CrossFit 8 Mile

Kayla has always been an excellent coach. Providing positive feedback and alternate movements as needed. I do enjoy working out when she is coaching. Thanks

Melissa Baker is a fantastic CrossFit coach with a plethora of knowledge in both lifting and musculoskeletal biology. Mellissa holds a state record in powerlifting and a license in massage therapy making her a great candidate for any questions a member may have regarding their fitness or recovery. Thank you CrossFit 8 mile for setting the standard in staff and members throughout this community you truly are a blessing and treasure to behold.

Josh is an excellent coach!! I struggle to say he is my favorite because they all are top tier, but he’s up there ☺️! He is always engaged with the class. Always has a positive attitude and a warm welcome. I appreciate that he spots the slightest areas of form that need correction, he is always encouraging the class and pushing us to dig a little deeper and continue after it. I appreciate him as a coach and a person.

Kayla is a great coach. Very motivating and helped me keep me on track during this tough workout.

I really appreciate Dans technical feedback and the variety of scaling options he provides to get the most out of the workout regardless of capabilities!

The class was a great class. The warmup was thorough in addition to the instructions and form that was expected for each person to accomplish. I thought it was a good class

I’ve taken two classes coached by Ellie, both with larger groups, and I was impressed. She did a great job keeping everyone focused and the class running on time. Even with a full room, she was attentive to each member, offering cues and checking in where needed. You can tell she’s confident, organized, and genuinely paying attention to her athletes.

Mark is a wonderful coach, so patient and knowledgeable! He takes the time to explain each movement clearly and offers helpful cues that improve your form without feeling rushed. During workouts, he carefully watches everyone’s technique and offers adjustments or modifications to match your level, which makes the sessions both challenging and safe. The energy he brings keeps the class motivating but never overwhelming. CrossFit 8 Mile is the best CrossFit gym by far 🏋️‍♂️ The community here stands out - every coach and member is genuinely welcoming and fun to be around, creating an atmosphere where you feel supported from the moment you walk in. Whether you’re new or experienced, it’s a place where working out feels rewarding and enjoyable every time.

Kayla always has a positive, uplifting energy. She is very encouraging and has a very precise and encouraging way of instructing! Seriously a top notch coach!!!

Steve makes every class fun! He does a great job of making sure every single person in class gets the time they need and feedback specific to them so they can continue to improve.

Melissa is always professional, keeps the class moving and has great insight into form on lifts and working around injuries. She is fantastic just like all the coaches at 8 mile!

Today was my first day of year 2026 at CrossFit 8 Mile! I loved the intense workout - it pushed me through a mix of strength training and fast-paced cardio that left my whole body feeling challenged and energized. I’m ready to continue the journey toward strength and endurance. Mark’s a great and amazing coach; he was constantly watching my form, encouraging me to keep going, and adjusting my movements to make sure I was getting the most out of each exercise. I realize now that most of the classes I’ve been to were coached by Mark, and that attention and energy are a big part of why I keep coming back.

I was visiting the area for my son’s hockey tournament. I dropped into CrossFit 8 mile for a couple of workouts and had a great experience. Everyone was super friendly, the programming was great and the coaches were experienced and encouraging. Highly recommend!!

Class went very well. Logistic genius, 16 Crossfitters not bumping into each other!

I

Very friendly and knowledgable. I was looking for feedback specifically on my jerks today and Mark gave exactly that. Still a ways to go but definitely improved the form. Now just got to keep working at it. Thank you!

Mark was the coach today for barbell club. He gave me specific pointers on my technique. I was able to apply each pointer right away, and I noticed immediate improvement in both my stability and power on the next lift. Throughout the class, Mark stayed positive and encouraging to everyone, checking in with individuals and offering helpful feedback without ever making it feel like pressure. His energy created a great environment to work out in - motivating and supportive. I left feeling confident in my progress and excited for my next class with him!

Melissa was great during class. She consistently excels in teaching barbell techniques, carefully watching form and offering clear, step-by-step guidance to help improve. What stood out was how patient and encouraging she is, especially with new athletes who are still learning the basics.

Today’s class was great. Ellie is an amazing coach—she brings such a positive, energetic vibe to every class. I really appreciate how she goes through all the movements before the workout to make sure everyone understands them, and how she keeps an eye on all the class members throughout. She was my first coach at CrossFit, and honestly, I enjoy everything about 8 Mile CrossFit and Ellie’s coaching.

I like all the coaches at 8 Mile, they're all friendly and knowledgeable . It's not easy having a good attitude at 5am, but Mark manages to coach us well. He gets us out on time , and all with a smile I've done nutrition with Mark . He's also programming me bodybuilding I do at home and love. Thanks coach Mark 5 stars from me

The coaches are knowledgeable and always helpful! They safely guide everyone through the workouts while keeping it fun and motivating!

He’s top notch!

I love how Mark is always upbeat, easy smile that let's you know you are in a good place. And he notices the small things, both what you are doing better and what/how you need improve. Mark knows his craft too, very good instructor. Thx coach!

Every class with Mark is amazing! He’s fun, welcoming and knowledgeable. He’s quick with scaling options and pushes just the right amount so I’m getting stronger but never feel like I’m going to get hurt. I'm never disappointed when I see that he’s coaching.

Kayla was incredibly helpful and encouraging today. She took the time to correct my bench press form and gave clear guidance that helped me stop hitting the bar, which made a big difference. As the workout got more tiring, she stayed positive and motivating, pushing us to keep going while still focusing on good technique. Really appreciated her support and coaching today.

Love when Ellie teaches class, she is an amazing coach!

Kayla did an excellent review on how to evaluate and set your dampener on the row machine and was very encouraging for the double unders.

He did a really good pushing workout. It’s sometimes challenging if to many people are doing the class.

Kayla’s a great coach. She takes time to explain each workout and is very supportive and encouraging throughout the entire class.

CrossFit 8 Mile changed how I feel by making me stronger and more confident in my abilities. The coaches push me just enough to improve without overwhelming me. The community here keeps me motivated and accountable, which makes a big difference in sticking to my fitness goals.

Ellie’s coaching cues were on point throughout class. She pointed out subtle adjustments which made a big difference in how smoothly and safely I moved. With every rep, I felt more confident and controlled, which really sharpened my focus and improved my overall performance. What stood out most was how she noticed the exact moment I started to lose rhythm and immediately offered clear, precise cues to bring me back on track. That kind of guidance makes training at CrossFit 8 Mile feel truly effective and personalized, not just a routine workout. It’s clear that CrossFit 8 Mile values quality coaching that helps you improve steadily and safely, making every session feel purposeful and rewarding.

Ellie has the best energy! Always positive and smiling, it is a great way to start the day!

The class was challenging and well-structured. Coach Josh was excellent. I appreciate how you took the time to correct my movements and give individual feedback—it really helps me stay safe and continue progressing. Your guidance and encouragement made a big difference. Thank you for a great class!

Josh helped me on the hand placement for my C2Bs and it improved a lot! Thanks Josh! He also gave me tips on my back squat which also helped since I’m long limbed! lol

Coach Mark is one of the many great coaches at 8 Mile, he’ll challenge you and help you reach your goals.

Huge class. Mark still was able to show all movements and modifications and provide individual attention when needed.

Informative, knowledgeable, motivating, and great music! 😍gotta have that loud music

I truly appreciate how, even though there was such a large class today at CrossFit 8 Mile, Marc was still able to notice that my ASQ were slipping after several sets. He didn’t just mention it - he took the time to come over, observe my form closely, and guide me through corrections right then and there. That attention made a clear difference in how I finished the workout. It felt like he was personally invested in my progress, adjusting my technique to keep me safe and effective despite the group size. It’s rare to get that kind of focused coaching in a big class, and it really stood out to me.

Class was awesome! I love your energy and your instruction! Thank you Ellie for your knowledge, creativity, encouragement and care! Workouts are fun! And I have grown so much!

Kayla’s always super detailed with the movements and finding ways to improve your form.

Challenged me! Encouraged me! Supported me!
