Brainstorm Fitness - San Diego (CA)

5 /5 David Galea: I wanted to start personal training for years and ultimately my hesitation came from intimidation. I was intimidated by the fact that I had never lifted weights before, I didn’t feel I was in the best shape and I wasn’t sure of my capabilities. All of that changed when I walked into Brainstorm Fitness. George-Anthony sat with me during my initial consultation, asked me what I wanted to achieve from training, explained how we could make that happen, and together we agreed upon a realistic schedule that I could and would commit to. I walked away from that consultation feeling like, “why did I wait so long to do this?” Brainstorm is the opposite of intimidating, it’s a welcoming place where the trainers encourage me to realize my potential through a variety of guided workouts and movements. I have been training at Brainstorm for about 3 months and it has truly become one of the highlights of my week. I leave each session feeling proud of myself and proud to be part of a great community.

5 /5 Taylor Denson: My wife and I started going to Brainstorm Fitness and training with George-Anthony in March 2024. I’m a serious cyclist, but hadn’t trained in the gym in years, so I was looking to supplement my cycling and also just generally put my body in a better place before eventually having a family. Fast forward to July 2025 and my wife and I can see the tangible results of training with George-Anthony twice a week for almost a year and a half. Once we found out my wife was expecting, George-Anthony seamlessly started to incorporate movements that targeted muscles and simulated how we were going to move our bodies as parents. We welcomed a baby in May and physically I felt prepared for the long hours of holding a baby and being a dad. An added bonus is that I’m stronger than I have been in years and can noticeably see the changes in how I look. We love being able to train together with George-Anthony and he consistently challenges us while modifying workouts appropriately for me and my wife. Our twice weekly sessions are some of the best time we share together all week.

5 /5 Joe Salom: This place is the real-deal! The wealth of knowledge & care that George-Anthony has is truly a blessing to anyone that’s fortunate enough to cross paths with him. In the short time I got to spend around him, I’ve become a better person because of it

5 /5 Maurizio Tangari: I’ve trained at a lot of gyms over the years, but Brain Storm Fitness in San Diego is something else entirely. If you’re tired of the same old workouts, this is the place to go. The training style is incredibly creative and innovative—a mix of functional movement, unconventional tools, and constant variation that keeps your body guessing and your mind fully engaged. George Anthony, the owner, is the real deal. His energy is infectious, and his approach to fitness is next-level. You can tell he’s constantly thinking outside the box and pushing the boundaries of what training can look like. Whether you’re an athlete or just trying to move and feel better, George tailors everything to your goals and makes it fun while still kicking your ass (in a good way). Highly recommend this place if you’re looking for something different, challenging, and effective.

5 /5 Will: I work on cars and these guys build custom workouts to fit the job you have in real life. We do shoulder movements since my arms are always up on the car lifts, and functional mobility movements since I’m under cars, or twisted some weird way to fix parts. Ask for George Anthony! He’s the guy with the voice.
