Glide Training Co. — Local services in San Diego

I had the opportunity to work out with josh over the weekend while visiting my best friend in San Diego. I was stoked because I don’t like messing up my routine and was looking forward to a nice little sweat sesh. Josh and his gfs humble aboad also serves as their training facility and you instantly feel at home, especially with their two cute guard dogs watching you sweat. (Community and openness is my jam so it was a good feeling, esp being an out of towner)

As I started my circuit josh and I started talking some more and eventually found out we have more in common than my friend who brought me there... ex soccer players, terrible hip flexors and loads of past and current pain. He saw me struggle with some excercises that were right side dominant and tweaked my form, and made me do a few other work outs to really see how god awful my hip flexors are. We shared our past expeirences with visiting PT’s, chiros, etc etc.

He grabbed a small ball and wanted me to try out a few things and eventually went upstairs to grab his portable table and had me lay on it. He introduced me to active release therapy (ATR) and basically told me what he was about to was going to hurt like hell. I was so game. I was super interested because anything that he’d been through with hip flexor pain, I have and still am going through as well. It did hurt but in a good way. I immediately felt some release in tension on each side, and was really stoked he took the time to do this for me and to teach me.

I’ve always been a firm believer in finding someone you can trust in the gym, especially since we bonded as athletes first- I knew he was good. Regardless of your experience, athlete or not, or if you’re scared to start something, I fully support you giving Josh and his gf a try. They care, they’re fun, and they know their stuff. They have degrees to support the science behind it all, but they also have first hand experience which to me is very important.

Think about what you could gain by taking a group class, or a one on one session... I got all this in one hour...

Thank you again josh, you’re rad! I’ll...

My teenage son worked with Josh to improve his performance in High School Cross Country and Lacrosse. Josh was incredible with my son: He not only helped him work towards his fitness goals but taught him about proper nutrition and helped him improve his form to prevent injuries. Then I messed up my back and had a huge hiking trip on the horizon. Josh and Lisa worked with me to recover faster from my injury and get ready for the hiking trip. They were better than the Physical Therapy that I have been to many times before. After the successful trip, I kept coming back. It has been a year and I have never felt better, looked better or gone so long without hurting my back again. These guys are fun, patient, super nice, professional, and they know their stuff. They explain why you are doing the exercises and how to move for optimal gains. If you want to learn the names of the muscles, bones, tendons and ligaments, they will teach those to you as well as the mechanics of how everything works. My husband is now also working with Glide weekly....

This review is long overdue! Lisa and Josh are the best. I have worked out in so many cities, gyms and had various instructors/ trainers and they are the best I've known. I stumbled upon this local gym via ClassPass about a year and a half ago when I moved from San Francisco down to San Diego, and became hooked. These two know what they are doing. Not only will you gain strength and overall fitness, but mobility which will allow you to stay active without injury!

The classes are personal and small allowing for you to actually get instruction and personal encouragement. Honestly, all fitness levels and ages. It is small so the workout works/ adapted for everyone. The classes are all different allowing you to chose the type of workout you need. They mix it up and you never get bored. I've been a loyal member for a while and usually I bounce around between gyms. This one has it all.

I don't usually write reviews, but Glide is great and you NEED to go.

Ps: recently they added yoga and (I am not a yogi) but it's fun and...
