The coach helped me today by boosting my confidence and providing solid support throughout the workout. They carefully watched my form during each exercise, offering clear guidance to make sure I was doing everything correctly and safely. When I started to doubt myself, the coach’s encouragement kept me focused and motivated to push through the tough moments. This kind of attention made me feel more confident in my abilities and helped me finish strong. It’s rare to find that level of support at CrossFit Gris Gris, and it really makes a difference in how I approach each session here.

Had a drop in today with coach Kendell. She was great! Helped integrating in the class, technique and form and equipment. Really recommend and will be back when in town.

Coach Mike is great. He always keeps the class moving at a steady, energizing pace that never feels rushed or overwhelming. Throughout the session, he provides clear, hands-on instruction on how to make technique and movement more proficient - whether that’s adjusting your grip during a lift, correcting your posture mid-exercise, or breaking down complex movements into manageable steps. His attention to detail helps me feel confident I’m doing each exercise correctly and safely, which has really boosted my progress. The way he guides the class at CrossFit Gris Gris creates a focused but encouraging atmosphere where I’m constantly learning and improving.

Job was very encouraging today! Today’s session highlighted some major (and seemingly “overnight”) progress with the pull ups! Today with band assists—I made it over the bar several times! (5 years since I’ve done that!!) made the atmosphere very chill and I couldn’t have asked for a better start to the week!
