Kenneth is such an awesome coach. Very good teacher and enthusiastic. He makes you want to do the things you don’t want to do!
Coach was awesome !! Helped me improve my technique on my skipping pull ups( first time I’ve done one 😂). The group wa sheet and super friendly. Loved the work out and the sweat that followed !!
Everybody was extremely welcoming and uplifting. This was my first time and I felt like I’d already been there. They make accommodations for you if you’re new and they really push you. I promise you are gonna want to go back!!!
I love the warm ups. Cool way to do them. 4x10 bench was a challenge. Been a while since I did that many reps. Good to get a gauge of my strength. Tottenham Hotspur - smoked my chest and arms. And I loved every second. I really like the Mayhem programming.
Ken is awesome. Mayhem is tough. Now I’m sore. 😄💪🏼🏋️
Today was awesome! The workout at CrossFit Amis combined challenging movements like box jumps and kettlebell swings that really tested my endurance and strength. Jason kept a close eye on everyone’s form, offering helpful corrections and encouragement throughout the session. I felt pushed but in a way that made the experience fun rather than overwhelming. The energy in the gym was motivating, and finishing the workout left me feeling accomplished and ready for whatever the day throws at me. It’s clear that Jason’s coaching makes a big difference in how effective and enjoyable the workout is.
From the first day I walked in, everyone at this gym made me feel like part of the family. The atmosphere is so positive and welcoming — it’s honestly one of the friendliest gyms I’ve ever been to. The coaches are amazing; they really care about your progress and take the time to help you improve. You can tell they’re genuinely invested in seeing you grow as an athlete. Whether you’re brand new or experienced, this is the kind of place where you’ll feel supported, motivated, and right at home.
Class was great! Coach gave insightful directions and a clear plan for the workout! I’m just getting back to it so no pressure at all and the workout was a good start to getting back!
Really appreciated Ken's flexibility adapting the workout due to inclement weather, and close coaching and encouragement today (and as always!!). Thanks Coach!!
Always a good time and great workout. Super coaches and overall environment!
Love this gym! Mike is a fantastic coach/owner, the workouts are challenging and fun, and the community is amazing. Highly recommend!
I really love Crossfit Amis! The community and all of the coaches are so extremely knowledgeable and helpful. They go out of their way to give you tips and tricks to improve your lifting, mobility or anything you may be having issues with! I could not recommend these ladies and gents any more! I love my Amis family and wouldn’t trade them for the world! I would like to give a special thanks to Mr. Mike and Mrs. Hope for welcoming me into the gym with generous arms. Thank you all so much nothing go unnoticed!
Mike is a wonderful coach & I always enjoy my time at Amis!
Excellent coach! Explains the details of the workout and great motivator during!
Jason was great today, as usual! Very helpful and uplifting!
The coach was great!! I really liked that he made sure that everyone had the correct form, and helped me to get the right form. He was the perfect amount of encouragement. He wasn’t pestering, but also when he could tell each person was struggling he would give encouragement. All of the patrons were so kind and welcoming and it was a great atmosphere!
10/10. Would recommend.
Really appreciate the support and feedback back throughout the morning!
Mike is awesome, he pushes me to stay consistent and in the classes he’s intelligent about movement and form, while still pushes for a good tough workout.
Kenneth is always attentive to the entire class and makes sure that proper form and technique is used for lifting. Great coach and mentor 👊🏼
Coach Mike did a great job laying out the workout clearly at the beginning, which helped set the tone and ease any confusion. I appreciated how he integrated movement demos right into the warm-up — it made everything feel more fluid. Throughout the workout, he checked for proper form and offered encouragement. Friendly energy and approachable presence overall — made the first day back feel motivating!
Class was great! Everyone was very friendly and great to meet! And we had a good workout!
I had a great workout Saturday at CrossFit Amis, detailed and knowledgeable coaching and a great community
Great coaching. It was a small class, so the flow was great, warmup was thorough, and coaching through movements was really solid. I have an injury, and Lizzy walked me through my options.
Gareth did a great job of breaking everything down for me. I can’t wait to go back tomorrow!
Lizzy was extremely informative and helpful. Being new to CrossFit I felt comfortable with throughout the class.
Did a drop in coming in from South Dakota. Friendly staff and great location!
What I appreciate is
Kenneth was Great and helped me tremendously through my first CrossFit workout. Very encouraging and helpful
Coach Mike knows how to inspire his Amis members. He knows when someone needs that face to face motivation or the let them push through approach. I'm more of the latter. That motivation has helped me progress in my functional strength these past 2 plus years!
Great coach! He was very good at explaining things and encouraging us along the way!
Oh I love it I’m excited nice people I’m ready to keep going..
Kenneth was warm and welcoming! He did a great job of overviewing what all the class entailed as well as emphasizing points of performance in each movement and clearly communicating standards. Great time management as well as class structure in making sure implements used in class were set up in a way to created a safe environment in a large class.
Really enjoyed my time at CrossFit Amis! The coaches and everyone there were super kind and welcoming every step of the way. Great workout!
Awesome coach, explained workout well and was great at giving advice on the lifts. Was a great help with our 1 yr old as well!
From the start he has made me feel welcome and is solid with his recommendations or modifications. Great experience!
Michael always has a positive attitude and challenges me everyday. Thanks Michael. Glad to be a part of CrossFit Amis.
Mike thoroughly went over the warmup and work exercises then also coached through the workout. Great overall experience.
Kenneth was excellent as always!
Great!
Great coach! Always pushing me to do my best!
What a great class today. Dr. Landreneau was spotted on with advice related to our deadlift technique. Also, the music was dynamic. Dr. Landreneau is very consistent with the training we are getting from our coaching staff at Amis. Thank you Amis for forging ELITE FITNESS with ELITE COACHING. JAY!
My CrossFit experience was nothing short of amazing! Despite the chilly weather, it was nothing we couldn’t handle. The class was well-structured, and as always, the workout was both challenging and rewarding. Coach Mike is an incredible mentor—always encouraging, supportive, and dedicated to helping us improve. From refining our technique to keeping us motivated, he ensures everyone feels confident in pushing their limits. One of the best parts of CrossFit Amis is the sense of community. The members truly feel like a team, always cheering each other on and offering support every step of the way. It’s an environment that pushes you to be your best while feeling like you're part of something bigger. Looking forward to the next class!
Kenneth is very helpful during the class. Always cheering us on and helping us with our form.
Great coach! Offered feedback and praise 👏
Ken, great WOD today. Keeping pushing us to the next level. I like the results.
Great class Kenneth is great!
Mike does a great job coaching. He keeps the group moving and makes sure everyone understands what’s going on. He’s also very considerate to adapt movements to best suit individual athletes.
Awesome! Very informative on what to do, what the programming is expecting and corrected athletes when moving improperly.
Good as usual for a 5 AM session.
Wonderful class with encouraging and knowledgeable coach!
Great job today!!
He pushed me beyond where I wanted to go. I love him for that. I’m always looking for the easy way out and he knows it. He pushes me every time. I’m grateful for him.
He was welcoming and helpful. I appreciated his advice during the wod to make some of the movements more effecient.
I had a great experience at my first CrossFit class. Everyone was welcoming and nobody judges you. I made a new friend and the coaches are really nice and really explain how to lift properly. So glad I made the choice to try it out!
Thank you for welcoming us today, Kenneth! We had a great time + can’t wait to visit again!
Dynamite as always
Excellent Class!
First CrossFit workout ever. It was great. Really pushed my limits.
Great workout!
Michael was great! He is a patient, yet motivating. Hope to be back soon:)
Always great!! Love the gym so much. My abs are sore today and I really want to focus on abs right now so well done.
Ken did a great job today taking the time gto go over the technique and demonstrate it properly. He also corrected bad form
Kenneth's instructions for the class were excellent. He has provided excellent guidance every time I've attended a class. He does need to speak louder at times, especially with music playing in the background. I have trouble hearing him but that could be my hearing. My suggestion is to turn the music off during WOD explanation and stretching or warming up. Music during the WOD is certainly appreciated.
He was invested. Just the right amount of push to piss me off. 😆
💯Great job
First time with him as an instructor ,you would never know we didn’t know each other before today ! Great spirit and good vibe , I enjoyed him pointing out everyone’s little accomplishments that makes a difference, also cheering us on !!!
Great class workout as always
Ken was great today as always, very personable and informative. Ken does a great job helping out with form and technique. I always leave his class with more knowledge than when I started.
I love coming to CrossFit Amis! The coaches are great and do a great job of accommodating all skill levels. I also really love how friendly everyone is!
Always very knowledgeable and demonstrates each movement before we start. Great attitude and I continue to learn from Kenneth
Great drop in session…
Incredible as always!!!!!!!
