CrossFit Hillcrest Hillcrest Athletic Club, San Diego CA

Fun, chill place to workout.both coaches ive worked with so far have a lot of experience so are knowledgeable and helpful with adjustments if needed. I've been coming here for a couple months and watching the facilities and equipment constantly improve is awesome too.

Inclusive, GAY FRIENDLY, motivational, worthy, and so much more! I felt scared to come at first, and having not been to CrossFit in so long, it was intimidating. However, once we walked in, people introduced themselves and showed interest in us. They were immediately friendly and calmed my nerves. At first, I thought the guy who introduced himself was the coach. But come to find out everyone, even after, was friendly. Now it’s like a second home! I love it! Dez, Maggie, and of course Jordan make it all worth it! Love this gym!

Also, to the people who see the one star reviews, it’s new ownership and definitely WELCOMING!

Great space for CrossFit. Dez is a fantastic coach - really thoughtful about scaling options and correct movements

The people and coaching are great! I love working out here because I get a great workout with a great group of people.

2+ years later I'm still here and going strong. The community at Hillcrest Athletic Club is amazing. It’s my second home. The coaches have improved my technique and skills and I’ve made great friends at this box.

The staff at HAC has always been welcoming and friendly to athletes, families, dogs, and those walking in to learn more.

I have been a member at Hillcrest Athletic Club for about three years now and absolutely love this gym. The coaching staff is very knowledgeable and provides amazing workouts every day. The best thing about the gym is for sure the community that goes to HAC. You’ll not only get a killer workout you’ll meet great people along the way. I would 100% recommend checking out Hillcrest Athletic Club and join the community!

I am a San Diego native who lives in Florida. I’ve been doing CrossFit for about 5 years and dropped in at CrossFit Hillcrest during the week of Thanksgiving 2023. I couldn’t recommend it more to both out-of-towners and people who are looking for a new box. Everyone was extremely welcoming, the coaches knew what they were talking about, and the WODs were well structured. Check them out!

I have been going to CrossFit Hillcrest for 3 years and it was the best thing to happen to me after the birth of my sons. And it is extra special because I started bringing my boys here 1 year ago and they love it. I am so grateful to be able to stay healthy and share it with my family. And honestly the members here feel like family.

I went here because my doctor literally told me to make a serious change or I was going to die. I was terrified but motivated to change. It was literally the best decision I have ever made. I can’t believe I ever worried about starting. Now I will never stop. The trainers here are amazing. The community is so special and I am so grateful for them. I have tried a few other places while on vacation and nothing compares.

This CrossFit gym is in a class all by itself. I have been to quite a few gyms and I have never felt more welcome and supported. I know everyone thinks they go to the best gym in San Diego but this might be it. The owner Jordan is throwing most knowledgeable trainer I have ever met. I started bringing my wife here as well. I love to bowl and started having some shoulder issues and after 3 months here I am pain free. I always thought I was too old for CrossFit but this has changed my life and I will never go anywhere else.

CrossFit Hillcrest is the best gym in San Diego. The vibe is next to none. Everyone is super welcoming and the owner, Jordan, not only does he really know what he’s doing but his level of care is unmatched.

Do yourself a HUGE favor and come to the best gym in San Diego. That’s all there is to it.

In town visiting a friend for the weekend who brought me along for a workout. Super friendly and welcoming gym. This was my first time back in a gym after a head injury, and had a great experience. Dez was awesome. Would definitely come back on my next visit!

The trainers are awesome very welcoming and inclusive. Also very welcoming to LGBTQ+ members. Love this gym won't attend any other one A+

I started CrossFit an about 6 months ago and I was very nervous because I am 66 years old with some joint issues. I wish I had started sooner. It has been nothing short of incredible. I can move better than I have in a decade and I am seeing changes all of the time. I can do 3 pull ups. PULL UPS! This really is the best gym in San Diego. It might just be the best gym in the world. The trainers are amazing and the members are great too. I did not think I could get better. I came here just expecting to slow down the aging process but I feel like I have added years to my life. Don’t wait any longer to get started. Give this place a chance. You won’t regret it.

I started going here a couple months ago. Before that, I had zero “gym” experience with weights and stuff like that I just ran for exercise. Since basically everything was new for me it was definitely overwhelming but the instructors do a good job explaining stuff and scaling it to what I’m capable of doing. I like the variety of the workouts and I can tell I’m getting stronger already. I also like that there’s a nice variety of people-both personality and physical ability. The gym doesn’t have the stereotypical gym bro vibe, it’s very welcoming to all people and all physical abilities. I always walk out of the classes being glad I went

Hands down best gym in San Diego! Since joining just over a year ago, I can honestly say I've never been more fit. The coaches make you feel welcomed and are extremely helpful. They're always making sure I am lifting properly and getting the most out of my workout. The community is amazing, everyone is friendly and very supportive! I highly recommend this gym and joining!

I’ve been to a lot of gyms and have been training for a long. The coaching and vibe here is unparalleled - I friggin learn something new and laugh in every class. Not your normal group fitness; I love these folks.
