Find a Personal Trainer in San Diego

I found Xavier at a time in my life when I was unsatisfied with my physical health and body image. My primary goals were to gain weight and become stronger. To say that I achieved both those things would be an understatement to the value Xavier provided me however. Training with him has become a regular part of my life and I have adopted a far healthier routine than what I had before. For the first time in my life I feel far more confident about my body and my health, but most of all I am optimistic for even more gains in the future. Xavier gave me that optimism.

Training with Martin has been a game changer for me. He took the time to understand my personal goals and past injuries which made all the difference in building a program that actually works for me. It’s hugely motivating seeing the changes in my body. The results speak for themselves, and because of that, I have reached a point where I feel genuinely guilty if I miss a day. Martins support, knowledge, and encouragement have helped me take real ownership of my fitness. If you are looking for a personal trainer who truly listens and pushes you in the right way, Martin is your guy.

Paola is an amazing personal trainer! Prior to working with her, I was unfamiliar with what corrective exercise was and, boy, do I need it! She is incredibly competent and equally personable. She combines her impressive knowledge with the right mixture of exercise...never too much (aka "no pain, no gain," which I detest), but enough to challenge me. Always there to explain and solicit feedback AND to make sure that I am using the right technique. She also takes her time (never looking at her watch) and leaves me with "homework" to do on other days. I highly recommend Paola, either as a personal, in-home trainer or via other venues!

I’ve been working with Christian and CQ Performance for going on 6 months! I’ve absolutely loved the experience. Living in San Diego, there are so many options for strength and conditioning. I was overwhelmed! I knew I wanted to work with someone who was above all else patient and knowledgeable. Connecting with CQ Performance, I knew Christian was both! He’s totally shifted my attitude and has been an incredible resource. I can’t say enough good things!

Training with Madison has been amazing! When I started, I knew nothing about lifting and had zero confidence—I could barely squat with just the bar. Now, three months in, I’m lifting more every week and feeling so much stronger and more confident. Madison has me doing all sorts of new exercises I never thought I could do before. She makes the gym a fun, judgment-free zone. I actually look forward to our sessions because it feels like a workout and a hangout. She’s super encouraging and always pushes you to give your best. If you’re nervous like I was, just go for it. Most of the time it’s just you and Madison, and even if others are around, they’re focused on their own thing. I'm excited to be learning the foundational skills I need to keep working out on my own in the future.

As a Marine myself, I think Markshane and his studio are exactly the motivation and accountability I needed. His team is effective and efficient and always focused on individual results. I worked directly with Markshane and I am very satisfied with his demeanor and professionalism.

Having a trainer who understands you & your past history is super important. Sarah is very thoughtful & understanding of me being in eating disorder recovery. She monitors my weight & respects my desire to not know it (haven’t seen my weight in multiple years). She makes sure to keep me grounded & helps in any and every way to alleviate my anxiety & make sure I have healthy goals and healthy motivation. It’s Super important to find a trainer who respects and supports what you need. Sarah helped to grow my love for weight lifting in addition to help grow my knowledge. It’s something that she is and always has been committed to. When I moved out of the city, she then went the extra mile and helped me virtually so I could still learn and grow, but mainly to help alleviate my anxiety of being in a new gym and all alone. She really is the best and completely committed to getting to know her clients on a personal level and learn how she can help improve our lives. Eventually I finally felt like I could do it all on my own and I now follow my own programs, but anytime I have questions she is more than willing to spread her knowledge :). I’ve never had many physical body goals to avoid triggering my eating disorder, but I’m so happy with the physical changes I’ve seen from working with Sarah. She has helped me gain muscle mass, especially in my glutes, and has started me on the path to snatching this upper body and core too! You will not regret having Sarah as your trainer!!!

I was introduced to Samantha by a good friend months ago and it's the best thing to happen to me in 2023. I met with Sam at my own home, showed her what equipment I had available and we have been working out since. I am overweight and have health issues, and she has so much knowledge, I always feel safe working out with her. If something doesn't feel right, she can pivot immediately and give me a different exercise that can work the same muscles but with no discomfort. She is working in conjunction with my obesity doctor and for the first time, I am seeing great changes in my health journey. I have lost over 65lbs and I am feeling GREAT!!! I can walk up/down stairs without gasping for breath, every week I am stronger from the week before. The fact that she comes to my home, keeps me on track. I have no excuse to miss a training session. Samantha has extensive knowledge of nutrition and helps keep me on track, she is a great accountability coach. Always available to me, never takes long to text back, and keeps me encouraged. I am so happy I found her. I still have a long way to go, but I KNOW I got it with the help of Samantha.

Jeury is an amazing trainer! He’s super knowledgeable and really pays attention to the little details in your form. He’s always giving small tips and making subtle adjustments that completely transform the workout. I’ve had moments where I suddenly feel muscles I didn’t even know I had working, and it makes such a difference. When I started, my mobility wasn’t where I wanted it to be, but I’ve seen so much improvement since training with him. I’m getting stronger every day, and what I love most is how much he really cares about your progress. He gets genuinely excited when you improve, which keeps me motivated and makes the whole experience so positive. On top of that, he’s just such a friendly and easy-to-talk-to guy. I can’t recommend Jeury enough. Working with him has been a game-changer for me!

I’ve been doing personal training for over two years and am a loyal fan! Will and Shirlley really know their stuff helping people get safely into better shape in a fun and supportive atmosphere. I started working with them postpartum, after a tough pregnancy, in the worst shape of my life. It took a while but with consistency and patience I got to my pre-pregnancy weight, stronger than ever, without injury. Highly recommend!

Will is an excellent leader! He pushes and motivates folks to be the best version of themselves both in and out of the gym. With Will's leadership, the workout classes became a close knit community of like-minded people with the same goal of getting better. My time with The Wave taught me so much in my fitness journey, so many moments and opportunities to improve. I feel blessed to have met and worked with Will Wilberforce. Probably not the right platform for transformation pics but Will has them in his portfolio! Thank you Will, forever grateful ☝💪💙
