CrossFit Escondido

Bri is a remarkable coach - she breaks down movements for me in a way that I understand and makes the workout challenging and fun!

Always love Chris’ coaching! Energetic, informative and attentive!

I love your classes because you always explain how to do things properly so we don’t hurt ourselves, and you correct us when needed. You’re always paying attention to make sure we’re doing everything right and for encouraging us. Thank you for being such a great coach!

Emily is fantastic! Very thorough explanations of why we were doing the warmup & prep for snatch work. She gave scaling options & weight suggestions that could be tailored to each individual as needed. She has a good eye for technique & she’s fun!

I always get good tips from the coaches at CFE - Bella has given me some key pointers that have really helped my lifting. Very grateful to be part of this crossfit community! 💪

DJ is very knowledgeable and passionate about coaching. His enthusiasm is infectious and motivating

Coach Dj makes every workout at CrossFit Escondido very enjoyable by personalizing the sessions to fit our needs. His encouragement and clear instructions help keep you motivated throughout the class. His energy keeps you wanting to coming back.

As always, great coaching, instructions were clear

Briana is a great coach who is consistently encouraging throughout every workout. She offers clear, practical tips on form and technique Her positive attitude lifts the energy in the gym, and I'm genuinely excited to come back for the next workout.

Hannah has always been a very good coach, instructor and friend to all. I’m forever learning something every time I come in.

Dj is the best he is patient fun and knowledgeable.

Awesome coaching by Chris! From the moment I stepped in for my first day at CrossFit Escondido, he gave me all the details and information I needed so I didn’t feel lost or overwhelmed. Instead of just throwing me into the workout, Chris carefully explained each movement and the proper form, making sure I understood before I started. His clear guidance and constant check-ins kept me confident and focused, turning what could have been a confusing experience into one where I felt capable and ready to tackle every exercise. Thanks to his support, I never felt like a fish out of water.

Always welcoming and help with accommodations. I always sweat and trust I’ll get a good workout in a positive environment

Great class! Emily is a great coach. I love all the improvements to the gym.

Nice work, Bella D! Keep it up!

Gym was awesome! It was early in the morning so very few people were there but everyone worked hard and were supportive of me being new and the instructor was motivating and positive the entire time.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Coach Emily was awesome this morning. Even though it was an early Monday and I wasn’t fully feeling it, she brought great energy and support throughout the 40-minute HYROX-style workout. She did a fantastic job helping with smart scaling while still pushing us to apply our best effort. Encouraging, attentive, and motivating—exactly the kind of coaching that makes a tough workout feel achievable and rewarding.

Hannah is an amazing coach. She goes into detail on the workout of the day. Shows you exactly how to do each movement. She’s great !!!

Hannah is a fantastic CrossFit instructor - I believe she has a genuine interest in making sure all participants - regardless of age or ability - feel welcome and comfortable with the workouts and make progress towards their individual goals. As a senior, I appreciate the one on one coaching and tailoring of workouts to match my abilities.

We had an awesome experience with Chris! He was very encouraging, corrected form when needed, felt supported from the very beginning. Challenging exercise but very fun, he was also super nice.

Fantastic interval workout between strengthening shoulders and cardio portions, great way to start my New Year!

Hannah is a very motivational coach, definitely recommend her!!!

What’s one positive change you’ve noticed since joining CrossFit Escondido?

Great class as always. Hannah was very helpful and led the class thoroughly. She did a great warm up after explaining the workout of the day and then gave enough time before the start of the workout. She was motivating and walking around during the metcon which was a good way to ensure people are working out properly and avoiding injury.

Sorry this feedback is coming in late. I always enjoy the classes you program and coach. Hyrox style! 😀 You provide clear direction and coaching as well as bring positive energy. Keep up the great work!

Loved the workout! The vibe was super positive and fun and the exercises were challenging but easily scaled for my ability. Glad I went today! Coach DJ seems super approachable and kept the energy high.

Bella is amazing! She helped my sister Stephanie who is new to CrossFit a lot and made sure she was comfortable and understood the workout. 10/5 stars. Thanks Bella!

First time attending CrossFit Escondido and DJ was our coach! From the moment we arrived, he made us feel welcome by greeting everyone with a friendly smile and clear instructions. Throughout the workout, DJ supported us by carefully observing our form, suggesting adjustments to avoid injury, and offering encouragement when the exercises got tough. He personalized the session by scaling movements to match each person’s ability, ensuring everyone could keep up and get the most out of the class. The energy in the room was motivating, and DJ’s guidance helped me push through moments when I wanted to quit. I will be going back and look to attend his class again because the combination of his support and the challenging workout made it a truly rewarding experience.

My first day at CrossFit Escondido, and Coach DJ made me feel welcome from the start. Right away, he took the time to introduce himself and explain the workout, making sure I understood each exercise. I had a great time working out with so many like minded people. Very supportive environment. Overall a great experience, will be making this my new gym.

Great experience with Dan, as with every Tues/Thurs 6am Dan pays attention to every person in class and gives personalized feedback, pushes and challenges us, and makes it fun along the way. Not to mention the playlist is FIRE

Dan is great to make sure we have a proper warm up and stretching before getting started. He’s encouraging during the workout and making sure of proper form.

Very friendly and makes accommodations for the best most comfortable workout.

Very warm and welcoming! Thorough coach-led warm-up and post-WOD mobility 🙂

Em is great! Very good at explaining what you're supposed to do, how you're supposed to do it, and gently helps you when you need it. She's awesome!

After small break for the holidays it was great to get in a great workout thanks to DJ.

Hannah is an amazing teacher and was able to manage even a large class. She gave great tips during class to make sure my daughter and I had correct form and we also felt motivated and encouraged! Great workout and super fun!

Coach Emily gives the best workout overviews. Other coaches, but especially DJ 🥸, need to take notes. With a number 2 pencil 📝. I find that I have the least amount of questions after one of her overviews and thus feel comfortable going into the WOD. She does a good job of going through the workout examples sequentially, which is easy for me to follow Coach Emily is patient with encouragement as needed, but also fair and honest in the workout, so that everyone is pushing themselves to the pace that the workout is designed to be pushed at. On a very subjective level, I enjoy the trust she gives me, and when she brings her dog 🐶

Emily provides great overview of the movements to ensure proper form, helps modifications when needed and is engaged during the workout. Thanks Emily

As always, Chris is full of energy and positivity, which makes the class feel like a breeze, even when it’s not at all easy.

Loving the group workout sessions with DJ. He’s got a gift for motivating and inspiring you to push harder, but to also make you feel completely comfortable modifying and listening to your body to not over do it. I feel like I get a really great work out - that sore the next day but I can still walk normal and function kinda feeling! The programs are really well designed too, and I’m never bored. Loving the sense of community as well, everyone really supports each other. See you there!!

It was my first time doing Crossfit but Coach Dj was awesome, very helpful and motivating. Will definitely come back again.

emily is great!! supportive friendly and outstanding at modifying the workouts to my beginner level she is wonderful

Dan always watches out for me. And is quick to scale the work out to fit my abilities.

I love DJ’s vibe and coaching style. He keeps the humour going throughout the class. I also really like how he explains each movement and how it affects the muscles being worked on.

Thanks for your encouragement on this tough class 😅

It was a challenging yet achievable workout with a variety of exercises. We had the opportunity to increase the challenge based on our individual desires. As always, Chris provided a positive environment to get it all done.

Coach DJ was great. From the warmup, to the skill and to the workout, he explained everything well and to my understanding. Made class fun, even though running sucks lol. It was a great class.

Hannah did great! She warmed us up well and did a good job with a larger class demo’ing the movements and providing good scaling options.

Dan frustrates me but he is so good about breaking down the moves. He sees my frustration and pushes me further. I appreciate how much he helps me complete the moves correctly even though I’m frustrated. Thank you for helping me today, your guidance really made a difference.

10/10 always !

Thanks Chris for the personal attention and suggestions. Look forward to coming back.

Emily is an outstanding CrossFit coach! Her instructions are clear and effective, making every session both productive and enjoyable. I truly appreciate how attentive she is, always ensuring I maintain proper form to prevent injuries. Thanks to her guidance, I feel confident and safe during workouts. Highly recommend her fun and engaging classes!

Such a good class! Will be back sometime soon, and again when we’re back in town for Christmas!

Great job. Helpful and supportive.

Emily did an excellent job coaching this morning. Coaching rope climbs to a large class can be challenging, especially with such a broad range of abilities. Emily broke us into two groups so one group could work on basics and the other could focus on climbs and decent. After working on technique, we reviewed the WOD and got down to business of squatting and sweating. Good class!

Really appreciate the breakdown of each movement and tips throughout. The lighthearted atmosphere makes the workouts fun!

I came in not anything. I was nervous because I've never done this kind of exercise let alone any workouts. My first day was supposed to be just "checking it out" but I stayed instead and tried it out. Dj was super understanding and very professional. Making sure I was alright and not pushing myself, even though I think I did haha. Overall 2 days experience were really good. Absolutely going to come back for the real workouts!!

She is super duper nice and helped me scale the workout to what I could handle. Was very encouraging and really explained how to do things well :)

It’s always an amazing experience to interact with all the CrossFit Escondido coaches! All of them, thank you!

As great as always

Coach Dan is always well prepared and pushes the class to be the best they can be every session.

What an awesome coach and what an amazing workout today! So many good vibes at this gym. Had the BEST workout, thanks so much for having me.

Had a blast for my first drop in. Great class and workout. Thanks for having me.

Amazing as always. I appreciate that she is hard on me

AMAZING super welcoming and helpful l. gave some great tips!

Emily was absolutely amazing. I am a beginner and she was very kind and welcoming. She was very patient as she helped me through all of the movements, making sure I had proper form. Gave me great feedback as well. I had a wonderful first day at her class!

As usual fun and challenging! A great way to start the morning. Thanks coach DJ!

She did great. Focused on having the class warm up the area needed for the workout. Explained the wod step by step.

Great class, efficient warmup, precise technic demonstration

It was my first time at CrossFit Escondido and Carrie was the trainer. She made Lauren and I feel welcomed and made sure we felt included. It was a great workout and will be going back.

Emily is an amazing coach and person. She is engaging, helpful, supportive, encouraging and thorough.

Casey is really hitting her stride with SHC and today gave a couple cue on stones that were really helpful/insightful. She is also always down the wrassle an errant, squirmy baby when needed💪🏻

Coach was great! Helped me with my form, kept it light and fun, clear instructions, awesome workout, fun music, kiddo was playing in the kids area having a great time too. Thanks!

Super welcoming & helpful with explaining movements I’d never done before during the shoulder mobility portion. Also very helpful with cues for the split snatch

Emily was great and supportive. Well be coming back to her classes

Emily explains the explains the exercises clearly and helps with any modifications I need. She is a great motivator and keeps class entertaining.

Excellent instruction, coach took time with the warm up and explaining key points to the workout, good vibes, all around top notch.

Carrie was great!

I truly appreciated the clear communication and encouragement that DJ provided that led to me attending my first CrossFit class. I enjoyed the first morning class I attended because I was able to challenge myself through the workout but also go at my own pace.

Fun day today

I’ve been taking Sweat classes at CrossFit Escondido, and I can’t say enough great things about Coach Chris Kenyon. Even though he’s relatively new, Chris brings an impressive level of knowledge, energy, and professionalism to every session. He’s incredibly kind, supportive, and always takes the time to make sure everyone is moving safely and getting the most out of their workout. What really sets Chris apart is how fun and approachable he is. He creates a welcoming atmosphere that makes you actually look forward to workouts! Highly recommend taking a class with Chris at CrossFit Escondido.

Coach Dj is always extremely helpful! Every session he coaches allows me to be comfortable with not being at the top level but my level and just work on improving each time. Having an encouraging coach makes all the difference.

Great gym. DJ is awesome. If you’re visiting you should drop in. If you live in the area you should join!

Coach Mia is a powerhouse of positivity and knowledge! Always uplifting and encouraging while breaking down movements with clarity and expertise. I really enjoyed how she incorporated mobility at the end of our workout today! Really seeing that PT aid position come in handy !

I think coaching CrossFit might be the only thing Dan knows how to do well.

Fun Saturday! Thanks Dan! 👍🏼👍🏼

Great!

Great gym! Lots of space and equipment.

DJ was great! It was my first time doing CrossFit and he made me feel very comfortable and was able to critique my form without being overbearing. Would recommend!

Really have been enjoying the workouts and the community built in the SWEAT classes! Challenging but modifications are always available, Chris does a good job explaining the movements.

Excellent!

Mia is an amazing coach! Her work outs push you and she is an encouraging coach. I always feel great after Mia’s class!

Conlan is an incredible coach. He is lighthearted, yet knowledgeable. He is calm, yet present, and is always walking around and giving corrections as needed. Today was a great example of that. It was a tough workout and he was so positive and encouraging throughout.

Mia is a great coach!

Coach Emily is the bomb! I’ve been doing CF forever and I still learn something new from Coach Emily every time. The atmosphere of this gym is amazing, a fun place to be and always a great workout.

Chris is always supportive and

The only coach I could pick was DJ but Chris did a great job today. I enjoy his coaching very much.

Great space and atmosphere. Will be back

Great day back at CrossFit. Conlan did an awesome job of coordinating the class with so many people.

My first week at CrossFit Escondido has been amazing! I had class with Conlan today, and he was a great instructor, he explained everything clearly, making it easy for me to progress step by step. I really appreciate his help and patience. I wish I had some feedback for improvement, but honestly, the experience was excellent for me. Thanks, Conlan!

I really liked the detail in the warm up and the ideas to improve during the lifts.

She was very helpful and I love how friendly everyone is.

Emily is a great coach to work with. She demos every move and watches the classes closely to see who needs an adjustment in their movement. She is also very good in giving scaling options

It was fun and challenging for me. Looking forward to the next class.

Emily is a fantastic coach! Knowledgeable and controls the chaos even with a giant class. I love how far the gym has come with the new ownership! I’m super pumped on the direction it’s going. My personal preference is workouts with more heavy lifting Olympic lifts etc. and not trying to offend anyone but I think question of the day time can be better spent with movement prep mobility or more warmup.

Emily is an amazing coach! Her energy, motivation, and dedication make every workout both challenging and fun. She’s always attentive to proper technique, ensuring we train safely and effectively. Thanks to her support✨ She’s simply the best!”

Had a great first class. The atmosphere was very inviting and I’m excited to come back!

Coach DJ always pushes you to work harder but is also very supportive. Everyone at the gym consistently provides encouragement. I really enjoy the community atmosphere at this gym. 👍🏼

More hip hop!!

Coach was awesome as always !!

Chris is the best, he is professional, has a great sense of humor, is very knowledgeable and he does care about you and how you are doing things properly without hurting yourself by exercising.

Excellent class. Great instruction and feedback throughout.

He did a good job on helping me work on my kip and bmu

Every class I attend I enjoy. The coach is very knowledgeable and sets me up for success. It all starts with a great warm up to preform for the WOD.

Class was great, awesome programming following a holiday. Dj gave some helpful pointers to help when the lift got “heavy”.

Emily brings such a great energy every day. She is incredibly knowledgeable and does an amazing job finding ways to convey that information to all levels within the class. Highly recommend Coach Emily and CrossFit Escondido!

Good energy for being a early class. Great movement prep, lift coaching and skill work. Highly recommend. Looking forward to the next.

As always, Coach Mia's infectious energy, unwavering enthusiasm, and unconditional dedication create an unforgettable experience in every class.
