I’ve really enjoyed taking classes with Coach Cory. He detailed movement explanations, thorough warm ups and scaling options suggestions are all appreciated!
I love BRC. Honestly the best workouts with the best people I‘ve ever found. Although I love the CrossFit workouts of course, I find the Pitfire classes tend to be just the right amount of cardio and strength training.
Thoughtful engaging coaching, even in a workout that didn't feature many technical movements. Great people (easily the best in any gym) and awesome facilities, especially the outside area. Only two dogs, but I'm ok with it on account of they're the sweetest.
Great coaching: Positive, constructive and inclusive. Good people there. Love this gym.
The highlight of today's workout was definitely the variety of movements we tackled. The coach guided us through a mix of kettlebell swings, box jumps, and rowing intervals, carefully watching our form and offering adjustments when needed. I felt challenged but supported, especially when the coach noticed my pacing and encouraged me to push just a bit harder. The energy in the gym was motivating without being overwhelming, which made it easier to stay focused throughout. This kind of balanced, attentive coaching is why Blue Republic CrossFit Gym stands out for me - it’s not just about working hard, but working smart and feeling good doing it.
Love this place. Great coaches (all of them) and a great community. Have been coming here two years and hard to imagine my life now without this gym and this community. Love that there are levels for every athlete. You can go hard (or less hard) and feel good.
Cory is great! I am 55 and a total beginner at all of this. Cory is always keeping a watchful eye on everyone and will make sure I’ve got the correct form and will find ways to adapt the workout for me so I don’t injure myself. She is diligent with warm up/cool down stretching - something I tend to forget about. All of the Blue Republic coaches are knowledgeable, encouraging and vigilant regarding safety, which gives me the confidence to try things I figured I was just too old/out of shape to do. Also: Love the playlists! Each coach has a great mix of artists and has their own vibe. As a musician & teacher I’m always appreciative 🙂
Coach Dajun was very welcoming and professional!
Good coaching on good morning form - the coach took the time to watch my posture closely, gently guiding my back and hips into the right alignment so I could feel the difference immediately. During the WOD, the encouragement kept me pushing through each round, especially when the fatigue started to set in; it was motivating without being overwhelming. They also did form checks on my not-so-strict shoulder pressers, catching when I accidentally brought leg drive into the movement.
