CrossFit Escondido

Very warm and welcoming! Thorough coach-led warm-up and post-WOD mobility 🙂

Em is great! Very good at explaining what you're supposed to do, how you're supposed to do it, and gently helps you when you need it. She's awesome!

After small break for the holidays it was great to get in a great workout thanks to DJ.

Hannah is an amazing teacher and was able to manage even a large class. She gave great tips during class to make sure my daughter and I had correct form and we also felt motivated and encouraged! Great workout and super fun!

Coach Emily gives the best workout overviews. Other coaches, but especially DJ 🥸, need to take notes. With a number 2 pencil 📝. I find that I have the least amount of questions after one of her overviews and thus feel comfortable going into the WOD. She does a good job of going through the workout examples sequentially, which is easy for me to follow Coach Emily is patient with encouragement as needed, but also fair and honest in the workout, so that everyone is pushing themselves to the pace that the workout is designed to be pushed at. On a very subjective level, I enjoy the trust she gives me, and when she brings her dog 🐶

Emily provides great overview of the movements to ensure proper form, helps modifications when needed and is engaged during the workout. Thanks Emily

As always, Chris is full of energy and positivity, which makes the class feel like a breeze, even when it’s not at all easy.

I love taking classes with Chris Wellman. He’s always attentive to each one of us, which makes me feel safer from getting injured and confident that I’m doing the exercises correctly. He also motivates us to give that extra push.

Loving the group workout sessions with DJ. He’s got a gift for motivating and inspiring you to push harder, but to also make you feel completely comfortable modifying and listening to your body to not over do it. I feel like I get a really great work out - that sore the next day but I can still walk normal and function kinda feeling! The programs are really well designed too, and I’m never bored. Loving the sense of community as well, everyone really supports each other. See you there!!

It was my first time doing Crossfit but Coach Dj was awesome, very helpful and motivating. Will definitely come back again.

emily is great!! supportive friendly and outstanding at modifying the workouts to my beginner level she is wonderful

Great informative class. I always get in a great workout! All these coaches are helpful and understand we want to get in a good workout

Dan always watches out for me. And is quick to scale the work out to fit my abilities.

Emily is truly amazing!!! Always takes her time in teaching us the correct way to stretch and WOD. Couldn’t ask for a better coach!

I love DJ’s vibe and coaching style. He keeps the humour going throughout the class. I also really like how he explains each movement and how it affects the muscles being worked on.

Thanks for your encouragement on this tough class 😅

Always enjoy your class! You always explain everything well and our warmup prep for the days workout is excellent. 🙌

It was a challenging yet achievable workout with a variety of exercises. We had the opportunity to increase the challenge based on our individual desires. As always, Chris provided a positive environment to get it all done.

Coach DJ was great. From the warmup, to the skill and to the workout, he explained everything well and to my understanding. Made class fun, even though running sucks lol. It was a great class.

Hannah did great! She warmed us up well and did a good job with a larger class demo’ing the movements and providing good scaling options.

Awesome... Breaking down the workout and reps scheme was perfect and the warm up was just right..

Dan frustrates me but he is so good about breaking down the moves. He sees my frustration and pushes me further. I appreciate how much he helps me complete the moves correctly even though I’m frustrated. Thank you for helping me today, your guidance really made a difference.

10/10 always !

Movements are always thoroughly explained and well-coached in an EJ class!

Emily is an amazing coach! Explains the workout perfectly and helps me with my technique!

Thanks Chris for the personal attention and suggestions. Look forward to coming back.

Emily is an outstanding CrossFit coach! Her instructions are clear and effective, making every session both productive and enjoyable. I truly appreciate how attentive she is, always ensuring I maintain proper form to prevent injuries. Thanks to her guidance, I feel confident and safe during workouts. Highly recommend her fun and engaging classes!

Such a good class! Will be back sometime soon, and again when we’re back in town for Christmas!

Great job. Helpful and supportive.

Emily did an excellent job coaching this morning. Coaching rope climbs to a large class can be challenging, especially with such a broad range of abilities. Emily broke us into two groups so one group could work on basics and the other could focus on climbs and decent. After working on technique, we reviewed the WOD and got down to business of squatting and sweating. Good class!

Nice motivating and helpful

Really appreciate the breakdown of each movement and tips throughout. The lighthearted atmosphere makes the workouts fun!

Always love encouragement, and tips on how to improve! Thanks 👍

I came in not anything. I was nervous because I've never done this kind of exercise let alone any workouts. My first day was supposed to be just "checking it out" but I stayed instead and tried it out. Dj was super understanding and very professional. Making sure I was alright and not pushing myself, even though I think I did haha. Overall 2 days experience were really good. Absolutely going to come back for the real workouts!!

She is super duper nice and helped me scale the workout to what I could handle. Was very encouraging and really explained how to do things well :)

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ “Hannah did a fantastic job coaching the Friday 8am CrossFit class! She was very instructive, gave clear direction, and took the time to provide personal coaching and feedback. Great energy and attention to detail—highly recommend her classes!”

It’s always an amazing experience to interact with all the CrossFit Escondido coaches! All of them, thank you!

As great as always

She’s awesome! Very hands on. Compassionate and kind when she corrects you.

I always like when DJ coaches. He’s very informative, great energy, positive attitude and just very knowledgeable when it comes to teaching and coaching any of the movement’s.

Coach Dan is always well prepared and pushes the class to be the best they can be every session.

What an awesome coach and what an amazing workout today! So many good vibes at this gym. Had the BEST workout, thanks so much for having me.

Had a blast for my first drop in. Great class and workout. Thanks for having me.

Amazing as always. I appreciate that she is hard on me

AMAZING super welcoming and helpful l. gave some great tips!

Emily is an excellent coach! She describes the workout and performs each exercise, showing the proper form. More importantly, she continues to watch and correct individuals, when necessary, during the workout. We're always appreciative of her guidance and concern for our improvement and our safety.

Emily was absolutely amazing. I am a beginner and she was very kind and welcoming. She was very patient as she helped me through all of the movements, making sure I had proper form. Gave me great feedback as well. I had a wonderful first day at her class!

As usual fun and challenging! A great way to start the morning. Thanks coach DJ!

DJs energy gets me pushing even at 6am, and finds just the right challenge to meet ne at my level, but continuing to make me work. Thank you!

She did great. Focused on having the class warm up the area needed for the workout. Explained the wod step by step.

Great class, efficient warmup, precise technic demonstration

It was my first time at CrossFit Escondido and Carrie was the trainer. She made Lauren and I feel welcomed and made sure we felt included. It was a great workout and will be going back.

Emily is an amazing coach and person. She is engaging, helpful, supportive, encouraging and thorough.

Casey is really hitting her stride with SHC and today gave a couple cue on stones that were really helpful/insightful. She is also always down the wrassle an errant, squirmy baby when needed💪🏻

Coach was great! Helped me with my form, kept it light and fun, clear instructions, awesome workout, fun music, kiddo was playing in the kids area having a great time too. Thanks!

Super welcoming & helpful with explaining movements I’d never done before during the shoulder mobility portion. Also very helpful with cues for the split snatch

Emily was great and supportive. Well be coming back to her classes

Emily explains the explains the exercises clearly and helps with any modifications I need. She is a great motivator and keeps class entertaining.

I liked the variety of work that we were able to do today. Chris is a good coach who motivated you. 😉

Excellent instruction, coach took time with the warm up and explaining key points to the workout, good vibes, all around top notch.

Carrie was great!

Chris is an awesome coach! Explains everything well, watches our form throughout the workout, and very encouraging …and has amazing patience :)!

I truly appreciated the clear communication and encouragement that DJ provided that led to me attending my first CrossFit class. I enjoyed the first morning class I attended because I was able to challenge myself through the workout but also go at my own pace.

Fun day today

Emily always does a great coaching job. She is thorough and disciplined in explaining the program and techniques. Also makes time to provide each class member with feedback on their form. Is much appreciated!!

Chris was awesome! Super inviting and helpful. Very knowledgeable and made me feel very comfortable! I will be coming back to CrossFit Escondido! Thanks Chris!

I’ve been taking Sweat classes at CrossFit Escondido, and I can’t say enough great things about Coach Chris Kenyon. Even though he’s relatively new, Chris brings an impressive level of knowledge, energy, and professionalism to every session. He’s incredibly kind, supportive, and always takes the time to make sure everyone is moving safely and getting the most out of their workout. What really sets Chris apart is how fun and approachable he is. He creates a welcoming atmosphere that makes you actually look forward to workouts! Highly recommend taking a class with Chris at CrossFit Escondido.

Chris is doing a great job as a coach, very encouraging and works with you to make your workouts as comfortable as possible.

Coach Dj is always extremely helpful! Every session he coaches allows me to be comfortable with not being at the top level but my level and just work on improving each time. Having an encouraging coach makes all the difference.

Great gym. DJ is awesome. If you’re visiting you should drop in. If you live in the area you should join!

Coach Mia is a powerhouse of positivity and knowledge! Always uplifting and encouraging while breaking down movements with clarity and expertise. I really enjoyed how she incorporated mobility at the end of our workout today! Really seeing that PT aid position come in handy !

I think coaching CrossFit might be the only thing Dan knows how to do well.

Fun Saturday! Thanks Dan! 👍🏼👍🏼

Great!

Great gym! Lots of space and equipment.

DJ was great! It was my first time doing CrossFit and he made me feel very comfortable and was able to critique my form without being overbearing. Would recommend!

Really have been enjoying the workouts and the community built in the SWEAT classes! Challenging but modifications are always available, Chris does a good job explaining the movements.

Excellent!

Mia is an amazing coach! Her work outs push you and she is an encouraging coach. I always feel great after Mia’s class!

Conlan is an incredible coach. He is lighthearted, yet knowledgeable. He is calm, yet present, and is always walking around and giving corrections as needed. Today was a great example of that. It was a tough workout and he was so positive and encouraging throughout.

Mia is a great coach!

Always does a great job teaching the movements and helping me scale appropriately!

Coach Emily is the bomb! I’ve been doing CF forever and I still learn something new from Coach Emily every time. The atmosphere of this gym is amazing, a fun place to be and always a great workout.

Chris is always supportive and

The only coach I could pick was DJ but Chris did a great job today. I enjoy his coaching very much.

Great space and atmosphere. Will be back

Great day back at CrossFit. Conlan did an awesome job of coordinating the class with so many people.

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!

I really liked the detail in the warm up and the ideas to improve during the lifts.

She was very helpful and I love how friendly everyone is.

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

Emily always brings the challenging workouts, with encouragement to match.

It was fun and challenging for me. Looking forward to the next class.

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.

Emily is an amazing coach! Her energy, motivation, and dedication make every workout both challenging and fun. She’s always attentive to proper technique, ensuring we train safely and effectively. Thanks to her support✨ She’s simply the best!”

Had a great first class. The atmosphere was very inviting and I’m excited to come back!

Coach DJ always pushes you to work harder but is also very supportive. Everyone at the gym consistently provides encouragement. I really enjoy the community atmosphere at this gym. 👍🏼

More hip hop!!

Coach was awesome as always !!

Chris is the best, he is professional, has a great sense of humor, is very knowledgeable and he does care about you and how you are doing things properly without hurting yourself by exercising.

Excellent class. Great instruction and feedback throughout.

He did a good job on helping me work on my kip and bmu

Every class I attend I enjoy. The coach is very knowledgeable and sets me up for success. It all starts with a great warm up to preform for the WOD.

Class was great, awesome programming following a holiday. Dj gave some helpful pointers to help when the lift got “heavy”.

Emily brings such a great energy every day. She is incredibly knowledgeable and does an amazing job finding ways to convey that information to all levels within the class. Highly recommend Coach Emily and CrossFit Escondido!

Good energy for being a early class. Great movement prep, lift coaching and skill work. Highly recommend. Looking forward to the next.

As always, Coach Mia's infectious energy, unwavering enthusiasm, and unconditional dedication create an unforgettable experience in every class.

Conlan was the coach today. I always enjoy his classes and would recommend to anyone. He gives a lot of great feedback throughout the workout.
