CrossFit Flashbang is amazing! The coaches are supportive, knowledgeable, and make every workout challenging but fun. The gym is clean, the community is welcoming, and the programming keeps things fresh. I’ve seen real progress since joining and actually look forward to working out now. Highly recommend!

First ever CrossFit gym. Had my hesitations but beyond glad I joined. I’m not intimidated or embarrassed by not knowing the movements. They work with me to slowly get the movements down. 10/10 recommend to new and advanced people!

This CrossFit gym is by far the best I’ve ever been a member at. They truly try to engage with each member individually sending 1:1 motivational messages and provide workout variations for each member to choose from. Highly recommend them!

My husband and I needed to find a new CrossFit gym after ours had closed. As soon as I walked into flashbang I felt welcome. They have plenty of equipment that is maintained and the space is large. They are very well organized with an awesome app they use for posting. Their programming and coaching is on point as well as their communication on what’s going on. All the members, coaches, and the owner Brittney are incredibly welcoming and encouraging. The pricing is very reasonable and offers not only CrossFit classes, but 24hr access, OLY, and access to a sauna and ice bath. Flashbang is an amazing community and embodies what CrossFit is all about. My husband and I are confident we found our new CF family.

Best gym in East County! Flashbang has a phenomenal community (it’s like a big family) and the owners are the best. The recovery room is a huge plus (sauna and cold plunge). I have a work schedule with odd hours so it’s helpful being able to come workout any time of day with the 24 hour access on days I can’t make a set class time. I couldn’t recommend this gym more.

After an absence from Crossfit we started up again April 2024. CF Flashbang is a few miles from our house....so an easy drive or bike ride in the morning. The gym itself is a mix of traditional equipment and progressive technology. Several large monitors allow us the see the workouts. There is a phone app for reserving a space in class, tracking your workouts and supporting others in the community. The CFFB community is one of the best....encouraging each other through the workouts and participating in Crossfit events throughout the year.

The coaches and the people are very nice and make the gym fun. When I first started here I walked in thinking that it was just a regular gym where people just do their own thing/not be social But very quickly, I realized that CrossFit Flashbang is a very loving community. It is very easy to Fit in and be apart of The CrossFit Flashbang community/fam. CrossFit as a beginner was pretty hard, but helped me to become more Healthy/better shape/better mindset/And a better cross fitter. With that, you can set your goals, and beat your goals. I definitely recommend crossFit Flashbang.

I have been in Cross Fit for many years. I have been to A few different gyms but there is something special about CrossFit FlashBang. The coaches, the people, the workouts. It’s not just a gym it’s my outside family. There are activities that are done together like Sip & Swap (clothes xchange), pool parties. I did a competition & the support from people who didn’t sign up was great. There is definitely motivation & push to do better. I don’t feel intimidated or like I can’t do something because someone is always there to help or guide and direct me.
If you are looking for a gym to call home FLASHBANG IS IT! Trust me

Never have I ever felt so comfortable in a gym before. The coaches and the members genuinely care about you and want to see you do well! They’re my biggest cheerleaders! We celebrate fitness wins and life wins, together! I have never been a “gym person”, it’s a struggle for me to know what to do, I need instructions… and I get that here! The workouts are structured in a clear way and there’s always room for modifications! This place is clean, well managed, well cared for, and the coaches are always happy to see you.

CFFB has always felt like home to me! I started going in 2019 and have been back now in full swing. They meet you at your need and really facilitate a safe space to grow your courage in the movements as well as pushing you to new heights. I’m super grateful for the coaches who take the time to encourage, demonstrate and lead me through the movements for each class. They have early morning classes, evening classes, kids classes and an incredible recovery room! If you are looking for a gym to build muscle and community, Flashbang is the spot for you!

Clean and positive environment. No egos and good vibes. Members and coaches are respectful and welcoming. Great programming and high level coaching. Each workout starts with a proper warmup and demonstration of all movements that will be performed, as well as modifications to movements and the ability to scale the workout to whatever your current fitness level is. Always appreciate the attention to detail from the coaches, it’s evident they want you to excel in your training. Amenities are solid- recovery room with infrared sauna, and a cold plunge, also 2 showers and 2 separate bathrooms, never had an issue not being able to use a restroom or shower.

I’ve met some great people since joining this gym and have noticed a big increase in athletic performance. I’ve tried many different CrossFit gyms and it’s hard to find one that hits all the marks, this one covers all the basis in my opinion. Hope this helps anyone thinking about checking it out. I spoke with the owner Brittney when I stopped in to check it out for the first time and she was very kind and informative, you can tell she cares about her members and her business.

I've been a member of various gyms, from powerlifting to CrossFit, and standard fitness centers. However, this gym stands out as the most family-oriented one I've ever experienced. The owners, coaches, and fellow gym-members create an environment that fosters excellence. Whether it's your first time in a gym or you're a seasoned fitness enthusiast, you'll benefit physically, mentally, and emotionally here. I wholeheartedly recommend this gym to everyone. Whether you're looking for a membership, a week pass, or just passing through for work, this is the CrossFit gym you want to be a part of.

I’ve been doing CrossFit for a long time, so I’ve seen many gyms around the world. CrossFit Flashbang is truly the BEST community vibe of any gym I’ve ever set foot into. I’ve found my village here along with getting in the best shape of my life. The support, guidance, friendship, motivation…it’s unparalleled. I loved it so much that after doing CrossFit for 10 years I finally took the leap into coaching because I wanted to be even more involved with the Flashbang community. I love it here, these are my people…all of them. Join, you will not regret it!

I don’t know that there is a word that fully describes how AMAZING this gym and it’s coaches truly are. I live in east county but drove to Point Loma for over 3 years for CrossFit because I loved the gym I was a member of but in summer of 2023 the commute wasn’t working with my schedule anymore. I had a friend from my old gym that joined flashbang a year or so prior and she eventually became a coach at flashbang so I dropped in to flashbang and immediately felt welcome, I felt the passion that the coaches had for CrossFit and Flashbang’s members. I decided after a week of drop ins that this was where I wanted to join. It’s been amazing since! I love the sense of community at Flashbang! Over the years I’ve formed some bad habits/form and the coaches are always patient with me and constantly teaching me and I love that! If you’re looking into CrossFit as a newbie or a CrossFit vet… flashbang is for you! I love the extras this gym has to offer! And the 24 hour access, genius! Life happens and some days we cant make it to class, this gym offers 24 hour access. The coaches also truly care about your success. Your goals are also their goals!

I have officially been coming to this gym for a year now and it has been the best decisions I’ve made. I went from owning my own equipment to selling it all and exclusively going to Flashbang. The vibe is the best. The coaching is the best. The atmosphere is there best. The community you get when joining this gym is the best. The coaches know what they are doing and it’s the best feeling knowing I can start my day with an amazing workout and everything is all programmed for me and my minds and my only task is to just show up and work. My PR’s have all dramatically increased and I find myself getting a way better workout due to the motivation you get just by being around like minded people and staff. The schedule for my wife and I work out just perfect and the kids room make for an easy transition. This place is truly a home away from home.
P.S. My wife has always been difficult to try and motivate to workout and she loves coming to Flashbang. If that doesn’t say enough….

By far one of the most amazing gyms I have ever been to. I have been in the CrossFit world for over 10 years and this gym is top notch. The programming is amazing, the coaching staff is extremely welcoming and knowledgeable and the facility is one of the cleanest I have ever seen. The owner, Brittney, truly puts her heart and soul into making this the best place for her members to better themselves and their health and fitness. The wellness room is also incredible with a sauna and ice bath! And a great room for the kids to play in while the parents get their workout in. You wont be disappointed either being a member or dropping in while in town

The space, equipment, programming, and coaching is everything you could ask for. I have trained in one of those popular franchise gyms, our home gym, and a LEO work facility for years with varying degrees of injury and plateauing performance. I have been coming here for a little less than a year for 4-5 days/week and I love it.

The programming here is smart and sustainable. I come from the old school white board random WOD days of 2014 CrossFit in a cop gym -- not a really smart long term strategy. For those of you new to the game and intimidated by the idea of CrossFit, know that this sport is truly inclusive of any ability, disability, age, and stage in life -- they can and will work with you! I have "started over" so many times in the past whether it be injury, shifting athletic goals, or pregnancy/post partum and this past year at this gym has been the most encouraging for seeing progress in technique and performance.

The camaraderie makes it a community. Being parents themselves, the owners/coaches are also very understanding and accommodating to having my kids here, which makes it that much more realistic for my husband and I to keep pushing through our fitness and wellness goals.
