Best Crossfit Gym near Santee, California

Darkside fitness is a good CrossFit gym for everyone. All the coaches and members are pretty friendly. They really help you improve your form with weight lifting class and skill work.

Coming out of a toxic environment, both emotionally and physically was one of the hardest things to do. I was lost, emotionally and physically and getting my health back on track seemed impossible. Darkside, showed up at the perfect time. The community that is Darkside is something special, words will never be good enough to explain how they have changed my life, not only for myself but for my kids. It’s just something you have to experience for yourself. It’s a community with committed, knowledgeable and compassionate coaches and members that truly want to see everyone succeed. No matter your background in fitness from nothing to pro athlete, the coaches take the time to support you so you can be successful at CrossFit. If you are thinking about a gym, I would suggest dropping in and making Darkside your new home, you will not regret it!

I love this gym! I came in to get back into fitness after being stagnant for years, and they were so welcoming. The coaches are all friendly and helpful. They have foundations classes to teach beginners everything they need to know before going into classes. Every workout can be modified to your individual level, whether that’s beginner or advanced. I love the system for reserving class spots and being able to see what your workout will be for the day. There’s a lot of equipment and space and everything is always clean. Overall I’m really happy here, they have such a great community and I owe this gym for getting me back on track.

Great coaches. Super friendly community. I’d highly recommend CrossFit Darkside.

CrossFit Dark Side is not just a gym. It’s a really amazing community. I started at the gym right after I had my baby and I felt both safe and supported by all the coaches. All the coaches are amazingly talented and knowledgeable for all skill levels. I feel so happy and comfortable there that I want to go to the gym every day not just to get a good work out but to see all of the wonderful people. 10/10 would recommend.

Trent is 12 years old. He always looks forward to his work outs! Within three weeks, a lot of his friends and family have noticed a difference. The CrossFit Fortius East staff and the gym employees have a great family atmosphere! It is an exceptional gym environment.

Dropped in today; will probably be back Monday 💪🏼 the space is smaller than my local box but they had almost 20 people just fine. Instruction was great; they were patient and really able to break it down, connecting to the athlete/me (my form is horrible and I have to be told the same thing 10x to get through to my chemo fried brain.) There is no other product like CrossFit. The programming and instruction will get you your results if you want to show up, and the community will make you want to show up. ❤️ Exercise is the medicine for the chaos in our lives!

Crossfit Fortius East is an elite crossfit gym. The cadre of athlete led by Michelle and Tony are among the best in east county. The accolades this gym holds are among the most distinguished in the area. The gym environment is welcoming from the moment you enter the gym you feel welcomed. Although this gym has elite athletes they don’t have an elitist mentality. All people from all walks of life come to enjoy a good workout. I have never heard a negative word come out of any coaches mouth they are true professionals and master of their craft. Always willing to give up their personal time to assist with techniques that may not come so easily to some. They concentrate on developing the functional movements that assist with everyday life. I highly recommend this kid friendly gym to anyone who is seeking to find the best of themselves.

CrossFit Fortius East is hands down the best CrossFit gym in the San Diego area. I love the convenient location and the friendly inviting atmosphere. CFFE has to be the best family friendly gym around. Family owned and operated with deep roots into the community.
