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. 💪🏾🙌🏾

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.

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!

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

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!

left a review for Fritz Nugent

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.

Nuno is a fantastic coach. He gives you the extra motivation needed to succeed in class. He's also very attentive, noticing when his athletes need help and when they should be pushing themselves further. Finally, his ability to adapt exercises accordingly is outstanding. I look forward to every class I take with Nuno.

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!

Robert is always amazing. He’s a high energy guy who has a lot of great knowledge to impart on every class. 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.
