Coach Kim is always so supportive and so encouraging! 6am is hands down the best class because we are a family! We show up, we throw down and we keep each other accountable to our goals! Sea of Green is Alive and Well.

Always enjoy classes with Drew! Not sure where he gets the energy and enthusiasm to always be excited to coach. Drew is very attentive to members and gives quality feedback and cues. He helps make class fun even when everyone is dying.

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

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!

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.

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.

Attending Drew's class is an experience like no other. His energetic personality and unconventional approach make every session fun. From quirky yet entertaining tunes to a lively atmosphere, he brings a unique vibe to the class. His genuine care and ability to put everyone at ease create a welcoming and inclusive environment. If you're looking for a fun and engaging class, the afternoon P&F class is the place to be!

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!!

Kim is the best and I love the motor/cardio/whatever we are calling it class. Even with a huge class, she keeps the attention and keeps us on time! She customizes everything for my broken body and makes sure I can get a workout even if I can’t follow the real program. Thanks Kim!

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.

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. 💪🏾🙌🏾

Drew’s classes are always fun. He is good at splitting his time between athletes. He is great at giving little cues to individuals who need less help, while diving deeper into the mechanics of the movements with ones who need more help. And as always, if you need a good push, he knows how to hype the group up and get us moving!

Though I follow the comp programming with tweaks for my body and age, the WODs of the day have helped me get SO STRONG and ANTIFRAGILE! Def helped for hiking the Grand Canyon Rim2Rim 24 mi in October! Would not have been able to finish the Carlsbad Marathon - my first - in terms of both physical and mental stamina! Recently, up at Mark's cabin for awhile, there was a BIG snowstorm that dumped over a foot of heavy, wet snow in less than 24 hours. Shoveling the driveway, breaking down the berm from the snowplow on the street, making trails to the front and side doors....it gave me the stamina of what is a very tough task for hours! It was so fun! I haven't been in snow like that since I was little! Thanks again so so much for keeping me ripped and fit! You rock!

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.

I look forward to every class I take with Nuno.

Helen S.

Mar 12, 2025

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!

Sael M.

Mar 12, 2025

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!

He demonstrates each movement, then as the class progresses, he keeps us on our timeline, providing valuable insight regarding how each of us is moving, and encourages everyone in the class. He is a great motivator, a wonderful asset to the Invictus community and he makes it worth getting up early to attend a class so early in the morning.
