I've been a member for a few years.

This gym is consistent with great coaching , wide range availability of classes, and membership fees.

During Covid the owner Jesse graciously let members borrow equipment during the first lock down due to Covid. Not sure how many other gym owners did that for their members. It just shows how much he cares for his members. He's jumped through hoops and loops, followed protocols to keep his members physically active, and help us maintain our sanity (keeping up with Covid rules to keep the gym open) during this pandemic.

This gym is full of amazing

**if you plan to get a membership here, really read the contract cause it seems they can charge you even if you put your account on hold or cancel.
My husband put his account on hold, before this hold ended he was charged for a month. My husband contacted the gym manager and was told that there was nothing that could be done because the contract states that they can charge him. Even though the hold hasn’t ended AND he cancelled his membership. Whatever, we were going to take the loss but he was charged AGAIN and now a 3rd time. Very little communication from the gym manager and NONE from the

If you're looking for the best Crossfit gym in SoCal, stop looking. This is it! Beginner or competitor (and everything in between), Fortius has you covered. I've been a member of this gym since 2014, and have stayed through a few location moves and lots of upgrades. The equipment and space is top notch, but nothing is better than the quality coaching you'll get. Coming from a sports background but never a weightlifter, it was so important to me to be taught how to lift and move correctly from the get go.
Everyone is super friendly and welcoming, and it's been so exciting to

It can be so hard to find the best gym to drop in at while traveling. In this case it’s easy though, this is the gym where you want to do your San Diego drop in. Let’s talk about why:
The Programming - honestly this is 90% of what makes or breaks a gym, right? Fortius nails the programming. Each workout has a clear and logical purpose, day to day the workouts flow together in a way that makes sense, and the wods are designed to be motivating. Loooooved the programming.
The coaching - love dropping in and getting a new perspective from a coaches and collecting tips or guidance I’ve never

I found crossfitfortius thru a friend and instagram, even pandemic hit where all the gym closedown they were doing classes outdoor. I went to go check out the place since Ive been looking for a gym where I would feel safe working out. I am a covid survivor and my fear from covid is real so I wanna make sure that I avoid any exposure as possible. The gym is pretty spacious and the max capacity is well followed which I appreciate. After class equipments are well cleaned and stored. Everyone are respectful of maintaining mask on when outside your own space. After each class no one are allowed

Bad a former D-1 athlete, the programming was most important to me in choosing a gym. Fortius has the best programming I've seen in SD: no injuries, smart and strategic scaling, and a workout complex that the newest to the most experience athlete can handle.

I went to college up the hill from Fortius. Upon beginning school, I wanted to start crossfit, and it just happened to be the closest gym to school. I am glad it was. The coaches and overall community at the gym were very friendly, something refreshing compared to the typical "bubble" one may experience at a larger gym. The workouts are nice and short, but plenty hard enough--I call that efficient. I can say that Fortius put me into probably the best overall physical shape of my life. Would definitely recommend!

I’d heard good things about this gym so when I decided to try CrossFit I saw their free introductory week and signed up to try it out. I’d never lifted before in my life and the coaches took as much time as I needed to teach me the lifts in a safe way. They’re always super encouraging and willing to answer every question, and I went back almost every day until I had to move out of state. I didn’t expect anything when I first tried it but what I found was a sweet community and a really fun atmosphere!

I've been a member of Fortius for over a year now. Before coming to Fortius I had tried a few other CrossFit gyms out, but after trying out Fortius I knew I had found the right place. What sets Fortius apart from the others is the coaching staff, from the thorough warm ups, to the great technique demonstrations. It's apparent that the coaches here love what they do, and wanna ensure your getting the most out of your training when your in the building. The coaching staff is always welcoming and approachable, and constantly gives out great individualized feedback. The programming is also

I was in town for two separate week long trainings. CrossFit Fortius was there only box I could find running a program that would accept drop-ins. They complied with all COVID restrictions (even though I would've preferred to be inside it's completely understandable). They are doing their best to make everything work with the restrictions. I was able to get a week long drop-in rate which was cool and the price was reasonable.

I have one more training coming up and will definitely be returning. The coaches are knowledgeable and ppl are friendly.

Only con I have is they were out of shirts

I was in a fitness routine rut and wanted to find something more engaging. After trying several types of workouts (OrangeTheory, F45, Core Power, Powerhouse Pilates, Fit, etc) I discovered Fortius and am really thankful to have found something that checks all the boxes. The coaches are very welcoming and knowledgeable, always taking time to answer questions or give individualized feedback. The workouts are varied and challenging, plus scalable options are always provided. The facility and equipment are great but the sense of community really makes this place stand out.

I tried several different gyms before deciding on Fortius 2 years ago, and it was definitely the right choice. The programming is challenging, but can be scaled to any level. The coaches are all extremely helpful, great people, and it's a very friendly and welcoming environment. I'm the strongest I've ever been because of the programming at Fortius.

Before joining Fortius, I was at the Y safe in the belief that I was staying fit. Then my wife joined CrossFit Fortius. I made the ‘joining a cult’ jokes. I warned her of the ‘injuries’ of CrossFit. After a couple of months I saw how much her body trimmed and her fitness level improved. I couldn’t argue with my eyes, so I went to a few classes with her. I was humbled and addicted. CrossFit by its nature pushes you, but injuries only occur if you don’t heed the coaches. The programming at Fortius is very smart and effective. The coaches are great and always watching to guide your movements

I dropped-in at Crossfit Fortius and honestly, I wished it was my gym! I loved the workouts! The first day I had Ryan. He continuously checked in with me to make sure I was fine and knew the movements even though I had prior crossfit experience. He encouraged everyone and when I was winded and wanted a break between the 4th and 5th round of double unders, he stood right next to me and made sure I pushed myself. I hated him for it in the moment, but I know that's the kind of coaching I need if I want to get stronger.

The facility is large with plenty of space for a class of 15-20. They have
