Love training at Liber8! Since joining, I've made incredible gains in my fitness journey and feel stronger and more confident than ever. The classes are well-structured, there are great morning and evening options, and I love that the hybrid classes include dedicated stretching. The coaches are awesome and the community is super welcoming no matter your level. Highly recommend! read more

I have been coming to Liber8 for 7 or 8 years now (time flies when you're having fun!) and can not recommend it enough. The trainers & community are so welcoming & offer workouts for all levels of fitness. Whether you are just trying to be more active, or reach heavy lifting goals, they are here to support you all the way. I used to live within walking distance and have since moved away, but still make the drive every day because it is worth it. If you're contemplating trying this place out, do it! You won't be disappointed. read more

If you're looking for more than a gym, but a community Liber8Fit is your place! So welcoming and just the push you need to improve and exceed your goals. Super educated and friendly trainers and coaches. Can't recommend enough!! read more

This place has felt like home since I walked in. One of the most inclusive and welcoming gyms I have ever been to. Love that it is locally owned and within walking distance of my house! The variety of workouts each week keeps things new and fresh. Also love that they offer hybrid classes (HIIT + yoga), yoga and mobility options. read more

This is my favorite place to workout in San Diego!! I love the HIIT class style workouts. I also love the hybrid class which includes high intensity training followed by a yoga flow to cool down. The trainers are knowledgeable and helpful every step of the way. I look forward to coming here everyday not just because of the challenging workouts, but because the sense of community makes it feel like home. read more

This is a great neighborhood gym I've been going to for 3 years, all staff and members are super friendly. Workouts all start with a stretch both before and after which I think has made all the difference in my workout routine enabling me to workout harder and more often without injury. read more

I found Liber8Fit through class pass, I took one class and I was HOOKED. I've been a member for 6 months now and I LOVE IT! I love the variety of classes, supportive coaches and environment. I was at another gym in LA before where all it promoted was supplements and training to basically be a body builder. This gym is not that at all. Liber8Fit focuses on lifestyle changes that are SUSTAINABLE! I have seen changes and improvement in my strength, agility and endurance! So thankful to all the trainers who have helped me so far! read more

I've been going to this gym for almost 2 years and I love it. The group workout setting is fun and challenging. It's not like other gyms where testosterone rules the air, rather it's a community and everyone is respectful of each other. Angela and her team of trainers are so knowledgeable and kind. They don't make you feel dumb if you don't quite have the move right. Instead they are patient and helpful to ensure you have the right form. They have a variety of classes for strength building, cardio, functional movements, yoga and specialized focus circuits. Also - if you ever need modifications, they are there to make them to support your needs. Angela keeps it fun by offering challenges regularly throughout the year to help you laser focus on your fitness or health goals and to keep you engaged. I feel like it's a true gym family. read more

I been a member at Liber8 for almost two years and can't say enough good things about the gym. The trainers really know their stuff and are great at pushing members to be their strongest selves. The community is very welcoming and there is no weird agro gym energy. The workouts are challenging for even the fittest, but they are not so intimidating that you can't complete them. There are enough classes offered throughout that day that I can always find at least one time slot that works with my schedule. read more

Almost a year later and I'm still lovin' Liber8Fit! It's definitely become a second home and the workouts are challenging everyday. I'm lifting a lot more heavier weights than I ever thought I could and meeting/making a lot of nice, kind, and motivating friends! read more

Great place to workout! All you have to do is show up and the workout is on the board for you!

I've been a member for almost 9 months now at Liber8Fit and my only regret is not starting sooner! They offer different types of classes such as circuit training, low impact classes, hybrid classes that include circuit training & yoga, and my favorite class called Guts, Butts, & Cuts. I love that the classes are different every day and the workouts are carefully planned throughout the week. (This is huge to me because I'm no longer wasting time at any standard gym trying to figure out what I'm going to do to work out..which almost always led to jumping on the elliptical for too long and barely touching any weights) Classes are 45 minutes long (1 hour for the hybrid) and offered in mornings and late afternoon into the evening, which is perfect for scheduling when I can work out depending when I have work. I have never felt stronger in my life. I am building muscle I didn't realize I could attain before I joined this gym. The coaches are extremely helpful and once you start going consistently they know just how to motivate/push you/give you heavier weights =) because they can see your potential or just know how much you can probably really lift. THEY KNOW. read more

If you're looking for a fun and welcoming class-based gym with the best vibes and something for everyone, look no further! Liber8 is an awesome and inclusive space for people of all ages and fitness levels. All of the trainers are motivating and kind and I love all the different types of classes they offer throughout the week! Pricing is reasonable, but the connections you'll make with yourself and others by going to Liber8 are priceless. 10/10 rec! read more

Where is the 6 star button? Ive been working out here for the past year or so. I love it, the workouts that Angela the owner puts together are really tough AND really enjoyable. The environment is great in that there are people of all fitness levels in the class, and there is a real camaraderie between all the people working out. For the record I have been on and off working out for the past 25 years, and never more than 2-3 times/week even when I was serious about it. With Liber8 I work out 5-6 times per week and am excited about going each and every time! read more

Still LOVING this gym!!! The trainers, the workouts, the community built around it ! I can't say enough good things about this place!! Everyone motivates each other, trainers and members alike! Without it, I wouldn't still be going to an over-packed gym, not being able to use the weights I want and being so intimidated that I would just stay home. But instead, I've chosen the best place possible, feeling stronger than ever, and exercising more than I ever did before. If you want to try a gym that will tailor workouts to your level, but still push you to do things that you never thought possible, this is the place to go! read more

I've been going to this gym for a few months. The atmosphere and structure of the place is dope. Personally I've seen so much growth with myself in my health and my ability to "be better". The best part about this gym is that they push you without being invasive or over the top. The people that attend aren't "over the top" like aggressive gym people. You really feel a sense of community when you're here, it's great for your physical health but also your mental health too. Annnnndddddd it's Women owned too #liber8yourself read more

Liber8Fit Underground - Circuit Training Gyms Near Me - San Diego, California

Liber8 is truly the best gym I have ever been a part of. The entire team of trainers are all so kind, knowledgeable, very approachable, and relatable. The gym itself is a welcoming environment and the members are real, down to earth people. This is the perfect spot for anyone looking for a good workout in a safe and welcoming environment. A lot of gyms these days feel intimidating to walk into, but Liber8 felt like home from day 1. Cannot recommend enough! read more

I absolutely LOVE this gym! I started out with the 2 week trial to see how I would like it and week 1 I fell in love! Since Day 1 I felt welcomed and quickly felt apart of the Liber8 fam. The workouts are great! A little bit of everything and every time I go leave I feel like I got my butt kicked (in a good way)! The community of the gym is wonderful. Alyssa and Angela are great coaches. They are both motivating and encouraging. Truly is a place I wish I would of found a long time ago. read more

It's been almost a year since I've joined and I'm just as excited about this gym as I was on my first day. The workouts are challenging and varied. The gym members are a wonderful group of humans. And the trainers are everything you could ask for. They genuinely care about you and your progress. This is a no frills, fun, and innovative gym. If you're looking for a new place to try, I highly recommend you give this place a shot. read more

I absolutely love this gym! I had been walking by for a couple of years and then a friend of mine suggested I tried a fitness challenge! I loved it and immediately became addicted! The staff is so inspiring, motivating and supportive! Being part of this community has really made my year! read more

Super cute training studio. The owners are attentive and the workouts change daily. They offer intro specials as that is how I found out about this studio so I like the fact that they allow you to try before you commit to purchasing class packages. Music is fun and they play lots of remixes. They also make sure you have proper form when lifting and doing some of the circuit moves. You can tell they care about their clients and follow up to make sure you have a great experience. read more

If you're on the fence about checking out Liber8 I'd suggest buying the 2 week pass for $20. Throughout my fitness journey I've gone to Orange Theory and Barry's. I left both of them because of the culture they've cultivated-just wasn't my thing. I came to Liber8 for 4 sessions before leaving San Diego. The sweat was worth the work! Very warm and welcoming culture here-definitely not something you always get. I will definitely drop in for classes whenever I'm in town. read more

Libert8Fit is my favorite gym! I've never known a place to have both circuit training and yoga in the same work out. And I never knew how much I needed yoga until I started working out here! Trainers Alyssa and Angela are so friendly and welcoming. I no longer dread going to the gym, because I know Alyssa and Angela will be there to encourage and support me with my fitness goals. The circuit training by trainer Alyssa is awesome! Each month she has a different routine, that way we aren't working out the same muscle groups every week. Last month we alternated between metabolic conditioning and strength training. A few months ago, the work outs were split into cardio days and strength training days. It doesn't matter what the work out is, I always end circuit training feeling exhausted (in the best way possible). What's nice about the hybrid classes (circuit training + yoga) is that after circuit training, I don't just walk to my car feeling ready to pass out from the exercise. Instead, we go right into yoga with trainer Angela, where we stretch out our muscles and focus on our breathing. Because of yoga, my muscles are not as sore or tight after strength training days. I absolutely love the yoga because it relaxes me but also pushes me and my flexibility. (Just the other day, I did my first headstand!) Overall, Liber8Fit is one heck of a gym! The workouts are great, but what really makes this gym so special is the community. I always feel so welcomed and everyone is so encouraging! read more

Joined for just a month to see what it was all about and I got hooked. In the last 5 weeks I've lost 8lbs of fat, gained 2lbs of muscle, lost inches in my waist and I FEEL AMAZING. If you've never tried HIIT (high intensity interval training), this is the place to check it out. Angela and Alyssa make you feel like you're really a part of the L8F family... body positive and encouraging with people of all shapes/sizes/fitness levels/ages and best of all its challenging! They know how to push you to your limit and perfectly modify exercises based on your limitations. What to expect!!! They start promptly, so make sure you get to class 5-10 minutes early. There is plenty of street parking nearby, but just be careful not to park in a tow-away spot. Their website has all the pricing, and they usually have a newbie deal of $20 for two weeks. I promise you... YOU WILL SEE RESULTS. Alyssa's workouts are intense HIIT style circuits that will leave you in a sweaty mess and feeling like you literally just conquered the world. Angela offers a few different styles of yoga... Prana flow, HIIT yoga, and Yin. I've never felt more fit and in tune with my mental space. The combination is a perfect blend of muscle stressing and replenishing. Essentials - Don't forget your yoga mat, water bottle, sneakers, and a towel (you'll definitely want the towel ) read more

I have been attending classes after work to complete my stress cycle and clear my mind. I truly admire, respect, and am inspired by the staff and community of Liber8fit. Everyone is inclusive and welcoming-- I loved that I could enter a gym to focus on myself without feeling judgement over my body. I have attend many male owned gyms and left because their unsolicited opinions on my body. I felt truly safe every class, empowered, and they always remembered my name. If you are looking for a gym to meet people, build strength, and be praised for progress, sign up! read more

AMAZING gym for strength training. I love that the classes are 45min and that the trainers take time to stretch before and after. It's a very sweet community of regular people taking care of themselves. The gym feels clean, the trainers are friendly but still push you, and it's well-priced. Exercises change each class and stay interesting and challenging. Having a walkable gym for UH Residents is such a value-add to the neighborhood. Very grateful to this gym for the gains I'm seeing in my fitness in just a few weeks. My favorite class: "Guts, Butts, and Cuts" on Sat mornings! read more

This place is pure magic. The staff, the community, the variety of workouts... Never worked out with any regularity until I checked out this place while seeking a locally owned gym that had the right vibe for me: challenging, warm, and not pushy. Now my body and mind greatly look forward to this respite from the normal day to day activities and nonstop chatter of the brain. And another bonus is the owners invest a lot of energy into facilitating connections among its members through social events and team challenges. Thanks Alyssa, Angela, and everyone else that contributes to the wonderful experience of being a member here. read more

I started Liber8 Fitness A few weeks ago and I couldn't be happier. The trainers are awesome and provide a variety of routines, and workouts. The girls are very friendly and always stay positive. They work you hard, and have fun challenges throughout the year to keep you motivated. They have a variety of workout equipment as well and utilize it to the fullest keeping workouts updated and new. read more

I found out about L8F through a friend who purchased their groupon. I love circuit training because I'm a fan of structure, so I went ahead and got the groupon as well. I'm now in my 3rd month of membership, and can only say the best things about this place. Alyssa and Angela know their shit. They're professionals in their fields, and I love that they not only are good at what they do, but they also make it fun for everyone else. Circuit training, HIIT yoga (which is a game changer, btw), a hybrid circuit/yoga class...they do it all. And I have never regretted going to any of their classes- yes, even the ones at 530am. What keeps me happy here is the variety of workouts- they change their themes monthly, so you're always trying new things. And what keeps me coming back is the sense of community. I cannot stress enough how awesome it has been to meet some really great people here. Not only that, but we regularly will have outings for hikes, beach bootcamps, and we've even done the Alzheimer's walk. I love that I actually want to hang out with my fitfam outside of the gym, and highly recommend this place to anyone who is ready to put in the hard work to get results! read more

I love this gym so much! Angela is everything you could want in a trainer and an amazing business owner. I feel safe and valued here, and I love the workouts! read more

I cannot say enough amazing things about Liber8! Alyssa and Angela are so passionate about helping you achieve your goals and they are so welcoming to anyone who enters the gym. I immediately felt like part of the "fit fam" at my very first class and they really do all they can to build a sense of community among the members. Aside from partnering up for some of the workouts and cheering one another on, they also coordinate free events outside of the gym to bring people together, such as ultimate frisbee at the beach, hiking Cowles Mtn, a trip to Six Flags, etc. Getting to know others at they gym has been wildly helpful in keeping me motivated and held accountable. As far as the classes go, they will kick your butt!! The workouts are always different and incorporate strength training and cardio in a way that makes it fun, yet exhausting. The coaches really care about you pushing your limits and it feels as if it's a small group personal training session without the usual astronomical prices that you'll find elsewhere (ahem, F45!). One of the best classes is the Hybrid8, which is a strength training boot camp followed by 30 minutes of yoga. I love the aspect of getting both workouts back to back and, believe me, after the boot camp you certainly need it! Also, the HIIT Yoga class is different and unique - a great way to start the morning if you're interested in the 5:30am classes :-) If you're not sure it will be for you, you can't beat their special of 8 days for $8 to try it out. read more

I can't recommend this gym enough! I was in a big need of a lifestyle change when my fiancé found Liber8Fit. I came in out of shape and looking to get healthier. The classes are hard, but they are built to fit all levels of fitness. The coaches are great at making sure you're pushing yourself but keep it very light and pleasant. The other gym goers are all very nice and supportive. You never feel judged for how you're doing or what you're lifting. After seven months of going to Liber8Fit, some diet changes and a "Summer Shred" challenge that brought it a dietician to help you build a plan based on your goals, I lost 40 pounds. My resting heart rate is the lowest it's ever been and I feel great. It happened slowly over time, but one day I realized I wasn't quite dying every day in the classes! I've never been a person to enjoy working out, but I've been looking forward to the classes here every time I go. read more

Just moved to San Diego a few months ago and I have tried 4 different gyms to try to find the right regular gym for me. I spent a few weeks at each gym I tried to see what the class schedule and vibe were like. Liber8Fit is such a cool community. Classes are always different, work out is great. But, the coolest part is the way that Angela and Alyssa have built a community of really down to earth people that like to work out. Not a "bro-ey" vibe like a lot of gyms I tried. Come as you are, be who you are. Classes are usually pretty small so people actually talk to each other. Super welcoming and easy to feel like you belong there! Thank you! read more

Great gym! You can tell that the owners are really passionate about their establishment, their clients' practice, and the drive to improve overall health. The owner/trainer walked me around the studio. We did a pretty intense warm up, followed by the circuit training. We partnered up and completed an AMRAP for 11 minutes, with a break, followed by another 11 minute AMRAP. They also offer a combined HIIT class with restorative yoga which I haven't attended. Good small class if you're interested in circuit training. read more

I absolutely LOVE Liber8Fit! The owners, Alyssa and Angela, are wonderful humans and amazing trainers. They have taken such a unique approach, combining strength & conditioning/HIIT and yoga. My favorite class is the Hybrid (9:00 am and 6:30 pm), which offers both HIIT and yoga in one class. The HIIT kicks your butt and then yoga keeps you grounded and centered (it almost, almoooost makes you forget about getting your butt kicked in the first 45 minutes). It is difficult to fully describe all of the positive things about this gym and community, but I have been significantly happier and healthier since becoming a part of it. Local, women-owned, supportive, welcoming, and loving: what more do you need in a gym?! read more

So I did my two week trial of unlimited classes about 9 months ago and I have been hooked ever since! I have never paid for any gym or fitness class membership because I never thought it was worth it, but this place definitely is! The trainers here are the best. Angela is an amazing trainer and an incredible yogi. The hybrid classes consist of about 40 mins of high intensity circuit training and after just 15-20 mins of yoga, I feel so zen and am about to fall asleep. There are plenty of classes offered throughout the day and the work outs can be as hard as you want/make them to be because they offer modifications if needed for injuries and there are plenty of different weights available. Start your two weeks now, you won't regret it! read more

This is the best gym I've ever been to! The workouts are fun and challenging. The owner is amazing. The trainers are great. The community is awesome. Go there now. read more

I've been going to Liber8 for over a year and have had nothing but a positive experience. I'm not someone who enjoys working out at a typical "gym" so love the small group classes and the "boutique" feel of the fitness studio. Every workout is fun, different, motivating, and challenging. They're always doing something new and there are various challenges throughout the year for the extra push. It's a great workout and awesome people! highly recommend read more

I've been going to Liber8Fit for a year now to primarily stay in shape on those days when I can't surf. I've seen significant improvements in my overall fitness, strength, and endurance. It's a very supportive community, with tough, challenging, fun and versatile workouts that are suitable for all levels. The workouts, community, and the overall vibe have made it into my weekly routine and I am always looking forward to go! read more

Gaining 20 lbs after a double mastectomy was like throwing salt in my breast cancer wounds! Liber8Fit has lit that spark in me again to push my body and mind past the limits this last year set in front of me. Their Hybrid class (HIIT + Yoga) is basically 45-minutes of me pushing past frustrations of what my body can't do as well anymore and 30-min of me thanking it for being here today. Alyssa's dynamic workouts are never boring and always challenging in the best way. She always has something up her sleeve. Angela's guidance in yoga is natural and calming with the perfect mix of mindfulness and real-life application. I'm loving this place and can't wait to keep showing up for myself. read more
