Alexa is one of my favorite coaches at Cross Fit Cedar Grove. She knows the athletes levels well, and calibrates her coaching to each individual and knows exactly how to push them. Her personalized approach is so helpful, and when she says “good job!” You know she really means it. She’s also funny and makes classes very fun.

Coach Brennan is the best! He doesn’t overwhelm or give too many cues. He gives solid corrections while also building confidence! I love him! He’s my favorite coach!

I think Brennan is a great coach. He gives a lot of helpful advice but my sense is that he also doesn’t want you to get too much in your head about it

Today was my first class with Coach Sebastian, and I’m really impressed! He took the time to understand my fitness goals and made sure I was comfortable with each movement while still pushing me to challenge myself. His energy is motivating, his instructions are clear, and he creates a very supportive environment. Looking forward to the next sessions!

Today’s session was exactly what I needed — challenging, well-structured, and motivating. Angela brought great energy from the start and kept it consistent throughout the workout. What stood out most was Angela’s attention to form and safety. She offered me clear cues and personalized corrections, which helped me push myself without risking injury. Angela did an amazing job keeping everyone moving and motivated. I especially appreciated the encouragement during the final round and it made a difference. Always a great session with Angela’s consistent energy, smart coaching, and just a great vibe overall.

Alexa consistently sets the tone with an outstanding warm-up that gets us fired up and focused. Her energy is absolutely infectious—she brings such high vibes to every session that you can't help but push a little harder. Whether you are 55+ or an elite athlete, Alexa's motivation feels personal and powerful, like she's cheering just for you. 💪👏

Coach Sean is hands down one of the best CrossFit coaches I’ve ever had! I absolutely love his dry, sarcastic humor — it somehow makes the toughest workouts feel a little more bearable (and even fun). He has a gift for making you feel comfortable and welcome, no matter your fitness level, while still pushing you to your absolute limit. Every class with him feels like a perfect mix of challenge, progress, and a good laugh. Highly recommend Coach Sean if you want to grow stronger and enjoy the process!

I've been doing CrossFit for a few years now, and Coach Ali is hands-down one of the best coaches I’ve trained with. Their ability to break down complex gymnastics movements like muscle-ups, handstand walks, and toes-to-bar is incredible — every cue is clear, and they always have helpful progressions no matter your skill level. They also run classes with impressive consistency and structure — everything flows smoothly, and no one is left guessing what's next. Even when the class size fluctuates, Ali does a fantastic job adjusting the WOD or equipment setup so that everyone gets a great workout without feeling rushed or overcrowded. You can tell they genuinely care about the athletes and are invested in helping each person improve. Whether you're new to gymnastics or working on refining your skills, Ali is the coach you want in your corner!

Simone is an excellent coach during group classes. She will pop out of nowhere to correct my posture (when I am wrong) or motivate me to squeeze that last few reps in however she shines the most in my opinion during her gymnastics class. I learnt to do 10 unbroken kipping pull ups from half; can manage 5 T2B from 0 and improved my handstand push ups..Her skillful methods makes you 1 degree better every class and before you know it, the aha moment comes..

If you're lucky enough to have Coach Simone lead your class, you know you're in for something special. She’s the perfect balance of encouraging, tough, supportive, and incredibly knowledgeable — everything you’d want in a great coach. She has this amazing ability to push you beyond what you thought you could do, all while making you feel completely supported and confident along the way. Whether you're brand new or experienced, she meets you where you are and somehow manages to bring out your best every time. Her energy is contagious, her cues are always spot-on, and her attention to detail makes every class feel purposeful and safe. She creates an environment that challenges you physically while nurturing your mindset — and that’s a rare gift. Every time she coaches, the class feels like a win. Truly one of the best!
