I have been coming to 181 Fitness for a little less than a month on the recommendation of a friend, and I have to say, I'm very impressed with the program. The family atmosphere is very welcoming and motivational. I've already lost weight! Highly recommended. Go check them out!

What can I say? I've been working out here for 3 weeks now and I love it! I have Fybromyalgia and and in the worst shape I've ever been in. The owner of the gym as well as all the staff are aware of my issue and check in on me when I am there to make sure I'm doing okay. I even got a couple calls from one of the trainers, just checking in after I worked out to see how I was feeling. When was the last time you talked to or even saw the owner of the gym you work out in?It's not just another gym, its a family. It's a No Judgement Zone! There are people here that are crazy fit and there are beginners like me. Everyone helps each other and encourages one another. The trainers are very knowledgable and so friendly and approachable.There are no silly or dumb questions…they are here to help and They Want To Help!I say if you are looking for a new gym, just stop by and talk to them. try a few classes and I bet you will see what I see…a great place To Get Healthy and In Shape!

Absolutely LOVE 181 Fitness. My husband and I joined in January 2015 and enjoy the personal attention/training, as well as the community that we have been welcomed into. It is exactly what we were looking for!

This is not a cross fit gym. Dont need any injuries doing those lifts. 181 Fitness is most definitely one of a kind just like myself. 181 Fitness has the best support system in place to make sure you obtain your goals and then some.

181 Fitness is the best personal training studio in town! Not only is Cody and his team super professional and friendly, they deliver RESULTS like no body else. If you are in the Vista California area and looking to lose weight, lose fat, get fit, get stronger, do yourself a favor and give them a call.

My entire life has changed joining 181 Fitness and training with Cody and his team. Not only is my body stronger but so is my mind and soul. With Cody's degree in Psychology he and his team not only help you become stronger physically, but they help you strengthen your mindset. Allowing you to reach and surpass goals you never thought possible. I now understand the connection between health and happiness and I owe that to the entire family at 181 Fitness. The staff and trainers at 181 Fitness are professional, punctual and go above and beyond to make sure you are receiving the best service possible. I can honestly say I love each and every one of the trainers at 181 Fitness.- Michelle B., Vista CA

This gym is really like a life and fitness community. Cody, Anthony and Gabriel give their all to motivate, train and support each and every member. I guarantee "big box" gyms will never give you this type of cutting-edge training, nutritional guidance, personal attention and fun! There are classes to meet all types of fitness goals with times from 5:30 a.m. to 7:30 all week long! I know a lot of our members say 181 changed their lives and that we are a big family. I am another who will confirm that is true.

I first heard of this gym through my neighbor, who has been working out here for a few months now. She could not stop raving about it, so I thought I would give it a try. They are a small gym located in Vista, CA, but their trainers, equipment and personalized plans are fabulous! I was lucky enough to meet the owner, Cody Bishop and experience the gym myself. They offer private, semi-private and group workouts. I experienced the semi-private workouts, which had three people to one trainer. But, it felt like I was with private instruction because each trainer will take the time with the individual to demonstrate and perfect posture. I noticed a difference after just a few days! I would highly recommend 181 Fitness!

181 has become my home away from home! I started back in August 2014 for what I thought was going to be a 21 day program, however I loved it so much I quickly became a member. This place is like no gym I have ever been to, the level of care and guidance we receive is amazing. The trainers and staff truly care about you and your goals and will do everything they can to help you succeed. I have made some wonderful new friends who along with the staff motivate you in such a positive way. It may sound cheesy but we really are like a family!!

I had never worked out at a gym before I joined 181 Fitness. The trainers are great and so good with newbies like me. They push me while making sure I have good form while doing the exercises. And it's fun! I really look forward to going!I found that working out here has really built my confidence in life. It helps me realize I am capable of so much more than I thought.The well designed workouts also help with my running by helping me increase my stamina, build my strength, and strengthen my core.Thanks to Cody, Gabriel, Tony, Jessie and the rest of the 181 staff. It's a really friendly and knowledgeable group of people and I highly recommend them
