As a marathon runner, I was specifically looking to build strength in my legs and improve my mobility to support my running--and she has been incredible at helping me do exactly that. What really sets her apart is how attentive she is to form. She makes sure every movement is done correctly so you're actually targeting the right muscles and not risking injury. I've learned so much about proper technique, and I can already feel the difference in my runs. She's knowledgeable, encouraging, and truly cares about your progress. I always look forward to our sessions--they're challenging but in the best way. Highly recommend her to anyone looking to get stronger, move better, and see real results!

She creates a supportive environment that encourages growth without ever pushing into strain. What sets her apart is her ability to help you recognize when and how to challenge yourself appropriately, while always listening to what your body needs. Each session feels deeply attuned, as she not only hears but responds to the signals your body is giving. The result is a balanced, empowering experience that leaves you stronger, more aware, and genuinely cared for. I can't recommend her highly enough.

My (now) husband and I were gearing up for our wedding with certain fitness goals. After doing some…read moreresearch, we connected with Andrea and have never looked back. We started off aligning on goals for BMI, strength, physique, nutrition (which I reached ahead of my wedding date thanks to Andrea!). Each training session was custom according to my and my husband's needs and mobility (per the FMS method). As we progressed Andrea tweaked the sessions accordingly, which kept workouts interesting and at the right level of difficulty. Andrea taught us tons about long-term health, nutrition and fitness that I am using in my day-to-day. Turning these habits into a new lifestyle has been the best takeaway from this experience. It was always a dream of mine to work with a personal trainer. And now I can confidently say that the sessions and results with Andrea are just as good as I imagined.

I've been working out with Andrea twice a week for the past eight months, and I can't recommend her…read morehighly enough! I came to her after doing a short stint in CrossFit, where I was struggling with hip pain and unable to keep up with the high volume of squats. My goal was to focus on strength training and building muscle. From day one, Andrea really listened and tailored our sessions to focus on building strength and muscle without aggravating my hip. Andrea is incredibly attentive to form, always making sure I'm moving safely and effectively which is a huge priority for me. I continue to progress in building up my strength and I feel stronger and more confident in my body than I have in years--I've lost body fat, gained muscle, and feel like I'm truly training with intention now. Andrea helped me with nutritional guidance, including dialing in my macros to make sure I'm fueling properly to support muscle growth. She also gives me home workouts so I can stay consistent and keep progressing even on days we're not training together. Andrea balances listening to what I want while also pushing me just the right amount. She is knowledgeable, encouraging, and genuinely invested in her clients' success. I'm so glad I found her!

Updating my review as I just returned for my second retreat with Mel, this time with a friend, and…read moreI'm happy to report it was everything I remembered and more. I'm so glad I went back to continue building on the foundation laid the first time. As a new mom navigating some professional uncertainty, this season of life is presenting very different challenges than the season I was in on my last retreat, and yet, I realized that my thought patterns had reverted to the same trap - a feeling that outside accomplishments dictate my inner value. It's been an incredible shift to feel that intrinsic value back in my body and my heart. Getting to experience the retreat with a close friend was an added benefit, and Mel did a great job tailoring the experience to be transformative for both of us. October 16 2024: This retreat was one of the best things I've done for myself. I was burned out and on a hamster wheel of work, worry, stress repeat. Out of sheer desperation I went online and booked an experience with Mel, knowing little about what was in store for me. Through her pre-session meetings, I got a better sense, but you never really know until you get there. From the moment I set foot on the property, I felt serene and taken care of. Mel is incredible in so many ways: as a host, a curator of experiences tailored to your specific energy and season of life, and a cook of amazing, nutritious meals. Best of all, she hones in on the practical elements of a spiritual transformation that you can take back to "real life" with you so that your shift transcends the amazing but brief time in the desert. It's been two weeks since I returned from the retreat and the impact is lasting. Most profound is the realization that my happiness is not contingent upon doing or achieving anything. This has removed a perfectionist tendency and (perhaps ironically) allowed me to be far more productive with less pressure on myself. When I meditate, I remember the look of the stars in Joshua Tree, and somehow, I'm accessing the same incredible feeling. If you're on the fence about booking this, all I can say is it's worth it.

Working with her has been transformative in the best way. Still a work in progress but she's helping me integrate fitness and wellness into my lifestyle so I can sustain it into the future. Her knowledge and expertise is evident, she corrects my form so I can get the most out of each movement and also do it safely to avoid injuries. I highly recommend Mel to anyone looking to improve their fitness and well-being!

Scott not only helped him gain muscle and lose weight, but also inspired him with a positive, practical approach to nutrition and training. As a former college athlete--and coach--I was impressed enough to start working with Scott myself. Even after years of old injuries, Scott has helped me regain flexibility, improve blood flow, and strengthen areas I thought I'd lost forever. His focus on stretching, joint mobility, and opening up the hips has been life-changing. What sets Scott apart is his positivity. He's encouraging without ever letting you slack, making sure you're doing things the right way--both in the gym and on your own. Even after moving from Encinitas to North Park, I still see him twice a week and follow his daily workouts, because I simply can't imagine training with anyone else. Scott is knowledgeable, motivating, and genuinely invested in his clients' progress. If you're serious about making real changes--whether you're an athlete, preparing for military fitness, or just looking to feel stronger and healthier--Scott is the trainer you want in your corner.

I'm 44 and have been active most of my life, but working with Scott has taken my fitness to a new level.

I don't want to overthink my workouts, and with Scott, I don't have to--he plans everything, corrects my form, and keeps me progressing. All I do is show up and put in the work. If that sounds like your style, I highly recommend training with Scott. You'll definitely see real results. Thanks brotha!

I will preface this review by saying, I currently train at Crunch, and have at least half a dozen…read moregym 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!

Carlsbad kickboxing club is an amazing combat gym in a great location in Carlsbad near the beach…read moreand downtown area. Pros: I have been at this gym for over 3 years and the things that keep me here are the coaches and the consistent people who train here. The coaches are very knowledgeable and experienced in boxing and Muay Thai and spend time to really help any one of all levels. If you're new or experienced, you will be able to get a great workout and practice in, building your skills whether you plan to compete in the ring or learn for self defense. They have a great weight room here that has everything you need to get a great lift in. Free weights range up to 100lb dumbbells and plenty of bars for squats, bench, deadlifts and stationary cardio treadmills and bikes. They have 3 bathrooms as well as a sauna for higher paying members. The staff behind the desk are also very helpful and friendly! Cons: Since I started here at the gym, prices were very reasonable ranging from $120 - $160 depending on if you do a year contract ($120 ish), 6 month contract ($140 ish), or month to month ($160ish). Note that prices may have changed since I've started but if you obviously plan to stay, definitely do the year contract to get the best bang for your buck and plan to come in at least 3 times a week to get your moneys worth. They offer private lessons too but can range from $90-$100 a session depending on if you buy a single session or a bundle. They are amazing ways to learn even more than you would in class but aren't always for everyone. Verdict: This gym is a great boxing and Muay Thai gym with plenty of options for beginners to experienced fighters. Go here if you live nearby!
