Im not sure I can accurately describe how much I love this gym, but Ill do my best.... About 6 months ago I decided Id had enough of my jelly belly and needed help. Id heard a lot about CrossFit, so I googled gyms in my area and came across Mission CrossFit. It took a few days (actually it was more like weeks), but I finally got my big butt in there, and boy am I glad I did. Being so out of shape, I was incredibly nervous my first day. I was immediately put at ease by Justin, my trainer for the day (hes also the owner). He went into great detail and thoroughly explained every aspect of the workout for me, making me feel less pathetic than I felt. I was completely drained after that first WOD, but I was pumped and excited to come back for more. I must say I was extremely sore those first several days, but I knew it was because I hadnt worked out in a very long time. Six months later, my fitness level has grown immensely and I couldnt be happier. However, Im not sure if its my desire to see how strong I can become that keeps me coming back every day at 5:30am, or if its the people. The coaches and other members of this gym are just amazing. The positivity and camaraderie are awesome! Theres always someone motivating me to be better, and to keep my head in the game when Im ready to give up during a workout. Mission CrossFit is a family and Im so glad that Im apart of it.

I have always worked out, whether it be at a gym or boot camp, or whatever I could door outdoors to be active and try to stay fit. I had heard about CrossFit, but never really checked it out because I thought it was too expensive. Several months ago, I was chosen to share my cancer survivor story in a national calendar featuring other young survivors (under age 50). I was looking to lose a few pounds and get more toned for the photo shoot, so I decided to give Mission CrossFit a try for at least three months. Nine months later, almost 10 pounds lighter, I’m hooked! I’m much stronger than when I started, and I’m noticing all my other outdoor activities have gotten easier. I can run longer, and I can mountain bike up hills I had to walk up before. CROSSFIT WORKS!! It really is a great place to workout, and the people are AMAZING! The trainers are all very knowledgeable and they push you to help you get the results you desire. The members are great and really do make you feel welcome. I’m one of the 5:30am crazy people, and most of the time, it’s the people that keep me going at that hour. I love the camaraderie with the group, and we accomplish so much before the day has started. Mission CrossFit has given me a new motivation to keep working out and getting stronger…I no longer dread going to the gym, but look forward to what’s we’ll be doing in the next day’s WOD!

I was putting in 3-4 hours a week at 24 HR with no results to show for it. My New Years resolution was to change my path before it was too late. My daughter Lori and her husband Chris are CrossFiters in Carlsbad and I could see the results firsthand. So I found Mission CF after a bit of searching and signed up. I can honestly say this was a life changing experience! From the start Justin and his team of trainers made me feel like family - while pushing me to be better every day. Jeff and Pat encouraged me to work on my mobility (flexibility) and diet. Let me be honest... I was 63, a bit too heavy, and taking meds for high cholesterol. Not a good combination. 11 months later and proud to say I have dropped nearly 25 pounds, reduced my cholesterol w/o drugs (!), and can now do more than any other 64 yr old I know (except my WOD buddy Chuck). Best of all I have a renewed self-awareness. I may not be the fastest or the strongest but I now know that my personal mantra, "Keep Going," will help me to face down a very challenging workout and press through to the end. I encourage you to come join the Mission CrossFit family and change your life like I did.

I have been through many "Gym" experiences in my life, not one compares to the level I have experienced at Mission CrossFit. The professionalism of all coaches, attention to detail, organization, cleanliness and personal attention to all members ... to mention a few ... set Mission CrossFit well above all others. This "Box" is also special because of the pride they display in the military, everyday I walk in and see Old Glory and the flags of all 5 military branches hung with pride giving me that extra boost. The welcoming attitude from the owner Justin to the entire coaching staff of Jeff, Pat and Darian transcends to all the members. No matter the day or time, everyone is there working towards a goal, while helping and motivating other along the way. I am happy to say I have found a family at Mission CrossFit, one I hope to be a part of for years to come. Thank you Mission CrossFit!!!!!

What a great box!! We (my husband and I) were in town for one week visiting family and were so lucky we could work out here. The coaches were personable and attentive, the programming was excellent (especially liked the tiered levels for the WOD) and we especially appreciated that they let us drop-in from out-of-town without having to pay a daily rate. So nice and appreciates that we already pay monthly for our local box. I wish there were more boxes that took this approach for out-of-towners. Overall--a great experience. My husband and I left town a little sad that it would be awhile until we came back to Mission Crossfit.

I really enjoy working out at Mission CrossFit and am fitter and healthier because of my workouts -- but the very best thing about the place is the people. By the end of your first week, you will have met all kinds of folks, of all age groups, from all walks of life, and you will be surprised by how many people know your name and greet you as you walk in the doors. Every work out is filled with positive encouragement from the coaches and from the other class members.

Dropped in for a week and have nothing but positive things to say about this box. All the coaches were extremely friendly and encouraging. The owner Justin is also a great guy. Highly recommend this box to anyone in the area.

Great trainers and friendly atmosphere. I was staying in a hotel close to this box and dropped in for a day. Then, i decided to visit them everyday during my vacation because of fabulous facility and friendly atmosphere.
