Save yourself the time of reading this review and just go to this gym right now. Seriously. The atmosphere is awesome. Great vibe, good mix of experienced and new members, very supportive, very quickly feels like youre surrounded by friends, this gym is like my second home. The coaches are awesome. Very supportive, very attentive to individual members needs, helpful when you need to modify or scale down a workout, encouraging when you need an extra push to get through. Also very knowledgeable, which has a lot to do with... The owner is awesome. Mark is incredibly smart & well educated in the sport. My first day WODing with him, he fixed my hip drive and instantly helped me hit a 10lb PR in my squat clean. Identifies flaws in your movements instantly and corrects them in a way that feels simple and manageable (not like other coaches who have left me feeling like I just never get their instructions). Puts a lot of work into training his staff to do the same. The programming is awesome. Very balanced, keeps you healthy and improving, and even lives well with outside sports if you do them. Ive been doing xfit for ~2.5 years, ~1 year since Marc took over my last gym, and in that year Ive beaten all of my barbell PRs and set a new PR in my half marathon. So yeah, just go.

The entire family of 858-owned CrossFit gyms is second-to-none. While Ive generally never had a bad experience at the different CF gyms Ive been to around the country (and even world), the thought that goes into the programming is evident. The coaching staff is always great, and the business is run, well, like a business. Now, before you think that this is a bad thing, having been to many gyms, I have seen how poorly managed gyms can deliver a poor product, but I have never felt that way. Equipment is constantly refreshed, floors are cleaned weekly, and facilities have been upgraded regularly. If youre an out-of-towner looking for a place to drop-in, or even if youre a first-timer or experienced CrossFitter looking for a new home, you cant go wrong at any of the 858 gyms!

I was in San Diego for a couple of months and decided to give crossfit a try. Of the wide variety of crossfit gyms I saw, I decided on 858 as the owner was very accommodating, the trainers enthusiastic and supportive to beginners and the clientele were all very welcoming also. The general atmosphere of the gym really suited me and I built a very solid crossfit foundation to take away with me. I would highly recommend this gym to people of all abilities as the coaches are so patient with beginners and very enoucraging. I really enjoyed my time there and will not hesitate to go back when Im in town again.

I have been super impressed with my experience at the Uptown box. The location, membership price and schedule of classes is awesome. We also get membership at two other locations (Miramar and Mission Gorge). Whats even more stellar is the level of coaching staff. I came with some funky habits from previous training. The coaches have helped me tweak my form and now Im seeing gains like I havent experienced before. I like that anyone from inexperienced Crossfitters to super elite athletes can work out together and theres no intimidation or gym drama.

I have had the opportunity to see this box transform from CrossFit Elysium to what it is today and let me tell you they have done an amazing job! I have to admit I was a bit concerned when the transition happened (late 2015) but Mark and the staff did a great job in being transparent and available to answer any and all questions. Now being a member at their Uptown location allows you to join their other boxes in the area. 3 for the price of one! If I werent moving to Portland for school I would definitely be staying.

CrossFit 858 Uptown is beyond awesome. I am relatively new to CrossFit and am extremely impressed with the incredible coaching staff and the community at 858 Uptown. I joined looking for a great workout and love the results and friends Ive made. The class schedules range various convenient times throughout the day from morning, to mid-day and night, which is more than I have seen at other places and is perfect for my shift work schedule.

Wonderful community of coaches and members! The programming is well thought out and the coaches do a great job of explaining everything. The workouts are accessible whether youre an elite athlete or a beginner. No matter what class time I make it to, the members are super friendly and encouraging. Definitely check this gym out if youre in the San Diego area!
