I had the incredible opportunity to work with Coach J for a 12 month virtual program. She is well educated and a vet in the fitness world. She doesn't sugar coat or beat around the bush when it comes to pursuing your goals and doing the hard thing -- she's truly your biggest cheerleader. She coached me through mental obstacles during the program and helped me overcome them. She also didn't just prepare me to go through the program successfully, but also taught me how to continue taking care of my health after the program was completed. I was able to drop from a size 18 to a size 12, lost and kept off 15 lbs, and lost 9.5 inches off of my waist. I'm so grateful for the impact she made in my life and I suggest her for anyone I know who is serious about improving their health. read more

GREAT ALL AROUND THE BOARD, my go-to trainer when needing an extra push in my workouts! Helps me with my strength and conditioning and keeps my form right to see the best results! 5 STARS! read more

J is the best--no seriously, give her a trophy or a cape or something. She's freakishly good at meeting you where you're at (mentally, physically, and emotionally... especially on leg day). She helps you build a solid foundation without making you feel overwhelmed or judged. Don't like a move? Missing equipment? Just feeling meh? She adjusts without skipping a beat--and somehow makes you feel like a champ for showing up. 10/10 would sweat and complain again. read more

I have been working out with Coach J for just about 3 months now. I am currently signed up for in-person sessions with her twice a week . Above are my transformation photos from the start until now. I have lifted heavier than I ever thought I could (especially with hip thrusts and dead lifts) Coach J pushes you to become a better version of yourself and reach your goals. Her Gym is beautifully set up with all updated equipment and well maintained. It is always so clean and she even lights a candle sometimes :) Coach J has amazing energy and brings it when you walk in the door. Even if you don't train with Coach J in person, she also offers online training with meal plans or macros -- whatever your heart desires. I personally am doing a meal plan as my mental could not understand macros. Coach with Coach J ! you won't regret it :) read more

Knowledgeable and personable trainer. She gave me confidence when weight lifting and she practices what she preaches. She pushes you in all the right ways. read more

J is truly the best trainer I've ever had!! Not only is she super encouraging and motivating, but she also pushes me to my limits with each workout and I have seen the best progress with her. She is also the sweetest, most down to earth human being! I HIGHLY recommend her!! read more

I've been working with J for about 5-6 years now. During that time my body and energy levels have fluctuating and J has been able to meet me where I'm at in my journey every time, she discusses my goals and really takes the time to expand and dissect all factors that influence a fitness journey. I've trained with her in person and also online and the biggest grunt of my accomplishments happened while I was an online client and that is wild to me! Coast to coast she was able to pivot, challenge and manage my motivation, well-being and self esteem. She's a bad ass coach and I would recommend her to everyone. read more

I found ElevatewitJ when I didn't know where to turn or what to do, but knew what I was doing was not working. Over the course of 2 years, she gave me the tools and helped to instill a routine in place that carried on until now. As I started to hit goals with her, my confidence began to grow and I slowly became a better version of myself! If you are in the same place I was in or similar, training with J is the place to be! read more

Coach J has been my trainer for a while. I've done multiple of her online challenges through the years and I am currently signed up for her Online Program through her app. I LOVE IT!!! She is knowledgeable, passionate and overall an awesome trainer to work with. She has multiple programs to choose from and I love that the app has instructional videos as well. As a busy mom of two, I love the ability to have fitness in my back pocket through my phone, such a convenience! Thank you Coach J, for everything you do for me and all of your clients! read more

I can't say enough about Elevation Fitness and Jusilla Ann (Coach J). I'm a Boomer era senior and considered myself to be in decent shape, but had lost a step here and there, have stiffened up over the years and the club gym routine was just not doing it for me. So my wife and I have been working with Coach J for one year now and it has been very rewarding. Before we started I had issues with my knees, back, mobility and range of motion. Coach J customized a program to focus on alleviating these issues while working on strength and conditioning. At first I couldn't imagine getting through a full hour workout because of the intensity, but in a short amount of time the conditioning started to pay off. The work outs are still challenging, but now I know how to pace myself and have the strength and endurance I need to push myself. I have gotten down to my nominal weight losing my belly (~15lbs) while putting on muscle. I no longer wear knee braces, can do 24" vertical box jumps with ease, my cardio is so much better, can do full motion squats and have nearly doubled my functional and lifting strength. In the year we've worked with her, Coach J has been creative in her workouts, adding Bootcamps, Yoga, Stretching applications and invests in specialized equipment to create diverse and challenging workouts. Her academic training, knowledge and experience are outstanding. The facility is clean, well equipped and everyone there is helpful, and there is a real sense of camaraderie. Even while enduring COVID shut downs Coach J created at home work outs, guided us with nutrition and meal preparation. Jusilla genuinely cares about our goals and our health often checking in with us to see how we're doing. I definitely recommend Coach J whether you're just starting out, looking for sport specific training, or want to take your fitness to the next level. read more

ElevatewithJ - Take your fitness to the next level and love doing it! - Trainers Near Me - El Cajon, California

HORRIBLE EXPERIENCE. I paid $1,500 for 4 classes (granted I did not show up for two of them because she made me very uncomfortable). She is a bully and a racist, here are some examples of things she said: "He's white but he's alright" - WTF!!!!!! "This book is very easy if you can't figure it out you shouldn't have a job". - WOW what a supportive trainer!! I hated going to her gym and tried to cancel, at which point she becomes oh so sweet and told me that I can't because I am locked in a contract (her solution is I stop going and she just takes all my money). We could have parted in peace with both our dignities but instead, she was greedy and took as much money from my account as she could she is still trying to withdraw money and this happened in January. Please don't bother responding to this as I am not here to speak with you, I am here to warn others to stay away from you. read more

I have been a member of Elevation Fitness for more than a year and this review is overdue. I absolutely love Elevation. I love the flexibility of the training hours, the others members and the staff. Coach J as I fondly call Julissa Bridegroom, is the proud owner of this establishment. She's a consummate professional. She takes pride in what she does. She is caring, has expert knowledge and is constantly thinking of ways to provide her clientele with the best possible experience, whether exercise, nutrition, food prep, just fill in the blank. I have lost over 20 lbs and gained muscle mass which I previously thought was an impossibility since I'm older now. Coach J assured me that if I put in the work both in the gym and in the kitchen, I would see results and I do. Come by and join us, we'd love to have you. read more

I worked with Jusilla for her 12 week remote program and it was worth every penny. She is intentional, motivating, and an incredible coach all around. As someone who had two babies back to back and gained a ton of weight during the process, I was so grateful for this program. Within the 12 weeks I was not only able to lose 15lbs (and I've been able to keep it off!!) but I also lost almost 10 INCHES around my waist! The results speak for themselves. I've recommended her to everyone I know because it really impacted my lifestyle. She teaches balance and how to realistically meet your goals. I plan on working with her again in the future, she's amazing. read more

Beware of this business. I used to work out here for 4 months. The owner is a bully and charges people even after they cancel with sufficient notice. She has taken money from multiple customers after they try to stop working out there. She charged me $800 for sessions I was not even able to use and I didn't continue to pursue a refund because it wasn't even worth my time. However, I wanted to warn others to not fall for her scam. I couldn't use my real name because she is so aggressive and threatening when confronted about money. This gym just feels like a DIY and uses equipment from Amazon for her outrageous prices. With her unreasonable prices and the service she provides, I don't know how she is still in business. BEWARE. read more

Miss J makes working out fun! She challenges her clients but never pushes too far. For someone who dislikes working out, it is Miss J who has me looking forward to each workout! read more

Coach Jay has helped me, a person with 3 bulged lower back disks, feel the best I have in a long time. My lower back pain is no longer a problem with her rehabilitation exercise regimen while also seeing great results in weight and overall physique. You want results but afraid of an injury?! Coach Jay is the way! read more

This review is long overdue. I've been attending Elevation Fitness for 8 months now. I signed up with the intention of trying it out. This was not the case, what started as a hobby, a new year's resolution, became a lifestyle and the solution. The solution to managing my stress and unwinding after a long day. Jusilla has helped me tone my stomach a problem area for me, and with strength training for my marathons. She checks my form to see if I am preforming the moves safely. This is something I appreciate because I had zero experience in weight training, form or anything gym related. However, after attending Elevation Fitness I feel confident in my capabilities. Her classes are challenging but she knows when to make modifications. So if your looking for change, growth, and a Sweaty work out check out this gym! read more

I have spent a year with Jusilla learning nutrition as well as working out. Jusilla has taught me good habits and how to make smart eating decisions as well as the importance of an exercise routine. In addition to just working out Jusilla has taught me how to properly stretch which has improved my body movements. This has assisted with getting rid of lower back pain, hamstring issues I had in the past and overall flexibility. I have recommended several friends and will continue to send Jusilla referrals! read more
