I have been training on and off for majority of my life trying a variety of workouts and sports. Every workout has been something I have never done lol. Each workout I am doing something new and challenging and catered to the specific areas I need to work on. I like how he focuses his workouts on making impacts mentally and physically with my daily activities and hobbies like golf and muay thai. I look forward to my workouts instead of dreading to go. I look forward to seeing the long-term results from working out with George-Anthony. Thank you!

I signed up for the 12 week better body challenge March 2020. I have had 4 classes thus far and boy was I not expecting it. I like to think of myself as a disciplined athletic individual. I eat pretty healthy and I work out 5-6 days a week.
However when I went to my first group class, I realized that my Normal workout routine had become complacent. We did not touch one weight and my body was sore in places that I didn't imagine existed. The greatest part of it is the group that I've come to adore are all ages and from every walk of life.
It's been one week and I can already feel

I had ClassPass for about 2 years and went to dozens of gyms around town. As someone who works out 5-6 days/week, when ClassPass got rid of unlimited classes, their model no longer worked for my budget. I chose Brainstorm Fitness (was Function First back then) as my sole gym because of the trainers, the other members of the gym and the amazing classes. From day one, everyone in every class was super welcoming and it felt like a community, not just a gym. The trainers are AMAZING and you won't find workouts like theirs anywhere else (I know because I've tried a majority of them). Brainstorm

Brainstorm Fitness is a high quality operation. The facility is clean and well-organized, with a wide range of equipment for functional training including TRX, ViPR and standard free weights, med balls of various types, ropes, bands, and the oh-so-awesome Core-Tex. The owner, George-Anthony, and his team of trainers are simply great. I love Julia's morning classes, especially the cardio-focused interval training - it's a perfect way to start the day!

I just started attending through class pass and I wish I could go everyday! George Anthony and Julia have been my instructors and they are great. The work outs are different everyday and they are fun and challenging. You feel like you get one on one attention. All the members are range in age. They are all so nice and supportive too! Great place for functional fitness regardless of age.

I cannot say enough about George-Anthony and Brainstorm fitness! I came looking for a transformation (mind and body) and that's exactly what I'm getting. The unique training style George-Anthony and his trainers deliver is so effective. I have trained with other great trainers and in other great gyms but this training is different. It's more than weights and functional exercises. This is "SMART" fitness. It's about mobility, intensity and variation. It's transformative! Every class is different, even the equipment is crazy different. My body hasn't had an

Great workout and best trainer.
If you really want to improve your health, you can't make a better choice. I start the gym with several injures, a broken wrist and a really bad shape! After less than 4 months I rebuilt my condition, my spirit and I feel rebirth with -25lb. Only one word NO EXCUSES!!
Thanks for your help Anthony

Brainstorm Fitness is truly something special. It's a small gym run with passion and a clear commitment to the health of their clients. A boutique gym with equipment and methods you will find nowhere else in San Diego, I love the unique training methods and the fact that there are no crowds. They specialize in functional and corrective personal training and small group classes where each person is given individualized attention and instruction. They also have a passion for martial arts and offer amazing muy thai and boxing classes offered by actual trained and professional fighters!

Ouch!!! Sorry, that was my core talking after taking the Ab Lab class. George-Anthony kicked my butt this week w/his ab class but I will be thanking him after 3 pieces of garlic bread I had tonight & ice cream earlier this week! Brainstorm is a great spot to train if you're looking for fun & dynamic classes. I have the attention span of a squirrel so I enjoyed his class because we did different exercises throughout - enough to keep my attention for an hour! He has some equipment that other gyms don't have like the core-tex & the viper. Also, I took a class with Charles that

George-Anthony is a great coach! gets you to do things you never thought you can do! the facility is extremely clean, the focus and attention from the trainers are pristine and their equipment is state of the art! I've been to numerous training facilities that focus on one or two of these items, but this place takes the CAKE.
Love this place - and can't wait to go back :D

Just completed 10 sessions with george-anthony-
wanted to switch up my weightlifting routine and he definitely came through with new exercises, movements, and paradigms
his new spot has the usual gear as mentioned in other reviews but it also has unique equipment- THE core-tex, some crazy sphere dumbbells, and a core stix trainer (you just have to witness it as it may be the only one in town)
i highly recommend brainstorm fitness and will definitely return to george-anthony in a couple months.

I can't say enough about what a great experience I had with George-Anthony! I have met alot of personal trainer's as a Business Banker which is how I met George-Anthony and I can say without a doubt that he was the only one that inspired me to give this thing a shot. He tought me how to workout the right way and how to be creative and make the most use of my time at the gym. I no longer circle around the gym waiting for machines or benches to be available. My waist is smaller, my legs are bigger, pretty much he took me to the next level and I will definitely be back! If you want someone
