Revolution Fitness

Franz is an amazing coach! Really knows his stuff and does a great job of communicating the technique to his clients!

Franz is the best and most knowledgable trainer I have used for training. He is so passionate and is genuinely interested in helping each individual meet their optimal fitness level. My husband and I travel to La Jolla from Northern California each year and we kick ourselves for not having found him earlier. We both wished we could stay and continue training with him. His group classes are intelligent and intense. There is no mindless workout while the trainer checks his phone at this studio. You will learn, sweat and feel fulfilled.

Franz and Revolution fitness are incredible if you help to reach your fitness goals. Like most people I have areas of my fitness that are weak and I’ve used compensation patterns to achieve basic movements like the pull up. Franz was able to identify this weakness immediately and devise a quick and challenging workout that has been strengthening and correcting my imbalance. By employing dynamic, compound movements, I have been able to make maximal improvements with minimal time spent working.
If you have fitness goals that you have yet to reach I highly recommend you see Franz at Revolution Fitness so that you can achieve them in a fun and highly skilled environment, with a true expert of his craft showing you how.

This is an amazing facility. Our family came in together (father: desk worker and recreational fitness enthusiast, mother: equestrian trainer, and daughter: competitive dancer). We were looking for a different workout, and we got one. Jim was our trainer. Above all, Jim made sure we were performing the exercises safely. He also took the time to explain why we were doing everything. He spent the additional time to inspect our form, and point us in the right direction. He stayed with us the entire workout, and gave us individualized attention. I’m definitely not 100% at it yet, but I’ll be back whenever I’m in town!

Enjoyed my workouts here. Will be back next time I’m in La Jolla!

They are absolutely amazing. Great workout and quite addicting. I’m working overtime right now and haven’t been able to make it for a week and I contemplating going to their 6:45 class so I can get my workout in, which for a lazy person is a huge achievement.
Try the group on or the Unilocal coupon, it will be so worth it!

Yoana is an amazing trainer and is very helpful and detail oriented. I am a native La Jollan who just discovered kettle bell training, and have to admit just how addicting and how well it really works.

I’ve been going to Revolution for 7 months! It’s been great! Franz & Yoana are very good at what they do!

The Best Trainers ever for Kettlebell!
My friend gave me a certificate from Groupon as a Birthday gift last year. It was the best gift I could have ever received. (Thank you TIna!)
It took me out of my normal routine of going to use the equipment at the gym, and they taught me how to do my first SWING!
They really take time out to make sure you are doing the moves right, so you do not injure yourself. I couldn’t do a squat very well, and Yoana helped me practice the move right. Franz does the same thing! They are both amazing trainers!
I tell everyone I know about Revolution Fitness, Franz & Yoana!

I’ve been going to Revolution for two months now and I just have to say it’s AWESOME! Franz and Yoana are great trainers who focus on technique and believe in quality over quantity. They plan their sessions so that you get a good mixture of strength and cardio while also using exercises that go through a variety of body motions. The facility and equipment are well kept and clean! Can’t say enough good things about this place.

This is the perfect place to try the Kettlebell for the first time. RKC certified Franz and Yoana are very knowledgeable in respect to the human anatomy and how to prevent new injuries from occurring. They can also help you work on old, recurring injuries from coming back. If you have any concerns about an exercise the staff will work with you and find a solution. Having recently moved to the new location on Fay Ave, the studio is more awesome than ever. Look for discounts on Groupon!

LOVE this workout! LOVE the trainers. I just finished my groupon deal yesterday and can honestly say I’m sad my sessions are over! They make the workout fun and the hour goes by SO fast! I highly recommend trying this place out!

I just took my first class Monday and I love this spot. The instructor helps with every level of fitness throughout the class. Moves are explained in detail and I got a great workout. I am hooked.

Purchased a Groupon with my sister and decided to check this place out last night. We were a bit hesitant having never worked with kettlebells before and figured everyone else would know what they were doing and we would be lost. That was not the case at all! More than half of the students there were girls also never having used kettlebells before. Yoana taught us the proper way to use them and boy did we get a workout. Don’t bother going if you don’t plan on pushing yourself! I felt like I accomplished more in the hour workout we did last night (I think it was the beginner/​intermediate class) than a weeks worth of just running on the treadmill at the gym. This place is definitely hardcore yet female friendly! We are both looking forward to using the rest of the classes on our groupon!

It’s hard to find a better trainer than Franz at Revolution Fitness. It’s as simple as that.

I have been in the fitness industry for seven years. I am currently a general manager of Aire Urban Fitness in downtown San Deigo and I really can’t say enough good things about Revolution Fitness. Franz and Yoana were instumental in helping me get to the fitness goal I wanted to achieve. At the time it was an Russain Kettlebell Certification (RKC). Franz and Yoana were kind enough to share there knoweledge and expertiece with my friend George and I and it proved to be invaluable as I am now an RKC. There level of knowledge and experience should be recommended and if you are serious about your fitness goals I would seriously check out Revolution Fitness.

I needed to buy kettlebells for my home use, and ordered them from Revolution Fitness over the phone. When I came down to pick them up, Franz was holding a class, yet still had time to assist me with my purchase. It was a great experience, and I look forward to doing more business with them in the future.

I am a healthcare executive from Arizona on business in San Diego. I workout at an elite training facility in Arizona and know of the Revolution Fitness team because they trained my trainers on kettlebells. I sought out Franz and Yoana because of their reputation as elite national trainers. They have a great studio that is easily accessible in La Jolla (just a short drive from my hotel near my business meetings in downtown San Diego). They lived up to their reputation. The workouts were exactly what an executive looking for results expected. They are experts and deliver high quality service. I recommend them to those coming to San Diego on business or for pleasure. Two thumbs way up!!!

This is the best place to get fit fast! Kettel Bells are amazing and this «gym», though small is the best place I have encountered to learn how to use them! Franz and Yoana are so passionate about helping people reach their fitness goals.
I highly recommend their group class mwf at 9:30 am for an hour. Wow! The facility is perfect. Honest and nice, their passion for health comes through each time one works out with them. This is 100% a five star fitness facility.

I’ve known Franz and Yoana for a number of years and have gotten glowing reviews from all of the people that surround them. They host a national (possibly) international strength competition called the Tactical Strength Challenge that i’ve competed in since 2006 (
), and they have opened up their facility on weekends to do it for very little money, if not free.
Everybody that walks out of that place has a smile on their face. Their commitment for fitness and a sense of harboring a healthy community among all those they come in contact is obvious to all who pass through their doors.
I feel it would be a waste of time to talk about their fitness knowledge, because they are constantly learning and evolving. As a fitness professional, i’ve recommended tons of people to go there if they want one-​on-​one private instruction in a myriad of goals, from fat loss to sports performance. They pay attention to their clients and the results show.
Thanks Franz and Yoana for doing what you do!
