I've been going to Switch a little over 2 months now. I'm a complete beginner, overweight, almost…read more40, and had absolutely no experience in any type of MMA, team sports, or group exercise, so if I can do it, you can too. Switch offers a wide variety of classes. They have a gym on one side with strength and conditioning classes, and MMA and boxing classes on the other, they sell gear, the bathrooms are clean, the music is great, plenty of parking, and I think they have a shower. The classes are consistent and run throughout the early morning into the evening, which makes it easy to find something that fits your schedule. The best part of all is the people, the coaches and the students. You really do run into every type of person there, and everyone is welcome. I genuinely feel that. You just have to show up with respect and a little dedication. I've had the pleasure of learning from Coach Marvin, Coach Andre, and Coach Rob, who owns the gym, he is definitely doing something right. They all have so much to offer. The 7am Muay Thai Coach, Coach Marvin has an incredible eye for detail and can explain or show technique in different ways depending on what clicks for you. He doesn't just explain how to do something, he explains why, which shows how deep his knowledge really is. He also has thoughtful things to say beyond technique and understands that everyone comes in for different reasons, which makes his perspective really valuable. Rob and Andre have also coached early morning Muay Thai, and they're both extremely talented and give you personal pointers. It's cool getting a mix of styles, but what stands out is that they all build off each other's teaching and give each other credit. There's a lot of respect there. All 3 make it fun and motivating. It's a perfect balance of work, discipline, and even humor. You walk out feeling accomplished and better than when you walked in. The environment stays positive. I haven't met one rude person. Everyone has been cool, understanding that I'm new, and willing to offer support or advice. Watching the more experienced students drill together gives you something to work toward. At first there may be disomfort like youre slowing people down but everyone starts somewhere. Many great things in life take the most effort. They offer free trials, what do you have to lose?

I was charged 80 for a private and 25 for a day pass when I thought I was going to be spending like 200 bucks total. I was very happy and content with the training. I felt welcome in the classes I took. I always learn a couple things when I go out of town and train at different gyms. Some coaches are kickers, some are punchers and others really enjoy the elbows when training Muay thai. It's good to be balanced all around and I'll be coming back tomorrow and probably each day I'm in town.When I looked at who the head coach was I was surprised. I used to watch Bellator and Pride Fighting all the time back in the day before the UFC took over all of tv. These guys are the real deal and are professional. Thanks again coaches I appreciate it.

There are four big pine trees with separate retaining walls around three of them for owners to sit down. With it being so close to the bay, there's often a nice breeze that goes through the park. There's no divide between small dogs and big dogs, so it's best to just keep an eye on your dog, and many owners around here are usually respectful. The street parking immediately adjacent to the park is free, however, it has a limit of 30 minutes, and the parking meter workers are strict on it if they're around. I bring my dog here around lunch time because those who live/ work in the area tend to bring their dogs during their break time and my dog gets his socialization time. They close 8am-11am MWF for maintenance/ cleaning. Currently, both gates are broken so it's not as secure as it should be, and who knows when the city will actually fix it. There're a few agility structures and a water dispenser. The children's park itself looks pretty cool for kids with a lot of structures with slides and swings. There's also another separate area with fixed exercise equipment that looks well- maintained. The water feature in the park is a water feature, not a pool.

After entering the main entrance, follow the road and turn right where you will see a yellow locked gate. This is the beginning of the paved walking trail. There's plenty of parking at the main entrance, and the paved trail is perfect for walkers, runners, bikers, and even kids tagging along. It's basically a choose-your-own-adventure: bird watching, fishing (permit required), or just a casual picnic. Bonus perks: lots of porta potties and benches when you need a breather. If you're holding out for a real restroom, there's one just past the second baseball field--plan accordingly. Photo is attached to show where to locate this. Heads up: the main gate is closed every 2nd Tuesday of the month, but don't panic--you can still access the trail through the neighborhood entrance off Baltimore Drive. Hope you enjoy this walking trail as much as I do.

Bench for a picnic. Be careful it maybe too hot out!

I'll start with I'm a 45+ year old And I'm not a boxer. But Bomber Swuad was the only place i could find open to get a workout in and burn some energy with my two young boys during the pandemic. They are now back in their regular sports, but I'm still here! I have been taking classes at Bomber Squad for 1 1/2 years and I love it!! I won't be getting in a ring... ever and use the classes as a way to help stay in shape. But I may have a pretty nice jab thanks to Coach Tez. All of the Coaches are knowledgeable, professional and friendly. If your goal is to get in the ring this is the place to be. Or if you have no desire to get in the ring but are looking for a great workout, this is still your place. The energy is great and the staff is amazing. Speak to Silvina at the front, she's super friendly and helpful!! read more

I am from New York and was visiting San Diego. I found Bomber Squad Boxing Academy on Instagram and I sent an email asking them if I could come in and train. They got back to me immediately and told me to come in for class whenever it worked for me. The owner and receptionist were great!! They were so nice, made me feel welcome, and I was able to take 2 awesome classes with AMAZING instructors!! Boxing conditioning with Ann aka "the Mitt Queen," and Muay Thai with Erik. Both trainers were professional and made me feel like I was a member there. This is the place to train if you are serious about boxing and Muay Thai in San Diego!

When I need my boxing needs fulfilled I go to the Mitt Queen. She knows how to hold Mitts for dayzzzzzzzzze. This is a friendly and approachable environment. Staff greet you with a hello and help you with whatever questions you have. I have been with the Mitt queen for approximately 5 years. She works with untrained to highly trained individuals. The MittQueen is personable with everyone she meets. Her energy is contagious. You want to do the work. She never gives up on you. Although I might have hid out during the pandemic she welcomed me back and continues to encourage me to be a better version of myself. Can't wait to train with the MittQueen again. read more

The best boxing gym I've been to in San Diego! I did a group workout Wednesday night with the Mitt Queen and man did she kick my butt. My palms were sweaty from the start. Knees were weak and my arms were heavy by the halfway point of the workout. Almost had to vomit on my sweater at the end but it was probably because of the spaghetti I had earlier that day. Overall 10/10 workout I signed up immediately the next day. Thank you Ann! read more

I had been looking for Spartan prep classes and had heard all over Facebook groups that this NXPT…read moreis the place to go for this type of training classes. It's a little far from me in the South Bay but I knew I had to try it. For parking, the lot is shared with other businesses so when I got there, it was full and parked in the lot down the street. I wouldn't suggest to park in front of the NXPT if it's the games classes since we're using wall balls near cars. When I found the class on classpass for Wednesday night, the name of it was a little confusing because it said "OCR/Games/Hyrox/Deka" so I didn't really know what that meant until I showed up to the class to learn that depending on when the next event is, that is the type of training they're doing. So my class focused on the Hyrox because the Anaheim event is in five weeks. Hannibal is the trainer and he was friendly with a quick introduction and had to jump on a call before class started. I asked around to sign the waiver and got someone to help me. I wanted to make sure that didn't slow me down starting the class on time. Thankfully I do strength training and hot yoga outside of this class so I felt I could keep up but having been to new classes before, they seem to take care of newbies with just a few more instructions. I ended up figuring it out and maybe the style of this gym is no hand holding but I ended up asking other attendees in the class about the structure. Most of the moves in this class were standard but when it came to Sled, I wasn't sure in my form. I'd suggest when they get newbies in these games classes to ask them if they've done anything like this before and if not, show them the proper technique of the moves. That helps in the actual events since form matters and also prevents injuries. Overall, it was a good experience and I'll be back!
