Coach Mia is a powerhouse of positivity and knowledge! Always uplifting and encouraging while breaking down movements with clarity and expertise. I really enjoyed how she incorporated mobility at the end of our workout today! Really seeing that PT aid position come in handy !

I struggle with the front squat and Emily’s demo and specifically mention about keeping my elbows up and not pushing my hips back, like a back squat, was life changing

Conlan is an incredible coach. He is lighthearted, yet knowledgeable. He is calm, yet present, and is always walking around and giving corrections as needed. Today was a great example of that. It was a tough workout and he was so positive and encouraging throughout.

Mia has been amazing since I started CrossFit a couple of months ago. She gives constructive feedback on the spot to help you improve right away. Her workouts are always challenging but make sure it’s safe, and she really pays attention to form and progress. She makes sure to modify it according to fitness level. However, could be more specific on muscles we are working on.

Haha not sure why DJ showed up as the only coach in the form drop down, but sure. Coach Dan was excellent today in a suitable warm up, and had individual feedback catered to our skill and ability during both the strength and pump portions of the workout. I personally appreciated the push and feedback on kipping pull-ups, and how to scale this going forward to continue to challenge myself. Thanks to all the coaches at CFE!

Emily is a fantastic coach! Knowledgeable and controls the chaos even with a giant class. I love how far the gym has come with the new ownership! I’m super pumped on the direction it’s going. My personal preference is workouts with more heavy lifting Olympic lifts etc. and not trying to offend anyone but I think question of the day time can be better spent with movement prep mobility or more warmup.

I can't select Emily as the coach today, from the drop down list. Only DJ. Intentional?? 😀 Coaching today was excellent. Good time management and attention to technique detail. Helped reinforce important technique nuances for deadlift. Emily always does a great job.

CrossFit is new to me. It’s challenging and can be intimidating. The reason I come back every single time is because I have upbeat and truly helpful coach(es)! I like the challenge and Dj is a huge help in making sure I am focused on my form and quality over quantity. Couldn’t be happier anywhere else!
