This review is way overdue…read more I started with Evolve back in November of 2020. I was 5 months postpartum, in a body I didn't recognize nor feel comfortable in, I felt incredibly weak, but I was ready to put in the work to feel better. I searched open gyms in my area and Evolve popped up. After a week trial I knew this was the gym for me. This is a small group weight/strength training gym. There's 12 people in each class maximum. It feels like group personal training classes. No class is the same. I've been going here for two years and not one single class is the same! You are encouraged but not forced or overly pushed. This was what I needed after having a baby as my body was still recovering. Every movement is intentional and proper form is encouraged. This gym will get you feeling strong and capable at meet you where you are at. Bo and Brietta are incredible trainers. They will encourage you as much as you need to be encouraged and have a way of letting you do as much as you are able. Everyone has different limitations and abilities and that is recognized and supported here. They always provide alternate movements when needed. They are both approachable and easy to talk to. I remember talking to Bo about breastfeeding when I was in that phase of my life- can't forget to mention that he encouraged me not to cut calories to keep milk production up, which showed me he wasn't just about weight loss results. Brietta is a peach - kindhearted and has the shape that can motivate any woman to train with her. Another thing I admire about this gym is the people. Every shape, size, age, color. They are all here. Everyone is positive and motivating. I've even made some friends here. So, all that to say, try this place out. You'll meet a new community of people who have similar goals as you. You'll be encouraged to move at your own pace and evolve as your body feels ready. For those mamas with new babies - come! You won't regret it. Oh, one more thing. 15-20lbs down and feel stronger than ever. In case you're into stats. ;)

I started coming to this gym about 6 months ago. I decided to join a friend for an EPIC race and…read moreshe invited me to come train with her on a "Bring your friends and family Saturday". That Saturday I had the best workout of my life! The workout itself was awesome, but what made the whole experience was how welcoming and awesome Coach Bo and all the other gym members were. It was such a fun and relaxed vibe where you can joke around and be serious at the same time. I loved being able to laugh and push myself at the same time. At the end of the workout Bo told me to come back and check it out again to see if I really liked it. The next day. I remember texting my friends that I couldn't get up off the toilet because my legs were jelly. I was for sure coming back! Basically, the rest is history. I joined the team for the EPIC race and we all kicked ass! The whole team was super supportive of each other and really helped motivate each other. Bo was right there the whole time encouraging all the team members and keeping us motivated! Every class is exhilarating and leaves you with the best feeling of accomplishment! Bo gives everyone the one on one attention during class, making sure you're using correct form and getting the most out of your workout and staying safe. The gym added yoga with Coach Darlene. I was super nervous the first time, but she is such a great leader and really helped me feel comfortable! Since the pandemic, Bo has gone into overdrive making sure we are all connected and getting the same great experience we would get in the gym from home. He has twice daily live zoom workouts and has all the workouts available through our group You Tube in case you miss them. He has our app set up with daily workouts you can do in addition or in place of the live workouts. Darlene does yoga zooms twice a week and we also have a wellness zoom available. What more could you ask for?! One of the best decisions I have ever made was joining this amazing gym family!

She proceeded to put me through a few, very simple movements and voila! within 30 minutes my pain was GONE!

I highly recommend Jenn as she has a great feel for the body and is very in tune with the origin of the issue at hand.

Ari was so articulate in her instructions and made this martial art so accessible and easy to understand for myself as well as the adolescents in the class. We were given so many real world scenarios to practice during class, it's been fun having my daughter practice daily for more electronics time. We both are so much more confident than we were before this singular session with Ari! I love that my daughter has the opportunity to learn this art from a strong woman who works in such a way that benefits everyone in our community! Thank you for sharing your inspirational story of how Krav has transformed your life and for sharing your gift with others who benefit from your wisdom and lessons learned!

I want to send a shout out/Recommendation for AriFit Wellness! I highly recommend working with Ari…read moreif you are active or sedentary because she will get everything right and working! I have been working with Ari for over 3 months now. Before, I always felt like every bone, joint, muscle, etc... Was always needing to be cracked, adjusted, massaged,.. Or I'd just always in pain. But since working with Ari, I am able to handle her going deeper into the tissue and deeper into the stretch because now I feel like how my body is supposed to feel at my age. My back doesn't ache, my glutes aren't sore, and I feel like I have so much more movement. I can even twist my body in ways I haven't since I was a kid.

Whether you're an athlete or an ordinary person who wants to be fit, Carl is the ultimate personal…read moretrainer! Recently, I was at the beach with two of my girlfriends enjoying the sunset. We were sitting in those little beach chairs, approx. 2 inches off the sand. They had already taken a walk down the beach and when getting out of their chairs I noticed they had to roll over onto their knees and hold onto the chair in order to stand up. That's the way I used to have to get out of a low sitting chair but these women are at least 10 years younger than I am. A little later when we were getting ready to go home, I heard one of my friends say, "Damn, girl! You just stood right up!!" and I realized she was talking to me. I have been working with Carl on my strength and personal fitness for more than five years and have progressively experienced the ease at which I do many, many everyday activities; like walking up steps with bags of groceries, picking up items off the ground, getting serving bowls off a high shelf while standing on a step-stool, rearranging outside planter pots in the patio, moving 40 pound bags of cat sand, and - standing up from a low seated position without even noticing!!! Several years ago, I realized that I needed to address what happens to a person's strength and basic abilities as they age. I knew that in order to even just maintain what I had, I needed to start working at it. I am ever so grateful to Carl for working with ordinary people like me and keeping us all on the road of health and well-being. I am also aware of the amazing athletes he works with, who I'm sure are as grateful as I am for his intuition and significant expertise. He has managed to not only keep me strong but has (as I'd described earlier) coached me into being so much stronger than ever before. I believe wholeheartedly that he understands what I need; what I can do; and what I will be working toward. Included are photos of me doing a few typical routines. As my physician's records show, I have been able to increase my muscle mass, reduce body fat, stabilize my weight, significantly improve flexibility, and maintain excellent bone density ...just to name a few effects. Yes, I've been consistent and persistent. None of it is "easy." It's actually rather funny how just when the routine begins to feel easy - Carl changes it!! Which is of course, perfect! Whether you're an athlete or someone who simply wants to maintain your optimal health, talk with Carl. If you're serious - he will help you.

I've been training with Carl since November 2018. I started with him since I wasn't making any…read moreprogress with the doctor-prescribed physical therapy for my knee pain. Carl was fantastic with setting me up with a program that challenged me and allowed me to progressively get stronger with each session. He is not your typical personal trainer. He is thorough and passionate about his work and explains not only how to do the exercise but how the specific exercise fits into the bigger picture of the overall program. Carl also offers a simple approach to nutrition. I sent him my typical daily diet (the real way I eat, ice cream and all) and he suggested a few easy and doable ways to improve it (I still get ice cream!) He will hold you accountable and consistently push your performance. He will expand your view of yourself and what you are capable of. I definitely recommend him!

I used to have the most unhealthy relationship with the gym and food. I was so obsessive and couldn't enjoy my life. Lindsay has given my balance and confidence I never thought I would have. I'm so much stronger than I ever thought I could be and I absolutely love going to the gym now and lifting heavy weights, rather than spending hours on end doing mindless cardio, and perpetuating and unhealthy cycle that I was totally stuck in. She's always there for me too, as such a strong support. She provides me with such positive feedback and also really challenges me to push myself to new levels. Seriously, ANYONE would benefit from having Lindsay as a trainer. I like to say she's my "fitness angel". She has honestly changed my life completely and I cannot thank her enough! If you want results, go to Lindsay :)

I love this gym! I'm…read morereviewing on their HIIT Camp style training. I've been with FitMo for about 9 months. Workouts are great, super efficient and invigorating. All the trainers are great each one has a different personality and style of training so it's nice to get the variety. And they all truly care about your personal goals. They give you modifications if you have an injury or when you're feeling like you need to train harder. The owner, Danny, is always looking for feedback so he can cater to his clients schedules and lifestyle, also looks for ways to build a community for us. They make you feel like family. And when you really commit with their nutrition recommendations the results are amazing. The other clients are great. It's nice to see familiar faces and to see people making progress on their goals. I love that they incorporate some alternative classes once a week. I can't wait to try the yoga. The virtual live zoom workouts have allowed me to have some routine/normalcy during this crazy difficult time of world wide viral war. I need someone telling me what to do and how my firm is and to push me harder. FitMo fam definitely does it for me. Thanks guys for keeping it going!

I joined fitness in motion 6 weeks ago and it was one of those decisions that is changing my…read morelife!!!!! I am a 22 year old college student and I wanted to do something to start having a strong and fit body that I loved. I tried many different fitness programs in San Diego, but I had never been completely motivated to follow my coaches suggestions and to not cheat. The day I went in for the info session at Fitness and Motion, the coaches showed me before and after pictures of their clients and I thought "wow! they look amazing... if they can do it, so can I." In 6 weeks I have lost 11.5 lbs, gone from 27.4% body fat to 24% body fat, and lost over 3.5 inches off my waist. I think those numbers speak for themselves. I have a sweet tooth, but the coaches really motivated me to sacrifice sweets and give healthy food a chance, and I surprised myself in being able to do it! What makes their program awesome is how holistic it is, the trainers KNOW that to be healthy you need to workout but also need to eat healthy and sleep. They give you tips on how to not fail, like on what you can order at restaurants, or what snacks are good to have at your desk or purse that will actually aid in your nutrition and weight-loss. I will continue to go to Fitness and Motion because I see the results of their method on a weekly basis. The facilities are super clean, and you do not get that sweaty gym smell that some gyms have. Great music choices for the HIIT workouts. The only drawback for me is that they share bathrooms with the other businesses in the general area, but just bring your flip flops to shower there and you should be good. If you actually join them, I suggest being very open and communicative with the coaches. Tell them what you struggle with (whether it is eating or doing cardio on your own) and they have effective solutions and strategies for your struggles. I personally trained with Aurelie and Stephanie. They have great workouts to tone your abs and waist area. But most importantly, they really care that you get your results and that you get healthy because they care about you. They learn everybody's name and meet with people to establish new goals once the old ones are accomplished. I have no doubt that if I keep working hard and doing what they tell me to do I will get to my goal of body fat percentage very soon. Thank you to Fitness and Motion and the staff for starting me in the beginning of my new lifestyle and for being a such a supportive group of coaches. #FitMo #FitmoFam
