You want to prepare for a Hyrox. You're willing to work, so why hire a coach? Most gyms offer just access to equipment; there is no way to learn how to move safely, there is no comprehensive training plan, and there is no accountability. Over time, this lack of progress creates frustration. So, hire a coach! Here, you'll get access to classes with elite-level coaching that makes sure you're preparing safely and efficiently, a community of people with similar goals, a way to track your progress, and a real plan so you don't have to figure it out on your own! read more

I recently started going to Shamba and absolutely love it. I signed up for my first HYROX and came here specifically to train and get prepared. As a fitness instructor with 9+ years of experience and a former triathlete, I can confidently say the coaches are amazing... they are knowledgeable, motivating, and supportive. The sense of community here is unmatched, and everyone I've met has been so welcoming. I've already invited friends and family to try it out. Highly recommend! read more

Shamba Vibe - Interval Training Gyms Near Me - Costa Mesa, California

I have been coming for 3 months and I absolutely LOVE this gym! I was on the fence about committing to a gym and the price but I quickly fell in love and my excuses evaporated. The owner Jake was so friendly and inviting. I got a newcomer special and I fell in love with the workouts and the people and I happily stayed. I normally shop around first but this time I never went to another gym and I don't regret it at all. I'm so happy here! I love the Olympic weightlifting classes with Eric on M & W evenings. I have learned so much technique and I'm getting better and stronger with a lot of individualized feedback and one on one care in the classes. I absolutely love the other CrossFit style classes. They kick my butt in a good way and I'm motivated to work hard every time. The coaches always make a personal connection and give custom tips throughout the class and yell out motivating things to me individually. It's a small detail but makes a big difference in how I push myself. I love classes with Jake, Thomas, Noe and Coach P. They all give great technique and pay very close attention to the details of your progress. I consider myself a shy introvert and this gym has been completely welcoming- both the teachers and students. If you're wondering about difficulty (and know nothing about Hyrox or CrossFit like me,) then if there was a scale between easy workouts and super crazy fitness trainer and influencer level where the workouts are 3 hours, this is a nice inbetween. I personally find the workouts challenging but always within reach. But they definitely push you! It's great, I love it! A cool feature is often they organize the workouts as parter based so you get motivated alongside someone on a similar level. Also I really love that they have three locations and I have used all three to fit my scheduling needs. Not a lot of gyms in Costa Mesa have that perk!! They also have social mixers too. So this week I'm going to their evening holiday party and I'm really excited. This gym offers it all & you really don't need to try anywhere else. read more

Shamba Vibe - Me and Coach Eric - Interval Training Gyms Near Me - Costa Mesa, California

Great place, positive people all around and athletes of all ages that have committed themselves to their fitness journey.

Great gym all around. The coaches are wonderful and class sizes are just right to get extra help on those tricky lifts you're trying to perfect. The community is both welcoming and inclusive. The facility is huge and they are constantly adding new equipment, while the programming is both functional and fun. Best box for cross training and hyrox in Orange County hands down read more

May The Vibe Be With You! Can you feel it? No, it is not "The Force." It is "The Vibe!" What is "The Vibe?" Recently, I moved. I had to find a new gym. This is particularly difficult because I have been doing crosstraining with my 14 year old since age 6. Yup, she knows the Crossfit and olympic movements. She smokes me at WODs and can pump out 100 unbroken double-unders in the middle of a workout. Not many dads can say they workout daily with their daughter. She is on a swim team to boot. Finding an awesome gym was critical. She definitely wants a vibe. This is not just a gym. The workouts are heavily influenced by the coaches and the athletes. There is an upbeat setting with a hint of Boston Camaraderie.100% free of intimidation and 100% Positive People. These workouts are Fun! Add in sweat, great music, barbell lifting, weight dropping madness and two dashes of dance club-street dancing fun and you have "The Vibe!" Fun and experienced male coaches and a stealthy strong female coach make the daily workouts different, exciting and something to look forward to all day long. May "The Vibe" be with you! read more

The coaches are amazing. They help you get a great workout at your level and pace. I started coming regularly after I was winded jumping around for 1min in a bounce house with my daughter. Now I'm carrying her up a snowy mountain to go sledding and I feel amazing. It hasn't even been a year and I'm so thankful for being able to keep myself healthy and in shape with the help of all the coaches and the great workouts programmed. I also don't mind all the compliments I get from people haven't seen telling me I look great and have lost weight. All the members are great and it's always a blast working out with them. You will be thankful you started a year from now. read more

I am a member of Vibe, my 2nd home, since 2020. The coaches care about your athletic progress and you as a person. I have grown as an athlete and matured socially because of the Vibe community. I recently received my CF-OL1, being inspired and trained by Coach/owner Jake and Coach Noe. I HIGHLY recommend this box for beginners and seasoned athletes. Why not?! The first three sessions are on the house. Private coaching is available also. Look forward to meeting you soon! read more

These guys are the real deal. I am not in my twenties anymore and they were very accommodating. All the training staff is super professional and experienced. If you are looking for a good Crossfit gym with a good community you have found the right spot. read more

I only joined for 3 months, but I can't say better things about this place. I was trying to get back into shape but was losing momentum just going to the GYM. This location is near my work and has showers so I could go before work (classes as early as 5:00). Each trainer has a high level of attention to detail, so they will take the time to give you tips/how-to on the workouts. Its the big difference I noticed when compared to oversized/cheaper classes. All the trainers I worked with had a solid training/work experience relating to fitness and health. I never felt like I was put in a position to hurt myself. The only reason I left was my wife saw my enthusiasm and started doing the workouts with me. She liked them so much that we joined a class near my home so we can both go. Its not as good as CrossFit Vibe, but working out with my wife is so much fun, its worth the sacrifice. If you're thinking about trying a class, try here first. Its pricey for people not use to paying for these types of specialized gym memberships, but the trainers and atmosphere are worth it. read more

The gym community here is amazing. Coaches are like no other and the workouts give me lifeeee!

I visited CrossFit Vibe while on vacation. I really enjoyed spending a week at this gym. The facility was very spacious and the programming is really good. I believe that they used Mayhem programming which I am a big fan of. The members and coaches were really welcoming. I would definitely visit this gym again if I was in the area. read more

Crossfitvibe/Shamba Vibe is truly an incredible gym & special place. The coaches are awesome, knowledgeable, motivational, approachable & encouraging. They do a great job of challenging you while also helping modify if/when necessary. The gym has a wonderful community and the members are great as well. They challenge and push each other while also supporting one another. I've been a member for about 8 years and not only have Jake & all the coaches helped me grow and stay healthy as an athlete, but they have definitely kept me mentally sane as well! Check it out! You won't regret it! read more

And for my 300th review... I give you Crossfit Vibe. "I see burpees." Doh!! I'm so happy I re-started my fitness lifestyle with crossfit. Since signing up in early 2013, I've seen a lot of fitness improvements with a 3-4days a week schedule (on top of other activities and "cleaner diet"), met a bunch of cool and fitness minded people and learned so many new techniques. I always look forward to coming here, it's never a dull moment. The feeling of getting through a tough workout is like no other. This gym (aka box) offers a great crossfit program, morning bootcamps and private training as well. The coaches are very knowledgeable and friendly. They will also push you to your limits and encourage you to do your best, while emphasizing correct form. The facility is nice and roomy with great equipment. Cold water, clean small towels and two showers are also available. From the beginners to elite fit, You'll get a great workout with focus on form and technique. Crossfit is definitely a wake up call and pushes yourself to be better. CFVibe is also a Crossfit Games affiliate so if you want to challenge yourself and sign up for the games, they can host and verify your WOD score. No excuses... You will get sore, you will see results. Check out the website. read more

This is a great gym and a great community. The coaches are experts and will work with you based on your goals. They take pride and enjoy when the athletes benefit from their coaching. Also, the gym and its high-quality equipment are kept very clean and organized. I can't say that about most gyms. The shamba vibe community is great and very welcoming. About once a week we all go out as a gym (coaches and athletes) and get a meal together after a workout. I've been there since Jake took ownership nearly 2 years ago and have only good things to say. Additionally, there are wrestling and jiu jitsu classes and open mats for all age groups. The mats are high quality and kept very clean. The Shamba Wrestling Academy has various alumni wrestling at the collegiate level now. Top quality program. read more

The coaches here are great and the atmosphere is inviting for people of all ages and ability levels. Being a small female in a gym where heavy weights are being lifted is intimidating sometimes but I've gotten a lot stronger here and more importantly, I have fun! read more

I joined CrossFit Vibe about two month ago and can't get enough. This is my first foray into crossfit and the team at Vibe has been great at teaching the movements, suggesting modifications, and providing encouragement. I look forward to each class and always leave feeling glad I went. All of the instructors are fantastic. Special shout to Jake, Greg, Noe, Daniel, and Tien for all their enthusiasm and expertise. Their music selection is also on point. The schedule is packed with classes so there is always a way to fit a workout into your day. The facility is large, clean, and well equipped, including two showers. And they use the Wodify app so you can always see the upcoming workouts, reserve your spot, and track progress. They've also built a great community. The members have all been friendly and willing to share advice and tips on a variety of topics. They even do holiday activities like potlucks and kid-friendly activities for members and their families. It's a great experience all around. read more

This is an amazing gym. Jake and the coaches take the time to help you, from training to working through injuries. Everybody is welcome. No ego. Very friendly! You get a great sense of community the minute you walk through the door. Whether your a pro or a beginner this is the place to go! read more

This is the best gym to ever exist and I couldn't be happier with my results from being here. Everyone is family here and it feels like an amazing enviorment read more

If you guys are looking for a gym look no further. I've spent the last month practically living in Tustin for work and only home for the weekends. I was calling around to find a CrossFit gym to keep me busy and from the moment I called this box to the moment I stepped foot into here has been an amazing experience where this was my first and only stop in looking for a gym to sign up for the month. The owners and coaches here have made this hard process being away from home better for me. Just in this short amount of time I've grown so much with my lifting techniques & the art of stretching, warming up and controlling my breathing. Today I hit my last wod here and I'm truly going to miss spending my evenings after work here. I'm definitely going to be making my way back down here to drop in and I highly encourage you guys to drop in and check this place out. Thank you @crossfitvibe for making me feel at home! Seriously guys check them out. True athletes here that care about the quality and safety of your lifts. read more

Great box. Well organized. Good for those who want to go hard as well as those who are less ambitious. The environment is encouraging and inclusive. What a great community. read more

This gym is Awesome!!! I had heard all about CrossFit and watched the competitions on ESPN and wanted to see what it was all about. They show people that they are stronger than they think. All of the trainers are cool and help motivate you along the way. Also, any class you join in on, the people help keep you going too. I did the Surf City, HB Half-Marathon, hit 24-Hour Fitness pretty frequently and none of that is comparing to the CrossFit gym. Check it out, give it a shot, you will not be disappointed. read more

Best gym in OC! I've bounced around to multiple gyms in the Newport Beach/Costa Mesa area and keep coming back here. The coaches are super knowledgeable and invested in your improvement! They are experts at tailoring the workout to any level of fitness. The programming is top notch and most importantly, FUN. Highly recommend for anybody looking to improve their fitness read more

Note: I am a total newb at crossfit! I've traditionally done strength training at my local gym, running, and cycling. But my strength has waned over the last year and my six-pack has long since disappeared. I recently moved work locations right around the corner from CrossFit Vibe and decided to take a demo class. Exhausted afterwards? Sure, but I was hooked immediately. First, the staff is great!! They take the time to work with you on techniques, provide encouragement, and do the workout of the day alongside you. The routines vary and provide a whole-body workout. The staff will also modify exercises depending on your abilities. I have a messed up shoulder and they have personalized certain exercises so I can strengthen it without causing further injury. The atmosphere is supportive and the other members will cheer you on. It is a great environment that is friendly, yet thoroughly challenging. I am typically smoked at the end of the session, but can't wait to come back again. If you're interested in CrossFit or in getting back into shape, I highly encourage you to take a demo class at CrossFit Vibe!! read more

I really enjoyed working out here. Jeff and Tien are friendly, knowledgeable, and make you feel really welcome. Never having tried Crossfit before, it definitely kicks your butt and makes you challenge your own limits. After doing a WOD (Workout of the Day) you feel accomplished because you worked out really hard. (And have the sweat dripping to show for it!) This particular CF is great because of the small class sizes and really awesome members they have here. Still deciding if I should be an active member but if you are wanting to try CF, try this one out! And you get a 1 week free trial :) read more

I love Crossfit Vibe! When I first visited in 2021 I was welcomed and greeted by multiple members. Since then I have found a great community who have turned into friends. I have been able to improve my fitness tremendously while being at Vibe. This gym has all the equipment you might need for your training and the facility size allows for larger class sizes with still having plenty of room. I highly recommend membership or even just dropping in! read more

Love the owners, coaches and box! They are welcoming, friendly and treat you like a family friend from the moment you enter. I have been on a two week break due to a volunteer commitment but will be back! read more

Great spot very informative and friendly coaches, team oriented atmosphere. 10/10 would Fit again! Ok

First time doing CrossFit and I love it. Everyone at CrossFit Vibe has been so supportive and take their time to explain each workout. Jeff and Tien are fantastic instructors. I'm really happy to have found it. read more

I am so happy to have found this place. I started with a free class, then drop-in classes and eventually a monthly subscription. They have some of the best pricing options in Irvine. The owner Jake and the trainers are amazing! They all genuinely make you feel welcomed and comfortable and greet you every time you attend. I've been to other CrossFit facilities in the area and some of the trainers acted like they were Gods and were very unapproachable especially while they were working out before class. This facility has more than enough space and equipment to get a great workout. There are showers and restrooms as well. The trainers don't push you and encourage you to continue with the workout when you feel like giving up. They also help to ensure that you have proper form so you get maximum benefit from the workout and don't injure yourself. Keep up the good work! read more
