No excuses to not be fit in sporty San Diego. Possibilities for training abound and we customers…read moreare graciously invited to try new types of workouts or trainings, no questions asked. So in my quest to get to know more about Crossfit I went by mistake to Big Bricks, just realizing after walking to mega fit, ultra upbeat Glen that he was a personal trainer and not a Crossfir coach. Even with the initial confusion, he accepted my companion and myself for an hour of workout at his gym, located in the same building as the New School of Architecture. Glen has an extensive background in posture improvement and workouts that fit your medical needs. He tailors the workout for you and personal training sessions are around $40/hour/person if you are in a party of 2. I like the personal approach and the possibilities of how can you shape your body. As per the gym, is like one of those 'boutique hotels': petite but with everything, in a vintage building and with excellent views to the Coronado bridge and central library dime.

Ok so I am biased because I have worked out with Glenn around 3 1/2 years and we're good…read morefriends...but when we started working out, we didn't know each other and at the end of the day, he has gotten me into the best shape of my life. Do you want somene who will yell and belittle you into training hard, only to go home and wish and pray that somehow a bus "accidentally" hit your personal trainer? Do you want a trainer that calls you all the time to see what you are eating like a prison guard constantly searching you for contraband? Do you want to work out someone who cancels without notice, improperly bills you or says you are going to have 1-on-1 sessions only to invite several d-bags they met at Intervention to join in? Well, if you answered "Yes" to any of these questions, don't call Big Bricks. Glenn is on time, treats you like an adult, doesnt yell and scream, and if you want to work out in a class - he'll give you a class, but if you want a solo session (and he has the time available), you will get a solo session. Again, no trainer, and I mean nooooooo trainer will get you to be in shape if you don't want to, so don't expect just to workout an hour a week and watch the pounds melt off. But what Glenn does is he gives you the tools to work out correctly, talks to you about what you should be doing on your own (food/workouts) and doesn't blow smoke up your ass about imaginary results just to keep you coming back for more. As I said, I've known Glenn and have worked out with him since 2008 and it wasn't until mid last year when I finally decided to do workouts outside my comfort zone (comfort zone = treadmill for 45 min and weights; not comfort zone = workouts that made me sweat like a whore in church) that I saw amazing results and hopefully will continue to.

The facility is always clean, the staff is friendly and welcoming, and the gym has everything I need for a great workout.

If you're looking for a well-equipped gym with a positive atmosphere and excellent customer service, I highly recommend it.

I recently visited the gym for a class with Stacey, and I had a great experience from start to…read morefinish. The class was challenging, fun, and energizing, and Stacey was an excellent instructor. After class, Rachel gave us a tour of the facility and was incredibly welcoming and friendly, just like the rest of the staff. The gym itself is beautiful, modern, and exceptionally clean. I especially loved the white and tan interior design--it creates a bright, upscale atmosphere. The women's locker room is impressive, featuring lockers for personal belongings, a sauna, and a cold plunge. There are also convenient water refill stations throughout the gym. One of the most unique features is the slide, which definitely adds some personality and fun to the space! There's also an outdoor workout area in the corner for anyone who prefers exercising outside. Overall, Recess offers a great combination of high-quality fitness classes, excellent amenities, and a welcoming community. I would definitely recommend checking it out.
