Missy tailors the class to all of needs, injuries and abilities. I came today after having back pain for a week. She recommended backing down on weights and just moving! I don’t think this class aged 50-80+ could have a better instructor and coach!

Jess is always very friendly and positive. She explains the workout clearly and goes over any questions that may be asked. During the workout she is very attentive and helpful. No matter where you are in your workout journey, Jess is always the first one to cheer you on.

Laurie is always great. I rely on her and all the coaches to keep me from hurting myself. She is always watching my form and checks in to make sure I don’t go too heavy.

Great! For the rundown she explains things clearly and is also aware of who is in the class and if more a thorough explanation is needed. I’ve always appreciated too during the warm up she goes around to each person and asks what their plan is while she already has a good idea of what each person is capable of. She also listens well to how you’re feeling that day. She is encouraging during the workouts and also a very personable person.

As always, Missy is most encouraging and explains everything very well. Some of us need modifications and her suggestions are excellent. She is the best coach for our group and I hope she stays a long time :)

Joe is a very knowledgeable Coach who is able to articulate proper technique. I also enjoy him pushing athletes during the workout beyond what they think they are capable of.

Casey is incredibly knowledgeable, supportive and motivates me to try harder in each and every class. She makes CrossFit classes more than a just a workout, she brings fun, energy and laughs to each and every class!

Cue to focus on continuing to breath- sounds simple, but was very helpful to get through the barbell movements, especially at the end of the WOD.

Today's class was no different than previous classes coached by Missy. She is consistently on the ball, and is careful to customize the exercises to each individual's abilities. Given my chronic pain etc., I wouldn't go to class as often as I do, if I was left to muddle through the set exercises on my own. Even with setbacks caused by life outside of the gym, I have gained in strength and flexibility under Missy's guidance. These improvements mean a great deal to me. I am grateful to have her as our coach.

KC is absolutely top-notch! She pushes you without being overbearing, knows exactly how to scale workouts for every level, and truly cares about your progress. I’ve gotten stronger, more confident, and look forward to training.

Brings the energy everyday, you can fake enthusiasm but not passion...and he has a passion for helping others achieve success in the gym with a keen eye for cues to improve movement, techniques, and if needed, attitude and effort in a positive and non-confrontational manner.He has a wealth of technical knowledge with the ability to translate it to any level of skill or experience.
