Liber8Fit Underground — Local services in San Diego

I have been training for 13+ years in a gym environment and Liber8 has been literally one of the best! The workouts are all class based (except on Fridays which is open gym but will still have workouts on the board if you want a structured routine) starting with a stretch, warm-up, then the actual workout followed by a cool down. The work outs kick my ass and leave me super sweaty (bring a towel) and with a smile every time. To be honest I was skeptical at first, coming from a lifting gym, I was not sure if it would be the right fit (I would typically spend 2 hours a session at my old gym) but boy was I wrong- within my first year I gained a whopping 6 pounds of muscles which was insane for me- and maintained a 9% body fat level.

This brings me to my next point which is, the trainers here ROCK and they know what they are doing. I have taken some advice and learned what I could about working out from friends and the internet but was definitely hitting a hard wall once I hit about my 8th year of training. Not only that, but I was riddled with injuries from working out improperly. The trainers here take a vested interest in your success and well being by making sure you are aware of the physical ques in the workouts. They are quick to jump on over and correct you when they see bad form as well as motivate and push you to your limits. I have had amazing gains and also noticeably less injuries which means I can work out even harder! WOOOOO

Finally one of the coolest things about this gym is the community. I have never made so many friends at a gym before and how everyone supports one another is beautiful. Times are trying and times are hard so community like this means the world to me!! So if you are local to the North Park/ Hillcrest area come and check us out!!

Huge shout out to the owner Angela for cultivating such a wonderful space and huge shout out to all the trainers! Especially Trainer Cait and...

Libert8Fit is my favorite gym! I’ve never known a place to have both circuit training and yoga in the same work out. And I never knew how much I needed yoga until I started working out here!

Trainers Alyssa and Angela are so friendly and welcoming. I no longer dread going to the gym, because I know Alyssa and Angela will be there to encourage and support me with my fitness goals.

The circuit training by trainer Alyssa is awesome! Each month she has a different routine, that way we aren’t working out the same muscle groups every week. Last month we alternated between metabolic conditioning and strength training. A few months ago, the work outs were split into cardio days and strength training days. It doesn’t matter what the work out is, I always end circuit training feeling exhausted (in the best way possible).

What’s nice about the hybrid classes (circuit training + yoga) is that after circuit training, I don’t just walk to my car feeling ready to pass out from the exercise. Instead, we go right into yoga with trainer Angela, where we stretch out our muscles and focus on our breathing. Because of yoga, my muscles are not as sore or tight after strength training days. I absolutely love the yoga because it relaxes me but also pushes me and my flexibility. (Just the other day, I did my first headstand!)

Overall, Liber8Fit is one heck of a gym! The workouts are great, but what really makes this gym so special is the community. I always feel so welcomed and everyone is so...

Joined for just a month to see what it was all about and I got hooked. In the last 5 weeks I’ve lost 8lbs of fat, gained 2lbs of muscle, lost inches in my waist and I FEEL AMAZING. If you’ve never tried HIIT (high intensity interval training), this is the place to check it out.

Angela and Alyssa make you feel like you’re really a part of the L8F family... body positive and encouraging with people of all shapes/sizes/fitness levels/ages and best of all its challenging! They know how to push you to your limit and perfectly modify exercises based on your limitations.

What to expect!!! They start promptly, so make sure you get to class 5-10 minutes early. There is plenty of street parking nearby, but just be careful not to park in a tow-away spot. Their website has all the pricing, and they usually have a newbie deal of $20 for two weeks. I promise you... YOU WILL SEE RESULTS. Alyssa’s workouts are intense HIIT style circuits that will leave you in a sweaty mess and feeling like you literally just conquered the world. Angela offers a few different styles of yoga... Prana flow, HIIT yoga, and Yin. I’ve never felt more fit and in tune with my mental space. The combination is a perfect blend of muscle stressing and replenishing.

Essentials - Don’t forget your yoga mat, water bottle, sneakers, and a towel (you’ll definitely want...
