CrossFit Port Clinton

Stella was very welcoming and encouraging, as were the other gym members. She went around and watched every athlete lift and gave helpful suggestions or praise. Definitely give this gym, Stella (my coach tonight) and the other coaches a thumbs up!👍

One thing that makes CrossFit Port Clinton special is the personal coaching on nutrition and the consistent follow-ups when I don’t make it into the gym. I struggle with choosing healthy high-protein meals and snacks, so it means a lot that Lexi took time after class today to talk through what I am doing right and where I could improve my choices. She didn’t just give general advice - she listened to my daily habits and suggested specific adjustments that feel doable for me. Showing up for the workout is only half the battle for good health. The other half is learning about nutrition, and having that guidance makes me feel supported beyond just the physical training. It’s clear they care about helping me build sustainable habits, not just pushing through a workout.

Lexis did a great job explaining the work out and walking us through the warm up. It’s always hard to get to the gym in the morning but I cannot think of a time I have left and regretted getting there. Just show up the rest will works itself out. All Glory to God for my strength and resilience, and for placing a calling on Lex and Brett to not just start but maintain and grow a legacy of fitness in the community.

Sarah is very thorough and makes sure everyone warms up correctly. She also is attentive to anyone’s substitution needs for injury or mobility. Her personality is great for a Saturday morning.

What positive changes have you noticed in yourself here at CrossFit Port Clinton?

I appreciated Erin’s prompt, during the squat therapy reps, to squeeze the shoulder blades to help keep arms off the wall. That cue helped me remember to engage those muscles! Thx!

Sarah did a great job explaining all of the moves, she was able to move around the entire gym and make sure everyone was using proper form. So happy to be able to challenge myself while coaching ensures proper form.

Stella is a laid back coach, but she knows exactly what she is talking about! During every session at CrossFit Port Clinton, she goes around the room carefully watching everyone’s form and technique. She offers great advice on how they can improve their movements or alter exercises to better fit their abilities or needs. I’ve seen her notice when someone’s posture is off and gently guide them to adjust their stance or recommend a lighter weight to avoid strain. She’s always upbeat and positive, bringing an encouraging energy that makes the workouts feel more achievable. You can really tell she truly enjoys coaching - the way she interacts with each person, checking in with smiles and enthusiasm, creates a welcoming and motivating atmosphere. It’s a wonderful balance of laid back and knowledge that makes training here feel both challenging and supportive.

I learned today that the worse thing I can do is skip class for 2 months. But hey i survived

Another great class today with Sal. From the warm up to the end, Sal always makes sure we fully understand the workout and stay on task. Even with 17 people in class, Sal had the workout running like a well oiled machine.

It's nice to walk into a gym where everyone is welcoming! Also Brett is soo passionate and knowledgeable in all aspects of CF and health! Great things are happening at CFPC!!

Absolutely engaging and supportive environment! The nutrition class and workout were phenomenal. An amazing resource in our area!

Brett did an awesome job showing all the new members the different scaling options so no one would get hurt or not be successful.

Great class! Stella kept the energy high. Great motivator!

Sarah does a wonderful job coaching. Not only does she bring years of personal experience, she always creates a positive, energetic atmosphere and shares her knowledge in every single class.

Sarah was such a great coach. During my workout at CrossFit Port Clinton, she carefully showed me modifications tailored to my level, making sure I could keep up without feeling overwhelmed. Whenever I started to struggle, she hyped me up with encouraging words that kept my energy and motivation high. Her support made the whole session feel doable yet challenging, and I left feeling proud of what I accomplished.

Brett does a great job of not only showing the moves, but giving helpful feedback as you do them. Through his advice, I have gotten better over time. He also acknowledges when your moves look better. His encouragement is the mark of a good coach and has helped me grow as an athlete.

I stated CrossFit recently and my first class was with Sal. I have practically zero experience in a gym and am very unfit. Sal made me feel welcome and helped scale to my abilities. He spent lots of time making sure my position was correct and I was getting the most out of class. I couldn’t be more pleased with my experience with Sal and the rest of the team at CrossFit Port Clinton.

Sal did a great job of explaining the scaling options on today's workout. The chest to bar pull up is not quite in my skill set yet, and ring rows are too easy for me, so we settled on doing 3 negative pullups instead. That adjustment was just right - challenging enough to really work my muscles without feeling overwhelming. Sal stayed close, watching my form carefully and encouraging me to keep control on the way down. It felt like the perfect balance between pushing myself and staying safe. Thanks, Sal, and thanks to everyone at CrossFit Port Clinton!

I felt welcome from the moment I walked in. Erin made me feel comfortable by explaining all of the steps with me. I enjoyed the other new friends I met. Everyone was so supportive.

What’s one positive change you’ve noticed since joining CrossFit Port Clinton? I'm more motivated to eat healthier.

It was nice to switch things up a bit with Sal as my coach today. I don’t normally get to see him due to different schedules. Sal is always helpful, and has a great attitude! Thanks Coach!

I’ve been training at CrossFit Port Clinton since September, and it has been a game-changer. Sal has been my main coach, and his focus on correct form and technique has helped me improve my strength week over week. He has a sharp eye—even in a full class, he never misses a rep, especially if I don’t hit that squat just right! Sal and the entire coaching staff are incredibly knowledgeable and eager to help. Beyond the technical training, what really stands out is the atmosphere. It truly feels like one big family. No matter what fitness level you start at, you are welcomed, encouraged, and celebrated in every single class. You’re guaranteed to work hard, improve, and have a laugh (usually on Stella’s behalf). I can't recommend Sal and this gym enough!

Sarah always is so positive and is a fun coach to work with! Her up lifting spirit helps push me to work harder. Her positivity is addictive and helps foster a great workout environment! Thank you Sarah!

Brett was awesome. Coming back to the gym after being away for quite some time, I was definitely nervous about how I would keep up or if I’d even remember proper form. But right from the start, he was welcoming and understanding, which immediately put me at ease. Especially with other stuff going on in my life right now, his approach felt really personal - he took the time to listen and adjust the workouts to fit where I’m at physically and mentally. What stood out most was how knowledgeable he is; he noticed when I was struggling with certain movements and offered clear guidance to improve my form, which helped me avoid injury and build confidence. It wasn’t just about pushing through the workout, but feeling supported every step of the way. That combination of being personable and expert made the whole experience at CrossFit Port Clinton feel both challenging and manageable, and I left feeling proud and motivated to keep coming back.

First class at CrossFit Port Clinton and I already feel like Rocky stepping into the ring. The workout was intense, mixing heavy lifts with fast-paced cardio that had my heart racing but kept me focused. The coach was very knowledgeable, guiding me through each move with clear instructions and encouragement, making sure my form was right and adjusting my weight when needed. Everyone was nice and welcoming, which made the whole experience even better. Definitely worth it!

I never thought I’d be someone who works out at 5am, but as a mom of two, I decided that was the time of day where no one else needed me; so that’s when I could show up for myself. Right from day one, Sal was encouraging and helpful. His sense of humor keeps class fun, even when we’re all pushing through the toughest workouts.

Great coach! Always good pre-instructions on the movements and always motivational. Love this coach and this gym.

Stella was great today. She made it fun and was very helpful. She gave a lot of tips on form that improved mine immensely. Always energetic and present for everyone in class.

Great! Lexis put us through a great workout this morning! We can’t wait to come back and see what she has in store for us next time!

Erin is always so accommodating and does everything with the biggest smile!

Sarah brings amazing energy to every class and really takes the time to help each person improve their form and confidence. She’s motivating but also encouraging, which makes a huge difference during tough workouts. Since joining CrossFit, I’ve noticed major changes in my strength and mindset. I feel more confident, energetic, and part of an awesome community.

I loved my coach, everyone is very nice and super helpful they didn't judge me since I was new and knew nothing... I will definitely keep going

I did a drop in class and Sarah made me feel welcome immediately. I have a recent shoulder injury and her suggestion to scale my pushups in a way I never did before was spot on. Well done Sarah. It made a huge difference. I’m hoping to become a regular at Port Clinton CrossFit on the weekends when I’m up there and I hope Sarah will be the coach.

Had a great workout this morning with Lexis!!! She did an amazing job of keeping us all on track, and making sure that we all got the most of of our workout no matter what skill level we were at.

Sal was very helpful

Today was a great workout day! Lexis always encourages me. She makes sure we are doing the workout correct. I love CrossFit! It is making me much stronger!

Coach Lex did amazing as always, but I learned that I need to pay better attention and not do the mens calories 😂

Sarah works hard to ensure that everyone benefits maximally from their workout regardless of ability. She strives to prioritize scaling options as needed to accommodate injury or skill level. She’s an inspiring athlete and perceptive and empathetic coach. I love working out with her and now being coached by her. She is definitely an asset to the coaching staff at CFPC.

Stella was awesome today. She was very encouraging. She motivated me and the whole class throughout a tough workout. It was a great class, thank you!

No judgment. Just pure motivation, always absolutely love this CFPC and the coaches.

Sal is a great coach his directions are very precise and help helps me when my form is not good. I enjoyed today’s class.

Great class!

Erin you are always so encouraging!! Thank you!

Workouts look a little different with my 9.5 month pregnant belly, but Sal helped modify the workout for me and I felt great the whole time. Pregnancy is so taxing on the body, but I always feel better after movement (and it helps reduce swelling!)

She was very helpful and understanding with this being my first time. She made me feel good about coming.

Great class!

Stella has helped me grow so much in the gym—whether it’s helping me fix my form or motivating me to push harder. She’s a great coach!

Great coach, firm when she needs to be 👍🏻👍🏻

Amazing first experience. I felt welcomed and supported. Brett gave good direction that was easy to follow as a first time! I can’t wait to come back!!!

It was a great class to try cross fit for a second time!! Erin was the best!!

Sarah was very informative and attentive the entire class! Sarah was great with explaining every movement and helped us through every step of the workout. Definitely would recommend taking a class at CrossFit Port Clinton!

Always motivating and does a great job managing a large class!

Erin has such a positive attitude and her energy is infectious. She kept Jaxon and I encouraged and motivated to keep going during the workout today. Afterwards, Jaxon (my kiddo) even said “I really liked that coach”. She made him feel very comfortable with it being his first week there!

I enjoyed how Sarah was encouraging in a gentle enough way I didn't feel guilty and yet she also made me feel like I could give myself the push I needed to do my best. I didn't realize I could do so much. I love how inclusive the class is despite my physical disabilities, I didn't feel out of place or less than anyone else. If only more gyms could help those handicapped to be able to exercise as fitness is important no matter if you have mobility issues or are fine with the standard way of doing things. I'll definitely be looking forward to going again and practicing what I learned at home!

Sal’s always amazing! So motivating and cheerful 😁. Love his classes!!!

Always a pleasure! Super knowledgeable and she’ll push you by calling out those no reps!

Sarah was great!! Explained every movement and every scaled movement with detail. Great coach!

This was my first class and the environment was awesome! So glad I made the decision to go!

I had the chance to work out with Brett at CrossFit in Port Clinton, and he was absolutely fantastic! Very professional, knowledgeable, and genuinely helpful. He not only answered all my questions but went above and beyond to help me create a diet plan that works for my personal fitness journey. His guidance made me feel confident and motivated, and I truly appreciate the extra time he took to make sure I understood everything. Highly recommend Brett if you’re looking for expert advice and great support!

Sal just has a natural ability to be a great coach. Whether it’s your first day in the gym or day 333, he treats you the same. Always has a way about him to motivate or challenge you, whichever is needed. Plus he is easy on the eyes, here’s looking at you Sal.!

She did amazing breaking down the workout and demonstrating how to do them.

Sarah helped me modify my workout since I am unable to do lower body & she did a great job helping me find modifications with ease :-)

Lexis was very helpful & encouraging! It was my first time in a gym in years & I was definitely anxious! However, she made me feel comfortable & helped me with modifications to ease my anxiety.

After slacking off for a few weeks, I walked into class today feeling a little out of place, but Stella welcomed me back with nothing but support and zero judgment. What I really appreciate about Stella is the welcoming culture she creates. Whether you’re a seasoned athlete or brand new to CrossFit, she makes everyone feel like they belong. She takes the time to explain each movement clearly and thoroughly, which makes a huge difference, especially for those who are like me, and are still building confidence or learning proper form. Stella creates a supportive, fun, and uplifting environment, and that’s all thanks to her encouragement, patience and leadership!

Brett has a way of simplifying things for me. He explains the movements and works with me until I get it! He is an inspirational coach and makes me want to give my all!

Sarah is very thorough with explaining the workout and giving other options to those that can't perform the prescribed workout, she also makes sure everyone is using proper form and mechanics.

Sarah maybe a new coach to the gym, but you would never know it! She’s so full of knowledge and helpful when it comes to correcting form, or giving helpful hints to get through a workout!

Welcoming and high energy environment. Great class and coaching!

Did great Very in tune with each athlete

I kept doing my backsquats with my toes and knees in. Lex kept reminding me to point toes out and push out knees. Very helpful when I got to my max rep:)

It was a great class! It was my first drop in for a while and Erin made me feel welcome and comfortable! She’s positive and a competent coach.

Brett was very welcoming and helped clean up some of my deadlift technique

Sal is one of a kind, I love having him as a coach. Sal always helps me out with anything I need (he knows I need a lot of it 😝)

During rowing workouts Kristen always take the time to correct my form. She sits on the rower and demonstrates herself to give me a visual plus verbal suggestions. There is truly a technique and she continuously helps to train me in areas that need work. This week I felt stronger than ever on the rower. All her coaching really came together. Thank you for all your help and support.

My first open class Erin was very helpful with showing me the right movements and keeping me motivated to keep moving !! I can’t wait til tomorrows class

Amazing.

Sal is the worst… in the best way. He pushes you past your mental limitations and helps you discover what you can really do.

Great!!

Best hour of my day!

Today was my first class. I was really nervous and thought about not going. I am so glad I decided to go. Brett and everyone made me feel comfortable and welcomed.

I got Stella on my favorite day, heavy day! Like all the coaches, She always explains how to do it correctly and safely. Has you modify to your level of skill and fitness!

This was my first CrossFit class or anything like it ever, and it was great! Sal along with everyone else was super welcoming and helpful in having a great workout. Will be sore for a while!

I love coming to the 10a class with coach Kristin! She is patient with instructions and demonstrates how to complete the movement or modifications. Kristin teaches me ways to improve my form, which reduces the chance of injury. She creates a welcoming environment for people at all fitness levels.

Knowledgeable and helpful

Coach Lexus came right up to me and introduced herself, made me feel welcomed.

Kristen was great. She really worked with me and another woman to get us an exercise at the level that we were at and kept on checking on us. I really liked her.

Great job, Sal! I always appreciate the targeted warmups and tips/instruction on lifting days that really help connect the brain and the muscles before any weight is added. 💪

Kristin is always perfect. She is a great coach encouraging to everyone Very kind and knows her stuff

Stella gives amazing individual attention to each person helping with our form and technique. I really value her ability to transparently explain each motion no matter what size class we have.

Lexi is always awesome! She is encouraging and knowledgeable. She's always very friendly as is everyone at crossfit port clinton.

She’s a great coach! She motivates you without being pushy, listens to your needs and limitations and rocks a pretty decent playlist.

Kristin is an amazing coach! She is encouraging, patient, and concise when explaining workouts. She is also very positive and approachable.

Lexis was very supportive and helped me get started. This is way out of my comfort zone but have it a shot. Will be back tomorrow. I really appreciate the help and encouragement.

She’s always extremely helpful and encouraging! Love going to her classes :)

She pushes me every single class. Whenever I think I can’t do as much she reminds me I can. She also makes little tweaks to my form that helps immensely.

You’re great! “Don’t think about it just breath” thank you!! 😁

The workout today was intense, very well paced, and challenged different muscle groups. Lexi provided clear instructions this workout was exactly what I needed to relieve stress, and get energized I would definitely recommend Cross Fit in Port Clinton.

I appreciate our talk. I really needed it. Thank you for giving me something to work on and be more accountable!

This was my first class I’ve ever taken. Although difficult, it was very enjoyable. Everyone was very welcoming and encouraging!

attentive, encouraging, and genuinely passionate about fitness. She knows how to push you to your limits while making every session fun. Her energy is infectious, and like all the staff, she truly makes the gym feel like a second home

She was very helpful explaining exercises and alternatives for me and making sure I had proper form

Today was my first day and Sal helped me learn a new exercise and made me feel welcomed!

Kristen was very attentive. It was my first class today and she helped with all the beginners in the class as well as making sure to improve on everyone’s form.

I am new to Crossfit. Brett made me feel welcome :). Great workout!

Always checking on you and is super supportive. Keeps you accountable and fixes your forms. She is an amazing coach that loves everyone that comes through the door.

Erin keeps the class fun and light but also very informative. Great 1:1 feedback.

Haven’t been to a class in a while. Erin welcomed me back as if I never left. Very attentive to me as well as everyone else in class.

Erin is great! Always encouraging, providing guidance, and smiling. 😊

Good.

Everyone was awesome.. Very engaging and supportive!! Sal and Brett both made me feel at home.

Great encouragement for a first time student!

Great! I didn't die!

Was a fun final day! Looking forward to dropping by in the future!

I got humbled by an incredible workout! Brett and Lexi were amazing coaches. Loved my first Crossfit Port Clinton workout experience! Will be back for more!

I think Kristin does a wonderful job! She’s kind and definitely shows she cares about her members during each class sessions! Actually, this is true about all the coaches at CFPC. I have enjoyed the different stretches she has taught us at the end of each class. Love the availability of the 10am class!

She was very helpful adjusting the workout to fit my needs. Throughout the workout she kept checking to make sure it wasn’t bothering me too much or adjusting as we went.

Best coach Ever!!!!

Kristin is personable, focused, and friendly. She makes the environment relaxed, while adhering to a strict schedule. She’ll push for those deeper squats, etc. when your form needs the push. All around, a very enjoyable class.

Always a great class. Full of energy and motivation !

Lexis helped to modify every part of the workout to my current physical abilities and got us in and out in an hour!

Was AMAZING 🤩

As always, Sal was very engaging and eager to assist the class in reaching their fitness goals

She is excellent. She explains well and demonstrates. Then she checks on everybody throughout.

🔥🔥🔥🔥

Lex walked us through the steps for the movement, showing different variations and then helped each of us understand if we had the correct form/how we could improve. She did awesome!

Brett always does a great job, makes corrections for me when needed!!

Love the structure of warm-ups you perform at your gym. The grind of Saturday workouts are always a good balance of cardio with skill or strength included.

Great class with Kristen. She has great energy and really knows what she is teaching. She is very attentive to everyone’s form and abilities. Kristin has a very sincere personality and makes me feel motivated in class. Great addition to the CFPC coaching team.

Erin does a great job explaining the workout and has no hesitation when correcting as needed. Did a great job making me sweat today!

Sal is always prepared and delivers a great member experience! Thanks, Sal!
