Performance360

I’ve been going for over a year. I started at this gym knowing nothing about lifting or even fitness and have progressed because of P-360’s culture of caring. The owners and coaches actually give a s#!t that I learn the movements first, and only then add weight. The coaches help you meet whatever goals you set for yourself. The programming has a purpose every day and the coaches communicate that purpose to us! I’m still probably the weakest person at the gym, but I get stronger every day. I’m encouraged every day and I actually look forward to 6am! (There are classes throughout the the day and evening, but 6am works best for me.) Never been intimidated by the other members because not only is the staff fantastic, the community is also supportive/​encouraging! People are here to improve themselves not to show you up. There’s a bunch of social opportunities too, if that’s your thing. It is cross training but NOT «no pain, no gain.» I’m super happy I found P-​360. You’ll be happy too!

This gym is incredible. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!
I started at the gym in October 2014 I was 5’10″ and 167 pounds. I had just quit smoking cigarettes in August 2014 (was a smoker for 6 years) and was trying to change my bad habits into good ones. At first, the gym was a little intimidating because I hadn’t been to any gym in over a year. The coaches were friendly and gave me the one on one encouragement I needed along with help with all the movements. I started talking to more people in class and started to recognize some of the friendly faces each time I came. I had never done a clean, jerk, squat, or snatch. In fact, I hadn’t done about 90% of the movements that P360 incorporated into the workouts. Now I can do them all and am stronger than I’ve ever been.
(Don’t be intimidated, when I started I wasn’t even putting weight on the barbell). Which is one of the other things I love about this gym. They want you to learn how to do the movements properly before you start trying to put a bunch of weight on the bar. These coaches & members genuinely care about your well-​being and don’t want you getting yourself injured.
Beginning of 2015 I did the P360 weight loss challenge (shred plan), and followed the nutrition plan to the tee. It was the FIRST time in my life I had ever dieted and documented everything I ate. Thanks to the guidance from the P360 coaches my results were incredible. Over 2015 I met more and more great people through P360 and they have not only become my good friends, but they have become my accountability, my competitors, and my motivation to never stop improving. I’ve put more hours in the gym, more weight on the bar, and had more laughs training with so many great people in the past year than I ever have… and I am so grateful for that.
Try one class and you will be hooked. I was.

Amazing community, awesome gym, best coaches/​trainers and owners are just really good people. Best workout. The coaches really take the time to help you train and meet your goals. They teach you and push you. I have been an athlete my entire life… they prove to you that you can do more and work harder to meet and exceed your own personal goals. There is no quick fix but the amazing group of individuals that own, coach, train or work out here will make you a better you.

I LOVE P-​360! If you are looking for a new place to workout, I highly recommend you check this place out! Before P-​360 I could never stick to any workout routine, I probably tried everything there was to try and lifting a finger just wasn’t my thing ;p I’m more on the prissy girly side as well so the thought of me lifting heavy ass shit was laughable. In fact when I first started I remember posting a status about going from 85# to 95# on my deadlift … I am currently able to lift 225#!!! TWO HUNDRED AND TWENTY FIVE POUNDS!!! Did I mention I’m 5’2″ and weigh approx. 110lbs? Sorry if it sounds like I’m bragging but my point is that I myself am so bewildered by how far I was able to come– 100% thanks to the training and coaching at the gym. If it wasn’t for the coaches and other members at the gym pushing me beyond my limits I would never in a million years even try. I also would not consider myself a morning person at all but due to my work schedule I found it easiest to work out at 6am before work. I was able to wake up every morning and get my butt in that gym because I was genuinely excited to see my 6am friends and lift heavy things, oh and not to mention the sunrise view did not suck. Unfortunately I had to leave the gym recently because I moved out of the area and since leaving I have had no motivation to get out of bed at the crack of dawn and I miss the gym ohhhh so much!!! So again proof that the gym did wonders for me and without them I will grow ginormously plump :-x
Also never once did I feel intimidated at the gym, which I know is a scary thing going in to a new place. I would consider myself on the weaker side of the talent at the gym and usually when I’m not the best I get discouraged and run away but not here. I can’t really explain why lol but I never felt like that. Probably because of how welcoming and friendly everyone is. I learned to not compare myself to others and just try to better myself from where I was the day before (see people– you get life skills here too!!)
Anyways long story short, the community is great, other members will fuel your drive to push yourself, the coaches are phenomenal, so very talented, wise and helpful and you, you will become more by making this your gym home :) Enjoy because I am so jealous!

I love this gym! I’ve never really been the type to get excited about working out but now I go to the gym 5 days a week and I look forward to it everyday and miss it on rest days. haha! I love how everyday is a different workout and that’s huge for me and keeps me motivated. All the coaches are awesome and help you reach your goals!

Just go to the first trial class if you’re even thinking about joining. This place is awesome.
I found these guys on Unilocal!myself and wanted to make sure I spread the good word. No matter where you are in your fitness journey (there are literally ALL shapes and sizes here) you will fit in at this gym so long as you have the will to be stronger than you were yesterday.
Everyone I’ve met has been knowledgeable and supportive. The workouts are boot-​camp style but even more interesting than that because you’re doing multiple kinds of movements throughout each class and each class is setup differently so it’s literally impossible to get bored. Bring yourself with a positive attitude and some determination and they will do the rest. I’m super optimistic about what I’m going to be able to achieve at this gym.

Love everything about this place.
1. The workouts that don’t allow you to ever get in a rut. In my pre 360 days, I would do the same crap over and over. This place switches the format and the exercises to not allow you to plateau.
2. The meal plan help
3. The community and coaches that always are there to help and correct you.
My wife and I are terrified that if we move, we won’t be able to find a place like this.

I just joined this gym and am loving it! You feel like you have a personal trainer but in a supportive group atmosphere !

I am not quite sure why it has taken me over 2 months to write this review — but heck, better late than never.
This gym rocks. The end.
Just kidding… about the end part, not about the gym part — it really does rock. I joined because of word of mouth, and I needed to try something different — something completely outside my norm. It took about 8 months to join. Why? Because every time I had thought about it, I would look at the website, and assume that it was too advanced for me, or in my head I was just too intimidated. Boy was I wrong. Wicked wrong. Two and a half months in, I am still learning technique, terms, how much weight I can lift, what and how to do things — but the members and coaches couldn’t be any more helpful, sincere, and approachable. True story.
Obviously since I rated this place 5 stars, I like it. If that’s all the info you need. You can stop reading here.
All the other words in this review; the story telling — is to appeal to those who are on the fence about trying a class, or about joining. Give it a shot. It’s challenging yet fun. The work you put in yield the results you see and feel. It’s been over two months, and while I am sure I am getting stronger physically, my biggest take away by far is the mental strength. Knowing I can try and accomplish new things, and in a space where I am supported by those who are striving for the same. Results take time, and everyone has to start somewhere. And damn, there are some reaaaaallly strong ladies and gents in there, let me tell you — and by no means is it at all intimidating — just extremely motivating! You can read more about the format and classes in other reviews listed on this site, but your take away should be: Try it. I am glad I did.
The end.

I love this place. It’s really helped me get into better shape. The staff is amazing and is always there helping you out. Try out one of their free classes and you’ll experience it yourself. So much motivation. Oh and if you’re worried you’ll be one of the weaker people there at first, don’t worry about it. I was. Everyone there, including the members are their to keep you motivated.

I was looking for an alternative version of the high intensity workouts and I found it with Performance 360. Really great crew of trainers. Friendly clientele. Great programming. By far the best locations of any gym or workout facility you will ever find. I know that’s sort of an odd amenity to be looking for, but there aren’t many structured gyms where you can get a great workout and view. When you’re between sprints and lifts, and… «oh look at that, I’m on the Bay in beautiful San Diego…» for some reason, it just makes it a little easier, to push it a little harder.

Far more than just a «gym», this is a community of people helping each other to achieve their goals. They offer a variety of Strength and Fat Burning styled classes throughout the week, and if Olympic Lifting isn’t your thing, you can utilize:
Kettlebell-​Only Classes
Yoga
Outdoor (Bootcamp style cardio)
Endurance Training
Open Gyms
The trainers are friendly, professional, and knowledgeable, and always available to help demo a movement, or assist in correcting your form.
Run faster, jump higher, lift more, lose weight, gain weight… whatever it is that you want to do, if you’re serious about setting and achieving your goals, this is the place to do it.

I have to say that the owner of this company was awesome to work with, I had just signed up and was injured before I could even start. When I called and explained what happened he offered refund or put my account on hold until I felt that I was ready to go which I thought was awesome.
Finally all healed up and showed up for my first session then I realized I have no clue who to talk to or what to do, most crossfit type gyms have a first 5 class to get you in the swing of things but not here. So after the trainer covers the days work out, I go to talk with him and he seemed less than thrilled to talk with me and you swear I asked him the square root of something because I got the long distance «huh» stare. So I filled out the waiver form and left…
The gym is really nice, clean, lots of equipment in good shape, and I like how there are variations on the workouts based on your goals, but getting into the routine its sink or swim. The crowd is definitely the PB twenty something club, and being in the thirty something family man makes the overall gym vibe more awkward than fun and motivating. Between the less than stellar interaction with one of their top trainers, and the overall crowd vibe I just decided to just eat the money and not come back.
I normally don’t post too many reviews, but felt that my different perspective may save someone in the same boat some time and money.

I love this place! It’s only been a month but I’m hooked! I’ve gone to both locations in mission beach and crown point and the trainers and other members are so helpful and encouraging! I hadn’t worked out in months and I have no upper body strength so I had to modify some of the workouts at first but no one looked down on me for it. (You gotta start somewhere). I might always be the last one done but it never feels like that, I’m so happy I found something I enjoy to go to and have already made progress in my performance! Shout out to trainer Robby Sparango who’s really encouraging and great at explaining technique!

CHALLENGING! That’s what I was craving in my workouts, and thats exactly what you get at P360!
I worked with a personal trainer for a while while I was in school, unfortunately after he had moved, I found myself to intimidated to venture into the weight room by myself at SDSU. So I settled for some yoga and barre, but 5 pound dumbbells just weren’t cutting it. I missed feeling strong and sore and accomplished after a workout.
I first tried P360 last October, during one of their 30 day challenges, but our relationship was short lived, as I started a new job and was traveling endlessly/​working crazy hours. Not to mention dealing with some nagging overuse injuries. I decided to give it another whirl this July, as they opened their new location in Crown Point. While I still may not be able to make it as many day per week as I would like in an ideal world, I am glad I stuck it out this time, because even on weeks that I can only make it 2 – 3 times, I’ve noticed a huge difference in the way I feel.
I won’t lie, I was intimidated when I first came to P360, pretty sure a little part of me always will be. But, you have to step out of your comfort zone to make things happen. In every class that I have been too their is always a range from novice to experienced members. It’s never a competition (unless its with yourself), everyone is pushing themselves to their personal max. I am quiet, just my personality, so I tend to keep my head down and get my work done, so to speak. Even though you may be in class with 25 people you don’t know, it feels like your working out with 25 friends.
Saving the best for last… the trainers here are TOP NOTCH. Seriously, amazing. Always circulating around class and correcting form, giving pointers, and offering encouragement. They are also extremely knowledgable, personable and approachable and funny. All coming from different fitness backgrounds, they all bring a unique view to the coaching here.

This review is long overdue. Simply put, this place rules. Seriously, if you want the CliffNotes version of this review, here it is: Performance360 rules and you should probably (errr, definitely) try out a class.
If you are looking for a gym that is staffed with experienced, supportive, and knowledgeable coaches (and really friendly members), do yourself a favor: stop reading this review and sign up for your free trial class.
Prior to joining the P360 community (and that’s what it is… a community) I had never worked with weights/​kettlebells/​etc. I was bored with my workout routine and wanted to try something new. I wanted to feel challenged. I did some research on local gyms and stumbled across Performance360 (via Unilocal,what upppp!) and thought, «Well, if a gym can have THAT many 5* reviews, I should probably give it a shot.»
I know, you’re going to go to their site, check out their videos, and either be stoked you found your new favorite gym OR you’re going to be like me and think, «Whoa, I can’t do THAT!» Yes, you can. Whether you are someone who is new to fitness or someone who works out religiously, you will always have the option to modify movements to your level of fitness while being challenged.
I am so thankful to have found this place. I have made some of my closest friends through this gym (I’m a transplant from the east coast… so unique, right?) and actually look forward to working out. Dave and Pritz have managed to create a really special place: unintimidating, motivating, challenging, friendly, etc. What are you waiting for? Join the fun.

The BEST gym I have experienced in a long time. Trust you’ll never be bored at P360. Whether your goals are to get strong, toned and/​or fit, you have an option. The classes are challenging, but each member is able to tailor their workout based on their own level of fitness. The coaches actually care about their members and know their stuff. I LOVE THIS PLACE!!!

I absolutely love this gym! I have always been an athlete and have been in pretty good shape but I have never been pushed like I am here! I like that they incorporate Olympic lifting with plyometrics and cardio. I was scared at first to start the Olympic lifting but the coaching staff here is amazing! They teach you something new every day about technique and are always perfecting your form. The second you walk into the gym, you feel a sense of community and everyone is welcoming. The trainers learn your names pretty quickly and give everyone the individual attention that they need. Oh and did I mention that you have a beautiful view of the bay?! All in all, I highly recommend this gym for anyone from beginners to advanced gym go-​ers :D

Have to say this place is Amaze Balls!!!
Haven’t had so much fun at a gym. The instructors are very knowledgeable and pay close attention to your form. I love the early morning class. I drive all the way from downtown which I thought would be a pain. But it’s so worth it.
Robby and Ashley are the AM instructors that are incredible. Tx

Unintimidating, results driven and ridiculously helpful. These guys make me better. I really don’t think you’ll find a more worthwhile option in the Mission/​Pacific Beach area if you’re looking for a results, not looking to break the bank and would rather work out in a friendly, welcoming environment than a basement gym without windows. By the last minutes of every class, I’m hating life and as soon as I get in my car, I’m stoked on a workout completed that I wouldn’t have done on my own.
I average about 3.5 time a week there (some do more, some people do less and it’s mainly because of work/​other athletic endeavors), but I’m seeing great results. I’m faster, I can play sports longer, paddle better in the surf and fit into my clothes better. I only wish I upped from 1−2x a week sooner, but I still saw results even with that meager commitment. I have no idea what my weight is right now and I haven’t looked at a scale in almost a year because I don’t feel the need. I’m building muscle and losing fat… and my pants still fit.
I’ve always been active, but not really a gym guy. I snowboard regularly, skate pools, play volleyball, etc., but when it comes to working out and for lack of a better word, training, I’m horribly lacking. I had no idea how to do most of the exercises they were doing, but every day they give a quick refresher so you don’t feel like an idiot if you’ve never done a Hell Trot or simply forgot what one was.
The P360 crew motivates me, without being negative or harsh, to perform and push myself each week. They’re professionals, but realistic and aren’t going to give you the stink-​eye if they see you eating a hamburger or downing a pitcher of beer on Saturday (trust me, because they do it too). They actually have a fitness book and blog that can guide you if you need help adjusting your diet too.
I tend to gravitate towards the outdoor classes mainly because I like being outdoors after sitting at my desk all day. They’re similar to the indoor ones, which tend to have some different elements that you can’t have outdoors (pull up bars and rings being a big one). The gym is owner-​operated, so talk to the guys when you’re signing up to figure out what’ll help you meet your goals.
Workouts include everything from body weight exercises to box/​hurdle jumps and kettle bell /​medicine ball /​free-​weight activities. If you’re hurt from sports or have an issue, they’ll adjust your program for you if you let them know.
They have a cool little community built around this gym. People are friendly, but there to get down to business. They show up, go through the routine planned out in advance (and listed on their site if you want to check it out each day) and then chat for a bit before leaving. There are the occasional social/​group activities that are pretty rad too.
Honestly, it’s a great workout packed into 30 – 45 minutes, longer if you opt to double-​session. I always feel pushed while I’m there and great when I get home. Go to their Website and check out their trial offer or buy it here on Unilocal.They WON’T try to up-​sell you or force you to commit, so there’s really nothing to lose but flab.
