CrossFit Shades

Colt has been awesome to work with. He really focuses on proper form, takes the time to give one-on-one help when needed, and always brings a great attitude to every Friday morning class! You can tell he genuinely cares about helping you improve.

Laura was amazing and made me feel right at home. She took time in the beginning to make sure the bike was set up correctly so that you would experience no pain during class. She is full of energy and her class was so fun !! You can definitely tell she is very prepared and takes so much pride in her classes getting the best experience for them! I’m so glad I was able to go to class and will definitely be back.

Knowledgeable and fun at the same time!

I really appreciated coach Wins feedback and suggestions, I’ve just started going and it has been really helpful

Encouraging and motivating!!!

Great coaching and a very warm welcome to shades creek CrossFit

Laura always does a great job. She makes it fun,challenging and is always helpful. Having a coach that cares for their community is a breathe of fresh air.

Class was amazing, no matter how bad I wanted to quit, you kept pushing me and the rest of the class to not listen to your mind and do more. Amazing as always and look forward to your next class!!!!!! 5 stars all around

Marcus is an excellent coach. He’s personable, approachable and a good listener. He always checks in with each individual throughout class. Definitely a 5-star coach!

As usual, Win was encouraging and thorough with his coaching

I appreciate how detailed in instruction Win is and the energy he brings to the class. I always appreciate deep scaling options considering there are so many movements I have no interest in doing.

What’s one positive change you’ve seen since joining CrossFit Shades?

Win is a great coach. He explains the workout well and brings energy and encouragement to the class. He also helps me with my form which I really appreciate.

Positive in every way.

Kat is always awesome!

Today was my second time dropping into CrossFit Shades. I met Kat briefly during my first visit, and not only did she remember me, she also remembered my name, which immediately made me feel welcomed and appreciated in a way that’s rare at gyms. As a coach, she is knowledgeable and personable. She took the time to observe my form closely, offered clear guidance on adjusting my technique, and checked in throughout the workout to see how I was doing. It’s clear she cares about the community here, creating an atmosphere where you feel supported but also challenged. The workouts are well designed, pushing you just enough to improve without overwhelming. The combination of Kat’s attention and the friendly vibe around CrossFit Shades makes each session something I look forward to.

He explained the today's workout, checked my pose and encouraged me a lot!

Win is a phenomenal coach!

Sonia was incredible. As always!

Dex was great today! His communication and education was clear and concise! Very motivating and attentive. Thanks Dex!

Dex is a great teacher kept me motivated to complete the workout

You the goat

I am submitting this for Calvin as a coach. I love Calvin. Super attitude, has a great spirit about him. Always happy to see you. Calvin provides good instruction while being aware of some of my limitations with my hips. Gives me good feedback and ideas for modifications. Pushes me to work hard while making sure I don’t do anything to aggravate my hip issues.

I attended a themed spin class taught by Laura!! The class was high energy and she had an awesome playlist. I received an awesome workout!! I would highly recommend!! Great class!

Spectacular coaching and training. Didn’t make me feel out of place for my first day. Encourage me to stay in a good pace to get a good workout, but also to stay safe every movements.

Win was Fantastic! He explained all movements in great detail. The warm up was perfect and he pushed us to work as hard as we could!

I had Calvin as a

Dex Hopkins is a great coach and ambassador for crossfit in general, and Crossfit Shades in particular. It is clear in every class that the goal is to move well first, and that speed and weight come second. I appreciate knowing he will give honest feedback - both on what needs work so I don't risk injury, and where I need to push harder. Highly recommend taking a class with Dex!
