This studio offers a really challenging hiit circuit type workout. Im in my 50s, and it took me a…read morefew months to get acclimated but my body already feels and looks stronger. I can push it hard or go easy depending on what else I'm doing, instructors give clear instructions and alternatives. At this point I'm starting to learn more of the exercises so It's not cognitive overload trying to remember everything at the beginning of the session. They always helped me out, but it feels good to just relax into the workout. So, give this a try and give it a few months. Only wishes are: 1) the mat smell can sometimes be overwhelming, not sure what to do about that. 2) they only offer 5 lbs weights and 10 lb dumbbells on the racks. As a woman (lots of us here!) it would be so much better to have some 7s or 8s because I always have to choose too low or too heavy. 3) No real community, but it's dark and loud so you can't really carry a convo inside. Dark and loud is great for concentrating on the exercise though so it is what it is. The coaches are phenomenal and get me to work harder than I ever would on my own and I am "forced" to do a cardio circuit which is my least fav and also getting easier. Yay renegade. Also, and people have mentioned this in other reviews: everyone is ripped here and I frequently see instructors in my classes so while I'm sure folks do other things too, I think this workout really gets results if you show up and push hard.

This is a brand new studio and it shows the moment you walk in. Everything feels fresh. The…read moretreadmills, the rowers, the floor equipment, all of it feels crisp and ready for real work. The coaches are the real stand out (I'm looking at you Sara and Alex) Maybe it is the energy of a new studio or maybe it is a team that is genuinely locked in, but they feel present in a way that is not always the case at long running locations. They watch form. They give personal corrections. They keep the room moving without losing the individual in the crowd. At older studios it can sometimes feel like routine takes over and the coaching becomes familiar to the point of autopilot. UTC feels like the opposite of that. Coaches here get you engaged and do the work to keep you motivated. Classes run smoothly. The energy is strong. You walk out feeling like the coaches were actually with you the entire time. Parking is easy, which is rare in this area. The only odd detail is the set of thirty minute spots right up front even though every class runs a full hour. It is not an issue... just weird.

I would like to address a negative review that references a class that I was physically present for…read moreregarding the use of cell phones in class (which is a violation of the rules at OTF and phones aren't to even be brought into the actual studio with you, they're to be left in lockers). Sara handled the situation with poise and professionalism, and I am thankful for her stepping in to address the situation. I was in a different station than the girls who were recording and being on their phones, but I was aware of what was going on because they were laughing and recording while working out. As mentioned previously, phones are not meant to be out during class and, unless you have prior consent from the coach and the studio (of which I can think of one member who was doing a promo for them and got permission), participants aren't to film in the studio. This is part of the reason I go to OTF, because I do NOT want to be filmed while working out unless I consent to it, and I definitely don't consent to being in the background of videos of random people at the studio. I was on the treadmill when the girls at issue were on the rower and they were goofing off and did not appear to be taking the workout seriously while recording and playing on their phones. Sara, rightfully, asked them to put the phone away because it was disrupting the entire class, which it was. I was at a completely different station and was distracted by them recording and playing on their phone and missed a cue from Sara because of it. Sara is a wonderful coach, and the atmosphere at OTF UTC is welcoming, but people are there to work out. We all are working on improving ourselves and while the workouts are meant to be fun, the rules are in place for a reason. I'm incredibly thankful that Sara spoke up during class because it was a distraction and it made me greatly uncomfortable knowing I could be in the background of their videos. Sara, thank you for all the work that you do and the heart you give to this studio.

The machine itself and the variety of workouts you can imagine are wild, but what makes them so fun are the amazing instructors! I have taken class from about 4-5 different instructors but I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE Justine's classes the best! Her energy, instruction, program, music, and style make class so enjoyable, even when she's wiping you across the floor! Her combinations and programming are always challenging, but also dynamic and fun! You enjoy trying to pretend you look as good as they do demoing the exercise, but most importantly, you get a killer workout with the total body conditioning and strength training while it being low-impact. Don't be fooled by the simplicity and ease of doing an exercise - I don't always sweat like a maniac, but I always feel the burn and most times I burn out the muscles! Every other week they rotate the lower body exercise between lunges and squats, but every workout has a total body component that always includes upper body work and core. I found this place on ClassPass, but will likely purchase a package in the near future so the studio can have more direct income. There are several girls I've seen many times, so they have a very loyal and repeat membership. The studio is located on Morena Blvd, shortly before Costco in the PB area. Parking is on the street and not in the Fruit Stand parking lot. Traffic can be a little busy, but I've always been able to find street parking. They have several classes throughout the weekdays, with fewer on the weekend, but still many options. They have a water dispenser, and the studio is always clean and tidy. They also have everyone clean the equipment at the end of each class. I HIGHLY recommend this studio if you want a great workout that's low impact and will really help you strengthen and tone your body! Thank you to Heather, Justine, and the crew for creating such a fun, dynamic studio to tone, lean, and strengthen!

You do…read moremost of your exercises on a machine that similar to a reformer but you actually change the incline on it depending on what you're doing. You also use some weights and resistance bands. Justine was my instructor today and she was very attentive. I'm working through a few injuries and she was great as far as offering modifications that would make the work out appropriate for me. As much as I enjoyed the workout, and I will go back, I do have a couple things that keep me from giving the studio five stars. First of all, I found the equipment to not be very clean. The parts of it that you touch are clean, but the components underneath the equipment were very dusty and dirty. I'm talking clumps of stuff on the equipment. And again it's not a part that I'm touching but when I'm leaning over doing a plank on the machine, I'm looking directly down on it. Then when I'm laying on my back, looking up at the ceiling, the big industrial looking vents that are on the ceiling are also covered in clumps of dust and dirt. I feel like these are things that they should be cleaning at least once a month just knowing that the positions that you get in for these exercises, the clients gaze will be directly on them. And judging by the amount of dust and dirt and lint, etc., on the surfaces, it hasn't been done in a very long time. The second thing is the microphone kind of seems a little hollow to me. When the instructor speaks, the music goes down, but then when the instructor stop speaking, the music volume goes back up and sometimes with the volume changing and the hollow sound it's difficult for me to tell what the instructor saying. This might just be a matter of my taste. I can definitely work around it and was able to follow the class because the instructor was really good about demonstrating everything.

I've tried all the new circuit classes from Revel Fit, Renegade, OTF, F45, and I guarantee that no one will program or kick your a$$ like Bryan at Versatile Fitness! This is a no-frills, old boxing gym vibe (think OG Rocky) where you come to WORK! Bryan's programming, exercise acumen, and super sets will challenge you, but also be some of the most effective and productive workouts. He has almost every piece of equipment I've seen in a gym from rowers, ropes, barbells, curl bars, pulley systems, sleds, water weights, benches, kettlebells, free weights, Terra core, TRX, bands, discs, and the list goes on. I have attended about 10 classes and I have yet to repeat a workout. It's insane the quality of training and programming you would get through this gym for the price. Anywhere else, it would cost thousands for this level of programming, so anyone who attends these classes is getting a steal of a deal for this type of workout! Classes are 45min, with several stations per class. Each day has a target focus such as pull, push, leg, abs, and/or cardio, depending on the day. The target is there, but you are always getting a decent total body workout. Each station has 2-3 exercises that you do 2 sets per station. You have around 3 people per station, and then you rotate. Bryan goes around to demo each exercise as you move stations, and also has the workouts written on a whiteboard at the front of the room. Bryan will also provide quick corrections, as needed. Please note, in large group class settings, rarely will get you get alot of correction or instruction. It's not feasible to have that much personalized focus in these types of classes. Each class starts with a short warm-up, and a quick cooldown at the end. I have only taken class with Bryan, as he is the staple of this gym. He also has an extensive background with over 20yr of experience and he also offers some nutrition and personalized coaching programs for fat shredding and other fitness goals. This gym is a hidden gem and morning classes are usually full. I am literally perplexed how the afternoon classes are not exploding with members because I have yet to see anyone have the stellar exercise programming and versatility that Versatile Fitness provides. I've seen so many different trainers and attended many gyms, and Bryan's programming is the most innovative and BRUTAL (in the best way), that I've experienced. If you're looking for a serious SWEAT, a great community, and incredible workouts, VF is the spot!

Side note: I appreciate that Bryan the owner places a large focus on finding trainers that are a cultural match for VF. Shregar, Victor, and Mauritzio all bring the energy.

I decided to stick with it, and I'm really glad I did. The structure of the workouts makes it easy to stay consistent, and the energy in the room is incredible. What really stands out, though, is the support from the coaches. They make you feel comfortable, push you when you need it, and genuinely want to see you succeed. A big thank you to Gemma, Lorenzo, and Sarah for all the encouragement and support. You've made this a great experience.

But it's thanks to Justin's leadership the entire team inspires me, whether I'm hearing other trainers across the gym or chatting at the front desk, or moved just a bit extra by daily quotes on the whiteboard. Every hard rep is celebrated with high fives and every day I'm not training, the staff is working hard on my nutrition, my growth, and adjustments for chronic pain. John was there to hear *all* my concerns my very first day, top of which was that I've been recovering from an eating disorder since 2012 and had been fearful of training because of triggering language or incentive. John briefed the whole team for me, and 8 months in I've never once had to explain myself or course correct. They got me, they push me, they celebrate with me, and see me as a person they're really invested in. It's obvious that same level of energy and investment carries to all their clients. Today I feel strong, excited, powerful, and healthy. I fit my jeans again, I'm eating better food, and I'm still completely removed from bad habits, all because the iron orr team carries that weight (and counts for me every rep! ;) ) I've come to love them all as friends and members of a big San Diego community and I'm going to train there the rest of my life, on my way to becoming a ripped grandma.
