... beach walks, rock climbing, or even canoeing in the harbor. They are deceptively a really good workout. I say deceptive because everything is fun and beautiful scenery, but also a good workout without realizing it sometimes.Second, the staff. I thoroughly enjoyed all of the training and activities, but the staff is second to none! They are honestly more like a family. They will help you with whatever you need while youre there. Seriously...whatever you need! You will get advice/training on fitness, nutrition, mental wellness, and cooking to name a few. The trainers will do whatever they can to help you not only enjoy your time there, but will also do whatever they can to help you succeed both while youre there and after you return home. It doesnt matter what your fitness level is when you get there, the trainers will do whatever they can to help you. They are the most positive and motivating people I have ever been around. And I cant tell you how much I needed them in my life at the time! They have a nutritionist and a life coach on staff who are always available for any questions or help. Lets face it, getting fit is way more than just working out. They are able to help guide your nutrition and mental habits to help you succeed. The final part of the staff machine that most people dont see is the office staff. Everyone will get to see them but not as much as the others. But let me tell you that they are the engine that will make your experience. Not only do they take care of accommodations and amenities, they are also always available to help after you have returned home. A part of this program is the care that they give you after you have left. The office will make sure you have everything you need in order to keep your experience going at home.Finally....the food. In my comments about staff, there is one group I didnt mention and that is the chef and his staff. I felt they deserved to be praised along with the food that they provide. As I mentioned, you cant get ...

Dont go here. They stopped running the air conditioning, its fine when they are staffed because theyve started opening all the doors but in unstaffed hours its extremely stuffy and too hot. Theres not very much equipment which is fine when its empty but when other people are there things get trickier and its harder to get a workout in. I stayed because I enjoyed working with a trainer that was there even though I felt it was over priced for what was available and I was shorting myself with my work out but hes not there now.Plus the owner completely changes his behavior when you cancel. Then he trys to overcharge you. In the contract it says 30 days notice and he verbally said that to my husband as well trying to get us to stay longer but then tried to charge for 60 days. He also promised to lower our rate to stay but we were charged the same amount as always not even a week later. They waited half a week to processes my cancellation and I contacted there billing company and they had scheduled a payment of $136 when it should have be $40 for the prorated 30 days. I sent a copy of my contract to my credit card company and they flagged future charges from them as fraudulant and they are threatening collections because the charge wont go through. Im not the only one he did this to multiple people had to do disputes on there credit cards when the left because of overcharging. One of my friends canceled in July and they were still charging her monthly last month. So save yourself the trouble and dont start here at all. Theyve been reported to the better business bureu and corporate.One last thing to add they also promote that they will give you a free month to your membership if you get someone else to enroll which my husband and I both did and then they never give it to you.
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!
Pilates PhysioWise - Carlsbad
785 Grand Ave #210b, Carlsbad, CA 92008, United States
I have been living with sciatic pain since March of this year. Ive tried several options and remedies to eliminate the daily pain. One day my wife gave me the phone number for Tuula and told me (ordered me) to go and see her for pain relief. I liked the fact very much that she has experience in both pilates and physico-therapy. I started working with Tuula for six sessions and found that I do not have to take pain medication anymore and that my pain became manageable. She explained proper postures and breathing techniques and constantly made sure that my unused muscles start working again in order to get to favorable results. Tuula was always so confident and caring and never lost focus that her goal is to help me to get back to my pain-free life. I am very satisfied with her knowledge and expertise when it comes to human anatomy. Please, go see her, she will help you!!!!!!
AK Martial Arts & Fitness
2011 Palomar Airport Rd Suite 101, Carlsbad, CA 92011, United States
Our seven year old twins have been attending AK Martial Arts since 2016. I was looking for a solution that would help our children learn to focus, pay attention and develop self confidence. Before choosing AK, we went to several different studios in our area, and it wasn't long before I realized that they were more interested in our money than anything else. Two-year/three-year commitments, horrible reviews from parents unable to break out of their contracts, etc. Add to that, I witnessed instructors that were acting like drill-sergeants at boot camp towards my five-year olds! I was brought up in a competitive sports environment as a child. I was under a strict regimen and coaching starting at eight and by the time I entered my teens, I was fed up and no longer wanted any part in it. The passion was driven out of me. It's a lesson that I've carried with me all my life, and a mistake I'd never make with my own kids.Well, AK Martial arts isn't like that. They are month to month. That was a big plus for us since we weren't sure at the time if we are going to need to relocate the following year. What I didn't realize at the time was what a fantastic philosophy AK uses towards its students. The first thing that we noticed with our kids was a literal transformation of behavior- suddenly, our unruly, screaming kids were much more well behaved at home. My kids actually respond to me with a “Yes Sir!” now more often then not- can you believe that?I really feel the staff at AK Martial arts are terrific people that truly care about their students. Plus they offer more than just teaching your kids “karate”. There's all sorts of different “camps” offered, parent nights out, safety training, seasonal events, an agility class and more. And probably the most important statement I can make in favor of AK Martial arts and why you would want to enroll your children: my kids never want to miss a single day. They are basically there six days a week, usually two classes per day. Not because they are forced to go, because they absolutely love being there.Update July 13, 2019: We are spending the morning here at Alga Norte Park with all the AK families having a terrific time. The instructors create such a great environment for the kids and they love coming to class day after day. No burnout! Great experience for entire family!

OTF classes are designed to be fast-paced, high-intensity workouts that focus on a combination of strength, power, and endurance. You will never take the same class twice, which has helped keep things fresh even after years of taking classes. Signature classes, benchmarks, and seasonal event challenges are also things you just dont get with a typical gym. Along with a carefully-tracked diet, I was able to lose 60 pounds over the course of a year with OTF and continue to use OTF to maintain my fitness nearly a year later.Ive found that how much I enjoy a class really depends on the coach that leads the class. The traits Im looking for in a great OTF class are excellent instructions (how an exercise should be performed, what I need to be doing at the current moment), excellent expectation-setting (what will the workout be? what will the block be? whats the next thing well be doing? how many seconds are left in this all-out run?), good timing (I have no idea how coaches keep track of 2-3 different groups of people sometimes with completely different timing between groups), and high levels of positivity. The head coach at this location, Anthony, really excels at all of these things. Id suggest any new members to take classes with each of the coaches to get an idea of what coaching style they prefer best.The front-desk staff here have also always been helpful.OTF has become essential for my mental and physical health and Id recommend it to anybody looking to improve those aspects of their life in a challenging but fun way. Just keep in mind that walking through the door is truly the most challenging part of the workout! Be kind to yourself and stay consistent and youll surely find success!
Christine Burke Fitness

The name says is all! Christines light hearted approach toward fitness is ideal for just about anyones fitness goals. She is a master at creating the perfect workout tailored specifically to ones ability and goals. When I first started working out with Christine...lets just say I wasnt fit. She made it so fun I looked forward to our workouts instead of the usual dread associated with trying to get fit. I worked out with her one on one and in a group setting and it was amazing to see everyone being equally challenged but at the same time with a smile on their faces.If you are considering or if you have ever considered a trainer...without hesitation I recommend giving Christine a call to schedule a workout. You wont be disappointed!
Kaia FIT Carlsbad
2801 Roosevelt St Suite B, Carlsbad, CA 92008, United States
I've been working out my whole adult life and I've never belonged to a community like Kaia FIT. Women of all ages that inspire and support you. Become your friends. Many different class options from cycling to cross training to barre and more. No judgment just positive reinforcement for whatever your goals are. And the instructors are all so amazing. It's really like personal training in a group atmosphere. Also includes meal planning and nutritional education. Can't recommend Kaia enough to anyone looking to work out in a safe and supportive environment.
The Fit Mill
5617 Paseo Del Norte #118, Carlsbad, CA 92008, United States
I've been part of the 5:00am crew at The Fit Mill for close to nine years now. Nine years! Only a special place can motivate you for that long. The Fit Mill is that place. It is more than a gym, it is a family. Yes, the workouts are challenging and change each day. Yes, there is a great mix of cardio, weight lifting, and core exercises. Yet, what really makes the Fit Mill unique is the community. It starts with Shanae, the owner and trainer. Her positive energy is the perfect start to the day. She offers modifications and gently corrects your form while encouraging you. She met with college-age daughter during her freshman year and came up with a nutritional plan that she still follows. My friend Alice said it best, She truly cares about everyone that steps through the doors of her business whether it's your first time or 1200th time.Shanae has created a place where members share books and recipes, fruit from their garden, and support for important causes. All while getting an amazing workout!The Fit Mill has helped me become a stronger, healthier, and more confident version of myself. I am proud to be a part of the Fit Mill Family.Thanks Shanae!

Coach Sendra is incredibly skilled at what he does, which is a variety of strength training exercises that incorporate different sports and martial arts styles. I believe that I have become more toned and strong from training with Coach Sendra, but most importantly, I have a lot of fun! Every training session is dynamic and engaging and he keeps me on my toes by presenting healthy challenges to me each time. A highlight of what he trains is when he had me practicing Kali, a Filipino martial arts style, in combination with tennis racket swings.
