I was a member of SSOD for about five years. Following the sale of the business and continued (recently prosecuted) illegal business practices on the part of the new owner, I chose to cut ties with the organization. Since the sale, the style and quality of the workouts have changed to the degree that they are no longer fun or engaging. The music has become monotonous which makes the workout drag on. The online Facebook community has also changed...every post now is scrutinized...people are no longer permitted to honestly share their experiences. It is all very sad. read more

I did the 6 week challenge and felt amazing after! It was 2-3 classes (spin and weights) a week with a meal plan. Staff was super encouraging and friendly during the whole process read more

Bumped up to 5 stars !!!! New location in RB!! Major upgrade! This place holds a special place in my heart! I visited this spot when it first opened over 9 years ago! Crazy! I've seen the changes of location and each one has been a step up from the previous! A good sign that the owner, Cat is doing something right. I love her passion, drive, and positivity! She really cares about her clients and their successes and that's why her business has flourished throughout the years. She has an amazing backstory of how she started her business. Follow your dreams! Truly inspiring woman. Location is just off the 15 Freeway so it's easy access with tons of parking. There's also restaurants and a nail salon if you want to pamper yourself nearby. The studio is on the second floor up a flight of stairs. The interior is open, bright, and inviting. The motivating wall quotes (my favs!) are displayed throughout their studio and even the bathroom stalls! Looooove it! The spin room is spacious and the perfect size to fit in spin bikes, weights, mats, and other equipment (see pics and videos). Everything is well-maintained, sanitized, and clean. The bathroom has showers and cubbies. An added bonus for those that need to go to work after. The workouts may sound like your average strength training,TRX, and spin class but there's something special about the people. Instructors are just as passionate and you can tell they are a supportive community with similar goals. I always feel welcome when I'm here. You won't get much of that at a standard gym. This seems more intimate and they even remember your name and cheer you on in class. How cool is that? Workouts vary, but I have tried the following: Spin Sculpt Fusion - My favs! TRX, Spin, and Strength Spin Core Bootcamp - Cat's class is hardcore !! They also have HIIT and Spin and online classes via OnDemand! You have so many options to workout and have fun at the same time! I take them through ClassPass and just recently bought a package since I enjoy a variety of workouts, but anything that involves spin will be my go to! They have great deals on packages that never expire. Locals also get their first class for FREE. Definitely give them a shot if you are in the area. You'll get hooked! I have only positive things to say about Studio Sweat and highly recommend them to all my family and friends. read more

Excellent training. In less than 4 months, and going just about 20 minutes a week, I got free from my neck pain. Many thanks to Mike Cederoth, for his expert guidance and friendly and ecouranging training. A very complete set of Nautilus machines makes the center very convenient to practice HIT, as explained in the "Body by Science" boik. read more

We are vacation with 7 people and found this great exercise studio. We as a group (including 3 reluctant late teenage boys) went to their Spin/Pilates class. Elli, the director and who taught the class, was amazing. The regulars in the class were very nice and welcomed us noobs to the class. Highly recommend this studio. read more

LOVE SSOD! One of the best things i found from a magazine and saved me during COVID! Love having the convenience to do a ride or workout on my schedule and having my own bike read more

Studio Sweat has a beautiful location with lots of natural light and open doors for fresh air, it truly is a magnificent space to workout! More than that though, this is not just a gym, it's a studio, with heart, and caring trainers who provide stellar workouts with well thought out planning and precision! If you can't make it to the gym they offer online workouts as well, which will rival any other online program for the quality of the workout and variety of classes offered. I'm in the best shape of my life thanks to Studio Sweat, and consider my workouts with these awesome trainers life changing! Thank you to Cat and crew, you are all amazing! read more

Beautiful and clean facility with lots of natural light. I love taking classes here because I feel like I am not in any ways a fitness pro, and I feel like the classes are very accommodating. I don't feel intimidated or ashamed if I can't do something correct, as all the instructors are welcoming. My only thing would be to maybe have more water in the facility as a lot of times the water tank is empty. Otherwise this place is great for anyone trying to get into shape! read more

I went to my first class a few days ago and it was an exhausting workout! **NOTE** You walk into an industrial building and have to walk past basketball/volleyball courts, a taekwondo studio, and a small workout area before you reach Studio SWEAT (all of which are inside the same building.) Their bikes have a monitor to help pace your cadence rather than guessing with the tempo of the song. And the music blasts which adds for a great experience! read more

Such a good work out with Bethany! The actual studio is deep within the establishment. You will pass a martial arts area, then a volleyball area, circuit training area, then you are at Studio SWEAT. I did not even know that such a cool place with all these amenities existed in 4S Ranch! RSVP for any of their classes through their website. We did the Spin Core class which lasted an hour. Your workout concentrates on your speed, MPH. Do bring comfortable shoes. After 45 minutes, we got off our bikes & did a series of core workouts... pretty intense! Then finished off the class back on the bike for one last spin. read more

I have to agree with Holly. The first class is free so you have no excuse to try out Studio Sweat!!! Instructors at Studio Sweat are motivating and classes are challenging- you really do improve every day! I'm always surprised how much energy I get from every class I take. It's not just about losing weight, it's also about getting endurance, strength, and of course it shapes your entire body! Just be sure to bring a big bottle of water, towel, and great attitude- you won't regret!!! read more

Studio SWEAT - Trainers Near Me - San Diego, California

Has a beautiful facility. Classes are so effective and fun. Most of the time spinning but also lots of weights and core training.

This is for the StudioSweat on Demand. I paid for a single download a while back and lost the video when my phone was stolen. They did not have to allow me to download again but they did after I asked. It's very much appreciated and speaks to how they know how to treat a customer. Recommended. read more

This is a family owned and run studio which makes you feel like you are a part of a small community, They are so personable and care about each person that walks in the door. The workouts are consistently challenging with those core exercises that get resuits in every workout, but there is a also always creativity in every class so it feels fresh and fun every time you go. I also love the on demand fitness collection which was such a bright spot during lockdown. Ive been to lots of gyms/studios over the years but this one is a top favorite. ! Love this place And highly recommend you check it out read more

Review is for the instructor and not the studio.. I took couple of classes and my assessment is that some of the instructors are just awesome and others not so great.Bethany is one with huge ego. She only interacts with participants who attends her class on a regular basis. There is no sense of inclusion in her class, you'll be like an alien in already a small class (almost all classes had less than 6 riders). Other instructors Brian, Meredith are great.. I enjoyed Cats class the most, its fun and challenging.. read more

Love the spin classes! They are fun and high energy. I do, however, wish they would leave their opinions of world events at the door. read more

Thanks to Meredith, and Cat for great workouts this week. You make it very challenging and fun at the same time. Everyone leaves smiling and supporting each other. Its a great environment. I would recommend this to anyone. You dont have to feel intimidated by the fit people, and they encourage you to trust your pace. The exercise is hard and low impact. I was never a fan of cycling, but love this. read more

I went today for a spin class, using my Class Pass. I was not very impressed and agree with another poster than the spinning part was SUPER BORING. The facility was pretty cool but the instructor wasn't great. The class wasn't remotely choreographed to the music, her instructions included "stand up, lean back, in the saddle, add gear, dial back gear." There was no rhyme or rhythm to the class - just random instructions. At 2 points, she had us get off our bikes to do some core work on the floor. 5 stations for 5 people including a plank-walk, planks, sit ups, floor bicycles and crunch/pikes with feet in TRXs. That part was fine but also didn't feel very organized. The music and class timing really seemed disorganized as well. And they didn't have a working water cooler. I ran out of water with no way to refill...at a place called Studio Sweat. Humph. Overall, not an impressive experience. I'll be cruising down to Rush Cycle from now on - their classes are full of crazy energy, great music and fun! read more

When I moved from UTC to Rancho Bernardo and had to leave the Sporting Club behind, I was sad! I loved that club --- especially relaxation near the pool, cabanas, access to the massage and facials. It always felt like I was working out then going on vacation. Enough of what I miss, now that I found this new club ... I am living in the present again. No regrets. We're not comparing apples to apples ... okay? This new club is about SWEAT. These spin classes rock! The bikes are the latest and greatest spinning bikes. You can clip in or wear your tennies. The instructors are fantastic, Cat and Meredith. I must qualify that there isn't a shower, jacuzzi, massage, facials, pool ... just a great place to workout! Not only are there awesome spin classes available like Spin Sculpt which will kick your a**. There is Boot Camp and 1/2 Marathon Training. For the ligher hearted, there is Pilates. This club is the answer to my dreams ... no more weight woes. I take spin three times a week. Even signed up for the 1/2 Marathon training. Ayayay. What did I get myself into? They are supportive and motivational. No membership fees or contracts. You pay when you go. Also, I like their system, people who go to class get priority to sign up for the next weeks' class. If you reserved a space, it is saved for you. No worrying about whether there'll be space for you. One last draw, there are some options for your kiddo's. I bring my daughter. She plays in a separate room while I work out. Call Cat and get more info. It's totally worth driving to Studio Sweat from anywhere in San Diego. read more

I just finished up the SpinSculpt class and it was so much fun! It was actually refreshing that there were only 3 people total in the class because we were able to do TRX circuits and it was a lot more easy and fun with less people. We did the first 25 minutes on the bike, riding to music (sprints, hills, flat road). Then for the next 25 minutes we did 3 circuits which consisted of TRX (chest/arms), medicine ball (burpees/planks/crunches) and different variations of squats/jumps/lunges down the AstroTurf. For the last 10 minutes, we were back on the backs doing a hill climb and sprints (once again, to music). We stretched it out for the last few minutes and then we were off! The instructor (heaven forbid, I forgot her name already) was very sweet and gave us plenty of water breaks and made sure that our form was on point. The gym was very clean and I'm curious to come back and see what the classes are like with more people in them. The only reason this review is getting 4 stars and not 5, is because when I initially got there, I wasn't sure where to go. When you first walk in, you basically walk into a hallway. If you go to the left, it's locker rooms, if you go straight it's stairs (which I don't know where they lead to), and if you go to the right, it's a martial arts gym. I stood at what I thought was the front desk for a few minutes. There was a guy behind the desk w/ a laptop and he was on his phone. I thought this was where I was supposed to check in, so I stood there for awhile and he never once glanced up at me. Thankfully, a lady standing next to me asked if I had a question and i told her I was here for a Studio Sweat class and she directed me down the hallway to the correct check in desk. Can't wait to come back tomorrow for the SpinCore class! :) read more

Brooke's TRX cardio class is on par with a crossfit class and excellent for strength. Spin classes are great too. The service here is much better than any other gym in the immediate area. The schedule seems to be getting better in terms of posting all the small workout group, spin classes and TRX on one schedule. The owner is super to work with when you have a unique request or challenge. This gym does not offer the more common studio gym scheduling service (aka mindbodyonline) which has pros and cons. read more

I'm not much of a spinner but have taken a few classes before at different gyms. I thought I'd try Studio Sweat's Spin Sculpt 6AM Saturday class and I'm so glad I did. This hour long class was fantastic! We spent most of the time on the bike, but also did weights & core. Upbeat music, fantastic instructor and wonderful facility. I've never enjoyed spinning this much. Rebecca made sure my bike was set up just right (and even checked in after a coupe of songs). She was motivational, energetic, and provided a great butt kicking workout to some awesome music. The name says it all -- you will SWEAT. Looking forward to my next class. read more

Definitely not an average spin class. The combo classes are awesome and really make for a total body workout! You hit some hard cardio and work all your major muscle groups in a 1 hr class. Love the hour long class. The SS instructors teach a class that packs a punch. The training sessions are also all encompassing and they target your fitness from all directions including schedule and nutrition. I wasn't expecting so much support and education for my fitness and I love it! read more

Best workout! Combines spin with strength training. The instructors are awesome. Great music with intense workouts, just what I needed!

IF WORKING OUT HERE IS WRONG..........THEN I DON"T WANT TO BE RIGHT! What else do you really need to know. Just go! read more

This class gets me pumped. Great spinSculpt - I may try the other classes too. To clarify, I am NOT a spinner and I was intimidated when my friends asked me to go. But I was pleasantly surprised! The cost / flexibility are definitely worth it to me. I was paying $30 a month for frogs fitness but StudioSweat is a lot better. Since the classes are so small it's almost like having a personal trainer. I've taken with Bethany and Cat - love their classes. I still don't consider myself a huge spinner but I do like the fact that I'm working out (and having fun doing it!) read more

Best fitness you can find!!! Unique, effective, passionate, challenging and FUN workouts. I'm an athlete and have gone to every workout class in San Diego. No other fitness place can touch Studio Sweat. No contest. I literally have chosen a house closer to this place so I can access it more. No joke. It's more than fitness. It's community. It's family. Studio Sweat people are some of the best people I have ever met. Miriam Turner read more

Talk about an awesome fitness studio. I relocated to San Diego for a temporary summer position and joined Studio Sweat while I was here. They have some challenging, but really engaging kick a** workouts! If you want to cut the BS and get in shape and have fun while doing it make sure to check this place out. They have a variety of classes which incorporate interval training, boot camps, TRX workouts, and their specialty of unique spin classes. If I didn't have to move I would still be going here, definitely worth a try if you are in the area! read more

I have been attending this gym for years- and it is the only place I will go. It is a boutique gym with very friendly and highly experienced trainers. The workouts are a full body blowout!!! I love the format- integrating both on and off the bike to build muscle. My favorite part, it is never the same workout twice. Great instructors, great people, awesome gym and fun music. I love the challenge and every time I leave I Feel accomplished. read more

These females work you as if you're in the Marine Corp. They are really great! I just love the Spin Sculpt classes. As an online member, I feel as if i go there because they communicate with you as if they know you personally. THEY ARE JUST GREAT!!!! read more

Studio Sweat is life-changing! I hadn't worked out in 6 years and took Cat's Fit Camp. In 4 weeks I was back in tip-top shape, lost 3lbs but more importantly lost 2 inches in my waist! and 3% body fat (18 to 15%). I now attend the "Fit Camp" classes and SpinSculpt (40min of spin and 20 min of weightlifting & core training). See studiosweat.com for more information. I love that I can sign up for a class and pay as I go. Even better - there are only 12 people in each class. The trainers are CERTIFIED and FUN! It's never the "same ol class" - every workout (and song!) is different. This the best non-gym, gym around! Thanks, CAT! read more

The barre studio that I go to recently closed down so I'm trying to look for other studios to go to on my weekends. I signed up for the Spin, Sculpt, and TRX Saturday class and I finally was able to get in after being on the waiting list. I had been meaning to try this class for a while, but it was always so full, even way before you could even sign up on their website. I found out that the people who do show up get priority for the following week. That just sounds a little unfair. I don't like the idea of fighting for the class. When I signed up, there were 11 other people who were on the waiting list. So why can't they just offer the class at more times then? Studio SWEAT shares the same building with a youth jiu jitsu group and a female volleyball team so the facility is a little too big for my liking. It definitely feels like a high school or recreational gymnasium where everyone shares the same space and is shouting so things are just loud in general. I go to a gym near my work in La Jolla during the week and I take the boot camps there. At the most, only ten people can take the class and I like that a lot better because it does feel you get a little more personal attention from the instructor. During my first class, I had no idea on where to go. There wasn't anybody at the front desk, so I walked around and made my way to the back, which was where the class was held. I think the instructor was still trying to set up or get settled in because she didn't talk nor noticed me. I'm just used to having instructors meeting their students and asking if we were new or if we had any injuries. I never took a spin class before, so I was adjusting all the knobs on my bike. Two girls next to me noticed that I was struggling, so they were kindly telling me what to do. I guess the instructor then realized that I was new by this time so she stood by me in case I had additional questions, which I didn't anymore. Since there wasn't anybody there to help me in the beginning, somebody eventually flagged me down at the end of class and made me fill out their waiver form. Anyway, the class was okay. I guess spinning is not for me because it's still a little too boring. Since I do the boot camps at the other gym near my work, I'm familiar with core conditioning and high intensity interval training exercises. The core and sculpting along with the TRX portion was also too repetitive and not interesting enough. Normally, the boot camps would go by really fast for me, but I found myself staring at the clock too many times and it just felt like a long 60 minutes. I probably will give their Small Group Training class a try next. read more

Love you from 350+ miles away!! Being able to workout from home...and actually enjoy it....has saved me!! I was in SD late last summer and I really wanted to pop in and take a live class. Never made it but I will this year, I hope! read more

I've been spinning for about 5 years or so.. and never had trainer/instructors like these. Cat is outstanding and really passionate about her studio. Their spinning classes are not what you get at a regular gym.. your constantly measuring your heart rate and working on core and sculpting your body. I easily burn around 500-750 cals on average with every class. Keep up the good work ladies! read more

I've attempted to work out on my own for years - but until I found Studio Sweat, I didn't realize how ineffective it was. I've loved the boot camp and spinning classes - the pay as you go "punch cards" make it easy to fit into my busy schedule so I can go more often when time permits. I participated in the summer shredder program and lost 9 lbs, 5 inches off my waist and 3.3 percent body fat in 5 WEEKS! I have also stepped up my game from running in 5K races to a half marathon. Currently training in the Studio Sweat half marathon program as well!! Thanks to the trainers and the many friends I've made at the studio, it has improved my life!! Try a class out - you will never regret it!! read more

I can't say enough good things about Studio Sweat. This place has literally changed my life! Just one year ago I was 30 pounds overweight, out of shape and a lifelong expert in avoiding exercise. When my son turned 4 and I still hadn't lost the "baby weight", I had to try something. One year later and I've completed 3 Fit Camps, more spin classes than I could ever count, 2 triathlons and 1 half-marathon! Cat and the instructors are amazing and genuinely care about everyone who comes through the door. Not to mention the support I've received from everyone who participates in the classes. If you want to SWEAT somewhere that focuses on positive energy, encouragement and tough workouts, this is the place for you! read more

I love spinning and wanted to get back into it after having my baby - but I hated waiting in a long line at LA Fitness hoping you'd get a bike even if you got there an hour early to be #20 in line....same for 24 hour fitness. So I decided to try Studio Sweat, even though I was paying a membership at LA Fitness.....and I fell in love with spinning again. Not only are the teachers great but they are super helpful and extremely motivating! Also their playlists are DOPE!!! For me, great music = a great workout. I've tried both the Core and Sculpt classes and both kick my butt and I'm always sore, even up to a few days after. They have classes all throughout the day and even on weekends which fits my busy schedule. Can't wait until I'm done with school so I can join their fit and training camps. I LOVE STUDIO SWEAT! read more

I figured it's time to add to their perfect review! I'm back working out here after 2+ years. Thought I really hated spinning but when I decided to go back, Cat and Bethany really made it easy. I arrived early and got help adjusting my bike. The class was awesome! I would suggest spin/sculpt because you get a kick butt workout! I feel good going at my own pace and working towards getting more comfortable. I'm tired and sweaty but always leave feeling terrific! Here to stay this time around. read more

This is the gym for anyone that feels uncomfortable everywhere else. If you feel intimidated by other gyms, since everyone knows what they are doing and you feel like you are the odd man/ woman out. Warm and supportive with a touch of equality. They show you how to workout. The trainers and community are there with you every step of the way. Before hardcore I never did weight training, their support and direction never made me feel dumb. They show me how to do the workout, supporting my goals. They care about your success and gentle training is great for the person starting on their journey. read more

What makes my experiences so great here Rebecca who teaches the 6:00am Spin and Sculpt classes. I can't say enough about how motivating she truly is and it seems very genuine. Her classes were very face paced with 4 rounds going back and forth from resistance training on the floor doing plyo, using free weights and the TRX. She was great at keeping you on your toes and moving and she is basically kicking ass with you doing the entire class herself while keeping a watchful eye on your form....that is straight impressive. read more
