Review for Amanda Gallt

Thank you so much for making my first day so welcoming. Sara did a wonderful job leading the fundamentals class before my first workout. She carefully walked me through how to use each piece of equipment, demonstrating proper form and explaining why it matters. I really appreciated her clear guidance on how I can start slowly and build up my strength without overwhelming myself. Her attention to detail was reassuring - she noticed when I hesitated on certain movements and offered gentle encouragement and helpful adjustments. Knowing that the coach is supporting beginners in such a thoughtful way helps take away the “newbie” jitters and made me feel confident to keep coming back. The whole experience at CrossFit South Haven felt supportive and well-paced, exactly what I needed for my first day.

I regularly travel to South Haven, and when I’m in town I love working out at CrossFit South Haven. The gym is clean and well equipped; the people are welcoming, and each coach has helped me learn and grow. This summer I was coached by Emily for the first time. She leads with clarity, and she knows when to affirm and when to push for more results. She has a signature spiciness that infuses extra fun into the classes! Not to mention that she can tackle the toughest workout without breaking a sweat!

I haven't yet I'm afraid to get on the scale. I only have like 7-9 pounds to go. I've been atte ding for almost a month and a half, I love it, I feel I made a good decision
