I started going to this gym often recently to try for a better lifestyle change and it's definitely been one of the best places I've been to. All the trainers are active, friendly and ready to help if approached; Justin in particular was a really big help in helping me find my earbuds that I left there. Even though the space itself is relatively small, they definitely maximize what they have, with multiple of each machine and benches to help you work out whatever you need to without having to wait for too long. Would definitely recommend checking this place out, and even going that extra step to

Gym is very clean, with friendly staff, solid equipment, and large space . There are two indoor rooms and an outdoor section if you prefer lifting in in the sun, which I particularly enjoy. Wide variety of equipment with weights, squat rack, machines, treadmills etc which I also find helpful. Justin and Willie are great if you need help with anything. Overall my favorite gym in the area!

If you are looking for great trainers that are knowledgeable and really listen to what your fitness goals are & work with you to achieve them then you MUST check out Iron Orr! The gym is clean & has great equipment. The staff is professional, customer service friendly & some of the best people you will meet. Elya is my trainer and she is AWESOME! She really helps with making sure that my form is right when training to help prevent injury. With her expertise I have begun to lose body fat and gain muscle, which is my goal! Thanks Elya! Willy at the check in desk is great and last but not least Justin

Man oh man where do I start!? First of all Alisha is an angel sent from heaven. When you first start your journey with Iron Orr you will be greeted by a personal trainer and they will meet you outside the gym. First impressions you'll see a very clean and well kept facility. The trainers especially Alisha are very knowledgeable. Any question you have they will know the answer. They monitor your diet and adjust accordingly to your goals. I'm 25 years old but I haven't felt this good since I was 16 years old. I feel so good I almost want to cry of happiness. This is only my 2nd day but I can already

I can't recommend Iron Orr enough! I have been training 1:1 with Veronica for about 5 months now and the results I've seen have truly blown me away. I have never been into fitness/nutrition and Iron Orr helped educate me on customized goals and strategies that actually work and work with my busy lifestyle. Veronica has truly changed my life, helped me feel more confident, and helped me develop a true passion for fitness. They are true to their slogan: there are no egos/judgement at all - just an amazing community eager to support. Best investment I've made in a long time, thanks Iron Orr!

I really enjoyed my time with Coach Shirlley. She was awesome! I felt like I got the most of out of my workouts with her and definitely noticed a difference in my body because she helped me correct my form. Would highly recommend going to Iron Orr if you are considering getting a personal trainer!

I've had previous experience working with personal trainers at several other gyms across San Diego, but Iron Orr is hands down my favorite and has exceeded all my expectations so far. On my first consult with Paul, he took the time to ask about my background, goals, and assess my level of fitness. I got paired with Shirlley, who is AMAZING and the best personal trainer I've worked with. She is incredibly knowledgeable, always pushes and challenges me, listens well and tailors workouts to my needs. In the past, I tend to get bored very easily with workouts but that doesn't happen

I’ve been training here with Shirlley for a few months now and I could not be happier with the results. She always makes an effort to work with my schedule and understand my strengths, weaknesses, and goals in order to program highly effective work outs. The gym itself is very comfortable to be in and everyone is always so kind. If you’re looking to invest in yourself and your health, I would highly recommend Iron Orr fitness. It’s always the highlight of my week.

Best decision I ever made was signing up for Iron Orr. Training with Shirlley is awesome - She is incredibly knowledgeable, always pushes and challenges me, listens well and tailors workouts to my needs. I love that she mixes things up and constantly keeps me on my toes, which is great for someone like me who tends to get easily bored with the same workout. I also appreciate that she takes time to educate me on proper form and makes insightful observations that I otherwise wouldn't have realized working out on my own. As someone who used to dread getting out of bed in the mornings to drag myself

Beat decision I made in 2020 was to join Iron Orr Fitness. In 6 months, Will has helped me achieve goals I have been trying to achieve on my own for years. He challenges me to do things I would have never done on my own. The gym has a variety of modern equipment and space inside and outside for workouts. I look healthy, I feel healthy, and I have more confidence in myself.

Love this gym and the staff who work there. Justin and Willy are always super awesome and fun to chat to. This place has become my second home while living here at Costa Verde Village. Honestly, the space is better than most apartment gyms you’ll find out there. Highly recommend working with the trainers here to kickstart or even elevate your current fitness journey.

I have been working out with Veronica at Iron Orr Fitness , since the COVID lockdown started. She is a very dedicated trainer who will push you through your limits to reach your fitness goals . She is one of the best trainers I have had in San Diego. She helps you achieve your goals with a good mix of challenging workouts and a healthy diet plan. Love her for her work ethic , knowledge and the support she gives me during our sessions .

Best gym hands down in all of San Diego. Probably one of the best in SoCal the atmOsphere is friendly, clean, and cozy. No sales or corporate atmosphere like the name brands. The trainers are greatt. Brianna is my trainer and she is wonderful. She also takes a dietician perspective because that's what she studied.

I am training with Brett as my personal trainer. There are many things to count which I love about training with him. Before every set he explains what is the purpose of that particular exercise or move and what body areas and muscle It should engage.
He guides and motivates very well to do every rep with correct posture which I guess matters the most when you plan to do weight training.
Also he gave me my personal meal plans which are very useful. He always sends reminder for my next class which helps.
The gym also has all the equipments you need to train.

Very rare when I write a review. But the folks at Iron Orr are some of these people that inspire you to do so. I was looking for a personal trainer in my area and I found Iron Orr on Yelp. I met with Justin, the owner, who was extremely understanding of my needs and was just a classy business guy all around. He set me with Paul as my personal trainer. Paul is by far the most knowledgeable and amazing trainer I have ever worked with. He genuinely has your best interest in mind. He's generous in sharing his knowledge with you. He is always ensuring your safety. He also set me up with a great

I've been training with Paul Inga for almost a year now. During that time, I've been getting body fat and muscle mass checked monthly (which they offer). I've dropped over 25lbs of total body weight while body fat went down significantly and muscle mass increased. This is only training with him twice a week...he is that efficient with what workouts and exercises we do. I am also approaching 40 so dropping fat and gaining muscle is much harder than what it was in my 20's. Paul and Justin the owner are extremely personable while doing all they can to have you meet your goals.

I have been going here for around 6 weeks and I can see myself getting slimmer and stronger every time I work out! All thanks to my trainer Brianna! She educates, motivates and pushes me every time I'm with her training. Every workout, she makes sure that I do it properly (and not cheating) lol.
Brianna tracks what I eat and suggests what to eat for my diet. She is very informative overall, I trust her knowledge and expertise 100%!
In only 8 sessions (8hrs), I became their Client of the Week! I have lost 9lbs of fat, my body fat% went down by 3% and I gained 5.3lbs of muscle!

Best gym around! Iron Orr Fitness is the reason I live where I do. It's got everything anyone would need to get a great workout. The equipment is pristine and plentiful, rarely do you have to wait for anything. At any given time you'll see professional football and lacrosse players, Olympic athletes and, of course, you're 5pm gym rats.
5 stars for sure.

TLDR:
Chelsey is an amazing trainer who listens to her client's needs and adjusts the workouts accordingly! I'm noticeably stronger and leaner than before (all of my friends have commented on how much fitter I look, which is always a fantastic compliment). The whole team of trainers and the environment at Iron Orr are friendly and encouraging! Highly recommend Chelsey if you're looking for someone to motivate you to get strong and lean.
Long version:
I've been training with Chelsey on and off for 10 months now, with regular sessions in the recently 3 months or so. She still

Brett's a rare find as a trainer - he listens, has no ego, and makes you feel like a rockstar even when you're gassed from the volume workout he just made you do.
I've received great feedback to correct my form in our workouts and he's great at keeping me motivated through our sessions. The attention I've received has been stellar and Brett's knowledge and experience of training is impressive, so I know I'm in good hands.
In the past my biggest issue was going to the gym consistently, but training with Brett has been a breath of fresh air and has made something

Best gym of La Jolla! Love this gym!! I highly recommend Tess, she is awesome!!! She is professional and friendly. I have been training with her in the past five months, and she really cares about client's work out goals. (Usually I had two sessions per week) We had lots of fun during the training sessions. She motivated and pushed me very well. Also, the weekly work out plans she sent me by email were very helpful.
I gained more muscle now. That's what I expected at the beginning. She makes me be more confident in the gym. Five stars!!!

I'm older now and overweight...who'd of thought...and I was hopeless. But then in passing one day I remarked to KD, a trainer extraordinaire at Iron Orr, if I could loose 20 pounds in 3 months...she said yes it's possible...and she showed me the numbers. I'm halfway thru losing my 20 pounds, on track, per the food & exercise plan KD designed for ME. I, luckily, am completely satisfied with the meals and have certainly at least the same energy to continue exercising my usual classes plus some machine and home options from KD.

The amount of improvement I saw in 3 months with my trainer Paul Inga was incredible. I had made some progress powerlifting on my own, but his expertise took it to an entirely different level. My workouts were tailored specifically to my goals (which were strength-based; I learned later that other people's workouts were totally different--no cookie-cutter textbook training here). Paul was very perceptive to weaknesses and flaws in my lifting form and helped me target them. I also have very messy shoulders from 3 years of archery training; he helped me structure my shoulder training around
