I love this gym!! I was already training at a gym, staying in my comfort level and not seeing the results I needed as I was heading into my second Spartan. I signed up for MROC and remember getting home thinking: What have I just subscribed to? Am I even going to like it? It is now the highlight of my day, my stress relief after work, and the driving force of my continued physical improvements! I have made friends here and signed up for additional events that I wouldn’t have otherwise been exposed to. The coaches know every single member by name; they know their personalities, what drives them, and their strengths and weaknesses. This is so important when you’re dealing with an injury or when you are trying to dig deep to finish the workout. The workouts are scalable, challenging, and fun. The format of rotating workouts keeps it constantly interesting!My speed, strength, and mindset have all improved in the last 9 months and I can’t wait to see what more I can accomplish in the future!

I can't say anything that hasn't already been said about MROC, but I am one more happy customer. After 18 years of rock climbing, I needed something new. I tried yoga, tennis, biking, spin classes, but nothing really clicked until I joined MROC. These work outs are never boring! I am challenged every single time. I have been going for a little over a year. When I first joined I just wanted a good work out that would keep me interested. What I got instead was a whole new sport. I completed my first Spartan race and have signed up for two more. I had never done anything involving a Coach before. Wow, what a difference it makes to have people who guide you with your personal fitness. That was the difference between a work out and a new sport for me. I developed goals there that I didn't have before and it's been a blast. If you are a seasoned athlete they can push you further, if you are not athletic at all, they can help you become one. If you are reading this and trying to decide whether to try them out, do it! You won't be disappointed. More...

Regardless of your fitness level, the time spent at this gym is inspiring, demanding and transformative. MROC is an amazing OCR prep and training center. Each workout is different and pushes your body to a new level.  The owners, Mike and Krista, are kind, helpful and run a well-managed gym. They teach well and offer so many resources- everything from advice and recommendations about the best supplements, to instructional videos of all kinds, skills training courses, one-on-one assessments and accountability towards reaching your goals. They have great equipment, including obstacles you'll find at any OCR, weighted balls, dumbbells, barbells, rowing machines and bikes, kettle bells, ropes and more.  The classes are spread throughout the morning and evening to accommodate most schedules. The coaches are personable and fun, but make no mistake, the workouts are hard. The coaches notice everyone during each workout and push each of us at our own level (some members regularly podium at Spartans and other OCRs, and others like me, will be happy just to complete a race someday soon). The best part is the community the coaches create. It's driven by core values that encourage you to dig deep and to hold yourself accountable. The class size is small and you get to know some great people who have similar goals. It becomes a part of your life and encourages and improves your body strength and endurance. Joining MROC is the best thing I've done since moving to Oceanside. More...

When looking at a scale losing 6lbs in three months doesn't seem like a great accomplishment. Especially after losing 20 pounds from the last year 2018 to the beginning of this year January 2019. Some individuals may get frustrated and ignore all the progress that has been made. At my three-month assessment this past week, I figured out I am one of these types of individuals. Then when read the results not only did I find out that I wasn't not the father (hahah) but that I lost 8% in body fat, gained 10 POUNDS of lean MASS and lost 23 pounds in fat mass. My running has improved, my ability to move through obstacles has improved dramatically and I am stronger than ever! Today I was able to muscle up the warped wall with ease. All about mindset and today my mindset is so positive because with effort and the most remarkable coaches and facility (MROC) housing the most astonishing teammates I have seen amazing progress in my fitness life and body than I have ever been privileged to witness before. Strong and healthy is beautiful, and right now, I am feeling dropped dead gorgeous.Money worth spent. I have fallen in love with this place. The workouts are always new.

I was looking for a workout facility in my area and found MROC on Yelp. I am not a "fitness junkie", but enjoy a rigorous workout. After touring the facility and meeting Coach Mike - I quickly signed up to be a member. Coaches: Coach Mel is a legendary trainer who is extremely knowledgeable, motivational and provides refined instruction & guidance! I have trained with a lot of instructors over the years, but Coach Mel has one of the best training styles I have seen - she pushes you to do your best & even joined me to finish off workouts on multiple occasions. I would highly recommend her classes! Coach Luke is also a great instructor who helped me refine my lifting technique immensely, but I did not attended as many of his classes due to my schedule.Members: The fellow MROC members are dedicated, friendly & always share words of motivation to keep you going. With that said - I was looking for a training center with a fun atmosphere where everyone trained hard, but also had a community aspect that went beyond strictly fitness. This was not the case at MROC and many of the members dedicate their lives to training by: traveling around the U.S. to compete in races regularly, only topic they converse about is fitness & some attending multiple classes per day (which was quite impressive!)Cons: There are limited classes in the evenings after work which made it difficult to fit in with my work schedule. The main downfall that caused me to find a better fitting fitness program after 3 months at MROC were the members who think they are the instructor by attempting to critique & coach you themselves during the group classes. Pros: Excellent trainers, quality equipment & fun/challenging obstacles.Overall: MROC has great programs, phenomenal instructors & a very cool and unique facility.  The programs are designed for fitness enthusiasts & I would not recommend it to those trying to get back into fitness, or looking for a community with interests beyond exercise.

MROC is an AMAZING place where you get to push yourself out of your comfort zone with encouragement, support, and guidance from great coaches and your fellow MROC peeps, who become your friends and mentors! I really can’t explain how incredibly supportive, fun, and challenging the people are at MROC. I would absolutely not consider myself an athlete or an athletic person but over the past year MROC has proved to me that I can do athletic things and someday soon I may even say I’m athletic. Prior to January 2018 I had never climbed over an 8 foot wall. I had never even thought that I could run a 5k (3.2 miles) in under 35 minutes. And I sure didn’t think I would ever do a Spartan race. But here I am, one year later, and I’m doing all of those things! If you’re looking for a place where everyone’s accomplishments are celebrated equally, at every level of athleticism then give yourself the gift of joining MROC! Safety is a top priority for the coaches and other members. You are guided through every exercise/obstacle. You don’t have to worry about how you’re going to get over a 6 or 8 foot wall because your coaches will teach you how to do it safely and at a pace that you’re are comfortable with. No one cares if it takes you a month, 6 months, or a year to accomplish your goal or complete an obstacle. All your coaches ask is that you come in every day with a positive attitude, a willingness to do your best, and with goal of having fun!And for those of you who are athletes…you’ll be working side-by-side with incredible athletes, accomplishing amazing things! Trail runs, OCR races, Epic races, Ragnars…these are things that MROC athletes are training for all the time. These are the people who make me push myself harder. But the one thing you you’ll need to do is leave your ego at the door and be willing to join a tribe of athletes who will support and encourage everyone, at every level, every step of the way!Are you looking a sign? If so, this is it! This is the sign! Take the step! Get out of your comfort zone in a safe, encouraging, and most importantly empowering place. That place is MROC! More...

My Journey to Mroc started out of frustration over the normal gym routine. I had decided that I wanted to get in shape, I wanted to get stronger, but lacked direction and motivation. I started going to the gym, but didnt know how or what to do. I really didnt feel motivated when I was there and was honestly lost there. One day I was driving by Mroc and decided to set up a call and see what it was about. I met with Coach Mike Confer and he instantly spoke my language. Im not sure if he is some kind of masterful salesman or what but he instantly sold me on what Mroc can offer and do for me. Since my first day at Mroc, I felt an instant attachment to the facility and the people who are there. Coach mike def undersold what Mroc can do for me/you. Its been 18 months since I joined and Im nearly at my 300th class. I can say with all honesty that Mroc has changed my life. Its change my physical appearance. I have lost over 40 pounds since joining and have become lean and fit. (I have also found leggings and short shorts awesome and comfortable, but that is another conversation.) It has also opened up a whole other world for me. I look forward to spartan races, 10K, epic series and other outdoor activities. I would have never thought that I would be able to complete a spartan races or run a 10k but now I look forward to them and get excited talking about them. Im also inspired by the other gym members. Every day Im motivated just seeing others push themselves and better there lives. Mroc has done wonders for me and my life and I could probably write a novel about the members and coaches, but I got work to do.
