Great class and energy from Sebastian. Amazing facility with lots of space, high ceilings and great equipment!
Jerryl is always helpful at getting us going and prepared for the strength and conditioning.
Jerryl is an excellent coach. Even in large classes, he focuses on individual needs and provides a fun and challenging environment. Best class in the area by far.
Salem was awesome. Supportive with all the athletes and she gave great advice. I finally learned the proper way to do a certain movement efficiently.
Sebastian keeps the class fun and energetic, even when we're suffering in an Internet workout! He's very relatable.
Had so much fun! Workout was intense but not overly challenging to the point of exhaustion!
Sebastian is encouraging and also knows when to challenge me to push harder. He adjusts to each individual and keeps class fun.
Awesome coaching this morning. Really great flow of warmup mixed with skill work before the workout. Always enjoy dropping in!
The best welcoming coach and place, like all the coach, I really appreciate and missed you❤️

Sebastian is a great coach. He is supportive and provides excellent feedback.
Best coach I have ever had
Great coaching and engagement. Super positive attitude and always willing to help 1 on 1 when needed.
Love Cory’s coaching. Good workouts. Good motivation. Pushing me but not breaking me 😂
Instructor and people were very encouraging and welcoming. Had a great time!
Addison is an awesome coach. She ran a great class!
Sebastian is possibly (probably) the best coach I've ever had. His expertise in not just the prescribed workouts but adjusting or entirely adapting movements to work within our abilities and limitations is phenomenal! His classes are fun, he honors everyone in class, and he is quick to notice if anyone is even slightly off. Sebastian has created an environment where I'm more disappointed to miss a day at the gym than I am to miss any other event that may take place of a workout. Come for the workout, stay for the coaches and community.
Sebastian is a great coach. He is very good at keeping the energy in the group up. He balances funny commentary with accurate movement instruction.
Great atmosphere! Loved the people and coach. He did all the modifications for my injuries I’d need and the workout made me feel great!
Jerry i
Love working out with Sebastian. He’s always upbeat. Great at explaining how to perform the exercises and making adjustments so that I get a great workout
Sebastain is a great coach. He makes the class fun while at the same time keeping an eye on the entire class makeing modifications when necessary and providing gentle reminders when we start cutting corners. His high level of energy and technical knowledge always make me feel like I get 100% out of every class.
Today was absolutely awesome. The coaches the people just the whole vibe in the gym is it’s just the best I couldn’t wait to sign up.
Emma is great! Very helpful and aware of everyone in the class!
Five Stars! Coaches are knowledgeable, outgoing and fun! All you have to do is show up with a good attitude and they take care of the rest.
Sebastian is such an attentive coach. Through out the workout he will check in, discuss scaling options if form is breaking down and will push members to get the stimulus intended.
Sebastian is always knowledgeable with modifications. He brings great energy to classes and is kind and welcoming!
Cory is very knowledgeable and always does a great job!!!
Jerry is very encouraging and helpful. He meets people at their fitness level and finds difficult modifications. 10/10!
Cory is an American hero turning the people of Black Goat into jacked model citizens
Jerryl was helpful as always today especially with teaching and coaching more difficult jump roping skills
Jerryl is supportive, energetic, and tries to give everyone feedback on their form. He
Great warmup, great queues mid-workout, and class was run on time. Couldn't ask for a better coach!
Great workout and super friendly staff. Impressive facility with everything you need!
Sebastian is an excellent coach, very encouraging and helpful! It’s been many months, years actually since I’ve been in a CrossFit type gym and I had to power through the intimidation of getting started again. But I’m so glad I did. He and the other coaches I’ve met are very welcoming and have made it such an enjoyable experience. Yes, it’s a bit painful right now, yet I feel incredible after each workout, physically and mentally. So glad someone recommended I check out Black Goat!
Amazing classes!
Coach Cory not only brings his sense of humor to class but is a wealth of information. He provides many scaling options to meet you where you are in your health and fitness journey that will help prevent injury. He continually shares his nutrition and technique expertise with his class participants. The combination of scaling through graded exposure with the pointers on technique help participants make gains and achieve their fitness goals.
Cory is an incredible coach. He’s highly knowledgeable, respectful and makes all classes very enjoyable! He’s an incredible part of BG!
Best class and coach ever!
Great first official day! Cory was very helpful in providing form guidance and was an encouraging coach.
Always so encouraging and kind. Always helps me push past what my perceived limits are. I honestly feel that he is one of the main reasons why I continue to come! He’s my favorite!
Addison challenged me today and it just really meant a lot to me!
This was my first class and everyone was very welcoming and helpful! It was a great class:)
Great class today! Jerryl always does a great job leading class and checking on everyone during the workouts.
Jerryl is the best! Great coaching on pace, form, and intensity.
Class was great today. It was the perfect mix of challenging cardio and dumbbell exercises with much needed stretches to wrap it all up. Sebastian did an excellent job of keeping everyone focused, on track and having fun.
Cory has always been a great coach!
i love this gym. we just started and enjoy the vibe. the workouts are just enough strength and cardio and coach is very supportive.
Addison is an exceptional coach who displays a great working knowledge of fitness, as well as providing in depth instruction and motivation just when you need it most. Thanks!
Jerrly is a great coach! I really enjoy coming to class! He helps me figure out how to modify the workouts best to my ability and because he does that I feel like I get a really good workout every time! It makes it so much easier in the mornings to get up and go to the gym knowing that I’m not going to overdo it and that I will make it through my busy day!
Great as always! Helpful, informative and a fun class
Sebastian is the best coach! He is motivating, inspiring and a great presence in the gym.
Great warm up, directly related to the workout. Very direct tips and advice on form. Great workout and I have things to help with skills in the future
Cory Neel is an exceptional coach who truly stands out in the gym. His ability to break down every movement in detail ensures you understand each lift and achieve the best possible results. Cory’s attention to technique, combined with his clear and encouraging explanations, makes every session both productive and enjoyable. Beyond his technical expertise, he’s fantastic with people—always approachable, motivating, and genuinely invested in your progress. If you’re looking for someone who brings out your best in the gym, Cory is the one to work with!
Class of 2 today. Very attentive to both of us. Solid warmup. Running across the room to spot both us during the workout. He really put in the effort.
Jerry’s is fantastic! The am you for the personalized help!
She was great! Encouraging, providing coaching tips and fun atmosphere. The entire staff was friendly and went above and beyond to make me feel welcome.
I’m a total newbie to this style of working out and Cory gave me concise and specific instruction for some of the kettle bell movements which really helped me get going as I’m starting from zero. He kept the mood of the class upbeat. My buddy and I had a good time.
“I can’t recommend Cory enough! Their knowledge, dedication, and personalized approach have transformed my fitness journey. Every session is tailored to my specific workouts, and they always push me to achieve more while ensuring proper form and safety. Cory is not just motivating but genuinely cares about my overall well-being. Thanks to his expertise, I’ve seen incredible progress and gained confidence in my workouts. If you’re looking for a trainer who is both professional and encouraging, Cory is the one to go to!”
Great motivating. Got a good stretching today. 👍🏼😀
Jerryl was immediately welcoming and gave us a great workout today! He has a great attitude and was super motivational; would love to do another class soon!
Sebastian was great! He was helpful as always! Encouraged me throughout the entire workout.
Emma always brings the positive energy! Thanks for a great class with a needed push to finish strong!
Great pacing, clear directions, supportive encouragement.
Jerryl’s is a great, personable instructor that helps to meet you where you are at in your fitness needs! I highly recommend!
Awesome. First day back post surgery and Sebastian was on top of tire modifications and encouragement.
Cory did awesome as always! Cory is more than a coach this includes being a flag bearer for the great welcoming and fun culture of the gym!
Awesome workout, great pace and comprehensive modifications. THANKS!
Cory is always so helpful when it comes to form, and learning new skills in the gym. He helps modify movements when needed, and is really encouraging!
Sebastian did a great job and he was very attentive to everyone in the class and made everybody feel at ease. I really enjoyed having him as the coach.
Fun class! really got me hitting 180 bpm and was a really good sweat. gotta work on pull up bars tho lol. loved it, will be coming back!
Joey shows excitement when athletes walk in the door that makes me feel welcomed. I appreciate him sharing why we’re warming up which leads to the work out. Joey is a good observer. Today I told him I was ok doing my workout but he noticed I truly wasn’t and he gave me an alternative for sit-ups and I was able to continue the workout only with no pain.
Cory and Addison were awesome! Super welcoming, knowledgeable and motivating throughout the workout. The group setting and their coaching helps everyone push themselves to the next level. They offer flexible pricing and scheduling options: Monthly memberships, drop in single workouts or 10 single workout punch cards at a discount that can be used for more than one person (a great gift idea). Not to mention, a free trial workout before needing to commit to anything. Awesome place, trainers and members!
Motivating, positive, high energy and encouraging throughout the workout. Great coach, interacts with everyone, responds to questions and has suggestions for modifications.
The class was fun overall. Sebastian had clear instructions and helped with anything we needed help with.
The BEST!
The coaching at Black Goat is amazing! Joey is very knowledgeable and always helpful!
The warm up was perfect for the handstand work and jump rope we would be doing in the metcon. Cory always provides helpful tips and feedback during the warm-up and skill work. He is very knowledgeable and has good insight to help athletes progress. He manages the time well and adjusts easily for large classes or athletes who need modifications.
Cory is the best! Fantastic coaching, been doing CrossFit 10 years and I always learn something new from him.
Cory is an experienced coach with extensive knowledge of functional fitness, Olympic lifting, and gymnastics. I appreciate his advice and coaching. Bring back the Oly class!
Joey is the most amazing coach! He is very professional, confident in his client’s abilities and always has a way to make a gym member feel like they truly belong in the gym and specifically in his class. He always says hello by name to all members of the gym. If Plan A workout does not work for a member, he will go to Plan Z if he has to in order to find the right feel for the workout and he will always explain the benefits of the change. When Joey is not talking the benefits of the workout, he will discuss nutrition ideas. He is very interested in what the gym members do outside the gym and always is talking about opportunities to improve the members lifestyles. If you are wanting to make a life change and want a true partner, Joey is your coach!
Sebastian is such a great coach. I'm just making my way back to lifting and fitness after a very long hiatus (and new to this gym) and he always balances pushing me with helping me meet myself where I need to in order to be able to come back the next day. He's clearly very knowledgeable (for example in regards to finding appropriate modifications) and is encouraging and attentive to newbies as much as he is to more established athletes. Thanks for being a great coach and for making walking through those doors easy!
Jerryl is always helpful and motivating during class. Today he helped me with cues when doing our back squats to help myself stay fully engaged. Overall I enjoy all my classes Jerryl coaches, he’s been very welcoming since I joined this year.
Great workout and good exercises to keep up fitness goals.
Cory is very thorough with his instructions for each part of the workout. This ensures that everyone in class is on the same page which eliminates confusion. He is very intentional about doing a question of the day to get to know all of the members! He is also attentive and helps everyone feel safe and productive.
Jerry is always great, super encouraging and motivating, and always willing to offer helpful pointers on where and how you can improve to be at your best!
Jerryl is an amazing coach. I love his effort, enthusiasm, and the all around encouraging atmosphere that he provides. Ever morning I look forward to his iconic GOOOO-AAA when we start the workout.
Cory is awesome. Does an amazing job of explain options and rooting folks on. He runs a timely class and always answers any questions I have.
Always super encouraging, gives good advice on technique and strategy, knows just how hard he can push you, and always believes you’re capable of just a little bit more than you think you are. Hands down, one of the best coaches out there!
