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.

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 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!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!!

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!!
