She listens to what I want to focus on, what my pain points are and tailors each session to my needs. She's also a stickler for form and safety. Things that I appreciate because they've made me so much more comfortable going to the gym on my own outside of my sessions with her. I now understand equipment and what it does AND - most importantly - how to use it safely. She's also great with nutrition. I told her I loved beer and I wasn't going to give it up. She's helped me find ways to alter my relationship to food so that I can still enjoy things I love BUT make healthier choices. She's realistic, honest and a fantastic cheerleader. You tell her your goals and she helps you get there. In short: She's awesome. Get in touch with her. You won't regret it.

I have done boot camps, gyms, classes before but none of it has really stuck or made me feel comfortable. Working with Teresa has motivated me and made me excited to go work out and feel better. When we first met we talked about my goals and how I want to achieve them. Teresa has walked me through them and given me ideas on how to achieve them or make them attainable. I have lost weight and inches off my body and I have had non-scale wins as well in my day to day life. I highly recommend her for anyone looking for a personal trainer who motivates you, listens to you, and is just an all around great person! Thank you so much Teresa!

Hello beautiful people! Today, I want to share with you an amazing experience…read more I came to San Diego Strength and Wellness at a dire time in my life. I had received the news that I might need knee surgery due to a tear on my ACL and Meniscus. That evening I spoke to my dear friend Ben and he asked me the following " do you want to wait and see what the doctors say? Or do you want to give your knee a fighting chance at recovery through proper physical training? The thought of getting in better shape, not going under the knife and giving my body a chance to heal was too tempting to pass. I said "YES". I then asked " what do I need to do?" and he just said "just trust me Sal". We immediately set up our workout schedule and he asked me to send him photos of everything I was eating throughout my day. Twice a week I did 60 minute personal training sessions and sent him daily photos of my meals until I refined my eating habits. I can honestly say I am not dieting. I eat what I want, when I want. I just crave healthy stuff and that is what I had been chasing for a long time; sustainable healthy eating habits. With this said I want to thank you Ben! First of all, your work ethic is contagious and the foundation to your success. Your gym is clean, not crowded, it has great energy and the team you have created is 2nd to none. Your whole team has eagerness to help and develop the talent that goes in seeking help/guidance on improving both mentally and physically. I can now say that after 3 months of hardwork in and outside the gym, that I am stronger body and mind, healthier, and the fittest I've ever been. Oh and did I mention, NO SURGERY NEEDED!! Started 2022 at 173lbs, got to San Diego Strength and Wellness at 163lbs and after 3 months got down to 148lbs. Slowly losing fat and gaining muscle. Being healthy is not easy and/or quick; it takes time, dedication, persistence, and above all, resilience to adhere to your objective. Thank you all for the support in this journey and for your continued support in my next journey!

Getting a personal trainer at SDSW was a great investment and one of my best decisions I ever made…read more The facility itself is always clean, has lots of great equipment that emphasizes more on functional strength, and great trainers that are legit and knowledgable. I joined because I wanted to prepare for my College Volleyball Season by increasing my athleticism and strength. My trainer Julia really pushed me. Being a former collegiate athlete herself, she knew what it takes to be successful at the next level. Despite only meeting with her twice a week, I have gotten a lot stronger and gained 8lbs of muscle going from 143lbs to 151lbs. She taught me lots of different exercises that help me strengthen my entire body, especially my hips, legs, core, and at the same time increasing my overall flexibility and mobility all of which have translated on the volleyball court. I don't think I ever been pushed more physically and mentally any where else. Look no further this is the best gym in SD. Highly recommend.

Elizabeth is nothing short of one AMAZING trainer! We were so fortunate to be recommended to her at…read morea time we needed her most-- with most commercial gyms and our apartment gym as well being modified or closed and really unable to truly feel safe working out in, we were desperately looking for a way to get back into a regular workout routine and get this extra COVID emotional eating off !Lol. And Elizabeth was beyond the answer and more! Not only is she able to provide a clean and safe environment to workout in but at the same time specialized and tailored workouts for me and my boyfriend. So that we could workout together but simultaneously achieve our individual and very different needs/goals all within the same workout -- the girl is magic! Don't get me wrong you may be cursing her name or throwing some mean eye rolls (May have done that a time or two! Lol) while you're doing her challenging workouts, because let's be real she's not letting me off as easy as I usually let myself offlol! but in the end there's NO DOUBT you'll be absolutely loving her and the results she's able to provide you!! And isn't that what you want in a trainer-- someone who will push you SAFELY to your highest potential all while shes teaching you how to ensure you maintain proper form and listen to your bodies cues on how or if to move forward. I can't say enough great things about Elizabeth --she provides it ALL-- great comfortable engaging FUN one on one EXPERT training -- constant help working towards perfection on form (one of my favs!) to avoid injury -- and undeniable RESULTS!! She's the REAL DEAL, trust me you won't regret the choice you made to choose her as your trainer one bit!!

I'm probably one of the laziest people I know, but when Nicole tells me 3 more or we'll be doing 7 of these or 10 of those, somehow I get it done.

I've been paying $460 a month for 12 months. I thoroughly enjoyed my workouts and believed to have…read morea great relationship with Nicole. As I approached January this year, I articulated that I was in the process of growing my family. As most women know, when there are challenges here and medical demands, timing is not always on our side- especially for those that like to plan in advance. I told Nicole that I needed to pause for a month due to medical and would love to regroup once that process is complete. This medical journey could be 1 month +. Instead of supporting a long term client, she charged me anyway, offering make up classes in the future. When I asked her for flexibility to hold payment from this contract given my medical situation, she said she doesn't give "handouts" and "it's in the contract", zero empathy, zero situational awareness, zero understanding of women who are exploring Fertility journeys. This would be different if I wasn't a year long client, always showing up excited to be there. As I go to my make up session that (she had to reschedule herself because of her own schedule challenges), she disputes my concerns, says I'm ridiculous & taking advantage of her, that this partnership is clearly not working, and swiftly walks out of the gym before our session even starts. It was almost planned. Her level of professionalism does not hold when she thinks she's right, and you are wrong. This was the worst display of leadership in SMB I've seen in a long time. Instead of working with me to hold payment, and continue when my medical journey is green again, she takes the money for one month and runs, with an opportunity loss of $460 x 8 for the remainder of the annual year (3600+). Having worked with contracts for 20 years myself and being the daughter of an SMB owner, there is always flexibility when the client matters. How quickly she was willing to drop a client, was concerning. To abruptly leave a gym without closing up and locking facility was inappropriate. Everyone has bad days, but you never burn bridges in business. It doesn't matter if you're a trainer or an executive, professional conflict resolution should always be at the top of your list, even if you have a contract. Long term, your brand is always held on how you treat people. *Nicole proceeded to send me canned emails saying she wishes me the best, highlighting the credits, while gaslighting the situation and insinuating it would be comfortable for a client to return in that environment, which it is not.

I cannot say enough amazing things about Lindsey and Underground Fitness as a whole. She has…read morecreated an environment that is welcoming, uplifting, and incredibly supportive. Shes built such a positive culture where people cheer each other on, celebrate wins (big and small), and genuinely want to see each other succeed. It feels like a community, not just a gym. Working with her has been one of the best decisions I've ever made for myself. She has pushed me in ways I didn't know I needed, but always with compassion, encouragement, and deep understanding. She pays attention to form, mindset, and personal goals. My confidence has grown so much over the past year. I feel stronger, more capable and doubt myself far less then I did before in many ways. If you're looking for a trainer who truly cares, knows her stuff, and a gym that feels fun and motivating then you found it. Highly, highly recommend!

I don't even know where to begin with Lindsey and her amazing gym. Lindsey has established a truly…read moresupportive, kind and encouraging environment. She will push you harder than you have ever been pushed and she believes in you even when you don't believe in yourself. If you are looking for a personal trainer, I cannot recommend her enough. Whether you have been working out for years or you are new, she welcomes all with open arms. She focuses on each individuals goals and caters your training with your specific goal in mind. I began in July and Lindsey and the community in this gym have truly changed my life and pushed me to be more confident in my skin, believe in myself more and have taught me that I am so much stronger and capable than I think I am. She creates long lasting healthy habits that are realistic. She truly cares so much about the people that enter her gym and you become apart of the Underground Fitness family. I'm so happy I found this community. I couldn't recommend a better gym to start your personal training journey!!!

I started on Zepbound in December 2024 and a year later had achieved some success with it, having…read morelost 30 pounds. However, it seemed I was on a plateau when I learned about Kari's GLP-1 Strong program. While prescribed by my PCP, I had always felt there wasn't much structure other than take this every week and watch the pounds melt away. While this is all good, I wanted a plan to progress more quickly and to utilize once off the medication. I cannot say enough good things about this 12-week program and Kari's knowledge on fitness and nutrition. Kari customizes her plans for each individual and focuses on accountability, consistency, and behaviors to focus on. I am an additional 12 pounds down and have gained the strength and confidence to finish my journey, including after stopping the jab. I will most likely sign up again during this transition.

I started working with Kari in December 2022, originally to lose weight for my wedding. I was…read morefeeling stuck, out of shape, and unsure how to actually get results without burning out. Spoiler alert: this wasn't just a wedding prep plan, it turned into a total lifestyle shift. The first year wasn't perfect (life happens...hello, wine nights and takeout!), but Kari never judged or gave up on me. Instead, she helped me reset, get real about my goals, and build habits that actually worked. By my wedding in June 2024, I was down 40 lbs and 10% body fat and I felt strong, confident, and truly proud of how I looked and felt walking down the aisle. Since then, we've shifted to strength, mindset, and maintenance and let me tell you, that's been just as empowering. I've learned how to stay consistent, lift heavier, eat more without guilt, and care about so much more than just the scale. Working with Kari isn't just about macros and workouts (though those are dialed in); it's about learning how to show up for yourself even when life gets messy. I cannot recommend her enough if you're ready for change that actually lasts.
