I dropped in at CrossFit Coronado for a QF workout and had a great experience! Kimberly coordinated everything and made it super easy from start to finish. She was quick to respond, and the members there were really welcoming and supportive. The space was great too, and everything ran smoothly. I'll definitely be back next time I'm in the area!! read more

Love the motivational coaching. The best place in San Diego for every skill level! The members are all so fit and funny and super kind and very competitive. read more

My partner and I have been temporarily in Coronado since quarantine attending this highly convenient location upon discovering it. Clint and Kim, the owners, are incredibly welcoming, friendly, and knowledgeable about all things Crossfit (and he is a certified physical therapist if you need expertise in that area). Throughout the recent re-opening of CA, I've been impressed by the incredible lengths they've taken to keep the facility spotless and heavily sanitized which was a top priority for me. I've felt very safe and taken care of here, starting with the 6x6 ft taped "stations" for each member. Everybody is required to disinfect their barbells, equipment, etc. after use, and everybody is mindful of keeping distance. I also really appreciated the slow ramp-up period (attentiveness to injury-prevention) Clint implemented since many of us were SO out of shape and certainly hadn't been snatching anytime since February. The community of people who go here are diverse and extremely enthusiastic about being part of this box. Teachers pay a lot of attention to form and are very engaged with the members. Love that the class sizes are small and intimate. Even better, the box is in an alleyway with huge garage-like doors that open floor to ceiling, allowing for a ton of fresh air and light. I never get too hot inside which is nice. I've only been attending for a short period of time but I can't say enough great things about this small local business. read more

Friendly, welcoming, supportive, challenging and fun! Great music, great workout, great warmup, super Awesome communication from Kim to make sure I showed up! read more

A highlight of my vacation! I spent a few days out on the island for a convention for my big sister. On the day my schedule aligned, I dropped in for a workout. The staff responded promptly to my email request to drop in a few days in advance and I headed on over one morning. I took a cab from Hotel Del (though had I realized that it wasn't too far away I would have walked) and I strolled on it. Clint was in the middle of a private session but when he had the chance took the time out to say hey and set me up. As people started to arrive they were so friendly, I knew I'd be a-ok. (Special thanks to Dave!) On a tshirt scale, this box is a Medium. Two bay doors worth (wide open for lots of air and light) and they have an extra room for bikes and rowers. I liked the layout and they had plenty of equipment for a good sized class (12+ or so?). I learned a new trick during warm up to take back to my box, and it was a great workout. I felt like I'd worked out there on the regular; our coach (Kim?) seemed to know intuitively the magic sweet spot of where I'd be working pretty damn hard, but within my boundaries of skill and safety. That's exactly what you want in a trainer! I really dug the vibe, it fit my exact idea of what a CrossFit by the beach should be. Thanks for the hospitality! read more

Crossfit Coronado - Interval Training Gyms Near Me - Coronado, California

Want to find out how hard you can really push yourself? Then come here! It's kind of a love/hate relationship but once you "drink the koolaid" you're pretty much addicted. I've never sweat so much, been so sore, or so winded in my life! My first couple times there, I kept thinking, "This is what those people on The Biggest Loser must feel like!" I'm in my second month and I feel myself starting to get stronger and healthier - it's a great feeling! The trainers are wonderful - very personable, professional, and caring. One piece of advice: either show up really in shape or really humble. (I was the latter). read more

I can't give a full report of this establishment because I don't work out here myself, but I do want to thank Clint and Kim (I really hope I got those names right!) for what they have done for my son. This crossfit has an afternoon teen work out that my son has been going to for a year now. A little history... My son is special needs. Asperger's syndrome and bipolar disorder. He has tried a few sports and activities in the past, but nothing seemed to work. He would get left behind or angry or...both! He would either quit or be asked to leave. He was physically unfit and immature. And then we discovered Crossfit. For the first time ever my son is having fun working out and being pushed. The staff seems to really understand him and how to get him outside his comfort zone. He leaves the gym both sweat drenched and smiling. I can't ask for anything more. I will end with two stories. The first happened a few months ago. I live on the first floor of an apartment building. I told my son he needed to climb the fence that borders our balcony. I wasn't sure if he could do it. He JUMPED over it! I was shocked beyond words. He shrugged and said "Crossfit". The second was when my son got "injured" at Crossfit. He's always been a bit of a hypochondriac. That tendency finally reared its head at Crossfit. The staff was very proactive in taking care of him and stopped his workout as soon as there was any threat of injury. They contacted me and were diligent in making sure everything was fine. Honestly they went well beyond what I would have expected from a gym. I don't give yelp reviews often. This Crossfit gym has earned this five star review. I can't recommend it high enough. Again...thank you Clint and Kim! read more

My hubby and I came down for the 4th and wanted to WOD at the box our friends go to. The gym was easy to find and conveniently located behind a health food store. We met the owners, Clint and Kim, and liked them right away. They were super nice and friendly even though they knew we were only there for a day. The facility was great! Lots of pull up bars, equipment and great smiling faces. Everyone was very friendly and not at all intimidating. We had a great time doing the WOD and got a great and safe workout. After the workout, Clint coached me on bar muscle ups during a BBQ the gym was hosting. He was super knowledgeable and helpful! You can tell he and the other coaches are very passionate about what they do. If I lived on Coronado, I would most definitely be a Crossfit Coronado member!! Run, don't walk, and sign up asap!! read more

I have been in the CrossFIt world since 2010 and this box is a fantastic example of what CF is supposed to look like. The coaches are attentive and kind. The entire atmosphere is positive and friendly. I can't recommend checking this place out enough. And they even have a kids area for busy parents to get their workout in with some child care provided! Amazing stuff :) read more

Great gym ! my wife an i were in coronado for the holidays and did personal training with clint russell. he is a real expert and task master. we improved our fitness and technique. his expertise in cross fit and physical therapy is unmatched. The gym supports all fitness levels as we saw some real experts performing at an incredible level. This gym is perfect for all levels of fitness with assistance to take your fitness to the next level. we fully endorse crossfit Coronado ! read more

Have to say again what an amazing CrossFit gym this is! Had my first PT today and Clint made such an improvement I. My upper body mobility in one session. Thank you so much! read more

I joined Cross Fit Coronado a couple weeks ago. Not only am I feeling tighter around the edges, but I'm learning a lot of great exercises that are important to know! I love how there are different workouts every day that I wouldn't normally do at the gym by myself. All the trainers that I have met so far seem like they are very well trained and very helpful. I've seen them cater to people that look like they lift professionally to people that are just beginners. I would definitely recommend to anyone that is thinking about it but hasn't yet committed. read more

For starters this isn't to bash the gym itself more so the policy. I started with the gym some months back and after about a week and a half I had some others things come up which caused me to not have the time to come to the gym anymore. I was aware that I signed a contract but I thought they would work with me a little and settle for X amount especially after me explaining why I wasn't able to come to the gym anymore. Other than that I liked the classes and the trainers are quite helpful. read more

I was in town for 2 weeks and signed up for their two week pass. I highly recommend checking out Clint's gym. Clint and staff were extremely knowledgeable. It's very helpful to have a PT making sure your form is correct. If you live in the area or just visiting, this is a great place to workout. Great staff and the members are awesome as well. Thanks for the butt kicking the last 2 weeks Clint! read more

CrossFit Coronado is not just another place to do CrossFit. Steve, the owner and lead trainer, is one of the most sincere people you will ever meet. He invests time in every member early on, teaching him or her the fine details of every movement to maximize their performance and prevent injuries. Steve demands perfection, and has successfully created an environment where everyone strives to achieve it. The environment at CrossFit Coronado is the best work out environment you could ask for. It is quite literally a family. Everyone there is supportive of everyone else, and the group style workouts make everyone involved push themselves harder than they would have otherwise done. Members of CrossFit Coronado also get together outside of the gym for social events that prove that old cliché: if you work hard, you can drink a lot of beer with your friends and not feel bad about it. CrossFit Coronado literally changed my life; join, and it can change yours too. read more

Great Crossfit gym! Friendly athletes and a wonderful coach/owner (Clint). I dropped in from Houston while visiting the Hotel Del Coronado. This gym was only a mile from the hotel. The program/workout for the day was very well thought out, and Clint made sure that everyone's form was perfect. The gym was clean and tidy--really couldn't ask for a better experience. read more

I checked out other boxes in the area and none of them stood out except this one. I automatically felt welcome when I went in. Kim and Clint were very friendly. Clint is very knowledgeable and points out errors followed by corrections that can help you: prevent injury, push more weight and become a more efficient athlete. Clint and Kim are honest, constructive and down to earth. I have seen bigger box's but this one makes up for size by having top notch trainers and members. Plus, they have everything you could need: ropes for climbing, pull up bars, rings, different weighted barbells, KB's, the list goes on. read more

Great gym to seriously get into shape and build core strength. Intense but safe work outs. Trainers do it right: I had to complete three mandatory Basic Movement classes, 1:1 with a trainer before I could participate in my first WOD. I had a chronically bad back and hip and in just 2 months both are a non issue. I have been able to work at my own pace (weight/intensity) with just the right amount of pushing and support by the trainers and group to make some strong gains. Great group of friendly and helpful people. Thanks, CFC! read more

Dropped in here while my husband and I were in town for a few days and had a great time! Everyone was super friendly, and the coaches were very attentive and encouraging. Definitely recommend this box for anyone looking to do some CrossFit in San Diego! read more

I did a drop in for two weeks while I was in San Diego for work. I've been to a few other Crossfit affiliates in San Diego and I think I enjoyed this one the most. Clint is a very knowledgeable and easy going guy. He gave me a good deal for the 2 week drop-in. I will definitely come here again when I am back in San Diego. Thanks for making me feel welcome and thanks for the shirts. If you are ever in Northern California make sure to visit my gym Crossfit Milpitas. read more

What a wonderful place and group to push your limits with. I have experimented with all kinds of classes over my adult life and found I love hard core exercise best.My daily work includes much physical labor, to work up a sweat requires something intense, A few years ago I tried some classes at another crossfit gym, but I didn't feel i was quite fitting in and lost my motivation. I tried a free session here and highly recommend it! Clint is a very knowledgeable instructor, and pushes you to get results in a very low key manner.All the other members seem to exude the same warm vibe. I have some health challenges and they were willing to work out a plan that works for me. I agree with the review that said, run, don't walk to join! read more

Had a great experience during my drop in! Liz and Charlotte were very welcoming. Great energy, fun Wod and nice people! Thanks again! I would definitely drop in again read more

I've been attending Crossfit Coronado for 2 years and I'm just now getting around to a yelp review because I'm going on a vacation and planning to crash another crossfit gym and realized how important these Yelp reviews are. So here's the bottom line up front: I was looking for a gym like mine. Coronado Crossfit changed my life for the better. I'm a 47-year old who had never done olympic lifting before joining this gym but now I can do it all: Deadlift, Clean, Jerk, Snatch, Squat, Thruster in all the different variations (power, squat, hang, front rack, back, sumo). If you don't understand this, that's OK, you will be taught the moves thoroughly and won't be expected to do anything heavy until you master them. Of course crossfit is also about lots of different functional movements so I have also learned the proper way to do pull-ups, push-ups, box jumps, rope climbs, sprinting, kettle-bell swings, and jump rope double-unders. Crossfit also includes lots of "mobility" (stretching) and I am more flexible in a dozen different ways. Crossfit Coronado taught me how my body works. Oh, and they taught me how to fuel my body, too. Don't be intimidated! Women make up about 50% of the classes; there are college-age students both buff and working on it; and there are lots of old folks like me (and older!) chipping away at our own speed and at our own weight. And we'll all sweating up a storm. Classes start with introductions, continue with by-name cheers, and finish with high-fives. The trainers are all knowledgable, attentive, and positive. It starts with Clint & Kim (the owners); long-timers Mike, Dave, Katie & Todd are the foundation; and continues with some new instructors (Andrew & John) coming over from our sister-gym, Crossfit Outlier. The only trainer I didn't like moved on a long time ago and that says a lot right there. A word on drop-ins, since that's what triggered this review. They are always welcome although the etiquette everywhere is to contact the gym in advance and arrive early so your skill-level can be assessed. Being a vacation and a Navy town, I have seen all kinds of drop-ins: A Crossfit competitor doing an instructor-scored WOD, a teenagers on vacation coming to weekend open gym, a woman who came straight from the airport in a taxi and did the WOD with dangly earrings. Come and join us and don't forget to get a shirt to show off at your home gym. read more

Nothing but a positive experience at crossfit Coronado. A membership is totally worth it. The trainers are passionate about crossfit and very educated. They help you modify the workout if you have and injury or you are just out of shape. The gym is kept organized and clean. The trainers as well as other members are friendly and encouraging. I am so happy I found Crossfit Coronado. read more

Drop in for a few WODS when visiting San Diego. They could not have been nicer or welcoming. The coaching was great and both Clint and Katie treated me as if I were a regular. If I were living in coronado would join. read more

I went to San Diego and wanted to check out a few boxes in the area. I went to 3, and I have to tell you Crossfit Coronado was the pick of the litter. I showed up just as warm up started and they could not have been happier to see me. I didn't just get beasted, I got coached. I got help in my form, and the workout was scaled to my status as being slightly in less than perfect shape. I am from the school that the coaching makes the box, and it is there in spades. Coronado Crossfit is the kind of place interested in people's success, and I am a big fan. I bought a Tshirt, and I guard it from my wife worse than anything. When I get back to SD, I will be going back for sure! read more

Crossfit Coronado is awesome. Hands down the best workout experience I have ever had. It is scaleable for all workout levels so anyone can do it and get an EPIC workout. By epic work out I mean that 1000 years from now people will be singing songs and writing poems about you completing the workout because they are that impressive. read more

I really like this place! I have joined and quit more gyms in the last 25 years than I care to admit, but this is different. There is a trainer for every single workout to encourage, inspire, correct, push, and demand of you! On my own I am not disciplined to push myself (truthfully regarding working out I have not been disciplined at all). I am very grateful that I did not know anything about Crossfit when I showed up on a Saturday to try out the free introductory class. I was so out of shape I threw up and continued to heave for nearly 2 hours. A very fit woman close in age came up to me and said "don't give up, just show up" and so I did. I kept coming back with my tennis shoes on and my water bottle in hand, making very little eye contact with the supremely carved, disciplined others with whom I was working out next to. I would often think they must be asking themselves, did this lady get confused and think she was joining lawn bowling or speed walking or...? Well, I still show up fighting fear and leave feeling proud of myself, even... if I come in last. I sweat so much I always look like someone poured a bucket of water on my head. The reality is the people who work out at CFC are all getting their butt kicked with the same work out but modified to the individual and are very encouraging to one another. We all have different needs and goals, I might work out next to a Navy SEAL or a triathlete, but for me, I will be grateful to be able to keep hiking the high elevations in Tahoe's desolation wilderness and continue skiing black diamonds. In a little over a year, I will be 50. Bring it!!!! read more

Cross Fit Coronado is more than a gym, it is a community. A community in which the members share a common bond, Pain and Exhaustion. The trainers are excellent and the programming can be tailored for anyone willing to push themselves. The weekly Olympic lifting sessions in particular will be a direct indicator of your improvements in strength, balance, and speed. If you want a no nonsense workout that encompasses all aspects of athleticism, then this is the gym for you. read more

I decided to post something here because today I stepped on my scale and am back at my pre-pregnancy weight. Not only that, I feel great and have amazing energy to keep up with my little one. It's been a unique personal fitness journey. I thought I was in shape the first time I came in a year and a half ago, but learned there is a lot more to overall fitness than just the 5-8 mile post-work run I was doing every day. Crossfit showed me a better, more balanced way with workouts that got me in better shape and took up less of my time. So, I know that even for people who think they're doing great at fitness on there own, there's a lot you can get from coming in. And when I came in and let the trainers know I was expecting, they helped me find ways to scale workouts and stay healthy throughout my pregnancy. They kept me fit and injury free for 9 months! What an amazing resource to have during a time when a lot of people give up on working out. If they can scale a workout for a woman who's 8-months along, they can scale it for anyone. So no matter where people are in terms of fitness, Crossfit Coronado has something to offer. And although bouncing back wasn't the easiest thing, can't imagine how I would have done it without the great people at Crossfit Coronado. The trainers and my fellow Crossfitters are so encouraging! Ultimately, its the great people who make Crossfit Coronado the wonderful place it is. read more

I joined the gym in May of 2008 as an outlet and to get a workout. CFC has exceeded my expectations! The workouts are phenomenal -- getting me in better shape than I planned and providing me with a venue to experience a daily sense of accomplishment which positively impacts other areas of my life. The sense of community is an added bonus that I was also not looking for but pleasantly surprised by. read more
