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’ve been a member of Crossfit Flood for almost 4 years now and it’s an awesome gym with great, great people. The trainers are supportive and push you to be your best, but recognize everyone is at a different level of fitness. After spending years at the Y or trying to keep fit on my own, the atmosphere of community and challenge is what keeps me going back for more. The classes are small enough that you’ll get individual attention, and you’re sure to know people by name when you leave after your first session.

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

Before I joined CrossFit Flood in the summer of 2012, I was a member of 24 Hour Fitness. All I cared about was lifting weights and getting bigger. When I first started CrossFit, I was afraid of getting weaker since many of the workouts are so cardio heavy. Not only did I get stronger, I also increased my cardiovascular endurance substantially.

This place is so great!! Today was my first day of the free week and I tried out a group session with Coach Mike. He is so very helpful and detail-oriented-- it made this noob cross fitter feel so much more at ease and comfortable. I've had previous fitness experience, but felt that this was what I needed to boost my energy and take my anxiety/ frustrations, etc etc etc. out and boy it succeeded. Can't wait to come back for the rest of the week and possibly become a member in the near future! Thanks Flood CrossFit!!

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 🙂

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.

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.

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! 🙂

Crossfit Flood’s trainers/owners, Mike and Brian, are awesome. They are concerned with your form throughout everything, which you hear a lot about when listening to people rag on Crossfit. They push you to your limits without screaming at you like maniacs. At Flood you find the true spirit of Crossfit. The trainers and the members cheer each other on; whether in competition with one another or just on the sideline everyone just wants the people working out to feel better and be better than they were the day before. Whether you’re setting a goal to lose weight, to get stronger, or to become more generally healthy and fit, Brian and Mike are there for you and will help you reach your goals.

Mike and Brian are great guys who are running a fantastic gym. I dropped in at CF Flood for the first time about 2 years ago and Brian welcomed me in open arms. I came back yesterday (Feb 2015) and Mike greeted me as if I was a regular and made me feel right at home... I’ve been to a number of boxes around the US and in Europe during my travels and I have to say that Flood is the friendliest and most professional of all the boxes I’ve dropped in on. I’d highly recommend joining CF Flood and being part of the fantastic workouts and great community Mike and Brian have put together. I look forward to my next visit to San Diego and dropping in on a class again.

It was the first time I was able to work out and give 100% while not feeling weird for making grunting noises, or have to apologize for leaving a trail of sweat behind me. It was great to compete against the others in my class and engage in camaraderie as a result of the extremely difficult workout we endured together. My hands were getting torn apart, my shins scraped up, and I was sore in places that I didn’t know muscles existed – and I loved every minute of it. Listen to me, I sound like a beast. Well I assure you I’m not, but I definitely feel like one after completing a WOD.

Thomas O’Hara

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'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.

Ali L.

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

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!

Tony B.

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!

Jesse M.

Great atmosphere; super nice people; coaching rocks! Started going there late last year. I'm not the most physically adept guy on earth, and the coaches there were and are super helpful. Love attending Flood!

Crossfit has changed my exercise experience. For the first time ever,working out is not a chore; I look forward to going to the gym. The variety of exercise is tremendous. We do so many different things I have no opportunity to get bored or in a routine. I like the discipline of selecting the days I work out and accepting the posted exercise routine for that day – it makes me challenge and push myself in ways I have not before.

Greg Markow

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!

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.

I have been here two times, its small but don't let that fool you. The trainers and the work outs are intense. Will have your heart pumping and body sweating! I recommend trying this gym out if you live around the area, its kinda' hidden but its behind Harley Davidson Dealer (update: Harley Davidson moved...future home of Tesla). Give it a try, you too will be impressed.
