Elizabeth as usual was organized and had a clear audible voice. Also thank you for helping Cyril with power clean form. Great encouraging atmosphere. Thanks for asking about Katherine. If any critique I would encourage even more critique on form. Also sorry for crashing the weights won’t happen again.

As intimidating as CrossFit can be to an outsider, Michael and the team at POFP were nothing short of accepting a newbie such as myself and being patient in coaching correct form to make sure I got the most out of the workout in a safe way. Was it challenging? Absolutely. Rewarding? You bet. I recommend anyone to check them out to take, at a minimum, the trial class. The only disappointment you’ll have is if you finish the workout knowing you didn’t do YOUR best as the support to do so surrounds you!

This was the first formal class I have been a part of in years. Though I was apprehensive to try, Elizabeth made me feel welcome and comfortable. I soon learned I can set a pace that I can handle and build from. I look forward to the next class.

Coaching is awesome! Elizabeth is always ready to answer questions about the terminology of each exercise listed, patiently breaking down any confusing words so you really understand what you’re doing. Most importantly, she takes the time to teach the correct techniques and methods, focusing closely on proper posture and positioning while performing each movement or using the equipment. They don’t just tell you what to do - they watch intently, noticing small details in your form, then guide you through adjustments that make each movement safer and more effective. I’ve learned a lot from their detailed instruction and feel more confident with every session. Beyond the coaching, I really enjoy the support from both the coach and the members in the class. There’s a genuine sense of encouragement throughout the workout, with people cheering each other on and sharing tips, which keeps me motivated and fully engaged. The combination of clear teaching, hands-on guidance, and a supportive community at POFP crossfit makes every visit rewarding and something I truly look forward to.

I am brand new to CrossFit and working out in a gym, and POFP crossfit has been a great place to start. Elizabeth is a great instructor who shows real patience with me, taking the time to explain every movement and workout clearly. She is very knowledgeable, breaking down complex exercises into steps I can follow and always making sure my form is right. The workouts themselves are awesome - each session challenges me in different ways, mixing strength, cardio, and skill work that keeps me engaged and motivated. I can already feel results after just a few classes. On top of that, everyone in the classes has been very friendly and encouraging, creating a welcoming atmosphere where I feel comfortable asking questions and pushing myself. This community vibe makes a big difference and keeps me coming back.

Cait is very supportive and encouraging during class. She consistently checks in on how I’m doing, offers helpful tips on my form, and motivates me to keep going even when the workout gets really tough. I really enjoy her as a coach, especially on those days when I’m not feeling my best - her energy and encouragement make a noticeable difference. When Cait is coaching at POFP crossfit, I know I’m in for a good, hard-earned workout that challenges me just enough to push my limits without overwhelming me. Thanks for your support, coach Cait!!

When I first started taking class with Elizabeth as the coach. She asked me if I had any issues. I told her that I had rotator cuff surgery and the middle of my back between my shoulder blades was always sore. She said that strength training will be beneficial for me. Along the way of over the 1 1/2 years, I had some issues with my heart and she would tell me to listen to my body, and genuinely cared. I have followed her directions and continue to get stronger. Thank you to Elizabeth and Team Always enjoy the sweat 😊
