All of the coaches are a big part of why I continue to show up. Their guidance and attitude make it a pleasure to fight for my own survival on a day to day basis during the workouts. I’ve had a positive personal growth thanks to you all! Thank you!

My first week at CrossFit Escondido has been amazing! I had class with Conlan today, and he was a great instructor, he explained everything clearly, making it easy for me to progress step by step. I really appreciate his help and patience. I wish I had some feedback for improvement, but honestly, the experience was excellent for me. Thanks, Conlan!

Emily is a great coach to work with. She demos every move and watches the classes closely to see who needs an adjustment in their movement. She is also very good in giving scaling options

Haha not sure why DJ showed up as the only coach in the form drop down, but sure. Coach Dan was excellent today in a suitable warm up, and had individual feedback catered to our skill and ability during both the strength and pump portions of the workout. I personally appreciated the push and feedback on kipping pull-ups, and how to scale this going forward to continue to challenge myself. Thanks to all the coaches at CFE!

Emily is a fantastic coach! Knowledgeable and controls the chaos even with a giant class. I love how far the gym has come with the new ownership! I’m super pumped on the direction it’s going. My personal preference is workouts with more heavy lifting Olympic lifts etc. and not trying to offend anyone but I think question of the day time can be better spent with movement prep mobility or more warmup.

Today’s CrossFit Open 25.1 was absolutely five stars! Coach Mia brought incredible energy, expert coaching, and the kind of motivation that pushes you to dig deeper than you thought possible. Her cues were spot-on, helping everyone move efficiently, and her encouragement made the workout feel both intense and exhilarating. The sense of community she fostered was next-level—everyone cheering, pushing, and celebrating each other’s wins. This is what CrossFit is all about, and today was a perfect example of why I keep coming back. Huge shoutout to Mia for making it an unforgettable experience!

Emily always does a great job coaching - she is highly effective in conveying proper technique through her demonstrations and stresses safety first, which I appreciate as a CrossFit novice. Most importantly she is supportive and motivational for beginners like myself.

I can't select Emily as the coach today, from the drop down list. Only DJ. Intentional?? 😀 Coaching today was excellent. Good time management and attention to technique detail. Helped reinforce important technique nuances for deadlift. Emily always does a great job.

CrossFit is new to me. It’s challenging and can be intimidating. The reason I come back every single time is because I have upbeat and truly helpful coach(es)! I like the challenge and Dj is a huge help in making sure I am focused on my form and quality over quantity. Couldn’t be happier anywhere else!

Super. 6AM is generally not when I want to work out, but DJ kept things moving and lighthearted. (And really, once you get there, 6AM is totally fine, but therightvibe from the top down helps a lot.)
