Welcome to CrossFit Chula Vista training center.We are a CrossFit affiliate serving all of Chula Vista,Eastlake & Otay Ranch area.
Our mission is to provide a ground based-no machines-elite performance program,encompassing the CrossFit methods.
CrossFit Chula Vista prides itself in delivering world class coaching. We differ ourselves from other run of the mill “globo-gym’s” or “health spas,” by committing ourselves to excel in all aspects of our coaching. Our members are not just clients or customers, they are a part of a team committed to helping one another achieve his/her goals. Everyone that is on the CrossFit Chula Vista team has a coach or a workout partner/s to get them through some of the most rigorous of workouts. You are not left to fend for yourself like in other commercial gym settings. Whether you are training for a sport, conditioning for your job, or looking to improve in your general physical preparedness, you will find that CrossFit is the most efficient, effective, safe, challenging, fun, and rewarding workout regimen you will ever come across.
However, all need not apply… Notice that we did not mention that it was easy! Train hard and get results. Nothing in life is easy and losing that muffin top as you may know is no walk in the park as other fitness facilities promise. The reality is that drive, determination, and discipline go a long way, and that is the common denominator among our fittest and most fabulous CrossFit athletes around the world. If you are ready for the challenge and you are tired of the silly BS that is out there,and waisting your time at (ie. 24, LA,), you know what to do. 3,2,1 GO!
Being prepared for the unknown and the unknowable.
It is a doctrine of war not to assume the enemy will not come, But rather to rely on one's readiness to meet him: Not to presume that he will not attack, But rather to make one's self-invincible.

Over the past year, realizing the benefits of CrossFit for firefighters I have been involved with the CrossFit style training program of our Fire Academy Recruits. I have my CrossFit Level 1 Certificate, CrossFit Olympic Lift Certification, CrossFit Endurance Certificate, and CrossFit Nutrition Certification . Besides my firefighter training, I have a fitness and training background that includes a BS in Biomechanics/Athletic Training, I am a former Physical Therapy Assistant, Certified Athletic Trainer (NATA), Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist (NSCA), Personal Trainer (ACE), and Peer Fitness Trainer (ACE). With all this training and experience in fitness, training and exercise, it is CrossFit that has created the greatest change in my fitness levels and provides exactly what we ALL need to get and stay fit for life.
