CrossFit^® Counter Culture

Fantastic experience: Words that describe Counter Culture: Inspirational, motivation, family, educational...The list goes on! This place is fantastic and I am very close with the owner and head coaches as I help the members with various sports injuries. One of the best training facilities and training methods I have seen! -Dr. Mike Wasilisin

Positive experience: 8 years as a Rec CF Athlete. Dropped in 2 days recently when in town (my hometown). - 2 Stars for community/coaching leadership and inclusion; from drop in perspective. (No one was introduced, post WoD no one cheered for anyone still working, and the vibe was cold in general - lots of room for improvement). - 4/5 Stars for box set up (equipment snd facility are great) - More: One coach was pretty solid (Josh); another coach didn’t say much other than what was on screen (no feedback, safety reminders, best practices, etc). - Place has a TON of potential and maybe my drop ins were anomalies, but vs other boxes and my home box, the clicky nature here and lack of community seemed apparent and the worst I’ve seen. Strong coaches, ownership leadership, can put more order and community into the atmosphere.

Fantastic experience: A great facility! I see a personal training in the space and found it to be very fun and helpful. Plus it has a shower!

Fantastic experience: Awesome gym - dropped in for a week & everyone was super nice. Hard programs for sure, your get a solid workout in! I’ll be back for sure

Fantastic experience: Great friendly, people, clean gym, great location. I actually just did a drop in class for the weekend while I was visiting from Texas. I felt very comfortable at this gym even though it was my first time. Welcoming atmosphere. If you’re passing through from out of town, or a local, this is a great gym to get your CrossFit fix and to help you stick to your fitness goals.

Fantastic experience: Been here 9 years now. Great fitness and the best gym community!

Fantastic experience: Positive: Communication , Professionalism , Quality I always wanted to try CF but was too intimidated. Finally, this past month, I went for it! I am so happy that I was introduced to it through CrossFit Counter Culture. This place is super welcoming/cool. Every coach was so helpful and the community ~vibe~is awesome. You should go here !!!!

Fantastic experience: Extremely welcoming communy, Zia has fostered a culture of kindness at this box unlike one I've seen before. The coaches are extremely knowledgeable in modifications (I am recovering from shoulder surgery and they were really helpful in finding alternative movements while I heal) and the little extra touches like bobby pins and hair ties in the bathroom are so nice to see in a CrossFit gym.tgey offer childcare,and showers also with towels.

Fantastic experience: I dropped in to Crossfit Counter Culture while visiting the area. Programming was great! The people were awesome! Thanks for letting me drop in Zia!

Fantastic experience: I started coming here a month ago and it's been life changing! Do yourself a favor and come to this awesome North County CrossFit!

Fantastic experience: This was the best investment I ever made. I love the atmosphere at CFCC! The coaches are very helpful, informed, and encouraging. Classes are plentiful throughout the day. The outreach through CFCC to various charities and support groups is a testament to the values of the owners; I am proud to be a part of a group that has a strong tie to the community.

Fantastic experience: I began my crossfit journey at Crossfit Counter Culture six years ago. I couldn’t do a pull-up, climb a rope, double unders, nothing. I learned all those skills at CFCC. During this time, I was a member at a couple other CrossFit affiliates-nothing compares to CrossFit Counter Culture. The community, the coaches, the programming-all top notch. Zia and Alex are willing to work with you to achieve your goals both nutrition and physical, no matter what level. Everyone is friendly and supportive. It’s great to be back and I welcome you to give it a try!

Fantastic experience: Awesome gym with indoor/outdoor feel. Great community. Most importantly, the coaches take time to train you on complex movements and ensure you are moving optimally to prevent injury and increase strength. I have been a member for almost 2 years and appreciate the motivation and ever changing workouts. Try it out!

Fantastic experience: CrossFit Counter Culture is an excellent place to train. There's plenty of equipment and an attention to detail around maintaining that equipment. A lot of gyms don't bother maintaining their rowers or assault bikes. Not true at CFCC. It's a great atmosphere with plenty of really nice people that are dedicated to their fitness without being overbearing about it. Try it. You'll like it.

Fantastic experience: I’ve been loving Counter Culture for over 2 years. Such a great place to get healthy, connect and be inspired by an awesome group of coaches and members! We love it so much, now my middle schooler is hooked on the teen and Independent P.E. Classes. The coaches are top-notch!

Fantastic experience: I've been a member here since I moved from Chicago about 1-1/2 years ago. It's an awesome community (I've made lots of friends), amazing programming, and great coaching. I highly recommend giving CFCC a try - especially if you're new to Crossfit!

Fantastic experience: This box is auce. Location convenient, space size more than enough and the people (ownership, coaches and members) truly make the place. Get healthy, ripped and have fun doing it. I've been to boxes from here to South Africa and CrossFit Counter Culture tops the list.

Fantastic experience: I just started working out there about 3 months ago. Came from a very hardcore box that focused on "Games" athletes. The vibe at Counter Culture is a lot more laid back and less intimidating. There's a good mix of firebreathers and normal everyday athletes. Check out their WOD blog to get a feel for their programming. It's a great mix of gymnastics, strength training, and metcons.

Fantastic experience: This is a great group of people. The trainers are very friendly and helpful. They always accommodate my reduced workouts with good suggestions. The gym is usually open all day even when no workouts are scheduled, so you can always go in for individual work.

Fantastic experience: I have been a member for a year now and I can’t imagine switching to any other crossfit gym. CFCC is so accommodating with their huge list of daily class times (5, 6, 7, 8:30 am, 12pm, 4:30, 5:30) and massive space. The gym has one huge main space (size of 4 garages) and one smaller back room for open gym. I love the coaching staff and how willing they are to help with overall technique and learning new skills. I also love that there is a shower equipped with shampoo, conditioner, soap, towels, and wash clothes! It is super convenient for people on the go, like me, especially with their Territory Foods pick-up fridge and mini-fridge stocked with protein-filled snacks and delicious recovery drinks! I am a huge fan of the family-like community that really makes you feel supported and encouraged to work hard. Every workout I show up and leave with a smile! I would highly recommend CFCC!!!

Fantastic experience: Addicted to this place!

Fantastic experience: Amazing coaches, programming, and community all rolled into one box!

Fantastic experience: Coaching, equipment and community are all top notch. I have been here six short months and have seen vast improvement in all areas. I am stonger, faster and more fit. Best crossfit gym ever!

Fantastic experience: This is the best gym in North County and the best that I have had the privilege of attending in San Diego. I have been coming here for about 3 years. It was such a wonderful initial experience that I got my L1 and started coaching here!

Fantastic experience: The best crew, killer programming, vomiting and laughter guaranteed .

Fantastic experience: Great programming! Members are friendly!! Very happy here!!!

Fantastic experience: Coaching is excellent as well as the programming and the 12p clock group class has to be the most insane class full of misfits and troublemakers. But what better way to get sweaty than with people you genuinely somewhat like. Place is amazing. Been a member for many years.

Fantastic experience: Been at Counter Culture for over 7 years. Made lots of good friends, got in the best shape of my life, and had a lot of fun in the process. The programming is superb and the hours are very convenient. Logical cycles (powerlifting, Olympic lifting, gymnastics) with a wide variety of daily workouts / movements that keep things fresh. It’s an older / professional crowd for the most part so it seems like there is much less drama than other Crossfit boxes I’ve heard about. Big spacious, well stocked facility gives me lots of room to roll around on the floor recovering from workouts.

Fantastic experience: Incredible community, terrific programming, welcoming atmosphere. Zia and her team make working out fun and effective. Everyone is friendly, no egos getting in the way of a good workout/experience. Clean and cool set up.

Fantastic experience: I’ve been a member here for 4 years and I love this gym! It’s my family and home away from family and home. The people here have such a positive and healthy energy and I’ve never been in better shape in my life. I love how every class is led by energetic, motivating, encouraging, and competent coaches. I also love how a little friendly competition among members during the workouts makes me work that much harder. I never thought I would love working out this hard and lifting weights, but I have become a fan of CrossFit!

Fantastic experience: Great community and solid coaching.

Fantastic experience: Great experience. Zia (owner) is wonderful to work with. They train hard!

Fantastic experience: Awesome gym great coaching staff, best atmosphere in the area.

Fantastic experience: Counter Culture follows a great program thats constanly updating among the amazing coaches.

Fantastic experience: At first you wouldn't think the atmosphere is great but once you come to a couple classes it's the coaches and people that make the place great. Don't try, commit.
