This was my first class and I felt completely comfortable and very welcome. Marlena was wonderful in explaining everything and how the class would work. She checked on me throughout the whole routine to ensure I was doing okay and was not overdoing it. My workout was modified since it was my first class, yet I still had a great workout!! I will be returning and joining!! Great group of people and very welcoming!!
I liked it! It was a good workout. Josh was great today. Energetic! I like how someone is always watching and correcting form, and I like tracking progress on the app! Everyone is positive and motivate one another. I love Marlena too! I started my journey January 1, 2025, and for the first time in my life, I have stayed consistent and don’t plan to stop. I like how Marlena knows what I can and can’t do, and I like the modifications because I’m surely not to the level of others, at 57. 100 A+ for planning too.
Coach Marlena was very informative about the workout overall and the specific exercises we performed. She was encouraging and supportive, and I appreciated her attention to my form and giving me direction based on what I was doing. It was exactly what I was looking for, and I can’t wait go back!
Since joining CrossFit I have felt healthier and happier! I already love the CrossFit community at BWCF and everyone is extremely welcoming. At first, it was intimidating, but everyone is genuine, sweet, and helpful!! I love it!
Marlena does such a great job teaching each athlete proper form and coaching appropriate dumbbell/ barbell weight choices. No one gets hurt, but everyone gets stronger!
I increased my weight on the bar by putting two 5 pounds on it. We went over form a couple times and corrected my hand placement. Bay-Wave crossfit is always a good workout and great coaches. My gym family! everything can be scaled
I love that I’m able to work out at my pace and ability for my age group. Always feel supported and confident that I am being watched to make sure that I am using the proper technique for each exercise. I am very proud of my progress since starting CrossFit and Marlena is a big part of my success!
Marlena is an awesome coach. She pays close attention to where everyone is at capability wise and makes sure we’re getting pushed but not to the extent of poor form. Her warmups always build up to the WOD and ensure we are learning and practicing proper form throughout the entire session.
Amazing as always
The gym energy was fantastic throughout and really helped set the tone. All coaches were clear in your instruction, making each movement. I walked out of each class feeling challenged in a good way and confident that I’d done things safely and effectively. Looking forward to next time — thank you for a week it was amazing to get back into the gym.
Marlena was great! I definitely will be joining more classes. Thanks
Marlena is dialed in on each individual in the class. Classes have a personal training feel. Each exercise is appropriately scaled based on your ability. Marlena is very good about keeping your ego and pride in check to prevent injuries and ensure growth. Highly encourage all to try BWCF!
Love when Luke coaches. He makes workouts fun and is great at demonstrating all the movements. Always makes sure you know what your doing and doing it right!
Great workout great coaching!!!
Great class … actually ran a majority of the run 🤣
Marlena has coached me for about 5 classes. She does a great job at making sure our form and movements are safe and secure. I like how she breaks down each movement into segments. Helps me do the correct form.
Really loved the attention to form and technique first. Looking forward to tomorrow
Marlena is a wonderful coach! I love the attention to detail to be sure that I’m doing each move properly.
As someone new to crossfit, not in great shape and also 60 years old, having a coach that really works with you, scales you down so the workout is doable makes the difference between being there and not coming back. Great coach!
Marlena is a fantastic coach!! Even when I think my form is good, she’s able to notice the little things and fine tune them. Just dropped in, but wishing I could visit this gym and Marlena more often!!
Marlena does an outstanding job of coaching all levels and skills. She definitely helps to motivate you to do more but safely within your abilities. Like it so much I have my wife going to Bay-wave crossfit now! Also you do not have to be fit to go to crossfit, you go to crossfit to get fit.
I love how detailed oriented the class was. The coach made sure form was correct to prevent any possible injuries!
Marlene was great! I have not done CrossFit in years, but she made my return very comfortable! I would recommend her class for beginners or experienced students.
Marlena was wonderful. She really pushes you but not too far past your limit. She’s great at making sure our body feels great and our minds stay focused on our expectations of how our workout should go.
My first day at BWCF and I’m so impressed! The coach was welcoming, the gym is super clean, and the atmosphere is great. Can’t wait to come back!”
Awesome coaching! It made me feel incredibly confident in myself and helped me push towards my goal. You pay close attention to everything I do and provide guidance when my form isn’t quite right.
Extremely informative and patient! Mrs Marlena is the best coach and makes you want to push yourself.
Marlena is an excellent coach who really cares about her members. During the warmup she takes the time to explain and demonstrate each movement and make corrections or modifications as necessary. During the WOD she pushes you to keep going when you might want to slow down or quit! I love being a part of this gym community!!
As always, Marlena did a phenomenal job of coaching. She’s very personal with everyone and tailors to their needs to grow in a healthy way.
Marlena is amazing and so proud to be apart of BWCF.
Workout today with Marlena was awesome very detailed before we even start our workout.
The gym has a positive, energetic vibe that makes working out fun and encouraging all while kicking your butt!
Marlena is the best hype coach I’ve ever had. She encourages and pushes you throughout the lesson and makes sure you understand the movements.
Marlena is very professional and makes sure everyone is using proper body mechanics to ensure safety!!
I loved the encouragement throughout class! Marlena was ready for us early this morning!
Coach Marlena did so great! She is so intentional with our movement patterns and our weight selection for the workout. She gives us a relevant warm up and nice relaxing cooldown. She always makes sure to ask if anyone has any issue or problem areas, and she does one last recap/check in with everyone before the workout starts. It makes me feel very secure and cared for. She is just the best!!
