Performance360 | Strength & Conditioning Gym — Attraction in San Diego

I’ve been a member of P360 for a few years now. This was the first gym I’ve been to where everything really clicked. Not only did I get good coaching to help me achieve my fitness goals, but the coaches taught me why I was doing the different exercises, how each exercise was helping me and gave me options to adjust the programming to hit my specific goals.

And it works. I could see the tangible results in the way I looked, the way I felt and differences in my body in doing everyday tasks. Just to make sure you are progressing, the coaches provide numerous testing opportunities – to track and monitor your improvement. So I could see my actual gains in various lifts, I could see my speed increase or the increases in my vertical jump. On top of that, the coaches make it really easy to succeed. Don’t get me wrong – the workouts are hard and exhausting. But if you follow the programming, you will see results. As somebody a few months away from turning 40, I really believe this gym has allowed me to continue to be really active – whether it’s hiking, mountain biking or playing competitive soccer with people half my age.

Needles to say, when everything closed down due to COVID, I was really wondering where I’d be able to get my exercise. We all know there are a ton of benefits to exercise. For me, I wanted to continue to push myself physically. Plus, exercise has always been a major outlet for stress for me too. I immediately looked for replacements to my trips to the gym. Thankfully, the coaches at P360 really stepped up with their grassroots program. With their grassroots program, I get a new workout every day. I get the same benefits from the great coaching, programming, interaction with coaches but I get to do it all from home.

Every workout is accompanied by an actual coach explaining the workout and giving pointers on how to make it most effective. There are videos showing every exercise so I can make sure I am doing everything correctly to maximize the results. If I still have questions, the coaches are always available to answer questions. The grassroots program takes everything that makes this gym and these coaches so great and puts it in an App. Unlike a lot of other online platforms, the coaches are active on the platform and interacting with us – answering questions, providing encouragement and keeping us moving forward.

The workouts are flexible based on what you have (weights, bands or nothing) and provide progression options to make sure you’re not over or underwhelmed. I’ve been doing this program for many months now and am still pleasantly surprised how hard the workouts can be. More importantly, I feel like I’m still progressing in terms of strength and my fitness - and there’s enough variety to keep it interesting and keep me looking forward to the next workout.

Due to my job, I’m being a lot more cautious in my daily activity and will probably be one of the last ones back in the gym. With Grassroots, I’m able to keep improving myself on a daily basis. The best part is this workout follows me wherever I go. I started doing this in our condo in PB (with my neighbors watching me do burpees). Late last year, my wife and I – since we’re both working from home at the moment - decided to spend a few months in Colorado. Thanks to grassroots, I’ve been able to keep up with the gym and the program from here. When the world is back to normal again (as much as that’s possible) and I can go to the gym again, I feel like I’ll be able to pick up...

I remember it like a horror movie. It was April 2014, I was roughly 40 pounds overweight, which is obese according to Kaiser Permanente, single, desperate, watching soap operas and midget porn on repeat. My “friends” wouldn’t talk to me. People would point, laugh, and pass judgment. Girls would say “Free Willy!” to me. At first I thought they were really into seeing my you know what, but it turns out Willy is a whale in a stupid movie. When walking through farmers markets, I would often hear vendors scream, “SAMPLES OVER HERE!” because they were certain that I’d buy their food. Finally, when I was told I couldn’t go sky diving because I was just over the weight limit, I decided I needed to change my ”weighs” (see what I did there??).

My colleagues tried getting me to join their gym -- of course they would receive a discount on the following months dues, never mind the fact that I was heavy and gross. I finally caved and agreed to attend a free class. I went. At first, I thought I was going to die. I cried, puked, laughed, cried again, BUT decided to sign up for a month. I was extremely nervous leading up to it thinking I’d be judged or ridiculed. After all, I hadn’t really worked out since college (5 years earlier). You can imagine the relief I felt when I showed up and the coach was extremely welcoming and there were people of all athletic abilities. Did I finish last place in the circuit the first couple of weeks I went? Yup. Did it stop me from feeling welcome and thoroughly enjoying the work outs? Absolutely not.

It is now December 2015 and I am still going to the gym. When girls on Tinder ask me what I like to do for fun, I’m now one of those tools who reply, “go to the gym.” My weight, physique, attitude, and confidence have completely transformed. I made it a choice to go to the gym from the beginning, but it's the coaches, members, and the workouts that keep me going back. If I could give P360 six stars, I would possibly strongly consider it.

p.s. I'm currently 30 lbs lighter than I was and have a lot more muscle then I did when I started the gym. I'm still single watching soap operas, but not...

Long time member, first time reviewer. P360 has helped me in so many ways. Short story - if you need motivation and want to see results, go here. With P-360, you pay for what you get and you get what you put into it. Once I took it seriously, I dropped at least two inches off my waist I didn't know would happen and about 5 lbs of fat.

Now for the long story...

I used to be the typical gym goer at one of the mass gyms... paying $20 a month, kind of 1/2-a*ssing my workouts for an hour or two. Run a little curls, use machines, whatever. I wasn't fat, but I wasn't in shape.

Also... I'm not a gym guy. I'd rather skate and play volleyball than go to the gym. I dislike lifting anything and wasn't sure I'd like group workouts. I'd rather play sports. I have a hectic schedule with my job and thought I needed a gym open at all hours... I was wrong. Turns out I am a gym guy, as least as far as this place is concerned.

I eased my way into it with one of their twice a week programs and immediately saw results from P-360, so after a few months, I stepped it up.

Kettlebells, barbells, hybrid cardio workouts... this place offers it all in compact, roughly 45-60 minute sessions. 90 percent of the time I leave dripping in sweat and feeling great when I get home. The times I don't... it's my fault.

Everyone there, from the coaches to the members, is super friendly. It's easy to think you'll be intimidated because you've never done a hang clean or renegade row, but you'll get over that. They'll show you how to do the movements the right way and the safe way.

And while most of the members are in shape, trust me, not all of them looked like that six months ago. Some have always been true athletes, but many I've seen cut fat and gain muscle right before my eyes.

There's no pressure to do things you're uncomfortable with, but there is tons of...
