A great small group gym, with nice variety and intention behind the daily curated workouts. With the small classes the trainers are able to give you personalized attention. They suggest helpful improvements to form and offer alternate movements if you have injuries. I genuinely look forward to coming here to work out with this group of awesome people!

Love working out with Chris A and Chris K at San Diego Strength Club!Name change, new ownership but same community that's existed in this space for years.Chris was my 2nd trainer I ever had in San Diego and we have made impressive strides together. When I can make a small group class, love them because it brings out just enough competition in me to keep things interesting, without it feeling daunting.When I'm 1:1 w/ Chris, we have a good time together and he knows how my body is moving to ensure I stay safe and get the results I want. Last session we threw the plan out the window when my body clearly was ready to deadlift more and I set a new PR!

Great trainers, great programs, and lovely neighborhood vibe. This personable gym welcomes all levels and encourages strength and building a healthier you in small group and personalized sessions. I have been with this gym for multiple years and have never been stronger.

Training with Chris A. at San Diego Strength Club has been great—mostly because he knows what he’s doing and won’t let you cheat reps (unfortunately).He’s extremely knowledgeable, fixes form before you hurt yourself, and programs workouts that actually work. He explains why you’re suffering, which somehow makes it better.If you want real results, smart coaching, and just enough pain to know it’s working, Chris is your guy.

More than the great workouts, this gym is a great community hub that strengthens the neighborhood (quite literally). I’ve never been a gym-goer before, but this place is different. The workouts are dynamic, with a great differentiation of movements, the classes are small and workouts adapted to all levels of fitness.

I've been working with trainer Chris A. for a little over 2 years now. I started when I hit my later 40's and despite being a runner, my middle was getting squishier, my movement was getting stiffer and creakier, and my balance was off. Chris has been amazing - I've seen marked improvement in my balance, I'm fitter all around, I move more freely, and my strength has increased a lot. I love the small neighborhood gym feel - in the past I've been somewhat intimidated trying bigger gyms, here there is no judgement and everyone is super supportive, kind, and encouraging. I really can't say enough positive things about Elevate Performance - highly recommend!!

My partner and I have been doing personal training with Chris A. for more than two years. His workouts and philosophy for fitness align with our personal goals of gaining strength, mobility, and flexibility. Chris also has a great personalized approach to motivation and coaching, and he really works to understand who he is working with. Regardless of your motivation style, goals, or starting point, Chris goes above and beyond with everyone he trains. I can't imagine doing personal training with anyone else, and I highly recommend him for anyone who wants to achieve their fitness goals!

I started training with Chris just prior to the pandemic. I had a general goal of wanting to be more fit and reduce back pain related to sitting at work and during travel. Chris is a strong coach who works on developing strength and movement. He pushes me while understanding the limits of my abilities and physical limitations. 5 years later I’m stronger, able to move more, and leaner - down 30 pounds. This is a great professional gym in a quiet local setting. Multiple 1:1 and class options. Check it out!

I've been working out and training at this great neighborhood gym for a few years. The coaches are very friendly and personable. As others have said, it's a judgement free zone. I recommend EP for anyone looking for individualized and personalized help with their fitness goals.
