Fitness4ward has helped me so much and I haven’t been there a full year yet. I’ve been to the big, large corporate gyms and they haven’t come close to what Fitness4ward has done for me in that short amount of time.
I’ve had type 2 diabetes since 2010 and been on insulin since 2014. Within the last 7 months because of the exercise and the coaching between Keith and Jon, I’m no longer in insulin injections! That’s huge because not only do I feel better it’s less money out of my pocket buying insulin every so many months.
This is the first time I’ve really put myself first and with their help and the apps they use it’s been the most I’m in tune with my own goals and body. If anyone is doubt it or second guessing….don’t waste time! Get in there and I’ll see you soon!
Thank you Fitness4ward...more

I’m so glad I decided to join this gym a few years ago. First and foremost, Jon and Keith are exceptional coaches. They don’t just focus on helping you work out, they genuinely care about your overall health and well-being, which is something I haven’t experienced at many gyms. Before joining, I had only ever done cardio, so strength training was brand new to me. I was a little intimidated at first about the idea of strength training , but from day one, they made the whole process feel approachable. They don’t just tell you what to do, they explain the science behind the exercises, why you’re doing them, and help you progress at your own pace. Their goal isn’t to compare you to anyone else, but simply to help you become a stronger version of yourself. After training here for several years, I’m not only physically stronger, but I actually understand what I’m doing in the gym. I’ve learned proper form, when it’s okay to push myself, and when it’s smarter to hold back instead of ego lifting. One thing I really appreciate about Jon is that he wants people to become independent. He teaches you how to work out correctly so that if you’re traveling or can’t make it to the gym, you still have the knowledge and confidence to continue exercising safely on your own. That mindset says a lot about how much he genuinely wants his members to succeed. The community here is another reason I love this gym. Everyone is friendly, welcoming, and supportive, making it a place you actually look forward to coming back to. Something else that really stands out is that they never make you feel like they’re trying to sell you something. During a difficult period in my life, Jon was incredibly understanding. He encouraged me to take the time I needed instead of making me feel guilty for missing workouts. When I was dealing with a shoulder issue, he modified my workouts, had me skip certain exercises, and made sure I used lighter weights so I could recover safely without pushing myself too hard.That level of care is something I truly appreciate, and it’s a big reason I’ve stayed here for so many years. And of course, I have to give a shout-out to Adri, she’s an absolute sweetheart!
I genuinely love everything about this gym and couldn’t recommend it more....more

The workouts are challenging but fun, the community is positive and motivating, and I’ve seen real progress in my strength and energy since joining. If you’re serious about getting in shape and want a place that keeps you accountable, this is it....more

Initially joining Fitness 4ward for just a trial month, I have been here for almost a year now! The incredible coaches, Jon and Keith, have been instrumental in my progress, always ensuring proper form and technique – something I truly appreciate.
I'll admit, I was a bit skeptical at first when I didn't receive a standard diet chart and was simply guided on tracking my calories. However, this approach has surprisingly been one of the most valuable aspects of my experience. I've gained a much deeper understanding of nutrition and how to build sustainable, healthy meals that have allowed me to effectively manage my weight and fitness.
Beyond the excellent coaching, the community here is truly exceptional. The people here are incredibly motivating, and it's fantastic to be surrounded by individuals who share similar fitness goals. This supportive environment makes all the difference in staying consistent and pushing myself further. If you're looking for a gym with knowledgeable coaches and a fantastic community, I highly recommend checking out Fitness 4ward!...more

When I firsted started Fitness4ward in 2017, I had come with the short-term goal of getting into shape for my wedding. I had never strength trained before in my life and felt intimidated by the equipment and anxious I would not know what to do. However, Coach Jon and the other members welcomed me with open arms. I was able to learn the moves and increase strength pretty quickly with proper coaching. Jon and Adri use a scientific approach to building muscle and burning fat to develop intentional and structured workout plans. This will promise you continuous results, so long as you show up everyday and put in the work. My short-term goal turned into a lifestyle. I can honestly say that all areas of my life have improved and contnue to thanks to this gym.
Fitness4ward offers the opportunity to not only get stronger, shed excess weight, and help you look and feel your best, but, it offers such an enriching environment full of supportive and encouraging people. You will make friends. You will laugh. You will cheer. You will acheive new goals time and time again. You will impress yourself by what your body can do. You will leave everyday a better version of yourself....more

This gym is great! You really get fit within a short time as long as you're doing your part and keeping up with the workouts and nutrition. John and Keith are awesome trainers. You start to feel like you're part of a family. I always got positive feedback and that goes a long way for me. No need to put in a reservation for a class. No penalties for missing a class, no issues with canceling a membership, no card up front for a free trial. No pressure to join or upsell a membership. No down payment or extras to pay. If not for my schedule I'd still be there! Check this gym out! It'll be the best decision you've made in your life!!...more

This morning I got up and walked past the bathroom mirror and thought "I look good". That's not ego talking but a recognition that in my 60's now I am happy with myself, my appearance and my health. I owe that to being a member here for the last decade. This place and its programs are about solid science based exercise that help you to become a healthier person all around. This is a structured class approach that varies throughout the year to help you achieve your own goals and your own best results. There is no competition for equipment or space, we are mutually supportive of each other and enjoy being in class together. There is no body shaming or ability shaming, everyone encourages each other to succeed regardless of your age, body type, ability or where you are on your fitness journey. Gyms like this can be intimidating to newcomers but I believe if you give it a try for at least four months you will love it here and you will feel like family. I love seeing the happiness in new members when they come in one day and are struck by the realization of all they have achieved....more

I joined fitness4ward in November 2022. I remember being on thanksgiving break and thinking to myself how I wanted to join a gym. I found fitness4ward on instagram and gave them a follow. I got a message to come check out the gym. I thought it was really cool how personal it felt and I was feeling excited to try it out. The first day I walked in I had a one on one with John. He wanted to get to know me and my goals. From the start I could tell how great of a coach he would be. Fitness4ward has been a part of my life since day 1. I never thought I could get as strong as I am now. I have found a love for working out. And on top of it all I have found the most encouraging community and lifelong friendships. I highly recommend this gym and am so grateful on the positive lasting impact it has had on my life....more

From May 2023 until now, February 2024, I lost about 20lbs in total. What I like about Fitness4ward is the coaching process. Having injured my knee in 2021 before I came to Fitness4ward, I was afraid to workout on my own and hurt myself more. I like the group sessions where we get acquainted and workout along side one another. We also engage into activities such as hiking and outside gym social activities like going to the beach. Moreover, I like that I was able to loose 20 lbs in total within a year at Fitness4ward, I look more toned with muscle definition and I am looking forward to loosing more body fat and gaining more muscle and strength. I RECOMMEND THIS GYM....more

I've had an incredible experience at fitness4ward, and I'm thrilled to share my thoughts. The training program is top-notch, effectively combining strength and conditioning.
Whether you're a beginner or an experienced athlete, the program is designed to challenge and empower you to reach your fitness goals.
I still remember my first day at the gym 4 years ago. As someone who was new to weight training, I was too shy and intimidated to lift weights. I got all the push and encouragement I needed from the coaches. After my first week at the gym, I never doubted myself again.
The fellow group members and coaches create a positive atmosphere that motivates and encourages everyone to push their limits and achieve their best.
What sets fitness4ward apart is it's strong sense of community. The trainers and fellow members are not just friendly but also incredibly helpful, fostering a positive environment. Everyone celebrates each other's successes, offers support during challenges, and fosters a sense of belonging that keeps you coming back for more. Kudos to Jon for building such community.
Personally, I've built significant strength and successfully lost weight, hit PRs, have better understanding of nutrition and know how to balance my macros to nourish my body and mind, thanks to the expertise and encouragement of the coaches. It's more than a gym, it's a place that transforms both your body and mindset.
Highly recommend!...more

There are many gyms in the area that focus on so many different themes of work outs which can be very challenging to finding what is right for you.Fitness4ward provided an initial 4 day free work out training with no membership, a great selling point to someone who is unsure if this will be fit for them. This gym provides rigorous strength training classes that include cardio, evolving weekly classes, education on the exercise, proper way of weightlifting, nutrition and it also has a community of like minded people that support each other.
The ownership takes pride in their business in bringing in value, changing up the classes, being involved, and getting feedback from customers on how to improve the classes. This has the formula of success and it should be replicated to potentially expand another gym in the future, which I believe should happen. Many other gyms just go through the motions that don't provide details on the work outs which is lacking in education. Aside from their standard work outs they bring in extra value of other seminars such as mobility training, proper deadlift, bench press, nutrition and more. This should be your “gym”....more

I can’t recommend this place enough! I’ve done years of Pilates and spin classes but I always found myself wanting more. I’d been wanting to give weight training a try, but I didn’t know where to start and I knew I’d be lost doing it on my own at a commercial gym. I found Fitness 4ward and I’m so glad I gave it a chance. Jon and his staff of coaches are phenomenal. Every session is planned out and part of an overall training program. They accept members at every level of fitness and experience, and there is a heavy emphasis on form and technique. You don’t have to worry about getting injured here. With consistency and dedication the results come fast and you’ll find yourself quickly gaining that confidence we all strive for in the gym. Jon’s wealth of knowledge doesn’t stop at weight training though! He can coach you through your nutrition and will do check ins with you on your measurements and goals. I initially joined the gym hoping to lose weight, and for the first time in my years of effort I am seeing results. It’s been so encouraging that I’ve even changed my goals with time and have been working towards building more muscle. (My last set of measurements revealed a smaller waist and larger booty) In addition to the training this gym has an incredible community. I’ve made so many friends here and there isn’t a better feeling in the world than being cheered on by your peers while you hit a new PR. We do community hikes and happy hours so there is a lot of opportunity for socializing if that’s something you’re interested in. Again, I cannot say enough good things about this place, please just give it a try ☺️...more

I have been struggling to lose weight for a few years.
I’ve worked with several trainers, both in person and online, and had only ever achieved minuscule success until I began training at Fitness4ward and working with Coach Jon and the rest of the Fitness4ward team.
It’s been 6 weeks, and I am down nearly 10 pounds, and 2.5% body fat.
I am having more fun training than I’ve had in years, and the way that Coach Jon sets up your body composition and nutrition tracking makes it enjoyable and simple to adhere to. He also does an excellent job keeping you accountable. You can tell he is as invested in your goals as you are.
The group workouts are a blast, and combine various kinds of compound and isolation work. The trainers running the classes are knowledgeable and friendly. People of every fitness level can take the same class and challenge themselves accordingly. All of the members I have met at all stages of their fitness journey are kind and encouraging.
Also, this is not just a weight loss gym. Another aspect of joining that I enjoy is that my husband, who is focused on gaining weight and muscle, and I get to take class together!
Coach Jon is equally as knowledgeable assisting him with his goals, and he’s seen a ton of progress as well.
I am so grateful that I found this place and highly recommend giving them a try!...more

I have exercised for most of my life. I was a runner in my 20s-40s but had to give that up when I wore my hip joints down so badly that both hips had to be replaced. For awhile, I tried exercising in other ways - swimming, pilates, peloton - but none of it felt the way I used to feel when I was running. I decided to try Fitness4ward in June 2023 because a friend of mine persuaded me to. For the first time since giving up running, I started getting that euphoric post-exercise feeling again. My muscles have gotten stronger and I have been feeling great!
I get my blood tested by a naturopath every 6 months. My bloodwork has never given me any reason to be concerned. I had my blood tested in August 2023 and the results were the same as they had been for years. I just had my blood retested in March 2024, and almost every single marker is improved! I am not doing anything differently other than going to Fitness4ward. I am eating the same things. I had no idea that exercising in this way would be affecting my bloodwork, but it makes sense! Love it and cannot recommend Fitness4ward enough for all health issues!!...more

I have been coming here for 12 years now after serving 20 years in the military, belonging to several gyms and using several trainers, this is hands down the best fitness experience and best overall program for personal health. I look forward to coming every day mainly because of the other people. Every session is structured so you are doing the same exercises as others and it makes for a great social as well as fitness environment. Every one encourages every one else. The program does not use one method but rather formats change throughout the year so that you truly exercise your entire body over time. My 24 year old son joined me here and the program fit both our needs. I am in my best shape in years as I enter my 60’s. I can’t say enough positive comments. Come by, try it for a month or two and you will agree....more

Fitness4ward is a community of people who genuinely want to improve on themselves and are encouraging of everyone else’s journey there. I went in not knowing much about strength training so, naturally I was a little shy at first but it really just took two weeks of going everyday for me to get comfortable in that space and then I couldn’t stop going. It was the part of my day that I looked forward to because it made me feel great physically and mentally. Also, all I had to do was show up. The workouts were always different. Each day focused on different body parts and each week focused on a different method. Whether it was maxing out on your weights, focusing on form, etc. You never hit a plateau. Jon and Josh are amazing coaches. They both pay attention to each person’s strengths and weaknesses and are able to push them based off that. They also know when you are slacking so don’t think you’ll be able to get away with that. You’ll thank them later tho :) They’re also very understanding. Life sometimes happens and when it does get tough, they’re there to encourage you to get back up and keep going. My experience there was seriously the best. Unfortunately, I moved so I stopped going but I miss it and now have a hard time finding a gym as good as Fitness4ward....more

After years of struggling to commit to exercise, Fitness4ward delivered exactly what I was missing: a daily structure and technical know-how, both of which are backed up by a community (or should I say, family!) of like-minded individuals who are an excellent source of motivation, accountability, and companionship. I am amazed how the group training sessions always feel fresh and fun, yet they remain carefully constructed to target different muscle groups. Jon and Josh know their stuff, and they go out of their way to make sure that exercises are performed correctly. This is important not only to maximize strength gains, but to prevent injury.
From my time working out here, I've transformed my body significantly by both losing fat and gaining muscle. It's a process I am excited to continue each day!

The entire room was open to newcomers and very motivated. The entire staff is friendly, professional, and knowledgeable and adjusted to what I was comfortable with but pushed my limits. Highly recommend this gym if you're looking for an awesome workout....more

This has been the BEST decision Ive made for myself since moving back to San Diego this summer. I work at a desk for 12 hours straight, which leaves me tired and stressed at the end of the day. But when I started getting up early to go to the 6am class at Fitness4ward, I’ve experienced an improvement in my energy, mental health, and physical health. No matter how tired i am, the feeling i get after finishing a class here is the BEST feeling of the day for me.
The instructors Jon and Josh push you hard, they keep class fun and challenging, and they help you understand proper form. They’re a huge reason why I love coming to this gym.
I love the combination of strength training and conditioning we do. I also love the variety of workouts we do. Class is never boring!...more

So glad I found Fitness4ward, a hidden gem in the San Diego gym scene. The trainers Jon and Josh are actually care about their members and hold us accountable not just to show up but also give 100%
I think the diversity of their clientele speaks volumes because they have a wide range of ages and fitness levels and offer accomodations according to where you are at. The community they've created is really awesome, they are friendly and welcoming to all. Definitely recommend if you are looking for a great workout and cool people to workout with....more

Love this place! Have been to other similar gyms/boot camps/cross fits and Fitness4ward hands down is the best place to become healthy, strong, and fit. Jon takes a personalized approach with his clients. He does quarterly reviews which truly gauges your success. He goes over your nutrition and sets personalized goals. I would highly recommend Fitness4ward to anyone looking to get fit the right way!...more

I was invited to try out Fitness4ward 4 years ago by a former roommate and very good friend after we did a mud run and i noticed she wasn’t tired. I thought i was in decent shape... and i was terribly mistaken. Jon, our trainer continually challenges us with different workouts, techniques and styles of training that are always high intensity while focusing on technique and form over improper movement and weight. With proper form and nutrition my body changed completely and i am now able to do things i never thought my body was capable of (hand stand pushups and pull/chin-ups). When i travel i have confidence in any activity (hiked the tallest mountain in Scandinavia recently on a whim) and i now have new goals and new aspirations ahead of me. The community of the gym is always friendly, driven, focused and sometimes silly but we all push ourselves to be the best version of ourselves we can be. I couldn’t ask for a better place to grow as a person and I look forward to what the future has in store. Hope to see you at 5am where the BEASTS are....more

i have been training with jon at fitness4ward for almost 4 years now and it has been an amazing experience. jon is professional and extremely educated in all fields related to fitness and nutrition. he is always willing to answer any questions i have regarding my training or progress. he is always at the workouts teaching, demonstrating, and correcting the exercises we do. he is constantly encouraging and pushing me to lift heavier, run faster, and train harder. everyone in this program is extremely friendly and willing to help. nobody hesitates to show you how an exercise is done or share tips on how to improve. with the help and support of jon, everyone i see is always pushing themselves to work out to the best of their abilities and even beyond. being around them inspires me to do better and work harder even when im not feeling it. i look forward to seeing what else i can accomplish with the help of jon and this fitfam!
if your goal is to lose body fat, gain muscle, work hard, and learn to train your body in a positive and fun environment,then this is the program for you!...more

If you’re reading this, then you are probably looking for a boot camp to join, or to change from what you’re currently doing. Congrats! You just found your new place, and this is the start of a new you. It doesn’t matter what your fitness level is, if you are here to get better, the coaches will push and challenge you to be that better person. This isn’t some cookie cutter boot camp either, where you’ll start seeing repetition in the workouts, and things become predictable. Trust me, you’ll never get bored as the workouts change and evolve. In the many years I’ve been coming to this gym, I don’t think I have ever repeated the same workout.
Since coming here, I’ve improved all aspects of my fitness. I can run faster and further, lift heavier than I thought was possible, and learned proper form. I’ve lost fat, gained muscle, and gained gym buddies!
Speaking of gym buddies, the people here want you to succeed. Fitness4Ward has an awesome community of folks that is there sweating with you every step of the way and challenging you to be the better you.
So, long story short – this is the place where you will become a better version of you. The coaches, community, and other tools are here, you just need to put in the hard work and sweat....more

Jon is an incredible fitness coach with more than a decade of experience in coaching individuals to achieve their fitness goals.
He only allows people in his gym who are committed to better themselves and work towards their goals seriously.
I have been going to this gym since Jun 2017 and still absolutely love it and 100% recommend to anyone who wants to change their lifestyle and achieve fitness goals.
Every workout session is unique and I have not seen a similar workout in last 2.5 years, which makes the workout interesting and challenging.
I love the energy, commitment, empathy, and support of the fellow gym members who will help and motivate you when you need the most.
I have been to multiple gyms but have never experienced this level of dedication mindset towards fitness and well being overall.
Jon has an amazing one of kind personality filled with humor, sarcasm, motivations that keep you going when you are sweating on your most difficult workout...more

Fitness4Ward gives you an environment which makes you embark on a wonderful fitness journey where you learn not only about yourself but your inner potential. There are days where in you feel like missing it but still end up going not miss the best one hour of the day where only thing that flows is your sweat and forgetting all other things in your personal and professional hardships. The folks over there keeps pushing to give 10% extra at the end of the hr even when you feel almost dead after fun workout. I learnt mainly on what and what not to eat along with how to eat.
Quick points why you need to be there: I can now do 7+ mile hike , I have continued on a gym for past 1.5 yrs wherein my avg was about 3 months only and lastly you feel what you have been missing by getting into shape. In simple words – If I can do So do you…
Be ready to invest in yourself. Choose wise , Choose Jon…....more

Fitness4ward is like my second home. I’ve been training there for a little over a year; I learned so much beginning with 5the proper techniques and ending with my own capabilities. Jon the owner/trainer has never let me take the easy road. I went from not being able to do 1 push up to doing several. Be prepared to be sore the next day but it’s a good sore. I’m proud to be one of the many “beasts” that training at this amazing gym. I’ve shared so many great memories and hope to have many more!...more

I first walked in the door knowing how "to train" because I've been an athlete my whole life. After my first week I realized I didn't know much at all. Jon, the owner and trainer is knowledgeable well beyond anyone I've ever trained with. I've been at Fitness4ward for just over a year and I am still learning new ways to lift, stretch, run, and train from him and all the coaches here. I continually feel motivated to come in and push myself everyday. This is a great gym to start and keep working out at for a long time....more

If you are ready to be pushed mentally and physically, and to make certifiable progress, look no further. Jon's classes are not for the faint of heart. If you aren't fully committed to making positive changes in your health, he will be the first to tell you to look elsewhere for a fitness regimen.
Jon is a living example of perfect health. His knowledge of all things nutrition and physical training is unsurpassed. He teaches with intensity and fervor... but he is just as committed to improving your mindset as much as your body.
The format of his boot camp style workouts changes from week to week so that you are constantly challenging and engaging your muscles in every aspect of strength and endurance. My constant state of soreness is a perpetual validation that he is constantly pushing my physical limitations. Jon is always evaluating and correcting his clients' form and technique and is always providing variations to upgrade the level of effort for maximal results. I dropped close to 15 pounds and 7% body fat in less than 3 months. Every day you look around and see your fellow boot campers shedding the weight, and it's a true testament to Jon's acute knowledge and direction.
You will not regret your decision to have Jon lead your fitness journey. Under his diligent instruction, I have made fast, incredible gains and am easily in the best shape of my life. I approach my nutrition with a better understanding, appreciation and attitude. He creates a stellar atmosphere and I absolutely love pushing myself in his workouts among other incredibly committed individuals. He celebrates your fitness achievements as if they were his own. I'm stronger, faster, leaner and exponentially happier and I owe it to Jon and his remarkable and humble guidance....more

Fitness4ward is quite simply amazing. Jon's knowledge of fitness, nutrition, and even mental health is phenomenal. He has created not just a "good workout" but an environment of positivity that is contagious. He is continually educating himself further by keeping up not with the latest fads, but with the latest science that's out there- and is always on the cutting edge. I highly recommend him for all walks of life, from a busy working mom looking to lose some inches, such as myself, or the younger 20-something professional looking to step up their game....more
