Trent is 12 years old. He always looks forward to his work outs! Within three weeks, a lot of his friends and family have noticed a difference. The CrossFit Fortius East staff and the gym employees have a great family atmosphere! It is an exceptional gym environment.

Really fun and welcoming place, everyone is really encouraging. The trainers/coaches are invested in all participants getting stronger and better whilst also looking out and emphasizing that no one injures themselves. This gym definitely has my recommendation!

I have been attending this gym for a little over 1 month now and have nothing but positive things to say! I was very intimidated by CrossFit before starting but everybody at Fortius has been so welcoming and encouraging. I am already starting to see improvements and look forward to attending the classes every time I go. Highly recommend!

Only a bit over four weeks in but already feel like I’m seeing results, mentally and physically. Have been to other CrossFit places and this one is very chill, no competition except with yourself. Friendly and helpful coaches for newbies and their questions. Actually look forward to coming here, even in crazy heatwaves.

This gym is amazing! Great coaching, great members! They take time to actually coach members to ensure that we are doing the fundamentals right. They are completely member oriented and go out of the way to build a great community! Can’t say enough good things!!!

CrossFit Fortius East is hands down the best CrossFit gym in the San Diego area. I love the convenient location and the friendly inviting atmosphere. CFFE has to be the best family friendly gym around. Family owned and operated with deep roots into the community.

I love CrossFit Fortius East! Let me tell you what I love about it:1. There is a very supportive, accepting vibe from all the members and coaches. I was nervous to start. I put it off for several months because I assumed it was only a gym for super athletes. It turns out there are people of all shapes, sizes, and abilities.2. The coaches are great, non-judge mental, and very helpful at scaling workouts to individual needs. I have old knee injuries that make it impossible to run or jump. The coaches have always gone out of their way to help find acceptable replacements for any workout I am not capable of doing.3. Camaraderie forms quickly with the other members and coaches. These are workouts that are done in classes, so you battle through every workout together. Everyone is very supportive.4. I am constantly amazed at how quickly my fitness level has improved in the 10 months that I have been going here. I am amazed at the capacity the human body has to grow strong and healthy through these intense workouts.If you’re on the fence about seeing what CrossFit is all about, I recommend jumping in, regardless of your current fitness level. This is a great gym.

I am so grateful for this gym. A year ago (age 36) I was a first timer and about to have carpal tunnel surgery. Through the great coaches help I was able to still workout with modifications. The other gym members were always asking how I’m healing. They are still so friendly, encouraging, supportive and kind. I was having such a positive experience, my husband decided to join too. My kid also likes the kids class. I’m a question asker and they’re always willing to answer and explain. ??

I’m so happy I found this gym! CrossFit Fortius East has everything I was looking for, and more! The coaches are experienced in all the equipment and are encouraging and inspiring. I really like the hours too. If you need a very early before work workout they have you covered, as well as multiple classes throughout the day and evening. By far the best gym in all of east county! I’ve gone to CrossFit Fortius East on a very regular basis for over three years and it’s been life changing for my physical and mental health. Friendly members from all walks of life are a bonus and make the workouts fun! I would encourage anyone to give CrossFit Fortius East a try! Best gym in Santee, Lakeside, ElCajon!
