Founded in 2012 by Italian-born certified personal trainer and competitive bodybuilder Mirko D’Angelo, XTR Training is a personal training and nutrition studio at 2949 Garnet Ave in Pacific Beach, 92109. D’Angelo grew up in Rome, where he trained in swimming, soccer, judo, and karate—earning a black belt and winning national karate competitions—before channeling that athletic background into fitness coaching. XTR’s programs are individually designed around each client’s body type, lifestyle, and objectives, with services spanning one-on-one personal training, customized nutrition plans, show preparation for competitive bodybuilders, and online coaching through a dedicated app. The studio has earned a perfect 5.0-star Google rating across 35 reviews, and Nextdoor users have named it a Neighborhood Favorite in five communities including Bird Rock and Carmel Valley. Active clients along this stretch of Garnet also frequent San Diego Fit, which offers open gym access and group classes that complement XTR’s structured personal training approach. D’Angelo provides language assistance in English, Italian, and Spanish, and his reviews consistently highlight his deep knowledge of exercise science, his motivational coaching style, and his genuine investment in each client’s progress. Multiple reviewers describe training with him for two to three years and achieving what they call the best shape of their lives. The facility features free parking, showers, and wheelchair-accessible entrances, and is open weekdays from 5 a.m. to 8 p.m. and Saturdays from 6 a.m. to 3 p.m. Healthy post-training meals are steps away at The Fishery, a seafood market and grill on the same block of Garnet known for its fresh catch and protein-packed plates.
