I blindly introduced myself to Hardcore Fitness North County by enrolling in a 60 day challenge.  This challenge has not only transformed me physically and mentally but now I have a found a gym which is home.  The culture at this gym makes it a place where you want to work out.  You are greeted by your first name by the trainers from nearly day one.  The trainers engage with each of the class participants, not giving preference to any level or type of member.  Whether you have never stepped into a gym or are a gym rat, they make you feel like you belong, that you are strong and succssful.  During the classes, the trainers pay close attention to form and make sure that you are pushing yourself to your potential inspiring you to try a little harder, sweat a little more.  I have been a member of many gyms and many fitness classes, this is by far the best I have been to in every aspect.Thank you Kailey and Hardcore Fitness!

So I drove by hardcore while on my way to the buffet next door (DON'T JUDGE haha!!!) and saw they offered a free 5 day trial. THEN, I realized that this was the gym that one of my best friends has been going to for about a year and has had FABULOUS results from. I arrived to my first class and let me tell you!!! I have never felt more comfortable at a gym than I felt/feel walking into this gym!The trainers (especially KAILEY, PHIL, and BLISS) are crazy amazing! They're motivating; don't get me wrong they hold you accountable to push your limits, but that's why you're at a gym RIGHT!!! You want results and the only way to achieve them are to be held accountable. The trainers explain everything at the beginning and then as you rotate throughout the circuits they walk around to ensure your form is correct and recognize if people are struggling to do exercises correctly they offer modifications to ensure that you're getting the best workout possible without the risk of injuring yourself.The trainers are sooooo knowledgeable, patient, friendly, and probably some of the sweetest humans I have ever met (and this was based off of only 5 days working out there!). I noticed that after each workout I was soo excited to sign up for my next class and looked forward to coming the next day simply because of how supported, comfortable and empowered I felt while at Hardcore.They offer classes at various times throughout the day so you can come before work, during your lunch break, after work, and on the weekends!! They have 2 types of camps offered (bootcamp and fight camp!):(1) Bootcamp; which I would categorize as HIIT (forgive me if I'm wrong, I'm new to the fitness game) but basically each day they focus on a different body part (for example one day will be leg day, and the next will be arms, and the next will be abs and conditioning). This concept is awesome because it encourages you to come at least 5 days in a row so that you can hit all the major body groups all while giving the one you just worked out proper time to recover (GENIUS!). So when you go to the class you will see a giant white board that has 5 different circuits (which have between 3-5 exercises in each circuit) that you will rotate through (you spend 8 mins at each circuit, and try to do as many rounds as you can in those 8 mins) and then you rotate to the next! The 1 hour class starts with a warm up, and then the trainer will go over each circuit/exercise and demonstrate them!!! (SO helpful if you're as lost as me!!!)(2) Fight camp; which I would categorize as cardio based is also 5 circuits with a a few variations on how to use the machinery/workout stuff at each specific station!). They have punching/boxing bags at one station, rowers at another station, bikes, weighted medicine balls, ropes, boxes, weights ETC ETC. Don't worry if you don't know how to use any of this stuff, just like the bootcamp class the trainer will go over ALL of it and help you throughout the class if you're struggling! Another super cool and motivating element of this class is that they have a monitor which displays heart rates/calories burned of members that bring a heart rate monitoring watch (if you've been to orange theory, its exactly like that!!!). **They also offer a fight camp express class which is only 30 mins for people that have to get a quick workout in, and/or want to do it after bootcamp.**ALSO the music selection is AMAZING and indirectly forces you to push yourself harder simply by listening to the words/the beat!OVERALL, do yourself a solid favor and come here! They offer a 5 day trial and after experiencing just one class at this gym you will understand my addiction to coming. With the music, the energy of the trainers, and the support of fellow members you truly forget any problem you could have outside of the gym and focus solely on working hard. The structure of the classes make so much sense and it is very clear that Kailey (the owner) and the other trainers put a lot of work into making sure all members get a crazy workout in a timely manner (I mean only 1 hour?! THAT'S AMAZING!!!) Love this place and I KNOW you will too!!! More...

The gym staff is nice. They really are!!! This review is based on the 60 DAY FITNESS CHALLENGE. Ready!!!.... here it goesSo I took my first fitness challenge, I'm very disappointed. This challenge runs for about $349. This is the quote the receptionist gave me.-Team Captain didn't stay fully motivated to the end of the challenge. Stopped Facebook polls. He started strong then nothing at the end.-Team Captain never gave me the results to my first assessment, so I'm assuming he lost my first assessment. So when the challenge finished I had absolutely nothing to compare it to - During the challenge they take a Before and after photo. The gym lost the "before" photoSo you have nothing to compare it to.The gym is great. I lost 17 pounds. But they lack organization. I'm very disappointed towards the customer service with my fitness challenge. I brought it to the gym manager attention and there was a simple "I'm sorry". I'm very disappointed, yes. I don't feel like a valued gym member. Yes, they took my money. It's not cheap, to be a member here. I don't think management went above and beyond to make this matter better for me. I paid for a gym membership $200 and all I got in return was,..... I'm sorry.UPDATE!!!: gym manager has reached out to me and she is willing to make it all better. She even went above and beyond by comping me for my next challenge!!!! I'm very happy now with the customer service I have received. More...
