    I am so damn happy I found this place. Fitness4ward has truly changed my life! Let me start off by saying that I am super busy these days with multiple projects I am running for my company. I noticed my mental health deteriorating and my energy completely depleted. I properly eating and my weight was the highest it was ever been in my 35 years of life. I knew I had to start making a change otherwise my health issues would be amplified. I work in the Sorrento/Miramar area but my commute home depending on traffic would be anywhere from 30-45 mins wasting time sitting in a car. I started looking for a gym/personal training facility in the proximity of my office. It took me some time but after searching online I find Fitness4ward. Automatically they were at the top of my list because of the awesome reviews and experiences other members had. I stopped by on a Monday to get an idea of the place. I was greeted by Jon and he spoke to me briefly while a session was happening. He gave me an idea of the workouts and schedule. What really gave me comfort was how kind he was and caring about my curiosity for the establishment. I took a picture of the schedule and told him Ill try it out for a couple of days and see from there. Next day I looked up the times of each classes and this was a huge one for me! Most places close so early, that by the time I am out of the office, I would not be able to attend a workout class. Not only do I now have multiple options, but by the time I am leaving, there is not traffic when I am heading home! After trying out for 2 days, I had become a member. Within 2 months of pretty consistent attendance, I truly feel the best I have ever in my life. Most of my workouts were in cardio before with other gyms or when I was aimlessly attending a gym with no guidance. I did not know that about strength and conditioning. Never in my life did I think I would be lifting and working out like I am today. Ill say it again, Fitness4ward has changed my life.

    August 2022 when my husband joined Fitness4ward, back then I was just dropping him off at the gym or sometimes I would wait at the parking lot until he finishes the class. He kept on asking me if I'd like to join because he said that it makes him feel energize and it's different from the other gyms in San Diego. I was skeptical at first, I was thinking if I could do that as well because I don't workout at all. I was overweight, out of shape, eating a lot of junk food and got no energy to start for this kind of lifestyle. After a month, I finally tried their complementary workout. From then on, I kept on going. I LOVE IT!!! I lost 20lbs as of now, FELT SO GOOD! the fun part is that I gained friends. We also go hiking, which I also love! It feels so good to be surrounded with people who have the same goals and who keeps on pushing one another to be better versions of themselves. Fitness4ward is my happy place. Something I am excited to do every day after a long day at work. They have fun classes and cool coaches. I would be so lost if i didn't join this awesome community. ‍

    I love this gym! I just started a month ago and i already feel stronger and know more exercises than ever. The owner John and the other coaches are very hands on. I met new wonderful people too. This is my first ever crossfit experience and i'm truly glad that i joined. It's not just a gym. It's a family.

    I am so thankful that I found Fitness4ward! I have been going there for almost 4 years. Jon keeps the workouts challenging and changes them up so you will never get bored with the workouts. I am so grateful for the knowledge I have gained. I am in my late 50s and feel better than I did 20 years ago! Another plus is the friendships I have made. Everyone is so welcoming. We keep each other accountable and check on one another. This is the first gym I have ever been to that is not intimidating. This gym is truly a gem! I will continue to go there for many years to come! I would recommend this gym to anyone who wants to get serious about their health and well being.

    I can't recommend this place enough! I've done years of Pilates and spin classes but I always found myself wanting more. I'd been wanting to give weight training a try, but I didn't know where to start and I knew I'd be lost doing it on my own at a commercial gym. I found Fitness 4ward and I'm so glad I gave it a chance. Jon and his staff of coaches are phenomenal. Every session is planned out and part of an overall training program. They accept members at every level of fitness and experience, and there is a heavy emphasis on form and technique. You don't have to worry about getting injured here. With consistency and dedication the results come fast and you'll find yourself quickly gaining that confidence we all strive for in the gym. Jon's wealth of knowledge doesn't stop at weight training though! He can coach you through your nutrition and will do check ins with you on your measurements and goals. I initially joined the gym hoping to lose weight, and for the first time in my years of effort I am seeing results. It's been so encouraging that I've even changed my goals with time and have been working towards building more muscle. (My last set of measurements revealed a smaller waist and larger booty) In addition to the training this gym has an incredible community. I've made so many friends here and there isn't a better feeling in the world than being cheered on by your peers while you hit a new PR. We do community hikes and happy hours so there is a lot of opportunity for socializing if that's something you're interested in. Again, I cannot say enough good things about this place, please just give it a try

Each session is a complete, functional 45-minute workout that changes daily--no two classes are ever the same. The circuit-style HIIT format keeps you moving efficiently from station to station, so you're never waiting around or competing for equipment like you might at other gyms. Every class is supported by one to two knowledgeable coaches who demonstrate movements, ensure proper form, and provide constant motivation and accountability both inside and outside the studio. What truly sets this location apart is the close-knit community. You see many of the same members regularly, creating a supportive environment where everyone encourages one another. I've even made lifelong friends here. I highly recommend stopping in for a trial session--you won't be disappointed.

I lost some weight working out on my own when I hit a plateau. Since training with Coach Joshua, I've seen more results in the last 6 months than I ever did working out on my own. My body feels more toned, and I can definitely feel the muscles coming in. Every week, I'm able to see progress, and Coach will sit with you to find out what your goals are and help keep you accountable. It's nice to have a Coach that's professional and knows how to make class fun while challenging you. I question the weight every time Coach tells me to go heavier, and everytime..I'll do it and shock myself. I joined in September, thinking 15 lbs was heavy. Within a few weeks, I was already losing weight and lifting like a pro! As a new lifter like myself, I'm able to learn proper techniques and ways to prevent injury. I get to learn how to work certain muscles and all these different workouts...that's most exciting. Class is always strategically planned out for you, so you get a full fun hour workout with great people around and a Coach to guide you through each workout. Since classes are offered from 5am - 6:30pm, it is never crowded. I love that because it almost feels like personal training. You'll meet amazing people here that will cheer you on. Which is a plus. Sometimes, we need that support. This gym is very clean, has tons of equipment and a large range of weights for all levels of lifters. We get to workout outside sometimes too, which is nice to get some fresh air and vitamin D. I've lost 29 lbs since joining and am so excited to see what 1 year of commitment looks like.

I've personally have not tried other "similar" type of gyms but from the feedbacks of others I've talked to, this gym's program and setup is one of the most effective. From the owner Rory to the trainers Brooke/Loccy, everyone greets you with a smile and only sends positive support. No judgement on the amount of weight you use nor the amount of reps you can do. As long as you give it your all! It's a pretty even 50/50 split with men and women. Don't be afraid to come check it out! I highly recommend.

Then when don't reach the goal, they do not honor a partial refund and only offer a credit to continue. I went from 199 to 187.4 in 6 weeks. The device said I lost 1.6% body fat and it increased from the prior two weeks each week. Mathematically it makes no sense.

An older customer directed racist language and derogatory comments toward another member, and the situation escalated quickly. At one point, I felt that the older man's behavior became threatening, by saying what he would do to the black guy after he responded to him for speaking down to him. When the black guy said your mama, after being called a slur, I was sure things were way past fixing. The interaction felt hostile rather than respectful or appropriate for a gym environment. When the other member stood up and responded, the older man left to speak with management. From what I observed, it appeared management may have taken the older man's side without fully understanding what was happening. I've also seen this same customer act rudely toward others in the past, particularly around personal space and how he interacts with members waiting for or using equipment. I'm reporting this because threats and racist conduct have no place in a fitness facility. I have experienced it also but I hope management takes complaints seriously, investigates thoroughly, and ensures members feel safe.
