Best Gyms with Functional Training Equipment near El-cajon, California

I LOVE it here. I started with Coach Andrea recently and she’s been so helpful and so kind. I have an autoimmune disorder that’s in the process of being diagnosed. I need to move and get stronger, but my body reacts poorly if I do too much. So we’re starting small. The gym has SO MANY lovely and inspiring sayings! Never busy and everyone is always incredibly friendly.

My favorite gym!! Thank you to Shawn for always staying on top of it! Cleanliness, atmosphere, and all around vibes are great. I plan on being at this gym for a long time :)

Great trainers!! Andrea is fabulous! She knows I like to push myself and she is my stabilizer, she keeps my workouts fun and challenging! I like the location, the size and clientele of this gym. It’s not a meat market but a gym with serious people who are taking control of their health. I love seeing older people and younger people working out next to each other and helping each other with encouragements. Great atmosphere!! Sean is a great manager!

This is the best gym I have ever been in! It’s always extremely clean! My trainer Robert pushes me! And gives me confidence that I can work out hard and safely. The manager Sean is always helping people and smiling! His presence bring a certain joyful to the gym! I have only been a member for 3 months and I can’t see myself ever going to another gym!

I’ve been coming to this gym for almost 2 years now, it’s right down the street from my house so it’s super convenient. It’s clean and I never feel uncomfortable working out here. There’s plenty of machines and space has everything I need! Will be a member for a long time!

CFFB has always felt like home to me! I started going in 2019 and have been back now in full swing. They meet you at your need and really facilitate a safe space to grow your courage in the movements as well as pushing you to new heights. I’m super grateful for the coaches who take the time to encourage, demonstrate and lead me through the movements for each class. They have early morning classes, evening classes, kids classes and an incredible recovery room! If you are looking for a gym to build muscle and community, Flashbang is the spot for you!

I’ve been doing CrossFit for a long time, so I’ve seen many gyms around the world. CrossFit Flashbang is truly the BEST community vibe of any gym I’ve ever set foot into. I’ve found my village here along with getting in the best shape of my life. The support, guidance, friendship, motivation…it’s unparalleled. I loved it so much that after doing CrossFit for 10 years I finally took the leap into coaching because I wanted to be even more involved with the Flashbang community. I love it here, these are my people…all of them. Join, you will not regret it!

I have been in Cross Fit for many years. I have been to A few different gyms but there is something special about CrossFit FlashBang. The coaches, the people, the workouts. It’s not just a gym it’s my outside family. There are activities that are done together like Sip & Swap (clothes xchange), pool parties. I did a competition & the support from people who didn’t sign up was great. There is definitely motivation & push to do better. I don’t feel intimidated or like I can’t do something because someone is always there to help or guide and direct me. If you are looking for a gym to call home FLASHBANG IS IT! Trust me

Best gym in East County! Flashbang has a phenomenal community (it’s like a big family) and the owners are the best. The recovery room is a huge plus (sauna and cold plunge). I have a work schedule with odd hours so it’s helpful being able to come workout any time of day with the 24 hour access on days I can’t make a set class time. I couldn’t recommend this guy more.

Brittney & Travis Powers - legendary gym owners who are so nice and the coaches are all top notch. They care so much for their community and they do such a great job with their beautiful gym. The space is large and great for working out. Brittney, Marion, Jax & Mike are also incredibly passionate in coaching athletes! The programming is also challenging and great for ALL skill levels. I highly encourage you to try out this gym! Only downside: assault bikes. They should get rid of them. It’s not worth it. I think I died a little bit this morning 😂 But seriously try it out! CrossFit is for everybody!

Great little gym in San Diego East county. Strength and conditioning focus, with quarterly assessments of your progress! A little gym community with the best coaches! Coaching for powerlifting, spartan racing, we even have a group of runners in our gym family! All are welcome, come try it out!

I've been a dedicated member with the trainers, namely Nick Bates, for over 6 years, and I can confidently say it’s the best fitness community I've ever been a part of. The trainers here truly excel in their craft, with a keen focus on proper form to help you build muscle effectively and, more importantly, prevent injuries. Their expertise in guiding members through workouts is unmatched. They pay special attention to each individual, ensuring that you get the most out of your sessions while staying safe. It's not just about lifting weights here; it's about doing it right. The trainers are incredibly knowledgeable, approachable, and committed to your fitness journey. Over the years, I've seen remarkable progress in my strength and overall fitness, thanks to their guidance and support. The gym itself is well-equipped, clean, and well-maintained. It's a welcoming environment that encourages you to push your limits while feeling comfortable and motivated. If you're looking for a gym where the trainers truly care about your progress, emphasize proper form, and prioritize injury prevention, this place is a hidden gem.

I’ve been an active person for as long as I can remember, with an athletic background, soccer, rock climbing, yoga, running, etc. I’ve never seen results like this until I started weight training here. The trainers here will support you every step of the journey, pushing you when you need it, supporting you during the challenging days, always meeting you where you’re at and encouraging you to be your best self. I can’t thank them all enough, it’s truly changed my life! They give detailed instructions on how to do each movement, give advice when something doesn’t feel right, give you a macro count to follow to maximize your results and reach your goals. If you’re looking for a sign to join, this is it. It’s worth every penny!

Nick and the entire crew at San Diego Elite are amazing! Great place to train amd workout!

Easily the best gym I have been too! The trainers take the time to get to know every member and help you progress in your fitness goals. I have always been an active person and thought I knew what I was doing in the gym before joining SDET but they really take you to the next level and focus on proper form and injury prevention. My hour spent at SDET has quickly become my favorite part of the day!
