An absolutely amazing team that is positively motivating from the top down. Which says a lot in my opinion. I highly recommend checking the gym out. They are also an honorable business generated by a veteran!!! You can sign up to complete a Deka there to get a dose of the environment and personnel. More importantly if you want to train for a Spartan or any obstacle course, MROC is your gold mine LOL cheers !!!

MROC has been pivotal for helping me navigate my fitness journey. It is so much more than a gym. They provide tips and train you for races, help you attain goals you never thought you could achieve, give you individual attention in class to make sure you have the correct form to avoid injury and provide a really fun and encouraging atmosphere. I was initially intimidated, but the entire MROC family welcomed me with open arms and made me comfortable from the second I stepped into the gym.

MROC Training is an amazing gym. I have only been here for a couple of weeks. It has been nothing but positive vibes and great workouts. They explain the workouts well and always have modifications if needed. Overall, my experience at the facility has been wonderful 😊😊😊😊

I took the Spartan Obstacle Specialist Course at MROC and it was an amazing experience as an athlete. I am looking to compete at a more Elite Level in OCR and this workshop was exactly what I needed. I am in the gym 6 days a week, but this class offered skill training in obstacles such as monkey bars, twister, carrys, running technique, Olympus etc. that you just don’t get time to practice unless your in a race. Not to mention OCR strategy tips from the coaches! Would recommend 10 outta 10.Bonus, the coaching staff was kind, knowledgeable, and welcoming to those who train and MROC or just come in for the short course.

I found MROC by signing up for a single obstacle course training class in preparation for my first spartan race. What was originally planned for a 1-time thing, ended up turning into an amazing part of my life. For the last few years, I’ve tried to get back into the gym consistently but have let excuses hold me back. Since I’ve been at MROC, consistency has not been an issue. Between the coaching, programs, people and environment, it’s all so addicting. Its challenging but rewarding, draining but motivating and overall, so much fun! I have not been to a place like this where everyone is so motivating and excited to celebrate your growth. I thank everyone at MROC for the great experience and I definitely recommend MROC to others.

When I first joined MROC 5 months ago, my initial goal was training to complete a Spartan race. I havent raced competitively in over 10 years (since high school) and I wanted to gain that competitive edge back. Throughout my time at MROC, Ive had the pleasure in taking the Obstacle Specialist Workshop coached by Coach Mike and the Running Skills Series coached by Coach Matt. During these seminars, these coaches provided excellent knowledge, technique, and feedback to improve my obstacle skills and running techniques. Each coach worked with me 1 on 1 to ensure I performed the workout correctly without mistake or injury.They displayed great patience, understanding, and were truly dedicated in helping me perfect my craft. After training at MROC 5 days a week consistently for 5 months, I have seen some tremendous results in my endurance and strength. MROC has helped me drop 2 minutes off my 5k time and helped me break 20 minutes for the Carlsbad 5000 and MROC has given me the confidence to run in the competitive division for Spartan in my first year where they have helped me place top 10 in my age group for each race. If you are looking to make a change in your life, a different set of workouts, a coach to really push you to your true potential, this is the gym to be at! Thank you MROC and all the coaches for making a huge impact on my life!

Came to the gym 5 months ago to start getting back into shape after working out on and off for the last 8yrs and train for a Spartan race in January. I have had nothing but the best time and best experience with everyone here. The coaches and members are awesome and I feel like I am on a team again. I have done 4 spartan races since joining the gym and have continued to improve with every race. The workouts are not like any other gym I have been to in a good way. Highly recommend.

I started by trying out MROC with the 28 day challenge in early Feb of 2023 and got hooked. I’ve run lots of Spartan Races over the years but always had issues with the overhead obstacles. Since starting at MROC, the coaches have worked with me to help me crush them and I can do them all now (though I’m still working on getting faster on them).MROC’s classes have a great mix of strength, agility, obstacles, and running and mixes them all together in a way that’s approachable and challenging for people of all skill levels.Love the recovery lab and open gym too. Really good culture and friendly members who will welcome you no matter how new you are to working out.Whether you’re looking for a specialty gym to help take you to the next level for Spartan Races, Tough Mudders, or other obstacle races or just want to get in shape, MROC is the place to be.10/10 would recommend.

This gym is awesome! If you’re looking for a place to find great coaching, solid programming, improve strength, conditioning and cardio look no further. The gym culture is fun but work hard. No egos or forced RX workouts. They have a great app for viewing workouts and tracking results from workout to workout. Added bonus, if you’re into obstacle course races this place has all that equipment and these get incorporated into daily workouts.

As being a new member, I’m so grateful to have found this gym. The gym itself is great but the people and coaches make it fantastic. The coaches are there to support you and help with your techniques and they join the workouts too! It’s not just the coaches who make it great, but everyone else too. We are all together and support one another (whether it’s saying good job, keep it up, fist bumps or high fives every time we go for a run or do a certain exercise). It doesn’t feel like a competition compared to other gyms. Everyone there is supporting you to help reach your goal like a family.

Had heard about MROC and their unique approach to fitness incorporating obstacle course training and strength and was not disappointed. Facility is packed with different obstacles to try and was extremely clean and organized. The team was welcoming for first timers and other members were friendly. Definitely recommend if your in Oceanside and youre tired of the regular gym or crossfits.

I recently participated in the Spartan Obstacle Specialist course with Coach Mike and I can not recommend it enough!I have been racing Spartan Races for years and let me tell ya even as a vet you can still always learn something new to advance your races!Coach Mike was very welcoming and used different techniques to guide all the participants thru the course.Whether you’ve ran 1 Spartan, 10 Spartans or have never been in the start coral before, this is the course for you!

I participated in the Running Skills Series led by Coach Brandon with assistance by Coach Matt. As an avid runner focusing on longer-distance trail running, I was keenly interested in fixing current form issues and improving my overall running mechanics, pace, and efficiency. I was incredibly impressed with the attention to details, taking us back to the basics and teaching not just the what but the why behind proper running form, movement, mobility work, nutrition, hydration, and gear choice. Coach Brandon took before and after videos and the difference in my form and speed was abundantly clear. Its amazing what can happen in just a few weeks with expert-level instruction and coaching. Which is exactly what I expected based on my previous experience at MROC - the attention to quality and detail at this gym and through their coaches is top-notch!

Flash forward 2 years now! This is hands down, my favorite gym I have been a part of. The staff and its members are all so welcoming. I stumbled upon this gym after searching for a facility that could help me train for a Spartan race. It has been the perfect fit for me. I have done 2 Spartan races since joining and plan on many more. MROC offers a gym environment that is unlike any other. Wether you are training for your next Spartan or any other obstacle race, or just want to get back to a healthier you while actually having fun doing so, this is by far the best facility around. I was tired of the conventional gym atmosphere and just not having the motivation to go. The variety this gym offers and the way the coaches treat each member, are what keeps me going. They know every members name by heart. Which truly makes you feel like family rather than just another member.

MROC is a fantastic place to be motivated and inspired to be the best you can be! The team atmosphere, and friendly competition that lives in this gym give you the drive to achieve things you may have never seen yourself doing.A big part of this is the coaching staff, who are not only knowledgeable and experienced, but they genuinely care about everyone and help them reach their fitness goals, whatever they may be.

MROC has completely transformed my life, and I couldnt be more thrilled to give it a well-deserved five-star review. This gym has been nothing short of exceptional, and I attribute much of my success to the outstanding coaching team, with special shout-outs to coach Matt and coach Brandon.From the moment I walked through the doors of MROC, I was welcomed with a sense of community thats hard to find elsewhere. The atmosphere is not only motivating but also genuinely supportive. The staff and fellow members create a positive, encouraging environment that makes every workout something to look forward to.Now, lets talk about Matt and Brandon, the dynamic duo of coaches at MROC. Their knowledge, passion, and dedication to helping clients achieve their fitness goals are truly commendable. The effort that goes into the weekly programming has been invaluable in my fitness journey. They go above and beyond to ensure that each session is not just a workout but an educational experience, empowering me to make better choices in and out of the gym.One of the standout qualities of Matt and Brandon, in addition to their fitness expertise, is their lighthearted personalities. These coaches not only bring a wealth of knowledge to the gym but also a healthy dose of humor and positivity. Their ability to make even the toughest workouts enjoyable with their witty banter is truly remarkable. Its not just about getting fit at MROC; its about having a great time while doing it.What truly sets MROC apart is the holistic approach to fitness and well-being. Its not just about lifting heavy weights or running fast; its about transforming your life. Ive seen remarkable changes in my strength, endurance, and overall health since joining MROC. This gym has become a second home, a place where Ive made lasting friendships and found the motivation to become the best version of myself.In summary, MROC deserves every one of its five stars, and I have Matt and Brandon to thank for being incredible coaches who have guided me on this incredible journey. If youre searching for a gym that can truly change your life and provide an amazing fitness experience, look no further than MROC. Its more than a gym; its a community, a support system, and a place where goals are crushed on a regular basis.

I can’t say enough great things about MROC! All of the coaches, community and workout programming are unparalleled! I have been doing crossfit for quite a while and was looking to change things up and couldn’t be happier when I made the switch to MROC! The coaches, people you work out with everyday and programming make you excited to put that work in! Love this place and highly recommend it to anyone looking to be part of a great team, crush goals and have so much fun while doing it!

I live in Murrieta but everytime I have a Spartan race, I come to MROC to get the fear out of my system. I took the obstacles clinic last week and its all worth it. Everyone are super helpful. Thank you.. Coach Mike. I went back and practiced my monkey bars and made it to the end. It was a struggle but a success.

MROC is more than a training facility, its a place to transform your life. I joined in 2015 when I decided to make changes to improve my physical health and learn from professional coaches who would help me reach the goals I had in mind. Over three years later, Im still a member continuing to build on each new level of fitness and skills. Ive lost over 50 lbs, learned how to eat properly, and train like an athlete if I want to win competitions or just live a healthy lifestyle. The coaching staff brings different backgrounds and levels of expertise that push all members to reach levels and skillsets never thought possible. This year alone, Ive started taking an intro ninja class and have learned moves that make me feel ready for regional competitions. Athletes of all ages and all skillsets are welcome and the workouts are designed for each individual to push their limits without pressure to keep up with experienced athletes. All the members are extremely encouraging as we all remember Day 1 at MROC. Its more than just a training facility, its a family.

100% recommend MROC! I came to take the OCR Workshop to prep for my first race. The coaches are exceptional, super friendly, supportive and knowledgeable. I learned so much. I will definitely be going back and recommending to friends that are looking for a gym that offers ocr training and more. Thank you MROC!

Such an amazing experience! We walked in during Open Gym hours on Saturday in prep for a Spartan Race, and the instructor, Jeremy, was so helpful. He showed us all the movements we will encounter during our race, and he told us all the tips and tricks. Highly recommend coming in to try something new or to train for a race!

I was nervous about going in to do the obstacle course but quickly my fears subsided. Everyone was so nice and the class was excellent. I learned how to do the obstacles the proper and efficient way. I can’t wait to go back and practice all the things I learned. I feel very confident that my Spartan race will be successful. Thanks Coach Mike

I’m happy I found this place. Signed up for their Saturday obstacle course simulation class and I’ve been hooked. One of the best gyms I’ve been to! Wish I didn’t wait so long to join. The atmosphere is a really motivational and the coaches are always willing to help and push you to your limit. They constantly help with proper form and technique so it’s like having a personal trainer in a small group setting. I’ve been working out for years and have been to a few OCR gyms and this one def has everything you can imagine as far as equipment/obstacles. If you are in the San Diego / Ocean side area definitely check this place out.

I just finished the 3-part obstacle skills training course at MROC. It was invaluable and just what I needed to boost my training for an upcoming Spartan Beast. Brandon is awesome! He’s great at explaining things and is super patient with newbies like me. This course was well worth the investment!

At the risk of sounding like Im exaggerating - this place changed my life. Im not a member and live over an hour away from MROC but I heard they had a running clinic through word of mouth and decided it was worth checking out. I love running and have been recovering from a series of injuries, so I almost didnt go, but again, thought that I might still get something out of it even if I couldnt participate. Not only could I participate, but I saw and felt an astonishing change by the end of the clinic. We covered an impressive amount of information in so many areas related to running like lifestyle, nutrition, form, equipment.... For something that I have loved doing and pursued my whole life, I had no idea how little I actually knew. I wasnt by any means the only one that saw success - I think every single person there felt a certain degree of the same. More than the external/physical improvements though, I felt a renewed sense of hope in what I would be able to accomplish going forward, knowing that I am approaching it in a much healthier and worthwhile way. Thank you so much to both coaches - Tiffany and Brandon!

THE PREMIER gym in North County if you want top quality coaches and personalized training for superior functional fitness. Mike and his crew specialize in getting people ready for Spartan races but their support has much more to offer. They help members with goal setting, nutrition, running techniques, and have the energy to keep you motivated to meet your goals. Highly recommended for all ages.

I started the 28 Day Challenge on July 19, 2023 and I love the gym. I found it Googling Ninja Gyms Oceanside. My favorite part is all of the obstacles, and that is from a 58 year old woman who cant even do a pull up (yet). I am confident the coaches will help me achieve my goals of successful performance of the obstacles. It may take a while but I have already gone from being afraid to do a 12 box jump to performing multiple reps on the 16 box, barely able to hang my full body weight to traveling 5 rungs on the monkey bars, and never flipping a tire to flipping the 300lb tire twice. The coaches are fantastic following the WOD (Workout of the Day) with their corrections and advice on movements in the gym for the last 2 months I see little improvements everyday which keeps me motivated and the best surprise was being able to descend stairs pain free. In the past the pain in my knees was excruciating. I have to admit my muscles have been sore ever since I started but its a good kind of satisfying feeling that comes from hard work. The other members are great too, encouraging and lifting each other to better performance. Even when I dont feel like working out I know I am going to leave ther feeling fantastic. Exhausted but fantastic.

I participated in the Spartan Obstacle Specialist class at MROC this past Sunday. I learned a lot of techniques about different obstacles and was able to try several that I have never been able to complete before. The coaches were helpful and knowledgeable and the members were all very supportive and welcoming. I signed up for the 28 day trial and Im looking forward to learning more. This is an awesome environment for anyone looking to improve their strength, and learn new skills for obstacle course races.

Edit 4 years later: Im Back! I rejoined just over 5 months ago and have already lost a significant amount of weight, gained significant strength, and made a whole lot of friends! The coaching staff is top notch and keep the workouts fresh and interesting while also being brutally effective. Highly recommend!Original rating: MROC is the best obstacle training gym around. While I was a member there I was in the best shape of my life. My runs got faster, my lifts got heavier and my races got easier. Coach Mike and the rest of the crew are very passionate about continually improving the gym, the curriculum and the members themselves. If you want to take OCR to the next level, this is the place to do it.

I found out about MROC from someone at a Spartan race about a year ago.They offer obstacle course training. I signed up for one of their obstacle course trainings and I really liked it. The trainers were awesome! They showed us techniques to get through different obstacles.Since then, I have been back for one of their Saturday obstacle course sessions and a DEKA Mile.They are super organized, friendly, motivating. Both the coaches and the MROC members were friendly. I felt comfortable every time I was there. Its a fun place to work out. I also like that they allow guests for their Saturday sessions.

Was in the area for a short time for work, decided to try out this gym because it looked so fun! Not only did they have a flexible payment plan for my short stay, the whole gym had a really great vibe. All the instructors are so sweet and encouraging and knowledgeable, so are the folks who attend classes regularly. Definitely not your average gym — the obstacle course aspect makes it like a big jungle gym for adults plus you get stronger and more prepared for any obstacle course races you may do. Lots of classes offered early morning and later in the evening. Also they do a body scan for objective tracking of your progress! Would def recommend to everyone who wants a welcoming and super unique gym.

I can’t say enough good things about MROC training facility. The training center has excellent equipment and challenging obstacles. You can tell the owners take pride in their facility and their excellence shows in the coaches that they have coaching their members. Coach Brandon and Mel are extremely helpful and knowledgeable. The design of the workouts and the way the coaches teach proper technique and body mechanics really helped me as I worked on my fitness goals. Coach Brandon helped me to work on mobility as well as pushed me to strive for my personal best at every workout. The atmosphere of the gym is so positive and the attitude of the members are encouraging and inviting. I recommend this gym for all fitness levels. They will help you to meet your fitness goals and you’ll meet some awesome people!

I found this place on google, looking for any gym in the San Diego area that had anything similar to what you would experience at a Spartan Race. MROC 100% exceeded my expectations. I can go on all day about how the coaches sincerely care about your success.. whatever that might mean for you.But its more than just an obstacle gym.. they have every piece of equipment you could imagine to get a great workout in. All the toys!! Im very grateful I found MROC and look forward to being a part of the friendly community.

I love, love LOVE this gym! The environment is competitive yet friendly, pushing each other to achieve what was otherwise thought to be impossible. The coaches are top notch, they watch form carefully to ensure maximum results while reducing the chance of injury and are always encouraging to push each member to their individual ability. The gym and workouts are designed to be mostly outdoor so we can take advantage of the fresh air and surrounding hills, enjoying the beautiful California weather and setting MROC apart from any other gym I’ve seen.

If I could give 100 stars I would. I initially came to MROC to train for a Spartan race but have discovered so much more! Mike and his coaching staff are masters at circuit training, obstacle training, all things fitness and mobility. MROC has state of the art equipment and recently added a Recovery area for when your muscles ache.Ive never been a gym rat before but something about MROC keeps me showing up consistently every week. The encouragement & support I get from the coaches and all the members is very real. Definitely worth every penny!!!! Im loving the results too.

The. Best. GYM. Around! Yes, seriously! MROC is the best gym around!I would describe MROC as a unique gym with a fun mix of obstacle course training (think Spartan, Deka, Hyrox etc.), cross-fit, and HIIT workouts. Every workout starts out with a dynamic warm-up then goes right into a creative program that blends all the above training principles. It is fun, yet very challenging. Each day of the week presents a new workout so you wont be stuck doing the same things day by day. I think the coaches enjoy finding new ways to physically whip you into shape ;)The coaches I have taken classes with (Brandon, Michelle, and Matt) are great athletes who actively compete in various OCR races and are also extremely knowledgeably about fitness, obstacle course training, and strength and conditioning techniques. They strive to ensure safety and proper lifting techniques are applied. Their goal is to make sure you get a good workout in but without injury.If you are looking to run in a Spartan, Tough Mudder, Deka, or Hyrox competition. MROC is the place to train at.If you are looking to get in shape while surrounding yourself with awesome and encouraging people. MROC is the place to train at.Whatever your goals are. MROC is the place to train at.Dont be shy! Try the 28-day challenge and see for yourself.

MROC is fantastic and I couldnt be happier there. I took over two years off from OCR after moving across the country, and after being at MROC for only 4 months, I actually did better on the obstacles than in the past.If OCR isnt your thing, the gym is still terrific. The community is top notch, and there is nothing but support from the other members.The gym also hit a home run with the primary coaches. Not only are Coach Tiff and Coach Brandon world class athletes in their own right, they are excellent at leading classes and getting the absolute best out of everybody.

I never thought, at 47, I’d be in the best shape of my life! For 27 years I had been working out at the big name gyms, doing my own thing. One of the best things about Mroc is that the amazing coaches design workouts for us! No more thinking about what you’re going to do at the gym or if you’re doing it right. The coaches are there assisting you every step of the way. If you’re looking to train for a Spartan race this is the place to be! I recently ran my first race and placed 7th out if 15 in age group. The coaches and I are already working on getting me to the next level for my second race !The first thing I noticed at Mroc was that this gym was on another level. As a beginner there, I was worried I couldn’t do all the others could do, but, to my relief, the expert coaches modified the workouts for me. Whether your an elite athlete or just starting to workout, the trainers will meet you where you’re at on your journey.The other members are welcoming and encouraging to all! We are like a big family and I’ve made several new friends.If you want to race Spartans or just get into better shape, you will reach your personal goals here!

There are so many great things to say about this MROC community. Fantastic coaches who support you, challenge you and help you reach your goals. Each class I attend, there is support and friendliness from fellow members. I love the diversity of the workouts, as each day is different. Significant focus on using the right form so that you are as efficient as possible. Throughout a normal week, workouts will hit cardio, weights and obstacles. Finally, the owner (Mike) sets a great example for all to follow. Ive only been a member for 3 months, and I already know its a place I want to be for the long run.

One of the best decisions of my life! I was fairly new to the fitness world when I signed up in August 2020, and I hadn’t heard about MROC or obstacle course races until a friend told me about it. When I saw the gym I knew it was it, the place that would transform me and get me to my goals. Not only has MROC been helping me consistently reach my goals, I have gained an amazing fitness family that I happily drive 30 miles one way for (and at the height of training multiple times a day.) The coaches are amazing, and all my teammates/ family are great. The first day I meet Coach Mike I thought my initial goals were impossible, but he inspired me and Coach Mel, Coach B and all of MROC pushed and supported me.

What can I truly say about MROC that hasn’t already been said? I was looking to switch up my workout routine after being at my workout studio for 4 years. I needed something that was going to challenge me both physically and mentally. I was looking for something that was going to push me past what I thought my limits were and make me a better athlete all around. I checked out their obstacle simulation course on a Saturday and was instantly hooked. After trying a few other workout studios, I kept thinking about how challenging the course was and how much I was itching to come back. What else sold it for me was how much they want you to respect the space that you’re in and keep things clean. That is HUGE for me! Everything that everyone is saying in these reviews are spot on. MROC has some of the best coaches I have ever worked with. They are not only your biggest cheerleaders, but they also truly care about what you’re doing and how you’re doing it. Trying new things can be super intimidating but you have a community of people behind you at all different phases/paths in their lives, cheering you on. It is challenging but, it is FUN! I am so happy and grateful to be a part of this community and so happy to have found MROC!

I joined MROC in November 2021 and have had the most wonderful experience ever joining a group fitness community. The people (trainers and athletes) here are truly kind and genuinely happy to be there, to see you, and make you feel welcome immediately. Ive joined many different group fitness places, including crossfit, and none of them were as welcoming and FUN as MROC. The incorporation of running, lifting, HIIT training, and obstacles keeps your body constantly moving and reacting for a true total body workout.If you enjoy working out, have goals you want to achieve, and are looking for a fun, inviting place to do it, MROC is the place for you!!

Great gym for all kinds of goals. I was fat and slow...now Im just slow 😀. If you show up, theyll help you get it done, I get faster every month! Obstacle course skills, running acumen, fitness goals, a no judgement community of classmates, and coaches supportive of your goals. If you want to get faster, conquer OCRs or have a challenging workout in a fun environment with unique workouts this is the spot! Im excited to keep tearing through my goals and setting PRs here

This review is a long time coming. But how to convey how awesome this place is? I would give it 100 stars! I’ve done a lot of workout programs…like, a LOT! But I’ve NEVER made the progress like I have in the 3 1/2 months I’ve been coming here! When I started I was pretty good at hanging motionless from the monkey bars. Now I can go UP the monkey bars, swing from ring to ring, go over the high wall faster, and today I got the Spartan race weight Herc Hoist to the top…TWICE!! I can lift heavier, use better form, and run faster! The coaches here are WORLD CLASS! Even in group classes, it feels like you’re getting so much one-on-one coaching. There’s no way I’d have made this much progress in such a short time (if ever) by attending traditional group fitness classes at any other gym I’ve gone to. If you’re looking for a place to get in the best shape of your life, whilst having a ton of fun, stop looking and join MROC! I’d heard about MROC from a friend and was curious, but super intimidated! The first time I walked in, Coach Brandon was there & cheerfully said, “Oh come on in, don’t be intimidated, it’s just basically like a playground for grownups.” And that’s about sums it up…a playground full of really fun encouraging people where you get awesome at doing cool stuff.tl;dr…Just join, you won’t regret it!

I found MROC on Google in 2016. I completed my first Spartan race and it was obvious I was lacking many skills necessary to participate in obstacle course races. I attended Saturday OCR bootcamps until Oct of 2020 when I joined the gym on a full membership.MROC coaches are very experienced and knowledgeable in strength training, running and obstacle course skills. They always challenge us to push harder while making sure we have a good form.MROC offers regular nutrition challenges and workshops as well as mobility classes to encourage us to take care of our bodies beyond the workouts.Our gymfam is very friendly and we all have each other’s backs, in the gym and outside of it.I highly recommend joining MROC if you are looking to challenge yourself and learn how to properly exercise and get stronger and faster, all while having fun with some awesome people.

My first time attending any sort of cross-fit/couch led workout. I do gotta say that you might need a bit of training to even start their program because I was really sore the first 2 weeks lol. Great opportunity to make new friends and have fun working out! The obstacle course makes me feel as I’m a kid again. I hope the local freeway opens back up again soon to make commuting a breeze again 👍

After 2 years with MROC I can say this is the best overall gym environment I’ve ever trained in. The friendly competition of OCR events on Saturday, the fun and flexible group fitness classes, and the incredible coaching staff make this a unique experience. Thanks to MROC, I’m now more mobile than ever and found a perfect environment to overcome old injuries while maintaining strength training.

You won’t find stair masters, treadmills and all of the other standard machines that enable you to approach fitness as another cog in a wheel of countless bodies in a Big Box gym environment. The machine at MROC is you. Add in the monkey bars, walls, tires, hammers, kegs, ropes, slack lines, and rings and what you get is a workout that is super fun and highly effective. The coaches are fantastic instructors and highly supportive. They make you feel like a million bucks (athletically) while simultaneously kicking your A$$. Fantastic people, fantastic community.By far the best investment I’ve ever made in my health.

Saying this place is amazing is an understatement. MROC is an amazing gym for people of all walks of life. When I first started at MROC. I had no idea what I was in for. I had no idea what tough mudders were or spartan races were, but I decided to sign up and give it a month and see how I do. Well it has been almost 6 months and 34 pounds later and I freaking love it there. The coaches are amazing and unique. Each with their own motivation style. The gym members are so involving, caring and all around amazing people. They make you feel welcomed and a few of them have become good friend with me. This place definitely has a family aspect to it that keeps me motivated, involved and inspired. I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a change from the mundane gym experience. MROC will push you, MROC will motivate you to become better and MROC will definitely give you a sense of accomplishment after every class. As coach mel would say JUICE!!!

I was not sure what to except when I decide to join MROC 2 years ago. I was very out of shape and had never done any obstacle course training. All I can say is WOW! This has been the best decision I have ever made! Not only is MROC fun but I t’s like having a second family! A fit family that you can go run with or say I’ll meet you at the gym. The coaches are so attentive and caring and know everyone on a personal level. They know your strengths and weaknesses as well as how to motivate you to get better with each class you take! I can not recommend this gym enough! Make the call talk to a coach and get in the gym you will not regret it! MROC is definitely the best choice when you are looking for a great workout a safe environment and new friends! Come join the family at our fantastic gym!

***UPDATE May 5, 2022***I just wanted to provide a quick update on my review. After about 1.5 years of being apart of the MROC Army, I couldnt be more happy with my decision to join MROC! Going to the gym is now truly something I look forward too each day.The gym has drastically improved all aspects of my health and fitness. Ive lost about 30 lbs since joining and have made incredible gains in my strength, endurance, and cardio. Now instead of just trying to survive the workouts, Im working on pushing myself each day, and am setting and achieving goals I never thought possible.This is all thanks to the MROC staff and fellow gym members who provide a community of support and motivation that is unmatched. I cant recommend MROC more to anyone that wants to improve their health and fitness and have a great time doing it!******MROC has been a true highlight in my life since I joined back in September! I cant recommend it more to anyone looking to improve their health!As a gym it was exactly what I was looking for. They do a great job of incorporating all aspects of overall fitness: strength, cardio, endurance, mobility, and functional fitness. Which was critically important to me, because I want to be the best balanced athlete I can be. Their workouts are INTENSE but in a good way! They help you push past your limits, work harder and do more than you ever thought possible! And yes they also have all the awesome obstacles you could ever imagine! So if youre an OCR racer or just looking for something new and fun to shake up your workouts, you cant find another place like this anywhere in SD.But what I really think makes MROC so unique and special are their Coaches — they are simply EXCEPTIONAL! I dont know how else to put it. Not only are they incredible, elite level athletes with a deep knowledge of exercises, fitness and mobility, but their energy and enthusiasm is infectious! They create an atmosphere that is so positive, happy and motivating that you cant help but want to be there, even as theyre kicking your butt in a workout!And Ive had amazing results since I joined! Everyone kept saying you just gotta keep showing up and boy do the results start coming in! In the short time that Ive been there, Ive lost a considerable amount of weight, made major gains in strength, and greatly improved my overall cardio. MROC has got me back on the path working towards the level of fitness I want to achieve and I couldnt be more excited to keep showing up!

While I have always been active I really got into fitness about 7 years ago. It started with home videos like Insanity and outdoor activities such as running biking and paddle boarding. As I got older, my responsibilities shifted and my time for these activities became scarce.As a way to prioritize my fitness (and to get out of the house), I’ve tried several gyms in North County over the past few years.First was Orange Theory which provided a great indoor cardio workout. Their tread mills and rowers are great but I quickly maxed out the weights that were available for lifting. Also while I liked many of coaches I found them cheering me on instead of helping me improve my technique to achieve my goals. As I wanted to become stronger, I then joined a box gym. With a focus heavy lifting, I enjoyed the wide variety of equipment but often found myself spending 1.5-2 hours at the gym as I was unsure what to do each day.Then I found MROC.... For me, MROC has been a great balance of cardio, weight lifting and functional fitness. The classes are small and coaches do a great job of motivating while still correcting technique.Over the past year I have become stronger and better conditioned but more importantly, I have become a better athlete! This is because MROC teaches the “why”behind everything they do. Since joining, I have learned about Olympic lifting, trail running, obstacle course racing and more. In addition to being a better athlete, MROC also offers classes on diet, mobility and running that help with performance, recovery and injury prevention.Another thing I like about MROC is the bench mark week that occur every quarter. These workouts are the same each quarter giving you the opportunity to recognize your improvements first hand and more imperially set goals for the next quarter.Lastly, while the gym is great the coaches and members are what make it special. From my first day there the entire gym has gone out of its way to make me feel like a part of the community. Whether you are the strongest or weakest, fastest or slowest everybody is there to support and cheer you on.Whether you are looking to race your first Spartan, become a better athlete or just get in shape and have fun MROC has something that you will enjoy and a community that will support you along the way.

Ive been training at MROC for 9 months now, and I am SO happy I found this gym! Its so much more than a place to go work out-its a place to be challenged, to be held accountable, to have FUN, and to grow. It has an outstanding reputation in the OCR community, but even if youre not looking to run an obstacle course race, its still a place where you can get an amazing workout. MROC also has a tight-knit, welcoming community that sets it apart from other gyms that Ive been to. The coaching staff is phenomenal across the board, and all of them care deeply for the athletes they work with and are ready and able to help them discover and meet their goals. Ive gone from running my first Spartan race in January of 2017 and not knowing what the heck I was doing to, by the end of this year, completing 7 Spartan races (including the Ultra Beast in Lake Tahoe, woohoo!) and many other OCR and road racing events. Come by and visit, or drop in on Saturday for a workout. You wont regret it :)

I love this gym!! I was already training at a gym, staying in my comfort level and not seeing the results I needed as I was heading into my second Spartan. I signed up for MROC and remember getting home thinking: What have I just subscribed to? Am I even going to like it?It is now the highlight of my day, my stress relief after work, and the driving force of my continued physical improvements! I have made friends here and signed up for additional events that I wouldn’t have otherwise been exposed to.The coaches know every single member by name; they know their personalities, what drives them, and their strengths and weaknesses. This is so important when you’re dealing with an injury or when you are trying to dig deep to finish the workout. The workouts are scalable, challenging, and fun. The format of rotating workouts keeps it constantly interesting!My speed, strength, and mindset have all improved in the last 9 months and I can’t wait to see what more I can accomplish in the future!

I’m new to MROC and so far I love it! I was recommend by a MROC member that also works out at the gym where I’m doing a challenge. I signed up for Spartan Race. This is all new to me and of course I need the training. So far the classes have been great! The members are very helpful and friendly. The coaches are awesome! Today I was able to climb up the rope and ring the bell! It feels so great to be able to do obstacles and learn new things. I couldn’t have done it without the support of MROC! I highly recommend them.

Very happy to have joined this gym. Working out before hand felt like a chore but with MROC I actually enjoy going to workout. The coaches are well versed in all things fitness and the classes are very challenging but coaches are quick to make adjustments and provide alternate workouts should the workouts of the day be too challenging. Good for any starting fitness level. Shakes up your workout too as during one session you might be doing deadlifts then scaling a rock wall or A-Frame obstacle; keeps it interesting. Coaches care more about form rather then reps to make sure you dont hurt yourself and get the most of your workout. Everyone weve encountered there have also been very friendly and encouraging during the workout process. Working out with the Coaches and other members definitely feels like a team effort.

MROC is amazing! More than just a gym, its a complete fitness program that includes an awesome community. Excellent coaching with fantastic classes make MROC the best gym around. Combine that with nutrition education, Spartan skills training, and members that are incredibly supportive and friendly, and you get something that is truly special. MROC pushes you to reach your actual potential and not just settle for what you thought you could do. Im faster, stronger, and more flexible than Ive ever been in my entire life and without a doubt, its because of MROC.EDIT: Three years later and MROC is still killing it! Their coaches actually COACH! They teach, they motivate & encourage, and they make it fun and always find a way to squeeze the best out of you. The community is supportive & accepting and the workouts are always challenging. I love this place! MROC is still, by FAR, the BEST Gym/Training center Ive ever been to!Thanks, Mel, Brandon, Meghan, Mike, Krista, and all the coaches & MROC for creating such an awesome place to get better. Physically AND mentally. you guys really (M)ROC!

MROC has been a saving grace! I just joined this gym three months ago after so many years of not having a consistent workout regimen, running a mile or playing on jungle gyms. The first time I walked in the gym, I felt the magic. After my first three months of working out here, I feel the difference in every single aspect of my life.The coaches work with you to develop individualized workout plans/fitness goals, develop action plans to make your goals achievable and push you to show up for yourself the whole way. The workouts are fun, the other members are SO encouraging and motivating and youre given the space to carve out your best self.So why havent you signed up yet? Come and Spartan up with us!

I cant say anything that hasnt already been said about MROC, but I am one more happy customer. After 18 years of rock climbing, I needed something new. I tried yoga, tennis, biking, spin classes, but nothing really clicked until I joined MROC. These work outs are never boring! I am challenged every single time. I have been going for a little over a year. When I first joined I just wanted a good work out that would keep me interested. What I got instead was a whole new sport. I completed my first Spartan race and have signed up for two more. I had never done anything involving a Coach before. Wow, what a difference it makes to have people who guide you with your personal fitness. That was the difference between a work out and a new sport for me. I developed goals there that I didnt have before and its been a blast. If you are a seasoned athlete they can push you further, if you are not athletic at all, they can help you become one. If you are reading this and trying to decide whether to try them out, do it! You wont be disappointed.

MROC is a great community to be a part of. All the coaches are amazing and extremely knowledgeable. The workouts are challenging and rewarding for all levels of expertise and are setup in a way so that you can continue to challenge yourself as you progress psychically/mentally. Id highly recommend MROC to anyone looking for a change/challenge in their workout routine, a solid community to be apart of, and results that matter.

Ive been a member of MROC for a little more than a year now. My daughter and I discovered this place while researching gyms in our area, that specialize in OCR and Ninja Warrior. We both were looking for something more challenging, fun, and most of all a way to get stronger. We have found that here at MROC. All the coaches are very knowledgeable. They are good at knowing how far to push to help you reach your goals. The workouts are challenging and fun. But the best part about MROC is the community. I walked in that first day very hesitantly. . . but I left with new friends. Everyone supports and encourages each other. Ive never found this at any other gym.

MROC has everything you need for OCR and Spartan Race training. Although Ive completed 25 Spartan Races, their Obstacle Skill Series training provided pro tips and multiple techniques to complete an obstacle that I never considered. The MROC equipment/obstacles replicate Spartans and enabled me to repeatedly practice what I learned; likely saving me a 60-90 burpees per race. The staff is extremely knowledgeable, friendly, and top notch OCR performers. Its totally worth the time and money to invest in MROC training.

A little over a year so far at MROC, and cant give the team and facilities over there enough praise. Classes are designed and run by a fantastic group of coaches who are able to get the best out of any skill set or physique individual. If you are willing to put in the work, MROC will give you all the competition, coaching, training tools, and motivation necessary to hit personal bests for your strength, cardio, and competition goals.

All the other five star reviews got it right for this gym. I am so grateful I decided to join as soon as I moved to Carlsbad. I have learned so much in the short time I’ve been a member. The coaches truly care about your form and progress. They are so upbeat and the members are so incredibly nice and motivating. The obstacles are super fun and make you want to get stronger to conquer them. You will be pushed to be better and to do it with a smile on your face.I recently took the running clinic which was 3 sessions over the course of three weeks. This was exactly what I needed. I used to be a runner, but due to a back injury had to take the past year off of running. Now getting back into it I wanted to make sure my form was correct. The clinic taught me better form and so much more. I feel so much better running now and am ready to start increasing my distance. If you’re on the fence about one of their clinics I say just do it. You’ll have fun and probably gain more than you expect.

Too many good things to say can’t find the words to say it but here it goes!Being new to MROC was intimidating!! And I say that in the best way possible. Intimidating but EXCITING! From the outside looking in, it’s hardcore. But once you’re in you’re hooked!It may be tough and challenging, but all at your own pace.I specifically love that they take 3 days to personally train you in fundamental movements before group training. It doesn’t just stop there though, coach Brandon & coach Mel consistently throughout the classes watch and correct form/grip or even modify if needed.ALL of the coaches are knowledgeable, fun, and amazing to workout and mobilize with. Not only are the coaches great but the community within as well. Everyone is constantly encouraging and pushing each other.Never a dull moment at MROC!With that being said in the short amount of time I’ve joined the gym I feel stronger and faster, result city!#juice#easyday

MROC is an astounding place to achieve your fitness goals, whatever they may be. There is so much buy-in from an incredibly accomplished coaching team; they put in a staggering amount of effort to design challenging and varied group 35-45 minute workouts that can be catered to individual fitness levels. Whatever your fitness goal, (e.g. competing in endurance races, losing weight) the coaches will make sure you specify it so they can help you reach it. Workouts rotate every 6 weeks and contain a mix of cardio (e.g. hill repeats), obstacle (e.g. monkey bars), and strength-based (e.g. squats and cleans) exercises, ensuring that you will advance all aspects of your fitness. The sheer amount of certifications and training the coaches have results in a strong focus on working out effectively and safely (i.e. with proper lifting form). I am always impressed by the detailed, individual attention I receive during a group class with ~20 people. Finally, the MROC community cannot be overlooked -- the people here are more than gym buddies: by joining this group youll inevitably form close friendships that extend well beyond the gym. I cannot recommend MROC enough.

I Love MROC!! Been here for 2 ½ years & I just can’t get enough. The community is amazing – we are a family. Not only do we train together but we race together too. You will find us at Spartan races, Tough Mudder, EPIC, Terrain, Rugged… well pretty much any mud run/ obstacle course event – cheering each other on. MROC is like a playground for adults! Not only do we lift weights and do HIIT & circuit training, but obstacles are mixed in with our workouts too. Workouts are Fun – oh yes I said it – FUN!! And we have The Best Coaches!!! Love Love Love our coaches!! They challenge, motivate, make us laugh… Not only do they care about our fitness goals, but they help us achieve said goals so that we can make new ones. I could just go on and on… I love MROC! This gym is truly a one of a kind – come join us!!

I can not say enough good things about this business or the employees. I love the gym, I love to train, more so, I love to see results. Ok, done, I am already feeling incredibly good getting back into shape here. But thats not really brag worthy. I walk in and literally EVERYONE is smiling, sweating, and motivating the people around them. The vibes at MROC are so good, its hard NOT to push yourself and believe in yourself when the coaches and others training outwardly believe in you. Plus, you have people with incredible credentials right there to help you meet your goals. The owner has gone out of his way to film short videos to help you recover at home, there are guided meal challenges, if you like competitive races (Spartan, Tough Mulder, etc) you are in a gym full of people who want to do them with you, if like to lift heavy weights they do that too, even runners are there getting there sweat on.Forget the traditional gym, come join me at MROC.

This gym has been the answer to all my exercise problems. I get so bored exercising. I cant work out a gym (I dont know what Im doing) and other classes I have attended get repetitive. I never knew there was a gym like MROC and thankfully through researching on google & yelp I found them.They change up the types of workouts and workouts themselves constantly. Everyone is working on a different skill - mine is learning to use the barbell correctly while someone else in the class might be working on completing the monkey bars. EVERYONE - the coaches, the owners, and the other gym members are friendly, nice, and encouraging, even to someone who is shy and has an RBF like me!I just completed my first Spartan race, which I wasnt even planning to do when I joined the gym, and I think I might be addicted. Rolling in the mud is pretty fun! And luckily I felt pretty prepared after a few months of training with MROC. I cant say enough how educated and supportive the coaches are. If youre thinking about trying them out - just do it. Come in and just do a class and youll see for yourself how fun it is :)

MROC is phenomenal! From the motivating and knowledgeable Coaches, to the friendly members, and a variety of obstacles and different tools and toys to challenge you. The fundamentals in the beginning of your program set you up with a solid foundation, the workouts during the week make you stronger, faster, and prepare you for your goals, while the Saturday Obstacle Course Racing classes add a completely different element that just tops off the week. Theyre super fun, challenging, and give you a chance to see what you need to work on. Whether youre a beginner, intermediate, or consider yourself an elite athlete... MROC is the spot to help you accomplish your fitness goals and take you to the next mud run / Spartan level!

Been going to MROC in Oceanside for over 6 months now and I’m very pleased with my fitness results so far. It’s been years since I had a gym membership and I was looking for a place that provided not only a great workout but teaches useful everyday techniques I could apply to my outdoor activities and hobbies. Since joining I have been able to track my success in the benchmark testing MROC provides on a quarterly basis, they also encourage the use of a personal health and fitness app called Naked Labs. Both of these have shown that their methods equal results, the best part is I actually enjoy putting in the work because the coaches Mel, Brandon, Krista and Mike are just good people and really care about each members fitness goals. The results also show big time in the other activities and sports I do. Best place I’ve found in Oceanside and North County, my best friend has joined me at MROC and I hope to have other friends join as well in the future. I’ve set a goal to complete a Spartan Race Trifecta this year which wasn’t even in my wheelhouse last year. This is the place to go if your training for Tough Mudder and Spartan Race style Obstacle Course Racing events, once you check it out you’ll be hooked. Veteran family owned, obstacles, equipment and workouts are top notch, no matter what kind of shape your in this place will make you better, never any judgement on your abilities from coaches or members, they will tailor the workouts to fit your personal needs, and you will feel comfortable. It’s a family.

MROC cannot be properly described with words, but Ill tell you my experience! I was looking for something different and heard about Spartan races. I found MROC on a Google search and set up my introduction with Coach Mike. First thing the coaches at MROC did was teach me the basic movements that I would be doing. Coaches Mel and Brandon went over all of the obstacles at the gym by demonstrating them first then they asked me to execute what they just taught me, not hard at all. The second step was to join a group class! WHOA! This is when l realized the workout is anything but basic, in fact it is tougher than any other workout Ive done. Third thing that I experienced was the constant encouragement and assistance from every coach and every member. Every member Ive met wants everyone else to do great during each workout. When Im worn out and barely moving, another member will start cheering for me or the coaches will do an exercise with me (like running) to help motivate me to push further.This gym is more than just a workout place, it is a family of athletes and Im proud to say that I found a new home at MROC!-Jack

My husband and I have joined a few gyms in the past and have finally found the right fit. In only a few short months at MROC, our form for heavy weight, body weight, and running styles have improved tremendously as our fitness levels are smarter and stronger. The members are always welcoming and continue to cheer you on during workouts. The owners, Krista and Mike, show a real passion for what they do to help you achieve everyones goals going above and beyond of what a typical gym owner would do for their members. They cheer you on to the end, they help you in the race whether they are competing or not, and they make sure you follow proper recovery. This has been, by far, the smartest move my husband and I could have made in the name of FITNESS!!!!

MROC is the best! All of the coaches are top notch. The coaches have done a great job of establishing a community that both supports and holds you accountable. The workouts are fun, challenging, and always adding something new. I really cant say enough about this gym!

I cant say enough amazing things about this gym! Been training there since Jan of 2016. Mike, Krista, Mel and Edder are all encouraging supportive coaches. Its always a fun and amazing workout, and I always leave feeling great (and tired!). Definitely not your average run of the mill gym, and monotonous workout. By far the go to place to learn anything related to Obstacle Course Racing or Ninja Training. Members are just as great as the coaches. Very supportive and come to be family.

I joined MROC about 1.5 years ago and havent looked back. I wanted a gym that would help me get into shape and motivate me to stay in shape. Mike, Krista, Mel and the other coaches do just that. I didnt know anything about obstacle course racing (OCR) but the training program has been challenging and FUN (well, after class is finished...). MROC is a tribe of supportive OCR athletes, enthusiasts and those of us who just dont want to get creaky as we grow up. I highly recommend you check MROC out and find out why JUICE-ing makes a difference.

I found MROC when I was just looking for a gym that was actually open during COVID, with some obstacles. While I was initially a bit turned off by the family oriented nature of the gym (by that I mean everyone is really supportive and close knit), because I really just wanted a gym to workout and not talk to anyone, its really grown on me and I have found a group of people I consider both friends and family. Its a great place for the elite athlete and someone just starting out, and the community aspect brings people from all different levels/abilities together. I always feel like Im being pushed to be better, lift heavier, run faster, while also being encouraged. The coaches are really top notch - very accomplished athletes themselves, extremely knowledgeable, and supportive. Even the app we use at the gym is pretty cool and allows us to easily track progress (for example, if I want to see my max all time for deadlifts, or find out if I had a new record), and allows for some healthy competition since you can see how others are performing in your class and other classes. The layout and equipment at the gym is pretty good too. My only complaints are that theres no sleds and that open gym hours are not as long as Id like, but the gym owner does a quarterly member survey and is always reacting to our feedback, so I trust in time, there will be sleds and longer hours.

If youre looking to up your game for your next Spartan, Epic, Tough Mudder, or an obstacle course race, this is the perfect gym to do it. Theres also ultramarathoners, half/full marathoners, and Ragnar runners part of this gym too. Theres something for everyone!Coach Mel and Coach Brandon are quite amazing and very motivating on every group class. Progress can be tracked on your own or from the gym every 90 days.Highly recommended

MROC is incredible. I’ve tried gym memberships throughout my life and I’ve been consistently doing yoga for the last 3 years yet I’ve noticed more significant results in my physical strength and fitness at my month here at mroc than when I was going to big gym corporations or doing yoga-don’t get me wrong yoga is great and will provide many physical benefits but mroc will truly make you strong and fit fast!The coaches are all SO incredible along with the amazing people at mroc who consistently help to push me and encourage me to do my best no matter my fitness levelThis gym is worth the investment if you’re looking to seriously get strong and in shape!

MROC is amazing. As a spartan racer for 2+ years now, it’s the only place I have been able to find to really work on all obstacles and get great advice from Mike the owner. His advice and videos are super helpful. I had done the research and talked to others and decided to fly out of state to go work with Mike and it was well worth it! Great confidence booster too!

My gym was sold last year due to Covid. I know it was time for me to move on. A friend from church told me I should join her gym, MROC. She said I would have fun. So, I joined. She was right, it is fun!The coaching staff is professional and motiving. Everyone there is friendly and helpful. I have been there for about two months and I have noticed that I am getting stronger. I can feel and see the results. The workouts are challenging and boost my confidence. The obstacles in the workouts make it fun. I look forward to going to the gym. This place is awesome!

MROC is next level!! This place transformed my life and provided a much needed balance that I didnt have before in my crazy life. Im a nightshift ICU nurse, mother of 2 little ones, and now a homeschool teacher, but no matter what obstacles arise, I always find the time to make it to MROC because it helps keep me sane. Im trying but there seriously arent not enough words in the English language to express the love I have for MROC. The coaches are so knowledgeable and full of energy, they keep the workouts fun and challenging, and they also do an amazing job at motivating you and helping you accomplish your goals. They have already helped me achieve new levels of growth and strength in several areas in the past couple of months. I cant say enough good things about the other members, too, they will also encourage you and celebrate your accomplishments. We are one big family here ❤ I highly recommend checking this place out!

Joining MROC Has been the best decision I’ve made in a long time. I live about 40 mins, sometimes an hour, away from the facility. The early mornings and long drives are well worth it it. I love everything about this gym. The trainers, the workouts and the workout partners. I can’t thank MROC enough the the live, time and effort they put into this gym.

As a OCR racer I was looking for something that would train me specifically for OCR racing. Trail running, obstacles, weight training as well as diet and nutrition. I found all that and more at MROC. They consistently adapt to OCR racing with obstacles and new equipment not to mention educated experienced coaches that motivate you in so many different ways. At other gyms it can be scary and intimidating. Not at MROC, day one you are part of the tribe!This is the only place to really get serious about racing or just have fun with a great group of like minded in people.

MROC: Obstacle Course Training Center is an amazing gym in north county San Diego that offers a wide range of programs and training groups. I’ve really enjoyed taking MROC’s obstacle course clinics and their group classes. They also offer ninja classes for kids, teens and adults! The coaches at MROC are all very knowledgeable, very helpful and motivating. I highly reccommed MROC for anyone that is looking for a great fitness community to join or needing some training before their next obstacle race!

I have trained at MROC since they first opened. I was pretty nervous my first time. I had no experience with obstacles or lifting but had just recently done my first Spartan Race and wanted more!At the time I was at a big box gym that wasnt really challenging me or giving me any individualized training for my specific goals. I was just going through the motions. Sometimes training three times a day and getting nowhere. I wanted to get past my plateau and take my training to the next level. MROC has been there with me throughout this journey and has continued to raise my fitness level far beyond anything I ever thought possible at the time of that first Spartan Race. I have learned so much more than just obstacles. I have learned how my whole lifestyle and diet play a roll in my training. I have learned how to lift heavy, the right way. And I have learned how the power of the mind can push me past any limitations.I joined MROC for the sole purpose of learning more about obstacle racing while increasing my fitness level. They have given me that and far more than I ever dreamed. I also got an amazing group of people that I now consider family. We all support and encourage each other. We are from all walks of life. Some elite athletes, some grandmas, ALL BADASS HUMANS!If you are thinking about trying out MROC, you should. Dont think about it anymore, just do it. It will be the best thing that youve ever done for yourself!

MROC is an AMAZING place where you get to push yourself out of your comfort zone with encouragement, support, and guidance from great coaches and your fellow MROC peeps, who become your friends and mentors! I really can’t explain how incredibly supportive, fun, and challenging the people are at MROC. I would absolutely not consider myself an athlete or an athletic person but over the past year MROC has proved to me that I can do athletic things and someday soon I may even say I’m athletic. Prior to January 2018 I had never climbed over an 8 foot wall. I had never even thought that I could run a 5k (3.2 miles) in under 35 minutes. And I sure didn’t think I would ever do a Spartan race. But here I am, one year later, and I’m doing all of those things! If you’re looking for a place where everyone’s accomplishments are celebrated equally, at every level of athleticism then give yourself the gift of joining MROC! Safety is a top priority for the coaches and other members. You are guided through every exercise/obstacle. You don’t have to worry about how you’re going to get over a 6 or 8 foot wall because your coaches will teach you how to do it safely and at a pace that you’re are comfortable with. No one cares if it takes you a month, 6 months, or a year to accomplish your goal or complete an obstacle. All your coaches ask is that you come in every day with a positive attitude, a willingness to do your best, and with goal of having fun!And for those of you who are athletes…you’ll be working side-by-side with incredible athletes, accomplishing amazing things! Trail runs, OCR races, Epic races, Ragnars…these are things that MROC athletes are training for all the time. These are the people who make me push myself harder. But the one thing you you’ll need to do is leave your ego at the door and be willing to join a tribe of athletes who will support and encourage everyone, at every level, every step of the way!Are you looking a sign? If so, this is it! This is the sign! Take the step! Get out of your comfort zone in a safe, encouraging, and most importantly empowering place. That place is MROC!

MROC is where you go when you dont want to just progress in your fitness journey, but when you want to redefine it. Its where you go when youre ready to challenge yourself and learn what your body is truly capable of.MROC is special because of their holistic approach to training. Yes, the training programs are intentional and challenging in the best way. But its more than that. It starts with the warm reception you get from Coach Jody and filters through every element of your workout.Youll learn proper form and technique for every move no matter how small (shout-out to Coach Brandon who never cuts corners so we can always push ourselves safely!). Youll come to appreciate what mobility can do for you (seriously, you need to take one of Coach Jeremys classes!). And youll always be met exactly where you are while consistently encouraged to grow (you wont find a bigger chearleader than Coach Tiff!).However, I have found that there is a drawback. Between the stellar coaches; small class sizes; infused accountability; program structure; and an unyieldingly supportive community, youll find yourself stripped of any excuse you may have been able to hide behind. If you bring the energy, you will reach your goal.

I’ve been a member of MROC for over two years. No matter what you are into, you can find it at MROC - the workouts are always challenging, fun and varied. We run, we practice on the obstacles, we do strength, we do metabolic conditioning - there is something for everyone. I’m forever grateful to MROC, and keep coming back for more, because I’ve grown as an athlete and really as a person because the confidence I get from being able to push myself physically spills over into my everyday life. If you are training for a Spartan or just looking for the most fun, challenging workout of your life - you need to try MROC.

If you even considering this as a gym, just stop thinking and come join NOW. I have been dealing with a bad hip and lower back for 10 years now from my military service and in and out of physical therapy, the chiropractor, injections, everything leading up to surgery (which Im trying to avoid). The coaches and staff here are extremely well educated and passionate about the overall well being and success of each individual person.During my initial meeting, they took me through a list of basic movements and immediately started scaling and altering movements to where I could still participate and pain free. They also introduced me to Active Release Therapy which I had never heard of before, but I gave it a try and in conjunction with the gym and therapy my range of motion and mobility have improved so much (at least what I consider a huge improvement) in just a matter 3 months.The coaches know everyone by name, your personality, and what motivates and drives you while knowing how to and when to scale you back when needed for us high intensity driven folks (like myself). I cant thank the coaches, staff, and members/family here enough for helping me climb this personal mountain and start to see over the horizon and couldnt have asked to find a better gym to do it at.So again, if youre looking for a gym and considering MROC, just stop and come in now, you wont regret it!

Wow, very impressed with this awesome gym. Im an OCR enthusiast, having competed in about 40+ races over the past 4 years. The only facility ive seen that comes anywhere close to MROC is Rhino Gym in Las Vegas, which is a crossfit gym with some Spartan and Ninja Warrior obstacles. Mike at MROC has built a gem with a fantastic mix of OCR/ANW inspired obstacles, which are primarily used for weekend OCR simulation race training. The real heart of this gym is Mikes attention to detail in his instruction, coaching and guidance. The fact that everything is shiny and new just makes the gym that much more inviting and exciting. His web based tracking and use of tech had me giggling at how cool and well sorted this gym has come together.

This gym is the best, there is nothing else like it around! My kids were doing ninja classes and I thought, is there a place where adults can play on obstacles too? I searched the web and was excited to see the perfect gym (and only gym like it) was not too far from my house. I tried a Saturday class and loved it. That was about 2 years ago and what started as an interest in doing ninja-like obstacles has turned into a whole fitness revolution for me. I have exceeded many of my goals and I feel great. I love that the workouts are fun, different and challenging, but attainable for all levels. The community is very welcoming, supportive and celebrates eachothers progress. The coaches are all amazing, motivating and experts at what they do. There is a big emphasis on form and safety which is important for me as Im not someone who naturally has good form and so I can be prone to injury. If you are interested in obstacle course racing (OCR - Spartan, Tough Mudder, etc..) there is simply no better place to work out. Or, if you are like me, and want to find a more fun, motivating place to get fit - give MROC a try. You have nothing to lose and quite a bit to gain. As LeVar Burton used to say, ...but you dont have to take my word for it. Come check out one of the Saturday obstacle course simulaton classes.

I had already completed several Obstacle Course Races and thought I was as good as Id ever be. However, after I saw the incredible gains my friend made after she joined MROC, I knew I had to try it. After just a few short months of training with Mike and Krista, my confidence level has increased immensely. I am now completing obstacles I thought Id NEVER be able to complete! I cant say enough good things about MROC...if you want to be the best you can be on an obstacle course, this is THE place to train!

Fantastic functional fitness gym combining a great balance of free-weight strength training, body-weight exercise, HIIT, and obstacle course workouts in an ultra-cooperative, mostly outdoor environment. Unparalleled encouragement from members and coaches with deep knowledge of mobility & injury prevention! (Quick version)I joined MROC in late Sept. of 2020. While sitting on the couch watching “American Ninja Warrior” I noticed the contestants creating & training on elaborate set-ups in their backyard, and clips of them ‘flying’ around obstacles in a specialized gym. I wanted that! I certainly didn’t have the motivation to build it, so when 30 seconds later my girlfriend Googled MROC less than 2 miles away I was a little shocked. 3 years had passed and I never even knew it was there . . . I had never looked. The next day I walked in the gym to talk to Mike about joining.Being 48 and on the edge of clinically obese, my apprehension was real. Questioning my ability, fearing injury, and if I’m honest, still not wanting to work too hard. I was a wrestler and lifted weights in high school, and have been active most of my life with hiking, basketball, snorkeling/scuba, biking, etc. until about 15 years ago – that was about the last time I was close to being in-shape. Having worked some very physically demanding jobs, and consistently embracing a ‘weekend warrior’ mentality, without warrior training, I’ve racked up a laundry-list of injuries from a combination of time, circumstance, and poor judgement.The first 3 orientation sessions were eye-opening. Gravity is intense in this place! Holding your own body weight off the ground and trying to move it can be, and was, humbling. I did NOT have a straight upward line of improvement. I could barely run when I started, and certainly not without pain. My body has been strained and I’ve had to modify/substitute exercises. The urge to pass-out and vomit did occur in those first 3 months.Almost 6 months have passed and I’m feeling years younger! I’m down from 224 lbs to 195.5, as of today. Obstacles that I could only hold on to for a few seconds I can now complete easily. I never enjoyed the deadlift until, in the first session, I learned I had never done it correctly; now it’s second nature and I feel powerful executing it. The challenge of learning the movements, group atmosphere, and contagious energy tempered the hardship by adding plenty for my mind and spirit to thrive. By MROC utilizing 3D measurements and regular app-based data entry tools, the progress I’ve experienced is undeniable.A HUGE benefit to MROC is the coaching enthusiasm & expertise. Coach Brandon and Coach Mel are incredibly effective at getting my body and mind to do what it does not naturally want to embrace. What has pleasantly surprised me is their engaged oversight, paying close attention to form (adding constant correction), and ability to adapt my workout around injury – nullifying a huge excuse for me in the past to throw in the towel.The supportive body of members is the literal heartbeat of these intense sessions. MROC is made up of a very diverse positive group of which there is always someone to relate and connect. Unlike any gym I’ve been a part of, the support and encouragement from the members was immediately noticed and made me work harder. I will not soon forget the group cheering that erupted mid-workout when I completed for the first time a version of the corkscrew obstacle. I hadn’t even realized there were eyes on me at the time. Since then, I have spontaneously taken part in cheering for others, and am inspired by their courage to take on what they have never done perhaps in their whole life.MROC has put the fun back into exercise for me, all-the-while, preparing me to embrace the adventures I have yet in life to experience . . . rather than find excuses to avoid them. Truthfully, I believe I am just scratching the surface of the resources, potential, and community MROC have to offer!

I looked into MROC initially because I wanted to find something new and different. Upon meeting Mike for my initial consultation I was immediately sold! Mikes knowledge, philosophies, and style of coaching are top notch; he leads by example. There is a great wealth of knowledge at MROC revolving around OCR, Olympic Lifting, Mobility, fat loss, nutrition, goal setting and overall motivation.After joining MROC I dropped 3 minutes on my timed mile, increased my deadlift to 400lbs and squat to over 300lbs in a matter of a few months.I have worked at and been a member of many gyms and MROC is the best of the best by far. Results matter and if youre looking for results MROC is the place to be! To top it all off the members are AMAZING as well!

I wanted to take a moment and thank you and your entire staff. You have an amazing organization, from the facility you have built, the employees you have hired to the clients you work with. Everything is geared towards helping each individual achieve their goals. The workouts are challenging, but achievable. When I started, I laid out my goal, of being able to complete the American Ninja Warrior 1st round. I have been working on the Salmon Ladder for about 6 months now, and had very little to show for it. Over the last week I finally broke through. First I was able to do two rungs, then do two more back to back. This morning after an exhausting workout, I gave it a whirl, and completed four rungs. MROC has not only helped me gain the confidence to complete the course, I am now looking to compete on the course.

This is not your run-of-the-mill workout facility.It is a training center.Everything about it is rock solid. The coaches will pull the best out of you and the group will make sure you succeed. Beginners do not be wary, youll get trained how to do the basics correctly then competitively, advanced athletes will get the tune-up you need and get pushed by a fun-loving but competitive group.OCR athletes will get outstanding simulation obstacle circuit runs on Saturday mornings that will prep you for your race season and keep you in top form - LIKE NOWHERE ELSE. Open gym is great to make your own circuit and destroy your weaknesses.Ninjas warriors are also all over the place as the rigs, ropes, obstacles and warp wall create a great ninja vibe.Come on Saturdays and you will be hooked.

I considered moving closer to work but this gym is the reason I stayed in Oceanside, its that great. You wont regret giving it a try.

What a great facility and a breath of fresh air for training. All the coaches own their classes and carry great energy throughout the workouts. All the athletes support each other and create a great environment for success. My favorite part: the coaches actually look like coaches not lazy trainers that got an online certificate while they were hitting the donuts. Love this place!

MROC is da bomb! I’ve learned so many strategies to get through obstacle efficiently and safely. All of the coaches are very helpful, knowledgeable, and motivational! The community is a big family who supports every person who walks in.

I started almost 2 years ago and could barely do a couple of push ups and the beginner barbell.Now it’s nothing to knock out 20 push ups of different types a round. My deadlift is now up to a 215 max and 135 back squat. I also shaved over 2 minutes off my mile.I have also gained a huge support system and friends that help me achieve my goals and make sure my technique and form are on point!Excellent coaches, ok,....the best, great programming, and also support for nutrition!

Cant say enough about this gym. Found it a few years ago, and finally able to come back and train here full time. The energy and the community are one of a kind. All of the coaches are wicked knowledgeable and push you to your best, and always have ways to modify workouts as needed for anyones fitness level 💪

When looking at a scale losing 6lbs in three months doesnt seem like a great accomplishment. Especially after losing 20 pounds from the last year 2018 to the beginning of this year January 2019. Some individuals may get frustrated and ignore all the progress that has been made. At my three-month assessment this past week, I figured out I am one of these types of individuals. Then when read the results not only did I find out that I wasnt not the father (hahah) but that I lost 8% in body fat, gained 10 POUNDS of lean MASS and lost 23 pounds in fat mass. My running has improved, my ability to move through obstacles has improved dramatically and I am stronger than ever! Today I was able to muscle up the warped wall with ease.All about mindset and today my mindset is so positive because with effort and the most remarkable coaches and facility (MROC) housing the most astonishing teammates I have seen amazing progress in my fitness life and body than I have ever been privileged to witness before. Strong and healthy is beautiful, and right now, I am feeling dropped dead gorgeous.Money worth spent. I have fallen in love with this place. The workouts are always new. You feel like you get one-on-one attention from the coaches. Learn new skills and improve on old ones. I was looking for a place to make friends and build a community here in Oceanside since moving a year ago. Never found a place like this ever before. It is my second home. I have been making some great friends and have gained strength, endurance, and self-confident. If you are ever looking for any of the attributes I have mentioned above you will not find it any other place like you find it at MROC.

Went there on the open gym day and honestly could not have had a better experience. Both of the present coaches were extremely friendly and helpful. I was there for an hour and a half and every bit of it was challenging, but fun. If you want a new way to train and enjoy yourself, go to an open gym day and try this out.

If you’re serious about getting in shape, there’s nothing out there like MROC. Gyms are boring and monotonous. MROC is fun, exciting, challenging, and you’ll be part of a great community that pushes you, encourages you, and helps you be better in every way.

Traveled 2 hours to get here. Oh boy was it worth it. had everything i needed to get the ninja workout i needed. But this facility is way more than Ninja, i think they had every fitness modality one could ever want. The trainer had a couple great techniques to help me conquer my weak areas. The facilty was super clean, super organized. Asked my husband if we could move closer. Best gym ever!.

Great group training facility and concept. Resembles a crossfit routine with the addition of obstacles. People of all shapes, sizes,colors and backgrounds. Workouts are intense, but they provide variations for all skill sets. Trainers care about each persons goals and form and take the time to listen and interact (not on autopilot). Great place.

I recently moved to the area and was searching for a gym that could help me train for my first Hyrox race, but also a gym that would be able to better my overall fitness. MROC not only meets those expectations, but it goes above and beyond. It literally has everything you could ever ask for. Strength and conditioning team training. Obstacle courses to train you for both spartan and hyrox races, open gym hours, and overall it’s just a gym that you can feel confident in. On top of that, the coaches and members are absolutely awesome. You will be welcomed with open arms. Come check it out and see for yourself!
