The Tone Zone

Love, love, love this place! I take the Power Pedal (spin) classes with Ashley and it delivers on a great workout every time. Small class sizes provide for personalized attention and surprisingly, a sense of working as a team.

My roommate found this place on accident and kept going so I tagged along once and left thinking «Wow! This place is going to earn a lot of my money!»
Pedal & Pump is an excellent, efficient workout. You alternate between the gravity machine and a spin bike. It looks easy but it’s not! The instructors are all great and pay a lot of attention to everyone. They also accommodate people’s injuries or medical conditions and are really good at gauging your fitness level so that you are getting a workout that’s not too easy or beyond your capability. Every class has some moves for legs, upper body/​arms, and core, so that plus some cardio and it’s really a complete workout.
The Power Pedal class with Ashley is easily the best spin class I’ve ever been to.
I leave the TZ covered in sweat every time, and I always have that good next-​day «I worked out!» feeling. I’ve only been going a short time but it has been a great confidence-​booster and is definitely toning all those stubborn zones we ladies love to complain about. I recently started bringing my boyfriend and his roommate and they love it too! They are both very fit with natural athletic builds and they were shocked at how good of a workout it was!
The Tone Zone is an excellent fitness value and a really positive experience.

I stumbled across the Tone Zone when I injured my ankle from running and needed a replacement cardio workout. I was searching for a spin studio with early morning classes, to accommodate my work schedule, and I found the Tone Zone. I cant believe how lucky I was to find this studio. The workout involves cycling to three songs and weight training on a gravity machine. You alternate one spin song with a weight workout and end with abs. There is no opportunity to be bored in this class.
The studio is clean, the equipment is well maintained, the music is fun, the clients are funny and motivated, the instructors are incredible, and the workout is intense. The Tone Zone is like having a personal trainer at every class for a fraction of the cost. Because the studio is small and the instructors know you, there is a personal touch and there is accountability. You will show up for your workouts!
I have been going to the Tone Zone for about a year now and I have never been in better shape. It is a total body workout and every class routine is unique. If I ever have to move away I will insist that Richelle open another Tone Zone in my new neighborhood, I am addicted. Adding in Ashley’s Power Pedal class (all spin) once a week is a really nice option to have as well on those weekends when I want more cardio.
I love this place!

Best workout in San Diego! Clean, professional environment. Nicest studio I have been to. Gravity and spinning! Teachers are all great. I would highly recommend this to anyone looking for a good work out.

BEST workout ever! I feel more confident having a total body workout vs just working out on a treadmill or going for a run. The instructors are the perfect mix of pushing you to go harder, yet not over the top.
I highly recommend this place! For those who say it’s pricey, remember you get what you pay for in life. This is SO worth it, to not only look better, but to feel better from within!
Bikini body here I come!

Really nice studio, INCREDIBLE workout, really liked my instructor (Ashley). I did a Power Pedal class (I just wanted spin; I do my strength training elsewhere). I had never taken a spin class before, and Ashley showed me how to set up my bike and gave me some tips for first-​timers. And within 24 hours of my first class, Richelle, the owner, sent me a thank you email, which I thought was a very nice touch to welcome new students. Definitely recommend The Tone Zone!

The class concept is great, the equipment is awesome and there is a really convenient parking lot in the back too. The instructor was friendly and I felt it was a good workout. I actually went in with a headache and left feeling a lot more energetic. The next day I was a little sore but nothing too crazy to a point that would make me regret going.
The only suggestions to point out though is that they cleaned the equipment where we lay on with windex, and I was a little uncomfortable having to lay on something that is cleaned with chemicals, I think if they used some «Green/​Environmentally Friendly» product that wasnt toxic I would have felt a lot better psychologically at least haha.
Also altough the instructor was very friendly i think i could have benefited better if she had paid fixed my posture whenever necessary. It was my first time doing those exercises and being on that machine so I find it very unlikely that I was doing everything 100% correct and didnt need any pointers. Some exercises were too easy and I came to think I had to be doing something wrong.

Great workout! I really noticed a difference in my body when working out at the Tone Zone!

I enjoy each and every workout I have at The Tone Zone. It’s energetic and keeps my workouts fun!

I’ve just finished with my 15^th session and I LOVE it! Richelle is great at pushing you just a little further each time. Having not worked out in about a year this has me excited and ready for my next class every time. I feel better, look better and get stronger every day! Thanks Richelle!

What a great and intense work out! Definitely challenging and never boring. I would leave feeling really proud of myself, which is always a nice way to end a work out. I loved taking classes with Kelly. She was really great! I would definitely recommend tone zone to anyone looking for a different yet hard work out.
I would keep going here but unfortunately I can’t afford it. It’s a pricey work out and I’m a poor grad student but luckily, I was able to try this out because of a promotion on bloomspot. When I graduate or when I’m feeling particularly lardy, I’ll definitely consider buying monthly passes or doing a drop-​in class. Something. It’s worth it.

I very highly recommend the Tone Zone. You absolutely get all the bang for your buck. The class is challenging and a really great workout! The class does a lot of strength training, but also incorporates the cycle bike– a complete workout in an hour! A huge plus is that the teacher (Richelle) is very well educated in technique and form. She always makes sure you are properly doing every exercise. The studio is very clean and all the equipment is new. This studio deserves all 5 stars for sure!

I love working out here! I am the same way as most everyone else… don’t have a ton of time for workouts but need something high impact and high intensity and in just a few short months of going only twice a week, I have lost a decent amount of weight and also toned up those problem areas we women all hate; thighs are skinnier and arms and back are toning up! I definitely recommend and love Richelle. She is great! Give it a try!

I’ve been going to The Tone Zone for about a year and half now and I love it. I started going to the class because of the great Unilocal reviews and I’m glad I did. The classes are small so the instructors can make sure you are doing everything correctly and not injuring yourself. I had never done a spin class before and was a bit nervous about trying, but the combination of spin and gravity gives the perfect amount of cardio to raise your heart rate with strength training mixed in.

The Tone Zone is GREAT! Richelle is an awesome trainer — she is encouraging and really motivates you to push yourself! You will definitely get a good workout — the combination of spin/​gravity is a great workout! I’ve never been one to really enjoy the gym but I love Richelle’s classes and I know I am getting a great workout! In fact, somedays I can’t believe how quickly 60 minutes can go by! The class sizes are «just right» — a max of 8 people per class so you are sure to get individual attention when you need it, and Richelle will help tailor the exercises /​weights as needed to be sure you are working out properly and safely. The new facility is great — spacious, clean, modern and plenty of parking. Class scheduling is a breeze with the online scheduler on her website and I appreciate the flexible class schedules! Definitely recommend The Tone Zone!

I have been going to the Tone Zone for two years and still love it! I usually get bored pretty quickly with workouts but Richelle makes the class fun and never boring. You never do the same workout routine. The class size of 8 is perfect, you get to feel like you are getting personal training but without the cost of a private trainer. In the first year I was going I lost 20 lbs and have kept it off for the last year with 3 times a week workouts. Then when I got pregnant, Richelle has been great accomodating the exercises to what I can do throughout my pregnancy. I would highly recommend the Tone Zone!

The Tone Zone has a brand new and extremely spacious home on Morena! I can’t say enough good things about this incredible workout. I recently took a pilates class for the first time at another gym and personally found that it wasn’t nearly as good of a workout. I will stick with gravity. It works all those little muscles your other workouts can’t get to. Plus you get that blast of cardio from the spinning to burn fat! Oh yeah, and the instructors are awesome.
LOVE The Tone Zone!

I started working out at The Tone Zone in July 2011 based on Unilocal reviews. I have lost about 15 lbs and who knows how many inches that I couldn’t get off with anything else I was trying! I usually get bored with a workout program, but not this one — I gladly attend 3 times per week because the workouts make me feel so great and so focused for my workday.
Richelle and Heather are both great trainers and I love the small class size. It’s much more economical than hiring a personal trainer and has the same benefits. This is something I plan to do long term and am very glad I found this class!

I love working out at the Tone Zone. I’ve been going 1 – 2 times per week for over a year now and its a very challenging but rewarding workout. The instructor, Richelle, is very motivating and talented. She knows just how hard to push each person in the class. The class sizes are small (5 – 6 people) which is great because you get a lot of individual attention and its easy to build friendships and feel comfortable. I couldn’t imagine NOT going to the Tone Zone.
You’ll be super sore after your first class, but don’t let that discourage you. Your body will get more accustomed to the strength training and you won’t be that sore again (as long as you keep going!) and you’ll definitely see a difference. I love the strength training portion of the class because I have no clue how to do that on my own. Richelle will make sure that you are doing everything correctly and will modify the exercise if necessary.
I have also taken several class with Heather and she is just as great!
All in all, I highly recommend The Tone Zone. I haven’t found another exercise class that comes close. TRY IT!

I first heard about the Tone Zone through one of those coupon sites. I bought a coupon and jumped right in. I really enjoyed Richelle’s spin/​gravity classes from the very beginning. I now pay full price and I really feel that it is worth it. I can see a difference in my body, I’m challenged every single time, and I thoroughly enjoy it. I couldn’t recommend this place more.
