CrossFit Lake Wylie

Brad is a very knowledgeable coach who truly stands out for his kindness and patience with every member. In his class at CrossFit Lake Wylie, he takes the time to observe each person’s form closely, offering clear guidance and gentle corrections that help me improve without feeling rushed or overwhelmed. His calm approach creates an encouraging atmosphere where I feel comfortable pushing myself while knowing he’s there to support me every step of the way. I truly enjoy his class because it’s not just about the workout - it’s about feeling seen, challenged, and motivated in a way that keeps me coming back.

The community is amazing and coaches are great :) I recently started and have zero back ground in gymnastics / weight training and all the other stuff ! And I feel included I’ve come so far ! Thank you . Coach RJ and other coaches are great ,patient and ensures you give your best effort even when you are intimidated by the work out , they ensure you overcome that !! Highly recommended.

Alie is a great coach who truly took the time to teach me toes to bar from the ground up. She patiently broke down each movement, carefully showing me how to engage my core and generate an efficient swing. Throughout the sessions, she closely monitored my form, gently correcting my mistakes and adjusting the exercises to fit my current ability. When I struggled with certain parts, Alie offered personalized tips - like shifting my grip or timing my kip - that helped me progress steadily without ever feeling overwhelmed or discouraged. Thanks to her guidance at CrossFit Lake Wylie, I can now confidently perform toes to bar, a skill that felt impossible before. It’s incredibly motivating to have a coach so attentive and invested in your improvement; every workout feels productive and rewarding because of that focused support. CrossFit Lake Wylie stands out because of coaches like Alie who make challenging skills achievable by combining clear, step-by-step instruction with genuine encouragement.

She’s not afraid to correct or give you advice in middle of work out to help improve form and prevent injuries

Greg makes the class fun, and we love the banter with him. He brings a lively energy that keeps everyone engaged, turning tough workouts into something enjoyable rather than daunting. I especially appreciate his guidance to help me improve my form. If he sees I’m doing something incorrectly, he doesn’t just point it out; he provides alternative options tailored to my ability.

Greg always finds a way to motivate you to get “one more rep”.

Alie always does a great job breaking down the workout, giving modifications and keep the class motivated! I also really appreciate advice on how to improve my workout! 7am is the best class because of her!

RJ is exceptional. He has an incredible ability to coach with both insight and genuine care. His feedback is always thoughtful and actionable, and he’s been especially supportive as I’ve worked to stay within a target heart rate zone. His encouragement and attention to my goals have made a real, measurable difference in my progress. I couldn’t ask for a better coach.

Our coach, Greg, strikes the perfect balance of encouragement and challenge. He’s positive, attentive, and thoughtful about safety and the realities of aging bodies, while still helping me progress. I feel confident and capable in his sessions. Thank you!

What’s one personal change you’ve noticed since joining thi

The coach was friendly, outgoing, and paid attention to what I was doing and offered valuable scaling options that fit me as an athlete even though she did not have a long history of knowing what I can and cannot do. I felt very welcomed and a part of the box!

Class is

Coach Brad always pushes me past my comfort zone. Double unders are tough for me but he encouraged me to try attempts and I even hit the goal for one out of five rounds!

Great Coach!

Coach Brad is outstanding. He’s thorough, detail-oriented, and professional from the whiteboard briefing all the way through final stretching. His cues are clear and timely, and you can tell he’s paying attention to every athlete in the room. Classes are well-structured, purposeful, and run with a high standard. Exactly what you want in a coach.

It was my first CrossFit class and I really liked it. The coach was very helpful, explained everything clearly, and made me feel comfortable as a beginner. Definitely coming back to do more crossfit classes!

Always incredible! The energy was high, and the technical cues really helped me . I always feel safe and motivated under Alie guidance." I’m stronger, more confident, and energized. It’s transformed my daily routine and given me a healthy outlet that I look forward to every single day. The supportive community. It’s more than just a place to workout; it’s a family where everyone encourages you to be your best self."

Coach Brad! Thanks so much for making my first day memorable. Truly enjoyed your instruction.

I love CrossFit Lake Wylie! I dropped in recently and was so happy to see Coach Greg leading the class - I immediately knew I was in good hands. I hadn’t done a CrossFit class in months, so I was a bit rusty, but Greg was right there, offering clear, helpful tips and cues to improve my form and keep me safe. Throughout the workout, he checked in on how I was feeling, encouraged me to keep pushing, and motivated me to finish strong. The energy in the gym was uplifting, and Greg’s guidance made the challenging movements feel doable and rewarding. Thank you!!

The coaches and members are always so nice and inviting. All the coaches are great. Alie makes sure to help me improve on my form and always says hello with a smile when I walk in. The classes are fun and we all have a great time while working out. I highly recommend this gym for anyone at any level.

Even though I have a lot of limitations with my shoulder injury we figured out what I could to still participate. It was a great class!

Great coach good warm up well done! Great box great people!!

What’s one way this gym has changed your fitness journey?

Since joining CrossFit Lake Wylie, the biggest change I’ve noticed is in my overall strength and endurance. The coaches really pay attention to your form during lifts and help adjust your technique to prevent injury while maximizing gains. I leave each session feeling stronger and more confident, and it’s clear my body is getting healthier and more resilient. The supportive atmosphere and skilled coaching make it easy to stay motivated and keep progressing week after week.

Brad did a really good job explaining the workout and intended stimulus. He did an even better job helping everyone scale to their ability and managing a tight time frame for the given work.

Tbh, I was grateful to return as I begin my recovery. Friday’s wod was a good one for me, something I could do as I ease back into CrossFit. In the end it was the modifications that made this workout possible. That is what I appreciate about CF as it can be modified to adapt to our fitness level. Thank you for helping me choose the mods for this class!

A fantastic workout and helped me polish my form.

As always, Greg is an amazing Coach! He keeps you engaged & encouraged, all while having fun! Who knew working out could be fun!?

Brad is always in tune with my injury recovery status, my capabilities, and my need to scale. He is always willing to talk thru scaling options, push me when needed, but also know when I’m certain about discomfort and not just avoiding hard work — lol! Thank you, Brad!

I thought the class was run well. Clear instructions and direction for us athletes. We'll done.

Great morning WOD Love the 5 am crew

Yeah! Gregory did great tonight. He knows how much I hate snatches but that didn’t stop him from correcting my form and holding me accountable to it. He’s very patient with me but still gives me that push I need even I don’t show up 100%. Long story short… you did good tonight👍🏾

Alie is the most thoughtful and compassionate owner I have ever met. She takes the time to listen carefully to everyone’s needs and always offers encouragement, whether you’re struggling with a move or just having an off day. I’ve seen her personally adjust workouts and provide helpful tips to improve form, making sure everyone feels safe and confident. Her kindness creates a welcoming atmosphere at CrossFit Lake Wylie that makes you want to come back even when the workouts get tough. Thank you, Alie, for everything you do to make CrossFit Lake Wylie feel like more than just a gym.

Brad always has great energy and is encouraging throughout the workout. He helped me improve my squat clean technique today.

Great coach for any fitness level. Loves what he does and the athletes appreciate it a lot!!!

Brad was great! He helped me find a way to do the workout without flaring my existing back pain.

Brad is a great coach because he has a good eye when I'm off on my form. He is quick to correct me and it's made me more confident when lifting. I also appreciate his humor! Laughing helps me get through each workout.

I am consistently impressed with Coach Wes during our classes. His advice is invaluable, and his extensive knowledge of fitness is evident in every session. He truly stands out as an expert in his field.

Wesley is always attentive and supportive for the members in his classes!

Wes did amazing as always!!! Extremely attentive to cues for every single member in class, counts warm up reps, goes through progressions and checks for injuries prior to! His whiteboard briefs are thorough and informative and he makes sure everyone understands the work out. I love seeing him give other coaches cues too! Always coaching!

RJ was very helpful and it was good working with him.

Coach Christine was great! She noticed that Jazmin and I were having some trouble performing some exercises and she showed us some step back exercises that we could do instead. She focused on our performance and gave us lots of tips 👍

Great class and atmosphere! Christine was welcoming along with other members.

Christine was great! She bought the energy and was super helpful with my form on deadlifts and kettlebell swings. Any time I had a question, she wa there to answer it.

Brad is consistently a great coach and pays attention to minor details. He noticed I didn’t have my fingers closed on the bar this morning during front squat warmup. This kind of monitoring helps reduce risk of injury and is greatly appreciated. Always enjoy Brad’s classes and he’s a great person as well.

Brad was super friendly, encouraging and gave great pointers to help me in my workout!

First time trying CrossFit!!! Alie was AMAZING! I felt supported, encouraged, and challenged the entire class. She also helped me master my first double under! Will be back ASAP! Do yourself a favor and book a session.

Professional, engaging, active, and make new visits feel at home.

Wesley gave thoughtful attention to each individual and even offered me a helpful suggestion to improve my squats, which I truly appreciate. I’m looking forward to continuing my attendance.

Wes was awesome. He helped me with my form and made sure I was comfortable and okay throughout the workout.

It was my first crossfit class. I came in a bit intimidated and nervous but left feeling confident and powerful! Alie was extremely helpful in walking me through the steps, correcting my form, and making me feel a bit invincible. Thank you for a great 1st crossfit experience!

Had a great time running and training. Thanks

(Actually Christine but she’s not listed) Super friendly and inviting/inclusive. Knows her stuff :)

It was excellent. Alie is a great coach, she helps you, she is always aware of your technique and encourages you when you feel that you can't anymore, she also explains each exercise very well, I love her classes.

Every class that Wes has is great !! I really think he is definitely one of the best coaches I have ever had and I’ve had a lot !!!! He understands what we need individually !! I love him!!🏋️👍🏻

Wesley is a great coach! Very knowledgeable about the workouts, scaling, and alternative movements for those who have injuries. Keep it up!

Class was great. Made sure to explain all the movements and the alternates that we could do.

Wesley always helps me to adapt the workout to my skill set and he encourages good form which I appreciate to not get hurt. He has a great knowledge of all the movements we do!

Great gym atmosphere and equipment. Coach Wes was super knowledgeable and supportive. I would definitely recommend CrossFit Lake Wylie to both beginner and experienced crossfitters!

Christine is GREAT! Very patient, attentive, positive, supportive, and brings the upmost encouragement you need to push through the workout.

My trainer Alie was very encouraging, motivational, and supportive throughout the entire class. She was very vocal and engaging, which created a fun, energetic atmosphere that made the workout even more enjoyable. This was only my first official class but all the trainers and everyone working out made it such a welcoming and exciting experience that I already wanted to attend more classes than I originally thought!

This was a great out of body experience. My soul literally left my body. The workout was good but Micah’s coaching was excellent! 😉

I’ve really been enjoying Coach Wes new perspective and energy in class. I respect and appreciate the attention to detail in all the movements. Correct form is my highest priority.

Rachel’s class was great. She gave a couple of excellent cues on the clean & jerk that really helped me out - awesome, thanks!

I really like it. Thanks a lot for helping me.

Coach Alie is an awesome coach! She’s knowledgeable about all the movements and always takes the time to ensure everyone is using the correct form. Her attention to detail has helped me improve my technique and confidence in every workout. On top of that, her classes are always fun, challenging, and full of great energy. You can tell she truly cares about her athletes and wants to see everyone succeed.

Alie was great today! Very encouraging. Kept all of us wanting to push more, and to stay positive throughout.

Good attention and pushes me to try harder

Attentive to all class participants. Focused and engaging. Coach Wes

Brad did a great job helping me work on bar muscle ups and a more efficient kip swing in general. Thanks Brad!!

Greg did an awesome job managing a big group—kept the energy high and gave really helpful cues throughout. It’s always great to work with coaches who know how to push you while keeping form and safety a priority. Appreciate the attention to detail

Micah rocks!

Greg always knows how hard to push you to get the most out of class. He’s motivating and will help you fight to finish the WOD…even if you run out of time!

Best coaching for proper row technique I've ever received, much needed!

Great workout this morning this was my first class and it went great and Brad was helpful and attentive.

Greg is always motivating and pushes you while also keeping things light. Fun to work out in his classes!

Friendly and great

It was awesome. I was very comfortable and it was an inviting environment. Coach Micah was great at describe and demonstrating the workout, as well as encouraging us throughout it. Great experience!!

Alie was so welcoming and friendly when I came during drop in time!

Excellent job today. Adjusting the workout to help everyone get something out of their efforts.

Coach Greg you're great 👍! Your classes are fun, intense, and very dynamic 😀 Thank you!

Brad is a great coach, and is always helping me improve and scale workouts to my level!

Micah was incredible! He was actively involved with everyone. Giving real time feedback and encouragement! Very thorough from start to finish.

Loved it!! Great introduction!! Appreciated all the help!

Great experience from beginning to end. Tarynne greeted me right at the door and made sure that I was signed up for class and signed the waiver. She showed me where all necessary equipment was located. Class was organized, upbeat, and ran smoothly. The ladies in class (Esther, Alison and Dani) were so welcoming. I will definitely be back the next time I’m in town!

TJs classes are always fantastic. Her pacing through the warmup and progressions is spot on and she always spends time connecting individually with each member. She offers simple but effective corrections when needed but doesn’t overdo it, which I appreciate, as I often get overwhelmed when given too many cues at one time. Thanks TJ for your kindness, consistency, and dedication!

As always, TJ provided superb coaching for the 25.2 today. She went above and beyond with extra injury recovery exercises to help my shoulder.

Laurin always crushes coaching the wod’s. Thanks for keep me accountable.

Great class! Did a great job explaining and I felt really welcomed in class! thank you!

I absolutely love Laurin classes and as a coach!! She is always motivating, while pushing you to become stronger!! She definitely deserves more than 5 ⭐️’s

Participated in class with Tarynne. She’s very nice, high energy and obviously highly skilled. She created a great experience for a first timer! CFLW is loaded with friendly, helpful and motivated staff and athletes!! Can’t say enough good things about the experience!

Great class Kept it moving and attentive.

Coach Laurin is amazing.

Coach TJ professionalism and knowledge goes above and beyond. She makes classes fun and challenging at the same time, she pushes me to do better and I LOVE coming to her classes.

The class was fun and she helped with my chest 2 bar.

Today’s class was super hard but doable! Thanks, Laurin for always making it great!!

Great class as always. Gives great tips that help me improve my strength and perform my exercises in a more effective way.

Had my first class at CFLW and the class was very welcoming. Greg did a great job warming us up, walking through the technique for every movement, and then encouraging everyone to stretch as a cool down. I’m glad I’ve joined what I can tell is a great community.

Greg was great! He helped me with my Thruster form timing. I was pushing too early. His instructions through the beginning were very helpful to put the lift together. Everyone was laughing and we had a lot of fun. Highly recommend CrossFit Lake Wylie.

Greg is awesome and very helpful!

Brad is engaged with each athlete throughout class. He makes sure each of us have great form and provides feedback so we leave better than we arrived.

Brad is a very knowledgeable and motivating Coach. I really love the emphasis on form and feedback that he provides. Great class as always!!

Well guided and friendly coach

Coach TJ did GREAT during CHAD… thank you coach!

Super fun and high energy!

Tango Juliet did a phenomenal job of reviewing and demonstrating a complicated complex. Plenty of emphasis on good form and eager to fine tune participants execution. I’ll be back 😊

Great communication and direction throughout the workout. Will def be back.

Awesome workout and great instruction of what to do as a first timer! I greatly appreciated the coaching on form and encouragement throughout the workout.

Wonderful! Micah gave me one on one time when coaching the whole team and tweaked my stance and the way I did workouts. Felt welcomed and had fun

She did amazing , I’m a newbie and she was welcoming , helped me not hurt myself on the bar lifting bc I was struggling at first . She didn’t make fun of me so I felt like more comfortable to make a mistake and try harder to learn even if I felt outta place bc I was not on the level like others . The only thing I would suggest is to have 1 mirror on the side for ppl like me who have trouble with my posture … I felt like I was doing it right at times and had to be corrected a lot bc I really didn’t have the move down. But I was helped and overall successful at doing the posture properly without hurting myself . Thankyou ! I’d like to visit again oneday when my schedule allows .

Laurin always has a smile on her face coaching and practice what she preaches. I appreciate here enthusiasm when I can’t always bring it myself.

Great class and everyone was very welcoming!

Laurin is always great！！

Amazing

Alie is the guru. She knows how to motivate and helps achieve the goals. I love Alie’s classes. Today I did my first box jump ever. I couldn’t have done it if Alie hadn’t pushed me. thank you sooooo much. Love you Alie 🥰🥰Hope your hand gets better soon …

Great workout today! As always Laurin is meticulous in demonstrating proper lifting techniques and also being aware that our Masters Class athletes may need extra scaling.

TJ always has encouraging words and a positive attitude.

Great as always!

Great! High energy and loved the feed back in form

Dropped in for a couple of classes this week during my work trip. Everyone is so welcoming, coach Laurin and coach Alie were both on point with going over their movements and techniques. I will keep coming back when I’m in town for work.

Today was a good workout she was great ☺️ and a great trainer

Tarynne was very patience with me and everyone. She knew what I needed and made adjustments to fit my physical needs. It was a fun class and I learned strategies that I can use to help me get better. Thanks, Tarynne.

Woo hoo!

Great class, good workout, thank you for letting me drop by.

Great experience! I felt thoroughly warmed up and prepared for class. Didn’t feel rushed afterwards, was able to cool down and do some stretching. The members are so nice, encouraging, and welcoming to drop-ins!

During the warm-up, Laurin made the snatch breakdown easy to understand and gave excellent technique modification ques during the wod. She made it a point to encourage every member during class. I look forward to attending another one of her classes.

Always a fun but challenging time!

Took her time to show the workouts I didn’t under stand overall 10/10 coach

Regardless of my amount of sweat, gasps for oxygen or groans of pain, Laurin always encourages me to keep going as her sweet and caring grin appears upon her face.

Laurin

Wouldn’t have made it without her encouragement! Always so positive:)

Super awesome! Super welcoming with great coaching! Really enjoyed the class!

I've had Tarynne 3 times as a coach while visiting CrossFit Lake Wylie, and every time she does a great job! I like that she walks around and coaches throughout the whole workout, and says things to keep me motivated.

Great workout with good people! They helped my form on deadlifts for safe lifts! Highly recommend if you want a great workout.

Laurin is the best!

Laurin was great! My first time back after 6+ years and she made me feel right at home. She ensured I kept good form and nudged me a bit too which was a perfect balance for me. Can’t wait for tomorrow night’s class!
