Halle was an amazing coach who made my first true intro to a CrossFit-type workout at System Athletics feel approachable and manageable. She was friendly and welcoming right from the start, creating an environment where I felt comfortable asking questions. Throughout the session, she stayed close, carefully watching my form and offering clear, encouraging guidance to help me get each movement right. I never felt like I was thrown to the wolves or neglected, which was great because it meant I could focus on learning and pushing myself without feeling overwhelmed. The pacing was perfect - challenging enough to make me work hard but balanced so I could keep up and build confidence. 10/10 experience that left me excited to come back and keep improving.

Tommy is one of the most knowledgeable and attentive coaches I’ve worked with. I’ve been dealing with knee pain recently and have had to modify a lot of workouts. Instead of just offering basic alternatives, Tommy took the time—even during a busy class—to help me find ways to move pain-free while still getting a solid workout. He makes sure everyone in class is moving safely and offers personalized adjustments when needed. I had a great class and always enjoy it when Tommy is coaching!

I always appreciate Emmy’s classes because of the high level of instruction and coaching that takes place. When you take her classes you know there will be specific drilling and a warm up that has you ready to let it rip during the lift and conditioning. The way she trains you during the barbell movements reminds me of being coached in the way I was as a college athlete so I’m a big fan

Emmy pinched my love handle in the middle of pause jerks today. She was like “what’s this? A piece of mortadella??” I was like “no means no Emmy!” And she was like “I’d slap you in the ass if you had one you old bag of farts” then she pushed me until I tripped over a dumbbell. Dylan stood there and did nothing. Nothing. Some fucking partner. I’m gonna pants Emmy next time she’s coaching. The workout was fun at least. Until the pinching incident. I’m gonna send pics to HR this afternoon.
