CrossFit Northside

Joy is a light. She is knowledgeable and works the entire class! Northside knows how to choose their coaching staff well!

Carly is the best coach! She corrects my form to make sure I am not going g yo hurt myself, but does so in a very kind way. Love the sauna and cold plunge. Everything is so clean and fancy. Definitely giving spa vibes. And Tamra is the owner and super personable and sweet whenever I see her!🥰🥰

I love Joy’s technical training. She always has new tips and tricks to perform better and avoid injury.

Carly is one of the most knowledgeable coaches that I’ve ever been around. She is the best in the business. She is always giving advice on how to better your lifts as well as make the lifts easier. She is a coach who cares. She will tell you how it is and NO BS with this one, very humbling experience.

It was a good workout, every welcoming environment and whole lot of fun

Will is a great coach and always so helpful!

Today was my first group session and Joy made me feel very welcomed and was very good at making sure workouts were clear and the process and goals were clearly understood. Helping with form and checking on every one to make sure people are staying safe but encouraging pushing through the challenges in such a positive manner was so helpful. Coming into such a welcoming gym and caring team was everything I was looking for! Can’t wait for the future classes and to grow and become a regular part of the CrossFit Northside family!!

I appreciated the feedback from Joy as we worked out, especially when she pointed out how I could make an exercise a bit harder by adjusting my form. As a newbie to CrossFit, having that kind of guidance was so helpful - it helped me feel more confident and challenged without being overwhelmed.

The coach took time to correct my form with the push press!

Melissa is an awesome coach. I always enjoy her classes. Very knowledgeable and always takes the time to listen and help you improve.

Awesome Instructor!! Helps me modify different lifts based on my knee and shoulder 😊😊

Pat does an awesome job coaching! He pays attention to form and commands a room well. I love taking his classes!

Excellent coach! Joy has been super supportive & welcoming to us as newcomers to CrossFit. She gives encouragement and timely skill & technique coaching. Great playlist!

I always have fun and learn when Melissa is coaching!!

Great noon class today with Coach Melissa at CN! Very knowledgeable and super helpful as always!

Zacq does Great in depth explanation and demo on difficult movements that has helped me out a lot.

Best coaching I’ve had since I’ve started CrossFit. He carefully watched my movements and fixed my form to avoid injury, pointing out subtle adjustments like hand placement and hip alignment that I hadn’t noticed before. This made my lifts feel smoother and more efficient, and I left the gym feeling confident that I was training safely. The way he breaks down each movement and offers clear, practical tips really helped me understand how to move better, not just lift heavier. It’s made a noticeable difference in both my technique and how my body feels after workouts at CrossFit Northside.

Matt makes me feel funny when he spots me during squats.

Zacq does an amazing job breaking down all the movements. He is always supportive and helps out with modifications. He keeps everyone motivated and energy high throughout the whole class.

Today was a long workout and I’m sure hard to coach. But Carly did a great job of walking around the entire class, checking in with everybody individually, and paying close attention to each person's form and effort. She clearly knows people’s limitations and was quick to offer alternative movements when the step ups from today didn’t work for someone’s knees or balance. I appreciated how she didn’t just call out the workout but took the time to personalize it on the spot, making sure everyone could keep up safely without feeling left out. Carly’s calm and encouraging presence made even the toughest moments feel manageable. She’s always wonderful to have as a coach because she balances pushing you just enough while respecting where you’re at physically. That kind of thoughtful coaching makes CrossFit Northside a place where I feel supported and challenged at the same time.

Melissa is an amazing coach! I am fairly new to CrossFit and new to CrossFit Northside. She is super helpful and encouraging throughout every workout. She takes the time to observe each movement carefully, then helps modify exercises so they fit my current abilities. She meets people where they are at, whether that means adjusting the weight, breaking down complex moves, or offering clear instructions.

Pat is a wealth of knowledge and seemingly endless energy! Even with the classes being packed with members he makes sure to check in on everyone.

Matt always does a great job coaching and makes the class fun.

Super helpful!! I leaned a lot about the proper bench form because of her!

Melissa is so bad ass. Just trying to be cool like her! So nice and so encouraging! Even when I feel like I’m not doing what everyone else is she makes me feel like I did great!

excellent coach

Great coach! Knows his stuff! Had a great time!

Pat is always such a bright light in the morning and is a great motivator to everyone in class. He genuinely wants everyone to do their best and is there to encourage you along the way.

Pat was fantastic for my first day at Northside. He gave me good pointers on my front squats and encouraged me to go at my own pace. I had such a blast.

Amazing coaching as always from Melissa! Explains the movements in detail and keeps the class fun. Always has a smile on her face 😊

Melissa is fun, energetic, and welcoming. I love that she brings everyone to the board. Explains movements to the whole and then has us gather to work on them. She organizes gym chaos well. She checks in, corrects form, and cheers. All of this done in a constructive manner. I’m on day two at Northside and I’ve quickly fallen in love!

Solid tempo. Warm up, demo, and straight to the work. No fluff

Great overall coaching, was on top of everyone and pushed to get better movements.

"Best CrossFit coach ever-never yells if you're late, just roasts you into shape."

Pats the best! Always focuses on proper movement and mechanics with all athletes! He pushes you but not to the point of ignoring bad movement.

Always enjoy your warm-ups!

Did a great job

Will is a wonderful coach and really helped me understand what I was doing, helped motivate me and modify the things I needed help with! Big Thanks to him!

We had a challenge new skill for me today. Wall handstands. Not wall walkups, but from standing to handstands against the wall. I was hesitant but wanted to push myself so I asked Matt for help. He guided me through the process making recommendations and adjustments. By the time we did the workout I could confidently complete the skill. Thanks Matt!

When I see Melissa is coaching, I know the vibes will be immaculate and the energy is on point. 🤘🏻

Joy was great in correcting my form!

Great energy and instruction for the different movements as well as scale options. He did a great job handling a large class.

I love Pat’s style, his enthusiasm, and his desire to connect individually with everyone attending his class. It is obvious he has a plethora of knowledge when it comes to technique with each movement and lift. I’ve noticed he gives specific pointers to attendees if they are struggling with form, or need advice on how to approach the workout. I have fun in his classes and truly enjoy having him as a coach.

Jams were on point today

Pat is the best. Great energy and explains the workouts and movements to eliminate injury

Great positive energy.

Pat is an amazing coach - he gets to know each of his athletes and where they’re at. He’s got the rare ability to balance his feedback so you can be successful with what he’s coaching without overwhelming you. I actually trust him to know my capabilities more than I trust myself. When he says push harder - I do… when he says pull back, I do. I can’t say enough about him.

Zacq always brings the energy and vibes for a great workout! I trust his coaching and always feel better after a class with Zacq.

Love the energy Zacq brings to his class! The perfect mix between challenging and keeping it fun 🙌🏻

Loved class today Mel! first, you are incredibly knowledgeable and you make it very comfortable for the CrossFit pro or the beginner. I especially loved the extra credit at the end. Thank you!

Melissa works with everyone to find an appropriate level of effort for the workout. Excellent vibes, great coaching, wonderful class!

Awesome start this morning—crazy good energy for 5 a.m.! Love the vibe Pat brings to class.

Carly has been a great coach with every class I’ve taken with her. She has an unwavering commitment to proper lifting postures and her encouragement is invigorating.

Great class!

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.

Zacq always brings the energy and makes the workouts fun! He gives clear instructions and demonstrates the different options based on your fitness level. He’s a great coach!!

Melissa is one of the best coaches I’ve ever had! She’s fun, encouraging, and truly knows what she’s talking about. She’s attentive to everyone and makes every workout both motivating and enjoyable.

Great energy, helpful and always smiling:)

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.

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.

I had the opportunity to work out with Tamara today. She did a great job of offering great coaching tips during my workout which were super helpful. Beautiful new facility. I’ll definitely be back!

Melissa was amazing today. Really helped me with my hollow swing form to not get out of control.

Stone cold pimp

Excellent!!! Super nice and very personable. Also very knowledgeable. Thank you.!

Appreciated the focus on warming up shoulders properly.

Love joy!!

Zacq is one of the best coaches I've ever had. From the warm up, to the wod. Very informative, and great at explaining technique. Thanks Zacq

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!

She is the best! Great cues and attention to detail!

Will was a great coach! He explained the warm up movements thoroughly and gave explanations for why they were necessary. During the workout, he was encouraging and attentive. He was welcoming and made an effort to engage with everyone in the class.

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.

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.

Zacq is an amazing coach! I’ve worked out with him before years ago at his gym, so I was pleasantly surprised when I came into class and he was the coach. Great workout 🏋️‍♀️ thank you 🙏

Friendly and welcoming!

Excellent attention and really good Community! I’m excited for the next workouts.

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!

Will is extremely knowledgeable about movement and techniques. Great coach to help you not get hurt. He has helped me a ton.

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!

Great being new here he checked my form and gave suggestions to improve it.

Love going to class when Tamara is coaching! Everyone is always so nice, supportive and encouraging. Tamra meets you where you are and helps you get the most out of your time there. Grateful for this community.

SO helpful! Fun environment

Pat did great! I love the energy pat bring at 5am, because you know we need it. He’s always thorough and attentive while keeping us on track. You rock Pat!

Love the intensity and instructions Shane gives. Not yelling and over the top, but the calm confidence in the coaching is really impressive.

As always Pat brings the energy! He is not only very attentive to form but slows the process down for the few of us new to CrossFit. Thank you Pat and team for always making the workout challenging and enjoyable!

Did an excellent job looking after form and making corrections. Great vibe, and the ability to do the movements very well was impressive. Great trainer!

First class back in a while, and he made me feel like I could ask for help with modifications without feeling like a burden. Was a bigger class and he still saw me throughout the workout a number of times. Thank you!

Pat is an amazing coach and gives detailed instructions as well as positive feedback! He’s energetic and keeps everyone moving in the right direction. He’s very knowledgeable and a super fun coach!

Coach Tamra is incredibly friendly and welcoming, she brings detailed, attentive coaching that helps you move with purpose and power.

Amazing! Today’s class was so fun (and hard)!

I liked the que on squeezing my lats to help me keep my elbows up during front squats. I also liked that double under prep. Good coach with solid advice, also appreciate the banter. He’s a cool guy.

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.

Coach Will is awesome! Great patience and attention to details!! So happy I joined CF Northside!

Great attention to making sure each individual has correct form!

I Love being coached by Melissa ! She is so genuine and sincere. She always knows the exact thing to say to help my form and encourage me.

Great coach!

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!

Great coach. Just the right amount of intensity with lots of good suggestions for modifications without lessening the effort of an exercise.

Great class. Tamara and the rest of the coaches manage to make the struggle fun. Thank you!

Kicked my ass… so tired

Helpful feedback on push jerk form

Class was fast paced and straight to the point which in return we got a lot of work done. Instructions on correct movements were thorough and thought out. Overall great class and coaching Tamra!

Pat is a fabulous coach! Very knowledgeable and runs a class so smooth!

Class was good, but poor time management caused us to run out of time and I had to leave to get back to work instead of finishing.

Did great . Kept the class on time, and flowed real well.

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! I have been given clear direction and modifications to get me through each workout. In addition to the coaches, other great members have been instrumental in getting me through each workout.

Matt is knowledgeable and clear in his communication. He’s great at keeping his class on track, but also keeps it fun.
