I learn a little more everytime Andy is coaching. Today he got it through my head on the proper way to use the GHD. He's also good at, subtly, pushing me to do more.

I always appreciate the coaches helping me figure out the modifications I might need to a workout while also encouraging me to push myself to improve. The ratio of coach to athlete always makes me feel like I’m getting tons of personal coaching which has increased my confidence exponentially in these first 100 days. Looking forward to the next 100!

Being new to CrossFit, I appreciated that she was very attentive to me and made sure that I was comfortable with all the exercises. I also appreciated that when she corrected my form, she didn’t give me 17 different things I needed to fix. She just gave me small, simple cues. That works very effectively for me.

Review for Andy Boyce

Ramon is very intentional in how he coaches each workout. He really takes the time to get to know us individually, noticing things like our form and breathing, then offering clear, helpful feedback to improve. During sessions, he pushes me outside of my comfort zone with challenging movements and heavier weights, but he’s also very thoughtful in providing scaling back options when needed, making sure the workout fits where I’m at that day. That balance of encouragement and consideration makes every class at Cryptid CrossFit feel both demanding and doable. It’s motivating to have a coach who knows when to push harder and when to dial it back, so I leave feeling stronger without feeling overwhelmed.

Kayla is my favorite coach, which isn't something I say lightly because I have never had a bad coach at Cryptid. It means a lot to me that she's knowledgeable about my health issues and she helps me both to push myself and to respect my limits and not feel bad for them. When I feel like I'm not doing enough for my health she reminds me that it's not a race and I'm not the only one who struggles. She's the best!

Emma did a great job making me feel at home and helping me set up for my very first yoga class. I have a lot to learn and a very long journey ahead. I was so glad she detailed every step in the class, my only thought to maybe improve my time is I would have liked to have had Emma directly in front of me so I would not have to keep twisting my head to the side to visually see you perform the moves. So far in my two classes at Cryptid cross fit have been very positive...thank you all!!

PJ has infinity manliness and shows us scaled work to make us feel better about our weak comparable skills. He is kind, but not in a weak way, so don't tell him that, but kind, in a manly "if you work out hard you too can be this strong" kind of way. When I messed up on one thing, he said I was not in trouble at. all. And he rewarded me with 40 eggs. I was like, this one egg is 40 eggs? And he said yes. Now I know I am on the path to certain fitness. Thank you PJ. * * * * *

Andy always does a fantastic job. Having been a member for a while and seeing different coaching styles, one thing I REALLY appreciate about Andy is that he’s constantly encouraging. He does this when we’re in the middle of the wod. The other person that does this well, is Ramon. Everyone prefers to be coached differently- personally I like the more hands on approach. Keeps us going when we’re in our head thinking “I could be sleeping right now, this is dumb” etc He also has a good balance between correcting form and making us laugh.

I appreciate your support of me achieving my goals- today’s was to just keep going. I showed up and that was a win! I also appreciate your affirmation of me listening to my body. Today was not a day to push hard and it’s refreshing to be supported in trusting myself. Your gentle suggestion of possibly adding more to rowing if that feels doable or dropping wait completely during lunges are appreciated beyond words. I continue to trust myself and in turn trust you as the coach as you support me. ❤️
