I have to rate it 5 stars for sure. I feel proud of being a part of the Fall Games on the Thanksgiving weekend. The main reason why I give 5 stars is because the sport CrossFit inspires me.

Definitely would not recommend to anyone looking for a friendly, welcoming experience. I was a drop in, but the coach acted like he couldn’t care less about me. I hope they treat prospective members better!!

6 of us dropped in to the HQ location and we all couldn’t stop talking about how much fun we had and how cool this gym was. Huge space with so much great equipment and great programming. The coaches were extremely welcoming and so nice and helpful to some of our group who were pretty new to CrossFit. I would absolutely recommend this gym and would love to go back next time we are in the area!

I will be staying in San Diego for a month. I have always wanted to experience CrossFit in the United States, the home of CrossFit, and CrossFit Fortius looked like a great gym. Although I have only taken one class so far, I was very satisfied. Coach Aaron Patterson, in particular, warmly welcomed us and kindly guided us. His coaching on the snatch was extremely helpful.

I had an opportunity for a 3 day drop in to Fortius CrossFit. Gym was spacious, well equipped and maintained. Coaches Christine, Allison and Willie were all welcoming, attentive, knowledgeable and encouraging! CrossFit athletes were friendly and workouts challenging! enjoyed my short time there and definitely drop in when in SD again!

I’ve been searching for a solid CrossFit gym since COVID shut down my old gym, and was happy to come across CrossFit Fortius recently. The space is open and well laid out, the trainers are knowledgeable and encouraging, and the equipment is in great shape. I also really appreciate the flexibility in class times — it makes it easy to stay consistent. Overall, this is a great choice if you’re looking to get back into CrossFit or level up your training in a supportive environment.

I had the chance to drop into this CrossFit gym while visiting San Diego, and it was incredible! From the moment I walked in, I felt welcomed by both the coaches and the community. The facility is well-equipped, clean, and spacious – perfect for a challenging WOD.
The coaches were attentive, offering guidance on technique and ensuring everyone worked out safely, no matter their fitness level. I also loved the energy in the class; it was contagious and kept me pushing through to the end. Whether you’re a local or just visiting, I can’t recommend this gym enough for anyone looking for a solid workout and a positive community vibe. Can’t wait to come back on my next trip!

During the last few years of living in San Diego, I’ve done the Fortius free week trial and I’ve dropped in several times. I finally made the best decision to commit to a membership and I’m so glad I did. Every single coach is extremely knowledgeable, professional, uplifting, and inspiring at Fortius. Great community of people as well. I am already so excited about both the improvements I have seen in myself related to various CrossFit skills (even as a beginner), and also the amazing team of coaches that push me to be a better version of myself in every workout. Big fan.

The space inside the gym and the equipment were great. I was here for the Murph 5/27/24 and probably one of the best, if not the best crossfit gym I've seen. There was a lot of space, which is ideal for people who sweat a lot like me and insane amount of equipment. The groups that came def look like legit cross fit pepz. The owner and staff were super nice and friendly. Wish I lived closer so I can do some workouts here.

As I walked into CrossFit Fortius to inquire about memberships, I was met with appalling rudeness from the front desk staff. Without any explanation, the front desk guy demanded I leave. The lack of professionalism and courtesy was astounding. It's unacceptable to treat potential customers with such disrespect, and it left me feeling discriminated against and unwelcome. My experience with CrossFit Fortius was deeply disappointing, and I would not recommend it to anyone.

After moving across country finding a new gym, especially in an area where you know absolutely no one can be super intimidating but that all changed the second I stepped foot into CrossFit Fortius. I’ve been to many gyms before and when I say nothing compares to fortius… NOTHING seriously compares to fortius and its community!
Whether it’s your first day or you’ve been going there for years the community always has their arms wide open to whoever walks into that door!
The coaches are incredible and do a fantastic job of going over skills and technique when needed. The workouts vary from day to day which keeps things fun and exciting and for the first time I’ve seen a noticeable improvement in my fitness journey due to their incredible programming!
I’m beyond grateful to have found a gym that not only created a better, stronger and healthier version of myself but a place I got to call home with friends who became family ♥️💪🏻🏋🏼♀️

CrossFit Fortius has been a game changer. I’ve been a member for 4+ years and can’t imagine life without it. The program works for everyone. They have scaled levels and levels to test your limits. The coaches are knowledgeable and care about what they are doing so you’ll see them take the time to work with each member 1:1 throughout the workouts. If your thinking about CrossFit or even fitness, I 100% recommend dropping in for a class and you’ll see what I mean.

I cannot say enough great things about Crossfit Fortius...everything from the coaching, programming, and overall community is what makes the gym so great! Highly recommend this gym, whether you are looking to start CrossFit or have been doing it for years, the coaching here is perfect for ALL skill levels, which is hard to find in a gym. I truly appreciated the class structure and how intentional they were with the warm-ups...super important and often overlooked, there was ample time for the lifting/strength portion where you get so much hands-on coaching, and the workouts were scaled adequately based on skill levels. Often CrossFit gyms will just overload the programming and there may not be a lot of thought that goes into it but Fortius does a great job ensuring the programming is aligned for the week/month etc. and overall gives you a great workout!

Hello Jesse (owner). I am writing this review based on your lack of attention to $915 total being debited from my bank account after cancelling my membership. I have been reaching out since Saturday 9/24 requesting for you to call me and no response. I have received unprofessional and dismissive texts from Paige. This review does not reflect on the programming or coaches. This is a specific complaint to the owner and manager due to the way this situation has been ignored and treated with lack of professionalism and consideration for your member. I have been in the fitness world for over 10 years, been a member of CrossFit gyms, kick boxing, yoga, pliâtes, you name it. I have never had to request a billing refund for a cancelled membership until now. I canceled my membership in May and was charged for 3 months ($457) in June and ($457) in September. I am a single mother to a deployed partner. I cancelled due to not having the childcare in place to come and moving 40+ minutes away from the gym. I haven't stepped foot in your gym since May 2022. Please do the right thing and contact me regarding this issue so that I can receive my money back. I cannot afford to loose almost $1k for a gym I haven't utilized for 4 months. I look forward to your call, until then I will continue to reach out. Thank you.
After reading through many reviews it seems these members received the same response I did from the owner today.
I received an email stating that I did not cancel my membership when, in fact; I did and I have proof of that. Same response he has given to any poor reviews; it's all made up and fabrication. No taking accountability, NO class, NO professionalism. No mindset of ... the customer that pays my bills ... they have rights, they have feedback that could potentially better my business. Apparently the customer has no right to give any type of feedback, accurate or not. He claims it is all made up. I received a threatening email completely disregarding my concerns and calling me a liar. Facts are facts and I will be getting my money back. The accountability for the respect and professionalism you lack for your customers is disheartening. I will make sure to share this experience with my fitness community.
Here Jesse goes again. The customer is always wrong, lying and fabricating. I did provide proof via email and text to the gym and my bank. It has been ruled in my favor so this is also inaccurate; in an attempt to point the blame on the customer. Who would pay over $1k to a gym they haven’t stepped foot in for 4 months? Definitely not a military mother with a small child trying to make ends meet. You are a greedy and unethical business owner. I hope more people come forward with the truth on your lack of professionalism and ethics.

I tried 2 other CrossFit gyms in San Diego before finally settling at Fortius. I am newer to CrossFit, but really found a home here. The coaches are excellent, and the programming is incredible. Workouts are always challenging, but scaling is always encouraged if needed. You will find all levels here (competitive to beginner).
They have so many classes throughout the day, which makes it easy to find one that fits my ever changing schedule. I also really appreciate the first responder/military pricing, and am paying significantly less (especially for SD) for unlimited classes.
Another plus, gymnastics & Olympic lifting classes are included in unlimited memberships.

I travel a lot for work and drop into CrossFit gyms across the country on a regular basis. Very rarely do I find a gym that reminds me of home: high quality coaching, a thorough warm-up, and that positive CrossFit vibe (members cheer each other on instead of cleaning their stuff up and leaving as they finish the workout). CrossFit Fortius has all that and more. If I lived in San Diego, I would workout here! Willy was a fantastic coach and all the members in class made us feel very welcome.

AWFUL. I walked in for my trial class with no clue where to check in. I walked up to the only desk I saw and the guy at the desk continued staring at his computer and DID NOT EVEN LOOK UP even though I was straight in front of him. Mind you, there is loud intimidating music playing and super fit people all over the place. I turned around and walked out. There are plenty of Crossfit gyms in the area and I think I'll try a different one.

**if you plan to get a membership here, really read the contract cause it seems they can charge you even if you put your account on hold or cancel.
My husband put his account on hold, before this hold ended he was charged for a month. My husband contacted the gym manager and was told that there was nothing that could be done because the contract states that they can charge him. Even though the hold hasn’t ended AND he cancelled his membership. Whatever, we were going to take the loss but he was charged AGAIN and now a 3rd time. Very little communication from the gym manager and NONE from the owner. I understand you gotta charge people to keep a business running but if people haven’t utilized your service.. I’m not sure what you’re charging for.

I went to college up the hill from Fortius. Upon beginning school, I wanted to start crossfit, and it just happened to be the closest gym to school. I am glad it was. The coaches and overall community at the gym were very friendly, something refreshing compared to the typical "bubble" one may experience at a larger gym. The workouts are nice and short, but plenty hard enough--I call that efficient. I can say that Fortius put me into probably the best overall physical shape of my life. Would definitely recommend!

I’d heard good things about this gym so when I decided to try CrossFit I saw their free introductory week and signed up to try it out. I’d never lifted before in my life and the coaches took as much time as I needed to teach me the lifts in a safe way. They’re always super encouraging and willing to answer every question, and I went back almost every day until I had to move out of state. I didn’t expect anything when I first tried it but what I found was a sweet community and a really fun atmosphere!

Not just a gym but a fit fam! I’ve been at Fortius for going on 3 years now and I still love it. I’ve had some challenges that took me away on and off over those 3 years but have always come back for more. I never felt disconnected from this amazing group of people. Everyone, from day one, brings you in with open arms and pushes you to be your best self. The staff is the best in the biz and the programming is top notch! If you are looking for a place to make some great friends, get strong (safely), and have fun... Fortius is the jam!!!

First of all - this place is no joke, and not the gym for you if you want to have a mediocre workout that doesn’t leave you challenged and worked. The workouts are amazingly well coached, so you’ll barely notice how hard you’re working because you’re just engaged in improving your functionality!!
I can’t praise the trainers here enough as I have yet to not have an impressively good trainer for each class. Prices are reasonable, and class times are great for someone with a busy schedule. Thanks Fortius!

Fortius remains one of the top gyms In San Diego. They have well designed programming, amble space, strong cleaning practices and the most encouraging and knowledgeable staff one could ask for.
If you seek CrossFit, weightlifting, powerlifting or just about any specialized fitness look no further.

This place is great. The coaching is spot on, the exercises you do are varied and always with scaling options. And the people are cool and friendly. Classes are restricted during COVID to ensure distancing and most of the exercising is outdoors. Only reason I don't give 5 stars is because mask compliance during COVID isn't 100%. Otherwise its great

Before joining Fortius, I was at the Y safe in the belief that I was staying fit. Then my wife joined CrossFit Fortius. I made the ‘joining a cult’ jokes. I warned her of the ‘injuries’ of CrossFit. After a couple of months I saw how much her body trimmed and her fitness level improved. I couldn’t argue with my eyes, so I went to a few classes with her. I was humbled and addicted. CrossFit by its nature pushes you, but injuries only occur if you don’t heed the coaches. The programming at Fortius is very smart and effective. The coaches are great and always watching to guide your movements and prevent bad form. And it gets results. Two years later, I average 6 days a week. My buddy noticed how much my fitness level improved and now he and his wife are members. That shared experience of challenging yourself develops a camaraderie amongst the others in the gym (a.k.a. box) that’s supportive and encouraging.

I was in a fitness routine rut and wanted to find something more engaging. After trying several types of workouts (OrangeTheory, F45, Core Power, Powerhouse Pilates, Fit, etc) I discovered Fortius and am really thankful to have found something that checks all the boxes. The coaches are very welcoming and knowledgeable, always taking time to answer questions or give individualized feedback. The workouts are varied and challenging, plus scalable options are always provided. The facility and equipment are great but the sense of community really makes this place stand out. I've switched from month-to-month to a fully paid up-front membership to save money and would absolutely recommend to anyone looking to come consistently!

I tried several different gyms before deciding on Fortius 2 years ago, and it was definitely the right choice. The programming is challenging, but can be scaled to any level. The coaches are all extremely helpful, great people, and it's a very friendly and welcoming environment. I'm the strongest I've ever been because of the programming at Fortius.

Coming back from lockdown I was very worried about re-entering the gym. Coach Jesse and the rest of fortius coaches worked hard on re-opening safely for everyone. Cleaning protocols were put in place, we each have our own space marked off to workout in, we all clean our equipment, the floors are mopped between every class, we all wear masks when entering the gym and outside of our designated work areas. It’s still one of the only places i go and feel completely safe in doing so. Plus, fortius has, hands down, the best community and coaches in San Diego.

The programming is the best out there! I've made more progress with Fortius' program than with every program I've tried before. The gym is very clean and the equipment is well taken care of.
My job requires me to be out of town a lot, and I miss Fortius more than anything when I'm gone. Fortius is not only a great gym, it's also a family.

I have been a member at Fortius for over two years now. I have been doing CrossFit for over four and have been a member and done trials at many other CrossFit gyms in San Diego. Fortius became my home because of the amazing programming and the coaches. The coaches genuinely care and take the time to assure you’re safe and that your form is always correct. Since being here I have seen my strength and technician improve by a landslide and I love my Fortius family!

Having health issues that require several modifications and constant adjustments to my training, I was relieved to find knowledgeable coaches that can tailor workouts to my very specific needs. The classes are busy so energy is high, but not so crowded that one would feel overlooked. Has dedicated weightlifting/powerlifting area which is a huge plus for me. Members are friendly and welcoming, I'm digging it!

I have close to 6 years crossfit experience, and recently moved from NYC where I started my CF journey. This was our third box we visited when we got to San Diego late summer 2017. Over the last year or so, we have made it our second home and have developed friendships with the staff, coaches, and members. I have gotten stronger, faster, and more mobile participating in Fortius' Competition Programming, which is challenging while also being accessible. All I can give is accolades to management and coaches for the space, programming, and generally welcoming environment. Highly recommend this facility, mainly because of the environment it foments and programming.

Dave and Will went out of their way to give us helpful/meaningful instruction (such nice guys!). This is the kind of box where you are going to see improvements due skillful programming and make a few friends along the way!
Can't wait to come back!

This is an amazing Crossfit gym. I've been a member of about three other crossfit/crossfit type gyms and non even compare to Fortius. This is the only one I have ever felt was worth the money. They no what they're doing you're going to get agreat workout without getting injured and you're going to have fun doing it. The atmosphere is really great too. There's all different levels and athletes. Some people are here to get in shape, some are here to compete in Crossfit games, Olympic lifting, power lifting comps. And some of us have other sports on the side baseball, jiujitsu, basketball, triathletes, etc.
I've been at this gym for a little more than a year and although I take time off now and again I couldn't imagine going to another gym.
The owners are professionals and they are wanted all around the country and the world for Lifting clinics.
My favorite thing about the gym is your goals are your goals you don't feel pressured you feel supported. Your going to get the training and coaching you need.
This is a gym that is worth every penny.
Healthy, injury free and happy :)
I also love that they have an annual coaching survey filled out by the patrons. That's why they have he best coaches and the best gym :)

Sometimes biggest really is best. Even though Crossfit Fortius is the biggest Crossfit in San Diego (and probably all of California), it has a friendly, community feel. Coaches Jesse and Dave love what they do and it shows. Best San Diego crossfit, and maybe the top crossfit in the country. Great olympic lifting gear, always fresh wotd, and best of all, they're kid-friendly for parents.

If you want to train at the best CrossFit and weightlifting facility in San Diego, Fortius is it. I've been working with Coach Dave and Coach Jesse since 2011 when I came to them as a very green weightlifter. Over time, they've helped me develop into a physically and mentally strong athlete. Together, they have decades of experience, and it's evident in the movement standards, quality of workouts, and coaching.
Beyond that, Fortius is a community of like-minded individuals who care about health and fitness. If you have goals to reach but you're struggling on your own in a big box gym, come check us out. The small classes and personal attention are awesome.

My buddy Chandler is a member of this gym. I would 100% be a member here if I lived closer. And I'm very jealous that this gym is not my gym. I work out here occasionally with my buddy on weekends. The setup/space is ideal and spacious, the equipment is great, the people are nice and motivated, the coaches are professional and friendly, and there seems to be plenty of parking.
If you're looking to get fit in a great community, this is your place. Thanks for having me from time to time Crossfit Fortius. If/when I move closer, I'll become a member 100%.
