S10 Fitness Review

S10 Fitness is a great place to work out. The entire team there is very friendly, outgoing, funny and passionate about what they do. The equipment they have is different from every other gym, which helps me to learn different types of exercises and they know what they are doing. I personal train with Amy and she teaches me something new every time we train. I love going there and being around trainers that love what they do and have fun while doing it.
I would recommend S10 Fitness to anyone who is looking for personal training, it is a great facility.

S10 fitness is the greatest gym and all around wellness center staffed by the most wonderful, good souled people. Do yourself, your body, your mind, and your spirit the favor and stop by and check it out!

I have trained at S10 first with Gustav and later with Chris. I used to hate exercising now I look forward to our sessions. The trainers are knowledgeable, accessible and most of all supportive. I'm definitely stronger and showing definition. My back pain has vanished. I can't recommend these guys enough.

Great place and even better people. From power lifting to rehabilitation, a perfect place to meet your goals

This place is a dream. I went in to see James for some re-occurring hamstring injuries. He was incredibly knowledgeable and helped me break down my injury and the habits I was building to prolong it! Besides the amazing trainers it s a workout Heaven with all the equipment you need to hit each body part!!

Although I no longer live in SD, there is still no one I trust more with my fitness & health than Chris, Dave, & their entire team. They all truly pushed me to my limit... increasing my goals and always willing to help. My fitness goals were not only obtained but surpassed during my time at S10! Still to this day I am able to retrieve fitness advice, nutrition counseling, and a good laugh from the crew at S10!

I started going to S10 shortly after I moved to San Diego in 2012. One of the few places in San Diego that can cater to any and all of your personal training needs. Their knowledge is only matched by their genuine attitude to want to help people and their ability to make any and everyone feel welcome in their establishment.

Amazing group of trainers, but especially enjoyed working with Chris on modifying my workouts to account for specific injuries. The facility is well stocked with anything needed and super easy to get to.

I love this place because the trainers are always up to date and prepared. The gym is large and spacious and equipped for every need. Whatever physical problem you have if you knock on that door to try them when you leave you will have solved it. 100% guarantee

I have never worked with a more comprehensive and well-rounded group of trainers. Whether you are looking for weight loss, general fitness, powerlifting, strongman, or are looking to increase efficiency at certain movement patterns, we will gladly welcome the opportunity to work with you to achieve the goals you have set. We are a fitness training facility that has grown to become like a family and would be honored to welcome yours.

Had a training session with James to get me back into the swing of training. We took it back to basics, which for any prideful active individual can be frustrating at times. However, the knowledge and understanding that James has made it clear the little muscles need love too. If you want that valuable one on one time with a trainer James is your guy and the S10 facility has everything you need to get creative with your work out. Like minded individuals there for the greater cause and there to do the job.

Amazing team, amazing results. I can't say enough about S10 fitness. Whatever your goals, this gym and team of trainers are for you. Great, low key vibe, incredibly knowledgable staff who are super approachable and a personalized fitness program based upon YOU. The minute you walk in the door, you'll feel comfortable and confident - regardless of your fitness level. You'll never do the same exercise twice - and their approach combines several incredibly effective and innovative disciplines. They've helped me come back from recent and long-term injuries, rebuild my health and fitness from the ground up, and develop an entirely new appreciation for holistic exercise. My pain is gone, I feel great, and I've never been stronger - and bonus! I'm looking better than ever. Thank you Chris and the entire S10 team - no matter who you choose to work with, you'll undoubtedly be thrilled with the results.

I have used the trainers at S10 Fitness for everything from injury rehab to overall wellness and strength development. Dave, Chris and the staff of trainers are always willing to personalize what is important to each particular client. I highly recommend S10 fitness to anyone wanting to improve their health and fitness wellbeing.

I've got nothing but great things to say about the personal trainers at S10 Fitness. They know what they're doing with expertise on weight loss, corrective exercise, weight training and more. If you're looking for a personal trainer in San Diego, check out S10.

I've worked with the crew from S10 Fitness for roughly 10 years. Working with Chris and Dave got me through injuries and helped build both my fitness level and my knowledge to points they had never been before. Their passion is infectious, and their expertise is unbeatable. Can't say enough about the team at S10.

It is amazing fun and they know everything about your body and they are very nice people.

S10 is, hands down, the best training gym I ve ever been to. The trainer I worked with, Len, is exceptional. I was struggling with an odd rotator cuff injury that didn t respond to traditional physical therapy fixes - after 6-9 months of waiting for it to get better and hating my boring rehab workouts, I went to Len. He targeted my problem in about 10 minutes, created a personalized routine for me, and I was back to enjoying workouts again in no time. I m stronger now than before I got hurt and he taught me stuff about form that years of casual lifting had never explained. He also figured out what UCSD Sports Med couldn t, so there s that - and I m a doc at UCSD! Always a super friendly, cool guy to work with and everyone I encountered at this gym is a boss but isn t the least bit arrogant - all levels seem genuinely welcome. Cannot recommend highly enough and I ll be going back for new workouts as often as I can. Thanks, Len!

I started going to S10 Fitness and working with Chris when I was having knee pain a little over a year ago, but he truly saved my life when I injured my back while lifting about nine months ago. I could barely put a sock on by myself, let alone bend over without having the worst pain in my lower back.

I started seeing Chris at least once a week, sometimes more if my back would fire up. I would cry almost everyday from pain not being able to move the way that a 28 year old should move. Chris was so kind and understanding, and he always made me laugh when I was having the hardest time moving. I ve been lifting for 5 years, but Chris showed and taught me so many new ways to properly mobilize and activate muscles the correct way. I had to relearn how to move and lift correctly. He always gave me drills every week to take home and do. It s been such a long process, but every step has been worth it. I went from crawling on his gym floor, to coming back and moving weights that I thought I was never going to be able to touch again. I wouldn t be where I am if it wasn t for everything that Chris has shown and taught me.

Everyone at S10 Fitness is kind and they KNOW what they re talking about, especially with anatomy and restorative exercise. S10 Fitness is the place to go to get back on your feet when you don t know how to fix what s wrong with your body.

The trainers here are adamant about getting you to a new level. I trained with James, and could not have been more pleased with the experience. A year ago I did some serious damage on my shoulder, so we focused not on building muscle or losing weight, but on strengthening, stabilizing, and mobilizing the joint. From unlocking small muscles to firing the bigger ones, James didn't skip anything. So the training is superb... but also, the facility rocks! Definitely not your average gym, at least not what I'm used to. You can have some serious fun training here. I definitely recommend it.

Found this place as a referal from a friend. I do Strongman training and I was in need of a new coach. That's where I met Chris. He's a very deliberate and tactical teacher when it comes to getting stronger. He looks at every detail in order to help you do your best.

This place has A LOT of variety to offer clients. It is a private session setting so you will get one on one service which is great. Dave is a very nice guy as well and gives the same attention to detail. Personally, I'd like to see some more stones, kegs and tires. But that's just me =P

Whether you are looking for a place to get fit, get strong or rehab s10 is the spot. Knowledgeable like minded individuals such as Chris will help you with pain free PR's or getting the bikini body you want for summer. Chris has helped me work through some technical issues and I am now stronger and pain free. I highly recommend s10 to anyone who has a goal and could use a hand getting there.

Hands down the best personal training/corrective exercise facility in San Diego! This place is really something special! Everyone here is like a second family from the second that you walk through the door. S10 Fitness is the facility to train at if you want to make real changes to your life! The amount of specialty equipment alone makes this place unbeatable. Need to regain mobility or rehab? Come to S10 Fitness. Want to compete in Power lifting? Strongman? Bodybuilding or Physique shows? Come to S10 Fitness, where the trainers have actually completed in every type of competition you could want to train for! Or maybe you just need a general kick in the butt and a few laughs. No matter what your goal is, S10 Fitness will exceed your expectations 110%! Everyone who works here are constantly striving to gain more knowledge and remain the best personal trainers and corrective exercise specialists in San Diego!

I can t imagine a more well skilled and educated staff. Exceptional degree of neurology knowledge, high level pain management combined with quality strength training. Id send a teen, my grandmother, any injury here to train along side professional athletes. I was just here for a PRRT course and Chris and Dave break the mold. Just really passionate high quality people in a genuine learning environment.

Infectious Enthusiasm!! It is one big family and a place I always felt like I belonged! Individualized training and compassion is the core of their philosophy!

Working out with the S10 Fitness Crew is always a great time. They've got the knowledge and equipment to help anyone achieve their goals.

Chris is very knowledgable with rehab and corrective movements. My shoulders and hips imbalance (from squatting and benching)have gotten tremendously better after seeing him once.

Highly knowledgeable, very flexible. Was looking for a short term personal trainer to work on a specific skill set. Right away I was impressed with Ben's plan for me, I learned a lot of technique and form from him in just three weeks.Above and beyond what I originally asked for, looking forward to working with him again in the future, thanks a lot!

I came in to fix some issues I had with my Squat technique...what I thought was going to be something unfixable, Coach Chris was able to diagnose the problem in minutes with a few tests and have me on my way to more confidence in the Squat rack...could not recommend more highly. Thanks, Chris!!!

S10 Fitness is the best gym in San Diego. Whether your goals include: injury rehabilitation, power lifting, weight loss, nutrition, preparing for a competition, or just a new/fun place to workout....this is the gym for you. I am the Athletic Director at Point Loma High School and a former D1 athlete myself. I refer ALL of my student athletes to S10 Fitness for their off-season training as it is the only gym with trainers who I trust completely. Dave and Chris have been volunteering their time at the school and in the community for years. They genuinely treat each of their clients like family and continuously do everything in their power to better themselves and their business.
S10 Fitness is truly one of those places where everyone feels at home, everyone feels valued, and everyone can find success.

In a word : Amazing. Amazing results, amazing relationship, amazing motivation and life long fitness learning and growing.

I have had Sten in my life for 10 years. His fitness plans are formed in a way that takes into account each client's unique strengths and innate abilities. Each plan is different. You are truly inspired to carry out your plan because it was structured around what you are already good at.

You only get one body, you better take care of it.

Sten's experience, character and attitude make all the difference in the success of not only fitness but overall wellness and health! He is unparalleled.

Sten isn't just standing by counting your reps (in his fabulously fired up way)....he is walking beside you on a lifelong health journey. He deeply cares for each and every person that crosses his doorstep. He wants you to succeed and to share his expertise to get you there.

Muscle building, weight loss and body contouring, strength, flexibility, injury prevention and treatment ... he can do it all and do it well. He has done each for me.

He's not just a muscular dude who may grunt while lifting (I don't know).... he's a health and fitness expert with great compassion, solid character and a true desire to see others succeed.

I simply would not go anywhere else to train my body, my heart, my mind. I have learned so much from him. His plans are thorough and realistic while also challenging.... every client wants to rise to the challenge and push the goal further. Sten will meet you there! Sten will get you there !!

I first starting going to S10 Fitness in late 2012 when my friend told me about two guys who had started a well-equipped (meaning full of various barbells, Olympic lifting mats, machines, and even the mystical strongman equipment). I started going on open-gym Saturdays and fell in love with S10 Fitness, gaining many lifelong friends in the process. Chris and Dave (and now Travis, Amy, Kait, Ben, Bob, and many others) are not doing this merely as a "job," they are doing this because they absolutely love training people to be their physical best, and they are damn good at it (while constantly learning and adapting the latest methodologies and research). They are highly approachable and amiable (as well as being some seriously top-tier conversationalists) while still delivering top-notch results to clients of all backgrounds, ages, training capabilities, etc. They know fitness from the bottom to the top and from the "windows to the walls" (I had to, please forgive me :)). Anyone in need of personal training (or injury rehab, or nutritional coaching, or anything related to physical health and performance) should look no further than S10 Fitness.

I recently started getting serious about my triathlon training. I found what I was looking for working with Dave, Chris and Jazelyn. Not the run of the mil trainers, these people know their stuff. They will look at everything from the way you walk, stand and lift and how EVERYTHING is connected. I am a better athlete now then when I walked in the door. If you re serious about your training these are your people.

This place is fabulous! The trainers and environment are so warm and friendly. This is the place to meet your goals and also make some lasting relationships!

There is simply not enough time in the day to write about how wonderful this place is! I have been a frequenter of S10 Fitness since its opening several years ago and it has only gotten better with time. Going to a new gym can be somewhat intimidating as you feel the pressure to live up to the other individuals but walking in here is like a home, everyone is welcoming regardless of your size or athletic ability.

I have had the opportunity to work with both Chris and Dave and they are AMAZING. I am an avid gym goer and tend to get stuck in the same routine, Chris always has new exercises for me to try to target the muscles that I am trying to grow. Additionally, they constantly help my body stay in balance. If something is hurting, they know exactly how to fix it so that I can be back in the gym the next day.

It is SO refreshing to come across individuals who are truly passionate about their work and every trainer at S10 is just this. Whether you have aches or pains, want to get stronger, or want to lose weight, or need some entertainment in your life, you cannot go wrong with this crew!

I workout 3 days aweek and kael my trainer. Shes the bomb. I went from 245lbs to 174lbs. The whole staff are very helpful, knowledgeable. I would advise anyone to check it out .

I have been training, rehabbing and prepping for National level competitions with S10 Fitness since I have moved to San Diego. The S10 Fitness team are knowledgable, sincere and professional. The gym is also the best equipped gym in the area.

Chris has been nothing but a big help in my recovery from past imbalances and injuries. The staff are friendly and helpful and likely able to figure out how to make things functionally sound again. Highly recommend for regular maintenance and for recovery and efficiency.

Life changing! I worked with Dave and Chris to correct some back issues. Every time I came in, they worked with me to correct my gait and I walked out feeling more knowledgeable and better each time. If you have a recurring sports injury, there is no excuse. These guys are not just personal trainers. This is their life and they are good at what they do.

Friendly and knowledgeable staff. Welcoming environment

These trainers are amazing and truly are the best personal fitness and rehabilitation trainers in San Diego. I cannot say enough great things about their wealth of knowledge and their love of what they do. I have worked with S10 for a number of years on several areas including injury rehabilitation, mobility, weight lifting, core and strength training, nutrition, boot camps, etc.. Not only do these trainers have a great deal of knowledge, they impart that knowledge do their clients to ensure we understand and can continue working outside of the gym. S10 is a great great environment for every level of training need, Highly recommended.

Came in to see Chris to help with some nagging shoulder and hip issues. Iv heard wonderful things about his healing powers through friends so I made an appointment. I left feeling great and with a personalized program to start fixing my imbalances. He is a wealth of knowledge and taught me so much just in a Hour. He was able to pin point my issues just by watching me walk. Iv seen other pt s who gave me a text book list of correctional exercises that was very overwhelming. He was able to sum it up in just a few exercises that I could easily work into my fitness program without making me overthink everything. I love how he explained everything and generally wants you to get better and not have to be dependent on seeing a Pt all the time. Go see him, he s the man!

I've been a client at S10 for a few years now and I have to say, best trainers ever. I've always had a personal trainer most of my workout career and the guys at S10 are the best by far, especially Travis Benner. Their professionalism and expertise is beyond compare. The atmosphere is always fun and yet the workouts are serious! I'd recommend this gym to anyone and I have.

Collective knowledge of trainers at S10 is second to none. They have a variety of equipment from standard plate stack machines to strongman apparatus that makes training fun and different every visit. Strongly recommend looking here if you're interested in private personal training.

I am so grateful to be apart of the S10 team! Constantly learning and evolving to be San Diego's best personal training studio. Thanks to all the trainers and clients who have made this facility a joy to work at everyday.

Very approachable staff, extremely knowledgable. Coach Chris took me back to basics and helped me achieve my goals. I worked with Coach Chris because I needed help with focusing my workouts because I was working towards a military selection school. Coach Chris gave me the tools I needed and helped me solidify my foundation. Ive built my current fitness level and continue to grow from what I learned. I highly recommend the S10 team.

Blown away with the wealth of knowledge and the willingness these guys had to help!! Check them out for any nagging pains or to just get strong! Good people.

Great group of trainers at S10! They truly know so much about the ins and outs of fitness and mobility training. They seriously improved my strength and form. I feel like a much better athlete after consistently going to S10.

Great gym with everything you need for training and rehab, including a laundry list of strongman equipment. I'm located in Orange County and I still make it down to S10 about once a month. Chris and Dave have helped me immensely in keeping my training on track. Together, they have alleviated minor and major injuries as well as provided rehab programs to fix my many imbalances. You'd be sorry to live around here and not go to this gym. I can't recommend it enough.

There's only great things to say about S10 Fitness and it's trainers. Dave and Chris, along with the other awesome trainers make sure everyone feels comfortable and at home at the gym. There is so much knowledge between all of them, so if you're looking to lose weight, get stronger, recover from an injury, get shredded, learn new moves/styles of training, prep for a competition/event, yadda yadda yadda, they got you. Even all the other clients that train at the same time as you become like family. Did I mention how affordable they are too??!! Whether you're a beginner, or a seasoned athlete, you should check them out!

S10 is a privately owned gym where personal trainers can help there clients improve whatever they need help with. They use techniques from Z-health and sports therapy. They are very versed in mobility and pain management therapy.

I love the friendly atmosphere and home feel. Definitely the top personal trainers in San Diego!

If you are looking for the best facility to aid in rehab or weight loss, S10 is simply the best by-appointment gym .
David Sten and Chris Daly has navigated me through several back, leg, shoulder injuries and aided in rehab to the point where I am back at 100%. Their creative, individualized one-on-one plans bring me back week after week.
I have been a client of S10 for the past 3 years and within that short amount of time, I have accomplished losing over 100lbs and added some serious muscle density. I truly believe they have given me a new lease on life and I am glad to say S10 Fitness is my family.

As a personal trainer from the U.K. myself, I can comfortably say Chris is without a doubt the best trainer/coach I have ever personally encountered. He s an expert in multiple training disciplines, is open minded about the benefits of difference schools of thought and seeks to incorporate their best practices into the comprehensive S10 training system from rehabilitation right through to the highest levels of athletic performance. That in itself would make this place exceptional but the list of reasons why this place is so unique are too extensive for this review. Sufficed to say, this place is awesome. Everyone is extremely helpful and friendly and in my humble opinion you would be a fool to train anywhere else! Cheers

Had the pleasure of joining 2 workshops with these guys. Just wow! All the knowledge they got, positive vibe, helpfullness and the follow up is even amazing. These are the guys that genuine love their work and love helping others no matter what.

I've had the pleasure of knowing the S10 Fitness team for a long time, and I have seen S10 expand from a tiny but incredibly passionate and knowledgeable duo, to the best personal training gym in San Diego.
S10 has not only helped me overcome injury and grow stronger, but these talented ladies and gentlemen make me look forward to being in the gym. (I can't be the only one who thinks the S10 secret to great abs is how funny the trainers are.)
This is the best place for rehab. When you are hurt, you need a trainer that believes in your body - trainers that help YOU believe in your body. These guys will work together to help you heal. Don't give up until you've talked to Dave and Chris, whatever the pain is. You won't believe you've had strongman strength in you the whole time. S10 Fitness is the best; I will never stop recommending them.

This place makes everyone feel right at home ... if you grew up in a Soviet era labor camp. In all seriousness, they're a great team that takes your fitness and health seriously, while not being too serious.

So I came to s10 bc I was super over San Diego's selection of gyms. I'm not sure when the days of selfies as I get my swole on started but I'm not buying it. Chris and the rest of staff are amazing. Of course you are always a little nervous coming into a new space but I didn't even think twice about it when I walked in. Immediately I felt comfortable when I walked through those doors. I am by no means fit fam or whatever kids call it these days but every level of skill and athleticism is there and I never felt intimidated. Chris has made working out fun again and also know's when to push me harder and not listen to my complaining. I leave feeling better about myself mentally and physically and look forward to my one on ones.

Knowledgeable trainers that make it fun and tailored to your needs, in a clean friendly atmosphere. Top notch.

S10 has continued to be an inspiration for myself and friends that visit. Happy to be apart of the S10 family. Best San Diego personal training gym hands down!
