Sometimes I’m super nervous walking into class. I worry that I won’t be able to perform, but Jeffries’s coaching and encouragement always get me there. His methodical way of fixing every technical move helps us all succeed at whatever level we are at.

Coach Jeffrey is amazing! He’s great at offering modifications that still challenge me but fit exactly what my body needs and can tolerate on any given day. During workouts at CrossFit AFK, he carefully observes my form and makes adjustments as needed which always help. His corrections are always helpful, pointing out small changes that make a big difference, yet they never feel discouraging or like I’m falling short. I leave sessions feeling both challenged and supported. I’m excited to continue training!

Jeffrey is an amazing coach! During workouts, just when I’m ready to give up because my muscles are burning and my energy is fading, he’s right there beside me, motivating me to keep going. He notices when my form starts to slip and offers quick adjustments that help me push through without risking injury. His encouragement isn’t just words - it’s the kind that makes you feel like you really can finish that last round or hit that final rep. Having him there at CrossFit AFK transforms tough sessions into challenges I actually look forward to facing.

Jeffrey offers clear instruction and makes thoughtful corrections to form while keeping the feedback and motivation positive and encouraging. He does an excellent job explaining the broader focus for the week along with a detailed breakdown of each day’s workout. The structure helps everyone understand the purpose behind the programming. Classes start and end on time, with enough room for proper warm-ups, workouts, and cool-downs. The programming is well balanced between upper and lower body. The environment is welcoming, positive, and community-oriented. The culture in classes is friendly and supportive, making them motivating to attend.

It’s ALWAYS a joy to see Jeffrey at the 5am class, he goes thru every movement we will be doing in the workout during warmups to make sure we are educated to scale if needed. He also throws in little bit of humor 😊 he makes it fun to be in his class even when I’m crying about doing Cardio and he gives me the perfect level of push I need to make it thru each class. I absolutely love starting my days at CROSSFIT AFK

Courtney did a fantastic job. She made sure she came up to each of us to correct our posture while motivating us to push ourselves harder. She also did a great job at applauding us while doing the workouts!! I mainly appreciate her taking the time to come to us one on one during the workout to make sure we’re doing good and help us if need be! I tend to forget easily & can have a hard time knowing how and where to stand and what exactly to do unless I’m shown a few times. In which she didn’t make me feel bad or silly for needing help. She just helped me and then applauded me afterwards. Made me feel great:)
