Next Wave Athletics

I have struggled with athletics all of my life. I’ve been to numerous gyms for a month+, hired personal trainers, nutritionists, and wondered why I didn’t have the «athlete gene». A friend told me about Cross Fit.
I found Next Wave Athletics and it is a completely different athletic experience. I instantly met about 15 people in a Cross Fit class and they were friendly and encouraging. I was assigned a coach that helped me through my first workout. I was hooked instantly.
The gym itself is well kept, clean and stocked with everything you need for your workout. The gym’s owners and coaches are very encouraging.
The workouts are broken into four parts and governed by a professional Coach that truly cares about your workouts. You will learn to do exercises properly.
* Warm Up
* Strength
* Conditioning
* Mobility
The last thing I want to share is about the community. Bethany and John (gym owners) have created a positive environment. The gym members here are kind, encouraging and just fun to be around. I appreciate each one of them.
I highly encourage you to visit Next Wave Athletics and see for yourself.

There is an endless list of great things to say about Next Wave Athletics! The coaches and the community here are incredible to start with. Everyone is constantly motivating and encouraging each other which makes it all the more easier to reach your fitness goals. The coaches are incredibly knowledgable and will answer any questions you have.
I came to Next Wave Athletics last summer and I was a complete newbie in the world of CrossFit, but within three months I knew how to properly perform almost all of the CrossFit moves and I saw incredible changes in my body. I can honestly say I am in the best shape of my life!
Great pricing, various classes offered, supportive and friendly community and staff, and challenging but fun workouts. Walk in and give Next Wave Athletics a try, you won’t regret it! I don’t!

If you’ve had enough experience with gyms which serve the dual purpose of being a meat market… give Next Wave Athletics a try. You will feel like you’re working out with family, but the non-​judging type. The coaches and trainers are super helpful and friendly and everyone pushes you to thrive. I have been going to Next Wave for a couple of months now and there has not been one session where I left feeling unchallenged. In other words, walking, changing positions, and lifting your arms above your head can be difficult for the next few days after a workout. Next Wave is where you experience magic in misery (I meant that in a good way).

Saturday 8 AM yoga class at this crossfit gym is CHALLENGING and a GREAT work out! Highly recommend! The best class I’ve been to since I started yoga over a decade ago.
I do drop-​in yoga since I don’t do cross-​fit but I heard you can also add on a yoga membership if you already do crossfire here.

I was very dubious of crossfit, thinking crossfit was for amazingly trim athletes on steroids. The cream of the crop. Boy was I wrong! Crossfit is for everyone and these coaches really help us no matter where we are at with our physical fitness (or lack thereof as in my case). I am in the corporate/​business world basically working a long hours desk job. I asked my coaches how to get rid of my stomach and build a 6-​pack of abs and they have shown me how to do just that! I am now very close to achieving this goal after just a few months at this gym and plan to update this post when completed. All thanks to these coaches, who go above and beyond any other gym! They love what they do and are very good at it! And they genuinely care for each of their members.

This box has the best community I’ve ever had the pleasure of experiencing! The coaches are dedicated to building strong athletes who workout with correct form while avoiding injury. The hours are convenient and the space is huge! Drop in for a morning workout before work, or come in after work to get your shine on. With their convenient kids’ corner that has toys and slides and tons of entertainment to keep your children occupied, you won’t have to worry about finding a sitter for an hour just to work out!
I’ve been a member for a year and I’ve never been bored at this gym like I am at regular gyms. The workouts are designed to keep you on your toes, and can be scaled for beginner, intermediate, and advanced athletes. The programming is so effective that I’ve gained a lot of muscle and strength since I’ve joined.
The community is what sets this gym apart from the rest. Your social life and your workout game are about to get that much stronger!

I have been coming to CFNW for over a year now and this is an awesome box! Coaches John, Bethany, Dave, Charles and Gavin all go to great lengths to make sure we are pushing our limits, but doing it with proper form and guidance. Coach Dave’s excellent programming is really making us stronger and I am seeing very noticeable gains. I cannot thank them enough for everything they do to keep this such a fun community to be a part of! Drop in for a class, you will not regret it!

As a long distance runner it is important to mix in some cross training, and at CFNW I get a challenging workout that is actually fun! It’s nice to know that all I have to do is show up and there is a set WOD (work out of the day) that everyone is doing together. So no planning or slacking off for me! In fact, with the support you get from the coaches and the rest of the people working out, you really get motivated to keep going. You also feel very comfortable and because of the community that has built up there as well. Everyone is so welcoming and encouraging — you don’t feel intimidated like you would at other places. There are events that they’ll put together and everyone gets to hang out. The coaches (John, Bethany and Dave) have really set the tone there and you feel comfortable asking them anything — but they are tough when they need to be too so you stay on track with form or reps!
There are also other benefits as well. You can do an add-​on of unlimited yoga and Charlie is a top-​notch instructor. This is a very nice compliment to CrossFit as you get a great stretch and it can also be challenging as well. The coaches are definitely committed to the all-​around health of their clients and even provide education about food. They will occasionally hold Whole 30 Challenges so you can try doing paleo for 30 days. This is great because everyone is trying and sharing new recipes and feeling the benefits of paleo with the support of the team. There is even a «kid’s corner» which is a section for kids to play so I can bring my little ones with me!
If you are looking for a place that sincerely cares about you as an individual and helps you work toward your goals, then this is the place to be.

Not only are the instructor’s motivating and top notch, the actual community of cross fitters at this box is very warm and welcoming. It really was the best for my wife and I as we are new to San Diego!

After moving to San Diego, earlier this year, I’ve been on the hunt for a box that feels like home, and this is definitely the one! With awesome coaches that push you to your potential, but monitor you, to make sure you don’t injure yourself, and a community that’s also there to encourage you. Not to mention the new, spacious box to crush those WODs! Check out CSNW; you will not be disappointed. =)

If you are looking to change your life fitness wise then allow the community over at Crossfit Next Wave motivate you to make your changes now! Great coaches, awesome space, awesome programming to get you the results that you have been looking for! They will work closely with you to assess your needs and help you on your fitness journey. The community here is great, friendly and inviting people who will motivate you to come back for more! Ever since I started training here, I can not thank them enough for the growth and progression they have helped me to achieve. To top it all off, they offer Yoga on top of crossfit! The most unlikely of combinations!

I am very excited to be apart of CFNW. I am new to crossfit and prior to joining CFNW, I had preconceived notions about what crossfit was about, the athletes, and the hype. Well, my world has been rocked. The members at CFNW are amazing. They are encouraging, supportive, and inspirational. Coach John and Coach Bethany provide a safe environment based on perfecting the basics. They are both very knowledgeable and wonderful coaches. As a mother of three (ages 5, 3, an 3 months), I am proud of myself every day I enter and leave the box. It is wonderful to have the accountability, support and encouragement that CFNW gives me in my journey to a «new» me.

I was in town for a week to visit family and wanted to keep up on my WOD’s while away. Stopped into Crossfit Next Wave for the week and was really impressed with it! The coaches were so friendly and knowledgeable and took time to explain form and help each person. I almost wish I was staying longer in order to keep working out here! Whether you live nearby or just need a place to pop in if you’re visiting, highly suggest this place.

I am very proud to call CFNW my box. You may have your doubts about crossfit, but CFNW is legit. Great for beginners and challenging enough for top tier athletes as well. I am a long time big gym goer, doing my own thing with headphones on. I have always wanted to try crossfit and I am so glad I finally did with CFNW. What a great group of trainers! Very focused on safe movements while still getting a heart pumping workout.
Super convenient location and workout times. On your way to work or home to avoid traffic it’s a perfect spot to stop in a get fit.
Come on out and check it out the weekly fundamentals classes to learn more and get better!

I really love this place. It is a GREAT place to exercise. I’ve had some sports injuries so it was really important to me to learn the weightlifting form and fundamentals. The coaches have done a great job of pushing me just hard enough, so I am maximizing my progress and improvement without getting hurt.
Everybody at Next Wave is really fun to work out with, and I’ve even made a few new friends. This place will take you as high and as far as you want to go, and will never make you feel pressured, which is really nice.

CFNW is an incredible place! After one workout with Coach Bethany I knew Crossfit Next Wave is what I needed in my life. I signed up for membership after my very first session. Over the past three months I’ve pushed myself harder than I ever have. There are days I see the WOD (Workout of the Day) and think «There’s no way I can get through that» and then I do! The sense of accomplishment I get after finishing a grueling WOD is unbelievable. I wouldn’t have accomplished what I have so far without the phenomenal coaching staff and the extraordinary people I get to workout with. Coach Bethany, Coach John, Coach Stan and Coach Dave are supportive, positive and ensure I stay in proper form.
Special Note: As a plus-​size woman I had my doubts about how I would be received by the coaches and members. I was worried that I’d be looked down or people would be annoyed with how long it would take me to finish a workout. From day one I’ve been cheered on (literally). Hearing «You got this!» when you feel like quitting keeps me going. I can attest to the fact that the coaches and members and CNFW have been welcoming, supportive, accommodating and accepting of everyone, regardless of shape or size.
I highly recommend Crossfit Next Wave. I hope to see you at the box!

CrossFit Next Wave is amazing. I am new to Crossfit and one month in am already addicted. I have done lots of other workout programs and this is one of the few that I look forward to and that goes by quickly while I am there. I don’t find myself staring at the clock waiting for the time to be over like I have done in lots of other workout programs, group classes, etc.
The thing that I love about this particular gym is the community. First of all, the coaches are amazing, approachable and extremely knowledgeable. They are very focused on safety and proper form and push you just the right amount – enough to where you feel like you really got an intense and amazing workout but not to the point where you feel like you have done too much (which I know is a concern with CrossFit in the media right now.) The workouts are very intense but they always do modifications for everyone and are very open to helping each individual with their own personal programs. There are people in the classes of all fitness levels and everyone gets a great workout, no matter their fitness level because of the modifications. I ask a lot of questions and they always spend time with me individually to make sure I am doing the workouts correctly. They also have a new Saturday program that teaches you fundamentals which I am planning to attend.
There is a lot of weightlifting but that is what I have really enjoyed so far and what I think (in combination with the more cardio-​focused WOD («Workout of the Day») is what gets you results very quickly. I have gone for four weeks now and am already noticing more strength and positive changes in my body and in the past I have had to workout A LOT for months to see results like this. It is very goal-​oriented; you keep track of your workouts and this helps you stay interested and watch your progress (every class is different and you will occasionally repeat workouts so you can go back and see how you improved over a period of a few months.)
In addition, the other people that go to this gym are awesome. One month in and I already feel part of a community and am making friends. Everyone cheers each other on and it is a warm and welcoming atmosphere.
If you want nice people, encouragement, an amazing workout, helpful and approachable trainers and results, this is the place! I love it! Highly recommended. They also have some good membership deals going on right now because they opened relatively recently – so don’t wait to try it out!

CrossFit Next Wave is great! I was skeptical at first because I have never been able to get myself to a gym regularly, however, CrossFit is not your normal gym. The workouts are intense, however, modifications can be made for everyone. I love the intensity of the workouts and I can already see a big difference in my strength and body after 6 weeks. I love the coaches… Bethany, John and Stan are all great! I highly recommend CrossFit Next Wave to anyone wanting a different kind of workout that you can see results over time. I’m now all about the WOD!

I was really scared to try CrossFit for the first time because I am in my 50’s and did not participate in much exercise prior to joining, but after my first day at CrossFit Next Wave i knew this was different. The coaches took the time to explain everything to me in a way that made it easy for me to understand, and would modify the workouts for me to ensure that i was successful. I love working out there because the community is great and no one judges you there. I can feel myself getting so much stronger and that is a great feeling. I would recommend CrossFit Next Wave to anyone who may be scared to try CrossFit for the first time. They will take really good care of you there!

I was afraid to try cross fit. I thought it would be too intense for me. I went to my first drop in last week and was SUPRISED. The staff made modifications to support my abilities so that I would feel sucessful leaving. I managed to do mod A and it was something that I managed to complete and was PROUD of self. If for any reason I thought I could not go on the staff cheered you on as well as the other people there. I loved this and will be going back.
Bethany and John were amazing. You should try it and feel the accomplishment!
See you all next weekend!!!
