Show Up Fitness Personal Training Gym and Internship San Diego

Fantastic experience: As a certified coach and a mom of four with a rehab-focused lens, I’ve been through a lot of education — and Show Up Fitness still stands out. The content is no-fluff, evidence-based, and actually prepares you for the real world, not just textbook answers. What I appreciated most was how they hold the line on quality and coach you as a human — pushing you to actually apply what you learn, not just memorize. It’s the only fitness education I’ve found that balances confidence, clinical knowledge, and communication. Whether you’re brand new or want to deepen your coaching skillset, this is the place to level up.

Fantastic experience: Meagan has to be the best trainer I have ever used, she is very qualified very knowledgeable, and super fun. Indeed, I love her.

Fantastic experience: Best CPT program in the world!!

Fantastic experience: Thanks to Show Up Fitness for creating such an awesome program to learn all about the human body and giving me the opportunity to learn hands on everyday in person in La Jolla to become a SUF-CPT. Coming all the way from North Dakota for the in-person internship has been the greatest thing I have done. Show up fitness not only has the best of the best hands on learning program to become a qualified personal trainer, but EXCEPTIONAL instructors to help teach you. My instructor Meagan in San Diego, California has been such an amazing teacher and is such an inspiration and encourager everyday in class! I would recommend this program to anyone who may ask or is interested, I have ZERO regrets and am extremely excited for this next chapter of being a Certified personal trainer!

Fantastic experience: I’m so impressed with everything I’ve learned and continue on, improving myself every day! I’m very grateful for Meagan, and all show up fitness time

Fantastic experience: Show up fitness internship has been the most pivotal moment of my career, I’ve learn how to turn my passion into a career and how to be extremely confident and efficient when it comes to programming and training general population!

Fantastic experience: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Show Up Fitness in San Diego is hands down one of the best places to learn and grow as a fitness professional. Their teaching methods are unmatched, breaking down complex concepts into easy-to-understand, practical lessons. The hands-on approach, combined with the expertise of the trainers, really sets them apart from other certification programs.

Fantastic experience: So incredibly grateful to have found Show Up Fitness to begin my personal training journey. Meagan is an amazing teacher and coach for the in person class. I’ve learned and gained so much more confidence within myself as a trainer because of SUF. If you’re looking for a place to start, THIS IS IT! You will gain so much value from this company, it’s incredible how much they’ve opened up my eyes to the endless possibilities and opportunities that I wouldn’t have found on my own.

Fantastic experience: Absolute best certification in the fitness industry. As someone with an exercise science background and other CPT certs… SUF surpasses all by far, with extremely valuable information for trainers. This is where you get the theoretical information and the hands on practice/ advice/ and help you need in order to be a qualified, professional trainer. Not to mention their opportunities to network, market, and get hired in great places. Couldn’t ask for a better experience/ program. Highly highly recommend for aspiring trainers.

Fantastic experience: Dont mean to sound cheesy, but this was a life changing class. Totally opened up my eyes and expose all my flaws. Thank you Guys

Fantastic experience: Hey guys Show up has really change the game for me. The knowledge I had gain has really enhance my skills and I feel more confident and certain to train anyone. I recommend anyone even for someone who has had experience or just wants to learn more about how to train themselves.

Fantastic experience: I recently did a weekend seminar with SUF and was super pleased! I learned a lot about how to work at higher end gyms like Lifetime or Equinox. I also gained some great skills for working with clients. For instance, I learned how to shoulder mobilization that could help with client range of motion before beginning a session. The seminar was an excellent opportunity to meet with other trainers in my geographic area. I feel like I have people who are super knowledgeable that I can reach out to regularly. It's so helpful!! Chris, Meagan and Travis are excellent resource who are super passionate about what they teach. I appreciate what SUF is doing to up the skills of personal trainers.

Fantastic experience: Amazing little space. The set up is great for how little room they have to work with. Tyler is a great instructor. Amazing classes and he makes them fun. Great environment to be in. Highly recommend trying one of the classes they are coordinating or if you need a trainer Tyler is great!

Fantastic experience: Had a great time taking Tyler’s group workout class. High energy, great vibes, overall just a fantastic time. Love how community oriented Tyler’s classes are. You get personalized training in a group setting during these classes! Already feel like I’m getting stronger just from coming the last few weeks.

Fantastic experience: I have really appreciated all of the knowledge that Meagan and Tyler have to offer. They are both incredibly skilled personal trainers with an exceptional range of exercises that they implement into their routine! What I specifically have enjoyed most working with Meagan and Tyler is their deep foundational knowledge of muscles. I couldn't recommend both Tyler and Meagan enough!

Fantastic experience: Loved with my experience at Show Up Fitness! One of the cleanest facilities I've been in. Tyler takes hygiene and cleanliness seriously, which in today's climate is super important. The equipment is super organized and workout zones are top tier – we don’t ever waste any time looking for equipment to use. But what makes this place the best is the level of privacy he offers. It feels like my own personal sanctuary where I can focus on my fitness without any distractions. Highly recommend to anyone who values a pristine, well-organized, and private workout environment! And thanks again Tyler! I’ll be back :)

Fantastic experience: After failing my Nasm the first time, I came across ShowUp Fitness. Joined online ShowUp team and passed it with second attempt. But the more I learn about ShowUp my desire grew to get internship in person. Here I am at La Jolla location. Learning from both Tyler and Meagon. In just 4 weeks have learned so much compare to all that time and money I wasted on NASM. Very knowledgeable and incredibly professional trainers. First couple days trained with Tylor. I was very impressed by his passion to fitness. He was super detailed and super attentive. Great wokrouts. Always willing to listen, help and gives great tips. Super clean facility. I cant speak enough of this place and both trainers. Highly recommended ShowUp Fitness to all who are serious about fitness and those who fill lonely and confused where to get next after getting their certs. I came all the way from NYC just for the internship. Absolutely love it. NO regrests! Keep Showing Up.

Fantastic experience: Tyler was such an excellent trainer! He was super thorough and asked a lot of great questions prior to the workout to get a feel of my everyday routine and what my fitness goals were. He had a workout already structured based on the forum I filled out prior to coming in and was super motivating and informative throughout the whole workout. You can tell he takes his time to to figure out each individual clients needs. We ended with a cooldown walk around the cove which added in some sightseeing so that was a nice perk! Highly recommend and I’m looking forward to working with him again!

Fantastic experience: I was very nervous getting back into working out and bettering myself. I was lucky enough to find Show Up Fitness and meeting my trainer Tyler! The one on one coaching and personal coaching was a key element I was looking for my needs. I don’t have to worry about what I look like and being afraid of what do to at a normal gym. Show up has all equipment and the cleanliness is next level. Especially after COVID some ppl cleaning habits ain’t it! Lol. I appreciate my experience and my time with show up and Tyler and I look forward to more work out plus it’s not bad having a hot trainer to motivate you to be better

Fantastic experience: This program is the golden key to getting started with your personal training career! I enrolled in their NASM Elite course knowing NOTHING about NASM other than the fact that I needed their certificate to work at the gym I wanted to work in. I passed the test using just the Show Up Fitness study guide and video calls in 3 weeks time. Within two weeks of passing I was onboarded as a Certified Personal Trainer at an Equinox gym. I am now going through the Show Up level 1 CPT to navigate training new clients. Although I feel new in the field, SUF gives you all the tools needed to succeed in this career. Having the live calls to ask questions to experts in real time, recorded videos to refer back to, PowerPoints, blogs, book (How To Become a Successful Personal Trainer) and the study guides are way more resourceful than any textbook. I highly recommend this program if you are a new trainer and feel like you need some guidance with getting started. #SHOWUP !!

Fantastic experience: Trained at Show Up Fitness in La Jolla and the facility is awesome. Great energy where they are located with the big glass windows and got a great workout with Tyler. I love the vibe, cleanliness, and privacy of this spot. Highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: I’ve been working with Meagan as a rugby player for Cal. She knows her stuff! I found her as a strength coach with her CSCS and she's legit! Really impressed by her knowledge, ability to adjust workouts per my injuries and make me a better athlete!

Fantastic experience: Lani has been such a help in my life with showing me how to workout and understand of certain workouts purposes for my body and keeps me motivated, she is such an amazing person, thank you.

Fantastic experience: I’m new here but my experience has been very wonderful with the help of Lani, making me want to come more often then I had plan to.

Fantastic experience: I love training here when I’m in town and I prefer training with Lani bc of how much motivation she Is

Fantastic experience: My best friend lani is going to school here for personal training and she’s learning from the best! The gym is clean, the trainers are encouraging and hard working! It’s a great environment for anyone who is getting back into their fitness journey!

Fantastic experience: I’m new to working out and Lani helped me understand the functions of my body and purposes of certain workouts. I now feel confident In going to the gym and knowing what I’m doing. Thank you !!

Fantastic experience: My sister Lani is training here and I feel so confident about the knowledge and training she is receiving here! She has helped me develop into a routine that works for me and my lifestyle. So grateful !!!

Fantastic experience: My sister lani is taking the in person intership here at show up fitness and from what it sounds like it’s the best place to learn how to train! They’ve got the most welcoming staff.

Fantastic experience: This gym is so clean and has the best trainers. My granddaughter Lani is a intern here learning from the best.

Fantastic experience: U-Landa has been training me, providing guidance/support, and sharing adjustments with me based on what she’s learned thus far in class. I found gyms to be intimidating and I’m so grateful that U-Landa has helped me become more comfortable in gyms AND my own skin. I’m getting stronger, more confident, and excited for the next few months.

Fantastic experience: I’ve been working with U Landa outside of the fitness center but when we workout I always feel an improvement of some sort. She’s amazing because she listens to hear you and your needs to understand how to help you get you started through or what we. The way she speaks of the facility and how excited she is to be on the environment of helping and building definitely makes you want to step out and say ok let’s give it a try.

Fantastic experience: I love this place and the trainers... well, especially my trainer “Lani”. I'm one of those who's actively fit and loves outdoor sports and needs to workout, but I get a little intimidated at regular gyms here there's no room for intimidation. Everyone who's is here, with their one-on-one trainers, all have separate goals... so wherever you are on your road to your personal goals, it doesn't matter to anyone else but you and your trainer. This place is freakin spotless, too, with top grade equipment and the trainers do more than just count your reps--they really guide you in everything from nutrition to muscle development (I always wanted abs).

Fantastic experience: My wife U-Landa Browne, joined show up fitness, she is already a natural athlete, she competes in NPC bikini division, but with all her accolades, and reminders from family and friends of how great she is, there are still doubts in her mind. "Show up fitness has given her the confidence to not only continue her journey competing in fitness but also help others on their journey.

Fantastic experience: I can’t say enough good things about Show Ups internship programs! I’ve taken some of the online classes and loved it so much that I knew I had to refer my girl U-Landa to the in person training opportunities there in San Diego, and she’s already doing so well!! Show up really helped me to Show Up and build my own solid clientele with not only the scientific knowledge but also the business acumen. Trainers this is thee place to jump start your training career on the right foot!

Fantastic experience: The finest place to go and train with the best in the business is Show Up Fitness!!!!!! Iani was under pressure to perform, and let me just say that she is a great trainer who is filled with enthusiasm, energy, and knowledge. She is incredibly well-rounded and will provide you guidance all the way to your final lap rep. Please check her out!

Fantastic experience: I would like to thank Lani for her hard work, by always raising my limits and always challenging me. Two months ago I started training with Lani and I’m pleased with my progress. I feel assured that with her continued training and encouragement I will continue getting good results and attain my goal! Thank you lani for being my awesome trainer with always giving me just the right combination of push and encouragement.

Fantastic experience: This gym is very clean. The people are amazing and fun to be around. If you’re looking for personal training Meagan and Tyler are the BEST in the game! Definitely worth checking it out

Fantastic experience: The experience thus far with Show Up Fitness has a great experience. The most important thing for me is that they are super understanding and supportive through the process. The goal is produce quality trainers and I feel with the combination of guidance especially the practicals that I am able to feel more confident in leveling up and transitioning in to the trainer I can be. The facility is great, ny classmate have been awesome and I'm grateful for our instructor Meagan. Its a killer experience so far and a great investment in yourself!

Fantastic experience: Show up is really the best place to become a great personal trainer. I went through the in-person internship and Meagan is awesome! Her positive vibes are really encouraging and just like everyone else in Show Up, she really wants you to succeed. I passed my NASM quicker with her help than I would’ve done on my own. And to be honest, I wish I never wasted my time with NASM and just gone through Show Up from the start. The knowledge and whole experience just doesn’t compare to any other place I could find. You wont regret coming here, whether its to intern or get training sessions.

Fantastic experience: Best fitness experience I’ve ever had. I felt very comfortable right away. Clean facility with state of the art equipment. Meagan helped me to reach my fitness goals while making it fun and exciting with every workout. Definitely recommend for any fitness level.

Fantastic experience: Show up fitness is a great place to get 1 on 1 training, I recommend Meagan she is a great trainer.

Fantastic experience: I had a great time working out with Meagan at Show Up Fitness. It’s in a great location and they keep it very clean.

Fantastic experience: So glad I found show up fitness it’s right next to the beach and their facility is very clean . Meagan knows best!

Fantastic experience: If you’re looking for a great place to get in shape Show Up fitness is the way to go! Very clean, close to the beach and friendly environment. Meagan is very knowledgeable and excellent with creating great workouts specific for your own goals!

Fantastic experience: I cannot sing Meagan’s praises enough! Not only is she an incredible trainer, but her personality and spirit are incredible, and she’s made things seem seamless for a novice like me.

Fantastic experience: If you don’t like hard work and dedication then you’ll absolutely hate Show Up Fitness. My trainer Meagan has always reached out to me, worked around my schedule and makes me earn every pound I shed. Her knowledge allows her to personalize every part of the process so when you are working out you aren’t just mimicking someone else, you’re doing what fits you. I highly recommend Meagan Harbison!

Fantastic experience: Meagan Harbison has been helping my friend get fit for months now. She works around his schedule, the facilities are clean, and her work outs are killer. I highly recommend Meagan and her team!

Fantastic experience: Show up fitness has been a great place for me to hone my skills as a trainer. I’ve been learning from Meagan & Tyler and really enjoyed the experience so far. The facility is nice and clean and can’t beat the location by the La Jolla beach area. Highly recommend you checking it out. Nishant

Fantastic experience: Meagan is the absolute best! I’ve been going to her for over a year and so happy I found her. I hadn’t done any real strength training since I was in high school and always thought cardio was the answer. I feel great and Meaghan is so knowledgeable, she knows just how hard to push you!

Fantastic experience: Amazing private gym with some of the best trainers around. They have everything you need. Meagan is the best. She’s incredibly knowledgeable and empathetic. She taught me a lot about personal fitness and is just generally fun to work with. This gym also offers, in my experience, the best personal training internship out there. Would recommend, 10/10 belt buckles.

Fantastic experience: My experience training with Tyler was amazing, he is very professional, encouraging, and patient! He explains the movements so well and is interactive with the workouts. If you’re looking for a trainer I HIGHLY recommend Tyler!!

Fantastic experience: Absolutely great company. You feel like family from the very first moment. Meagan is the best wouldn’t have passed my Nasm without her. If you are trying to learn how to be a real certified PT this is the place to be

Fantastic experience: Show Up Fitness as many great trainers but none compare to my girl Meagan!! She is absolutely amazing and a very knowledgeable trainer. 3 months ago I found Show Up Fitness while studying for my NASM Exam and Meagan was a huge help teaching me and helping me pass!

Fantastic experience: Love this place! Meagan pushes you to be your best self and is so positive. The workouts are great and I would totally recommend!

Fantastic experience: Show Up Fitness is the place to be! Amazing facility in La Jolla for private training. I’ve been an athlete most of my life but didn’t know what to do for workouts outside of training with my team. But once I started working with Meagan, I feel even more fit than when I was in organized athletics! She has created an amazing plan specifically for my goals. Honestly, she just makes it fun to come in and workout! Super thankful for her dedication!

Fantastic experience: I have received personal training with Tyler at Show Up Fitness for 3 months and have had amazing results. Tyler works specifically with your body and strengths to gain the results you want. I’ve lifted heavier than ever, and feel my absolute best. Tyler & Show Up Fitness will give you the confidence you’ve always wanted. Highly recommend trying!

Fantastic experience: If you are looking for a private and CLEAN facility, this is the spot. The gym space, the bathrooms, & even the surrounding area are so nice. The La Jolla location is perfect for me plus there are coffee shops, smoothie shops for protein shakes and healthy places to eat within walking distance. If you want to see progress to your body/physique he is THE guy to go to. He’ll help you reach all of your fitness goals! I’ve been training with Tyler long term & he is honestly the best trainer I’ve worked with. I love how personal the gym itself is. It’s never crowded so I’m able to get in and get out all while having a great workout. It works perfect for my busy schedule!

Fantastic experience: I've been training with Tyler for almost 4 months at Show Up in La Jolla and it has dramatically changed my life. The workouts we do are awesome and I’m always challenged every session one way or the other, just for me. We do a lot of multi-dynamic exercises. The La Jolla gym location is sweet and I love how easy it is to walk from my home in La Jolla. Parking is easy too with their reserved spots. I feel so much stronger and everyone has commented how great I look. I look forward to my workouts every Monday, Wednesday and Friday morning. When I walk home I am pumped. I would highly recommend you show up and work out regularly with Tyler to improve your overall fitness

Fantastic experience: I've been training with Tyler for 3 months now. I love how he tailors the workouts just for my body! We do a lot of full body exercises which is great for me since I’m looking to increase my overall strength. The La Jolla gym is great. I like how personal it is- at most there would be 2 other people training in there so it really feels like your own personal gym.

Fantastic experience: I love training with Tyler at the Show Up in La Jolla. Our workouts are always fun and challenging and Tyler is knowledgeable beyond most trainers I’ve used in the past. All the equipment I need is there and it’s all super clean. The gym space is great and I highly recommend checking it out for yourself. Doesn’t hurt that I can take a walk by the Cove after a good workout:)

Fantastic experience: For the longest time I truly believed that running would be the way I would lose weight. I was so sure of it that no one could change my mind on that. That is until Meagan! Thanks to Meagan my whole perspective has changed! After just 5 months of strength training I’ve lost 40lbs of weight while also putting on a ton of muscle. I feel stronger than ever and there’s no going back! Looking good is great, but what's even better is I feel better and much more confident! If 5 months ago you would have told me that I would do my first ever chinup at 54 I would've said you're crazy. It's about putting the work in, trusting the process and believing in yourself. If you need a trainer that will push you, believe in you and be there for you, you need Meagan. She's the real deal!

Fantastic experience: Show up fitness is the best! It’s my first time working out with a trainer and Tyler is AMAZING. He’s so knowledgeable and motivating. The gym is super clean (they have wipes and cleaning supplies to wipe down equipment), bathrooms are spotless and it’s right next to the beach so I can talk a walk down to the water before or after I train. I’m so excited to have found this place!

Fantastic experience: I have been working with Meagan and she's one of the best trainers I've worked with. Love how technique driven she is, but the workouts are the best. If you're looking for a private CLEAN facility in La Jolla, Show Up Fitness is where it's at! Also if you are looking to become a certified personal trainer, the staff is highly knowledgeable and offer outstanding study material to assist in your goals!

Fantastic experience: IT TOOK 5 YEARS… For me to get the mediocre results that I got with what limited knowledge I had. I tried all the new fad diets, bought all the “Get ripped quick” programs, nothing seemed to work for me… until I found ShowUp Fitness! With all the wonderful help and knowledge they gave me to help achieve my goals, and the environment is simply just amazing! Whenever you get there ask for Meagan. If you want to not only change the way you look but change the way you feel she’s your gal. We call her the “Energizer bunny” lol. She brings so much energy and knowledge to the table if you can’t get the results your looking for with her you won’t find them anywhere else! All you have to do is SHOW UP!!!

Fantastic experience: Finished the in person internship with Meagan as my instructor. Amazing experience! Gave me all the knowledge I needed to strive as a personal trainer at my gym! Going forward I now have the confidence to grow in my profession. Highly recommended

Fantastic experience: Meagan at Showupfitness is absolutely amazing. She is beyond knowledgeable in the fitness arena and NASM certification information. She was such a pleasure to learn from to pass my NASM exam. She went above and beyond. I highly recommend her!

Fantastic experience: By a random chance, I came across ShowUp Fitness while doing an online search regarding passing the NASM cpt exam. First let me say that this company, specifically Chris and Meagan, saved me a ton of money and time by showing me that the certifications are not the end all be all of fitness. I’ve learned way more in the last two months from Meagan then a 700 page NASM book could ever teach me. Qualified > certified Planes of motion, programming, daily fitness challenges, and of course her assistance in helping me pass the NASM cpt exam is why I STRONGLY recommend anybody looking to pass this exam and truly learn how about anatomy and programming for your clients to use ShowUp Fitness! Meagan has continually offered her assistance to me and ALWAYS makes sure you understand the material before moving on to something else. I’ve wasted a ton of money over the years on certain and programs that served little to no purpose. Their rates are incredible and the knowledge you gain is superior to anything I’ve ever seen. Meagan is truly a brilliant person and a fantastic coach and I look forward to continuing to work with her as I expand upon my career.

Fantastic experience: The hardest thing about the fitness industry is finding knowledgeable personal trainers who know the science behind fitness and willing to help others who are pursuing the same career and share the same passion. Meagan breaks everything down and simplifies it all making it easier to grasp and understand.

Fantastic experience: An awesome private gym, a beautiful location and awesome people, what more could you ask for! They've maintained covid protocols throughout this whole pandemic and make sure that our safety is priority. I started really working out again about a month ago. So glad I decided to have Meagan as my trainer she's amazing! I always know I'm going to get a good workout in and have fun at the same time. Looking forward to more gains and pushing limits.

Fantastic experience: Show Up Fitness is where you get THE BEST internship, workout and professional knowledgeable guidance! Absolutely recommend to all personal trainers who want learn and grow! Thank you Show Up Fitness!

Fantastic experience: I’m studying for the NASM exam and the Show Up Fitness internship has proven to be a great inside look at the material I really need to focus on. I feel like I’m more prepared for the exam. Definitely recommend.

Fantastic experience: Chris is wonderful! A world’s top personal trainer! He really knows his stuff and he’s always willing to help all aspiring personal trainers. He’s a great mentor and brings so much positivity to the field.

Fantastic experience: I took the 4 month program and loved the results! I learned how the human body moves and how to properly provide my body with the nutrients it needs. As well as how to lift! I got in the best shape of my life and can’t wait to continue my fitness journey

Fantastic experience: I have lived a lot of my adult life chasing the trends on how to get in better shape. I’ve done them all. Nothing worked. I was trying to not only find a way to get stronger and healthier but to figure out a way where I could help others do the same. I found show up fitness and their Personal Training internship program this year and I never knew would one day change my life. Not only did I become a personal trainer, I have learned how to change my lifestyle and way of working out to fit my life and not a trend. I was able to start training in this program and before I knew it I paid off my tuition before the class was over! I had the best mentors a girl could ask for and I could not recommend Show Up Fitness Internship more. The knowledge that is passed on is next level and I cannot wait to watch Show Up Fitness change the industry by creating better trainers!! La Jolla, you are beyond lucky to have them!

Fantastic experience: I taught at a transformation camp for 3-years and stumbled across Show Up Fitness on Yelp. I researched schools and went to NPTI- it was too long and 2k more expensive. I met with Chris & Chandler in Los Angeles to learn they’re opening an internship program in San Diego. This is the most complete personal training program out there. I was able to put over $2,000 worth of training towards the total cost by training my own clients. Make sure to watch their YouTube videos before you buy any certs or schools, Chris does an amazing job of breaking down the fitness industry!

Fantastic experience: Wonderful location on the main street (prospect st) in La Jolla. If you want to become a trainer this 4-month personal training class will help teach you how to be successful while training clients. Private personal training with top trainers for those looking for exclusive 1-1 training sessions.
