I thought I had reviewed my awesome experience here but apparently, I forgot to press the button from my phone or something:) I went last week for the first time to a try-out class that I won spinning the lucky wheel (I am super lucky getting freebies!). The promoter explained all the classes offered and I checked my time availability, so decided to take a circuit class centered in legs and chest. Great coach, great attendees, all very smooth. Well-equipped gym, super clean, and amazingly smelling towels offered at the end of the class to get refreshed. I appreciate the opportunity to try this gym out, it feels super personalized, and I will take drop-in classes when visiting a good friend in OB. read more

This is an updated review during covid19. Around mid March 2020, Synergy was doing workouts only via Zoom--and the exercise really helped me during an otherwise dismal time when we were all adjusting to the "new normal." The coaches still kept us accountable--Sofie would still call me out and encourage me. Then around June 2020 we started doing limited indoor workouts (with individual stations in a 10x10 square with your own weights), temperature check upon arrival, masks worn coming in and leaving, only one person in the aisle, etc. Synergy continued to have workouts via Zoom. Then public health orders only allowed outdoor exercise, so we worked out at the park (and coach would bring weights and boombox for music). The park grass was sometimes wet from dew or rain or the sprinklers and was a little inconvenient. In the meantime, owner/coach Sofie created a roof top gym with artificial turf. She installed a spiral staircase that leads up to the roof. Eight separate stations are set up with our own equipment, but now you get a view high up with palm trees, the shops, and a little bit of the ocean (depending on which side you are standing). Each station has sunscreen and hand sanitizer. For a brief time, we had the option of working out indoors "downstairs", outdoors "upstairs", or virtually. As of this writing, only outdoor exercise is permissible so we're on the rooftop. It is a bit chilly on winter days but we're all getting fresh air. And it's great to exercise with Synergy! read more

It's been ~4 months since I joined Synergy... and it's seriously been a dream come true & exactly what I needed. I'm getting some of the BEST workouts of my life in Synergy's Powerhouse classes and have built an incredible amount of muscle and endurance thanks to the enthusiastic coaches & instructors here! AND I've made a ton of new friends along the way, which has been really special for me as someone who recently moved to San Diego! It's super easy to book classes every day using Synergy's mobile app, and you have a ~4hr window to cancel if you need to! THANK YOU Synergy for getting me into the best shape of my lifeeee! Sadly I'm moving out of San Diego next month, and the Synergy classes & community are actually one of the things I'll miss most! read more

Where do I start?! Synergy is 12/10 for me. They have a beautiful, clean, modern gym with incredible coaches and admin. Everyone is welcoming, kind, and very supportive. The workouts are intense and effective. The coaches will walk around and give pointers for form and give you some motivation if you're struggling. All workouts start and end with a yoga stretch. They even have a beautiful rooftop deck where they host workouts and yoga on the weekends! If you're looking for a small, community centric gym that will get you in shape and have you smiling along the way, Synergy is it!! Thank you Synergy180!! I love working out with y'all. read more

Synergy180 - Thankful for a class that murdered three of us - Trainers Near Me - San Diego, California

It's been almost three months since I started Synergy and I couldn't be happier. Never imagine myself working out in a non-traditional gym. I was used to have lots of equipment, spend at least two hours at the gym and was not seeing results. After the combination of a pandemic, injury and surgery, I was so lost and had no idea where to begin with. The gym I was used to go was still closed, but I couldn't wait more so I decided to have a open mind and started researching alternatives and Synergy came highly recommended. I am very happy with the workouts, the amazing energy and awesome staff. 45 minutes workouts with Jasmine, Shai or Sophia are way more effective, fun and sustainable than my previous long and boring exercise routine. I still have a long way to go until I reach my goals, but I couldn't be in a better place to help me all the way! Thank you for everything guys! read more

I have been working out with Shay from Synergy180 now for a while! It's been a great journey so far! She really focuses on my needs and goals. I love how each workout is targeted to my personalised needs and we focus on all the parts of the body, including upper body, lower body and core. Shay is an amazing personal trainer and I would highly recommend her and the gym Synergy180 to everyone. The owner Sofie, and all the staff members are all so wonderful! read more

First thing I did when I arrived in Ocean Beach for a working vacation from the east coast was sign up for a Synergy180 Weekly Unlimited Travelers Pass. The sessions were perfect and my instructor Emma was phenomenal! The classes at Synergy180 have just the right balance of stretching with the Yoga, intensity/cardio with the intervals, and pump! I can't say enough great things about my experience and highly recommend Synergy180 to anyone with a fitness lifestyle, or if you just need to move your body! Kenny Wilmington, Delaware read more

I've been going to synergy for over a month now and I love love the classes, coaches are motivating and helpful. Small community centric kind of studio, which I really like as well. All of the staff is super friendly and welcoming. The classes have really helped me get on track in my fitness journey, especially through the 6 week fitness challenge which has helped motivate me greatly! Sofia provides several types of meal plans with recipes and shopping lists making it super easy to stay on track. read more

I can't say enough about this great little gym! Bought a traveler's pass when I was in San Diego for vacation and really loved it! Everyone was so friendly! The workouts were excellent, coaches helpful and encouraging! I felt very at home! Highly recommend!! read more

Synergy180 - Gym entrance! - Trainers Near Me - San Diego, California

I really love the owner, Sofie! She's got a welcoming and encouraging attitude. I went in for a month special and now I'm motivated to participate in their 7 week HERO challenge. I like the coaches, classes, and music. The people are be supportive and most importantly fun! Also, the aesthetic matches the fun, vibrant people coaching too! In the back there's: Water, face towels, and some basic bathroom essentials too. In addition to their HIIT workouts, I've tried out their yoga. It was super relaxing, and yet i broke a sweat. I'll be trying out their new stretch/mobility class tonight. read more

What can I say, I love Synergy! I started coming here after trying several at home workout programs. As a busy stepmom of 3 and business owner I didn't think I had the time to workout at a gym. After almost a year at Synergy I make the time to go! The 45 minute classes are fun and the time goes by really quick. The coaches and other members are so supportive and I truly look forward to my workouts. Plus, I feel great afterwards! The coaches are always willing to take the time to discuss your fitness and health goals. At one of my first classes at Synergy Coach Sofie had a station set up for doing box jumps. I had never done them before and I literally could not get myself to jump! Sofie was very patient and talked me through it. She never once doubted me. I jumped and I landed! I realize now that it was all a mental block and Sofie helped me to overcome that fear that I had. Sofie has created a beautiful community of individuals who care about their health and wellness and I am truly thankful for my Synergy fam! read more

It's so easy to show up and get your workout in. Music is always a vibe and the energy that everyone brings gets me through, even at 6:45 in the morning for a person who struggles to get up early! read more

Synergy has been a great place to work out and meet new friends. Everyone is so friendly and encouraging. I joined to undo some of the damage done from eating too much comfort food during COVID. Synergy has helped me get back into shape and it feels good to be fit again. read more

I've loved my experience at synergy 180. I've never been confident in an the gym but decided to try the 6 week challenge. The workouts are definitely hard but the coaches definitely help motivated and correct form. I've already lost 7% body fatin the 6 weeks. I'm excited to continue my fitness journey with Synergy 180 read more

Alright, my heart is happy here for a number of reasons. Synergy in the heart of ocean beach has really dialed in there format, teachers, customer service, organization, and cleanliness (post covid). I've been practicing at studios all over for years. With an extensive background in this line of career I've accumulated an undying passion for it and along the years have grown to peculiar preferences and am extremely pleased with my personal experience here. Teachers are all encouraging, and motivating. I can't describe how amazing I feel after every class. Jimmy the coach was my first instructor and truly connected me to the space, Sophie is a contagious high spirited individual that I immediately loved. Jonah is an intelligent coach who also was inspiring. Overall very pleased, impressed, happy, and hooked xoxo read more

My partner and I completed the six week challenge where we attended three times a week and improved our nutrition. By doing this I lost 4% body fat and gained a gym community! Shout out to that style and variety of the workouts as well as the kind and supportive coaches! This truly is a gem in OB read more

I wanted a fitness routine that didn't require me to change what I eat (or drink) but still gave me results and this is exactly what Synergy provided! I've been going to Synergy for over a year and I've never felt stronger. More importantly, emotionally, Synergy provided a purpose and courage I needed to take time for myself. I am a stay-at-home mom with a toddler so I was very skeptical about being able to attend classes, but all the coaches were very accomodating and encouraging! I absolutely love that ALL their classes are also available virtually, on zoom, so you can take a class from anywhere! The coaches are great about providing modifications and even pay attention to you and correct your form virtually! They also have personal training you can add in if you want to work on something specific and meal plans if you are interested. I love that they have mini challenges throughout the year; it keeps me motivated! I'm addicted to Synergy! read more

Your body deserves this. Your EOS fitness membership may only cost what you'd pay for a burger over at Raglan, but you're not going to get the same results. Yes, Indie Yoga is my go-to for a mindful bendy morning, but you're not going to get the same results. You can buy a pair of sneakers and walk up and down Narragansett 100 times, but you're not going to get the same results. What results am I talking about? Strength. Community. Support. STRENGTH 45 minute classes. You can do ANYTHING for 45 minutes. It's over just as the endorphins are flooding through your body so you can leave sweaty, satisfied and accomplished. I'm proud to say my pushups about 8 weeks ago looked a lot more like I was trying to do the caterpillar dance... all wiggly and squiggly. Now, I'm holding planks without my belly button hitting the floor and squatting like it's my second job. Work outs are a combo of HIIT, Weights and Yoga to keep it interesting. Working your way around the gym to different stations keeps your mind focused and your muscles firing. With encouragement from the teachers and your classmates you'll do the few extra squats you wouldn't have done if you were on your own. COMMUNITY It's like Cheers (where everybody knows your name) but with more kettle balls and less Gentleman's Jack. Making friends with the class is easy, we're often grouped up, partnered up or just asking for someone to help peel you off the floor. You won't find that at a regular gym when you're taking selfies with your headphones on. But feel free to squeeze one in on your way out if that's your jam. Since many of the other gym goers live in OB, you're likely to run into them outside of class allowing you to bridge the gap between class and real life. SUPPORT Want to jump start your new fitness routine? Sign up for a 6 week challenge. You'll track your results so you'll be inspired to pass up that slice of pie in favor of a protein shake. Or maybe you won't but at least you'll be back in the gym the next day to work it all off! The only tricky part is there's no "open hours" so you need to make a commitment to hit one of the calendared sessions. read more

I have always hated going to the gym or doing exercise, but Coach Sofia and Noah do a wonderful job of encouraging us while kicking our butts with great music and encouragement. I usually quit different diets and workouts because I don't see results and in the 2.5 weeks I have been going I have lost 10lbs. read more

Synergy180 - Sunset rooftop yoga @ Synergy180 - Trainers Near Me - San Diego, California

I decided to join Synergy back in October 2018 because I wanted to change my fitness levels and have overall better health. I joined by accepting a 6-week challenge that was FREE, if you dropped 20lbs or 5% body fat. Well I ended up loosing 15.7 lbs and 5.7% body fat. I felt so encouraged by all the coaches (Sofia, Gabe, Kate, Noah, and Jasmine) there and never felt like I was just a client. Then I decided to join a 7-week Hero challenge. Every week there was an email sent out with a specific challenge that involved drinking more water, logging in the food I was eating, encouraging a friend to participate in a workout with me, personal year-long goals plan that was submitted to the coaches, and last but not least, 100 daily burpees (OMG that was hard). This challenge not only has made me stronger physically, but it has pushed me to find the deeper reason as to why one should take care of our bodies. I began to notice that every time I posted on social media that I was at the gym or my progress on this challenge, others began to notice and it encouraged them to want to begin eating a bit healthier or exercise a little more. That has been the most rewarding part of joining this challenge. While this challenge started as a means to achieve greater physical strength and have better health, it has been a vehicle to encourage my friends, coworkers, and family to improve their health and fitness. If anyone is reading this long review and wondering, why is this guys talking about physical fitness and change so much? Well, to summarize it, I strongly believe that in order to make a change, it is easier to make a commitment and stick to it when you have a supporting and encouraging community. That is why I go through the doors of synergy every single day. I am a part of a community. There are people that are always ready to encourage and ask how things are going in your life outside of the gym. Because let's face it, we all go through hard days, but it helps when you know you have a community that is ready to support and encourage one another. #synergyst read more

I've been a member for a month now and so far my experience has been nothing but excellent. Synergy's workout sessions are challenging but fun, and afterwards you feel like you really worked hard. They offer different options of workouts so everyone can find a style that works for them. The early morning classes are very convenient for people with busy schedules like myself. Shoutout to the owner Sofia, always so caring and kind. Also wanna mention Jasmine, which is a great coach, always correcting people's form and posture and making sure we are giving our 100% on her classes. I am really glad I found this place and this community where working out is not the torture it used to be for me. read more

Shay is an incredible personal trainer. I was only able to do a handful of sessions with her, but I saw results within that time frame.

This was my first time going to synergy even though I've heard so many good things about it from friends around town. Shay checked me in and let me try a free class for my first time. She was actually the instructor as well and let me tell you she kicked my ass. I really needed it after slacking real hard the past few weeks. Her music was super fun and loud and she was very encouraging even though I thought I was gonna puke the whole time. She even had a cold aromatherapy towel for me at the very end. Even though I didn't sign up for a package I am definitely gonna be coming back. Thank you Shay!! read more

Backstory: In the spring of 2017 I promised myself I was finally going to get into shape. I have never in my life considered myself strong or athletically inclined. But my 30th birthday was looming so I figured, "girl- now or never". I joined another local gym and made a go of it myself for 6 months. I got bored easily working out by myself and started to lose interest. I also always felt uncomfortable and self-conscious trying new exercises alone. Then came Synergy! From the first class I was hooked. There are three main types of classes. Powerhouse (all HIIT), House Blend (mix of yoga and HIIT) and Flow (yoga). They have sessions every hour in the morning and in the afternoon to evening. I have been mainly going to the 5:15 AM Powerhouse and it is great! 45 minutes literally flies by and every single time I feel like it was a great workout. The instructors lay out a "workout of the day", show you how to do everything, then time out your circuits. The music is always poppin and keeps the vibe elevated. The instructors are so encouraging and motivating. They are always there with a helpful tip about form or to suggest a different way to make the exercise more challenging. The group atmosphere makes it fun and since the same people come regularly you make "gym friends". I have learned so much that even on weekends out of town I have a solid knowledge of exercises I can do on my own. I feel much more confident working out now and I am excited to try new things. I have never ever been excited to work out the way I am with Synergy! PS they have a free 5 day pass for newcomers on their website read more

This is your one stop shop to be fitter, happier, and have more time on your hands. This studio is in spirit an extension of its vivacious, uplifting, loving owner, Sophie, who exudes success for everyone and by extension makes it happen. Classes are scheduled at a time that works for nearly everyone, sensible fitness fundamentals are adhered to, and gimmicks are ignored. All you have to do is show up. The pricing system makes it pay and forget about it so you just feel like a part of the club. This is the kind of place that's so good, you secretly don't want it to get too popular for fear you'll lose having one of the best secrets around. Sign up! read more

I've worked for a ton of gyms! This one had a great atmosphere, great workouts and the owners are the kind of small business owners that you just want to support. The gym is located on Newport in OB. There is plentiful parking in a lot just a 1 minute walk from the gym. I love their design, they have fun, are always smiling when I drop by and they support local community businesses. (HUGE win for me in Ocean Beach where local is where it's at if we want to keep this beach town friendly vibe goin!) Their workouts are fun and they have yoga which is always a plus for me since I love the addition of yoga to any workout. I will be in for a class pack and am excited to get started in their community - Come and join me! read more

I don't write reviwes very often, but Synergy definitely deserves a shout out. I love this place! I've been coming here since they opened just over a month ago and it's been an awesome experience so far. Sofia and Tim, the owners, are so warm and welcoming and the passion and dedication they've put into opening this gym really shows. They've already been able to develop a wonderful sense of community in a short time; the members known each other by name and are so supportive and encouraging of one another through the workouts. My favorite class is Power House which is an energizing blend of H.I.I.T and strength training all in 45 minutes. I highly recommend this place to anyone who wants a fun yet challenging workout. Come check it out, you won't regret it! read more

Where to start... FANTASTIC trainers, small classes that ensure personalized attention, fabulous play lists, fun workouts that change daily, enthusiastic caring owners that genuinely care about your health & fitness.. I could go on and on! The classes themselves are a well thought out mix of changing exercises focusing on a different body part each day, and they offer yoga too!! Millie's Wednesday & Thursday night yoga classes are an absolute treat (love her!!) as is the Sunday restoration class. If you're thinking about getting in shape or just getting healthy, I can't recommend Synergy enough! Support small & local. You won't be disappointed. read more

I found out about Synergy through a Facebook ad marketing their 6 week challenge featuring 6 weeks of unlimited work outs, workshops, and a full meal plan with grocery list for each week! It was perfect timing because I hadn't made any moves to get things together in the new year yet. I recruited my husband to join the challenge with me and we've been sticking to the meal plans and work outs with great results! The workouts consist of yoga blends, HIIT, and recovery classes with each day focusing on a different part of the body- Upper body, Core, Legs, and Full Body. Sofie and Tim have been very motivating throughout this process and always encourage you to keep going! The instructors are great as well and always push you to your personal best. I highly recommend going in to try it out, you'll love the atmosphere! A great addition to OB :) P.S.- They have some mats that you can use during the workouts and a water station! read more

We love Synergy! Strongly recommend if you're looking for a gym that will hold you accountable. Coach Sofie is so sweet & truly cares about alll of her clients and their success! The classes are tough but can be tailored to fit anyone, I am definitely a beginner and my husband is more advanced and we both always leave feeling like we got a great workout! read more

I can honestly say that I've never "fallen in love" with any sort of workout space until Synergy! Let go of any preconceived fears or worries you may have about joining a gym because trust me, I have never experienced a more positive, encouraging, organic, or non-judgmental place. Sofie, the owner & sometimes instructor, is so down to earth- it is an infectious energy! The other instructors are fantastic as well. I have tried all of their class variations and have left every single one feeling clear minded, reset, and proud of myself! Highly recommend! Side note: my boyfriend has also attended all classes of which are gender-neutral ohhh ya! read more

I've lived in OB for 10+ years and not gonna lie I've been very intimidated walking by Synergy with its bumping music, loud (but oh so fun) trainers and it's fancy equipment. But after seeing the sign to try a new workout for free I finally did and couldn't be more grateful or proud that I did! Yes it's not easy, but it's go at your own pace, weight and skill level of your own discretion with instruction and direction from their knowledgeable staff. In the neighborhood? Yup. 45-minute but still kick ass?! uh huh. Something you may have never tried before but want to?? DO IT. Such a great uplifting place! read more

We have been going to synergy 180 for the past 66 weeks. We did the six week challenge!

Synergy180 is by far my favorite gym I've been a part of in San Diego. It's welcoming energy makes me feel like I want to be there. The coaches are fantastic and understand the anatomy and physiology of the body, and genuinely care about your health and improvement in the gym. I've been attending 6 times a week and I love that each day focuses on a different muscle group. The gym offers effective and challenging workouts that have allowed me to seriously see positive results and changes in my body and it has been so rewarding. The community at Synergy has totally rocked my world and I feel lucky to be a part of such a great gym. Great coaches, exercises, energy, and attitude-- truly the best gym where I've worked out.
