Best Trainer Ever!. SD Personal Trainer/Crossfit 619 (aka Bootcamp 619) IS a training program to help develop the holistic self. It is NOT for someone looking to hang out or just workout. Chris Keith teaches his clients about fitness, self-respect, personal responsibility, core values, teamwork, respect for the environment, how to choose "nutrient dense" (healthy) foods and so much more!

I LOVE and enjoy workouts with Chris--I look forward to each session. I tried other local "bootcamps" and fitness programs, but they seemed like a chore. I always found myself watching the clock and dreading every single minute of the workouts. I'm so focused and challenged during my sessions I don't even think about the time. I credit my enthusiasm to the set up and design of the workouts. Chris is an amazing coach. He has expanded my exercise repertoire and helped me fitness achieve goals I never dreamed I could accomplish. His sessions are always different. Each training session incorporates a balanced mix between exercises inside of the gym and outside of the gym. There are also opportunities to train at a variety of locations including the Convention Center and DeAnza Cove. Furthermore, not only does Chris teach his clients the proper techniques and form of variety of exercises, he teaches us the theory behind the exercises--why the techniques are effective.

Joining Chris's team was one of the best decisions I've ever made. Chris Keith has high expectations and he challenges his clients. He has helped me become attuned with my personal best. I am the happiest, healthiest, most self-confident and fittest I've ever been in my life.

Ready for a butt kicking?. I had the opportunity to join Bootcamp 619 when there was a deal with Groupon. I figured what the heck, let's give it a try. I'm always up for a challenge, but I wasn't expecting to feel like the contestants on the Biggest Loser! Before visiting Bootcamp 619, I was a runner and did some cardio classes. Nothing will ever compare to the experience that I've had with this group and with Chris Keith. Like others have said, Chris is not there to be your best friend or to waste your work out time by chatting with you. Chris wants us to achieve our optimal goal of being healthy and staying fit. It's not just about losing weight, this training that we get is something that will last a lifetime. Chris is not like other trainers and I've only been coming some March but I feel much stronger. In July, I ran the San Francisco Marathon and who would of thought to PR in this type of marathon? Chris knew that I could- and I did.

Chris believes in you if you believe in yourself. If you're looking for someone to hold your hand and walk you every step of the way, then Crossfit 619 (Bootcamp 619) is definitely not for you.

If you're up for a challenge and have fitness goals, Chris will make sure you accomplish them. Chris knows that I'm capable of more and that's why he pushes me past my comfort zone. All that he asks from me is dedication and determination.

LOOK NO FURTHER!. I have been a member at Crossfit 619 (Bootcamp 619) since April 2009 and honestly believe that joining was one of the best decisions of my life. I had been interested in Chris Keith’s training program for years and had met Chris at several different events throughout San Diego county. Sadly, I had never had the time or courage to join until this year. When a living social deal appeared in March I purchased ten weeks; merely seven weeks into my training I purchased another year! Within my seven months as a bootcamp member I have consistently attended four to five days a week and benefit from the motivation and accountability I feel from Chris and my fellow team members.

In addition to fitness training, I have learned a great deal about nutrition; what foods fuel my body appropriately and why they are necessary for my growth as an athlete. To assist in my personal accountability (and because it is a major part of our program), I keep a daily food journal to track my total calories, protein, fat, and net carbohydrates. I have found this extremely helpful in understanding the composition of the food I eat and it assists me in being mindful about my nutrition. With any fitness program if you want to meet you goals, nutrition is a key component and will be the deciding factor in your progress. Therefore, Chris Keith’s focus on the well rounded athlete is a step above the competitors.

Since beginning my training program I have competed in a 3-person female team with fellow bootcampers at the 2010 MCRD Bootcamp challenge in which we came in 2nd place (XFit619 Girls), I am running the Silver Strand Half Marathon this weekend with other group members, and I am currently signed up for two more half marathons and one full marathon in 2011!!! Without the motivation of Chris Keith and fellow team members I don’t think it would have been possible to stay motivated and achieve all of my various fitness goals! Another aspect that I appreciate is the fact that Chris is sincerely concerned with our development as athletes. For example, I received a message from him earlier today making sure that I am stretching and doing everything necessary to prepare for my race on Sunday. This is above and beyond what I expect from my trainer!

There is no question that Crossfit 619/Bootcamp 619/Chris Keith – SD Personal Trainer is a cut above the rest when it comes to training programs/personal training in San Diego. If you are reading this I hope that you look past the negative personal attacks that others have posted and look at ALL of the great reviews that my fellow teammates have contributed. Take it from people who have really worked the program…if you are ready for a life style change look no further…

Best Thing To Do For Yourself. Chris Keith's Bootcamp 619 workouts are the best thing to do if you honestly want to get in shape. The workouts are not typical, and are very hard. I was sore for longer than I thought was possible. But if you stick with the program, you will end up doing things you didn't think you could.

From the day I started I have been challenged not only to be in better shape physically, but mentally as well. I have always thought of myself as an athlete, but fell out of a fitness routine years ago. Even when I was in (what I thought was) good shape, I would not be able to do what I am doing now. If you are truly committed to this program and getting results, this program will give them to you, quickly, if you put in the effort. It's not easy, but getting in shape isn't either (as I am finding out). It is a constant challenge, but that is actually what I love about it.

It's also very motivating and encouraging to see the same committed people attend almost every single workout, rain or shine, all with a positive attitude. That alone is truly a testament to the quality of the program.

A Way to Success. When I began this program, I was killing myself daily at the gym and getting very minimal results. I was getting frustrated and knew it was time for a serious change. After doing extensive research on Chris Keith, I finally realized that I was ready to take the next step. Since I have joined his program my endurance and energy level have made an amazing turn. I completed 3 marathons last year (Carlsbad, La Jolla, AFC), and also competed in the Marine Corps Bootcamp Challenge. It is amazing how I am continually surprising myself in attaining new levels of accomplishment and finding new goals to achieve.

Great!. I've been a member for about a year and a half and I am still seeing results. My core is so much stronger and my muscles are constantly being challenged each and every time.

Chris always switches up the routine so it's never boring and each workout builds onto the next and works out your entire body. If you are interested in an awesome workout and want to see results - give this a try. You will get what you put into it, just like everything else in life.

Best Decision EVER. Joining Chris Keith’s workout program has been one of the best decisions of my life. I have been going to the 6:00 am workout almost every day for over a year and a half, and I will definitely keep going as long as I can. Here’s why:

1) Chris cares about your success. He pays attention to your progress and your abilities.

2) Chris cares about more than just your physical results. He also emphasizes character, commitment, teamwork, dedication, and attention to detail.

3) Chris knows his stuff. His demonstrations are detailed and informative. He keeps up-to-date on the latest information on fitness, and is continually incorporating new ideas.

4) Chris pushes you to do your best. Mediocrity does not exist.

5) Chris makes you responsible for your own learning and progress.

6) Chris mixes it up! The workouts are always different and fun.

7) The workouts pack a punch! You will be amazed at how much you get done in one hour.

8) Chris sets goals and keeps the motivation going throughout the year.

9) The other people in the program are some of the finest people I have ever met.

10) Chris is always there for you. He puts out his best and expects the best from you. He is a leader by example.

I have never felt better or more confident. Because of Chris Keith I am motivated to set my alarm for 5:10 am every morning so I can get to his workout. If you are serious about staying healthy and happy and about learning sustainable fitness habits, go with Chris Keith.

An Athlete's Program. I have been an athlete since the early age of 2 due to the fact that I had a passion for the art of dance. With that being said, it is very hard for my body to break any plateaus that I may encounter physically. With Chris, I have found that my plateaus are very much a thing of the past. I have a new renewed strength, endurance and athleticism. I never would have thought that I would be a person to be capable of completing a half-marathon, or would even WANT to. I proudly say today that I finished my first half-marathon in 2:16:32!!

Best 'Bootcamp' style workout in San Diego, without question. Bootcamp/Crossfit 619 is an amazing workout. It is intense, high impact strength and cardio training. It's the right atmosphere for a great workout. Again remember, it's Bootcamp -- I'd say it's the only true "Bootcamp" style workout in San Diego. Chris Keith is an excellent instructor, guaranteed the best in the business. He helps you with proper technique and encourages you to get to your fitness goals. In my time in bootcamp, he motivated me to get back into running and I completed 5 half marathons this year alone.

Others try out the other bootcamp style classes around the county, but always seem to come to Chris and say those others weren't for them. You will see great results if you follow his program and stay dedicated. He'll change your entire outlook on life. I highly recommend this program.
