What can I say, I first met George Anthony in Italy 3 years ago at the Human Fit retreat. An engaging and truly skilled coach, with the ability to give you exactly the advice you need to improve a movement. Too bad San Diego is so far away, otherwise there would be no doubt about where to train!

George-Anthony is one of the best trainers I’ve met. I love his communication skills. Hope I’ll get the chance to train with him again anytime soon!!

I wanted to start personal training for years and ultimately my hesitation came from intimidation. I was intimidated by the fact that I had never lifted weights before, I didn’t feel I was in the best shape and I wasn’t sure of my capabilities. All of that changed when I walked into Brainstorm Fitness.George-Anthony sat with me during my initial consultation, asked me what I wanted to achieve from training, explained how we could make that happen, and together we agreed upon a realistic schedule that I could and would commit to.I walked away from that consultation feeling like, “why did I wait so long to do this?” Brainstorm is the opposite of intimidating, it’s a welcoming place where the trainers encourage me to realize my potential through a variety of guided workouts and movements.I have been training at Brainstorm for about 3 months and it has truly become one of the highlights of my week. I leave each session feeling proud of myself and proud to be part of a great community.

Dulal-Whiteway was my drill instructor. He’s an absolute animal! If you’re looking to train and workout you couldn’t ask for anybody better.

My wife and I started going to Brainstorm Fitness and training with George-Anthony in March 2024. I’m a serious cyclist, but hadn’t trained in the gym in years, so I was looking to supplement my cycling and also just generally put my body in a better place before eventually having a family. Fast forward to July 2025 and my wife and I can see the tangible results of training with George-Anthony twice a week for almost a year and a half. Once we found out my wife was expecting, George-Anthony seamlessly started to incorporate movements that targeted muscles and simulated how we were going to move our bodies as parents. We welcomed a baby in May and physically I felt prepared for the long hours of holding a baby and being a dad. An added bonus is that I’m stronger than I have been in years and can noticeably see the changes in how I look. We love being able to train together with George-Anthony and he consistently challenges us while modifying workouts appropriately for me and my wife. Our twice weekly sessions are some of the best time we share together all week.

2025-07-27T20:04:14.353Z

This place is the real-deal! The wealth of knowledge & care that George-Anthony has is truly a blessing to anyone that’s fortunate enough to cross paths with him. In the short time I got to spend around him, I’ve become a better person because of it

Top tier training facility and coaches. They have a solution for whatever goals you want to achieve or problem you need to address. This is by far the cleanest, funnest and most professional training environment I have been to in San Diego. Highly recommended.

Came here for help with a herniated disc and got back to walking normal again and have been improving since following the guidance I was provided at Brainstorm Fitness, can’t recommend enough.

2025-04-24T16:48:05.235Z

Amazing experience, great facility, and the owner and trainer is one of the best in San Diego. Recommend this fitness center to anyone looking for results as well as health and fitness education! Wish i could give a 10 out of 10!

2025-04-21T20:51:54.390Z

Amazing place and coaching

2025-04-21T18:46:52.700Z

Great experience all around, I love Brainstorm Fitness!

I’ve trained at a lot of gyms over the years, but Brain Storm Fitness in San Diego is something else entirely. If you’re tired of the same old workouts, this is the place to go. The training style is incredibly creative and innovative—a mix of functional movement, unconventional tools, and constant variation that keeps your body guessing and your mind fully engaged.George Anthony, the owner, is the real deal. His energy is infectious, and his approach to fitness is next-level. You can tell he’s constantly thinking outside the box and pushing the boundaries of what training can look like. Whether you’re an athlete or just trying to move and feel better, George tailors everything to your goals and makes it fun while still kicking your ass (in a good way).Highly recommend this place if you’re looking for something different, challenging, and effective.

Phenomenal location and the coaches are so supportive and welcoming! I could not have chosen a better place to start my fitness journey 💪

2025-04-21T17:13:10.646Z

Amazing place, great fitness, and even better people! Highly recommend you join this gym!

2025-04-21T16:43:56.185Z

Brainstorm Fitness is awesome! 1 on 1 or private training here is GREAT. George-Anthony is really knowledgable, and helped me get fitter without being in pain at all.

2025-04-21T16:37:09.232Z

George Anthony and his crew are the most motivating and helpful personal trainers in Bankers Hill. The infectious enthusiasm makes working out a treat, instead of a pain! Perfect for beginners or someone nervous to exercise!

2025-04-13T22:55:14.223Z

I work on cars and these guys build custom workouts to fit the job you have in real life. We do shoulder movements since my arms are always up on the car lifts, and functional mobility movements since I’m under cars, or twisted some weird way to fix parts. Ask for George Anthony! He’s the guy with the voice.

2025-04-09T19:31:00.230Z

Brainstorm is hands-down one of the best personal training experiences in all of San Diego. It’s not just a gym, it’s a place where you’re genuinely supported, challenged, and cared for. George-Anthony and the team run this space with so much integrity. I did the one-on-one training with Evelyn, which was super intentional and personalized. No ego, no gimmicks - just good people doing excellent work.

I've been going to Brainstorm since February and cannot say enough good things! The workouts are always different, so I never get bored and I've noticed a huge difference in my daily life. Omar is incredibly knowledgeable and motivating, always pushing me and making sure I'm doing things correctly to avoid injury. I truly enjoy going to my sessions both because the equipment is top notch, but the people are amazing, which makes a huge difference.

2024-10-06T18:29:27.057Z

Oh wow! I’m moving to the neighborhood soon… can’t wait to join a gym with this high level of enthusiasm and community 🌟

2024-02-13T00:15:38.901Z

George-Anthony, Omar & Cori are awesome people to train and hang out with. I'm in the best shape of my life and love coming into Brainstorm every week.

2023-08-03T03:51:44.836Z

Brainstorm fitness is the real deal! George-Anthony helped me train for my 31st professional boxing match. I showed up to my fight in great shape and feeling strong thanks to George-Anthony and Omar!

I sort of stumbled upon Brainstorm Fitness while looking for an instructor for a group fitness offering to my staff in our Hillcrest office. I’ve been extremely impressed with George Anthony and his team ever since. I was/am dealing with a slightly torn rotator cuff, and I had started gaining weight, losing overall fitness and felt crummy. After three months with George Anthony I’m stronger, more flexible and feel great. My shoulder still hurts, but the functional training we’ve been practicing is perfect for getting back on track. He focuses on building strength through commonplace movements, weighted and leveraged enough to work all the supporting muscles of my back, neck and shoulders. Oh, and legs and glutes are pretty important, too! Between 1:1 and group sessions, I see him three+ times a week, and it’s typically the “best hour in my day.”

All I gotta say is George-Anthony and his team at Brainstorm Fitness are beyond professionals. As an Athlete that competes in multiple sports and have sustained multiple injuries from running, basketball and even golf; I must say the training program is absolutely incredible.The philosophy and execution of all my workouts have been unique and have helped me start to learn that there are better ways to lift, run and do just about anything when it comes to this industry. I’ve only been with the BF team for a couple of weeks and I’m already feeling stronger, faster and more explosive.My injuries to my ankles and back have dramatically improved, as well as my mindset to what working out means. If you haven’t given BF a try or are curious to know what’s going on…. Please do yourself the favor of coming into their facility and getting some authentic incredible insight to what they are doing. If you’re a “real” athlete and are looking for that one thing that’s gonna get you to the next level; wherever it’s HS, College or professional sports, come through and check it out. I’m about to put all dancers and hoopers on notice in about 90 days 😂… no but really, the BF team is amazing is about to up my game to new heights! I’ll see y’all around and thanks Brainstorm Fitness for being hella dope 🔥

I honestly thought I could get to my goals by myself going to 24 hour fitness. I would get bored and worry about everyone watching me or if the machine would be available, then get asked 3 to 4 times what set I was on etc.I started at this gym in January 2023. I’ve since reached my goals despite having injuries and pain all over. This gym has everything you could possibly need to reach any goal! I highly recommend you check it out!
