Great coaching and welcoming environment! Day 2 and already feeling at home here. Bryan has been awesome, his knowledge and attention to detail with each movement has been very helpful to me to ensure I am doing everything correctly. From the warm ups to the strengths to the workouts, Bryan will make sure you’re pushing yourself but also ensuring your form is all there as well.
I’ve done CrossFit on and off for years, and today’s experience at CrossFit Claddagh was honestly amazing. A small group of us from our old gym (which recently closed) decided to check Claddagh out. Bryan coached the 8:30 class and was super energetic, welcoming, and attentive to all the newcomers, myself included. He really made it clear that his gym is all about creating a comfortable space and making sure everyone feels good and has fun. The workout was exactly what was needed. Can’t wait to go back!
Laura is amazing at customizing workouts as needed - even in a full class of people. She created a unique scaling option for my today as I had a sore wrist. I’ve seen her do this countless times with multiple members. She’ll always make the workout work for you. She’ll challenge you, but will make sure you’re comfortable too. 💚🧡💚🧡
Did a trial class after a 3-year break and it was still just as welcoming as I remembered. The gym was clean, the environment felt supportive, and Laura did an excellent job breaking down the workout and offering modifications when needed. She really pays attention to form and helps you correct it as you go, which made easing back in feel safe and encouraging. Great experience overall!
Coming back after a break can be intimidating, but Bryan made it easy. He made me feel comfortable from the start and truly motivated me. I left feeling confident and excited to continue my fitness journey. Amazing coach!
Workouts are always great here! The way they split each workout into different segments (warm up, stretch, WOD, strength, et cetera) is awesome, especially since I often don't have time to warm up (very important in winter). The coaches help you with form, strategy, questions, and scaling (scaling is cool). I also appreciate it's the kind of gym where everyone supports everyone else, cheers them on, and gets to know each other.
Bryan is great! Always providing guidance and encouragement!
Shayne was really knowledgeable and supportive throughout the class. He helped me to improve my technique on the lift and was really encouraging throughout the workout.
Strongman lifts today were great. Something different that opens up your full body strength awareness. Looking forward to doing more like this in the future.
PR my deadlift even though I’m 47! She just knows what you’re really capable of.
Laura was great at motivating me through a tough workout!
Great coaching style, matched to skill level, incredible atmosphere and FUN! One week in and excited for more!
It was great! Haven’t done one of those workouts in a while so I was a little apprehensive as to what the pace and structure would be like but Bryan made sure to explain everything throughly and answered all my questions. Highly recommend trying it out, if you are looking for something new and want to be part of a tight knit community.
After a year away from the gym, it felt great to be back. There really is no place like CrossFit Claddagh.
It was perfect for us! Coach was great! As a gym owner and coach myself, it is always so nice to be in a class that it run well, on time, informative and the the workout was explained well. Will visit again if we are back in this area!
Laura is incredible, she never makes you feel dumb for not knowing how to do something (which is me, everyday 🤣). After a year and a half, she still reminds you how to properly execute movements while pushing you past your comfort zones. She's also great at reminding you to breath, and describing the stimulus of the workout. Laura embodies the mantra of "builld them up", encouraging every single member to perform their best.
Ben is an outstanding CrossFit coach—patient, knowledgeable, and detail-oriented. He’s helped me make major improvements in my form and technique, always offering clear, practical suggestions that actually stick.
It was a great workout and it was a good amount intensity and room to breathe. Great music choice and amazing personality!
Shayne was awesome and super helpful and welcoming for my drop in visit today!
CrossFit Claddagh is great! I love it so much. Every coach is so knowledgeable, motivating and welcoming! They walk you through every movement, they learn what you are capable of and push you to what you can do. Joining CrossFit was the best decision I made for my mental and physical health!
Great class, so much fun!
Shayne helps make it fun
I’ve had such a great experience at this gym! Bryan is always welcoming and professional, knowledgeable and encouraging. The equipment is clean, well-maintained. The atmosphere is motivating without being intimidating, which makes it a great place for all fitness levels! And of course the music always rocks!
Laura always walks us through the warm ups and keeps on form while providing coaching tips for the exercise. I appreciate the wide range of movements used in the programming and that the gym has all the equipment needed. Highly recommend for anyone looking to increase strength and overall fitness.
Laura’s the best!!!
Laura is the best! She is encouraging and motivating and I always feel great after leaving class. Her teaching is always 10/10
Incredible coach, encouraged to push me but not past my limits
Coach was great!
Laura was amazing! This was my first time trying out CrossFit and she was very helpful. I felt comfortable and welcomed the entire time and I am so sore today 😂 10/10 experience I will be going back and definitely recommending to friends/family/coworkers
Bryan always puts together a great workout. You never leave his class thinking it wasn’t time well spent. It’s challenging but attainable, every single time. And no matter how YOU feel you did - he always says , Good Job. He see’s and knows your effort. It’s a judgement free zone.
Had an amazing introductory class for my first time. Felt like I was apart of group effort immediately. Laura was attentive to teaching me without taking away from the whole class. All and all a great teacher and phenomenal class for a first timer
Always love doing classes very enjoyable and energetic
I thought Shayne did a great job coaching the Saturday morning class. He was able to explain the workout clearly and thoroughly so that everyone in class knew exactly what they had to do! His energetic attitude was also very contagious during such a long workout!
I loved Bryan's style. He was laid back and personable. He made a gruelling workout fun.
Everybody is great and very encouraging to try challenging things. I was finally able to do double-unders for the first time today!
great! it was my first crossfit class and i loved it! bryan was awesome, can’t wait to go back!
Awesome, good energy and instruction. More feedback, either positive or constructive, would be helpful during the wod though. Mid-wod motivation and validation are always nice, sometimes I get lazy when I’m dying lol.
Great experience. Supportive, instructional, and also challenging. A great combo.
Super motivating coach. THE BEST!!!
Shayne is an exceptional Coach . He is both motivating and encouraging, and helps push me to the next level in my mental and fitness journey. He is an excellent trainer who always has a smile on his face with a very engaging personality and a great sense of humor Thank you for the continued push!
Great experience with Shayne
Laura did great! It’s always a pleasure to have her as a coach. She’s encouraging throughout the workout and makes sure everyone is comfortable with the movements before moving on.
Just right for a first go round.
