Unleash Your Potential with DEFCON Athletics

ABOUT US

DEFCON Athletics, established in 2012 and located in beautiful Montrose, is a private boutique training facility offering both individualized personal training and group fitness classes for people from all walks of life. As the first fitness studio in Montrose, CA, we’re proud to serve our local community as well as La Crescenta, La Cañada, Glendale, and Pasadena.

Our experienced coaches will guide you through every movement and workout with a focus on safety, form, and results. Whether you’re a beginner taking your first steps into fitness or a seasoned athlete preparing for competition, we create an environment where you can achieve your personal health and performance goals.

At DEFCON Athletics, our group classes are built around three core programs:

• Hybrid – A powerful blend of functional strength training and conditioning. Perfect for building overall fitness and a favorite for HYROX race preparation.

• Athletics – Focused on speed, agility, and power to help you move like an athlete and perform better in sport, life, and competition.

• FLEX – Functional bodybuilding with a pure weight-training focus. Ideal for muscle growth, improved balance, and joint-friendly strength development without high-intensity conditioning.

Many of our members train for HYROX competitions, using our programs to prepare for race-day demands while avoiding the heavy Olympic lifts found in other styles of training. Think of it as the variety and challenge of CrossFit—without the high-risk movements—tailored for long-term progress and durability.

For those who prefer a more personal touch, we also offer private training sessions tailored to your unique needs, along with nutrition consulting and body composition assessments to keep your progress on track. Whether in a group or one-on-one, you’ll find yourself surrounded by like-minded individuals in a supportive community that will keep you motivated and inspired.

Historically, from the time we first opened our doors in 2012, we built a community of people of various ethnicities, ages, fitness levels, and walks of life who all had a common goal to be healthier and live better every day. Our classes provide an environment of camaraderie, community, and fun! At DEFCON Athletics, we take our athletes’ safety seriously and support our athletes in achieving their fitness goals safely.
