This gym is fantastic and the owner truly cares about your wants and needs in regards to fitness! Nicole does an AMAZING job at modifying workouts so all fitness levels can participate and feel like they had a good workout. Additionally, she does great at supporting you in regards to nutrition. I have lost 2 percent body fat and have a better understanding of what I should be eating and when. Highly recommend EWB!!!!!
EWB is one of the best decisions we've made for our health. We'd gotten busy with work and I was feeling like my best fitness days were behind me. After nine months of working out with Nicole and her crew, I'm in the best shape in over a decade.
My boyfriend signed up for personal training with Jonathan a few months ago. Jonathan took the time to design a customized plan tailored to our needs. His expertise and professionalism allowed me to push my boundaries while prioritizing my safety and preventing injuries.
Now, we regularly participate in cardio, strength, and LIIT classes at EWB multiple times a week. The small class sizes allow our instructors, Nicole and Paul, to provide individual attention and guidance to each of us. I have a cranky back and shoulders from hours working at a computer everyday. And their guidance on form has helped improve my posture and remain pain free as I get stronger.
All the instructors bring great energy, which helps keep us motivated even in early morning classes. They challenge us while also ensuring we feel comfortable.
I can't recommend EWB enough!
This is one of the only fitness studios I enjoy going to, specifically the strength and low intensity strength classes. The studio and instructors are friendly, welcoming, and you never feel intimidated taking a class here. Although weights (and sometimes TRX) are always used, every class is never the exact same formula, so you never get bored. I highly recommend this studio for any fitness level.
Nicole is over the top knowledgeable about what she does. Recently moved to San Diego from New York and found Nicole. I have been struggling with a piriformis, IT band injury that has kept me sidelined for a few years.She is far superior to the physical therapist I was seeing in New York. With her help, I am now able to walk more than 3 miles a day. Pain free. She is truly a Godsend. She also mixes the personal training sessions up every time to keep it interesting and to focus on strengthening the body overall! Don’t look any further for a trainer. Plus she has yoga and other classes to boot.

Was in San Diego for a Bachelorette Party and we came to Nicole’s studio for some sweating before the wedding. It was such a phenomenal experience all the way around. She brought so much energy to the room and planned a great workout for us to get the endorphins running. Even provided great modifications for me as a 26 week pregnant bridesmaid. Such a fun event for a Bachlorette. Highly recommend Nicole!!!

This was the most fun workout class I've ever done! I went with a bachelorette party and Nicole made all of us feel so welcome and comfortable! She had modifications for every set to adhere to our pace. We felt challenged and also left feeling energized for the day! Thanks so much Nicole!

SO much fun with you ladies! I was honored and feel fortunate to have been the chosen studio 🏋!!
You girls were a pleasure! I knew it was going to be good when you all rolled out of the ubers like a clown car... đźš— :)

I’ve been going to efficient working bodies for a few months and I love it! Every workout is different so I always feel challenged. Nicole is great about making modifications, so if you’re like me and trying to get back into shape it’s actually doable. I never feel judged if I’m not at everyone else’s level in the group class. I highly recommend joining, I’m so glad I found this studio!

Ahhh, Cory! We're so glad your with us🙋🏻‍♀️
We get stronger together!

Just recently joined. Every workout is challenging, different and effective. Nicole is constantly on me about posture during routine exercise, which is exactly what I need. Makes me feel that she actually pays attention to everyone during session. Signing up for classes is super easy and schedule is wide spread. Very convenient. Nicole also has a cool personality making it even more desirable to workout.

Joined this gym with my sister in preparation for my wedding! We signed up for the personal training together and had so much fun. Our trainer, Cassie was amazing and kicked our butts. I would never wake up at 5:45a if it wasn’t for the accountability. I hated working out and now after over 24 personal training sessions I crave it. I never was in great shape and now I am stronger than ever. We also attended their group LIIT class on the weekends and loved it. 10/10 recommend supporting this small business instead of big corporations. Also next door is a great Mexican restaurant with vegan options for after a workout!

I absolutely love working out at EWB! It's a friendly, encouraging small group environment which motivates me to push myself. Nicole is an amazing trainer/cheerleader. In 6+ years of going to EWB, I have never had the same workout twice. So there's no routine fatigue. As she has gotten to know my personal tough spots, she makes custom suggestions for stretches and exercises. She gives her clients personal attention and words of wisdom to keep us on track, motivated and feeling our awesomeness. Going to EWB has changed my relationship with my body, for the better!

Amy, thanks so much for being part of the team!!! But let's be honest, it's your continued dedication to yourself that's truly the magic here!

My husband and I have been working out at EWB for about 6 months, and it's been a wonderful experience. We've gained muscle, lost fat, and built strength - but one of the biggest benefits has been joining the EWB community. Nicole has built a positive and inclusive culture that makes us want to come to the gym. We do a private session with her once a week and attend group classes twice a week - and every time we look forward our workouts. All the trainers at EWB are passionate, motivating and knowledgable - and I love the accountability culture. They really emphasize the importance of listening to your body and making time for yourself - fitness is self care at EWB, not another task to be completed.

The Strength Training classes at EWB are the only workout classes I have been able to stay consistent with. I love the format and that you are able to modify if needed. I’ve become much stronger since beginning workouts here and my form has become a lot better as well!

I just recently found EWB and Nicole and I couldn’t be happier that I did. I find her classes very challenging and her instruction precise and thoughtful. She really pays attention to each student and provides individual feedback and modification if necessary. She is very motivating and keeps the pace fun and varies the workouts so I never get bored. The other instructors are also very good. I have enjoyed every class I have taken and plan to continue for many years to come

I want to start this review by sharing a little background on myself and my fitness journey throughout the years. I am a 42 year old mom of 4 kids, and fitness has always been very important to me, and I have spent many hours in several types of gyms. While each gym was unique, I never felt as though I was getting the instruction I needed to get the results I desperately wanted. In my honest opinion, I always felt like I was just another number willing to pay high dues.
Eight months ago, a good friend invited me to a small neighborhood boutique gym in the Ocean Beach Sunset Cliffs area, called Efficient Working Bodies (EWB). I signed up for a class, and the owner, Nicole asked me to come in a little early to meet with her. She asked me if I had any injuries, what I wanted to achieve, and gave me a little bit of background on what her gym was all about.
I was hooked after the first class. I was in a group with 5 other people, which is a small group and it allowed for Nicole to walk around and make adjustments to everyone’s form, as well as modifications if necessary. I enjoyed the small group setting because it felt like you were getting personal training for a fraction of the cost.
Over the last 8 months, EWB has become my second home. Not only are the workouts incredible, we have a community of people at EWB that support and encourage one another. It does not matter your skill level, Nicole will tailor the workouts to your level. You will never feel uncomfortable walking in her gym, it is an amazing community of people that encourage you and have zero judgement.
I rarely write reviews, but feel so compelled because EWB is unique and if you listen to her, you will see results! Not only will you be stronger, Nicole focuses on the whole body, working on mobility and flexibility as well. She also offers yoga on her outdoor patio, which is amazing! There is so much to offer for such a reasonable price.
The analogy that I like to use when trying to describe EWB is…remember what it was like having a family doctor, and he or she was thorough, dependable, provided care for you, and knew you at a personal level? This is the same treatment you will feel like you are getting at EWB with Nicole. She genuinely cares about every aspect of your health and goes out of her way to help you achieve your goals.

Found this spot near my hotel while visiting San Diego. I had some great workouts during my stay with Nicole. She was very attentive ensuring correct form while keeping the motivation going.

I started with Nicole over two years ago and I will not go anywhere else. Since starting with Nicole, my migraines have decreased significantly, I feel stronger, I look great and I am healthy. I absolutely love her.
Nicolle completely changes up the daily routine so nothing gets boring. Each routine incorporates a full body and mind workout. Classes are challenging but totally doable. Nicole makes all members feel welcome, she never yells or calls people out when they struggle, she gives alternatives workouts for people with aches and pains, and always smiles. Plus her body is on point, just looking at her is motivating. Love love love love love this studio.

I have been going to EWB for several years now and have loved every class I have taken. I have a small injury that requires modifications to a lot of exercises and Nicole is always happy to give me 1:1 attention and feedback. I love the fact that I feel like I am getting an intense workout while still feeling safe. Nicole is also always available for extra questions and/or technique feedback. EWB also offers stretching and yoga classes now that are equally amazing. Highly recommend!
