CrossFit TurnPoint

Absolutely the best gym experience I’ve ever had in more than 20 years working out in and around San Diego. The workouts are here challenging but rewarding. I’ve been training here for only two months and I can already see major improvements in my body composition, more muscle and less fat. Coaches Michael and Laura are the best. They are genuine, caring people who constantly offer instruction that is personalized and helpful. But what makes Turnpoint the absolute best is that it really feels more like a family than a gym. All the members here are very supportive and there is a sense of teamwork that pushes you to be your best! I HIGHLY recommend Turnpoint. I mean I don’t want to be too dramatic but it’s really made a big difference my life in just a short time and I love it.

What makes Crossfit TurnPoint stand out is how invested the coaches are on each individual. I’ve been at the gym for a year and couldn’t have asked for better coaches. They are consistent and honest when giving feedback but without that, I wouldn’t be where I am today. I have learned so much from this box and I couldn’t have done it without them.
This is the place to be. One advice I would give, is to make sure you stay committed and consistent with yourself. You can’t expect results to happen over night. It takes time to get strong, be better, and see results. However the coaches at Crossfit TurnPoint will get you there if you stay committed with them.

I spent quite a bit of time debating and researching CrossFit. I’m not in shape (and haven’t been for quite some time) and had never before done CrossFit. I wanted to go somewhere that would allow me to go at my own pace, but also know when to challenge me, be super conscience of form/​technique so as to avoid injury, and be welcoming. This place gets an A++ on all accounts.
Laura and Michael have been nothing but encouraging, supportive, and mindful; helping me to learn proper form and the CrossFit lingo. The Foundations class was excellent — Laura did a wonderful job explaining, demonstrating and helping me to learn to do things the correct way.
I’ve been to a few classes since completing the Foundations training and everyone is friendly, encouraging and it’s been a great experience. The WODs have definitely been challenging, but Michael and Laura help me with modifications to allow me to still get a really good workout without injury.
If anyone is on the fence about CrossFit or looking for a great place to get an awesome workout, give CFTP a try. I’m really glad I found CFTP and look forward to achieving my fitness goals in a fun, safe, and enthusiastic environment.

If you are looking for a place to help you change your life, the search is over. This place has the perfect combination of discipline, knowledge and commitment. The level of professionalism, respect and patience that you expect to reach a different level is here, with the facility and their coaches.

I came from Arizona to San Diego in May for a summer internship and was looking for a box near my work. I had read the reviews from Unilocal and decided this box would be a great fit. I have only done crossfit for 7 months, so I am still getting used to the workouts. Michael and Laura have been great especially with the time they have put in with me despite knowing I will be leaving at the end of the summer. My weakness has been kipping pulling and they have helped so much by showing me different ways to strengthen my body and techniques that make a hard movement more simple. Anthony has also been very helpful the classes I have done with him. The reason why I think this box is great is the variety of the workouts. I can honestly say everyday there has been something new I have never done before. It definitely keeps things interesting and entertaining. The other thing I really enjoy is how much time Laura and Michael put into mobility, it really does make a difference. So not only are the workout great so are the people that attend this box. It’s impossible to have a bad experience here if you have a good attitude, willing to work and genuinely listen to what Laura, Anthony and Michael have to say. They are all passionate about what they do and will make sure you get the most from their box.

I have been with CFTP for almost a year and I could not be happier. The coaches are extremely knowledgable and genuinely care about your well being and progress. All the coaches have a solid foundation, yet each also has their own unique style and expertise so you walk away learning something new every session. On top of that, everyone is super friendly and in a very short time you feel a strong sense of community.
If you’re looking for a place where you get your butt kicked and have fun doing it, this is it! Thoughtful programming, awesome coaches, and an encouraging group that will keep you accountable and on the right track!

Do not waste your time, energy, or money!!!
Coaches Laura and Anthony are amazing however, it is my experience with Micheal which has prompted me to write this review.
Micheal lacks tact, is wildly unprofessional, and will ultimately undermine all of the great work Laura and Anthony are doing here, which can only result in another failed business.
After six or so classes Coach Micheal pulled me aside very abruptly and asked to set up time to talk later but would not share the nature of his agenda, I found this interaction to be alarming as his approach was too forward, intimidating, and put off the «you are in trouble» vibe. Later that day when I asked him to speak Micheal kept reiterating that «he is not dumb» and «this is just a Groupon», and I may not be a «good fit for Crossfit». I struggle to understand how a «coach» can make the determination that I might not be a «fit» after only having coached me a handful of times. Furthermore I think it is critical to add I had not even completed the «foundation» classes. I am certain that my level of expertise was at zero.
I would encourage Micheal to put down the weights and focus on his interpersonal skills. After voicing my concerns to Micheal and Laura regarding the way he had approached me he was literally was rolling his eyes like a child, dismissing me completely.
We are adults and one would assume that other adults would behave accordingly. I decided to leave when there simply was no reasoning and as I walked away he shouted «Have a nice life»!
I suppose working on commission only I have a very different expectation as to how customers are to be treated, my livelihood depends on their satisfaction. I am grossly disappointed by the way I was treated by Micheal.

There are few «gyms» you can go to and be provided with nutritional guidance, athletic training and personal mentoring support in addition to a line up of folks that quickly become friends and feel like family… Crossfit Turnpoint is one of these rare gems.
Coaches Laura, Michael and Anthony are helpful and extremely knowledgeable. The Crossfit Turnpoint box is one of the most welcoming athletic environments I’ve worked out at. I miss it and the people that go when my schedule keeps me from them.
I would highly recommend checking them out whether you are a seasoned athlete or someone who is just starting out.

I love coach Laura!!! This gym is amazing! Great CrossFit family and community… come join us if you dare!

This place kicks my ass everyday, but I just can’t seem to get enough of it. This is a great community based gym, everyone knows everyone and everyone cheers on everyone. If you are the last person to finish you get the most cheering and everyone is so excited for you when you do finish. The coaches are awesome! Any questions you have, if you are ever intimidated, or if you just need them to slow it down a bit for you to understand it, they have no problem doing so. Whatever you need they’re there for you! This is a great gym for all levels of crossfitters, beginners to regulars, this gym meets the needs of all levels.

Crossfit TurnPoint is Great! I felt welcomed and supported on my very first day. I was a baby beginner a few months ago and I and so happy I picked Crossfit TurnPoint as my first box to try out. The coaches are great, they are always watching and coaching in a positive way to give you that extra push when you need to get that last rep or two. I have seen how much stronger I have become in a few months. I love being part of the Crossfit TurnPoint family :) #WeLoveCoachLaura

Ok, this is simple. I came to San Diego from out of town. I’m not a «Crossfit» guy but I’m very active. I will be in San Diego for a few months so I decided to join a Crossfit gym because I slack when I work out alone. I visit a few places. I evaluated money, availability and distance. After taking all aspects in consideration, Crossfit Turn Point was the solution. It was not just the gym, it was the owners and their people.
If you want to invest your money wisely and witness a genuine result in your performance, strength and overall health then just join this gym «box». They are very engaged in overall performance without loosing track of safety. They prove to have a great knowledge of the human body.
In all honesty, if you want to be better physically, mentally and emotionally give this guys a chance to help you.

I’ve been coming to CrossFit Turnpoint for 7 months and I absolutely love it here! There is a great sense of community that keeps me coming back day after day. The coaches really care about each individual’s progress and are always giving feedback to help you improve while avoiding injury. If the WODs are a little intimidating, the coaches will provide instruction on how to scale down or modify the workout to tailor it to your own abilities. Whether you are experienced or a beginner, everyone is very encouraging and always motivating you to push your limits. It’s a fun place to be!

I’ve been coming here for about 5 months now and am extremely satisfied with everything. The coaches are great. They pay attention to each individual and monitor your progress. You’ll definitely get your money’s worth. If you’re looking to push yourself past what you think your limits are,. this is definitely the place to go. I can guarantee that what you do here as a warm up, is probably what you do at you local gym as a full work out. The environment is great, the members friendly and the coaches are awesome. Check this place out!

I have been wanting to join a box for a while. Looked through Unilocal and found this place. Came in for a Saturday morning WOD. Was immediately greeted by the coaches Anthony and Laura. Tried it out for a week and decided to stick around. Coach Laura and Anthony are two of the best. They let you know what you’re doing wrong in your movement and let you know how to correct it. If there’s something that’s too tough, they’ll teach you how to progress through it so you can do it properly without hurting yourself. The WODs are great. Programming progresses throughout the month so it gets you stronger. They’ll have you sweating and getting you stronger in now time!

Awesome box!!! I only went here for a couple months but the time I spent here was great. The equipment is clean and Coach Laura is great. She is a very good coach and she has fun while teaching a class which makes the workouts that much better. Everyone who goes there is very nice and supportive. If you are looking for a good place to workout then you found the right spot!

I’ve been going to CFTP now for 6 months and am absolutely loving it! I had ZERO crossfit experience before coming and now I’ve lost weight, gained muscles and can climb a rope again! Its very fulfilling seeing your own progress and knowing you are learning the right techniques from great coaches (and not getting hurt!). This seriously is my family and made some awesome friends here. Everyone is so nice and open, there is no mean competition, everyone is very encouraging! If you’re a beginner or just looking for cool people to work out with, this gym is the one! Should definitely check it out!

Awesome box! Thank you for making me feel welcome and comfortable as an out of town drop in on Saturday morning. The owner/​coach was friendly right from the moment I walked in, took time to show me around and make me feel at home and introduced me to other members as they arrived. It can sometimes be awkward or uncomfortable visiting new boxes when you don’t know where things are, what the box rules are, etc. but I felt right at home at TurnPoint. The members were also very friendly, and made me wish this box was in LA so I could join permanently. It was a great Saturday morning WOD! Thank you CFTP, I think you will be extremely successful as a community and CF box and I will definitely be back next time I’m in San Diego!

I absolutely love the Crossfit TurnPoint community! What sets this gym apart from the many others in the San Diego I’d say is the amount of time and effort that the coaches take out of their days outside class time to learn best practices, new techniques and ways they can help each of their clients needs on an individual basis. You aren’t just another client being coached, you’re a valuable asset to the community. This gym just opened in January so if you’re in the Kearney Mesa area and want a gym with trainers that care about you and are tired of other over-​crowded boxes that make out feel out of place if you’re new, come check them out!

This is the place to go if you want a trainer/​coach who cares about you and wants you to succeed to your personal best ability. Michael, Laura & Anthony will make you feel like family. They care about each and every one of their clients 100%. They pay attention to each client individually and all of their clients as a whole to come up with awesome WODs for each day.
Crossfit TurnPoint is a fantastic new gym with a clean fresh atmosphere. They are adding new stuff every week. Come check them out! I love it there and thank my bestie for introducing me to this place!
