CrossFit Mafia

Thank you for explaining each movement in such detail. You are not only our coach but also our mirror.

I really love the community factor.

Though I’ve worked with several coaches in the past few years, and they’ve all helped me learn, Dave has been central in teaching me proper technique in all aspects of CrossFit. He’s passionate about getting it right. I see it in myself and in the other athletes he coaches.

We really enjoyed the workout for Thanksgiving this morning! The session was perfectly timed and balanced - just the right mix of challenging movements and team spirit to make the holiday feel special. And especially the people! The gym community at CrossFit Mafia is genuinely welcoming and supportive; everyone was encouraging each other, sharing smiles, and celebrating each other's effort throughout the class. You have such a great gym community, and that made attending classes feel less like a workout and more like being part of something fun and motivating. We also really enjoyed attending classes at the gym when we can - the variety in workouts keeps things fresh, and the coaches always make sure each movement is done safely and effectively. And the music!!! The playlist was spot on with energetic, motivating tracks that kept us pushing through the toughest parts of the workout. It’s clear someone puts thought into matching the music to the pace of the exercises, which made a big difference in keeping the energy high. We wish we lived closer so we could attend more frequently and be part of this lively atmosphere every week! Thank you for having us and making the holiday workout something to look forward to.

James sticks out among the coaches for technical expertise. If the work out calls for a barbell lift or some skill that I’ve never done before I’m usually checking the schedule to see if James is teaching because I know I will get useful technique and safety tips to keep me progressing and to keep me from getting hurt. He’s also really funny :-)

Heather is a great coach. She always checks in with me before the WOD to see what I’m going to do and if I feel comfortable with it all.

Today was my first day back after breaking my wrist and Brian was super helpful with modifications and support! I had a great and still challenging workout while still minding my surgeons restrictions!

Brian did a great job today! I have a lot of trouble with my form and I don’t like weights over my head. Brian’s coaching gave me confidence in the moves and I am very happy with my lifts today.

Dave is a wonderful coach! He has been patient, supportive and encouraging throughout my CrossFit journey. Thank you!

The workout is decadent but not overdone with cleans, double unders, wall walks, planks, sandbag carry, shoulder taps, and stretching. Full and very dense with mouth-coating tannins but also attractive fresh fruit, pretty acidity and a long finish. Rather chewy and needs time…. 95 points

I enjoyed my workout with Andrea. She was supportive and encouraging. She showed an interest in each athlete.

Brian is very detail oriented coach and I loved his warm up! He is also super welcoming and made sure we had everything we needed to have a good time :)

Dave was great as always. I have never done a “snatch” before ane he expertly guided all of us thru it. His improvement points for each of us made it another great workout.

Always a great class with Christina, and she has a wonderfully non-judgemental coaching style to deliver the feedback I need to hear without making me feel completely inept.

Brian did awesome. Very knowledgeable. Even prepped by watching videos on RKB in Russian

Coach Christina did a great job today. She clearly explained the WOD, led us through a great warm up and answered any lingering questions athletes had. She made corrections to my form during the workout and encouraged me. Love taking an x-Tina class :)

Coach Heather crushed it at Mafia this morning! Her clear instructions, feedback, and positive energy made a challenging workout fun. Great job!

Great work workout sessions

Brian is great, he takes the time to check in with everyone in class and offers valuable feedback to help improve technique.

Dave Stover ensured right off the bat that he knew what condition I was in, as I hadn’t worked out in awhile. That meant a lot. Thanks Dave!

Dropped in for a great class with Mike. Warm up was spot on and I will steal it for squat days at home.

Christina was awesome as usual! She is always so aware of my limitations and teaching me the best way to scale. She makes class fun which makes me eager to “get more fit”! Thanks, Christina!

Brian was great! Very helpful and inclusive for my first time!

Christina was the coach of the class I went to and I loved her! Christina is fun, energetic, kind, motivating, and very knowledgeable - all the things you could want in a coach! The atmosphere of the gym was so positive and fun! Honestly had a great time.

Dave was a great coach! Explained the different exercises and always checked back to make sure my form was correct. Great atmosphere and great people!

Really enjoyed the fact that Brian spent some extra time helping me get some butterfly pull-ups. Very helpful tips and suggestions.

Dave and Jenn were great! Great warmup and there was good fluidity throughout the workout!

Coach Nrian

She’s one of the best coaches she always worries about our injuries and always has a backup, improves and help to do the best workout!

Brian is an awesome coach. I really appreciate that CrossFit Mafia coaches are able and willing to help each individual with where they are at and what they want to get out of a workout. Thanks for helping me with my technique and form today.

Christina is awesome as usual.

Always feel safe lifting with Brentnie. It's a good combo of a motivating push while also ensuring form is a priority.

Thanks Brentie for a great class! Was really good and great to meet with the rest of the class as well!

Heather is always amazing. She pushes you to do your best while making sure you are always using correct form.

Dre is great!!!!

Brian has quickly become one of my favorite coaches. Always challenging me to do a little bit more than I am capable of!

Andrea is always fun she explains the WOD very well asked for questions and how we can adjust the workout for each person. After the class. I’m tired for a little while and happy I did the class. Andrea is encouraging and stressed correct posture to not hurt our bodies. Good job Andrea!

Brian focuses on proper form while keeping individuals fitness goals in mind. Great coach!

Coach Brian was great, very positive and gave great scaling options. We really enjoyed the class!

James was excellent in demonstrating each of the movements and taking us through doing them properly. He is always encouraging to the students in the class.

Dropped in at the 5:30a with James today. Not only was the entire class welcoming, engaging and funny (not to mention strong AF), James made me feel incredibly welcomed. The warmup was really effective (I loved the wall ball partner activation), and the cues James gave (hips back) pushed me to be aware of my body. In addition, I appreciated how James gave cues to the class, not yelling and calling them out, but by their side, thoughtfully and effectively. Not to mention he’s funny and engaging and just led a really positive, engaging class. It’s obvious the culture that exists at Mafia - I can’t wait to come back.

Brian is a very patient and dedicated coach. He makes us do things safely and effectively. I love giving him a hard time when things get serious and I should go harder. Thanks B for pushing me!

Dave was the coach and I love working with him. He pushes me to strive for my best

Excellent

Today my coach was Dave! Super cool Guy. Very friendly and helpful. Haven’t been to CrossFit in a bit. The way he explained things was really helpful and made sense. Will be going back!

Great coach. she was very knowledgeable of the movements and helpful to those who needed scaled version of the exercises.

Best class evvaaaaas

I think Heather is an excellent coach. She always offers ways to help correct my form to help me do more and is very motivating!

Great instructor!

James was incredibly welcoming, good sense of humor, and solid feedback and attention to detail on lifts. Really appreciated the experience!

Brentnie is an amazing coach. She onboarded me as well. The class was good and she kept checking in on me.

Coach Brian had great tips on body position when weightlifting and was very encouraging.

Dave was great!

A+

I always feel welcomed, even though I’m not an official member. Coaches check in and catch up with me every time and are genuinely kind and ensure my experience is good with the workout and gym. Brentnie’s energy while reviewing the workout and during is great. I appreciate the structure and seriousness brought to the workout when it’s time.

Heather was awesome! I will be back!!

Coach Dave did a fantastic job of reviewing the proper form for squats and cleans

Learned something new today!

Good deliberate warm up and lead in to the wod. Nice progression demos so everyone could scale with practice reps. I’m accustomed to having a lifting/strength portion so for me that was unusual but every gym is different. It was nice to not be rushed.

Dave and Jen are great instructors

Coach Dave is always prepared and professional!

Big class today to start of Bring A Friend week. Brentie was still able to get around to everyone and give us individualized suggestions for improvements. I really appreciate her feedback because she's able to provide different cues while waiting for one of them to click in my brain and body.

Way to kick my ass, Dave! Great workout!

Absolutely LOVE Crossfit Mafia! The coaches are exceptional—dedicated to proper warm-ups, cool-downs, and, most importantly, ensuring you maintain correct form to prevent injury. The workouts are fun yet challenging, and the coaches and community consistently push you to achieve goals you never thought possible. The atmosphere is unmatched—everyone welcomes you with open arms and cheers you on every step of the way. I never imagined I’d be excited to wake up at 5:30 a.m. for a workout, but Crossfit Mafia has made it happen!

Great workout, helpful coaching + supportive and encouraging!

Very informational and helpful on my OHS and Dips!

New to this box and am excited to continue my journey here. Brentnie's class was instructed very well, tips and proper form was relayed in a professional manner!

Coach Dave and Jen were great as always

The community here was great! Gym is gorgeous, accommodating, and very clean. The programming and coaching is everything that one would want in a CrossFit gym. We will definitely be back again!

Workout was intense and fun!

Great! Easy to follow along and got some great tips for my pull-ups and run pacing.

Loved the flow of class and could tell she was a CrossFit instructor. Took time with every person in class. I would join this gym if I lived here.

Heather was my coach today as she was awesome!! Love the gym and the other class members were so welcoming too :). I’ll be back!

This review is for Coach Brian ... Day: Monday, July 8th, 2024 Class: 6:30AM As a general statement - all coaches at CrossFit Mafia are great. And each coach brings their unique talents to every class. Which is another reason why CrossFit Mafia is so great. Brian is a great coach. He helps motivate people to do their best and to push a bit beyond their comfort zone. He is diligent in providing feedback during the WOD and making sure people are using the right form in order to avoid injury. One thing Brian can improve on is presenting personalized scaling options and making sure everyone has a plan before the WOD starts. As Brian gets to know the members better, this will come naturally. Overall 5-Stars!

I’m new to crossfit but Brian was so helpful guiding me thru everything we did. I had so much fun. I’ve gone 2 days in a row! Such a great community.

Coach Brian did great today. He walked me through a great progression to get to where I needed to be.

Ehla was awesome! Amazing Gym

Owner/Coach Brentnie is 10/10! She knows exactly how to scale the WOD to my fitness level and abilities. She demos each movement which is awesome to make sure you are performing the movement safely. Lastly, the encouragement during the workout is top notch, she makes sure you’re still getting the work done, but there when you need a jolt of energy!

Awesome coaching, community and box!

Super nice and helpful with suggestions to modify.

I love Dave and Jenn as coaches!!

Awesome class with Jonathan!

Brentnie is a wonderful coach with SO much knowledge!! Love taking her classes!

Dave is always so very good at making sure we are doing the exercises correctly, & doing our best. He is very helpful & encouraging.
