Invictus Fitness

Kim was fantastic as per usual. I am not an “athlete” don’t strive to be an athlete. I’m constantly injured and find basic tasks like putting shoes on to be difficult. Going to the gym often feels like- why bother if I can’t do anything? However, the second I get there, Kim makes it all worth while. She always finds a way to give me a great workout and more importantly for me- makes it fun! Every coach is fantastic as well :)

This is the best gym I’ve ever been a part of! The members are friendly, welcoming, and supportive. The coaches are talented, encouraging, and they take time to help each person in class.

Very encouraging! My girlfriend and I loved it!

I really enjoyed the workout at Invictus Fitness because Drew tailored it to my ability, which made me feel included and ultimately successful. He took the time to assess where I was physically and adjusted each exercise to match my current strength and stamina. Instead of pushing me into moves that felt overwhelming, he modified the routine so I could complete every set with good form and confidence. That personalized approach not only kept me engaged but also made the whole session feel achievable and rewarding. I left feeling like I had genuinely accomplished something, not just gone through the motions, which motivates me to keep coming back.

Always a great class when I drop in. Well run class Thank you

Coach helped focus on form and was generally encouraging and funny

Cardio programming is great. Fun class environment, good music, big space with lots of equipment.

Everything about it was great ! Programming, coaching, facility! Everyone was super nice and helpful !

Really well coached. Slide Pad was a cool addition I didn't know. Spicy workout

Really appreciate having a coach that can program around my needs and injuries as I get older. Monday morning session with Fritz is always a great way to start the week.

Wish is excellent. He asks for feedbac and takes that information into consideration while training us.

Great coach (Fritz) , helpful and really made the experience enjoyable. Made me feel welcomed. The rest of the group seemed great and positive as well.

Kirsten is amazing! Great class!

Kim M.’s coaching . . . *chef’s kiss*

Found Invictus a couple months ago and absolutely love it. I have been training for Hyrox and they have a 5am class that works perfect. Staff is great and knowledgeable and very helpful with working with you towards your goals! Look forward to putting in some work every morning!

I always enjoy class with Aush! Aush always has very mindful warmups and great suggestions for scaling or RX+. He keeps class moving and fun, even when herding the “cats”. I appreciate his subtle cues and encouragement especially during Oly sessions.

Amazing coach!!! Thank you Fritz!!

He’s great, always!

Kirsten was absolutely awesome. I was nervous to get started and she made my first class comfortable and a success. I look forward to attending again.

Across the board Invictus coaches keep things upbeat and fun. The warm ups and WODs are intentional and effective. Best way to start the day! :)

Fritz is always great at providing customizations during class and direction on how to approach the workout. I especially like that he tells us what our perceived effort should be during the workout so I can gauge my output. I’m always happy to see him on the schedule! :)

Coach Drew was super inviting and made me feel very welcomed. Great coaching cues and super personable. Thank you so much for the hospitality.

Coach Fritz never fails to amaze me. His commitment and dedication to this establishment is outstanding. Coach Fritz ensures you understand the workout and will make adjustments as necessary to ensure you receive the best possible result from your training.

Holden R is an amazing coach! Really enjoyed his coaching.

I love the hyrox programing!

Fritz is the best. Very patient and encouraging. Always gives great advice and cues. I can count on him to give me good scaling options to help me get the best out of the workout. Thanks for everything, Fritz. I love his music choices as well haha.

Amazing

I had an amazing class today at Invictus CrossFit with Coach Kirsten. She was super supportive and helpful throughout the workout, making it fun and challenging. Really appreciate her guidance.

Great feedback from Drew! Drew pays attention to technique, and has a great positive attitude.

As always, Aush brings a genuine, human touch to every session—building real connections with members while consistently offering expert guidance on form. His presence is both supportive and empowering, making every workout feel personalized and purposeful.

As per usual Coach Aush crushed the game! Love our Invictus fam! Thanks Coach Aush!

Phenomenal! Aush brought on the gainz with a playlist to match.

She’s awesome! Maybe the best coach ever!!

Great! A nice mix of giving corrections and motivation to push you through the workout

Great Class!! Coach Fritz was very helpful and provided new insight. Everyone in gym was helpful.

Fantastic

The atmosphere at the gym was always upbeat and welcoming—it truly felt like my home away from home. I’m grateful I discovered a InvictusCrossFit gym during my time in San Diego.

Drew is a great coach!!

Aush is great. He explained the program, guided us through a good warm up and got us off to a good and timely start to fit within the time frame of the class. As alway we adds levity and makes the class fun.

Drew was terrific as always!

Kisha keeps it real. She gives helpful advice without sounding condescending. She’s friendly and genuine.

Always great

Great programming!

Nuno was extremely helpful without being overly involved. I told him that I was not very good at doing split jerks and he gave me a few rounds to warm up and then came over and watched and corrected me and gave me good pointers to improve. He was very vigilant during the whole class, making sure everyone was doing things as best they could. He is very lighthearted and ensure that everyone understands the goal of the workout and how to achieve that. the members of the gym were not just welcoming, but hospitable and really cared about the state that they work out in and the people go there. I just love it here!!

Kim is always great, today's kudos was when I was working on an accessory exercise and one adjustment she made changed from feeling in my back which is a no no to feeling in my butt which was the target. She is always there for encouragement and preventing injuries.

Drew is always engaging and super helpful.

Class was great BUT I have two small complaints. 1. The fan by the front desk has been put away since last week. It was dangerously hot today. I have been getting lightheaded from the heat 2. Toddlers running around the class, swinging on the rings, etc. There are strollers too but it’s not as big of an issue if the parent is there with it. But kids running around is dangerous for them and the athletes. This didn’t happen today but it happens often

Kirsten, Aush, Nuno and Fritz are amazing! I will forever miss Sandy!

Amazing! Great coaching!

Excellent! Kirsten is one of the best coaches from a perspective of addressing form and ensuring a high energy, fun atmosphere. Part of the reason i try to never miss a Tuesday.

awesome !

As a drop in from Australia, Kristen was great and made me feel part of the crew. Picked up a few tips to take home to my box.

Fritz is the man.

Great! Love how invested he is with our group and mindful he is of our health and training

Kim is very nice and talented in the gym. I always am treated to a smile.

Adding the body building equipment and the new programming is great!

He was friendly and welcoming. I enjoyed dropping into this gym. Great workout and large facility with lots of equipment. I was glad to be able to buy a healthy meal to go as well.

Great overall experience! So glad this was my first class. Fritz created a welcoming atmosphere. From greeting me when he was in the middle of a class to introducing me to the other person in our class. His attention to my form and effort to connect with me stood out. I felt encouraged without being pushed.

Everyone was super kind and friendly. I met 3 coaches within 10 minutes of walking in and all were extremely nice and seemed interested in me. Class was great (I knew it would be) but I also just felt really welcomed. I can be super shy in new situations but I didn't struggle with that because everyone was so welcoming. I loved it and wish I I could come every day.

Amazing! She is the reason I make it to the gym in the morning.

Fritz is awesome! He’s great at coming around and giving personal training tips!

Welcoming staff! Made it really easy to drop in and crush a workout

Drew is an excellent coach to work with. During today’s class he was attentive and encouraging. He pointed out my improved ability to perform pull-ups and wall sits. This shows me that he’s continually taking mental notes of the athletes in his class.

Drew is amazing! From great ice breakers, warm ups, skill or strength work, stimulus and work out strategies/scaling options, and the best post WOD stretches.

Drew loves bench! Great pointers to improve. Always brings good energy to class.

Always extremely knowledgeable, corrects my form to help me improve without injury, and provides modifications for movements if needed.

Great warmup, great modifications explanation, great energy for 6am on a Monday morning

Awesome, as usual! I love coming to Invictus when I am in San Diego, everyone is so welcoming. It feels like I am a part of the community.

Great coach and amazing atmosphere!

Excellent, energetic, encouraging, helpful pointers, A+ all around!

Just started but the made me feel super welcome. Especially big shout out to Fritz! Can 100% recommend the place if you look for an awesome gym with a great vibe

Nuno is always correcting my postures and pushing me to do better! He’s helped me jump higher or do heavier weights sets, it always good to have someone push you and get you out of your comfort zone ☺️

I always visit in Vine whenever I’m in San Diego visiting my sister. The vibes there are high and the energy is so good. The workouts are always on point (just hard enough to make you wish you’d slept in ) and every coach is helpful and motivating. I’ll be back!

I would rate all coaches 5/5 easily. I've been to many crossfits over the past 10 years of working out and its hard to explain the difference - coaches here actually care, watch, and adjust your form. Learned more in the past 3 months than I have in the past 5 years

Sandi is awesome! She is such a caring and dedicated coach, always looking to make a difference even in the small way with every athlete.

Did competition class programming on my own. Great programming. Enjoy the weightlifting and workout variety.

I always learned something from Sandi. She really pays attention as you perform a lift and gives you pointers that help you. She also had a great suggestion to focus on one thing each time so that a complicated lift can get better and better each time.

Waking up at 5 am to work out is challenging, but Aush makes it not only manageable but enjoyable. His deep understanding of how the body responds to exercise ensures that every workout is both effective and safe. Beyond his technical knowledge, Aush's ability to communicate complex movements clearly and provide constructive feedback has been invaluable! His adaptability allows him to tailor sessions to my specific needs, ensuring continuous progress. Aush's motivational skills keep me engaged and committed, even on tough days. His passion for fitness is evident, and his commitment to my success has changed my approach to training!

Great class! Fritz was incredibly welcoming and gave me some awesome cues to improve my snatch. Wish I had more time in SD to come back!

Kim was great and checked in with me to make sure I knew where everything was. Thanks for having me! Looking forward to coming back soon :)

Sandi is the best coach!! She always motivates me and is very knowledgeable is what she does. Definitely one of my favorite coaches!

Always love taking Nuno’s classes. He’s fun and energetic, and I appreciate him checking in on me/my goals/progress.

Great job! Love the coaching pointers!

Nuno was an amazing coach and made our drop in so fun and memorable. He gave me a good cue that no one had ever told me before on my push press and I am very appreciative! The class environment was spot on and we thoroughly enjoyed our time there. Thanks Nuno!

Every class with Fritz is excellent!

Sandi is absolutely amazing! She has a great approach to each person in a class. Sandi makes me feel very comfortable.

Such a wonderful lovely person. Looking forward to be Back at this box. Loved going to class under her leadership.

Aush is great! Thorough with instructions and always happy to help with movement alternatives when need be. Great energy to be around and couldn’t ask for a better Hyrox coach!💪

CrossFit Invictus is truly an amazing experience. Having trained at multiple CrossFit gyms, I can confidently say that the coaches here are the best I’ve worked with. Sandi and Kirsten deserve special recognition . They excel at providing clear, effective instruction and cues, ensuring each athlete performs movements safely and efficiently. Their energy is incredibly motivating, and they create an inclusive environment by offering scalable options for every workout. Whether you’re a seasoned athlete or attending your very first class, you’ll feel welcomed and supported in this positive, high-energy atmosphere.

Sandi is always a welcoming face at Invictus. Not only that, but she is actively trying to make every member better. Sandi is great with helping to improve my technique, while giving great words of encouragement! Thank you Sandi!

From the moment you walk through the doors at CrossFit Invictus, you’re welcomed like family. Virginia and the entire front desk team bring such a warm, professional, and organized energy that instantly sets the tone. They keep everything running smoothly and always greet you with a smile—no matter how early or late your session is. Co-owners Kim, Karen, and the leadership behind Invictus have created something truly special. The community they’ve cultivated is built on excellence, support, and a relentless commitment to personal growth—both physically and mentally. You can feel the intention in every detail, from the programming to the people. And the coaches? Unmatched. Trainers like Nuno, Fritz, Kirsten, and the rest of the crew bring elite-level knowledge, motivation, and care into every session. They push you, challenge you, and educate you—while also making it fun. Whether you’re an experienced athlete or just starting out, they meet you exactly where you are and help you rise. Invictus isn’t just a gym—it’s a culture of strength, resilience, and connection. I couldn’t be more grateful to be part of this community. Highly recommended to anyone ready to level up in every aspect of their life.

Love Drew’s friendly energy and humor! He’s very attentive and provides great feedback on form and technicality.

Kirsten is an awesome coach, she always brings great energy and strategies for each workout. I think it’s really cool that when she sees something in your form/technique that can be improved or changed, she asks questions like “does that feel okay?” or “is there a reason why you’re doing X instead of X?” She leads you to find the best solution for yourself instead of handing out general advice. She’s like a therapist for your muscles and it has really helped improve my health and performance. Thanks Kirsten for being awesome!!

Aush is a great coach and always helps improve technique and provide modifications. I enjoy the classes he teaches.

Robert made feel so strong! Thank you for great coaching!

Sandi is hands down a top-tier coach — she is incredibly knowledgeable, motivating, and genuinely invested in every member’s growth. Her technique when coaching is spot-on. Sandi creates an environment that pushes you to be your best. Absolute joy to have Sandi on your CrossFit coaching team.

Kim always does an amazing job. She makes classes fun and interesting. She is somehow capable of making a full rowing class an enjoyable experience. Her attentiveness and care to athletes is unmatched. Showing up to class and seeing she is the coach means you will have a fun and challenging workout!

Drew is very knowledgeable and he really helps customize my work out when I feel I am struggling or my body needs some extra tweaking during an exercise. If you ask him for help he will help you. He’s also kind and a hoot. I enjoy my classes at Invictus. 💪🏾🙌🏾

Great coaching. Great explanation of the different variations that could be done. Also caring about helping and getting to know everyone in the class

Coach Sandi is very knowledgeable and had an answer to all my questions. I’m not entirely comfortable with some workouts, so she provided variations that made it easier for me.

Maddie brings great energy to the gym with her bright attitude and enthusiasm. She has an innate ability to meet you where you are, be present to you and your ability, even in a big group setting. She always takes time to help you improve and think about what you’re doing.

Is always happy to be at the gym and always makes everyone else feel good for being there too. I appreciate the kick in the pants every once in a while to go harder or heavier. An encouraging coach.

He was great! Loved the warm up and specific cues

Amazing, an irreplaceable trainer!

Engaging, knowledgeable, personable….Kirsten was awesome. She knows her stuff and coaches us so well. The workout was challenging and fun. This is why I come to class!

It was a fun workout but a lift component would have been nice before the conditioning part.

Sandi is very encouraging and she gives great cues! She takes the time to help me understand correct form in weight lifting and I really appreciate that. I love having Sandi as a coach! She is very knowledgeable, positive, and fun!

Great workout! Nuno always making sure we always reaching that stimulus and suggesting alternative things for the workouts 💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽

Training with Drew has been a great experience. He is attentive, kind, and genuinely interested in his athletes. During each session, he makes sure to correct postures, give personalized advice, and motivate you to give your best. Plus, his sense of humor makes the workouts dynamic and enjoyable. He is always paying attention to every detail to ensure you progress safely and efficiently. Definitely a coach who makes a difference!

Great energy, vibes, and MADDD coaching skills.

Aush led an intense class that left my legs burning. He does a good job of keeping the timing for each of the sets in the AMRAP

Fritz is a fantastic coach. I work with him a lot and there is a reason for that. What Fritz does particularly well is find a balance between constructive criticism and praise. He identifies when I master one skill and then progresses to the next. This is particularly good for me since the Olympic lifts are challenging and there are many, many things to master to get them right….and when I do get one right, it is extremely satisfying. Fritz also always has a “grand plan” in place. I never worry about why I am doing something (he usually tells me anyway)…I have trust and confidence that HE knows…and that is the important part.

So supportive and sweet!

Coach Sandi is a great coach, and I love working with her at Invictus! She is always super constructive in her coaching to help me improve, but she also is extremely encouraging and supportive! She is a great coach and just a great person! Invictus is lucky to have her on the staff!

Sandi is the best! Love having her coach. She pushed me in the last bit of wallballs today and it helped so much.

She’s amazing as always. She is energetic, easy to talk to, inclusive, knowledgeable, and I love her as a coach!

Easily 5 stars. He's always attentive to all the members of the class. Besides general encouragement, he often offers suggestions for how to improve (or correct, hah) technique, as well as providing options for substitute movements to accommodate injuries or other limitations. Super positive attitude!

Kirsten did an amazing job today, as always! She gave me a correction on my deadlift that completely changed the game for me. With just a small adjustment, the pressure and weight shifted from my back to my legs. I really appreciate her coaching!

Kirsten is always pushing me to do more (heavier lifts, better quality) while having fun doing it.

Her coaching is always spot on and terrific! I love her energy and precise coaching :) She noticed a habit I haven’t noticed myself for years today and I really appreciate that!

He is awesome!!!

Excellent!

Easy going, fun, super knowledgeable coach. Always gives me feedback about form which I really appreciate and need! I notice Aush looking out and connecting with each of us even when managing bigger classes.

Great job

Great energy and instruction, super encouraging!

I felt better after coming in today.

Hey Robert! Great session today! I really appreciate the energy and guidance you bring to class. The workout was challenging but well-structured. Looking forward to the next one! Thanks for pushing us! 💪

Coach Aush

Aush is an excellent coach with deep knowledge and experience. Highly recommend
