I'm a former high school football and baseball athlete, but at 31, I hadn't been regularly training in a decade. Over that time, I had joined and canceled at a couple of gyms, worked out a couple of times a week for a couple of months here and there, and never really started to feel fit again or feel better about myself physically. Over the last two months, I've gotten to where I'm choosing to go to Coach Berry's 5 days a week out of enjoyment and genuine excitement to train each day. It's fun to see Coach every day, and the regulars are all great people I enjoy feeling like I'm on a team with. Coach's training approach is simple and effective. And what makes the biggest difference is that enjoying training means you train more regularly and see results. It's awesome. Check it out. More...

Coach Berry is an amazing personal trainer. He cares about the person as a whole and wants you to succeed in every way that matters to you. My previous gym did not care one bit about my health or if I was doing the exercises correctly....and in only 2 months I am seeing changes in my body I have been trying to get for YEARS!

Coach Berry has an amazing amount of equipment both for cardio and toning available in his studio and makes it all work. He makes sure you are doing every exercise exactly right and gives you massages when things hurt and you don't want to continue.

His other coach, Bob, is also a wonderful guy and so very motivating and caring.

Where else can you go for training and get a hug everyday? These guys are fantastic! More...

I have been coming here weeks and signed up for 6 months. (Will likely extend). I was able to get some beginning stages done at a place called Everybody's Fit in Oceanside as well for 8 months. It was nothing compared to Dare to Be Fit. I am so grateful to be here, my body is working in ways I haven't seen in years and I was at a complete plateau at my last gym. I needed a place like Dare to Be Fit to get me where I want to be, no jokes, no weak work outs. All work and no Zumba. Not that Zumba is bad, just comparing the intensities. EVERYONE should come and Dare to Be Fit!! When everyone says that Coach Berry makes sure your form is correct, he does exactly that. He's always monitoring everyone and providing protein shakes if we need them as well as massages on sore areas. I have yet to cash in on this but I will! They are so awesome here and Brian the other trainer is superb as well! You have full attention, full equipment, full gym, full care, and events you can go to as well for learning about fitness. I could go on and on, I love it here and you will too! More...

Today was day two of being back in the gym and working out with my trainer (Rb Berry) and I am feeling REALLY sore. But a good sore--all in the muscles.

Coach Berry was responsible for getting me into the best shape of my life a number of years ago--good eating, five days a week workouts and regular surf sessions will do that.

But then I got sidelined by surfing injuries--a bad shoulder injury that required surgery, and then by a broken back. Anyone who saw me throughout 2015 and through mid 2016 can attest to the impact of the back injury on my life.

It was a time marred by constant agonizing pain, walking with a cane, epidural injections, and a suddenly sedentary lifestyle. It sucked, no doubt about it. Here's some perspective: the day we walked into our new home in April 2016, I was barely able to do so and hobbled in with a cane.

Once the back pain subsided, I was just happy to exist and not be in pain. I avoided most physical activity out of fear that I would hurt my back again. But that led to weight gain and a loss of strength and mobility. Definitely not a comfortable place.

Now I figure that enough is enough. Now is the time to get back in the gym and to do it with a purpose.

If anyone in North County wants to do the same, I highly recommend Coach Berry's gym--Dare to be Fit Coach Berry's Studio--in Oceanside. More...

I've wanted and needed to find a gym that would help motivate me to not only start, but stay committed to an exercise program. Then over the past year, I've met several different women who looked and felt amazing and "coincidentally" were all going to the same gym with the infamous "Coach Berry" as their trainer. So, I decided to stop making excuses and give "Coach" a try. I am only 3 days into it and can honestly say I feel a difference, but most importantly I am excited to work out for the 1st time in YEARS! Coach does an amazing job at making you feel welcome, inspired and excited to be a part of his team. I can tell he has an extensive education on physical fitness and the human body and trust his abilities in helping me attain my goals. I can't wait to post another review in a couple months tracking my progress, b/c I truly believe there will finally be the progression I've always wanted. Thanks to Coach!! More...

Stop looking for another personal training coach. For general fitness training, weight loss, strength training, rehabilitation of injuries, Coach Berry is simply the best! Here's what I've found that he does great:1. He listens. He listens to your every word so that your needs are met.2. He encourages ... and gives the right amount of pushing when you're slacking or slipping. In my opinion, holding you accountability is one of the biggest benefits of having a coach.3. He is a stickler for proper form in all exercises.4. He has a gym with all the equipment you need.5. His other clients are very encouraging and also striving to meet their goals.6. He's at the studio all the time!!! At least it seems that way.7. He remembers where I'm at on each exercise. That is, he always knows what resistance I can handle for every exercise and remembers what my progression has been so far and then sets up every exercise for me.8. He prepares a meal plan for you to help you meet you reach your goals.9. Mixes up the exercises so that your muscles don't get used to the same old exercise and plateau.10. He answers every question any time, all the time.11. His other trainers are personally trained by Coach Berry and are excellent.11. He charges by the month and not the hour. Thank God because I can work out as much as I want under his expert watchful eye without having to watch the $$ meter ticking. It actually encourages me to work out more frequently and stay longer.If you're serious about wanting to be the best you, this is the place.Just as background, I'm 53 and feel 30. I didn't have far to go in the first place but Coach Berry teaches us to do it right with proper exercise and proper nutrition. I also had to work with rotator cuff, back and tendonitis issues. With his help I've improved and strengthened all these areas...much better than any physical therapist for me before. I've hit all my goals and have reset new ones.BTW, we've all seen those before and after pics of people buying those exercise gadgets on infomercials. I see Coach Berry's 'afters' live at his studio. Pretty amazing actually. Very motivating. Coach Berry is my guy. More...
