Patient, guided instruction. Thoroughly enjoy my teachers, Camille and Josh. Am growing stronger at 66!

I've had an incredible experience at Glide Gym last one year with Josh and Lisa as my personal trainers! Their deep knowledge of human anatomy and injury-specific exercises has transformed my workouts. They tailored a program to my needs, helping me work through past injuries while getting stronger. Highly recommend Glide Gym for anyone looking for expert guidance and personalized training! Time to time, I participated group sessions with other trainers under Glide gym roof, I was extremely happy with those group sessions as well. Good people, knowledgeable trainers, quick results! read more

Glide Training Co - Trainers Near Me - San Diego, California

I've been going to Glide for group classes for about 2 years and I absolutely love it! The trainers here are the best I have ever trained with - they are knowledgable, easy to work with, and make you feel comfortable being there. It's a gym with a community, without the cult. Josh, Lisa and Tom are all incredible. Whether you're getting over an injury or just want to get a good workout in - this is a great place! read more

I came across Glide about a year ago through ClassPass. I have visited probably 50+ gyms through ClassPass. I have seen the good, the bad and the ugly in what's out there. Glide is one of the best gyms in San Diego!!! Josh and Lisa are wonderful trainers. They are caring, knowledgeable and will make you feel at home at their gym. Their classes are kept small and they know their clients. This is so important because they will work around injuries and customize workouts to their clients. They have been so supportive during this Coronavirus crisis. They have let me borrow equipment and are still providing amazing classes through Zoom. Even during online classes, they are paying attention to form and providing adjustments. I love Glide classes so much because it's basically personal training in a small group setting. Check them out so you can see what real training is like!!! read more

I first started going to Glide training for individualized training last March after I was in a bad car accident and hurt my shoulder. Josh really made an effort to work with me and I was able to rehab my shoulder in a month and have been going ever since. I can't say enough good things about this organization - they are thorough, consistent, and some of the most knowledgable trainers I've ever worked with. And, if you're really lucky, their adorable dogs will sit in on the personal training. I would HIGHLY recommend going to this facility and I've only done individualized training but I am also considering going to the group classes. The trainers here are warm, caring, concerned, knowledgable, and definitely one of the best trainers I've ever had the privilege of meeting and working with. Thank you again Josh - I can't thank you enough for rehabbing my shoulder, continuing to work on key areas of strength, and I feel stronger than I have in years. You're the best Josh!!!!! read more

I absolutely love Glide. I searched for a a gym for awhile before finding Glide and it was definitely worth the wait. I take the strength classes and they are so much better than any f45, Orange Theory, or other big corporate classes have to offer. The classes are small so Lisa and Josh are able to really focus on each of the clients and making sure you're feeling good and doing the exercises correctly. The classes are tough, but you will see results. I have gotten so much stronger and feel amazing. Both Lisa and Josh are super motivating and you can tell they really care about all their clients. read more

Josh and Lisa are wonderful! Go here for the classes, the dogs, and the members! Everyone's really nice! It's surprisingly hard to find interesting and fun strength and conditioning trainers and programming for small group classes around town. Glide is it! read more

Great studio for workouts! Lisa and Josh are wonderful owners and instructors who focus on proper techniques and challenging exercises. Atmosphere is very welcoming and small classes allows for individual focus. Wife and I have been coming to Glide for years and couldn't be more pleased. read more

LOVE Glide. Lisa and Josh are great! They give you an initial assessment and walk you through it so that you understand what your baseline is. That was perfect for me because it had been years since I really lifted weights. Class sizes are 4-6 people max, so you get the perks of "individualized" coaching, but you also get the energy and encouragement from others in the class. Privates are also an option, but I enjoy the atmosphere of the the classes more. The coaches know you by name, and remember any injuries you discuss with them and check up on you too. They do a great job at building a community here!! Plus, I feel (and apparently, look) so much stronger than when I started coming a few months back! It's a laid back environment. I've never felt uncomfortable or scared to lift heavy or try new things. You can book via MINDBODY App and ClassPass! read more

I had the opportunity to work out with josh over the weekend while visiting my best friend in San Diego. I was stoked because I don't like messing up my routine and was looking forward to a nice little sweat sesh. Josh and his gfs humble aboad also serves as their training facility and you instantly feel at home, especially with their two cute guard dogs watching you sweat. (Community and openness is my jam so it was a good feeling, esp being an out of towner) As I started my circuit josh and I started talking some more and eventually found out we have more in common than my friend who brought me there... ex soccer players, terrible hip flexors and loads of past and current pain. He saw me struggle with some excercises that were right side dominant and tweaked my form, and made me do a few other work outs to really see how god awful my hip flexors are. We shared our past expeirences with visiting PT's, chiros, etc etc. He grabbed a small ball and wanted me to try out a few things and eventually went upstairs to grab his portable table and had me lay on it. He introduced me to active release therapy (ATR) and basically told me what he was about to was going to hurt like hell. I was so game. I was super interested because anything that he'd been through with hip flexor pain, I have and still am going through as well. It did hurt but in a good way. I immediately felt some release in tension on each side, and was really stoked he took the time to do this for me and to teach me. I've always been a firm believer in finding someone you can trust in the gym, especially since we bonded as athletes first- I knew he was good. Regardless of your experience, athlete or not, or if you're scared to start something, I fully support you giving Josh and his gf a try. They care, they're fun, and they know their stuff. They have degrees to support the science behind it all, but they also have first hand experience which to me is very important. Think about what you could gain by taking a group class, or a one on one session... I got all this in one hour... Thank you again josh, you're rad! I'll be back soon! read more

Lisa and Josh are the best! They individualize workouts to each person in the class and are injury prevention focused, which is more and more important as I get older. I work out parts of my body that I've never worked out before, and I'm stronger and more balanced than ever. Highly recommend. read more

Glide offers an excellent variety of group classes including HIIT, weight lifting, plyometrics, TRX, pilates, yoga, recovery/stretching classes, as well as personal training. Josh and Lisa are fantastic trainers and are very attentive to everyone's individual needs. Classes can be great for any age and people in any health condition. read more

Cannot sing Josh & Lisa's praises enough!! Their classes are tough and effective. They're small and super personalized. They pay close attention to each person offering corrections, identifying weaknesses, and suggesting addition stretches, techniques, or exercises for improvement. To say they truly have a passionate for fitness is an understatement. They love what they do and they love helping their clients. I can't recommend them enough. read more

I have bee training with Josh & Lisa for at least 4 years now. They are both super awesome. Totally committed to their business and their clients. I have seen miraculous results. Currently running 3-4 days a week. I was inactive for at least 10 years. So running 3 miles a day is something I was not expecting. Keep up the awesome work. read more

THE BEST !!! If you have never worked with a personal trainer before DO IT and book it at Glide Training. It makes a HUGE difference to have someone else push you then to reply on being a self starter. I first started working out with Josh as a present from my bridesmaids to get in shape for my wedding. Josh is highly educated about all forms of training and is well in tune with which exercise (or stretch) works best for your specific needs. I saw results immediately and have kept up with training with him long since my wedding. Both Lisa and Josh are extremely passionate about what they are doing and their energy is contagious. They are also very real and honest about what it takes to achieve my goals and hold me accountable until I reach them. Every time I leave I am proud and impressed with myself even though they kicked my *ss !!! Side note: their location is super convenient. Right near freeway exits and their studio has air conditioning and is always clean ! read more

Amazing personal trainers, they really pay attention to your form and needs. I especially found it helpful that they explained how the exercises worked my muscles to get the form I'm looking for. Couldn't recommend this enough !! read more

This review is long overdue! Lisa and Josh are the best. I have worked out in so many cities, gyms and had various instructors/ trainers and they are the best I've known. I stumbled upon this local gym via ClassPass about a year and a half ago when I moved from San Francisco down to San Diego, and became hooked. These two know what they are doing. Not only will you gain strength and overall fitness, but mobility which will allow you to stay active without injury! The classes are personal and small allowing for you to actually get instruction and personal encouragement. Honestly, all fitness levels and ages. It is small so the workout works/ adapted for everyone. The classes are all different allowing you to chose the type of workout you need. They mix it up and you never get bored. I've been a loyal member for a while and usually I bounce around between gyms. This one has it all. I don't usually write reviews, but Glide is great and you NEED to go. Ps: recently they added yoga and (I am not a yogi) but it's fun and personalized! read more

They deserve 10 stars. Josh and Lisa are wonderful trainers,they work with you to meet your fitness goals and push you to make your results last. Very knowledgeable , encouraging and friendly. Would recommend to anyone. read more

PLEASE READ. Lisa and Josh not only promote physical, but also mental wellness for their clients. Glide training is my comprehensive elixir to aid myself with physical and mental well being. Visting there, are my favorite days of the week! Not only do they work around my schedule (regardless of how it impacts themselves), they also noticed I became less energetic (really, I was "down") after my best friend chloe (yellow lab of 11 years) passed away. Lisa and Josh knew that "hole" in my life and my heart contributed to me spiraling into an unhealthy physical and mental lifestyle. I gained over 20 lbs and no longer had the desire to even jog. They helped me search for a dog during breaks of our session; while I drastically sipped water between the cycles of sophisticated and fun workouts they designed specifically for me, they were coaching me on when/if I was ready to consider a new pet. Once I committed, the "breaks" of our workout became strategy to find my new pet. Lisa and Josh, fully committed to me as always, saw my concern/trepidation to adopt/rescue this pet because I live alone. I was afraid of being able to give the pet the time and attention they needed, even though I desperately needed and missed that (I no longer had dog beach, morning walks, that "lick" on the face to start your day, I missed my dog, Lisa knew it without me even having to describe or verbalize it - that's a tip to all - if you have that - that person's committed to your wellness, follow them!). Lisa and Josh morphed into our "village." They agreed to welcome the puppy into their home for the first several days because they knew how nervous I was. No, I was wrong; it was because they knew I needed her and she (the puppy) needed me; that it would make me healthier and happier while giving this orphaned animal a home and best friend. I added "please read," because in this marketplace, SAN DIEGO, you won't find trainers that care about YOU as a human or your holistic health. EXCEPT, here. I've been in San Diego 15 years, finally I have a community of people (all of their clients, incredible folks) and a training team (Josh & Lisa) that universally cares about holistic health; I'm a liar, I'm so impressed how they care about me and make me better. Give yourself the same gift, you won't regret it! read more

This Facility is EVERYTHING! To be honest I was a little hesitant at first because I am used to doing circuit training with 20-100 people in the class and this one caps out at 8 (maybe just for the FAST AF that they do). I've been searching for a work out in San Diego that not only pushes you to your limit so that you feel empowered when you leave, but is also exciting enough that makes you want to come back. I've tried so many gyms and this is definitely it. There are 8 people so that they can focus on your form. In the last two years, I've been to numerous gyms in numerous cities, and while I've found some that I love, none focus on increasing your power while also focusing on literally every detail of your form. I've basically been doing every move wrong for the last few years. They are so intent on focusing on your form and pushing you beyond your limit. The class goes by so fast. You know that the instructors care about you and the people that go are so friendly. I have a knee injury from running, and Josh modifies the workouts so that I strengthen and restore my injury. I highly recommend it if you want to increase your strength, improve your form, focus on injury prevention, want to develop a relationship with your instructor, want to go if you are trying something new and might feel hesitant about being in a personal gym. Basically if you want to workout and or be healthy I was suggest going here. First timers or experts. read more

Josh & Lisa are the best! I've taken their personal training and group classes. I love the variety of results-driven work outs and the overall energy of the gym. I've never looked forward to working out, but Glide changed that for me! Highly recommend. read more

I have been training with Josh for 8 months now. I have since lost 12 lbs and been able to fit back into all of my "skinny" clothes. He does an outstanding job of personalizing your work outs based on your overal fitness goals, and body type areas of opportunity. His work outs are intense, diverse, and cutting edge. He is really unique in that he pushes you on different levels and has a way of making you believe in and push yourself to be the best you can be. He also does a great job of holding you accountable to your goals and adjusting your plan as you get closer to meeting them. His pricing is competitive, and even if it means sacrificing a few nights out or outfits I dont need, I am happy to do that to make sure I dont miss my work outs. Besides helping me achieve some of my most daunting physical fitness goals, Josh has also become a friend. He's very passionate about what he does, and genuinely invested in each of his clients. I highly recommend him to anyone looking to improve their physical condition in a fun, challenging, and personalized environement. read more

I am so glad I discovered Josh at Glide Training Co! I recently moved from Dallas and have had a hard time discovering good gyms and trainers in San Dieg until I met Josh. Not only is he a knowledgeable and fun trainer but he's also professional, innovative, and always tailoring the workouts to fit my personal goals. Every workout is different and I leave each class feeling accomplished and motivated. I love Glide Traning Co and wish I can tell everyone in San Diego about it! read more

I trained with Josh in 3 different sessions and, I really enjoyed working with him. As someone who has not exercised for some time, I was pretty weak, but Josh knew exactly how much to push me. He has a great variety of different exercises, some even his own creations. Some of his exercises works smaller muscles that are not used in daily life. He explains the exercises well, and makes good adjustments in the case of poor form. He can spot weak areas, and he then focuses on those areas. Overall, I really enjoyed working with him, and would definitely recommend him. read more

Josh and Lisa are absolutely amazing. As others have said, they are about full being health; diet, exercise, mental state, everything. I've been working with them only for 6 weeks and the results are amazing. I am coming back to fitness after a 7 year hiatus and they know exactly how to far to push and when to let up. Tracking results and motivation are two more benefits of what Josh and Lisa offer. I know quantifiable how I am doing, not just from the bathroom scale. Finally, they are both extremely knowledgeable in the science and will "geek out" on the physiology of what we are doing and why. I've learned so much about my body and health beyond just getting in a good workout. I cannot recommend Josh and Lisa enough. If you are looking for a trainer, stop looking and schedule a time, you won't be sorry, although maybe a bit sore! ;) read more

Josh has been a wonderful trainer and motivator. I've been training with him throughout my 5 months of heavy traveling and I know that without Josh I would have lost my motivation to workout almost entirely. It's difficult to workout while traveling, but I always knew I had Josh to answer to back and home and that whenever I was home he was ready to make me sweat. Josh not only is a great and knowledgeable trainer, but he also focuses on helping my diet and regular workouts. He will make you a food and workout plan to utilize when you're not with him. He also works around my hectic schedule and is competitively priced. Josh even went so far as to say he would run/workout with me on his days off! He really cares about his clients and our improvement! read more

Josh is the best! He knows exactly how and when to motivate you to be the best you can be! I look forward to one day pushing and motivating him in one of my yoga classes! read more

I have been training with Lisa since May and the results she's pulling and kicking out of me have been astounding. I've lost over 30 inches around my entire body (almost 5 sizes), and a decent amount of lbs. I've still got plenty of work to do, but I know in Lisa I not only have an excellent trainer, but a true partner in my goals. I've learned to make better choices in the foods I eat, and she always pays attention to my body, pushing me hard and motivating me when necessary, and backing off when my body needs a break. Both Lisa and Josh understand the importance of building quality client relationships, motivating their clients and that translates into results. read more

Josh is an AWESOME trainer. I have been training with him for a little over a year now and I feel great! I have had chronic neck and lower back issues for years and had been in daily pain for a very very long time. Josh knows just how to work with me on getting those areas strong. I am virtually pain free now. I am in my 60's and had never worked out with anyone. I was a little apprehensive at first as I was worried about injuring myself further. This couldn't have been farther from the truth. My core is stronger than its ever been. I have built muscle and no longer feel fragile. His prices are competitive and are worth every penny. He has an impressive knowledge of our body's anatomy and how everything works together. I highly recommend Glide Training Co for your personal training. THANK YOU THANK YOU!!! read more

Josh and Lisa are the best! They provide a variety of tough workouts that get results. They are super knowledgable and attentive- injury prevention is a top priority. Glide is the opposite of big gym-cookie cutter workouts. It's called "personal training" for a reason. Even when I do the small group workouts- I still get personal attention. read more

My fiancé and I have been training with Josh for several years now. I can't say enough good things about him. Josh is a highly skilled trainer who focuses on your specific goals. He has a vast knowledge of health, fitness, and exercises that focus on your "trouble" spots while still giving you a full body work out. Additionally, Josh has taken me from not being able to run for more than about 2 minutes, to completing a 1/2 marathon - something I NEVER envisioned myself doing. Glide also offers group training classes every day of the week. I absolutely LOVE Tuesday night Booty class with Lisa. Josh and Lisa both have kept us highly motivated and coming back for more year after year. Do yourself a favor and sign up NOW - you will not regret it! read more

Josh and Lisa at Glide Training Co are awesome! I've been training with Josh for about 5 years now. He has worked with me through every injury I've brought upon myself in my personal workout endeavors and has guided me through many weight loss challenges. He adjusts the workouts to what is going on with my body, like doing a whole stretch session to prevent injury when my muscles were really tight. He will meet me at the beach for a beach workout to improve my beach volleyball skills too. He also developed a plan for me for my upcoming wedding which included heavy lifting up until I had hand surgery and now cardio workouts. He coaches me with food choices and holds me accountable with weekly weigh-ins and my food log. He knows exactly how hard to push me and how much weight I can handle (even when I think it's too much!). I've lost at least 6lbs and have majorly toned up! They even let me bring my dog to the studio to play with their puppies. The studio is awesome, air conditioned and spacious. Both of them are great trainers and are well educated in anatomy and nutrition. I love working out with them! read more
