    Soul Plunge has become my sanctuary. I look forward to vinyasa and cold plunges every week, and the benefits I've felt from consistent practice have been incredible. Such a special space.

    You hear all the craze about breath work and cold plunges, but to experience it yourself truly demonstrates the value and benefit! I've been in healthcare for almost 20yr and from a medical and biological standpoint, it makes sense what breath work and cold plunges/infrared sauna (contrast therapy) can do. I have done multiple modalities of self-care from exercise, sports massage therapy, compression therapy, foam rolling, energy healing, and sound therapy which have all been valuable, but breathwork and cold plunges create an immediate shift in your nervous system to help you reduce inflammation, stress, anxiety and quickly readjust your focus. I've only taken the signature class which is a guided breathwork class followed by a cold plunge and infrared sauna session. I've taken about 5 classes with the owners Mia and Matt, and I found it to be extremely valuable and have always appreciated the energy of the group and the release I've achieved afterwards. Mia and Matt guide you through 3 types of breathing exercises: - Box breathing: traditional yoga-style breathing where you breath in for 4-5 seconds and breath out for 4-5 seconds - 4-7-8 breathing: breathe in for 4 seconds, hold for 7 seconds, and breathe out for 8 seconds - holotropic breathing: rapid breath that they refer to as the "mountain climb" where you take 2 breaths in, 1 breath out, or 1 wave-like breath in, and 1 breath out The holotropic breathing is designed to help you release blocks and facilitate emotional healing, growth, and spiritual exploration. It can be difficult to sustain, and is only done for a short period of time but can cause a "heady" or lightheaded feeling as well as tingling sensation in extremities or other parts of the body. Some may also have other physical responses such as laughing or crying. Depending on the intensity of breathing and duration, every person's experience will vary. They play awesome music that compliments each breathing exercise which really helps you stay focused, especially during the mountain climb :D They also may provide hands-on support, if needed. At one of my session, I was having quite an emotional response, and I appreciated Matt coming to encourage me. Class is in a beautiful room with sound bowls and a lovely starry sky projected above with blankets, yoga bolsters, eye masks, and essential oils to make you comfortable. Bring your own yoga mat and towel otherwise both can be provided for a small fee. Pair the breath work with contrast therapy (cold plunge & infrared sauna) after and you're giving your mind, body and nervous system a complete "reset." The cold plunge can definitely be a shock (that's the point :P), but it's well-worth the benefit! Altogether it will give you a feeling of release, relaxation, and reinvigoration. It can also really help with sleep! Because of the simplicity and guidance that Mia and Matt provide in this class, I've been able to do the breathwork on my own at home, and have the same response. It's definitely not as enjoyable as class since you're in a community and sharing energy with others, but I greatly appreciate having the tools readily available to exercise this at home, if needed. The front desk staff has always been very friendly, and the studio is always well-kept and clean. I do wish the storage space for personal items was a little easier, but understandable given the setup/area. Parking is on the street but generally it hasn't been an issue, although I'm sure it can depend on the day and time (e.g. farmers market). I have asked other members about the other classes and they always have very positive reviews! Mia and Matt have created a very sacred and inviting space for you to discover another path to plunge and realign with your soul. Definitely don't miss out on supporting such an amazing, fabulous small business and wonderful community!

    I did contrast therapy - 45 mins class. This was my first time doing it and I'm completely addicted! The infrared sauna is extremely spacious and relaxing. The cold plunge was clean and I noticed a worker constantly maintaining the area to make sure the whole studio stays clean which I liked! Also the studio itself is super cute. Will definitely be coming back.

    Beautiful spot, very trendy and aesthetically pleasing. Plunge feels clean. Staff was friendly.

    Really clean facilities and very helpful staff. A very nice quiet gem to take time to reset and relax within!

    Wow! This is my 2nd time here and I love it! The cleanliness is off the charts. Everyone time someone moves from a location, someone is coming behind to make sure everything is how it should be. The vibe is everything and you feel so rejuvenated walking away! I was skeptical to do any sort of cold plunge, but this place has convinced me to continue to back!

    Wow! What a incredible experience from booking a session to leaving. The owners, Matt and Mia are truly amazing people. We were guided through our cold plunge and given a full tour of the establishment. The small touches and soul they put into this place has made it unforgettable. Cant wait to come back and visit!

    Riffs Bird Rock is hands down my favorite yoga studio in San Diego! (I have ClassPass, so I've…read morechecked out a lot of yoga studios. And I like this one so much I bought a class pack here.) Their Ocean Beach location is nice too, but really sets this one apart is its outdoor deck. I've always believed yoga is exponentially better when it's outdoors, and the vibes of this outdoor deck are immaculate. I love practicing in the shade under the coverings, among lots of plants and nice classmates (everyone I've encountered here is lovely). Every class I've been to here, from vinyasa to slow flow to hatha, has been basically perfect. Also, parking isn't too bad, and I love Bird Rock. My favorite thing is stopping by Calumet Park before or after class, since it's only a couple blocks away and offers a killer ocean view. Whether you're a seasoned yogi or you've never tried yoga before, I would definitely recommend checking out Riffs! It's both accessible for beginners and authentic for those who are more into yoga.

    I've been here multiple times. Great studio, very clean and with an awesome vibe. I love being…read moreoutside and I especially love the area at the back of the yoga space where you aren't quite under the canopy and you can look up at the trees. I also love the little altar that they have set up on the steps in between the instructor and the deck where the students are practicing. They always have it decorated with seasonal items and it's so pretty. I really enjoy the instructors. Today was Asia and she always teaches such an engaging flow. I also enjoy the classes with the live music. What I'm not a big fan of is the wellness area they have set up behind the studio in the grassy area adjacent to the yoga deck. They do cold plunge out there during the class and to be honest, I find it distracting. During today's class there was someone in the cold plunge in the beginning, fortunately that person was very quiet, but I was aware that they were back there. There have been other times when I was there when there were people in the cold plunge and they were laughing and talking while the class was going on. I get it that the studio is in the heart of Bird Rock that there is other noise from the street, from the taco shop next-door, etc. But to have the distraction in the space you are practicing in is not ideal. When I checked in at the front, the girl who had me sign the waiver asked me if I was aware that they had a wellness area behind the studio. I told her yes, and that I was not a big fan of it. She told me that they are brainstorming ways to separate that area from the front of the studio more efficiently. Hopefully they come up with some solutions!

    This review is long overdue! I originally came here for an event, but I stayed because of the…read morepeople--the coaches and the community are just that good. I'm truly grateful to have found a functional fitness gym that complements my marathon training and is helping me rebuild after taking two years off heavy weight training. The classes are super structured and always well explained, with built-in modifications if needed. One thing I love is that each station has a TV screen showing the movements, so even if you forget, you always have a visual reference. The programming is intentional--it keeps you from getting overly fatigued or risking injury, while still challenging you to push hard when it's your turn. The rotating group format includes rest blocks that give you just enough time to recover and hit the next set strong. I love that part so much! The mix of cardio and functional strength is solid--it never feels like too much of either, and the balance is thoughtfully spread out throughout the week. And the best part? It's a real community. Everyone is genuinely supportive and here to help each other hit personal goals. Parking is super easy, too! There's a convenient lot behind the building shared with Harry's Diner, plus plenty of neighborhood parking nearby, so I've never had trouble finding a spot--even in La Jolla. The facility itself is insanely clean, well-stocked with PT and mobility tools, and clearly designed with so much intention. I don't even live in La Jolla, and I still make the commute--it's 100% worth it.

    Loved the workouts. The contract games are a damn shame…read more Let me tell you something. If you've ever dragged yourself out of a warm bed at 5:45am, looked in the mirror, and thought "today's the day I stop being a before picture" -- these trainers will meet you there. And that's the honest truth. The training at Fitstop La Jolla is the real deal. Classes start on time. They're efficient. The energy's positive. Nobody makes you feel like a sack of laundry for not deadlifting a Buick. The trainers are the whole reason this place works -- encouraging, locked in, they meet you exactly where you are. A few of them are flat-out spectacular. They pay attention. They actually care. As a guy showing up to 6am classes trying to turn things around and start crushing life, I felt supported every single morning. No notes. That part earned five stars. Couple small things, and I'm barely complaining. The music gets... lyrically adventurous. If you've ever done burpees at 6:15am while a grown man on the speakers describes things you wouldn't want said about your daughter -- you might train at Fitstop. But hey, they want it edgy. Who cares. Not my hill to die on. Here's my hill. I tried to leave. And here's the kicker -- I did it right. I gave the exact 28-day written notice their own contract spells out, in writing, by the book. You'd think that'd be the easy part. You'd be wrong. Instead of "got it, here's your last day," I got the runaround. By my read they're billing me nearly a month past what their own contract says I owe -- a 28-day notice somehow turned into a final date that doesn't line up with 28 days from anything. And when I pointed out the math, the answer was basically "no discrepancy," with no real explanation of how the dates work. Upton Sinclair said it best: it's hard to get a man to understand something when his salary depends on not understanding it. And let me be real clear, because this is the part that matters. This is NOT a "read the fine print" review. I read the fine print. I followed the fine print. The problem isn't the fine print -- the problem is they don't honor what's in it. If you've ever followed a contract to the letter and watched a company wave off the math with "no discrepancy" -- you might be cancelling a Fitstop membership. And that's the shame of it. I liked these people. The fitness side deserved a way better review than this. But it doesn't matter how good you feel at 6am if you walk out the door at the end feeling like you got worked over. You can build all that goodwill at sunrise and torch it at the billing desk. Honor your own contract and this is easily four stars. Great trainers. Just know that when it's time to leave, that's where the workout really starts.
