I have put off fitness for many, many years for a multitude of reasons- lack of confidence, fear of…read morejudgement, insecurity in my physical abilities, body image, the list goes on and on. I'm a larger bodied person, and historically I have given up on working out and struggled to stay consistent. I finally got myself to a class, and I'm grateful it was here! From the first moment Jay greeted me at OHM, I felt safe and supported by his welcoming energy and personalized attention. He is well informed, personable, and very kind! I was uncertain about the EMS suit, but once I was in the class I realized I was in full control of how much sensation I received throughout the workout, and it was much more effective than I anticipated! Coach Jesse inspired me to continue pursing my fitness goals. I'll be honest, in my first class, I was scared and I didn't think I could do it. But, I could feel that Jesse believed I could, and he supported me with a gentle and encouraging energy that made me feel safe, challenged, and successful. After just a few classes, I've felt my physical and mental confidence increase both inside and outside the studio, and instead of feeling anxiety and dread, I feel capable and eager to continue pursing my physical goals. Thank you, Jesse and Jay! You guys rock!

The restroom is often out of paper products or just plan dirty. The equipment is seeing some wear but that is to be expected at a popular gym.

Even though the workouts are in a group setting, they're always thoughtfully tailored to your individual needs and fitness level. It's clear there's a deep understanding and intention behind every movement and program. Every trainer genuinely cares, not just about your performance, but about your quality of life and long-term progress in and out of the gym. You're not just another member--you're part of a community. The atmosphere is also incredibly welcoming, fun and supportive. The programming is consistently challenging and effective no matter your background or goals. It's everything you need in a gym--and so much more. Highly recommend!

Fast forward half a year, and I'm now working out 5 days a week, feeling stronger, more mobile, and full of energy. My mobility and movement have drastically improved, and I've gained lean muscle while losing body fat, I'm fitting into clothes that hadn't fit in years and feeling more confident in my everyday life. I'm stronger both physically and mentally. My cardio endurance, flexibility, and overall strength have all improved dramatically. I actually look forward to every workout. Amy (the head coach) is such an amazing coach and person who genuinely cares about your well-being. She meets you exactly where you are and helps you progress safely and effectively. Every class feels like a personal training session. She's fully aware of my mobility limitations, makes smart modifications, and teaches techniques that build a strong, lasting foundation. Her approach ensures that you're not only getting fitter but also moving better and preventing injury. All of the coaches here are fantastic, knowledgeable, motivating, and supportive. They create an environment where everyone can succeed, no matter their fitness level. I've been to nine gyms in the past five years, and this one is by far the best. The community here is uplifting, supportive, and motivating, everyone encourages each other to keep showing up and doing their best. My health was going downhill before I started here, and I wasn't looking forward to turning 50. Now, I'm excited for the future, for my health, and for how I'm thriving again. Six months strong -- and I plan to be here for many years to come.

If you choose not to read my lengthy review, bottom line Coach Vishal is rude and immature. The…read morenegative review is not based on the services I received but on his behavior after. He began yelling at me over the phone. He was so disrespectful and aggressive I don't feel comfortable being in his presence. He also illegally charged my card. He also responded to this review with a lengthy email telling me I'm tremendously out of shape, amongst other things. Great way to body shame someone trying to get into shape. I made the mistake of inquiring about the "free" 4week booty challenge I saw on Facebook. You can pay $300 for the challenge or $400. With $400, if you lose a certain percentage of your body fat you get all your money back, if you don't you get $200 credit to roll into another program. I've belonged to gyms before but I'm unmotivated to go. I hate wasting money so I figured this challenge would help. You also can't miss any of the classes. I met with Coach Vishal 3/6 to sign up and pay $350, I had already left a $50 deposit. My training sessions were MWF for 1 hour. 3/9 I worked out with him and he told us after he would be out for surgery (why wouldn't you inform new clients of this so they could make the decision to sign up later). So, that Wednesday and Friday he had a substitute. During that week the whole Covid 19 happened. I contacted him 3/16 about my concerns because my roommates were super paranoid about the whole thing and didn't think the gym was safe, since they had started closing down places. He told me as a courtesy he could give me a credit for 9 sessions but he can't force me to workout. I said that's fine. I'll contact you in a couple weeks when this thing dies down (unbeknownst to me). That same week some gyms chose to be proactive and close but by 3/18 they were mandated, including The Gym. (You have to pay $40 for one month to join the gym to do the Pumpz challenge) Vishal did not reach out to any of his students. 3/24 I contacted him. I wanted to know about the challenge. He replied but didn't answer my question. On 3/27 he sent out a link to a free home workout, in case we didn't feel comfortable going to the gym (impossible since it's closed). 3/27 So since he had time to send messages, but couldn't reply to me, I contacted my bank to file a dispute because Vishal could no longer provide the services seeing as the gym was closed. None of us know when the stay home order will be lifted and it's unfair for him to keep all of my money. Anything could happen, he could go out of business, I could move die anything! So my bank withdrew the payment and gave me a temporary credit. Coach Vishal chose to simply charge my card again on 4/8. I called my cc company and they thought possibly I was set up for reoccurring payment. No I signed up for a one time 4 week challenge, meeting 3 times weekly MWF. Classes commenced 3/9 and set to end 4/3. So I disputed that charge too. Well 4/21 I received a phone call from Vishal. He said there's a problem with your payment. I said yes I disputed it after you didn't respond. He said I don't have time to respond to everybody. (But he's posting on fb about how bored he is and what else do you have to do, you can't work! ) I said well I'll be happy to pay again once this is lifted and gyms open. He said no it doesn't work that way. All my time that I put in making your diet (10 minutes). I said well I'll pay you $100 for the one week I attended. He became very irate started yelling at me. I said I'm not going to have this conversation right now with you like this. He said I didn't respond to the first notice (from my cc company) but I'll respond to the new one. I said you also illegally charged my card after they withdrew the payment. I ended up saying do what you have to do and hung up because how can you converse with someone that's arguing, yelling, and unreasonable. Vishal's behavior shows that he's a poor business man and doesn't respect his clients. I've read other Yelp reviews and he even called someone an idiot! I think Vishal only approaches women like this. He talks about wasting his time, but he wants to waste my money. Bottom line is do to unforeseeable circumstances he can't provide the service I signed up for during the timespan I signed up for.

I usually go during Mondays for their 12:15 high intensity noon work out. It is only 45 minutes long but they work your whole body! you are constantly doing circuit training workouts with kettle bells and cardio work outs! The trainers work on making sure your form is correct as well as teaching you techniques for better breathing etc. It is a lot smaller than a typical gym place, and a bit out of place since it is surrounded by businesses and its in a warehouse. But this change of scenery isn't too bad. I don't have to worry about people watching me and the disgusting sweaty gym smell. If they have another deal, i'll most likely buy it. I probably wouldn't purchase their regular price classes because it's in Encinitas which is far from where I live. But for $3 for private sessions, its worth it!

Also, the community is fantastic. All very friendly and outgoing (that's what makes this place special). You'll find people of all levels - much less about competing with each other and more about improving yourself. They even have 5AM and 6:15AM classes M-F, so you can get your workout in before work if you have family commitments after work. No excuses!
