In January 2023, I was in a devastating car accident that left me with a broken back, a crushed…read morehip, a broken arm, and numerous other injuries. I spent four months in a recovery home, and because my initial hip repair failed, the hardware had to be removed. I then spent 11 months in a wheelchair with no hip joint at all. In November 2023, I finally received a new hip replacement and immediately set my sights on walking again. I had one very important goal: to be able to fully enjoy a pre-planned month-long family trip to Thailand in December 2024. I'd known Shawn, the General Manager, for a few years because we worked in the same shopping center and had always encouraged me to join. Whenever I needed help at my store, he never hesitated to lend a hand. So when it was finally time to begin rebuilding my body, he was the first person I called. When I started training with Shawn, I had only recently progressed from a wheelchair to a walker, and then to a cane. Even with the cane, I was still very unsteady. Shawn met me exactly where I was. His knowledge, experience, and ability to tailor any workout for my limitations gave me confidence that I could recover. Just as important was his personality. His enthusiasm is contagious, and somehow he makes you actually look forward to working out. Time flew during these sessions because he made the process enjoyable while constantly pushing me to improve. Shawn has created a gym that is clean, welcoming, and feels more like a family than a fitness center. It's an environment where people genuinely want to be, and that made showing up consistently so much easier. Before I knew it, I no longer needed my cane. By Christmas 2024, I was doing things I once thought might never be possible again. I managed my own overpacked luggage through the airports in Tijuana, China, and Beijing. I kept up with my family as we walked everywhere throughout Thailand. I even dove off the side of a boat into the Red Sea. Less than two years after spending 11 months in a wheelchair with no hip joint, I was living the trip of a lifetime. That transformation didn't happen by accident. It happened because of hard work, expert guidance, and Shawn's unwavering belief that I could get there. Shawn has been a personal trainer for many years, and it shows. He has the knowledge to help people recover, get stronger, and achieve goals they may think are impossible. More importantly, he has the rare ability to motivate you in a way that makes the work feel rewarding instead of overwhelming. I recommend Shawn without hesitation or reservation. If you're looking for someone who genuinely cares about your success and has the expertise to help you achieve it, you won't find anyone better.

An important part of my Ramona family visits is getting to use this gym. Thank you SO MUCH, Ramona AT team, for creating such an amazing experience!!

Here's the good. The bad. and the meh. Location. The gym is…read more5 minutes from my house which is great! There is no excuse to not go when It's that close. The Personal trainers. I wanted a gym with group classes and there really aren't any in my town but AF does have trainers who work with small groups And that's a good compromise. I think my trainer is really good and I like the classes. But they are extra and that brings me to Cost: AF is not cheap and you will pay extra for the group training. A lot extra. The Red Light Bed: Great for building collagen and I really wanted this as perk. It's first come first serve which is fair but Good Luck on getting in. Anytime I have been there is someone in the room and someone waiting so that perk is useless. Super disappointing and I have simply given up on using it unless I want to drive over and take a chance it's empty. Machines: Tons of them. But I can't speak to them since I am more of a class person Will I continue going after my year contract is up? Doubtful. I don't regret signing up but all in all, I'd rather find a place that is a bit more of a drive and offers group classes that are included.

I've been coming to ADMA Elite Training for about three years now, and everything I said before…read morestill holds true -- the workouts are challenging, motivating, and always evolving. The coaches and members continue to be incredibly supportive and fun, creating a positive environment that keeps me showing up. I'm now in the best shape I've been in my entire life. The combination of strength, endurance, and confidence I've gained here has completely changed how I feel day to day. I also love how Anthony keeps adding more ways to join in -- from new Hyrox classes that are absolutely kicking my ass, to an upcoming self-defense series, out-of-gym events like kickball and ping-pong tournaments, and even just-for-fun stuff like rib cookoffs and parties that make this community even stronger. So glad this gym is in Ramona -- I plan to keep coming back for years to come. workouts that will still kick your ass (into shape) highly competent and supportive coaches regular fat-loss challenges and nutrition coaching scalable and modifiable -- it's as hard as you make it different workout every day -- nothing ever gets stale efficient use of time -- in and out in under an hour locally/family owned and operated supportive community with tons of fun, new ways to stay engaged

As someone who has traveled all across the World and visited Crossfit gyms in multiple states and countries I can say, confidently, that Neighborhood Crossfit (NHCF) is one of the BEST "Boxes" out there! NHCF doesn't advertise, doesn't constantly bombard its membership with silly Facebook statuses, and they don't feel the need to saturate our tiny community of Ramona with in-your-face signage on every fence and bus stop. Why? Because it doesn't need to. It's reputation, great community aspect and it's tagline "Faith, Family, and Fitness" do all the advertising they'll ever need. In less than 4 years, NHCF has built its community one of the largest in Ramona and continues to grow by leaps and bounds as members leave other boxes and find for themselves what the NHCF experience is all about: no pretense, no judgements, no gossip, just friends and family working out in a non-judgmental environment founded on solid Christian principles. NHCF doesn't consider itself a "competition-oriented" box and yet they had dozens of members sign-up for the recent Crossfit Open and field a kids team that has dominated the podium at recent Crossfit Kids Gauntlet and Beast League Open events. Their kids program is a work to behold and if you want your child to make new friends while getting in fantastic shape at the same time, NHCF is the place for you. If you are thinking of giving Crossfit a try, are currently at another Box that isn't a great "fit" or just passing through Poway, Ramona, or Julian, come by and give Neighborhood a try. You won't be sorry!

I've been attending classes at Align for a little over a year now, and I can't recommend it enough!…read moreComing from the world of CrossFit and high-intensity workouts, I initially thought Pilates would be an easy "break" for my body. In some ways, it has been a much-needed shift, but I was so wrong about it being "easy"--Align classes are no joke! They're challenging in the best way, and I've never felt stronger (or lighter) in my life. I even have obliques now--who knew?! I love that every class is a full-body workout, fine-tuning muscles I didn't even know existed. The Align community is also something special. I was super nervous attending my first class as a complete reformer Pilates newbie, but the instructors were so welcoming and made me feel at ease right away. Now, I'm completely hooked--and I've even converted some of my friends into regulars, too! If you're considering trying Pilates, Align is the place to do it.

With regular gyms, I know that the day of I won't feel like going, but with Alexa, I have to schedule in advance to hold my spot. This is motivating for me to go so I schedule it in advance. Also, Alexa is really patient and always very supportive. She is super encouraging and it makes for a very positive experience when working out. She never makes anyone feel bad about how they do the work, she is good at guiding, and instructing. I also like how the classes are very small so you feel like you are really getting Alexa's attention rather than just one of many in the room. I've gotten stronger every year I go skiing because of Alexa and pilates!
