This review is way overdue…read more I started with Evolve back in November of 2020. I was 5 months postpartum, in a body I didn't recognize nor feel comfortable in, I felt incredibly weak, but I was ready to put in the work to feel better. I searched open gyms in my area and Evolve popped up. After a week trial I knew this was the gym for me. This is a small group weight/strength training gym. There's 12 people in each class maximum. It feels like group personal training classes. No class is the same. I've been going here for two years and not one single class is the same! You are encouraged but not forced or overly pushed. This was what I needed after having a baby as my body was still recovering. Every movement is intentional and proper form is encouraged. This gym will get you feeling strong and capable at meet you where you are at. Bo and Brietta are incredible trainers. They will encourage you as much as you need to be encouraged and have a way of letting you do as much as you are able. Everyone has different limitations and abilities and that is recognized and supported here. They always provide alternate movements when needed. They are both approachable and easy to talk to. I remember talking to Bo about breastfeeding when I was in that phase of my life- can't forget to mention that he encouraged me not to cut calories to keep milk production up, which showed me he wasn't just about weight loss results. Brietta is a peach - kindhearted and has the shape that can motivate any woman to train with her. Another thing I admire about this gym is the people. Every shape, size, age, color. They are all here. Everyone is positive and motivating. I've even made some friends here. So, all that to say, try this place out. You'll meet a new community of people who have similar goals as you. You'll be encouraged to move at your own pace and evolve as your body feels ready. For those mamas with new babies - come! You won't regret it. Oh, one more thing. 15-20lbs down and feel stronger than ever. In case you're into stats. ;)

I started coming to this gym about 6 months ago. I decided to join a friend for an EPIC race and…read moreshe invited me to come train with her on a "Bring your friends and family Saturday". That Saturday I had the best workout of my life! The workout itself was awesome, but what made the whole experience was how welcoming and awesome Coach Bo and all the other gym members were. It was such a fun and relaxed vibe where you can joke around and be serious at the same time. I loved being able to laugh and push myself at the same time. At the end of the workout Bo told me to come back and check it out again to see if I really liked it. The next day. I remember texting my friends that I couldn't get up off the toilet because my legs were jelly. I was for sure coming back! Basically, the rest is history. I joined the team for the EPIC race and we all kicked ass! The whole team was super supportive of each other and really helped motivate each other. Bo was right there the whole time encouraging all the team members and keeping us motivated! Every class is exhilarating and leaves you with the best feeling of accomplishment! Bo gives everyone the one on one attention during class, making sure you're using correct form and getting the most out of your workout and staying safe. The gym added yoga with Coach Darlene. I was super nervous the first time, but she is such a great leader and really helped me feel comfortable! Since the pandemic, Bo has gone into overdrive making sure we are all connected and getting the same great experience we would get in the gym from home. He has twice daily live zoom workouts and has all the workouts available through our group You Tube in case you miss them. He has our app set up with daily workouts you can do in addition or in place of the live workouts. Darlene does yoga zooms twice a week and we also have a wellness zoom available. What more could you ask for?! One of the best decisions I have ever made was joining this amazing gym family!

Coming from a yoga background, I never expected to fall in love with Crossfit. However, I agreed to…read morego to KDA with a friend whose deltoid muscles I envied to see what her secret was. What I found was so much more than just "working out" and "gainz" (although who doesn't love a PR?). The coaches at KDA are so knowledgable, positive, and supportive. Safety and alignment are primary emphases, which jives with my personal philosophy as a yogi. The coaches critically assess your form and help you grow as an athlete with their attention to detail. Also, everyone I get to work out with at KDA is so cool and welcoming; the sense of community helps me achieve far beyond what I thought I was capable of. I genuinely enjoy going to KDA and I learn something new each time I'm in there. So, to those of you in your sad, carpeted apartment gyms doing bicep curls while watching CNN: go to KDA, trust the process, and let it transform you.

First off, I need to give a huge thank you to the KDA family for being so welcoming! I am forever…read moregrateful for the extended family I have here in San Diego. The coaches are all very knowledgable about fitness, mobility, as well as preach and live by proper movement. I enjoyed the fact that if I needed a little extra attention in mobilizing, or extra attention perfecting a lift, they had all the fixes you could need and they aren't afraid to tell you how to move better as well as you didn't feel you were being rushed, to stay within a specific time limit... Which ultimately will make you lift more, run faster, be more functional, or just live a little healthier. The gym offers quality coaching for people from all backgrounds and levels of fitness. Perfect environment for the person who just hasn't moved and wants to start, to the person who aspires to make crossfit a sport, or even the person who just enjoys fitness and being fit. There is no doubt that visiting this gym would be worth your while if you have the opportunity! I am already looking forward to my next chance to come back and visit, workout, eat some gummy bears, and just hang around these great people! #KDAfambam #hylete #bmbx #steppingupmyIGgame #dogphotobombs #gummygainz

The classes are 9 people max, so it's not crowded. You each have your own station where you have the exercises listed for you to accomplish, demonstrations on how to perform the exercises, guidance on how to perfect your form, and they time it perfectly so that you get each station (there are 3) done in time. I have seen the most positive changes in my body since attending classes here - stronger, toned, and no pain from performing an exercise with bad form. If you are searching for a new gym with planned classes and knowledgeable coaches, I highly recommend giving this one a try!

All the trainers are great each one has a different personality and style of training so it's nice to get the variety. And they all truly care about your personal goals. They give you modifications if you have an injury or when you're feeling like you need to train harder. The owner, Danny, is always looking for feedback so he can cater to his clients schedules and lifestyle, also looks for ways to build a community for us. They make you feel like family. And when you really commit with their nutrition recommendations the results are amazing. The other clients are great. It's nice to see familiar faces and to see people making progress on their goals. I love that they incorporate some alternative classes once a week. I can't wait to try the yoga. The virtual live zoom workouts have allowed me to have some routine/normalcy during this crazy difficult time of world wide viral war. I need someone telling me what to do and how my firm is and to push me harder. FitMo fam definitely does it for me. Thanks guys for keeping it going!

I joined fitness in motion 6 weeks ago and it was one of those decisions that is changing my…read morelife!!!!! I am a 22 year old college student and I wanted to do something to start having a strong and fit body that I loved. I tried many different fitness programs in San Diego, but I had never been completely motivated to follow my coaches suggestions and to not cheat. The day I went in for the info session at Fitness and Motion, the coaches showed me before and after pictures of their clients and I thought "wow! they look amazing... if they can do it, so can I." In 6 weeks I have lost 11.5 lbs, gone from 27.4% body fat to 24% body fat, and lost over 3.5 inches off my waist. I think those numbers speak for themselves. I have a sweet tooth, but the coaches really motivated me to sacrifice sweets and give healthy food a chance, and I surprised myself in being able to do it! What makes their program awesome is how holistic it is, the trainers KNOW that to be healthy you need to workout but also need to eat healthy and sleep. They give you tips on how to not fail, like on what you can order at restaurants, or what snacks are good to have at your desk or purse that will actually aid in your nutrition and weight-loss. I will continue to go to Fitness and Motion because I see the results of their method on a weekly basis. The facilities are super clean, and you do not get that sweaty gym smell that some gyms have. Great music choices for the HIIT workouts. The only drawback for me is that they share bathrooms with the other businesses in the general area, but just bring your flip flops to shower there and you should be good. If you actually join them, I suggest being very open and communicative with the coaches. Tell them what you struggle with (whether it is eating or doing cardio on your own) and they have effective solutions and strategies for your struggles. I personally trained with Aurelie and Stephanie. They have great workouts to tone your abs and waist area. But most importantly, they really care that you get your results and that you get healthy because they care about you. They learn everybody's name and meet with people to establish new goals once the old ones are accomplished. I have no doubt that if I keep working hard and doing what they tell me to do I will get to my goal of body fat percentage very soon. Thank you to Fitness and Motion and the staff for starting me in the beginning of my new lifestyle and for being a such a supportive group of coaches. #FitMo #FitmoFam

She is so warm and welcoming and she genuinely looks like she's enjoying what she's doing. It's not just a job for her but a joint journey through fitness. I am not athletic and had embraced my sedentary lifestyle for decades... until now. Through Jen's Foundation course and Build Together course, she's taught me the basics on how to get stronger, healthier, and athletically smarter. She touches on the science behind how and why we should do specific motions. Then demonstrates amazing examples on what poor vs correct techniques look like. She isn't shy to correct my form (but in a fun, encouraging way). Classes are small so you are guaranteed attention and personalized feedback. Guaranteed she is your #1 cheerleader through it all. I'm so happy with how far I've come in just a couple months. I've already signed up for her next cycle! Also, quick shout out to Trainer Leslie and her MomFit class! I dropped in on a few of these and this class is also great. Leslie has a keen eye on catching even just the smallest adjustments for improving your form. It's always a great time at CrossFitSun
