Hardcore Fitness San Diego

Incredible life changing gym and community. This gym holds the keys to help everyone reach their fitness goals and live a better, healthier, more confident and fulfilled life.
When I walked into the gym I was terrified. I had never worked with free weights before, nor had I been active recently. I was greeted with open arms and a bounty of support from all the members.
I have been going to the gym for 2 years now — and in those 2 years life as become something I do and not something that happens. Strange thing to say — but it cannot be closer to the truth. Something about this experience change you as a person — it teaches you to own your journey!

This is not just a gym, it’s a family. It’s a place where you go to work out and get/​stay healthy, but it’s also so much more than that. The community support is amazing. One can’t fathom the true amount of support until you witness it with one’s own eyes. I’ve been a remember for 2 years now, and I’m not going any where any time soon.

Great gym, centrally located, many classes at convenient times and great customer service. Occasionally, they have special packages with Groupon or other promotionals. If you are on the fence, that is a great way to try it out. The boot camp classes go fast and you will get results.
If you need a lot of hands-​on attention, which many do in the beginning, let them know and try to go at non-​peak times. The after-​work classes get pretty full. Their classes are popular, well attended and the people in the classes inspire and make it fun. Just do it.

So much more than a gym! It’s a family! I have done (2) 60 day challenges and I feel amazing!!! I am healthier than I have ever been! I am gaining muscle and losing fat. I have learned how to eat healthy and get fit! The classes are perfect!!! The trainers are top notch! The entire program ROCKS! A second location in East County will be opening in August 2015!
5 day Free Trial! Check it out!!!

This has been the third of four BootCamp studios I’ve tried out in San Diego over the past 4 months. Of the 4 this has been my least favorite so far.
I did the 20 class pass on Groupon for HardCore Fitness. I’m glad so many others have thought this was a 5 star experience. For me it was not. Here are my reasons:
The trainers seem rude and act like you’re bothering them by being there. The first session Haley was angry there were too many people and made everyone feel guilty for coming to work out at 5:30. Give me a break. Tommy usually eats dinner while everyone works out and really pays no attention to what the class is doing. Pete if you don’t get it the first time will shake his head at you and act like you’re an idiot. Anthony was actually the one guy I really liked. If Anthony wasn’t there I think this would be a 2 star review.
The studio is far smaller than they claim it is on their Website. If there’s more than 30 people it’s pretty chaotic. I think because of the location this Boot Camp is very popular.
The people that attended the classes were really nice. I think like most Boot Camps everyone wants to maximize their hour of exercise.
Below are the others I’ve tried with my favorite first. I’d recommend any of them over Hard Core Fitness:
NXPT: All around the best bootcamp I’ve been to.
Crossfit Suspension: Outstanding workouts. More brutal than NXPT but less interaction from the trainers.
Black Mountain Crossfit: I really liked the trainers here. If you’re really interested in Crossfit and becoming a competitor, I would recommend this one over the others.
Hard Core Fitness: My experience here was not as pleasant and the others. I just didn’t understand the poor attitude of the instructors.
Hope my review helps a few of you out!

I came to HardCore on a group-​on to see if I enjoyed the gym prior to purchasing a membership, since financially it is a commitment. The gym is very central, lots of parking and a good space with all the workout goodies. Sadly, an unexpected injury made me not be able to continue on with them post group-​on.
Everyone seemed to enjoy it while they were there working out, and it seemed like everyone knew each other. Haley, who I believe is one of the owners is really nice and helpful.
If you need help learning proper form or suggestions on how to do your exercises better this probably won’t be a good fit. There is usually 20 – 30 people per class and only one instructor out of the 4 I took a class from actually helped me with my form and corrected me and encouraged me, most of the time I was just another number in class. So thats why I gave them a 4-​star. It was very apparent multiple times I had no clue what I was doing, and had to lean on other students to actually know how to do the exercise.

I am always VERY skeptical about small gyms, but Hardcore Fitness is the best gym EVER! I feel very welcomed and their staff are ALL friendly and caring. I really love the customer service and they really care about your needs.
Now they have added extra classes to suit your FIT needs and I am very happy to be a member of this amazing FIT community. If you care about your fitness goals, Hardcore Fitness is for you!!! Trust me, sign up for the free 5 days and give it a try. You will be hooked!
They also have the 60 days challenge that I swear by it. I highly recommend it. You won’t regret it.

If you are looking for that special place to get the results you have always desired this is it.
My wife joined HardCore a year ago and would come home everyday with sweat dripping and red faced. The first words out of her mouth were always «I love this place» So after thinking about how her body was transforming I decided to give it a try.
I now know why she loved it so much. Everyday there are new challenges, there are beginners to the meatheads. The trainers are amazing. They educate and correct if needed.
This is not your typical gym or boot camp. This is a community of people all helping one another reach their goal.
I Love this place

I cannot say enough good things about this gym. Haley and Tommy are the best and the trainers are amazing! They are very involved with the members and the classes so fun. The majority of the time you workout with a partner or a group so you’re not going at it alone!
Haley’s yoga classes have made me into a yoga snob. Not only is she amazing at physically opening up your body but mentally opening up your mind to positive thoughts and self love. I can’t get enough. Love this place!

we were down in San Diego on vacation and decided to try hardcore fitness. We usually workout at hardcore in Santa Clarita. Once we arrived we were met with open arms by owner Tommy Reynolds.
Tommy designed some great workouts that pushed us hard for a great workout. And he’s always watching to give you that extra motivation or push or instruct you on proper form. Nice clean facility with great workouts and great people.

HCF San Diego is amazing! Clean gym, great trainers, awesome atmosphere, and the workouts made me sweat and made me work hard! I have been working out for over a year and have lost 45+ lbs using HCF in Santa Clarita so I decided to visit San Diego HCF on vacation. What a great decision! If you are looking for a gym that gives you great results and keeps your workouts fresh and changing everyday then HCF San Diego is the place! Don’t miss out on the opportunity to challenge yourself and reach those fitness goals you have! I highly recommend HCF San Diego if you are serious about transforming your body and looking good and feeling good!

This gym is life changing!
I first walked into HardCore Fitness San Diego in December 2013. I was out of shape at 170 lbs+ and very intimidated. I tried the free 5 day trial, which many gyms do not offer. A very smart decision on the gym’s part, as they know once you try it, you’re hooked. What makes HCF different from any other San Diego gym is the amazing community and knowledgeable trainers. They take the guess work out of it and push you to be the best possible version of you. Since joining HCF less than 6 months ago, I have lost over 30 lbs and gained muscle definition. My endurance and stamina has increased considerably. It’s amazing how much stronger and faster i have become. I am the happiest I have been in years.
Yes, physical aesthetics are important, but with their help, I have made my health a priority. This is something you cannot put a price on.
Take advantage of their 5 day pass. Be prepared to sweat and feel complete and utter satisfaction as you walk out of that gym!

Cannot speak more highly about a gym experience. Ive been in and out of shape most of my life, at times just losing motivation and getting distracted. This gym has created a sense of community that I think you rarely find. The workouts are intense and the trainers are knowledgable, helpful, and caring. Tommy Reynolds and Haley May, gym proprietors, are almost always present and incredibly accessible/​easy to talk to. If you are looking to get in shape for the first time in your life, or you’re in great shape and just looking to mix it up, this gym is a great fit.

Great sense of community… trainers are rock hard and know what their talking about! Always fun and challenging. So happy I found this gym it’s top notch if you are into HIIT training. On my way to the best shape of my life.

Very inspirational!!! If you want to make a change… Go to Hardcore Fitness!
This is one of the best places to get fit in San Diego.

If you haven’t taken Haley’s yoga class, you haven’t ever really taken yoga ;) She also offers passive stretching and truly knows what your body needs WITHOUT causing you injuries like many instructors do. She is truly passionate about her work and everyone who comes to Hardcore Fitness. You can see this in the way she lives and the positive and calming energy she radiates! Thank you Haley for all your «Bliss Love» !
Be sure to start up a convo with Tommy, as well. He is the most hilarious and down-​to-​earth trainer/​nutrition coach ever! Tommy truly knows his stuff when it comes to getting you the results you want to look and feel great about yourself and to really live a healthier lifestyle. Don’t ever settle for a quick fix coach! Tommy will provide you with the training and nutrition knowledge you need for the rest of your life! You only get one. Make it a happy one ;)

Visited HardCore Fitness + Yoga San Diego on a 5 day trial pass — unfortunately, work and a cold got the best of me that I couldn’t go all 5 days. I loved it so much I doubled up on one day taking 6:45am BootCamp and then evening yoga! I love that they have a 5:30am class as well as this fits my schedule.
Haley and Tommy really know what they are doing in both providing great workouts, yoga classes, and customer service. I was greeted and welcomed in on an early Monday morning for the BootCamp class. My fellow BootCamp classmates introduced themselves really creating a feeling of community pre-​workout.
The workouts were challenging. The yoga classes were both challenging and spiritually/​physically gratifying.
Location is quite the gem! Tucked away in the back of a business plaza, they have enough room to use both the outdoors and indoors for workouts. Call Haley prior to arriving on your first day and she will give you directions on where they are in the business park. enjoy!

Really awesome gym! It is a kick butt full body workout and great for all levels so you don’t ever feel intimidated. All the instructors are awesome and really get you hyped. Love that there’s yoga and showers as well! Go check em out!

whether you are new to fitness or have multiple years below your belt — this gym is for you! The trainers have so much knowledge to share & really take the time to help you achieve your goals. With high energy classes, the time goes by fast and you feel amazing afterward :) The attentiveness to details and motivation is what will make you come back time and time again. Through the guidance of these master trainers — you will become hardcore! sooooo, the big question is: what are you waiting for? take the steps in the right direction & come join this gym! you will not regret it

After my 5-​day free trial period, I signed up for a membership at San Diego’s HardCore Fitness studio. I have absolutely loved all of the yoga classes I have attended here. The small class sizes and personalized instruction allow me to feel safe and comfortable, yet challenged and motivated during each class. I have been practicing yoga for over 10 years, but continue to grow and learn from the instructors at HardCore Fitness. They even help with nutrition and meal planning! I would recommend the yoga and bootcamp classes to all individuals, regardless of age or fitness level.
