I had my first class here a few weeks ago. I have experience with HIIT classes but decided to try out a new studio since I was in a new area. The setup was a little different than the other places I've gone to but the workout was still killer! The equipment is all in good shape, the instructor had the right energy for the class, and the workout kicked my butt! I would recommend! read more

Horrible, also smelly studio w bad ac The workout is also all over the place and not good anymore read more

I have been going to Renegade since last summer. I love the College Ave location. It's clean and you have your own designated space. The workouts are great, more than I would make myself do, which is what I wanted. The coaches are extremely helpful and knowledgeable. I love coach Rachel, Amelia, and Dena and their motivating fun and energy. At 71 years old I am proof that Renegade is great for all ages and abilities. Come join and I'll see you there! read more

Renegade workouts feel so good! I love the combination of cardio and strengths to get sweaty sweaty sweaty! This location has some pros and cons. 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! read more

For what it is, its a good HIIT style workout, focusing mainly on cardio. You will sweat and burn your calories for the day. The format and routines are easy to understand. The coaches are friendly and the music energetic. The equipment is quite limited. I haven't seen any barbells/plates, so its just treadmills, handweights and bands/TRX. For me, I wish they would take out the treadmills and put some type of compound cabel machine with heavier weights in. Also would like to see barbells and plates on the bench/squat rack. The space might be too small for those. One thing that I do find annoying is the "North Park" branding. You're in City Heights, can we take pride in the actual community please. Claiming NP from east of the 805 comes off as pretentious. read more

I've gone here twice through Class Pass, and both times, it was a great work out! The coaches were great, but shout out to Nick who really helped me feel comfortable because I did not what I was doing! I like it's a group class where you move through the different stations. The equipment seems a tad old, but it gets the job done! I'll definitely be returning! read more

New ownership is making poor decisions. They removed weights from one portion and subsequently decreased the options for exercises. Now kettlebells are used awkwardly when dumbbells were more appropriate. They now put more emphasis on cardio. You always had the option to do cardio in lieu of weights, but for some reason they thought it was good to put everyone on treadmills. I feel bad for the folks with injuries that have to bike more now. The new programming is more generic and compound movements seem disjointed. The old programming was far superior. Not sure why the new management thought it was a great idea to transition away from what established them as the best gym in SD. Now considering other options. read more

COACHING: 5 stars for most coaches, their energy, and music. 6 stars for Courtney, Safi, Matt, and Amar! PROGRAMMING: 4 stars; I did weight training for a number of years so I feel I am pretty strong, but Tuesdays and Thursdays are focused on shoulders and biceps and the bicep work is excessive for most women. EQUIPMENT: 2 stars. Machines can take weeks to be repaired. Currently, the screen on multiple machines turns on but it doesn't actually track calories or distance. I reset the workout on the screen before I start and some machines will say I am running at a sub 4-minute mile pace. I might be fast but I'm not that fast. SENSE OF COMMUNITY: 1 Star. Simply put, there is no sense of community unless you count putting your first in the air and saying "work!" together after class. I've never been to another fitness studio where there are a dozen people waiting for a class in the lobby and nobody talks or interacts. There are different ways to get folks to talk to one another but that starts with the ownership and how they cultivate that. Be aware of their business model that makes them a ton of money: $99/month is great, but it's $15 for each "late cancellation." Late cancellation is cancelling your class less than 8 hours BEFORE it starts. So if something comes up with work, kids, etc. and you cancel 7 1/2 hours BEFORE your class starts, you are automatically charged $15. This rule is absurd and insensitive to the fact that life happens and people have extenuating circumstances. Renegade invests in a sales team to get you signed up. I was contacted several times within two weeks of visiting. Meanwhile, since I have joined and reached out to them, I get a delayed response or no response at all. Overall, Renegade ownership seems to care most about your money & their reviews. I'd stay for the coaches and workouts most days but I can't support a business that demonstrates (through their "late" cancellation policy and lack of responsiveness) it doesn't care whatsoever about its members. read more

Renegade - Non-functioning air runner with a cone on it for weeks now - Boot Camps Near Me - San Diego, California

Definitely one of the best fitness programs and micro-facilities in San Diego! Perfect for the busy working professionals to get back in shape. Most trainers are super talented and clearly passionate with their work. Cons: music can be too loud (Nick C has the loudest selection w his Rock preference) sometimes and penalty fee of no show can really hinder membership retention and growth. read more

This is quite honestly the best boutique fitness studio that I have ever discovered after literally trying every single studio in San Diego (that has multiple locations, not stand-alone ones)! I started going to Renegade back in March of this year when I was studio shopping in addition to also going to a regular gym, and 8 months later I'm still going 1-2x a week in addition to my regular routine! This combination of bootcamp style/CrossFit/PT is exactly what I need as I am a skinnier individual and want to get stronger but also want to push my cardiovascular ability which I don't find myself doing as much when I'm doing my regular gym workouts. I started going to Renegade UTC and would come for  Victoria's classes all the time because I worked with her at a previous gym, and she always absolutely killed me in the workouts by making sure I went heavier, bringing me extra weights. I've taken Tyler, Santana and Zander since then and they all have their different styles but always give me an absolute great workout. Now that I've moved down to South SD, I go to North Park now and make it out for Amar's classes, who is a beast! All the instructors are great and know exactly what they're doing. If you're looking for a studio where the instructors truly look and explain like amazing athletes, this place is for you. The WOD is written on the board, so it's easy to follow, they also explain and demo 10 minutes before the workout starts so if you're a beginner, you can rest assured they will teach you. I do have to say that this studio has a population that I think are some of the fittest people I've worked out next to compared to other studios (even F45, Barry's), so I think it speaks volumes to how people are progressing here! If you're new to working out, they definitely come around and fix form, and if you're only a cardio person, find peace that 1/3 of the work out you'll already know how to rock! (13 minutes of cardio on tread/assault bike). The studios themselves are beautiful when you walk in! It's true that the focus really is on the WORKOUT, so there isn't much cutesy front desk items, but I think that is what separates Renegade from other studios - this one is TRULY about fitness and pushing people to see real results, not any of that fluff stuff. Community is also what makes the hour visits so worth it. No other studio I know has members/coaches who I see become close to each other. I'm sad to say I'll be moving to SF soon but will continue being a part of the Renegade fam for as long as I can! (Expand to SF!!!!! ;)) read more

Renegade - Boot Camps Near Me - San Diego, California

It's fun and definitely motivating. But you have only that option as a gym if you sign up with them.

Monday evening with Amar (Legs, Back & Biceps) was KILLER! I consider myself a fitness fanatic & have gone to various workout facilities around San Diego & I always come back to Renegade. I teach dance & fitness myself so truly appreciate the high level of workouts and customer service I receive as a client every time I workout here. The North Park location is by far my favorite for multiple reasons. -Location - Close to 805 freeway on/off ramps. Close to my apt so convenient! -They're on ClassPass!! -It's CLEAN. Plenty of spray bottles, wipes & hand sanitizer around. -Plenty of SPACE! Especially when you're on the Turf section, I don't feel like I'm laying on my back looking up at someone in the Racks. Other locations are super tight & it's fine, BUT I prefer a little more space & NP affords you that. -Every Coach I've taken from has killed me in a good way. I leave feeling stronger. I also appreciate how ONE Coach can cue each section so seamlessly. As an instructor- that's not easy to do. So I applaud them for this!! They know when to push you and challenge you to up your weights or pick up speed in Cardio. Also they all have KILLER PLAYLISTS! I'll find myself bobbing and smiling which helps with these challenging workouts. It's a lot to take it your first time - So I'd go with a friend. I'd also let the coach know so they can help you if needed. Otherwise- RENEGADE is my favorite workout where I push my body to the limits! Bring your own sweat towel and water. FIRST TIMERS COME EARLY & get a feel for the Assault bikes and treadmills if you've never been on one. They're very different from your typical gym equipment. Highly recommend this place to everyone!!! read more

Great workouts! They kick my ass every time. Equipment is brand new and well maintained, environment is designed to make us focus on what we're doing at that moment and forget about anything else that might be in our minds. Coaches are fun, respectful and encouraging. I just love it! It's usually the best part of my days. Highly recommend it! read more

Renegade - Boot Camps Near Me - San Diego, California

The gym is pretty good. Some instructors are better than others. I only had one ride instructor. However, due to injury I am trying to cancel my membership. I have tried to contact them via the website and via email for a week. I have not gotten any response. I have also put in a help request on their website. read more

The workouts and the trainers are amazing. BUT the structure of the class is not really very efficient in my opinion. There's only one person instructing and 3 separate sections. They go over all the workouts at the beginning and they write each workout down on a board. Big problem for me is that I could barely see the board, I couldn't remember each workout (there are a lot ) and yes you will get help from the trainer when they come by but there's only one of them so you may fall behind. It was a bit too chaotic for me. If they change the framework of the class I would definitely consider coming back again. They need at least 2-3 trainers per class. Or a video playing in the background showing which workout you should be doing. read more

Definitely recommend this gym. Great for beginners and advanced clients. Great fitness program that allows you to work at your own pace. The trainers are knowledgeable and helpful when it comes to maximizing your workout. My favorite trainer is Amar, she knows her stuff! read more

Truly the best fitness class around! I have been attending the North Park location about 4-5 times a week for about a month now, and don't plan on leaving anytime soon. Renegade Fitcamp strategically plans each workout to challenge every muscle group throughout the week. They list the areas that will be worked out for each day of the week on their app, so you are mentally prepared about which muscle groups will be focused on before even coming to class. All the workouts are written down on the boards throughout the gym, and the trainers thoroughly explain each movement and form, along with modifications, if needed. Cardio, mobility, and strength training are all focused on in each class, which is so great! Renegade Fitcamp NP is very clean, and there are plenty of sanitizer spray bottles throughout the gym. Each person is responsible for cleaning the station they used, which keeps the gym sanitary. Even when the class is full, I still feel there is plenty of personal space to fully workout in each station. This is the first gym I've worked out in that has the blue light setting and the gym lighting is dimmed altogether, which I absolutely love. One of the best perks is that Renegade ALWAYS has the BEST music playlists during every class!! The good variety of music selection they play really makes the workout enjoyable and flyby! The trainers at the NP location have all been absolutely amazing! I usually take classes at noon, so most of my classes are with Amar, Courtney, and Teddy. All three of these trainers are extremely helpful, supportive, friendly, and so funny! I truly enjoy attending their classes and appreciate their attentiveness. They all make the effort to check in with us to see how our bodies are feeling, if we have any injuries that require modifications, and our overall satisfaction with everything. Amar, Courtney, and Teddy, thank you all so much for being such great motivators!! I highly recommend Renegade Fitcamp to everyone! read more

I'm loving this place! Just started here a lil over a week ago and I look forward to my workout. Haven't tried all the locations yet but so far north park and hillcrest are awesome! All the trainers are super helpful and focused on pushing us during the workouts, keeping you motivated and making sure we are on track with the correct exercise or movement. I love the different stations and how the circuit works, it's a great work out! It takes a few classes to get the hang of switching movements within the routine but everyone is friendly and helpful. If you want a place that gets you feeling pumped about getting into shape this is the place to join! On 3 WORK! read more

Renegade is definitely one of my top choices for a workout. I never walk out feeling like I didn't get a good workout. It's definitely not easy, but even as a beginner, you can start with less weights, slower pace, etc. The coaches there want to make sure that everyone, whether you are new or old or have injuries, can get an effective workout. Somehow the coaches can run 3 timed stations while still making sure everyone is using proper technique! They are amazing! I enjoy that the cardio portion is a little bit less time than other resistance/cardio workouts. The weight and turf portions work the day's muscle groups to exhaustion (yes, that's a good thing), but you still burn just as many calories as workouts with more cardio. As far as the cost goes, you get a great value compared to many gyms. No, they don't have showers, smoothie bars, or other bells and whistles, but we do to the gym to workout, right? I love that they added the North Park location. It's so convenient for me, especially since I like early morning workouts and don't want to have to go far from home. I also love that it's on Classpass. I will definitely keep Renegade on my workout schedule! read more

Ever since joining Renegade Fitcamp over a year ago I have never felt more motivated and committed to my health. At 47 yrs of age I felt a huge decline in my energy and needed a kick start. Taking the classes at Renegade gave me just that. Workouts are intense and designed for results if you do your part. Every single trainer there has the knowledge and motivation to guide you during the class. If you are looking for results and are tired of going to these big box gyms to see people wasting time sitting on machines, hit up Renegade. You will have no regrets!!! read more

Renegade - Renegade Fitcamp 6am class - Boot Camps Near Me - San Diego, California

I trialed Renegade yesterday and had such a great experience. The lower body workout was super fun, fast-paced, and creative - exactly what I was looking for, and hadn't been able to find at other similar studios. It was a little challenging to remember all the exercises for the different circuits, so I just watched the people around me, but I'm hoping that gets easier with time. Matt in particular is a gem! He kept an eye on my form the whole time, knowing I have a knee issue, and he made sure that me and the other new person feel right at home. I can't wait to come back and try more classes. read more

My new favorite ClassPass class!! I am so happy with the addition of Renegade Fitcamp to ClassPass. The classes are challenging and fun. I surprisingly look forward to Renegade classes, even after three days of back to back classes. I have gone to over ten classes with at least five different instructors and they've been consistently great. There are three different components to each class. Cardio is a combination of bikes and treadmills. Turf is mostly kettlebells with battle ropes and resistant bands thrown into the mix sometimes. Racks are all strength and TRX focused. This mix makes the class fly by. I would compare the workout to Barry's Bootcamp with the addition of the turf and less focus on cardio. The cardio portion of the workout is less intense at Renegade compared to Barry's. There are three things that I like with Renegade compared to Barry's: newer equipment, larger space, more locations. On top of a great workout and awesome coaches, the energy from fellow classmates really pushes me through classes as well. Give yourself extra time for parking during peak hour classes like afternoons and weekend morning classes. Have fun! read more

Going back to the gym after a long break can be overwhelming. But going back to Renegade made it easy. The classes are designed to push you, but you can start at a level that works for you, and then increase from there. All of the trainers are knowledgeable, motivating, and make it fun to be back in the gym. read more

Recently worked out at Renegade Fitcamp for the first time! Love this studio, great instructors, thorough explanation of workouts and awesome playlists. If you're looking to sweat and also have fun, you need to try Renegade! read more

Recently started at Renegade in North Park after having completed a six week gym challenge. I've been to a number of high intensity interval training (HIIT) style gyms. This one, without a doubt, actually lives up to that name-- I am gassed by the end of every session. If you aren't completely soaked with sweat by the end of these sessions, you are doing something wrong. I love that a cardio station is included with lifting instead of just one or the other. The interval cardio is perfect for me because I play league and pick-up soccer, which often consists of a lot of standing or jogging to full sprint. I am looking forward to continuing here, and the fact that I can easily walk there is an added benefit. I would say this gym does cater to a more advanced athlete/someone who is already in decent shape due to its intensity, but that shouldn't dissuade you from giving it a try. They offer three few sessions, so the worst thing that can happen is you get your ass kicked three times and get a great workout in the process. read more

This gym has gone above and beyond any sort of expectations I had for it. Pre-COVID, the coaches push you, work you, and train you to really be the best you. During COVID (to present), their mind set and motto hasn't changed, even amidst all of the challenges they faced; They have continued to thrive while making all of the members feel safe and welcomed back into this new 'normalcy.' I absolutely adore this gym and I am so happy to be a part of the Renegade family. read more

Have to do another updated review because I cannot get over how much I love Renegade. From the trainers/coaches, to the clients, Renegade is simply amazing!!! They are opening more locations which means they are hiring more coaches and they do a superb job at that. It really means A LOT, when a gym takes the time to hire qualified coaches/trainers and ensures they are trained well too. San Diego is such a "fit" city so there are plenty of "trainers" out there, but not all truly know what they are doing. As a former collegiate athlete and after having two knee surgeries, I am always skeptical when it comes to a gym and their coaches/trainers. Renegade will ensure you are getting an amazing workout in but also using the proper form. That is crucial (along with proper recovery) to prevent injuries. Keep it up Renegade. Cannot wait to visit you at your new locations! read more

Simply the best HIIT workout in San Diego! As a former professional triathlete I know a little about training. I wish there was a Renegade Fitcamp around when I was racing! I've never been more fit. The staff is so knowledgeable and the workouts are insane! Go get some! read more

Renegade - Renegade all star trainer Conor! - Boot Camps Near Me - San Diego, California

I signed up for a 3 day trial back in March. I fell absolutely in love with this place after the first class. The vibe is contagious and motivating. The atmosphere is dark, loud, sweaty and perfect! The workouts are tough but not in a way that makes you feel like you're failing the whole time, the kind of tough that makes you feel like a badass when you leave. The coaches care, and motivate you all while watching/correcting your form throughout. There's a cool team spirit you can feel that is very inclusive (for those nervous cause they're out of shape, don't worry!) you won't feel out of place, just extra inspired. Covid hit after my 3rd day and they closed. What a tease. In the meantime, I have been loving the Instagram workouts. The coach makes them challenging but fun plus plays the perfect tunes and is mad entertaining. Check em out. read more

Very disappointed!!! I've tried to get in contact and wrote several emails unable to get in contact with someone. All my emails have been have not been replied to. read more

Renegade is an amazing workout! I have tried so many different gyms in the San Diego area but had always wanted to give renegade a try and I haven't looked back since! The workouts are challenging and different so I never get bored but not too hard where I won't come back haha. The trainers are super friendly and helpful. I love the treadmills they are super comfortable to run on! I highly recommend trying renegade you won't be disappointed! read more

The best decision I have made for my health in the past 5 years was joining Renegade! North park is the main location I go to and all the coaches are extremely helpful, encouraging, and engaged in your personal fitness goals. I was not expecting to love it as much as I do since I'm terrible at cardio (they use assault treadmill and assault bikes) and I was very intimidated by the rigorous style of fitness... but omg it's now my favorite part of class! It's challenging but it really does push you to train at a higher level then I even believed I could! In terms of the classes overall they are amazing for mobility and strength! The conditioning of the classes sets you up for the best possible fitness results! I used to be a barre instructor and take Pilates all the time and although I saw results renegade has helped me push through my 5 year physical plateau and gain even more results then I though possible. The community has to be the best part of renegade... you don't go to these classes and not do your very best the coaches are amazing. I truly feel like I have 1-1 coaching every time I walk in, even with a completely full class! They help you with form, modifications, and how to take your workout to the next level! Hands down one of the best fitness classes in San Diego! I highly encourage anyone to try it out. At first it seems like it's an overload because of the structure of the class but once you take 2-3 classes you will go in and feel confident about how to go through class! I personally love that I can talk to the coaches about what type of results I'm looking for too and they have been there to help get me there the whole way! read more

Awesome workout and even more awesome instructors/owners! Every workout is challenging and pushes you in all the best ways. I love their breakdown by the day into different body parts, really allowing you to focus on increasing strength and mobility. Of all the gyms I've been to in SD this one is the BEST at ensuring correct form, actually working on breaking down movements, and helping with technique. Definitely recommend Renegade to anyone looking to transform their body and get their butt kicked every day! read more

Best decision I made joining this gym! First three classes are free for that trial period. The receptionist gave me the rundown on how the workouts go and the coach welcomed me as if I was a regular. I really love the system. Different workout combos each day. The coaches help you out with your form. I was instantly hooked after my first three classes. I've noticed major improvement in my stamina, muscle toning and strength. read more

THIS PLACE IS 100. I don't even know where to start.... Once you try Renegade you'll be hooked. The music, the fast paced, high energy fun workout with coaches that know what they're doing. I recommend the 3 day trial to all my friends and if you decide to try it hit me up haha! I played high school sports but my experience in the gym is beginner/intermediate at best. I love this gym/workout class because all you have to do is show up, turn off your brain and go to work. I have never been so sore & so sweaty in my whole life as when I first started Renegade. I know being sore and sweaty is not a good indicator of a good workout but you have to admit it's kinda telling. I lost a bunch a weight after setting some life goals when I turned 30. Nutrition is always first in my book but I got bored with constantly doing cardio, orange theory and F45. IMOHO Orange theory is for soccer moms, F45 is hit or miss and great if you're single & need a date, cardio is boring but I love Renegade and how it's constantly evolving as you evolve. It's no nonsense and everyone attending is there to get better, faster, stronger. I've only done a few workouts in my life that when you are finished it feels like everyone around you has drank the juice & everyone feels accomplished. Renegade has this vibe. You immediately gel with coaches and other class attendees. They're rooting for you and you're rooting for them. It's hands down my favorite group workout. I've currently been going for for 4ish-5 months now about 5-6x a week. Someday I'd love to get to 2-a-day workouts but I'm not there YET! I love everything about this group workout gym. I recommend trying out all the locations, different times and coaches. You will groove/vibe with certain things differently than I do. There are all different types of skill levels & people that attend classes so figuring out what you jive with is best. You may be a 5AM-er or middle of the day kinda person. Also, finding which coach + music helps you pump/run is great too! Jamie Rice, Jimmy boulden, Ashley Randall, Kendall Iler, Matty Borie, Luis Borjas, Jason Durant, Kevo Matthews, & Nick Hardwick are my favorite coaches. Jamie is the best but his classes book fast. See you there fam. Let's kick some @$$ read more
