I was introduced to this gym by a friend, and I'm so glad I gave it a try. As a runner and an aging woman, maintaining my muscle and bone strength is a priority, and the classes here have helped me do exactly that. Since joining, I've noticed increased strength and more muscle definition, especially in the areas that support my balance and running. The instructors are knowledgeable, patient, and always take the time to demonstrate each exercise and make sure your form is correct, which I really appreciate. Mike, the owner, is incredibly welcoming, and the overall atmosphere is supportive and encouraging. There's no intimidation here--just a great community focused on helping everyone reach their goals. Thank you, SDPT, for everything you do. I'm excited to continue this fitness journey with you! read more

SDPT runs a wonderful program tailored to my unique needs and existing conditions. 2 months in and I am noticing balance strength and flexibility I thought were unattainable at my age (69)! I highly recommend! read more

I will preface this review by saying, I currently train at Crunch, and have at least half a dozen gym memberships, all covered by my health insurance benefit at work. Funny thing, I actually pay for a ClassPass membership so I can studio-hop and try new things. This facility is one I discovered through CP. I debated this review, as I am not yet a member; however, I do come weekly and try different classes. While here, I observed their personal trainers working with people, and I knew instantly that I want to train here as soon as my year is up at Crunch. They really focus on form and movement here! I am aware I don't overhead squat properly, and I'm confident they can show me the proper progressions I need to do them right. My goals also include pistol squats, rehabbing my shoulder, improving my balance/stability and core, and not re-injuring. I don't know prices yet, and I will update this review when I learn more info. Total Metabolic Strength left me sweaty and tired! It was a great class... a mix of strength, agility, core, and balance. The Functional Strength Class, was eh... moderate for me. That particular day had more elderly people, and many of the exercises were not a set number of reps, but "as many as you can do". I got frustrated when they were done with Round 3 (they started putting equipment away) and I was still working Round 2. The coach had me finish my sets though, leaving them standing around talking. If I take this format again, I will bring my weighted vest with me. This center has a lot going on- there's also physical therapy and cyrotherapy. I look forward to utilizing both. I sometimes still need someone to pop my shoulder back in place haha, and cyrotherapy is great for pain management and exercise recovery. Aside from seeing individuals working out in proper form, the biggest draw for me was the vibe. As soon as I walked in, I felt welcome. They asked me my goals, and were as enthusiastic as I am about my fitness journey. The manager just so happens to exercise at my main gym, and watched me working with my trainer the day after I was here. She solidified a place in my heart because she was very supportive. She approached me to chat, and never once talked smack on my trainer... she actually praised him. That meant the world to me! I wish every gym was like this- a family who supports one another. Overall, I really love this facility and I look forward to continuing my journey here! read more

I took a class on Spartan training. The owner and course instructor Mike is very welcoming and accommodating. The other members are also very friendly. I enjoyed that the class size is small so that the instructor can really focus on providing everyone with a high level of coaching. This particular class was a lot of fun and a few members even gave me a few pointers on how to successfully complete obstacles more efficiently. I'll definitely come back but it is pretty pricey. read more

The knowledge, professionalism, well-structured workouts, the equipment and cleanliness of this training studio were all excellent! Their clients range from professional athletes to youth and elderly so whatever your goals are this is the place to go to achieve them and really get results! I highly recommend them! read more

The BEST group of trainers I have ever had the.opportunity to work out with. Each person has an evaluation to know what type of workout is suitable for the individual. I really love this place!!!! read more

Having an experienced knowledgeable personal trainer has been a value to me at my age. With joint issues I feel that the training I've received have only made me stronger and avoided medical intervention. SDPT feels like a family too. They make everyone feel like they belong no matter the level You are at. The boot camps are a great way to start and also jump start a healthier lifestyle. I have tried other gyms and this one far exceeds the training you receive. Pam read more

My husband and I were looking for a place that would tell me exactly what to eat and how to exercise! SDPT does it all, within their 8 week challenge I was able to get a menu plan, with recipes and a shopping list along with small group exercise classes. I love it! We both lost around 20 lbs, I feel more confidant in my exercising and I made a lot of friends. I highly recommend SDPT to anyone! This group is really down to earth and passionate about health and fitness! read more

Every single trainer I have come into contact with has been amazing. They correct your form, are patient, motivating and can make modifications, if needed. Most importantly it's a judgement free zone made up of people from all walks of life, so there's no pressure to be a leader on a scoreboard, everyone can go at their own pace without feeling like they are in a competition. read more

I've been coming to this gym coming on 8 years and I love it. It's my home away from home. Love the trainers!...they know what they're doing, they care about the clients and they've very supportive.

On Sunday morning they offer a Spartan class which is a ton of fun and challenges you in a different way. I would recommend this gym to anyone! read more

Great staff. Very knowledgeable and friendly. The staff has helped me work through injury in order to keep me exercising.

My husband and I train with Mike and he is amazing and after our workout we feel great, mentally and physically. This has actually helped me to like exercising. The place is very clean and I definitely recommend this place to anyone who is trying to get a personal trainer. I have had other trainers before but nothing like this place. Really happy we found them. Definitely give them a try. They are professional and very nice. They hold us accountable and we certainly enjoy getting our butt in shape. read more

Love this studio. I think it is my favorite. I love Nates classes. He makes them fun, and they go by so fast. You are sweaty, challenged and done! The gym has so much to choose from too. TRX, weights, classes, personal trainers, bikes, everything you need, plus they have massage tables to get worked on. Need I say more?? AWESOME read more

I lucked into SDPT some years ago. Best decision I made. Amazing community of clients and trainers. Anyone and Everyone can benefit from the great training. I'm a "senior" and am stronger than I was in much younger days. Mike Diebler keeps me motivated and focused on functional fitness as well as strength and flexibility. I can't recommend Mike and SDPT highly enough! read more

I've been training at San Diego premier for almost 3 years and I love this place! The trainers and other clients who you work out with are just awesome! They care about your fitness journey and are so encouraging! Working out there is not a chore like going to other gyms.... it's my favorite part of the day! read more

Look no further. Mike and his team are well educated, trained and experienced in getting you towards the healthier you, THE RIGHT WAY. No gimmicks, no silver bullet quick solutions that only last for a short period, only the truth and a real customized program that has helped my wife and I get in shape by eating right (thanks Emily) and doing the right exercises. My wife and I each get our own tailored made program that is responsive to our condition and progresses based on results. We are also doing the 28 challenge and that also has been a big contribution. I have had so many experiences with different trainers over the years and Mike is by far the best one yet! I have also worked with some of his team members and he keeps the same high level of standard across the board with the rest of his team! Give Mike, Emily and their team a try. You wont regret it. read more

I'm very happy to have found SDPT to help get me into shape. I've been working with Mike for about a month now and he has put together a great program for me that is customized to my needs and goals. The facilities are great, the programs are state of the art and the staff are professional, friendly, and most of all passionate about fitness. I could not be happier. read more

the facility is spacious and uncrowded. the trainers all seem to be well schooled and for th most part, work one on one. my personal trainer, frank childress, is excellent and has helped me quite a bit and i am a very senior citizen !! read more

I just started training at San Diego Premier Training and my first day was wonderful. The facilities are clean, comfortable and we worked outside. Mike Deibler was excellent and I am looking forward to continuing with him. read more

One of the best things my wife and I decided to participate in. We were both in a position that our eating and activity habits needed to change. After some extensive research we decided to sign up for an 8 week challenge with San Diego Premier Training. 10 weeks later, 23 and 20 lbs lighter, more energetic, stronger, more flexible etc., we could not be happier with this decision. All of the trainers that we worked with and the people that attended the class with were some of the nicest and encouraging people that we know. I just want to say thanks to Mike, Emily, Jen, Nate, Christine and Stephanie for all of the wonderful encouragement and assistance through our journey. If anyone is even considering a lifestyle change, please give these guys a call. read more

SDPT is great place for your fitness journey. They have great trainers, programs, and facilities to help and support you in meeting your goals. read more

Working alongside this group is one thing. But watching them from a distance and seeing the type of reception and warmth they give to their clients is beyond compare. One of the best gyms around and I highly recommend them to anybody looking for individual or group classes to improve their well being. read more

I absolutely love every single staff member at SDPT! I am a new client and the trainers have spent extra time assisting me to ensure I am doing the exercises correctly and that my form is on point. Many, many years of working out incorrectly has led to injuries and SDPT is helping me fix these issues. The trainers are very encouraging and supportive. The workouts are as difficult as you allow them to be which is great. Their class schedule is awesome as well. The classes are available to people who work for a living and can't make it to a 9:00 am weekday class. Thanks SDPT for being rad. read more

I found this place on living social and have been great flu ever since! I have never been one for working out, but Mike and Emily make it fun! There is a great group of trainers and you get to meet some really fun people in the classes! There is always something different going on, fitness class, Pilates, beach boot camp and the latest, obstacle coarse! If you are looking for a "lifestyle" change, this is the place you need to be!!!!!! read more

I honestly can't say enough good things about this place. I've been to many gyms across San Diego (I live in North County and work Downtown) so I've tried gyms near my home and work and everywhere in between. This places is by far one of my favorites. In fact, when I moved further south, I would still commute for 20 miles to Carlsbad and then 30 miles to work downtown (call me crazy but that's just how AMAZING this place is). Mike and Emily are incredibly knowledgeable, nice and helpful - I've taken multiple classes with them during the 8 week challenges. I have also spent a lot of time with the fabulous Jen Lowe (when I decided to do personal training) and highly highly highly recommend her if you're looking for personal training. Everyone here is extremely friendly and supportive but will kill you with their workouts (in the best way possible). read more

I just moved to Carlsbad from San Francisco and needed to find a trainer who really pays attention because I have such a bad back and have never been successful with other trainers but I started working with Christine Burke who's a trainer here and not only is she fantastic but my back is good and I totally see results. Christine really cares and pays attention to your needs. I highly recommend Christine and I'll continue to use her on a regular basis... read more

I started at San Diego Premier Training by using a groupon. I was super impressed from the moment I emailed them - both Emily and Mike are extremely friendly, helpful, and always available for questions. The cross-fit classes are a fun and awesome workout and the trainers are very knowledgeable and motivating! This is also a great place if you're looking for nutritional advice as well. The gym atmosphere is very welcoming (there are people of all ages and fitness levels), so I would highly recommend this place for anyone that is thinking of trying cross-fit but maybe feels intimidated by the idea. read more

All the previous reviews are right. Just like to add that SDPT is great at tuning workouts for injuries. Just let them know how you are hurt and they will give you modifications and adjustments to help strengthen and repair. It is great to workout with professionals who know what the limitations are but try to challenge you and get you to the next level of recovery, safely. read more

SD Premier Training and Mike Deibler and his gang should get even more than 5 stars. Mike is amazing. No BS. Mike knows what he is doing, he always keeps his work outs interesting and fun but they still manage to kick my butt every single time. Mike's prices are reasonable, he has all the latest equipment and even some new inventions that challenge your body in ways you would never think of. If you want to get in shape at a reasonable price, get signed up with Mike! read more

The small group classes are excellent. The trainers are very attentive and have helped me in achieving my fitness goals.

I want to give a BIG shout out to Mike and his community-minded spirit. I work out with my trainer, Christine, at San diego Premier Training. Recently Mike worked with me on promoting Soles 4 Souls, a charity that collects, cleans and distributes new and used shoes to areas that have been ravaged by natural disasters. With his and his staff's help they collected dozens of shoes that will help others in need. Thanks Mike, I love working out at your facility, and that you have a global perspective! read more

I have been training at SDPT for the last 4+ weeks. I was referred by a good friend who is very happy with the results she has seen. I have seen some dramatic improvement in both my strength and body composition. Mike is an amazing strength and conditioning coach as well as a healthy lifestyle mentor. He pushes me HARD in class and keeps me motivated to that last lift. I look forward to each workout even though I know I will have a hard time getting up off the floor at the end! If you happen to be looking for a gym or trainer that can really have an impact, this is where you want to be. read more

I train here with Christine and I love it. It's private so there aren' t a bunch of loud men grunting all around. I love changing up my exercises and learning that I can do more than I think I can. I've had other trainers in the past (normally at gyms) that refuse to do anything but the one size fits all training and appreciate that Christine listens and makes work outs just for me. read more

If you are looking for the number one trainer in San Diego County, you've found your guy! Mike Deibler is by far the BEST trainer! It doesn't matter what age or weight you are at, Mike will put together a program for you that will target your personal goals. I've been working out with Mike for 3 years now and the best part of his training is his innovative ways. He makes it fun to work out and stay in shape!! Look no further, you've found the right trainer! read more
