I joined Gut Check just to get back into shape in my 40s but what I gained was so much more. I joined a whole community of like-minded individuals that enjoyed working out hard. It gave me an appreciation for the outdoors, exploring trails and canyons that I never knew existed. It made me feel unstoppable. Five years later I still love getting that burn in my lungs from pushing myself to the limit. I was out of town traveling for work and I tried Orange Theory for a while. You get a decent workout at Orange Theory but it really doesnt compare to Gut Check. At the end of your workout, you havent gone anywhere. Youre still in the gym!! At a Gut Check class, you might run 3 miles in the canyons and get to enjoy the natural beauty and the fresh air... Aaaaah the fresh air... People dont talk to each other at Orange Theory either. there is really no social aspect. When I tried talking to other people or give someone an attaboy, they looked at me like I was psycho. At Gut Check I love how everyone is motivating each other and cracking jokes at the same time. Its entertaining and helps get you through a tough workout. Gut Check gives you that competitive push that you just dont get anywhere else.

Gut Check is an empowering addiction. They take advantage of San Diegos beauty and bring together a community of some kick a** people. I am a female in my mid 20s and have been with Gut Check for 2 years. Ive EXCEEDED my personal fitness goals and have the best time doing it! LOVE Gut Check Fitness.

Getting fit is about leading a life of full potential. The world class trainers at Gut Check Fitness will take you to the next level of fitness. All you have to do is show up, and they will help you do the rest.The classes are challenging without a doubt. Yet they are fun and you are surrounded by like minded people. Your classmates and trainers soon become your friends. Every week something fun is happening at Gut Check. Beach runs, running the canyon at the glider-port, fitness classes and social outings, to name a few.At 58 years old, I can still run a sub seven minute mile. I am extremely strong and ready for any activity! My adult kids will ask do you want to play some football, basketball, go for a run? My answer...yes lets do it! Next month, I am checking off a bucket list item and am off to go helicopter skiing! My fitness level allows me to keep enjoying life at the highest level!Thanks Joe Decker and team! I absolutely would not have gotten in the best shape of my life....without you!

Gut Check Fitness is the best workout in town. Joe, Nicole and their team of fabulous trainers inspire each member to go just beyond their limits and get results regardless of where your current fitness and body shape is at. After nearly 10 years its been a great experience to workout outdoors with challenging trainers and meet interesting people from all walks of life.

Gut Check is awesome! I have been working out with this group for over 9 years. It’s not easy, but very fulfilling. You definitely will get in shape and get some “buns of steel”. The friendships are lasting, and you will be part of a crazy, and fit family.

I LOVE GUTCHECK!!! The beauty of training with Gutcheck is that you get to do it with wonderful trainers Joe and Nicole are a handful of inspiration and motivation!!! The tribe and/or the amazing group of people we train with are very fun, and there is always someone at your level of fitness; And last but not least you do it outdoors!!! We get to run, lift rocks, jump on the grass, breathe the clean air, explore trails, run on the beach!!! You are never left behind and you are always pushed to be a better version of yourself!

Training with Gut Check for the last two years has gotten me in the best shape of my life! I completed my first tri-athalon last year and plan to do more in the future. Joe Decker and the rest of the instructors always push me with challenging workouts. This training will prepare you for everything from spartan races to ultra marathons, all the while experiencing the best canyon runs, trails, and beaches that San Diego has to offer. Did I mention Thursday night Happy trails/Happy Hour? Great training, exploring the outdoors , and of course the friends you’ll make along the way. Can’t beat that!!!

Gut Check is an excellent workout. You are outside breathing fresh air and being challenged by Joe and his team. No muscle is forgotten when you attend a Gut Check class. Highly Recommend!

Always a high quality workout with a great group of people that push each other to go a little faster and a little further, but dont take themselves too seriously.

This is the most amazing group of humans dedicated to improving your physical and mental fitness! Im looking forward to the next round of gut check in 2019.
