Oceanside Crossfit

Every time I drop in from out of town I always am made to feel welcome. I’m a Crossfit Gym Owner myself, and did my Level one with 3 of their instructors several years ago. I highly recommend their Friday evening competitors class for those interested in competing or taking things to the next level. I first came out to support their annual «memorial wod for Staff Sgt. «Schmalls». Always made this my local drop in box of choice when I come in to town to visit friends/​family.

Oceanside crossfit is awesome!
We truly enjoyed working out hard with these guys, unlike many other crossfit gyms they make sure that people know how to lift correctly to avoid injuries. Many crossfit gyms only emphasize speed after a quick walk through of the workout, and many people get hurt. For this reason I think Oceanside crossfit is great for beginners and veterans alike.
Super friendly and welcoming staff too!

My first experience with CrossFit and it won my heart. The community is great and every member is like family. So much more than working out together, it is fighting your best fight to live your best life. From couch potato to elite athlete… go meet Laura and she will get you moving to new heights! Thank you OCF!

Love this gym for its dedicated coaches that are always there to help and the positive and encouraging atmosphere they promote. They have a military and first responders discount and they are not as expensive and other crossfit gyms in the area… It takes a while to get used to the workout if you are not accustomed to it but if your not afraid to get dirty and work hard then you can’t go wrong…

Dropped in for a WOD while I was on vacation in the area. Great gym. Great people. I will definitely drop in again next time i am in town

I started at OCF the end of October 2011. I remember reading on one of the white boards «if you let it, this place will change you»… I was there for a reason. I was on a mission. I wanted to change my life for good.
I had pretty much struggled with my weight my entire life. I was never an athlete. Never. In 2009, at a young 22 years old, I had been diagnosed borderline diabetes and maxed out just shy of 300lbs. I knew then and there at that moment I needed to do something. I began seeing a personal trainer out of his home. Which was cool and cheap, a great start since I was very new to working out and lifting weights. I also dramatically had to change my diet. Time passed, lost a little weight. My trainer moved And then I joined a small gym since I was so anti-​gym. (I Hated 24hour and la fitness. I felt so intimidated.) I actually liked the gym I was going to. They had tons of classes and eventually became a 24 hr gym. I was approached about my «free» personal training session about 4 months after joining. At this time in my life, I was very serious about joining the navy. But I need to lose about 40ish lbs. So I actually did want to start seeing a personal tainer again. I told her my goal and what I needed to do as far as weight and physical test go and she was very much on board. I saw her twice a week and very time we started our session, I’d do a sit up test and push up test. Meanwhile, I was still struggling to get on the weight the navy wanted me to weigh for my height. I was practically starving myself and got down to 183, which I needed to be at 178. I was so close, but it got to the point where I wasn’t even living and enjoying life. My trainer also started slacking. Towards the end, I’d show up and she’d say «so, what do you want to do today?» needless to say, I stopped seeking her. BUT the one good thing that came from that trainer, is she is the one who introduced me to crossfit. Well, kind of. She asked if I had ever heard of it and told me I’d really like it. I’m still not sure if she was trying to get rid of me or not but boy was she right.
After I stopped seeing her in the spring of 2011, I did my first half marathon and then just stopped caring as much. I had put on approximately 40lb in less then a year. I got a puppy and suddenly had no time for the gym. I also lived at home again where my family didn’t really care about what they ate and we weren’t on the same page with health/​nutrition/​physical fitness. I decided to make a little bit of a move in October of 2011 to oceanside! Best decision of. My. Life.
More and more people had been talking about crossfit and I Figured I don’t have a gym membership anymore. Might as well give it a try. When I googled where the closest one was, Oceanside Crossfit came up 2 miles away. How could I not give it a go.
From day one, I was hooked. And it wasn’t long before I became obsessed. I stared out at 3 days a week and I found myself thinking how I could manipulate my work schedule to fit in more days at the box. Let’s just say I worked it out.
Not only do you get a killer workout every single time, but I’ve also made some really great friends along the way. Everyone genuinely cares about your well being and your progress and wants nothing but the best for you.
So with the encouragement form all the wonderful trainers and an easy switch to paleo, I’m back down to where I want to be. I’m not at my «thinnest» but my jeans and clothes fit better then they ever did before. Crossfit has definitely changed my life forever and I couldn’t imagine my life without it. I DRANK THE KOOL-​AID! :)

Crossfit is the best thing that you will ever do for yourself. Crossfit at Oceanside Crossfit doesn’t get much better. The community is beyond compare. The owner and coaches are top notch and care about you… not just their membership numbers. It will change your life.

I moved to town six months ago and needed a new CrossFit ASAP so I found Oceanside CrossFit. I was happy to learn that they have been open for six years so they had the experience and longtime membership that make a great gym. I also have two little kids and their coaches and members are more than accommodating with helping out and putting up with the occasional crying child. Their programming and coaching are topnotch so I trust that I’m in good hands, especially with a double knee injury. I’m also enjoying the friendships I’m forming and look forward to training there for many years to come. Check it out… great place!

It is always difficult moving and having to start all over with everything and CrossFit is no exception. When I moved to SoCal I was really worried I wouldn’t be able to find a gym that would meet both my CrossFit «fitness» needs and my CrossFit «community» needs. Oceanside CrossFit has done both of those better than I could ever ask. I am pushed every day in the gym and have met goals that I never thought I would meet. And I have made some amazing friends to help cheer me on along the way. You will not be disappointed when you join Oceanside CrossFit.

I’ve been going to OCF for 2 years now and it’s my second home! The staff is amazing and has helped push myself beyond my limits. This place will literally change your life! I highly recommend checking it out. You will not be disappointed.

Super rad owner, great coaches, nice spot. Get in there and hit a wod!

Great people and atmosphere. Felt just like the box back home!

Imagine walking into a gym where everyone knows your name, smiles and says, «Hey, what’s up.» Then while you are working out they encourage you to push to your fullest potential, even finish the WOD with you or help you could down your last few reps. After the workout everyone hangs out, chats about whatever, makes plans to get together or passes on a healthy new receipt or tells a joke. It’s not a gym really, it’s more like an extended family. The Oceanside Crossfit family consists of elite athletes, 20 & 30 something mom’s, Cougars, teens, Grandma’s, Marines, Firefighters and more.

This gym has pushed me to places I never thought I could go. It’s my home away from home.

Crossfit is an amazing way to get healthy and fit. Oceanside Crossfit is one of the best I’ve been too. They are very friendly and fun like a family as well as great at training. If you have a goal they will make sure you reach it. The only way to true fitness is through hard work and some sweat and Oceanside Crossfit will help you with both. You are sure to find what you need At this Crossfit gym.

Oceanside Crossfit is the first gym that I have ever actually wanted to belong to! The owners, Jeff and Laura (brother and sister) immediately make you feel like family. Crossfit has changed my life! Ths is not just another place to go and hang out on the oliptical with a smile on your face! This is a place where, before, during and afer a work out you KNOW you just did something great and you KNOW you wlll be back for more!
