Working with Andrea has been one of the best investments I've made in my health. She has helped me…read morestay accountable to my strength training in a way that's both motivating and sustainable. Rather than expecting perfection, she focuses on small, realistic changes to my nutrition that have naturally led to better daily decisions and long-term habits. What truly sets her apart is how she shows up every single session. She meets me with compassion and flexibility on the days when life is heavy and I genuinely need to adjust. But she also knows me well enough to recognize when I'm simply making excuses--and that's when she challenges me to push through. That balance of empathy and accountability has made all the difference. I leave every session feeling stronger, more confident, and supported. If you're looking for a trainer who truly cares about your progress and knows exactly when to encourage you and when to push you, I can't recommend Andrea enough.

I can't recommend Andrea enough. She quickly identified my weak spots and has worked with me to…read morestrengthen them -- I feel noticeably better overall, and pain from overworking certain muscles has subsided. Her workouts always challenge me just the right amount, never too easy or overwhelming. She also made eating well feel manageable by breaking it into clear, personalized goals instead of one vague plan. Everything she does is tailored to me specifically, and it shows in the results. Five stars, easily.

181 fitness has been the best investment I've made for myself this past year. After having my twins…read moreI didn't know if I was ever going to get back to my previous fitness level. I tried popular home workout plans and bought a membership to a big box gym, but it wasn't long before I dreaded my workouts due to lack of direction and minimal progress. I can confidently say that I have exceeded any fitness expectations that I previously set for myself, all because of the trainers at 181 Fitness, who are extremely knowledgeable and truly CARE about each client. They work with all fitness levels, to make the workouts work for you, not the reverse. If something doesn't feel right, I let one of the trainers know, and without hesitation they switch it out for a different exercise. Since joining 181, I now feel like each one of my workouts is well thought out and has a purpose. Can't recommend it highly enough!

Whether you are in the group class or the private sessions, a trainer works with you one on one to help meet your fitness needs. They observe your movements to make sure that your form is correct and to ensure you don't hurt yourself while trying to better yourself. Most importantly, the team at 181 is awesome. From Cody, to Jessie, to Tony, to Gabe, they welcome you and make you feel like family. If you've been thinking about "getting back in shape," stop proscrastinating. Make the call, because a year from now you will have wish you started yesterday.

I am thankful to have this resource in North County who has helped me with not just seasonal sicknesses but is also a great resource for other medical issues for which I don't want to use traditional medical doctors. They're easy to get in with and are extremely knowledgeable about naturopathic methods to cure what ails you.

I really enjoy the boxing classes along with the dancing ones I attend there. Everyone is super friendly and attentive. I have also been doing the Rally classes with different instructors, they are equally good and motivating. This Exos has lots of parking and is adjacent to a brewery (not so sure if that is a plus:). The trees and the greeneries surrounding it make this fitness center very cool. Also, remember that the studio classes are in a separate yet super close building.

After trying MANY times to…read morelose weight on my own and failing, I finally invested in a Personal Trainer-- Lauren was recommended to me by a friend. I began with her at 183 pounds, and 6 months later I was down to 141! She taught me how to properly fuel my body, and didn't let me make excuses when things got hard. Lauren doesn't just help you lose the weight, she teaches you a whole new lifestyle. I was completely ignorant about nutrition before working with her. The experience has made me a better woman, mother, and wife. I have energy again, and I feel good about myself for the first time in 10+ years. I NEVER anticipated being a person who enjoyed working out-- but I CRAVE going to the gym now. Working with Lauren was one of the absolute best investments I have EVER made. If you're on the fence, just hop to the other side and give her a call. She's extremely down to earth, meets you where you're at, and works hard to personalize your individual experience!

I just wanted to lose body fat, get down to a good body fat percentage, and build new habits to allow me to live a flexible and social life while maintaining a healthy and fit physique. Over the course year year I saw great results in weight and inches lost. It was so refreshing to go in to see her over the course of a month and a half or so and see inches lost around my belly and waist while not necessarily seeing a change in the scale. She reassured me that consistency is key over and over. I had such a great experience and recommend Lauren to anyone.

When I met with Katie, she reviewed my food logs and helped me see why I was not achieving my fitness and health goals. She breaks things down into easy to do small steps and is very realistic and practical in her suggestions. Katie is also extremely knowledgeable about supplements and helped me figure out how to best spend my supplement budget to support my well being. I have ulcerative colitis and she had many suggestions for improving my gut health that have led to me being completely in remission as of a few months ago. I learned that I am gluten and dairy intolerant and Katie has helped me figure out how to navigate social situations and also how to reduce my carb intake to lose weight. I am still working on putting all these suggestions into practice but I look forward to seeing the results and continuing to work with her in the future.

I committed to working with Johnny during one of the most difficult times in my life which was a divorce. It was time I 'rebuild' all areas of my life, as my world was completely upside down.

During this time Johnny guided me in all areas of personal development; spirituality, confidence, masculinity, communication and presence. I had no idea the importance of any of these areas until I met Johnny. Session after session my thought patterns shifted, I evolved. He is truly a gifted human being...a real-life LEGEND. I highly recommend working with him.
