Best gym ever. Unlike almost every other gym in San Diego, it is not a chain. It is as local, grassroots, and community-oriented as it gets. The strength-training classes are incredibly effective and creative, the trainers are top notch, and the owners Mike and Meg and always around making everybody feel welcomed. It is a gorgeous outdoor gym with everything you need and nothing that you don't. They even throw regular events for members like beach volleyball and DJ'd parties and EVERYONE shows up. The community is real and the vibe is immaculate. Doesn't get better than MVMT!

I would like to start off by saying these photos were taken roughly 18 months apart and what a journey it has been so far. I didn’t realize the extent of how much I changed for the better until Michael (Gym Owner) sent me both sets. Started out about 185lbs, currently I'm at 165lbs and I can honestly say that all the results that I have gotten are 100% a direct result of coming to this gym. The goal I had for myself was to lose weight, get lean, and gain muscle not for show but for function and mobility. I have a crazy work schedule but MVMT provides workouts spread throughout the day so it was helpful finding a time that worked for me which varied day to day. When I was consistent, I managed to get in 3-4 workouts a week which kept me at a solid improvement rate. There have been weeks that I could only attend 1 workout or completely miss a week and these classes made jumping back into the rhythm easy. Yes the workouts will kick your butt, but in the best way. Workouts already planned out and broken down before each class, supportive coaches ready to walk you through the correct form, friendly gym regulars making the whole experience fun and pressure free. This is definitely one of those, you get out what you put in, type of deal but you can always rely on anyone that goes/works there to motivate you to put in a bit more each time. I did the 6 week challenge once and that really helped with understanding the purpose of each workout station, made me focus and better my eating habits to get more protein intake, and it was great to have that one-on-one check ins with the trainers. Long story short, love the results I'm seeing so far and I can’t recommend joining this gym enough. Great workouts, great coaches, great environment. Looking forward to the next 18 months!

Adding to the many 5 star reviews - I had a great workout here! The instructor Ruby was welcoming & did a really great job connecting with and checking in with everyone in a genuine and supportive way that I really appreciated. I love the workout set up! They also had a gym dog, which is amazing if you love dogs, but if you’re allergic like me even with the outdoor space I could feel it. It’s not a knock at all and is a pro for many! Just a note I hadn’t seen before coming.

Was in town for a month and dropped in for a bunch of classes. The workouts were great and could be modified for all levels. Almost everything is outdoors, which is nice.
Michael, the trainers, and the members could not have been more welcoming or supportive. Overall, just a great community that I would enthusiastically recommend to anyone.

Hands down the best gym in PB. I love everything about this gym from the friendly and knowledgeable staff to the outdoor workout area, and everything in between. The workouts are always different and well put together. I have seen more results and felt stronger than I ever have since joining.
The 6-week shred programs they run are an amazing way to kick start fitness goals and improve overall health and wellness. I have completed two of the shreds and have learned so much each time and have continued habits learned well beyond the 6 weeks. This is a great place and I always recommend it to everyone.

In moving to San Diego from the Midwest, I could not have found a more perfect gym than The Movement Warehouse. Michael, Megan, and the team are knowledgeable, enthusiastic and make every workout unique. Their outdoor studio differentiates from all other competitors and is perfect to get active outside after working all day behind a desk. If you are new to SD or looking to change your fitness routine, this is THE place for you!

If you’re looking to try a new gym, MVMT is the right place to go! They have amazing trainers who are experienced and qualified and are there to help you with whatever journey you’re on. The classes focus on specific areas each day (Monday- upper body, Tuesday glutes, etc.) and the members are welcoming and friendly. They plan lots of gathering and outings which help bring everyone together. I’ve been a member since October 2021 and love the atmosphere and everything MVMT has to offer!

I visited San Diego for a month in January and had such a wonderful experience working out at The Movement Warehouse. The coaches were knowledgable and friendly, and members were extremely welcoming too! The workouts were both challenging, yet safe, and the class environment being both indoor + outdoor was awesome as well. I highly recommend Movement if you're in the Pacific Beach area of SD!

I have been going to The Movement Warehouse for about 2 years now and I am beyond grateful that I found this place! This is the most consistent that I have ever been in my life with the gym and the best shape that I have ever been in. Having effective and fun workouts planned for you each day is incredible, literally all that you have to do is show up and give it your best and the results will follow. The community is so warm and welcoming. The trainers are all amazing; they are so knowledgeable and help keep you accountable. They truly want to help you get the best out of each work out. Another plus is that classes are outside, and during the week I’m usually stuck at my desk all day inside...
I’ve learned so much about weightlifting, and nutrition myself while being a member here. Sign up you won’t regret it!

The Movement Warehouse is my sanctuary. Coming from someone who works remotely, is one of the primary reasons that I leave my house during the week. All I have to do is show up to class and I'm guaranteed a killer workout, fresh air, good music, and laughs with some really great people. The coaches are incredible -- they challenge you and encourage you to push yourself just a liiiiittle bit harder than you think you could. They want you to succeed and walk out of the gym feeling your best self. I could go on and on about this gym, but it is one of my favorite places in San Diego. Thank you Andrea, Brad, Meagan, Michael, Nate, and Ariel <3

I walked into a class at Movement Warehouse within a week of moving to PB and I never looked back. The workouts are challenging, dynamic, and fun. They're so thoughtfully designed throughout a week to target each and every muscle group. The trainers are all top notch and have been working hard with me to correct my form for all sorts of lifts to help prevent re-occurring injuries. It's a tremendous community that's been built here and I wouldn't think about going anywhere else.

I absolutely love Movement, best kept secret in SD. As someone who has tried various types of workouts for many years: gym, yoga, Pilates, HIIT, etc, this is by far my favorite gym I’ve ever been to. The workouts are challenging and more weight lifting focused (depending on the day) while not being cross fit like (too intense for me). I’ve always been fairly skinny / lean and this is helping me build muscle without becoming bulky but has also been the most effective gym I’ve been to. I don’t have to think about the routine and I know I can get in and out in an hour and get a great workout in. It’s mostly outdoor which has been a plus as someone who works from home; the last thing I want before or after work is to be inside longer. The people that go to movement are also great - it’s a hard workout but it’s not intimidating, people are nice and working out at all levels. Definitely recommend!!

I came into town for the week and needed a gym to workout at. Where I'm staying this place is literally two minutes away. The owner, Michael gave me a five day pass for $69 and it's totally worth it. I've loved being challenged and changing up my workout routine with this blend of HIIT and Strength Training.
The small little compound is also quite cute and everyone has been very welcoming and friendly and the trainers blend pushing you while also not being brutal. I'm an advanced lifter and have been exercising and pushing myself for over 15 years so it's good to see them recognize that and push me while still being more relaxed with other lifters who may just be starting out. If I return to San Diego and stay once again in the Pacific Beach area, I definitely would workout here again. No matter your skill level, you can get a good workout here!
Thanks guys for helping me stay on track with my muscle and weight loss goals while away from home!

Best gym ever hands down! I’ve been going here for 3 years and it’s been one of the best choices I’ve made. All the trainers here actually care to get the best out of you while teaching you how to lift weights properly. Not only does this gym promote fitness but also culture and community. When I started at MVMT I did not know anyone, but 3 years later I am in the best shape of my life and have met some of my best friends! I encourage everyone to drop in for a class and you won’t be disappointed!

This is the best gym in San Diego! I joined just after I moved to Pacific Beach and it was the best choice I made! The trainers are great, the environment is friendly, and the workouts are no joke. They’ll get you in shape and keep you in shape. The knowledgeable trainers can tailor the unique daily workouts to all fitness levels. Everyone at the gym is nice and friendly no matter where you are on your fitness journey! The unique indoor/outdoor layout allows you to enjoy San Diego’s beautiful weather while you workout. I look forward to coming to movement and working out with my friends everyday!

i have nothing but great things to say about this gym. Living in a city as beautiful as San Diego, I was shocked to discover how few gyms have outdoor spaces like Movement Warehouse. Working from home, I look forward to spending my lunch hour outdoors in a midday class. The amount of classes offered throughout the day also provides flexibility with my work schedule, never having to sacrifice my workout to attend a last minute meeting. I also love the diversity of equipment they offer preventing me from ever getting bored. In one workout you could use a squat rack, swing a kettlebells, do some TRX, flip a tire, push a sled, etc. Movement also provides you with the ability to work towards your own goals. Whether you want to gain muscle, tone down, or maintain, the trainers are knowledgeable, invested, and truly support each member in achieving his or her goal. Even in a full class, each trainer goes out of their way to provide real time instruction and motivation to push you to be better than the day before. Not only have I become stronger but I have made friends along the way. I know every gym says they are community but Movement’s classes are filled with members of all lifestyles and backgrounds. Movement truly has something for everyone!

As someone who has checked out countless gyms for many years (esp. in pacific beach), The Movement Warehouse is by far and away the best one I have ever been a part of! Every time I go to workout, I learn something new! Learn a new exercise, a new stretch, to have proper form, learn what to eat to fuel my body, challenge my body and brain, and learn to push myself in ways I never thought I could. Never in a thousand years could I imagine myself saying that working out could be this fun, but it is! (yes sounds crazy, I KNOW! But could not be more true!). It's one of those, once you start it's hard to stop, kind of things. Everyone is so friendly and welcoming and the trainers are incredibly knowledgeable, attentive, creative with their workouts, and insanely passionate about what they do! I really cannot say better things about this gym and would highly recommend to anyone of all fitness levels!

The trainers take turns writing the workouts, so you always know you're going to get a unique workout in. The small group style workout makes the trainers accessible to you while getting to know fellow members. The Movement team has done a great job at fostering a high energy environment, taking the time to get to know their members on a first name basis, and coaching you through some killer workouts. This is your sign to go give Movement Warehouse a try!!

You MUST try this place out!! I have been going to Movement for a little less than a year now and I love, not only the results I’ve gotten, but the community that comes with joining the gym. When I first started, I was intimidated by the format of the classes putting focus on strength training, as I had never lifted before. However, the trainers were so incredibly helpful and all the members were so welcoming. I have made some great friends and look forward to going to the gym everyday! I love the structure of the classes that allows you to challenge yourself and never have the feeling of plateauing. One of the best things of all, the gym is almost entirely outdoor!!! After spending an entire day working in an office it’s nice to be able to get my workout in outside and, in the summer, potentially get a tan in the process :). I really love this place and I can’t recommend trying it enough!

This gym got me on committed to working out and gave me real results! During workouts, trainers are correcting form and pushing you to be your best and level up across the entire workout. Workouts are customized by different trainers on a daily basis hitting all body parts throughout the week with cardio and strength training combined. The trainers and most specifically Meagan stuck with me to keep me on track when I had fallen off for several years. Meagan followed up with me if I missed a day and checked in on habits outside of the gym as well as part of their frequent challenges. The trainers keep it fun and have a great personality. Besides the awesome trainers, the clientele at the gym are fun and many hang out outside of the gym. You wouldn’t regret joining especially if you’re having trouble getting into a routine.

Playing sports all going up and in college at the D1 level, I can confidently say that Movement Warehouse prepares some of the best and most balanced workouts I've encountered. It offers a great mix of quality cardio, heavy lifts, and endurance focused lifts that really boost muscle gain/tone while cutting bodyfat. Beyond that the trainers and gym members could not be more welcoming. I moved to San Diego during the pandemic and it offered an immediate community and friend crew. Its a crew that doesn't take itself too seriously and is still very much on board with a fun night out (not a gym cult that's counting every drink calorie). Highly encourage you to join the squad.

I started with Meagan’s Pre Holiday Workouts and it has been the push I needed to get back to where I was pre Covid. You will make friends with the people at the gym instantly. Mike and Meagan have helped cultivate on of the best gyms in San Diego. And every trainer brings a unique and awesome flow to their workouts. I couldn’t be more happy with my time I spend there.

Movement warehouse is by far the best gym in San Diego. It has everything you would ever want in a gym and things you didn’t know you needed!! Great equipment, challenging classes, variety, motivating coaches and an amazing community to experience it with! I have been a member of many group class style gyms and the vibes and community at Movement doesn’t even compare! When I first joined I signed up for only 2 x a week but it was only a few weeks into my membership that I upped it to unlimited because I was annoyed I couldn’t go to all the classes I wanted to each week. I love that some of the classes are muscle group focused. It allows me to go to multiple classes in a row without getting to burnt out or injuring myself.
Meagan is an amazing coach. She is so motivating and knows how to push me to my full potential! I have never felt as strong, confident, and motivated to exercise daily and practice healthier habits. I am excited to get to the gym and see what I am able to accomplish at each class.
All the coaches are fantastic. They host social events. They play amazing music. It’s seriously the best gym. Check it out. Thank me later.

I started going to The Movement Warehouse back in 2019 because I had a friends wedding that I wanted to get in shape for. Now, that wedding has long come and gone, and I am still here! Not only do the trainers come up with challenging workouts that yield amazing results, but they create a fun and positive environment that makes you want to keep coming back! We all have those days where we dread having to go to the gym. We are tired, sore, too cold, too hot....but when you have trainers that will remember your name after one class, who crack jokes to take your mind off of your heavy breathing, who will pay attention, who will say "hey! Remember when you couldn't do that a few months ago!?" you realize that this is so much better than your average gym and worth every penny!! For the first time in my adult life I have felt consistently confident in my body and in myself. I spend less time worrying whether or not I am bikini ready or if a certain outfit will look good on me, and spend more time enjoying the moment I'm in. Never thought I'd call a gym "my happy place" but The Movement Warehouse is indeed my happy place!

If I could leave 15 stars I would!!! Movement was recommended to me by my roommate after I was ripped off by a personal trainer at another gym.
I was using classpass before, having severe IT band pain, and because my roommate had such amazing results I decided to give it a try. I knew that the trainers were talented when Mike immediately recognized that I had scoliosis based on the way that I was squatting.
I am moving to Norcal next week and what I’m going to miss most about San Diego is this workout studio!!
Movement has made me stronger, more limber, and has helped me fall in love with exercising in a way that I didn’t know was possible. It’s such a good feeling when people say, “WOW - you look amazing. What have you been doing?”
After work I look forward to going to Movement to see my friends, I know that the trainers there are friendly/funny, the workout is always going to be challenging, and the music is bomb. If I want to get a good sweat all I have to do is show up for 60 minutes and they will literally take care of the rest.
I think the results are exponentially better than other local studios because 1. It’s a muscle group based workout, AND they are the only local workout studio with individual weight racks so you can lift heavy if you want.
Glute bridges with 150 pounds > glute bridges with 20 pounds.
Also, this is the only workout class that includes a thorough warmup with stretching, which I think helped fix my IT band injury.
Another thing that I love is that the workout instructors are constantly modifying your form, so you don’t injure yourself. You’re basically getting Personal training instruction, but in a more upbeat and fun group setting.
The small group sizes allow you to go at your own pace, and modify the work out in any way you want. I’ve also found since you’re in a rotating group of 3 people, it allows you to make a social connection and friends while you exercise.
The 60 min workout always feels closer to 15 because I’m enjoying myself so much.
Another cool thing is the gym often throws social events, so If you are new to San Diego, work remotely or simply are looking to meet new people/socialize this is the place for you. I have not only seen amazing results within myself but in almost all of the members at the gym. If you are hesitant or intimidated to come to a workout class or gym, please don’t be because mike and meagan have created a community that is both equally welcoming and encouraging.
I know this review is long winded, but I truly am going to miss these workouts and these people when I’m gone.
If this review leaves you with anything PLEASE give this place a try for 60 days. You owe it to yourself and your health. I know you will fall in love with it just like I did, there is truly no other place out there.
If leaving a review after 2 years is a way I can give back to somewhere that has given so much to me, it’s the least I can do. Mike, meagan, Brad, andrea, Nate, Cece - THANK U for all that you do. I hope I can come back one day.

Meagan knows how to motivate you when you just don't know if you can put on that extra plate! Andrea keeps you in check when you are slacking off or need some correction to your form! Brad gets that gain train going and pushes you to your full potential! Nate is no nonsense and focused on providing an exceptional workout! Mike sometimes is the trainer too!

I have been going to Movement Warehouse classes for a year now. Mike and his trainers have helped me lose over 100 lbs and gain my health and ability to do the things I love in life back. I had never lifted a weight in my life. The trainers helped me learn from square 1 instead of pushing me to fast to hard. The community has been so supportive and I always look forward to each strength and training class! Thanks guys!

LOVE LOVE this gym! I’ve tried out a few gyms in San Diego and this is by far my favorite. The trainers know their stuff and will help you with form while also pushing you throughout the workout. Also being in sunny San Diego, they have the majority of the gym outside on a grass turf. You won’t find anything else like this San Diego, 10/10 recommend!!

I think one of the biggest failures of gyms/classes/workouts is the connection you develop with the establishment. I've been to many different styles and formats of exercise and not many compare to what Michael and his team have built here at the Movement Warehouse.
One of the biggest thing I've been looking forward for has been the sense of community while working out. You can argue that other places like F45, Orange-theory, Crossfit or any other gym has this, but I would challenge that sentiment when comparing to the Movement Warehouse. The moment you walk into the facility you are welcomed and greeted like a regular by Michael and the coaches. This is so important in the journey of reaching your fitness goals. Familiarity breeds comfort. Comfort breeds consistency. Consistency breeds results. I've lost 20 lbs since joining there in a time period of 6 months.
The programs are challenging, but satisfying and each completed day is greater sense of fulfillment. I go to the Movement Warehouse because of the people involved and the members who attend. Everyone who steps through that door shows a true passion to betterment - physically and mentally.
Shout out to Meaghan, Brad and Andrea for all the great coaching and Nate for helping out as the manager.
Special shout out to Michael for all your hustle and the family you've built.

I have been a member at The Movement Warehouse for over two years now, Both pre-pandemic and during the pandemic (when outdoor activities were allowed). Their cleaning and sanitization protocols have given me the confidence to continue to workout through the pandemic.
The staff, lead by Mike, is professional, courteous, very knowledgeable, they are easy to work with and funny. All of their other patrons also seem to enjoy the atmosphere at the gym often staying after workouts to stretch and chat. Today, at 39, I am in the best shape of my life, stronger and leaner than ever!
I would without a doubt recommended The Movement Warehouse as the best choice in Pacific Beach and La Jolla for your workouts!

Hi! I’ve been going to MVMT since July. Before that I was just running on my own which was really boring and then my hair lady referred me to MVMT (shout out Cindy at Split Ends). I started out doing personals with Michael and told him I would only lift once, MAYBE twice a week tops. Now I do classes like every day and have gotten into great shape..depending on which trainer you ask.
The workouts are GREAT. I used to get tired of doing the same thing over and over, but MVMT’s workouts are different every day with each day having a focus on specific muscle groups. They’re great for all strength levels, beginner to athlete. The trainers are all fantastic, definitely hot, and motivate the hell out of you (in a fierce but loving way). The community at MVMT is even hotter and they’re all so much fun to sweat with. I kinda suck but I’ve made lots of new friends! (plus, no one judges you - something I always worried about in gyms).
I can’t recommend this place enough. I’ve become addicted to working out there and I used to hate exercising. Wish I could give it more than 5 stars.
*(Ps- I’m a nurse and yes a pandemic is happening, but classes are taking place outdoors and we are sanitizing each time we switch stations. Safe af)

I cannot say enough good things about The Movement Warehouse! Oddly enough, I initially came to MVMT Warehouse for a comedy show (side note, they host all kinds of awesome events in the outdoor area) and was intrigued by the setup. I was looking for a new gym closer to home and liked the group class model to keep me motivated. I got that and more!
Mike, the owner, has poured his heart and soul into this gym. The programming is top notch and they’ve developed a sense of community that is hard to come by. Members are excited to be there and they often hang out even after the workout is over. All of the trainers are great and put their own twist into the daily workouts to keep you motivated and striving for your best. I could go own forever with the compliments but you’re better off experiencing it for yourself!

This is gonna be a super long review but I cannot say enough great things about this gym. I moved to San Diego 3 years ago and I have been to many gyms around the area, CrossFit, F45, kickboxing, etc. I can 100% say this gym is everything I have been looking for and more. The people are friendly and inclusive, the trainers know their stuff and will push you while somehow making it fun, and the owner made me feel like I was at home from day one. The workouts are all outside and they even have racks set up so you can still get those gains. I used to get so sore from CrossFit that I would skip days at the gym. I also felt like I was never getting enough cardio. The programming at this gym incorporates heavy lifting with HIIT training so you can build muscle and also burn fat, increase your flexibility and mobility, and make your training sustainable. They also have yoga a couple times a week! I am no fitness expert but I ran collegiate track and field and did CrossFit for 5 years, and this is by far the best programming I’ve seen. They also have a variety of times for their classes (I am a nurse and have a weird work schedule). They did a great job transitioning with every new change occurring in today’s world and there’s plenty of sanitation bottles and time to clean. I could go on and on but going to these work outs have been the highlight of my day, and I’ll hope to see y’all there!

I never EVER thought I'd love going to the gym but here I am, 7 months into being a member at MVMT and I don't ever want to stop. This place is awesome and truly combines safety, community, and hard work in a fun way.
No matter the trainer, you will have an excellent workout that pushes ya beyond what you thought you could do. Meagan and Mike will not hesitate to correct your form, call ya out for slacking, and generally just push you. Brad and Andrea will encourage ya one moment, and the next push you to take that extra bit of weight or do a few more reps. They are all great.
Pricing here is pretty affordable for what ya get: the expertise of amazing trainers without the price tag (unless ya want that 1 on 1!) and unlimited classes with the right membership.
If you're looking for a new place to workout (that takes covid seriously too), join a community, and generally better yourself, sign up. It'll be worth it.

Best possible combination of HIIT, Tabata, and the vital aspect of weight based resistance training that so many studios flat out skip. You know the useless insipid time on treadmills that Orange Theory, Barry's, etc etc stick into their routines to cover up the fact you do precious little actual working out while you're there? You won't find any of that here. The instructors are experienced, professional, and personally invested in the quality of both your experience and your outcomes. People who are serious athletes are treated exactly the same as someone hasn't broken a sweat on purpose since High School PE. Enjoy!

This review is well overdue. I have been with The Movement Warehouse for 2+ years because a coworker asked me to go and I have been hooked ever since. I was always hesitant about group workout classes due to previous sports injuries and I needed to ensure someone focused on my form. Mike, Meagan, and Dani are amazing and always help when needed. They know my injuries and will create a modification for me when necessary. The great thing about the modification is that it's not any easier. It's still an exercise that pushes me without the pain and I don't feel any less accomplished.
Mike has cultivated a fitness community that goes well beyond just diet and exercise. The Movement Warehouse is a family of people that all want to better themselves in one way or another. We also have a TON of FUN while doing it. Not only do we enjoy our workouts together, but there are events outside of the classes that happen. There are social events, yoga classes, game nights, and other wellness gatherings that help you connect with people.
The Movement Warehouse community is filled with people from various workout, athletic, and health and fitness backgrounds and levels. The one constant is we all love to come here and we all appreciate the work they put in to help us improve. I am faster, stronger, and more flexible since joining and I am truly appreciative of everything they have done since I joined.
Mike, Meagan, and Dani are amazing and I know they can't wait to help you meet and surpass your goals.

I've taken a few classes at The Movement Warehouse and am loving it!
Mike knows his stuff and it shows in his training style. He starts with a solid warm-up/movement prep to get the body loose and get the heart rate up. The workouts are programmed well to include a variety of functional movements that tie strength training and cardio together. Mike does a great job of keeping you motivated throughout the workout while keeping the class fun and upbeat.
The community at The Movement Warehouse is unparalleled. The clients love being there and they welcome in newbies with open arms. It can be intimidating to walk into a new gym or fitness studio, but here, you feel like part of the family almost instantly.

I started at the Movement warehouse because of their fun ever changing sign that they have outside, which lead to me peaking into the window and noticing a diverse group of people completing a challenging work out but SMILING and LAUGHING through it. I had been gym shopping for a while i tried working with other trainers and gyms since my move form Nashville to San Diego 2 and a half years ago, nothing seemed to be able to get me to feel comfortable enough or made me want to come back more than this place. This review is a bit of a love letter to this gym, because after i moved to San Diego I am quite possibly the only person who got less fit after moving to the fittest city in the US, but after joining this gym I was able to lose 20 of the 30 lbs that i put on in 2 years. Mike, Meagan, and Cali go a long way in terms of not only training you but making you apart of the community so you commiserate with everyone you are working out with. they also really listen and try to help you overcome your limitations safely. Meagan is even a nutritionist, and nutrition was something that I truly needed to focus on. I love walking past the gym while walking my dog Hero because even he is made to feel like a member of the gym community with the HELLO HERO he receives as we pass by. This gym is a true family and you feel that energy while you work out. the workouts will always be challenging, expect that, but the atmosphere makes you want to come back for more. I went from feeling like I was neither fit or strong enough to be at this gym to feeling like i am a person who does fitness and health because this community helped me to grow!

I've never worked out at a gym like this before, and I've tried a lot of different specialty gyms and regular gyms alike. Both the community and the workouts are something you'll NEVER get bored of and you can feel good about your work outs, instead of just saying "I worked out" and it realistically being sub-par. You won't regret joining this gym-community!

Movement Warehouse is an amazing workout, and an even more amazing community. I love that there's a proper warm-up included in the one hour workout, which is a mix of cardio to get your heart-rate going, mobility exercises and stretches. This is so important to make sure you don't get injured jumping right into a heavy lift. I really like that there's a variety in classes, and that the days are slip into body parts. Mike and his trainers are always paying attention to make sure you're doing proper form. Its really more of a group personal training session with lots of attention which I love. Also, its the best way to make like-minded friends since many of the workouts are completed in small groups, or with a partner. Do yourself, and your body, a favor and check out a workout!

Found the Movement Warehouse about 9 months ago through a couple friends and was talked into giving it a try. At the time, I was a bit hesitant to go lift weights and jump around the gym in what I assumed to be a "cross fit" atmosphere since I was coming off a recent back surgery. Boy was I wrong.
The team of trainers (led by head trainer Mike) are amazing to work with. Have an old injury that's holding you back? There's a way to train and eliminate risk of re-injury with this team. They always have your best interest in mind and can recommend alternative exercises if something makes you uncomfortable or is a health risk for you. The folks that workout here are an amazing group and are super welcoming, really incredible people.
After 9 months, the results are amazing! My core strength is stronger than ever which has accelerated the results of my back surgery, my upper body has actual defined muscles which I haven't seen in 10 years, and the lower/leg workouts have increased my mobility and racing speed.
Bottom line, if you are looking for results, look no further than The Movement Warehouse. If you are willing to put in the time and trust with this team, you will get stronger, faster, and live a healthier lifestyle as a result.
Final thought for those with a difficult schedule, The Movement Warehouse has amazing hours ranging from 530a-630p and weekend classes which makes it incredibly easy to get into the gym 4-6x per week.
Recommend 100 times over.

The Movement Warehouse is unlike any place I have ever worked out... and I have worked out many places. From day one, my interaction with Mike and his clients being welcoming and friendly followed by a kickass workout I committed and have been now for over a year. I’ve lost lost weight and decreased body fat percentage... more import I have kept if off and continue to do so while MOST importantly having FUN! I’m stronger, more flexible and feel amazing... the MW brings such great energy and vibe I crave going for the workouts and great people (some now my very close friends). Mike makes it fun and switches it up with friendly challenges and social events!! Bringing everyone even closer together motivating each other staying healthy and fit.
SERIOUSLY THE BEST PLACE TO WORK OUT GET AND KEEP RESULTS!!

I have been working out here since it opened almost two years ago and I have never been happier with the work outs, trainers, people and the results. The location is great and the facility is indoor outdoor so that makes for a lot of variety in each work out. Sometimes the clases have a lot of folks and other times they are small and intimate. Either way I've never felt and looked better in my life and the people who go there are like family and we get together outside of the gym often. If I are looking for a great work out, great trainers, great facility and great results you need to try out the movement warehouse.

Movement Warehouse is the best gym in PB!! I feel so much stronger, faster and more mobile since joining last year. Mike the owner is so knowledgeable, welcoming and pushes you to be better everyday. He hired 2 other trainers Mike and Meagan who are equally awesome! This gym is a great fit whether you are totally new to working out or an avid athlete. They help tailor the exercises to fit your needs. Movement Warehouse is a class based gym all circuit training style. And no it’s NOT cross fit...it’s way better! They have movement (more cardio based) and strength (higher weight lower reps) classes and you can mix and match which ever type of class you want. There are plenty of classes offered each day and each day has a designated focus ex Monday’s are leg day, Tuesday upper body, Wednesday cardio and core and so forth. The point is you work out every part of your body and not just to get all bulked up. The workouts are geared to increase strength and mobility (hence why it’s better then CrossFit). Oh and the cherry on top is the community! I love all the people that workout there and they have become some of my closest friends! Welcoming, hard working, supportive and fun. Come join us!
