My husband and I joined CrossFit Flood in February 2012. I couldn’t even do a full (air) squat that first intro class, but I knew I wanted to come back for more. The trainers were so encouraging and all those “crazy CrossFitters” were actually down to earth and just as encouraging as the trainers. I felt instantly supported and never once has someone rolled their eyes or chuckled at me when I have to scale my workouts. We cheer each other on to do our best and help each off the floor after a tough WOD. I was never a “strong” girl, but I know I am stronger now than I have ever been. And yes, even the girl that couldn’t do a squat, can now squat 100lbs!

This place is awesome!!! coaches are great and knowledgeable, work out is brutal but satisfying and the community is the best part. I never liked sport but I fell in love with CrossFit thanks to Mike and his team. I'm 36 years old and in the best shape of my life

Excellent kids CrossFit classes on the weekends! Mike is patient and makes the class fun for the kids. My kids are sweaty and happy when they leave class. Both of my kids are not interested in sports so I'm happy that they found a physical activity they love. I think Mike is a big reason why my kids are enjoying their introduction to CrossFit. He's a great teacher! Does a good job explaining movements, and I'm impressed at how well he keeps the kids interest and focus!

Dropped in this last week when I was in town on travel. Walked through the door and was immediately approached by coach Mike. He asked about my background and gave me a quick rundown of the gym. I wasn’t able to make the CrossFit class but was able to join their Oly lifting class which was a huge help for me as I don’t get to spend as much time as I’d like to on it. Really helpful coach and welcoming athletes. Excited to drop in again next time in town.

I love the camaraderie and the encouragement of all the members in the gym, both men and women. The coaches really take their time to get to know each individual’s strengths and weaknesses and push you just far enough. There’s nothing like hearing “add more weight to the bar” from Coach Brian and receiving that smile from him when I accomplish a new PR on a lift. I am also becoming a “cool mom” and role model for my kids. My 6-year old daughter said to me, “That was cool mom when you did those handstands. I didn’t know you could do that.” Or when she sees the calluses on my hands and realizes that mom can swing from the monkey bars too (pull up bars in my case). Thank you CrossFit Flood and all of the members that continue to push me forward!

I was once that girl that would hide in the corner of the gym and do my short cardio session super early so not one would see me because i didnt want to be made fun of.. BUT NOW I am unstoppable,committed, proud and motivated all thanks to my family at Crossfit Flood!! This place and my new love for CROSSFIT changed my LIFE COMPLETELY! I found more that what I expected here at flood! I found community,support, dedication and genuine coaches and people who really want to see each other meet our goals! I was so scared to join CrossFit with 0 experience and being overweight, however, that fear went away after the first day of coming here! It’s never too late to make positive changes in your life, whether you are ready or not, Flood will make you feel like you have it all together!! •Joined July 5, 2017

I absolutely love the community that this gym has, the energy and the caring coaches. They're always there to support you and keep you motivated. I really appreciate that you can scale and modify workouts based on your fitness level and strength. The coaches are there to help you and ensure you don't injure yourself. CrossFit is a great investment on your physical and mental well being. Highly recommend 🙂

First time here today! Wow, what a gym. I'm used to other gyms but this one is specifically for CrossFit training. I am new on the journey and will continue to come here to get the results I've been looking for. After losing almost 80lbs. I'm not comfortable enough in my own skin to push further. Owner/ Coach Mike gave me a tour. Gave me knowledge and helped me feel at home here. I will be back in the next few weeks for the start of the New You Challenge (6 week program). I look forward to these results and eating the proper portions for me. Thank you for making me feel welcome !!!

This place had become my home away from home! I had been wanting to check out CrossFit for awhile so my husband and I got the one week free trial. I never expected to find such an awesome community/family! The coaches are very knowledgeable, helpful and motivating.

Amanda

Great community. Members are welcoming and supportive of each other.Coaches are great. This the only reasonably priced CF gym in San Diego.

I've always said the hardest part is walking in the door, especially for the first time. If you've been thinking about trying CrossFit but feel intimidated or think you need to be in better shape before you start, just come in. The coaches are amazing and will scale any workout to meet your current ability. The other members will welcome you and cheer you on. If you've been in CrossFit for a while and looking for a new box, this is the place. I've been part of a few different gyms and this one is it. Coach Mike, the owner, genuinely loves what it does, cares about the members of his gym and creating a community of all types of people with the same goal...to live a healthier life. I can't believe how much progress I've made in the past year and I couldn't have done it on my own. I love the Flood family and you will too.

I recently came back to CrossFit Flood after a little absence over a year and a half maybe. Coach Mike is awesome; he's also the owner. We have new coaches that are awesome - they encourage me and push me to get the best out of my workouts. I had gained a few pounds, and have been back for a month and have lost weight already. The box has also gone thru renovations; we have new equipment and a larger space - 5,000 square feet. It's not only a CrossFit but a strong community of individuals there for many reasons. CrossFit Flood is definitely worth every penny. You might think you're paying a lot, but not really, the benefits of being fit and happy have no price. Plus the things I'm learning, translates into my life. Where I'm like it's okay, little by little I'll get there. Just like anything, it takes time and hard work. CrossFit Flood will help you get to where you want to be and you'll have coaches pushing you to your limits and they will cheer you on and encourage you, EACH step of the way!

Sometimes all we need is an extra push, and coaches Brian and Mike are always there to make sure we are reaching our potential. They push us beyond our physical and mental comfort zones to show us what we are truly capable of. They have been phenomenal in their efforts to make us better everyday. I have met so many great people that keep me going, and Brian and Mike–as well as the rest of the community–are the most motivating factor for me. I am happy to call CrossFit Flood my family! 🙂

Angie Abdallah

Great community of regular people working hard towards being more fit and healthy. The workouts are great for all levels because the coaches help everyone find scales or extras to push each individuals abilities. I have been going to this gym since 2015.

David Fradelizio

I first walked through the door of CrossFit Flood two years ago. I was middle aged, overweight, super stressed, and tired all the time. Coach Mike and Coach Brian were welcoming and informative. I immediately bought into the philosophy of CrossFit and I was excited to get started. Of course I had to scale almost every workout but I didn’t care. I started to make slow but steady progress and occasionally I can do a workout as prescribed (RX)! Everyone at CrossFit Flood is so nice and I am actually having fun exercising! Here I am, two years later, at 50 years old, and I have never felt better in my whole life. This past year I signed up for the CrossFit Open, competed in three USAW weightlifting competitions and the Rumble in Paradise, an invitational CrossFit Competition in San Diego.

Maria Barnabe

Since joining CrossFit, I’ve reached a level of fitness I didn’t know I had in me, and I’m NEVER bored. Although I’m not a competitive person, the group atmosphere still motivates me, because I’m with people I respect and enjoy. The encouragement and camaraderie of CrossFit Flood and the CrossFit community as a whole are amazing. I’ll never go back to a traditional gym!

Rachael Anderson

I’ve been coming here for almost 4 months now. The trainers that I’ve met (Mike & Ahri) are great! Both very motivational and knowledgeable. I was just looking to get back in shape, but found much more! It’s definitely challenging, but much more rewarding. Even the people in the classes are great! I can’t say enough about this place! I’ve made a lot of progress with a lot more to go and I won’t be stopping any time soon. Thanks to everyone here that has, and continues to help me be better!

Josh C.

Great location and friendly staff! I’m new to cross-fit and very surprised at the results in such a short period of time. I wish I started a long time ago. If getting in the best shape of your life interests you..give it a shot. You won’t be disappointed!

This cf box still has the feel of cf gyms from 6+ years ago... What you do have is a close knit group of trainers and members that make for a great experience. Lots of support and knowledge floating around here. Their pricing is more in line with reality than other boxes in the area. But here’s their best attribute, in my opinion. The programming! It is done logically. It makes sense. It’s exactly what I expect from a cf gym and that is, overall fitness. This gym deserves the positive reviews it’s receiving. Keep up the good work!

Chris N.

Very knowledgeable and friendly team here! The gym is a nice size with a big back area. The coaches Mike and Jared are super cool and friendly. They are attentive the whole class while at the same time keeping it fun. There seems to an a lot of people who do bjj here too for their strength training. I would recommend this place for all levels. Also plenty of parking.

Ian Hernandez

What an amazing group of people! Not only did they win me over with the community they've created but the programming they have is pretty legit. If you're looking for a place to drop in at or even call your home, this is where you should go! I can't wait to visit the area again so I can WOD with everyone again! Until next time guys & gals!

Stevie D.

Super awesome CrossFit gym in the Kearny Mesa area. I checked out a morning class. The coach was very welcoming and helpful in teaching the workouts. Great vibes. Totally knowledgeable and friendly coach. Really cool people in the gym too! The gym is a bit hidden in the back area of the warehouse area but it's a nice spot once you find it! Everything you could want from a CrossFit gym. I'm totally signing up! Totally check them out if you're in the central SD area!

I have been part of the CrossFit Flood family since March of 2010. When I first started CrossFit I was nervous and out of shape. I knew the stigma about CrossFit and was not sure I was ready for this type of intensity. What I found was a community open to every ability level. The encouragement to give each workout my best yet work at my own ability has been incredible. I now have great friends who I look forward to seeing each week. I know they will be both encouraging and push me to do the best I can. CrossFit Flood is the only gym I have ever found with this type of community.

Jeremy Hamm

I love this place! I wrote a review on their FB page but I'll just reiterate how I love this CrossFit community. The coaches are excellent and the programming is a beast and a killer but it kicks my butt and i love it. Everyone always encourages me despite me being the slowest in the class. Just a great positive community and I'm glad I found this box. Coach Mike and Jared are awesome!
