In all honesty, I only went to Body20 Carlsbad because of a Facebook ad I saw in Feb 2025. The…read morelocation is close to my office, and the demo was free, so I decided to see what all the hype was about. At the time, they had you wear a thin, yoga‑style base layer under an EMS suit. The idea is that the electrical stimulation fires more muscle fibers than traditional training, giving you a full‑body, low‑impact workout in about 20 minutes. Honestly, I thought it sounded like a gimmick until I tried it. I was 62 years old, about 30 pounds overweight, and still dealing with lingering issues from long COVID. I was tired, out of shape, and just sick of feeling sick and tired. After the 20‑minute demo, I checked my Garmin and realized I'd burned more calories than I would have on a 1‑hour walk at 3 mph, which was difficult, and I definitely felt it. Before the demo, the trainer, Mandy, asked about my health history, including my joints and back issues, which I really appreciated. Afterward, they walked me through the process, answered my questions honestly, and let me share my feedback. Yes, the pricing was higher than I expected, but then I realized this wasn't just a "class"; it was 1‑on‑1 personal training with a high‑tech EMS suit that only takes 20 minutes of my time. As a busy executive, that value resonated with me, so I signed up for 1 month, twice a week (8 sessions). By my 6th session, they bumped up the intensity, and the differences were noticeable. The trainers, Nick, Corey, Mandy, and Mo, were all patient and knowledgeable, and they tailored the instruction to my level. Once I started going regularly, I built momentum and even started walking more. By the end of that first month, I'd lost a few pounds, felt stronger, and could walk a full mile without getting winded. In the summer of 2025, they rolled out new dry-suit technology that fixed all the earlier "wet suit" quirks we sometimes had. No more damp layers or glitch‑prone sleeves. Special shout‑out to Brandon and Pauly for keeping the Carlsbad crew strong after some of the original trainers moved to new locations. Once I got used to the dry suit, I loved the results so much I bought my own. Unless being sore the next day from a 20‑minute session counts as a downside, it's been a win‑win. Between the inBody body‑comp scans and my Garmin Fenix 7, I'm also seeing around a 20% increase in heart-rate zones and calories burned compared to the suit they used to wet down. After seeing real, measurable progress, I prepaid for all of 2026 and now go 3x a week with unlimited sessions. In about 10 months, I've lost 25 pounds of fat, gained over 6 pounds of muscle, dropped two pant sizes, now regularly walk 3 miles, and was even able to do a 1/2-mile jog, something that would've been impossible a year ago. I feel healthier and stronger than I have since my 30s. If you're on the fence about Body20, my advice is simple: try the demo. It's quick, low‑impact, and data‑backed (yes, I'm a geek), not just marketing talk. At 63 years old, I'm lighter and stronger than I've been in decades, and that's not something I ever expected to say about myself.

This is truly a special, special place that has changed my life for the better…read more I've been part of this fitness community for nearly 2 years now - I tried it on a Groupon whim, and it's become such an integral part of my wellness that I can't imagine ever going back to one of the soulless chain gyms. The amount of support that I receive from coaches and fellow athletes alike is something I wouldn't have believed existed, or known that I needed, until I experienced it firsthand. Instead of standing in line for equipment, we share and make sure everyone is taken care of. Instead of awkward silence in common areas, there is laughter and camaraderie. Instead of putting in my hour of exercise and clocking out for the day, there is constant motivation and support to better my health through nutrition challenges & resources. Everyone is cheered and celebrated equally - from the chubby girl in her first class doing the most scaled versions imaginable (that was me!) to the mutant superstar doing 48" box jumps and handstand push-ups like they're nothing (still not me, but maybe someday?). People in all walks of life and in all stages of fitness are welcomed into the fold. This community support is the foundation on which all of my accomplishments and improvements have been built. I can't say enough great things about the owners and coaches. This special place is clearly a product of their passion for helping people be their best selves. The class sizes are never too large for the coach to give everyone personal attention and instruction on the technical movements. Even with someone as uncoordinated as myself who needs things explained to them every time like it's my first time, they're patient and generous with their attention and help. With their help, I've done so many things I'd never imagined myself doing (HSPU and rope climbs? Ahhh!). In FLxR's walls, I have celebrated many many firsts and PRs. I feel stronger and more confident in my body's abilities than I've ever felt in my life. I've gone from dreading WOD every day to wanting, or rather NEEDING it (it's better than therapy). I'm no longer obese, no longer pre-diabetic, am completely anti-depressant free and thriving... I can't wait to see where I am in another year! I highly recommend FLxR to anyone looking to become a better, healthier version of you. Whether you're just starting down that road and looking for a judgment-free zone to start in, or you're already bad-ass and looking to improve your next open scores to the top 1%... or anywhere in between, I think there is no better place to do it. ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~~~~~~~~~ My original Review, from 2017: I drank the kool aid. I joined the cult. I fell in love with cross fit. Today is the last day of my one-month groupon and I am signing on to be a regular member. The first week was scary and intimidating. I came in overweight, NOT in shape, and terrified of all the scary looking equipment and giant weights. But the awesome coaches and friendly classmates helped me through it. No one ever made me feel silly for having to use the training bar with no weights on it while the gal next to me is lifting a bar bigger than she is. And i didn't receive an ounce less of encouragement. Every workout i survived felt like an accomplishment, boosting my self-esteem and desire to come back. The second week was hard and reluctant. I was tired and sore. There were days I took the 'just get yourself here' very literally and told myself I'd just show up and half-ass it - but of course the motivation in the air is so infectious, it's impossible to not give it your all once you're there. By the third week, it had become a staple in my day. There are days when I'm excited and can't wait for the class, and there are other days I come in tired/stressed/sore/depressed/hungover dragging myself in and whining through the warmup, but every time I leave at the end of the class i feel like a rockstar and have no pain, am full of energy, and with a big smile on my face. And the times when a trainer notices my progress and comments on it, it sends my mood soaring even higher. In the month I've been coming (5 days a week), I've lost 13lbs and one pants size. my body feels firmer. i can see muscle definition peeking out from under the receding fat. but forget all of that (yeah that's the reason i initially signed up, but now it's only a happy side effect) now i'm more excited that I'm finally off the training bar and onto the big girl bar and adding weights to it. That i'm able to finish the workouts. That i'm already down-scaling considerably less than I was a month ago. These accomplishments make me feel better about myself. I feel stronger and more powerful... I feel confident and motivated. I feel happier and healthier. I feel good. All of these factors together have contributed to me making more progress than I'd imagined was possible in only one month.
