How lucky am I to have crossed paths with Pat Brown during my CrossFit journey. I have enjoyed many coaches over my 8 years and Pat is, hands down, the best of the best. He has an undeniable gift of teaching, coaching, demonstrating, motivating, encouraging and heck, even making me laugh while face planting a burpee. It has been a minute since I have been purely excited to show up for the next class. I owe my perspective shift to him and can’t wait for whatever workout tomorrow brings. Hey Northside, you have this coaching vibe dialed in and I love every second of it!!!

Outstanding coaching—accountable, motivating, and detail-oriented. She holds the class accountable in a genuinely positive way—pushing us when it gets tough while keeping the vibe encouraging, not intimidating. What I value most is how personal she makes it: with me she’s direct and bold (almost a call-out when I need it), while with others she dials it back—still firm, just less stern. She reads the room and the person. I really appreciate how she spots the small things (grip, foot position, breathing, pacing) and gives clear, actionable cues that immediately make you better. She also takes time to explain the why behind the programming and each movement, so you leave the hour not just worked—but smarter and more confident. Efficient, upbeat, and professional. Highly recommend.

Pat gave me some advice on my deadlifts that helped with some mobility issues I have, plus he keeps me accountable when I feel like slacking off.

Love the humor love the energy love the attention really the reason why I came back to a CrossFit gym is because I wanted a coach to push me which I got today and good banter with everybody else working out, it’s highly motivating

I thought Zacq did a great job pointing out common faults during the front squats. He explain the focus of the metcon well and suggested appropriate scaling methods. Most importantly, he was very welcoming on my first day and I thought it was a great coach.

CARLY is my favorite coach ever I love working out with her. She keeps it fun and she stays on top of our form that’s important for us older athletes.

I had a great time today! Being new, I really appreciated the time you took to go over each of the exercises and the form of each one. I also really liked how encouraging you were and how you wanted each of us to make the workout our own and modify it if needed. (We all know I needed that more than anyone haha)

I look forward to Melissa's classes. She is everything you want a great coach to be. Encouraging but not overbearing. Eager to help. Ensures she has something to say to everyone in class whether its an affirmation or a pointer. You can tell she's just a really great person.

So glad to have Coach Pat back after his time away for Guard Reserve training! He jumped right back in like he never left and brought great energy to the gym. During class, he gave me lots of helpful pointers and corrections that really improved my form and confidence. You can tell he genuinely cares about everyone’s progress and makes the effort to coach with purpose. Appreciate all the support, Pat great to have you back!

Shane does a great job of providing modifications for people like me who are broken or don’t really consider themselves an athlete and watches every member. There is a saying the CrossFit is for everyone. Shane made that possible in class.

Great 6am class. Lots of energy and a super fun workout as always. Tamra managed the large group with ease.

My favorite coach! I usually go to the noon class and it’s usually Zacq! He’s so good at breaking down the movements so I understand what the heck I'm doing since I’m new to CrossFit!

Basavanth M.

I appreciate Zacq’s ability to bring high energy to every class and create a welcoming environment. One of his biggest strengths is how naturally he connects with people—always approachable, always engaged. What stands out most, though, is the way he takes time to correct form and offer real guidance. It’s clear he cares about doing things right.

She’s a gem. Full of big personality and her love for coaching is evident. She helped me break down the snatch movement to help me not rise up my rear first.

Shane was great! I have a few injuries I have to work around and he was thoughtful and kind. He gave me scaling options in case of pain and checked in with me during the workout. The only thing I can think of is that deadlifting wasn’t demonstrated prior to beginning the workout…which wasn’t an issue for me and my sister since we are not new to them…but perhaps could have been for some less experienced athletes. We had an excellent time! Will come back for sure. Thanks so much!

Today was my first day trying CrossFit, and I had a great experience! Shane led the class and made me feel completely comfortable from the start. He paid close attention to my posture and form throughout each exercise, which really helped ease my biggest fear—getting injured. I appreciated how attentive he was, not just to me but to everyone in the class. That kind of detail and care goes a long way. Thank you, Shane!

It was a good experience. Everything is still very new and I’m hyper focused on having good form first to prevent injury. I have a few existing issues I need to be careful with. I always appreciate a bit of extra attention and coaching so I know I’m doing it right and can go harder and faster in the future.

Pat knows his stuff and is a great coach, but his greatest strength is the way he likes the people he works with, and that he really enjoys his work.

The class was great! Atmosphere wise, it felt good. Mel carried on conversations, she engaged with what seemed like everyone on an individual basis and she was fun and inviting! From a coaching standpoint, this was a hard one to coach! A lot of running and a lot of sumo deadlift high pulls…of course Tamra did a fantastic job walking around and giving everyone little reminders of full extension and using the hips to finish the movement. I think with time, patience and continued development, Mel is going to be a great coach!

Being new to CrossFit and coming in a bit intimidated to the entire idea of CrossFit. Pat and all the other coaches at CrossFit Northside have been great at working with me!
