Crystal Coast CrossFit

I love class with Coach Katie. She always has useful knowledge for every WOD and not only provides helpful advice but always gives encouragement!

Bree was knowledgeable and motivating.

When I workout by myself it takes me forever because I tend to procrastinate moving on to the next thing I wrote down, and somehow it ends up taking an hour longer than I expected. I also find myself changing some of the exercises I originally planned because I don’t feel like doing them. At Crystal Coast CrossFit, Coach John does a great job managing time so that workouts stay on track without feeling rushed. He carefully explains each movement, breaking down the form step-by-step, which makes it easier to follow and understand. What really stands out is how he demonstrates different ways to scale or improve a movement tailored to the individual’s ability - whether it’s adjusting the range of motion or suggesting alternative weights - making sure everyone can get the most out of the workout. This personalized approach keeps me motivated and focused, and I appreciate how he checks in during the session to help me refine my form or encourage me to push a little harder. It’s clear he’s paying attention and genuinely wants to help each person succeed, which makes the whole experience feel supportive and efficient.

Allison rocks as a coach.

Allison was the coach, she's not listed as an option to choose but she was great!

Good morning! I really enjoyed the class. I think there was a good warmup and plenty of explanation of the workout. I also enjoyed all of the scaling options available for all levels. The gym was clean and organized too, which I really appreciated. Finally, I appreciated feedback and small tips to improve skills work and the general upbeat attitude. Overall I had a very positive first class this morning. Thank you!!!

She is amazing, as always!!

Katie’s workout was great. She was attentive to my limitations, given this was only my second CrossFit class. She monitored my progress and gave me feedback on my techniques to ensure I was working the correct muscles. She also made adjustments to my workouts as needed, setting personalized realistic stretch goals for me!

As someone new to CrossFit, I couldn’t have asked for a better coach than Colleen. She breaks movements down into simple, easy-to-understand parts that build on each other—before you know it, you’re lifting with solid form and confidence. What I really appreciate is that she meets me where I am. She asks about my comfort level and abilities, helps me find scaled options that make sense, and never makes me feel out of place. At the same time, she doesn’t baby me—if she knows I can do more, she tells me and shows me how to do it safely and correctly. Her approach takes a lot of the intimidation out of CrossFit. I always leave her classes feeling like I learned something new and actually got better, which is exactly what I was hoping for when I started.

Great and consistent coaching!

I enjoyed today’s workout. The tips Colleen gave for bench press, keeping heels on the ground and shoulders and hips on the bench with a curved back were helpful.

Love the C3 crew. Knowledgeable and Professional. They readily accommodate scaling participants… Highly Recommend!

I had a great time and it was a great high intensity workout.

Nothing compares to the energy, community, and quality of coaching at this CrossFit gym. From the moment I walked in, I felt welcomed and supported, whether you're a beginner or an experienced athlete, there's a place for you here. Coach Jon stands out as one of the best coaches I’ve ever worked with. He’s not only incredibly knowledgeable about technique and programming, but also truly invested in every athlete’s progress. Jon has a way of pushing you to your limits while keeping workouts safe, effective, and most importantly fun.

John is a great coach - knowledgeable, attentive, and encouraging.

Fantastic Coaching. Great Classes.

It was an awesome class. Thank you for being very patient with me and super helpful!

Jonathon brought an incredible energy to Crystal Coast CrossFit today. He motivated the entire class to push hard, stay focused, and get meaningful fitness in. His cues were clear, his timing perfect, and his encouragement felt genuine and uplifting. Thanks to his leadership, the group left with a stronger sense of momentum and a renewed commitment to their training. If you’re craving a workout that fires you up and drives results, Jonathan is your coach.

Coach Mike was very enthusiastic and encouraging throughout the whole class, while stressing the importance of safety and proper technique with each exercise. I’m looking forward to to another class with him.

Johnathan was great! He is very motivating and gives very positive instruction. The guys in the class were also very welcoming for my first class and I never felt awkward of out of place. Would absolutely recommend CCC to anyone looking to get into it!!

An encouraging coach that is friendly and super knowledgable - great workout!

Great experience, thanks for having me. First work out at a CrossFit gym and was impressed and thankful for the coaching leading up to the workout.

As a Cross Fit newbie I would say Colleen is amazing. She made me feel Welcome and her coaching style is very easy to follow. She is very positive and brings lots of good energy to her class!! I look forward to future Sessions with her as coach ☺️

Fantastic class and good energy! Made for a fun workout.

Class was ran well. Everything was scheduled well to give plenty of time between warm up, the workout, and cool down. Coach John was welcoming and helpful as was the rest of the class.

Johnathon was supportive, helping me learn the exercises, while getting to know me. He helped me to start learning how to climb a rope, something I had never done before.

Amazing!!

Mike was the coach tonight. It was challenging but great!! The best first CrossFit class for me!

Excellent. She’s great ☺️

Colleen did an amazing job, she helped mold the workout to my unique needs and encouraged me to push harder😊

So good on form tips.

Colleen was great! It was my first visit to this gym and I loved it. Great atmosphere, friendly coaching and members, thorough warm up and instruction throughout. Will definitely be back!

100% fun times

Loved the feedback on the V ups!!!

She did amazing! Loved the coaching and the slight adjustments to my form!

Colleen is a great coach (as well as a great person😊) We had a lot of fun. Very nice gym😊

Colleen was super helpful today. I was having trouble remembering the sequences for each of the different exercises and she would break each one down for me and watch my form to make sure I was doing them correctly! I really appreciate her coaching!

Call Sign: The Barbell Boss If Beyoncé and a rogue barbell had a baby, it would be Coach Bri. Precision, power, and just the right amount of sass—all wrapped up in one squat-racking, WOD-crushing legend. Bri doesn’t coach you through a workout, she summons your inner beast with a look, a lunge, and the occasional “Is that all you’ve got?” (Spoiler: it was.) She’s got the ability to count reps, correct form, and silently judge your protein intake—all at the same time. We’re still unclear if she was forged from cold steel or just raised on pre-workout and burpees. Either way, her coaching is elite. If Coleen is the #Kettlebell, Bri is the #Barbell: straight-up strength, solid as a rock, and guaranteed to humble you faster than Fran. 10/10 would cry during warm-up again.

Great coaching and a friendly gym family!

It was great!

Coach Mike was great. We will be back tomorrow!

Colleen helped a lot today with my kipping movements.

Johnathon was excellent. Super professional, kind and very helpful.

Travis was an amazing coach! Very encouraging, and engaged!

Amazing coach!

After taking a few months off, coming back 4 months pregnant was nerve wracking, but Johnathon helped me feel comfortable with the exercises I did, and helped modify the workout to accommodate pregnancy restrictions. Super helpful and so glad to be back!

Encouraging but not afraid to make you sweat till you want to yack. Also- music is always on point!

Coach John did a great job of moving our class with fun and purpose. It was a heavy squat day and he came around to each of us giving cues or just letting us know how we were doing. Class was great as always!

coach Brianne Was great. She focused on good form for us those what we had to do and kept us inspired at the whole time. Fantastic Gym and Great vibe

Dropped in today for bring a friend week.

Colleen was an excellent coach who made this gym feel so welcoming! CrossFit has always intimidated me, but the positive vibes, workout variations, and encouragement made it so much more comfortable. She pushed us while ensuring we did it in a safe setting.

Such a fun class! Really loved the partner workout aspect.

She did amazing! She explained everything clearly and gave several ranges of exercises to hit everyone’s level. She was attentive to our form and helped correct when needed. She encouraged us and made it fun. I can tell that doing these kind of workouts over time would definitely build my strength and endurance!

Colleen is a wonderful coach! She helps you through the work out and scales it to where you are still getting that challenge with your skill level! I will be going back!

This was my first ever class, so wasn’t sure what to expect. It was great though Colleen explained everything and was there to help and show you modifications when needed!

It was a great introduction a good beginning

He coached very well. Clear instructions and fun class to workout in!

Great coaching! Colleen really helped make my 1st day, great!

Classes usual was challenging and great workout. I was able to try double unders and hone in on wall ball skills. Jonathon is an excellent and thorough coach, who points out any areas we can improve on and do better.

Wonderful technique guidance

Very encouraging! I always feel welcome.

Travis coached, under the watchful eye of Bri! It was a great first class back after taking a month or so off to move to Morehead City. I appreciated the tips on technique and loved the thorough warm up.

Amazing!! Knowledgeable about exercises and how to modify as needed

I had so much fun! Thank you so much for being so encouraging and uplifting the whole class! Thank you so much!

This was my first cross fit experience and I was feeling a little anxious because I’d heard how tough it is. Bri was the coach for my first class; she made it fun and challenging, while encouraging/cheering everyone on throughout the workout. The other members were all fun and welcoming as well. If you’re considering a gym membership, go check out Crystal Coast CrossFit!

Solid instruction, especially with a “boring” workout. 10/10 would recommend

Brianne is awesome to work with. She is a great teacher, very aware of proper body mechanics to prevent injury, and can easily modify exercises for anyone that needs it. She is super supportive and encouraging and makes the workouts fun.

Great! Everyone was kind and very welcoming. Great atmosphere 👏🏻🤗

Great experience! It can be very intimidating to show up to a new place, knowing you will be the only one that does not know anyone. But, Colleen was the first to greet me and introduce me to everyone. Colleen has a very positive attitude and good energy and made sure I knew what I was doing and that I was not getting lost in the prescribed workout. I will definitely be back!

I thought the class and the people were awesome! Overall it was a very positive environment. Honestly it was exactly what I was looking for, getting to try things that I'm unfamiliar with. I can't wait for it to become less foreign so I can push myself harder.

It is very comfortable to train with the excellent work you do, thank you for your work

I felt super welcome, and it was nice to have a coach really helping with technique!

I dropped in here and John was helpful and accommodating. He did a great job of explaining the movements and working with the athletes. Will come again when in town!

We stopped into crystal cove while on vacation. The facility, people and coach made it a wonderful experience. Will be back next time!

My husband and I dropped in while on vacation in Atlantic beach and had a great time! The gym is awesome and the people are just as amazing! If you’re in Atlantic beach I definitely recommend trying out this gym to get a great workout and meet a great group of people.

👍

John M did a great job coaching thus morning. The workout was challenging but definitely worth the work! Great gym and environment with a great community!

Colleen was awesome!! So welcoming and kind. She was also incredibly professional and really knew her stuff as a coach. Stoked to have been apart of her class today, and excited to try it out again :)

Coach Johnathon is super helpful & supportive!

Very professional staff. What a crew!!

John was a great coach! Focused on form, safety, and making me feel extremely welcomed!! Can’t wait to come back!

Katie has that great coaching style that issues a simple and unquestionable challenge so you push yourself from the start, but is supportive and encouraging to help you as you struggle through all the intensity of class. 10/10 would recommend

I had a great time at this gym! Lots of helpful/specific cueing and super friendly people. I’ll definitely be back the next time I’m in the area!

Dropped in from central IL and loved it! Such a welcoming environment and the members and Colleen made me feel right at home the second I walked in. Colleen was an awesome coach from a member point of view and as a coach at my home gym myself, I took some pointers I want to use with my own classes!

Brianne is a great instructor--as solid as they come. Very thorough explanations and demonstrations. Evident familiarity with most participants and the right amount of social interaction, without taking away from coaching. Excellent cues to improve mechanics, and she gave feedback to participants as she walked the room during the workout. Offered many ways to scale the movements for the differently-abled.

Colleen was great! My third or fourth drop in visit from CrossFit Naos and every experience has been 5 store!

This was my first time at Crystal Coast CrossFit. Everyone was very welcoming. I felt like a regular. The gym is clean and well kept. Johnathan kept me accountable throughout the workout. He made sure my form was correct. He and the other trainers are very professional. This is a great gym to be apart of!

Thanks for encouraging us to keep at it - especially towards the end !

Colleen was great! I haven’t done an actual CrossFit class and she spent time making sure I was set up correctly and working effectively.

Good, very good

Bri was a great instructor! Very encouraging and nice! I had a great time.
