Steph is an awesome coach! The facility is well lit, open, high ceilings and a sick socal culture. Great E.Village Vibe! Thanks for the great day!

Great 6am drop in class with Drew, he was a great coach I got some tips after cross fitting for 5 years that were big efficiency helpers! The box is a bit dirty would be my only constructive critique and the only thing that kept me at 4 stars. More...

Such a fabulous gym with great people! I used ClassPass to participate in their Quickfit classes (was in town for a conference) and they made me feel like I was a member, and not just a drop in. Thank you for kicking my butt!

Easily the best place to workout downtown. The gym is huge and clean. The trainers are awesome, attentive, and care about technique. I felt right at home here. If you're new to CrossFit or a veteran just dropping in, you'll love this place. Absolutely recommend it to anyone looking to sweat while in San Diego! More...

Joined the gym a week ago and I am having the best time. The coaches are awesome! Athletes are not rushed to exceed their own ability level but are still encouraged to constantly push through old limits.

Owners are chill and very knowledgeable. All of the trainers that teach various classes are extremely helpful. New to crossfit it was a bit of a learning curve and still is but as I go to each class I feel like I learn a little more. Almost 3 months in and I definitely can see and feel the difference. Ran a lot prior and went to Fit (regular gym) but the results are so much more noticeable going to Bear Republic. More...

Been coming to San Diego for work off and on for a bit and finally made it into Bear Republic. Went at noon, wasn't too crowded. Christine (sp?! I hope I didn't screw that up) was an excellent coach. Whether you have experience or not she went through the technical movements thoroughly and gave pointers for the easy stuff. Don't be afraid to drop in if you're like me and travel a lot. Good coach, good crew, good workout. More...

Awesome first class! I went to one of their afternoon classes for a drop-in since I'm shopping for a gym in downtown. All of their staff was super friendly and helpful. David, the coach for the session I went to, took the time to make sure I understood every move. He gave me feedback and modification options since I'm short & light. There's definitely a community vibe here - everyone quickly introduces themselves at the beginning.All in all, LOVED my first class here and can't wait to come back! More...

Awesome gym space and a good community! Would highly recommend this place to locals as well as those that are passing through for vacation or business. This is probably one of the largest (in terms of square footage) privately owned gyms in the area, and they have all your essentials including barbells, dumbbells, kettlebells, rigs, rowers, assault bikes, ski ergs, d-balls, sand bags and more. Drop in for the free class at 10 am on Saturdays to check it out. More...

Recently had a business trip to San Diego my boss convinced me to try CrossFit. We worked out twice at Bear Republic the workout for someone who never does cross fit was awesome . The instructors were fantastic, very helpful in making sure I new what I was doing and importance of form and working through the desire to want to quit. Overall great place really enjoyed the workouts it kicked my ass and instructors and people in class were all very nice Yes when in town I would definitely go back. More...

Best crossfit gym in the city. Plenty of space, all the equipment you need, open gym hours, and a lot of class offerings. The best part of it all for you is that it's very under priced. Check it out if you get a chance.

Very nice place with super friendly coaches. We dropped in for a class while on vacay. We had the option to pay for class for $15 or buy a shirt so we bought a shirt instead. Definitely recommend!

Bear Republic is an excellent facility for those looking to participate in crossfit and/or weight lifting. Their staff is incredibly helpful, the environment inclusive, and they are open all day to accommodate just about any schedule. Your fitness and success are truly their number one concern. Just learning? They have you covered. Already an experienced athlete that needs a facility to train? Got that too. The vibe is family, not the stereotypical 'crossfit cult'. I can not recommend this gym enough. Check them out, you will not be disappointed! More...

I spent the week in San Diego and picked this box to visit while I was in town. The box was very friendly and the coaches had such a great attitude! They were all very friendly. This gym has open gym all day which is really nice and it is a separate area from the class floor. I bought a week membership which was 50.00, and it included unlimited class and open gym use. I am so glad I picked this gym. More...

I have been on a search for a bit of time for a CrossFit facility which has the credentials, coaches, availability and utilizes a blend of CrossFit and traditional Olympic Weightlifting modalities. As a former college hockey player, I wanted to engage in workouts that are not for the faint of heart and will take me to the next level holistically again as I was years ago. In addition, the workouts would require competition, self-improvement, perseverance, patience, practice and pride. Bear Republic CrossFit is the place! In a year since becoming part of Bear Republic CrossFit, I not only feel great but I also had to invest in a new wardrobe due to the weight loss and the lean muscle mass gain. In addition, I completed my first CrossFit Games Open in 2018 and finished in the middle of the pack on the West Coast for my fitness level and bracket. There is more work to come and potentially back into competition one day. Highly recommend Bear Republic CrossFit to enhance your ability to meet your personal goals within the fitness arena. More...
