and Trainer, Tamara Fanning, is worth her weight in gold! Down to earth and caring, Tamara works with you on YOUR fitness goals--not hers--YOURS. I love going to my weekly individual sessions, as it helps be stay focused on more than just my fitness. I have learned a lot about my body. It helps me stay focused on life-balance, nutrition, and self-care--and I really need to stay focused on all of the that. Receiving personal fitness training with Tamara has been better than some physical therapy I've had (and I've had a lot over the years). At a minimum, personal training is really a necessary post therapy activity. Tamara works with your whole body and helps you identify imbalances and muscles that may have been overcompensating for injuries. I love my improved strength, posture and body awareness. Plus, being a dog-lover, getting to hangout with Tamara's well-behaved pup and sidekick, Bear Heart, is a big "pet-therapy" bonus for me! If you have been thinking about signing up for one her classes, please do! The people there are fun and friendly. It is a non-competitive environment, with many of her clients over 50. No 20 or 30-somethings to worry about. Thursday night, Ladies Night, can be a good place to start. The other mixed-gender classes have some great guys too. Everyone is just focused on their fitness goals--again no competition! Don't fret about your workout clothes/style either--just throw on your t-shirt and bottoms--whatever you feel comfortable in and go! (But PLEASE leave the perfume and cologne at home. PU) I see personal training as an investment in my health and wellness now and for the future, and I would rather factor this into my monthly budget than a fancy car or expensive clothes. Being able to work out with Tamara and Bear Heart is a big priority for me!

    I have always wanted to try pilates. When I moved to San Diego, I used to work out in a gym with…read morethe traditional weights and machines. I hated it though. Then a friend of mine, told me, oh, my uncle teaches pilates and has a studio in Hillcrest, you should call him. I made the call to "Uncle Bruno" and from then on was hooked. Bruno has a way of understanding me like no one. He is the uncle I always wanted. He knows what I need to work on and will tell me whether I want to or not. And that is just my mental state. With my body, he works me out, stretches me, gets me to try new things and calms the noise in my head. Since doing pilates, not only did I lose weight, tone up, and get better posture, but I also grew taller at the ripe age of 22. (I'm now 30.) When I started at the Body Alchemist, I was 5 feet and 1/2 an inch. I am now proud to say that I stand at 5 and 3/4 an inch. Yes I know that part of the pilates experience is the fact that it lengthens you out by making your posture and spine stand stronger, which in fact makes you stand at your full potential but in layman's terms and to everyone else I just plain grew taller!!! Now if I could only hit 5"1".............................. Seriously though, everyone that works at the studio, whether it's Bruno, Paula, Portia or Gayner is incredible. They all not only work out your mind, but provide a sort of mini-condensed therapy session. I can honestly say that if I didn't have the constant reinforcement and support of Bruno and the gang (and Elaine when she worked there) I may not have survived my first few years in San Diego. They always made my body feel better with the workout and my mind feel more calm and at peace. Oh, and on a technical side, they are cheaper than any studio I have ever called in San Diego. And a semi private is 2 people!! When I was going it was $30 a semi private lesson...............A semi private anywhere else starts at $50 at LEAST!!!

I began looking for a…read moretrainer for the first time after experiencing an injury and surgery that took me out of the gym for several months. Losing a big portion of my fitness was very mentally challenging, so I started off training with her to get back into a routine. Prior to that, I had been "working out" for many years, and following a more structured program for 1-2 years. I would say I am moderately educated about training and nutrition, but Cory still provides a HUGE value and expertise that will push your training to the next level. Coming from a science background, I especially appreciate that Cory is very evidence driven in everything she recommends, from taking note on progress to diet recommendations. I never feel like I am wasting my time. She really helps you narrow down what tweaks you can make to achieve your goals in a very realistic, sustainable way. Personally, my goals were improving overall fitness along with some aesthetic progression. Cory has done a great job guiding me to achieve this. There were some workouts I had been doing for years and was doing alright but never quite felt it in the muscle like I was supposed to. Cory really knows the right cues to help you develop your mind muscle connection and you will definitely feel and see the difference. On top of that, my workouts with her are much more efficient than my workouts alone because the set up is so quick so you will get great results and spend less time working out. Even though we are working hard, I look forward to my workouts because she is not only a great trainer but an enjoyable person to be around. I highly recommend her if you are someone who wants to make a great investment for your health and confidence!
