Wendy pushed me in the right ways today! I’m trying to get back into challenging myself workout-wise since I’ve been sick and my body has been protesting in other ways. During the overhead squats (OHSQs), Wendy coached me to focus on crunching my ribs down, which helped me have proper form. While on the bike, she didn’t let me slack too much. It’s invaluable to have a coach who knows exactly how hard to push you and when to hold back. Wendy’s expertise allowed for the workout to feel challenging but doable, which is exactly what I needed. Thanks, Wendy!

Jen coaching is one of my favorite aspects of being a member at CrossFit JAX. She has an innate ability to connect with people by genuinely listening and responding to each athlete’s needs. During class, she carefully watches form and offers clear, easy-to-understand cues that help me improve without feeling overwhelmed. She breaks down complex movements in a way that makes them approachable, and her energy keeps the atmosphere lively and motivating. Jen makes the environment fun by encouraging everyone with a smile and a bit of humor, which turns tough workouts into sessions I look forward to. She is truly an asset to the gym, and I am grateful for each class I get to train with her!

CrossFit Jax feels like home from the moment you walk in. Wendy has been great since the very first time I had her as a coach. She takes the time to really get to know you - your strengths, your weaknesses, and how you respond to different workouts. During sessions, she carefully watches your form and adjusts your weight or movements to challenge you just enough without risking injury. She knows exactly when to push you harder, especially on those days when you might be holding back, and when to encourage you to keep going. Her coaching style is very encouraging and down to earth, which makes every workout feel achievable and motivating rather than intimidating. I love how she creates a space at CrossFit JAX where you feel supported but also challenged, making each training session something I look forward to.

I am old and very out of shape, and my son attends daily and is in phenomenal shape so I was worried. Meghan paid special attention to ensure modifications that fit my abilities perfectly - she carefully adjusted exercises, suggesting alternatives that didn’t strain me but still challenged my limits. Her encouragement and constant check-ins made me feel supported throughout the entire workout. Everyone at CrossFit JAX made me feel so welcome; the atmosphere is warm and accepting, with people genuinely happy to see you and ready to help. It’s not just about working out here - it’s about feeling part of a community that lifts you up no matter your starting point.

Other than the bike i loved todays workout. The coaching was spot on. You hit all the important points and got us well warmed up for the main event. In addition to all the information you provide, the encouragement is what makes us work harder than we would on our own. Thank you One legged squats are so important for knee stability.

Wendy always does well. Her teaching background comes out, or maybe it is just her nature that led her to become a teacher. Either way you know Wendy is watching and attentive.

Wendy did great and had a good presence during the workout. The only thing that made me think twice was the part about mechanics consistently and then intensity. Although very important for a coach to not only understand but also implement, I don’t think this is something that the clients really care about or need to know. Now I know this I very small, but I believe that the information put out by the coach should be practical and of use to the clients on their fitness journey. Just a suggestion but overall great class!
