So the pandemic made me realize how important being healthy is, and learning more about how important resistance training is as we age and for women, I decided I needed to start…but how? I have always been active, but didn’t know about weights or how to start. My friend Lanie always talked about her gym, so asked her where she went, she told me CrossFit Humanity. What CrossFit? Ack! That’s for athletes…not people like me…but she convinced me to try a class, they offer a free class. So I went even though I was petrified…seriously…but I am so grateful I went, it was amazing, the coaches Stephanie and Seth were so nice and welcoming and super helpful. The members are all welcoming too. I knew I was hooked, so signed up. The best part is how the coaches work with you at where you are at, they scale everything for you, they are super knowledgeable and help you with form. Coach Craig always restores my faith in something when I am doubting myself. They also have the app to track your progress, and it’s thrilling to see how I am becoming stronger. I am so happy I didn’t let my fear stop me from trying CrossFit humanity, they have taught me to trust in the process, going on a regular basis and working with their coaches it’s impossible not to become stronger. As a woman it’s incredibly empowering to feel stronger. So don’t take my word for it, come try them out! You will not be disappointed.

I love the variety of movements with various equipment and learning how to incorporate a Barbell into some of the workouts. Like anything, Crossfit is what you make it, so whatever your level of fitness it does not matter. The coaches at Humanity are super knowledgeable at helping if modification or substitute movements are needed for a workout. Just getting a good workout is the goal and I love that I can tailor it to my needs. Humanity is also a wonderful community of people if you want to socialize as well:)

Coaches are top notch, lead by example, grind & work just like you in classes they aren’t coaching. “Do as I say not as I do” does NOT exist at this Box, a rarity nowadays. The Owners are the same. Everyone, EVERYONE is welcomed! Super diverse population all attempting to be their best selves through CrossFit. If you’re a first timer, stop looking, email the coaches & come on in. If you’re more seasoned & looking for good comp, more challenge, it’s here. If misery loves company is your thing & you just need that extra “support”, welcome aboard!

I really like coming to CF Humanity not only because the space is huge, clean, and organized; but also the coaches pay close attention to your form. Craig helped me work out the kinks in my clean and jerk, and now I feel waaaay more confident and have less pain with them. I will be back for sure!

I have been going to CrossFit Humanity since 2018. I love it for many reasons; yet I will not bore you with all of them. I will just bore you with two. These two traits sound trite and canned whenever reading a review about a gym. Yet, for Humanity, I can say, with 100% authenticity that these two traits separate this gym from every other in San Diego, California: Trait #1: This gym has the least d-bags per capita in San Diego, CA. The members are fantastic human beings, but even more importantly, the gym is owned by fantastic human beings, and the gym is managed by fantastic human beings. Trait #2: related to the first trait stands the second trait: this gym feels like family. It may not at first depending on how open you are, but if you seek connection, you will find all of it, plus more.

I was in San Diego for a few weeks and without the comfort of my home gym I knew I needed a CrossFit gym as a way to keep myself sane and burn some energy.From the moment I walked in, both the coaches and members were both welcoming and friendly. Even with preparation for the open workouts coming and messing with the flow of the programming I was always able to get in a good sweat session with the aide from a timely push by one of the coaches.Stephanie, Craig and Seth all made me feel welcome and should you be in need of a new box full time while in San Diego or just to drop in like I did I cannot recommend CrossFit Humanity highly enough. They always took the time to answer any questions I had to help me work on form for any movement I struggled with. My only regret was that I could not stay longer.Thanks coaches for helping me get a good workout in. :)

This is the cleanest CF box Ive ever been to. Dropped in while at a conference. Very easy to sign up. Super nice coaches (what did happen to my box?) And great clients made me feel right at home. Good programming. Thanks!

I dropped in when I was visiting town, and tried out a training. The place is quite spacious and well equipped. People were nice, the coach was well trained the training went smoothly. It was quite simmilar to what I experience anywhere else, still it is great to train in California, home of the sport.

Enthusiastic coaches who help you no matter what level you are. Nice facility with bars for shorter people so we dont have to jump 1000ft to do pull ups. Very welcoming, glad they emphasize warm up and stretching at the end, and have nice deal for AD military!! Thanks for letting me play!

I have been with CrossFit Humanity for 1 year, and this is the first gym I have ever been a member of. The coaches and staff have been nothing short of amazing, at 35 I can honestly say I’m in the best shape of my life. The coaches consistently tailor the workouts for people of all skill levels and are willing to help you with any deficiencies. The positive atmosphere from the staff and other members makes me look forward to the next class. From day one everyone has been extremely welcoming.

Love this gym! Such a warm welcoming group of people. You can tell a lot of thought goes into our workouts and all of the coaches are always happy to answer all of my many many questions i have. I have improved in so many areas because a coach encouraged me to do more. I would recommend this place to absolutely everyone. Plus they love my dog, like a lot.

Guys so first off I’ve been in the box for years. Since 2012 and still I’ll just need reminders and cues here and there on my lifts and Rodrick did that today while I dropped in while on vacation here. The workout and box are super legit and the members are super nice. Gave me brewery and restaurant recommendations. This box is super cool, chill and absolutely sends it. I’ll probably be coming back cause San Diego is a dreamm!

I had a great drop in while on Vacation in San Diego. My wife and I have 9 years of CF experience and coaching and were happy to see a community still doing the right things. Great space and equipment. The workout was fun and Coach Erick was attentive and engaged. Definitely returning when back in the area.

Dropped into a class before a flight. Great group of people.The instructor was extremely welcoming, and very knowledgable. He clearly had been coaching for many years. The best thing about this gym: Positive and competitive vibes, the perfect environment.The workout was programmed and clearly explained before the clock started. Ended up staying late after class and working on my rowing technique with another friendly coach. Highly recommend.

Recently dropped into Crossfit Humanity for a few days of fitness while on a business trip to San Diego. Was warmly welcomed and included as if I was a long-time member. Great (clean!) facilities, friendly atmosphere, and excellent coaching + programming. Would highly recommend to anyone, either visiting or looking for a full time fitness program. Thanks again!

We were visiting from Chicago and needed a place to workout! Reponse rate from the owner was very fast and informative! The coaches were welcoming and helpful. I personally loved the gym schedule: lots of classes to choose from and open gym hours available all day....which made it very convenient to workout while I was on vacation. I will be back if I am traveling to the San Diego area. Loved the gym!

I was visiting the area from out of town and came to CrossFit humanity to get a workout in and I was blown away! Such a neat organized gym with everything I needed and a ton of space to do it! If I lived around here this would forsure be the gym I go to! Hope to be back soon!

My wife and I dropped in for 3 days while we were in San Diego for a wedding . Kelsey greeted us on our first day, gave us a tour of the gym and even offered a few suggestions for where to go locally . She made an effort to get to know us even though we were only in town for a few days. The entire experience was welcoming and enjoyable . The vibe of the gym was friendly, clean and you can tell they take a lot of pride in this place . Their programming was also fun and challenging .I would highly recommend this place for anyone visiting or even thinking about joining Crossfit .

This is a great gym and great community! I was in San Diego for a week and dropped in here during my stay. Their website was super easy to navigate and I registered before my first visit. On the first day Kelsey the coach greeted me and gave me a quick tour. On the second day I met Hudson, another coach. Throughout the week both Kelsey and Hudson were super helpful and fantastic, other gym members were very friendly, and the WODs were fantastic! The gym space is huge! After a few visits I felt like a regular member. I definitely will check back in here the next time I am in San Diego.

I moved to San Diego in January, and joining CrossFit Humanity has been one of the best parts thus far. Coaches are not only super knowledgeable and helpful, but also friendly, approachable, and a lot of fun. They really take the time to learn about members on both a personal and fitness-related level, and provide positive and instructive feedback to foster development. Members have been great and friendly as well. Finally, I have really appreciated that the programming is balanced and well-planned, and there is a focus on form and functional movement to make the workouts welcoming and doable for all levels. All in all, I cant say enough good things, and Im very glad to have joined!

Whether you are looking to drop in or join as a member, Crossfit Humanity is a great spot. The members are incredibly welcoming and there are so many different types of classes to help you stay fit. Plus, the location is easy to get to and parking is never a concern - a major plus for a San Diego gym!

Review №42

I absolutely loved my time at Crossfit Humanity. (Recently moved to AZ) Ive been to a few gyms in the past and this one was by FAR my favorite. I am not a super social person, and can be really awkward, but everyone was really nice and friendly and I didnt feel like a complete outsider.I loved the coaching at this gym, I loved the programming, the cleanliness was impeccable and my favorite part was all the extras that were offered for no additional cost. I have been to and heard of so many gyms that charge a monthly rate, but then charge 10 dollars for yoga or 10 dollars for mobility, etc. etc. I loved that everything was available from gymnastics to open water swimming all included.If you want attentive coaches, tons of extras, a clean environment, and programming that doesnt feel like a coach threw a dart at a dartboard filled with workouts, GO HERE.

This is a great overall facility, love the layout and openness. Allows for great versatility for your workouts. As a personal trainer who doesnt usually workout in Crossfit gyms I would recommend this one. The dont just offer classes to kick your butt but also classes that will help increase flexibility, mobility and injury prevention.

Crossfit Humanity is more than just a box, its a community and a lifestyle. I attended for 2 years, moved away, and a huge part of my decision to move back to San Diego is just how much I miss my daily workouts here. The programming, the coaching, the size, and location are all amazing. Drop in, you wont be disappointed!!

Its hard to live in San Diego and not consider Cross-fit. My experience with Cross-fit Humanity has been nothing but the best. The staff, the coaches and everyone treats you like a family. As a newbie to cross-fit, I highly recommend checking out the On Ramp classes to ease you in to the normal classes. Coaches will take their time to make sure your ready and will even go out of their way to modify a work out for you! Yes Just for YOU. I look forward to many sessions at this fine establishment.

As a Crossfit newbie and person of mediocre fitness, I wasnt sure if Crossfit would be the right thing to get my lazy bum in shape, but youll have to trust me: regardless of who you are or what you do, youll find a supportive, smart, and fun crowd here.The coaches are knowledgable and help you to scale any movements you need (if youre a wimp like me). The other folks who work out here are motivating and fun. Parking is easy. And theres a gym dog who hangs around looking for attention, too! Come check it out, you wont be sorry!

Ive been at this gym for over three years now and cant speak any higher of the quality of not only the coaches, but the kinds of members this community attracts. This is a gym based on the idea that you can better yourself physically AND also mentally. Every single person is warm, welcoming and having a great time getting fit. I travel and drop into a lot of boxes, but none compare to my home gym: CFH. If youre in the area and not only want to walk into somewhere that you immediately feel like part of the fam but also want to experience great coaching, then youve found the right spot.

Im so glad I walked into this gym last week and got a week pass. I was in San Diego on business and found this place via a friend. I had never attended a crossfit class before, so it was all pretty new. The facility was fantastic. Very easy location, wide open warehouse, great equipment, nice layout.The coach (they all called him Irish...because he is) was super organized, and tremendously inspirational. He was able to work with everyone one on one throughout the class- really focused on form and technique. He really helped me so much in the 4 classes I took with him. They seem to have a good deal of programming there, ranging from yoga and aerial silks to gymnastics. I caught a yoga class as well and was very glad I did. Members at this gym are in great hands. The other members were very collegial and there was a great sense of pride and community here.One added bonus was Cara the gym dog, a boxer. She was extremely therapeutic while I was rolling out and stretching before class. I cant recommend this gym more. It was an awesome place to work out for the week, and an awesome introduction to the world of crossfit. I will definitely be back when I am in town.I would rank it 6 stars if I could.

Let me start this off by saying, I never and I mean NEVER, write a review on a business unless it’s terrible or amazing! Crossfit Humanity falls into the amazing category!This is not the first time I have partaken in Crossfit. With that being said if it was, Humanity would be the place I would absolutely want to get started at. As a veteran, and I use that term very loosely, this once again fills the billet of; the gym I would like to workout at.They have the best programs available for the members! They truly love to see the success of each and every person that walks through that door. If it’s Crossfit, powerlifting, gymnastics, running, or even mobility, there is a program/class and a coach willing to guide you to all your fitness goals.I have been a part of this box for one month now. I haven’t seen such a supportive community, in far longer than what I would like to admit. It feels like I have known the coaches and the members for months. They have been able to help me break 5 of my personal lifting records. At first I thought it was something in the air, but after the 3 record breaker, I realized that statement couldn’t have been any more false. Coach Alan helped my mobility, Coach Sal tweaked my form, all coaches and members cheered me on, and I just like that, I was crushing my records left and right!I have nothing but good things to say about Crossfit Humanity! If you challenge my words, feel free to go and see for yourself! One workout is all you need and you’ll be hooked. They were the first and only gym I went to when I arrived in the SD area. I couldn’t have more pleased with my decision. Oh and Phil, thanks for saving my life by warning me about that step!

It’s difficult to put into words what CrossFit Humanity has given to me.The coaches and staff at CrossFit Humanity are beyond phenomenal, all carefully hand-picked by the owner Phil K. Their enthusiasm and passion for helping others become better athletes and, more importantly, people in & out of the gym is nothing shy of remarkable.The members of CrossFit Humanity are a wonderfully diverse mix of people, ranging in experience, ability, and age. One common thread that all members seem to share is that they are all incredible people.I’ve been a member here for almost a year & am so thankful for making the leap that one Saturday to come in & try it out. Now, I can’t see myself working out anywhere else.This is not a gym; it’s a second home. Thank you to all the coaches, staff and fellow members for making this such a special place.

Review №75

When I first Walked into crossfit humanity, I saw a room full of positive, energetic people all working towards a common goal. Nobody was in outrageously good shape, or trying to one-up eachother from the across the gym. Just a positive place to let out steam. But I had no idea what I was getting myself into until I met the incredible staff and personable owner, Phil Kavanagh. Phil happily took me under is wing, offering his undivided knowledge on fitness, diet and overall wellness and happiness. And I can honestly say that having listened to his advice over the past two years that I am leaving crossfit humanity a much more rounded person than when I first walked through those doors. I now consider myself advanced in the areas of crossfit, power/ Olympic lifting, metabolic training, mobility, yoga, diet, balanced living, and stress release. If you want to make a genuine change in your life, stop by and talk to one of my good friends- Phil, Alan or Hannah. Youll be impressed by what they can do to help you get on the right track. To my friends at humanity- sad I have to relocate but I will remember every one of you. Ill drop in soon!

Review №76

When my best friend brought me into CrossFit Humanity I expected to try a high intensity weight-heavy workout I was sure I’d like. Once I joined, however, this community has taken a special place in my heart. Humanity encompasses a common thread of compassion, caring, and hard work. Its fabric are its people; and their fitness goals are as varied as their personalities! Everyone is quick to help a new member out and I love the commitment this community shows balancing work, family, and still giving it their all at the gym. I enjoy mixing up my workouts and Humanity provides the opportunity to get outside as well at the track, swimming in Coronado’s Glorietta Bay, and huffing and puffing up and down the San Diego convention center stairs. The coaches are knowledgeable, relatable, and always come from a place of warmth. Humanity is certainly a gym with HEART. If you want to lift, go to any CrossFit gym, if you want to feel a part of something larger, Humanity is where it’s at!
