Andy (Owner) is a great trainer. Hes patient with teaching you exercises youve never done. Always has a great sense of humor. Other members of the gym create a fun community. This is the best exercise Ive had in a really long time. The classes force me to work out harder than I would if left on my own at the gym.

I was in town for just a few months for a project, and I learned more in that time about good lifting practice than I have in years of trying to learn by myself. No questions went unanswered, the trainers are all super knowledgeable and attentive even in the group classes. I shopped around at several gyms in the area before choosing this one and am confident I made the right choice. I wish I had a gym of this quality back home!

Ive been working out with these guys for years as this gym has evolved and they never fail to impress me. They offer challenges to help get you motivated, personalized service, without being too in your face, and the work outs?They help me find muscles I never knew existed!Great gym, great owners, great membership following.

I love working with the trainer at 181. He is professional, knowledgeable, patient, and genuinely cares. Its more than just conditioning and improving strength. 181 helps the whole person. Physical, emotional and overall spiritual health. I also dont feel overwhelmed in their facility. Plenty of space, and good equipment that feels like its just for me.

A friend invited me to attend a class at this gym with him. I decided to go and was very impressed. I dont think I have ever worked out as hard as I did that morning. I was sore from head to toe, but I was completely motivated to do it again. The owners are encouraging, knowledgeable, and fun. The members are also a fun group and encourage each other. Best gym I have ever attended, but be prepared to get your butt kicked.

I had never worked out at a gym before I joined 181 Fitness. The trainers are great and so good with newbies like me. They push me while making sure I have good form while doing the exercises. And its fun! I really look forward to going!I found that working out here has really built my confidence in life. It helps me realize I am capable of so much more than I thought.The well designed workouts also help with my running by helping me increase my stamina, build my strength, and strengthen my core.Thanks to Cody, Gabriel, Tony, Jessie and the rest of the 181 staff. Its a really friendly and knowledgeable group of people and I highly recommend them

This gym is really like a life and fitness community. Cody, Anthony and Gabriel give their all to motivate, train and support each and every member. I guarantee big box gyms will never give you this type of cutting-edge training, nutritional guidance, personal attention and fun! There are classes to meet all types of fitness goals with times from 5:30 a.m. to 7:30 all week long! I know a lot of our members say 181 changed their lives and that we are a big family. I am another who will confirm that is true.

I initially joined for their 21 days skinny Jean challenge. They really do Taylor the work out to you and your goals. They give you three weeks worth of menus if you want to follow them. I did my own menu following their nutritional goals. When I first started I wasnt necessarily 100% committed but after my first boxing class, I was hooked! I would never go back to a regular gym; so I joined 181° fitness permanently. The trainers are fun, & and without being drill sergeants, they really motivate you to give 100% plus. They incorporate all exercises at all levels so you dont feel self-conscious if you are not an expert but if youve been there a while, you can work out at a higher level. My two trainers, Tony and Gabe, are top notch and I joined because of their classes. They do not skimp and give you a 50 minute work out; rather, you get the full 60 minutes of hard work, demonstrating each exercise every step of the way. I highly recommend this gym, even if you just join for one of the challenges to jumpstart your fitness goals.

I have been coming to 181 Fitness for a little less than a month on the recommendation of a friend, and I have to say, Im very impressed with the program. The family atmosphere is very welcoming and motivational. Ive already lost weight! Highly recommended. Go check them out!

181 Fitness has been key to what I am hopeful will be my last time trying to lose weight. I have been down this road too many times on my own. I have yo-yod up and down with my weight over most of my adult life. I am optimistic that I am losing weight for the last time. For the first time in my life I have been exercising consistently for almost a year. The supportive team of trainers and clients at 181 have helped me go from a dieter to someone living a healthy lifestyle. Having always been a big person I want to set a solid example for my children on how to live a healthy lifestyle. My hope is that by helping them build a solid foundation that my children will never go on a diet. This aligns with the philosophy at 181. The team at 181 provides the entire health/fitness package!The focused attention and family like atmosphere drives you to want to succeed. Ive dropped 65+ pounds since starting up here and I believe that Ive found the right combination of diet, exercise and most importantly comradery and push to keep it up and have it be a lifelong behavioral change. The Bishops rock!

181 has become my home away from home! I started back in August 2014 for what I thought was going to be a 21 day program, however I loved it so much I quickly became a member. This place is like no gym I have ever been to, the level of care and guidance we receive is amazing. The trainers and staff truly care about you and your goals and will do everything they can to help you succeed. I have made some wonderful new friends who along with the staff motivate you in such a positive way. It may sound cheesy but we really are like a family!!

I first heard of this gym through my neighbor, who has been working out here for a few months now. She could not stop raving about it, so I thought I would give it a try. They are a small gym located in Vista, CA, but their trainers, equipment and personalized plans are fabulous! I was lucky enough to meet the owner, Cody Bishop and experience the gym myself. They offer private, semi-private and group workouts. I experienced the semi-private workouts, which had three people to one trainer. But, it felt like I was with private instruction because each trainer will take the time with the individual to demonstrate and perfect posture. I noticed a difference after just a few days! I would highly recommend 181 Fitness!

Absolutely LOVE 181 Fitness. My husband and I joined in January 2015 and enjoy the personal attention/training, as well as the community that we have been welcomed into. It is exactly what we were looking for!

This is not a cross fit gym. Dont need any injuries doing those lifts. 181 Fitness is most definitely one of a kind just like myself. 181 Fitness has the best support system in place to make sure you obtain your goals and then some.

Fantastic way to start your day! Small group sizes lead to individual attention from the staff. Very glad I joined for the summer. Not sure how Ill make it during the school year with schedules :-(

181 Fitness is the best personal training studio in town! Not only is Cody and his team super professional and friendly, they deliver RESULTS like no body else. If you are in the Vista California area and looking to lose weight, lose fat, get fit, get stronger, do yourself a favor and give them a call.

Smaller classes means more attention from the trainers. I came to 181 fitness with a shoulder injury and a tricky back. The trainers worked with me to get great results. I love this place.

Simply the best! The equipment and machines are always clean and in working order

My entire life has changed joining 181 Fitness and training with Cody and his team. Not only is my body stronger but so is my mind and soul. With Codys degree in Psychology he and his team not only help you become stronger physically, but they help you strengthen your mindset. Allowing you to reach and surpass goals you never thought possible. I now understand the connection between health and happiness and I owe that to the entire family at 181 Fitness. The staff and trainers at 181 Fitness are professional, punctual and go above and beyond to make sure you are receiving the best service possible. I can honestly say I love each and every one of the trainers at 181 Fitness.- Michelle B., Vista CA

Cody & his coaches were able to help me deal with some frustrating injuries and still reach my personal fitness goals. Such a fun, positive environment- So happy to have found 181!

What can I say? Ive been working out here for 3 weeks now and I love it! I have Fybromyalgia and and in the worst shape Ive ever been in. The owner of the gym as well as all the staff are aware of my issue and check in on me when I am there to make sure Im doing okay. I even got a couple calls from one of the trainers, just checking in after I worked out to see how I was feeling. When was the last time you talked to or even saw the owner of the gym you work out in?Its not just another gym, its a family. Its a No Judgement Zone! There are people here that are crazy fit and there are beginners like me. Everyone helps each other and encourages one another. The trainers are very knowledgable and so friendly and approachable.There are no silly or dumb questions…they are here to help and They Want To Help!I say if you are looking for a new gym, just stop by and talk to them. try a few classes and I bet you will see what I see…a great place To Get Healthy and In Shape!

Fun fact, when you hit your mid-thirties, metabolism slows way down! And there is so much good craft beer in Vista! Next thing I know, Im way up in the weight and it is showing.Wife and I decide to find a personal trainer. We used the national chain well known to all for a few years, but there was no personal connection or motivation. We visited 181 and met with the owner/trainer Cody. His pitch was strong. They ask for a real commitment. And it is not cheap. But I saw a sign on the back wall that said A year from now, youll wish you had started today. And that was the tipping point. I didnt want to be in June 2016 and be worse off and sad that I hadnt even tried.So we joined. They start with an assessment session. And let me tell you, this must have been funny to watch. They put me through a basic series of stretches and movements that I was not very good at. We talked goals, discussed strength vs weight loss, and put together a basic plan. Frankly, my goal was just to show up and get through it for the first month.Its now six months later. And I went from barely doing 3 pushups, to doing 30 without a problem. When I started, my back would hurt from just looking at a kettlebell. Ive now quadrupled the weight I can use with comfort - and feel the results. I can now squat, press, and deadlift like a mofo. And as a dude, deadlifting 200+ pounds feels so amazing.Beyond feeling good, theyve helped me not feel bad. They connect you with a local physical therapist who can work through joint and muscle pain. This is not mumbo jumbo - it is a MUST if you are retaining your body to move in ways it never has...We love the people, we love the space and we love the personal attention. If you want a local business who will connect with and care about you, come visit 181.Feel free to contact me if you have specific questions! But seriously, are you going to look back in January 2017 and wish you had started now?
