Great gym - very welcoming environment particularly for those new to cross fit. The coaches are just great and really look out for you. They also have a large number of classes which makes it easy to find a time to work out that fits your schedule. The workouts are diverse and challenging - great for all levels of fitness from beginners like me (I can scale to what I can do) or for those far more fit. The difference in my own fitness level after just 7 weeks is simply amazing. Could not recommend this gym more!

I usually dont write reviews because I feel most products and services are self-explanatory. But if this helps then here it goes; ive been interested in joining or doing CrossFit for a while before I actually signed up. I consider the price and that kept me away. Big mistake! Between the programming and the community its worth every cent. Yes, you can do most of the workouts at home with the proper equipment. But the intensity you get from the classes and the coaches are world class.
