Pacific Coast Kettlebells

I have worked out here 5 – 6 days a week, every week, for 2 ½ months. Each workout is different and they all kick my ass! I love this place!

Dave, jerome, and «Fit-​brit» you are awesome! Thank you very much for keeping our workouts new and exciting, even after coming 5 days aweek for the past 6 months. I still feel like there is always something to learn, and everyone does a great job of pushing, and supporting each other. If you want to get in shape, and not hurt yourself in the process, this is the place to go!

I joined PCK about 6 weeks ago and it is literally the best decision I have made since moving to San Diego!. I contacted Dave, made the first step and signed up. The classes are a great way to start; there are people of all levels so it eliminates the «intimidation» that I have experienced in other places! For me, the best part is the way the trainers (Dave, Jerome and Brittany) always have time to coach everyone as we make our way through the class.. they always motivate you and help you finish your set, to the best of your ability! When I joined, Dave really took time to show me the techniques; one on one and helped me develop the basic skills to lifting. I also love the group element; great team spirit and energy with every class and the more experienced members often provide me with tips and techniques with stuff they struggled with. Already I feel stronger, more confident and I’ve lost over 10 lbs and I now enjoy working out. My only regret is not joining sooner! Give it a go… PCK has changed my mentality and outlook on exercising … the sense of satisfaction you get leaving after a workout is enough to have you stoked for the next class… Make 2015 your year!

After just 4 weeks of consistent training and mindful nutrition, I’ve noticed an improvement in strength and cardiovascular health. Training with kettlebells is unlike any other workout I’ve ever done before. The trainers are highly skilled with expert level experience in the sport of kettlebells. They are also incredibly supportive, encouraging, and motivating. PCK is well worth every minute and dollar spent!

BEST. GYM. EVER. There are so many things that make this place great — awesome workout, awesome people and most important — AWESOME RESULTS! I joined PCK almost four months ago and I am in better shape than I have ever been in my adult life. I wish I would have joined before my wedding instead of doing Pilates, yoga, running, spinning. They were fine, but PCK and the way the workouts here are transforming my body are so much better! David Leddick and his team focus on building muscle and burning fat. Period. You will swing kettlebells, but you will do so much more. The varied workouts — they’re different every single day — will target every muscle in your body for the best overall results. Cancel your 24-​hour membership and get your ass in gear here. You will not be sorry.

David’s morning workouts are really inspiring. They are one hour which is very do-​able, he tailors the workouts to each person keeping in mind what level you are at, and the workout is strengthening and slimming for your body– it’s not to gain muscle mass. He is really passionate and knowledgable about this work. As a former ballet dancer to now a girl who wants to stay in shape I recommend this class and gym to anyone with a desire to get healthy, build inner strength and be welcomed by a cool community of diverse people.

I’ve been coming here now on a regular basis for about three months. What first spark my interest was the need for a more challenging work out. I was working out 5 – 7 days a week and had seen a plateau. I wasn’t loosing weight and wasn’t being challenged enough. Now all of that has changed! I’ve reduced my body fat % and am constantly being pushed. I’m hooked. I tell anyone that will listen about this place because it’s become my second home! Dave and the other trainers are great and then genuinely care about my progress. I was a little intimidated at first but everyone was/​is so welcoming! I was also a little skeptical about some of the before after photos on facebook but I’ve met those people and train with them! They look amazing! Pacific coast kettlebells has improved my overall health and I’ve enjoyed the process! What more could you ask for?

I have been a dedicated member of PCK and trained with Dave for over 2 years and this is my first Unilocal review! Better late than never, right?! I love Pacific Coast Kettlebells. There. I said it. I love the workouts, the coaches, the other members, the positive energy and encouraging yet non-​competitive environment. If you are brand new to kettlebells and strength and conditioning exercise or an experienced shredded-​up athlete, PCK will benefit everyone at whatever your fitness level. The studio is basic and clean. The workouts vary from HIIT circuits, to traditional hard-​style Kettlebell complexes and drills. You will get sweaty and you will get strong. Dave encourages you to push yourself and have fun achieving your fitness goals, whether it’s for weight-​loss, overall strength or a total body transformation. I highly recommend pacific coast kettlebells to anyone looking for a great place to workout or maybe help you take the first step towards a healthier, stronger you.

Whether you are swinging a bell for your first time, or have been swinging for years, PCK is the place to be. After my first class, I was hooked. It’s the perfect mix of cardio and strength training. I am so happy that I have found a workout that I can stick to! Dave (owner and trainer) is amazing in his ability to work with you at YOUR level. He is a great motivator and takes the time to work with you individually. He creates a friendly and positive environment that makes you want to come back for more. If you mention that you «read BZ’s review on Unilocal», you’ll get your first group class free.

Aside from being one of the nicest guys in the world, Dave really knows his stuff. He focuses on your goals and form all the while making it fun and pushing you to be better. If you want to look and feel better, head to Pacific Coast Kettlebells to train with Dave and his crew. Pick it up. Put it down. Repeat.

I joined PCK 6 months ago. Crossfit seemed too intense but Kettlebells seemed like something I could do. I was nervous trying something completely new for the first time, but Dave and Eric quickly made me feel welcome and strong!
Dave and Eric are super knowledgable, and happy to provide alternate moves if you require modifications. They keep the workouts fresh and challenging, yet completely doable for any level. They are relatable and encouraging. My favorite part is breaking personal records, and they are genuinely excited for you!
I’ve lost 25lbs and gone down 4 dress sizes!

I’ve been lifting weights on and off for about 4 years now. I haven’t been as consistent as I’d like to be due to some knee issues, and well, life in general! I was familiar with the kettlebell swing and a couple of other KB exercises and decided I wanted to learn more and improve my KB skills. I found PCK quite by accident, but after speaking with Dave, I knew it would be a good fit for me. Dave is the most laid back, yet effective, personal trainer I have ever worked with. After only 12 personal training sessions with Dave, I had a measureable increase in strength, lost over 8lbs, and several inches around my waist (sorry, I didn’t take exact measurements). I fit into my favorite pants again which I haven’t been able to wear for over 2 years now!
Over all, I would highly recommend Pacific Coast Kettlebells to anyone looking to improve their fitness. Whether by losing weight, increasing strength, or improving cardiovascular endurance (or all 3), Dave and Eric are excellent trainers and can definitely help you achieve your goals! My experience at this gym has been 100% positive. I can’t say that about any other gym I’ve been to!

PCK is a friendly, down to earth, motivating place with awesome trainers and a totally organic feel. Had my first kb class there last week and it was a great full body workout. Second class today was even better. Dave is personable and motivating, and will work with you in your form and technique in a way that feels supportive.
I’d tried cross-​fit and didn’t like the meat-​head blow-​your-​brains-​out-​for-​one-​more-​rep feel, and the lack of balance (cardio with weight training) in those workouts (in my opinion). I like the kettle-​bell method because it’s tailored to every individual — your weight for your level and experience, and I like that. Dave also ads lots of plyo and isometric moves and the workouts feel balanced.
It’s about a half mile from my place so I run there and back and add a little on the way home so I get a little more cardio but the workouts are quite balanced. Can we say, hello jello legs (and arms)!! Already noticing a huge difference in my body. Can’t wait for more :))

I joined PCK in January and am so glad I stumbled upon this place. After months of being a «cardio queen» and spending hours a day at the gym with minimal results I decided to step out of my comfort zone and try something new. My body transformation has been amazing and every class still challenges and excites me as you are never doing the same workout twice. Dave and Eric are so patient and hands on and know exactly how to push you to keep you going through the workout. If you are looking to see some real results stop in for a workout and I guarantee you will never want to leave!

This gym is the real deal. It’s worth the money and if you live a bit far from Pacific Beach, it’s worth the drive.
I moved here from New York in search of a gym that would match the environment and extremely knowledgeable staff from my RKC certified gym at home. I’m so happy I got connected to this place.
They go above and beyond here. Dave & his staff truly care, beyond the workout itself. That’s what sold me.
If you want to go somewhere to actually learn & maintain a fully encompassing healthy lifestyle, you have to check this place out.
A place where the staff is continuously bettering themselves via training, classes, workshops and the like is a place you should feel beyond safe & excited to call your home gym. All of the extras they put themselves through certainly benefit the extraordinary quality of training this gym has to offer.

I purchased a Living Social deal for PCK and had a great experience! I needed a temporary gym while I was taking a break from my regular gym, and they were perfect. The trainers and members were super friendly and welcoming. Dave worked with me one-​on-​one at my first class to make sure I knew how to do all the movements and remembered my name every time I came after that. The trainers were all very encouraging and not at all pushy or condescending. I mostly didn’t make the switch because I love my regular gym and all my friends are there. The PCK workouts weren’t quite intense enough for me either but if you are a kettlebell fan then I highly recommend this gym.

Finding a workout régime that is challenging enough to provide results yet not too harsh on my body has always been a challenge of mine. I recently moved front the east coast so like many others I have spent some time searching on groupon for deals around town. Investing in pacific coast kettlebells has by far been one of the greatest decisions I have made in California, thus far. The helpful staff and energetic environment keeps me yearning for more, even if it is at 6am (they have classes all day too). You will not be disappointed and if for any reason you are the amazing trainers will give you a personalized regimen to make sure you are doing the workout that will bring out the best in you. No matter your training level this is the place for you.

A friend of mind recommended that I try out Pacific Coast Kettlebells back in August to get more in shape. I am so glad that I listened to his advice. First off, I had never worked out before, other than going on the elliptical at 24 Hour Fitness. Needless to say, I was nervous and out of my comfort zone. The trainers started off slow and have been nothing but supportive. They know when you push you harder and when to stop you. The classes are small so it feels like you are getting one on one training. Everyone who goes is extremely supportive and motivating.
I have only been going for a couple of months, but I have gotten so much stronger. It has been so much fun working with them and seeing the transformation by body has gone through. I am excited to see what this New Year brings with PCK!

I have done both the group classes at the gym and had Dave Leddick as a personal trainer. Expert instruction on all things fitness related.
Dave is a great coach. Fun to work out here and then walk around PB.

Great, clean and very friendly location. I’ve been in a lot of local places and this one is SUPER clean and welcoming. Great to see a local place that is very warm and welcoming.
