The Fit Lab

Sean of The Fit Lab was very accommodating to my last minute request for a hydrostatic dunk test and report.
The Fit Lab is flawless and the equipment appears to be in very good condition.
I have no hesitation in recommending The Fit Lab to anyone looking for a trainer.

Sean is a very professional and knowledgeable (and friendly) expert in all things fitness. Measure my Resting metabolic rate and did the dunk tank to check body fat %. Very detailed processes and Sean gave a very thorough run down of the results, what they mean for me and how I can use them to achieve specific and realistic goals.
They also have a complete workout facility and dedicated training staff to help you reach your goals.
Highly recommend the Fit Lab!

I’ve been going to here for the Hydrostatic Bodyfat testing. I had a recent test done, and the results just felt off to me. I talked it over with Sean, the owner, and he had me come back in two days later to re-​test. The results were a little off, but more to the point, he was adamant about me coming back in to check things out and make sure I was happy. This speaks volumes to me about not only the type of businessman he is, but the type of person he is. I will continue to use this facility and I recommend those of you looking for fitness advice and guidance do the same.

I have been driving by The Fit Lab daily on my way to work since it opened and finally decided to look it up online. A convenient exercise plan is the only way i could make something stick and not start and stop like I have before. I called and spoke to Sean and decided to get dunked to get my body fat tested. Needless to say I thought I was much less fat but it was interesting to have a statistic to show you that you need to work on yourself. Sean was super friendly and explained the whole process and we carved out some realistic goals and a diet plan to wrap everything together.
Sean is the perfect fit for a personal trainer and business owner. He’s always happy, energetic and super knowledgeable. My plan has been going very well and after going 3x/​week for 6 weeks I feel so much better. Im stoked to see what 4 full months does to my mind and body. There is no set in stone number of session or hard sell workout packages. Sean keeps me accountable to show up and I don’t dread coming. It’s the highlight of my morning and yes it does take hard work during the workout and I want to quit.
If you’re on the fence go see him and get dunked. You won’t regret it and if you think it will be too expensive it won’t be. It’s worth every dime and more to take care of yourself. By the way Sean was a former Olympic rower and is a lifestyle ambassador. Overall he is just a cool guy and not a meathead :)

Sean and Ema are awesome!
A full service fitness center with everything you need to get fit! #itspersonal

Went here for the dunk tank to check body fat. Very professional. Plus you get a printout of your stats. Will be going back in a couple months to check again

I contact Sean at the fit lab after a Google search of Hydrostatic body composition analysts. After reading a few different pages I sent Sean a email which he replied to at 8:30pm and after a few questions by 9pm I had a appointment set up for the next day.
Sean was super informative and coached me through the whole process. We spoke about my goals, diet and training and he spent over all about an hour with me sharing his ideas of how to reach my goals.
If you have been thinking about getting this type of test done Sean and the fit lab was perfect. I hope to be back in 2 months having reached my goal of 8%!

I have not hired a personal trainer before the fit lab. I used to wrestle and never thought i would let myself go so much. Realizing I need help to get me back on track, I decided to give the fit lab a shot. I could not have been more pleased. I have a personalized routine to achieve my goals and noticed more energy and I am more active after just 2 weeks of training. I would recommend fit lab to anyone who would like to be better than they are. Mike is my trainer and he is awesome. for anyone who has played sports he definitely has a coach like feel that makes me feel comfortable and motivated. Thanks Mike and stay awsome.

Came in for hydro-​static body fat testing. Sean is super helpful and explained everything along the way. After the test he sat down and explained the results and pointed out what I needed to work on in a friendly manner. Smaller place but all the equipment is new and well taken care of. Likely one of the cleanest gyms I have ever been in.

Love it here! It’s away from the hustle and bustle so it’s really private, which is what I was looking for. It’s close to the freeways and easy to get to. Plenty of parking in the lot. All their equipment is brand spanking new and the facility is clean and well maintained. The lab offers personal training with nutrition planning and they also offer fitness testings. I’ve been athletic all my life but wanted to take my fitness up a notch so I decided to get some personal training. It’s so worth the money! I like that I don’t have to wait to use the equipment, don’t feel self-​conscious, I get corrected throughout my exercises so I don’t injure myself, and I learn so much about health and fitness, which I think is key to a healthy happy and long life. Sean P has been an amazing trainer and have helped me define and reach my fitness goals. I just wanted to «get fit» but together we figured out what that means for me and what I needed to do in order to get fit. I always look forward to my bi-​weekly hydrostatic body fat composition test aka dunks because the test results will tell me how I am improving and if I am close to reaching my goals. The dunk tank does not lie! We’ve adjusted my training and nutrition program accordingly with the results so I can stay on track to achieve my goals. Whether you train here or not, it’s definitely worth doing the dunk and knowing your body composition. This place is definitely worth checking out.

I wanted to gain some weight, but I didn’t realize not all weight is equal. I read about different forms of body fat testing and how hydrostatic dunk testing is considered the gold standard. I though it was going to be difficult because I had to be underwater but the team at the fit lab made the experience easy. I now know my body fat percentage and Sean and Mike educated me about lean mass vs fat mass and tips to gain the proper weight. These guys are not only pros but friendly and cool.

I have been going to The Fit Lab for almost 2 weeks +. The staff is friendly but also focused on getting the best results for you personal goals. I am totally getting results from the personal training and nutrition guidance for the best results with Sean Pangelinan.
I have a broken back, but with the focused training and supervision, I am getting stronger! My family and friends have noticed changes. I have gotten compliments from a lot of my family and friends and it shows in my overall attitude! Progress to a healthier and fit me!
I love the TRX exercises that I have never tried before. I have also had done the Fitness Wave. It really shows you a lot more than a scale does.
If you are looking for an awesome team to get with, go see Sean Pangelinan and Michael Elrod! You will be glad you did!

My husband has been going to this gym for a couple of weeks now and he already lost 16lb. I really like that the trainer Mike Elrod is available for you whenever you have a question and he goes above and beyond for his clients. If you want to change your life style and have a healthier more active life then this is the place for you.

lets face it, working out daily is hard. You need to spend countless hours both in and out of the gym to be on point. Living in the U.S. We are constantly bombarded with all sorts of marketing from food to the latest fat loss pill. It is no wonder why 35.7% of Americans are now obese almost 3 out of 4 men are considered overweight. The worst part is very few of us know where to start. It can be mind numbing trying to find a starting point. Well it is a good thing you are reading this San Diego!
All I ask of you is to come by and meet mike to see what he is all about. He will be very straight forward with you and honest. When I mean honest, I mean he will not hand you a sugar coated donut just to make you feel better. What he will offer is motivation, drive, knowledge, and science base training. Mike leads by example just as any good leader does. I know mike personally and he has altered my way of living for the best. Lastly, Mike surronds himself with good energy so you can assure yourself the The Fit Lab is filled with great vibes.
P. S. I’ll I am saying is once they help you reach your goals and you stare at that mirror you are F@$&!? Because you will know that you are now master of your body. I doubt you will ever want to go back.
