Top Gym in Carlsbad
VITAL Climbing Gym - Carlsbad
6102 Avenida Encinas L, Carlsbad, CA 92011, United States
Only writing a review to set visitors expectations. If this is your local gym, then it probably is worth it to you. I came on an August evening around 6:30pm and there were two climbers and two employees. Usually when its that close to closing, gyms give you a deal or let you in for free, but not the case this time. It cost $18 + $2 for chalk and no student discounts. Usually I feel like it would still be worth it, but all of the holds were so dirty it was worse than climbing outside. Some routes didnt have starts or endings, seems like they were just relics of old routes just still up there. The grading system is by color so boundaries between grades is blended. Im not a huge fan of that, but it was extra confusing because the colors for the grades dont match the color of the holds for the route - not really mentally stimulating in the right way. Upstairs there is a loft with workout supplies, but only enough space for one person to comfortably exercise at a time. The gal working downstairs had good taco recommendations and another climber was really sweet to talk to, but the climbing portion of this gym is lackluster and needs some hold cleaning and new route-setting.
Anywhere Gym

I have been working out with Sean Salazar at Anywhere Gym for 10 years. I have been so happy over this decade.

I strongly encourage anyone who really wants a supportive trainer who really cares about his clients, and an exceptional professional to sign up with Sean at Anywhere gym.
Carlsbad Jiu Jitsu
3125 Tiger Run Ct b108, Carlsbad, CA 92010, United States
My wife and I started training at Gracie Barra Carlsbad with Professor Aaron a little over a year ago, and it has been one of the best decisions we have made. Professor Aaron is one of the most professional and respectful people and has an endless knowledge of jiu jitsu that he is enthusiastic to share with his students. The culture of the gym is outstanding - and there are no egos or tough guys - it truly is a family gym. Everyone training at GB Carlsbad is there to expand and share their knowledge with other members of the gym. I highly recommend this gym and Professor Aaron to anyone wanting to learn an awesome martial art. I cant wait until my son is old enough to enroll in the kids class.
Carlsbad Kickboxing Club Boxing Martial Arts Ac...
5751 Palmer Way Ste F, Carlsbad, CA 92010, United States
My kid attended classes at Carlsbad Kickboxing for quite a while, and my entire family ended up signing up as well.After a while, one starts to notice how much effort is put into maintaining the gyms image. Instagram page, Facebook page, and even the main website just show staff members in merch nowhere near a gym and little emphasis on the fighters. Camera angles for pictures and videos blatantly objectify people, its honestly really disappointing. One can just visit any of their social media pages to verify this.The final nail in the coffin for us was when our childs coach was fired. When my kid asked where he was multiple times to multiple staff members, none of which gave her an honest answer. One staff member even told that her coach wasnt there Because he has classes. These staff members were aware of what occurred and lied to her face, which to me is unforgivable.The fired coach went on to start a new gym, which had its yelp and Google business pages poached before the business was properly established. These pages claimed the new gym was at the Carlsbad Kicking Club location and not at the real location, which is incredibly unethical. The fake pages even respond to people claiming theyre legit. I have screenshots and are willing to share with whoever is looking to verify.In summary, the gym looks good until you start peeling back the layers. I regret joining and look forward to taking my business elsewhere.###Edit after owner response###Posting a review on your fraudulent Yelp page + this review adds up to two. Your unsubstantiated claims hopefully wont distract anyone from the facts.Additionally, its a bit strange that youre tracking where my young daughter is training and who shes training with. I highly encourage you to stop doing so.

Orangetheory Fitness
1820 Marron Rd #104, Carlsbad, CA 92008, United States
There is no other place I would rather be at 5am. Orangetheory Carlsbad has created an environment that makes everyone feel welcomed and included no matter where they are in their fitness journey. I have been a member at Orangetheory for over 4 years and I often visit other studios while traveling for work or pleasure and no other studio has compared to the Carlsbad studio. Carlsbad makes it a point to welcome every guest and makes sure that they feel comfortable the second they step into the gym. I have met life long friends through Orangetheory, who inspire me daily to achieve my fitness goals and hold me accountable. The head coach Sarah is the best there is, she continually inspires members and provides valuable feedback and corrections of form. Sarah also takes the time to get to know each member and listen to their feedback and she uses the feedback to make Carlsbad an even better studio than it already it is. Through Sarahs coaching I have improved my endurance, speed, and the amount of weight I am able to lift as well as I have seen my body transform to show clear muscle definition. Every Employee of Carlsbad are beyond amazing and kind - From the front desk, who assist you with any issue you have and take the time to learn your name and preference of location to start your workout to the other coaches I take classes with (Kiki, Mitch, Shane), who each bring a different element to the workout and enhance the amazing environment Carlsbad has created to the manager Annie, who is always available to handle any issues that arises. I tell anyone and everyone how amazing Orangetheory Carlsbad is and would never hesitate to recommend this studio. Oranegtheory Carlsbad is simply the best Orangetheory studio there is!
Gracie Jiu Jitsu Carlsbad
6108 Avenida Encinas #C, Carlsbad, CA 92011, United States
Gracie Jiu-Jitsu Carlsbad is by far one of the best Brazilian Jiu Jitsu schools in North County. The level of professionalism cannot be rivaled. The extensive wealth of knowledge, world class technique, and decades of experience under one gym makes this a unique and special place. Gracie Carlsbad is accessible to all who are interested from the novice with absolutely no experience to the seasoned Jiu-Jitsu competitor. This gym is unique in how well rounded it is because Gracie Carlsbad is also host to world class Muay Thai, jiu-jitsu classes for kids, and street defense. Gracie Carlsbad is first and foremost a family place because it is family owned and operated. Professor Nick Stefan, owner and head instructor, is a highly decorated world class competitor who has dedicated his life to his art and his students, and it shows through to all who have the pleasure in becoming part of the Gracie Carlsbad family. I cannot recommend this place enough.
Anytime Fitness
5814 Van Allen Way Suite 185, Carlsbad, CA 92008, United States
I could not be any more grateful for the team at Anytime Fitness in Carlsbad. I just completed the 6 week challenge and I am down 12 lbs and 5% body fat. More importantly, I am gaining confidence and adapting to a healthier lifestyle. I have been to many other gyms and the team and environment here does not compare. I decided to become a member and it’s the best decision i have ever made. The group classes are fun yet challenging. The gym is more intimate (which i love) and always clean. The staff really tries to get to know you, remembers you by name and small details. I appreciate everyone here. I look forward to continue to work with everyone. I, without a doubt, recommend this gym to everyone!
