Elijah is a great coach. He explains each workout and demonstrates the movement. He observes our technique and corrects as necessary. He keeps the class moving at a good pace
CrossFit works and the core principles are still evident in every day, week, and month of the training here. If you want to exceed your plateau CrossFit is the way. The only thing with CrossFit is it’s not for sissy’s. You have to mentally accept where you’re at no matter who is around you, the group will encourage you as you grow in strength and fitness. If you get hurt you start over which slows down progress. Without previous rigorous conditioning folks want to blame CrossFit for injury but the person made the decision to do the thing they may have needed more training with. Come grow mentally and physically and challenge yourself in every way and your life will change forever.
Elijah and the other coaches are awesome. The people are awesome. 5am rocks!!
Today’s WOD was good. Coaching was good also. Great group of members to workout with.
Elijah’s care about your your physical fitness, but also your mobility and your motivation. The guy does everything he can to keep you engaged and get you in great shape.
Jolan was a great coach. Approachable & warm. Demonstrates the movement to be executed, checks & corrects form & movement if needed.
Makes time to teach new members and is very encouraging. It obvious he’s very passionate. Always wanting to help people achieve their goals.
Elijah was very welcoming and when it came to teaching snatches was very good at explaining the technique to all levels. The box itself was extremely welcoming and I’m excited to be a part of the community for the month.
CrossFit VELO has been such a welcoming and motivating place to train. The atmosphere is friendly supportive and focused on helping you improve at your own pace. A special shout out to Coach Elijah! He’s incredibly patient, kind and genuinely invested in each athletes progress. He takes time to make sure my form is correct on every movement, explaining cues clearly and making adjustments without ever making me feel rushed or intimidated. If you’re looking for a CrossFit gym where you feel supported, safe and challenged in the best way, CrossFit VELO (and Coach Elijah!) is the place to go.
Amazing experience! Elijah was so welcoming and each session was well worth it! CrossFit Velo truly makes you feel like family 😊
Sal was the coach today, but he’s not in the drop down. Great work out! All around, great gym!
Elijah is knowledgeable and focused on the wellbeing of his members. His coaching has helped me become better at the technical aspects of the movements as well as fostering a healthy environment for his members to progress together.
Such good feedback and encouragement!
Elijah always makes me feel welcomed. Knowing it has been a minute since lifting weights he watches to make sure I have the correct for so I do not injury myself. He is very motivational and encouraging not just to me but everyone in there. The atmosphere is amazing everyone makes you feel so welcomed!
Elijah did a great job, even with so many people. He was able to make sure everyone got the attention the needed and made corrections to improve form.
Coach is great! Elijah offered me several helpful tips.
Elijah is a great coach very knowledgeable and encouraging to everyone in the class.
Excellent coach and a great motivator! Elijah, goes over and beyond as a coach !I really appreciate him and what he does to get me in shape and to be healthy!
Thanks for pushing me to be better! It doesn’t go unnoticed!
Phenomenal! Not only does Elijah put safety and form first, he listens to his class and reflects on their input to expand his ability to reach and aid others.
Elijah was great. Would highly recommend him to all my friends and family.
Easy going coach who is interested in knowing each athlete. Coaches to individuals abilities and asks the important questions of safety such as previous experience and any injuries to note before starting. Elijah is motivating throughout the workouts and makes the class enjoyable and fun.
Awesome place to work out! Great atmosphere and great coaching. Would definitely recommend this gym to everyone.
Awesome job! So encouraging and helpful when needing to scale!
Wonderful class today!! Good motivation and great environment
Today was a good day!!!! I wasn’t really feeling like working out today but thankful for the push Elijah gave to our class. I walked in not wanting to be in the gym but left be glad that I showed up. Thanks for always having my back Coach!!!
Great class, he explains everything in details.
Elijah did a fantastic job warming us up, leading the lift, and the workout. I left feeling accomplished and pushed!
Awesome all around.
What an amazing workout today! Elijah is very attentive to each individual. He walk around to try and prevent members from doing the exercises improperly, preventing injuries. Very great class to attend!!! Come join us and give it a try. I warn you it’s addictive 🦾🦾!!!
Great coaching and environment
Elijah was supportive and focused on proper form with me. I really enjoyed the experience.
Really kicking myself for not joining sooner. Elijah is a great coach 👍🏼
Elijah has grown in his journey as a coach. He shares his knowledge and continues to encourage each of us to be better and to excel in a way that is best for each us. He understands that one size does not fit all.
Really enjoyed dropping in at Velo! Great environment! Great people and coaches! Elijah met me there before class and took time to ask where my fitness level is currently and then took the time and worked with me individually for 15-20 on Bar Muscle ups(I’ve been working on them for a year and haven’t been able to get one) and after working with Elijah I finally got my first Bar Muscle Up ever! Workout was great and a lot of fun. 10/10 highly recommend!
CrossFit Velo is the highlight of my day. Love the coaching, the atmosphere, & the motivation!
Today was a good class. It had a workout with things that I struggled with (wall walks and toes to bar), but I was able to push through. I enjoyed working on fine tuning the rowing. I was able to tweak my pulls to become more efficient with rowing, it was nice to know about the screen showing the pulls. I still need to work on my shoulder mobility so I can be more efficient with toes to bar.
