Tried & True

Coach Jenn is challenging but also recognizes individual limitations. I love the Legends CrossFit class. Everyone is so encouraging and the class is filled with laughter. It’s a celebration of our accomplishments no matter how small. I have avoided a Reverse Shoulder Replacement just by doing the Legends class. I plan to be a Legends ‘lifer!’

Feeling valued as a person by a fitness community is a highlight of Tried & True noon class. Each class I attend pushes me to my limits. Whether it’s the steady, burning tension building in my legs from lunges, the controlled intensity required to maintain perfect form during weighted squats, or the rapid pace and heart-pounding rhythm of circuit training, every exercise demands my full focus and effort. Coach Kahyla walks the room to carefully observe everyone's correct and safe form. That focused guidance makes me feel truly seen and supported, not just a number in the class. Their presence is steady and encouraging, which motivates me to push through challenges. After every session at Tried & True, I walk out not only physically tired but filled with accomplishment and pride in the effort I put in. It’s that combination of being pushed hard by the challenging workouts and feeling genuinely valued by the coaches and community that makes every class something I look forward to with enthusiasm. Thank you.

Sam is very clear with Instruction. She is a great encourager and her humor makes class a lot of fun!!!

Kathy is an excellent coach, making sure we apply correct form and technique. Provides productive feedback!

Every session you are provided with great guidance no matter what your fitness level is. Always there to help and encourage you to do the best you can. I have worked out at Tried and True for over 10 years

Kahyla is an amazing coach. She encourages and pushes us to be the best we can be.

I like that the pace is such that its not overwhelming for beginners. With that being said there are opportunities to push yourself. Our instructor Jen is very positive, upbeat and encouraging.

Jennifer did amazing today as always. Her energy lights up the room and gets people moving. She also serves the perfect compliment, correction, compliment sandwich. I’m there for the mental jumpstart as much as the physical. Thanks for what you do!

The class allows everyone to participate within our physical ability to complete the various activities. Modifications are made as needed, encouragement to go out of our comfort zone is given, and individual instruction is given we're warranted. Jennifer makes the class fun, gives us the reasons why the exercises are valuable to us as seniors, and absolutely looks out for the safety of the class members. She endeavors to learn about the physical challenges and needs of each member and keeps them in mind during the workouts. Love this class!

Jen is always enthusiastic!!! She’s knowledgeable and is always prepared to give good recommendations for modifications…I really enjoy her classes

Great class, so much support!

Always such an upbeat and encourage class with Kahyla

Coach Jenn always demonstrates movements so it’s informative and beneficial whether you have been to class for years or it’s your first time. She makes sure every class is fun and the camaraderie is welcoming. AAA +++

Kahyla does a great job of explaining the movements, getting everyone working and talking together feels like the noon class even with other people coming in always has a home feeling to it, makes it a comfortable environment to attend. But also challenges all of us each day.

Coach is an amazing and encourage me to gain strength and never leave me out at all. Keep me included with the team as well.

Tried and True is my go to drop in when I’m in from Ohio visiting family. Jenn is so welcoming and always checks in with each athlete on capabilities and scaling. She watches and actively coaches everybody’s technique as we are warming up and building weight. Such a fun class, great music, great people! Thank you Jenn!

My favorite thing was I hadn't been in the gym in 2 years and she made it like I never stepped away!! Seriously love the drive she has and the push she gives where its needed.

I meet up with Jen and had a discussion about the class to understand exactly how it would run. I’m 100% satisfied with how it is structured and ran at Tried & True. She organizes everything smoothly, from warm-up to cool-down, making sure every minute counts. Jen does an amazing job not only explaining the exercises clearly but also demonstrating proper form so you feel confident doing them. She will help encourage you with genuine support but also push you to your limit, carefully adjusting the intensity so you’re always challenged just enough to exceed your goal. During the workout, she checked in regularly, noticing when I needed a little extra motivation or a slight modification to keep me going strong. I definitely got the best workout I’ve had - every movement felt purposeful, my heart rate stayed up, and I left feeling both exhausted and accomplished in a way that makes me want to come back for more.

I enjoyed the camaraderie & the modifications you gave. Your encouragement helped me do more than I thought I could.

Jenn was great! She took her time to clearly explain everything and patiently walked us through the class schedule so I knew exactly what to expect. During the workout, she made sure I understood how to do each move correctly, carefully observing my form and offering adjustments to keep me in safe positions. She checked on me throughout the session, which made me feel supported and confident, especially when trying new exercises. The music was upbeat and really kept the energy high, and the group was super encouraging - everyone cheered each other on, which made the class feel like a team effort. Overall, it was a great class at Tried & True that left me feeling energized and motivated to come back.

I like the variety of the warm up sessions and the workouts themselves. The main reason I decided to do Crossfit is that I didn’t want to lose anymore of my agility or mobility because of my advanced age. Happily I’m finding that I’m still actually progressing.

Kahyla always does such a great job coaching!

I had my first Crossfit class with Coach Kahyla. I had a great experience for my first class! The atmosphere was warm and welcoming, and the overall vibe was super positive. The coach did an amazing job explaining directions clearly and offering helpful modifications whenever needed, which made the workout feel accessible yet still challenging. Overall, it was an excellent session and I cannot wait to plan my next class!

Jenn always has a lot of energy and makes class so much fun. She gave me good feedback on correcting my form with my squats, and was supportive when I didn't feel well!

Today’s workout was great!! The coach led us through a mix of strength and cardio exercises that really kept everyone engaged and motivated. I noticed how they paid close attention to each person's form, offering adjustments and encouragement that made a big difference. The energy in the room was contagious, and it felt like everyone was genuinely supporting one another. After the session, I felt stronger and more energized than I expected. This kind of workout and atmosphere is exactly why Tried & True stands out as a gym where you can push yourself and have fun doing it.

She did great 👍

Jenn’s a great coach and her energy is contagious

Ron was very good at explaining the workout moves. He was encouraging and offered constructive help during class.

To be honest I was very intimidated going into CrossFit in general. Jenn has made it so stress free and welcoming. This class was a challenge especially for someone like me who has little upper body strength but Jenn provided multiple modifications that made the workout challenging yet able to be accomplished based on my specific strength and skill level. Jenn is very knowledgeable and makes sure to appropriately demonstrate all skills and makes sure everyone practices each part of every skill before the workout begins to ensure safety and proper form. If you’re thinking about joining, I would highly encourage meeting with Jenn to customize your workout!

My daughter 11 & myself started this journey together. The Coaches Jennifer and Austin have been great. Even with a class full they take the time to show and explain the routine and correct movements. They also offer modifications with the same impact to the focused area without judgment. Great friendly atmosphere.

I have been coming to tried and true for over a year now. I do not think of myself as much of an athlete. When I first started attending classes I was nervous about knowinh what to do, how to move , or what people would think of me. When I started I didn't even know that I wasn't suppose to kick my butt when jumping rope... I had a lot to learn. Jenn has helped me so much through this adventure of health, she helped me learn to jump rope, lift weights and just move my body better. She is an excellent teacher and I am so thankful that I have gotten to have her as my coach. She has done an excellent job of taking the fear out of working out, of making sure you can do a movement, and scaling it if need be. The tried and true community is extremely welcoming and supportive.I have found friends in class and have enjoyed working out with the entire Tried and True staff. I may still not totally know how to move my body, but Jenn has been there through my entire adventure, and her energy and kindness keep me coming back. If you are even thinking about trying out cross fit you couldn't ask for a better coach, regardless of your fitness level

Love going making the noon. Class when I can. Coach kahyla motives me and we have fun at the same time. Even when the wok out is a struggle she makes me feel like it's doable.

Always encouraging and explains everything well.

She's great! She takes time to help and understands my issues. She's very knowledgeable and if I don't understand something I ask and she has a good answer. She is a great encourager. What she does is a super big WOW!!! And the others in the class are great I'm amazed what they do and what Kathy has taught them!

Tried & True was just what I needed. I reached limits I never knew I could and my body has changed for the better. Thank you coach!

Best coach ever. Checks each and every athlete to make sure form is correct

Great coach, always evaluating class participants and what they need to do to improve.positive even when correcting.

Great motivation and she corrected my form on two separate occasions!

Jenn always brings great vibes to class! I appreciate her more than she will ever know. She is always checking in with members and pushing us to work hard and strive to be our best. Not only does she push us during class she always is there to be a listening ear when things aren’t going our way outside of the gym too. Jenn is a stellar human, amazing coach and a great friend! So glad to have her as my coach! 🫶🏻

5 Stars ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ There is something truly special about this gym, and it starts with Coach Jen. No matter what kind of morning I am having or what health challenges I may be facing, she is always right there with a smile, motivation, and the kind of energy that gets me going. She does not just lead us through workouts, she uplifts us. She makes everyone feel seen, capable, and stronger, not just physically but mentally and emotionally too. The impact she has had on my life reaches far beyond the gym floor. She has helped me build confidence, consistency, and a mindset that I carry into every part of my day. This place is not just about fitness. It is about community, support, and becoming the best version of yourself inside and out. And I have to mention the coach who runs the coffee shop, Coach Kahyla. She is always there with helpful guidance about nutrition and wellness. Whether it is a quick suggestion, encouragement to make healthier choices, or just someone to check in with about your goals, she plays such an important role in keeping us on track. The jiu-jitsu program offered next door with Coach Ron has also been an amazing addition. It is a powerful outlet that builds discipline, confidence, and mental toughness. It pushes you in a different way and complements everything we do in the gym. The physical and emotional benefits carry over into everyday life and add even more depth to this incredible community. This gym has become a part of my life in the best way possible. I am so thankful to be a part of it.

Kept class on track, was encouraging, and as always helped with modifications. I appreciate how all the coaches monitor form and constantly encourage you to keep going.

Thanks for the encouragement today. It was my first day back in a bit and I was feeling it. I always appreciate the positive culture that the gym offers even when I'm struggling.

I love coming to Tried and true because of Jens positive and energetic attitude. Today's WOD was a hero workout for flight 800 and Jenn explained the background of the story so we could reflect why we were there. It was a hard workout but not as hard as the families of flight 800 had it.

Jen is always giving helpful tips on how to do the workouts safely and most effectively. Tried and true is always a positive experience with nothing but positive vibes, support and encouragement.

She is just the best! She is such a great motivator and educator! She truly cares about all her classmates and I'm lucky to have her as a coach!!

Kahyla did great today when I dropped in! She was friendly and made me feel apart of the class. The direction she gave me on my deadlift form was helpful and I felt better about my lifts going into the workout. I would definitely try to make it in for another class if I’m in the area!!

Kahyla makes everyone feel welcomed and gives them extra motivation during each class. She is always in a positive mood and enjoys helping others achieve there fitness goals.

Kahyla did a wonderful job coaching class today and the other days I take classes with her! She is informative, friendly, supportive, and gives helpful feedback.

Always supportive and encouraging and pushes me to strive harder I cannot say enough good about Jen

Classes have been very enjoyable so far, i've been learning a lot and Jenn does a great job of explaining how to do things properly. She is also very patient with having to keep reminding me to adjust my form! The other people in class have also been very welcoming and helpful!!

This morning's class was on point. I really enjoy the active recovery workouts. My body always feels better after these workouts.

Jenn is an excellent motivator and explains in detail the work outs! This is especially helpful when doing Crossfit for the first time.

Jenn White is always willing to make members comfortable, but still push them to get better. Her classes are filled with hard work and a lot of laughs/fun.

Jenn was so supportive and upbeat, making my first class a great experience! Excited to come back!!

Jenn is the best & this class was so much fun! 🤩

I enjoyed the class. It was intimidating at first because I haven't lifted weights using a barbell before. Jen was very encouraging, supportive and made sure I was doing it correctly to avoid injury.

I’ve never taken a class like this before and was super intimidated but Jenn made me feel comfortable right away! She was very encouraging and helped modify things to help me be successful!

Jenn is an effervescent joy of a coach. She makes you feel comfortable and at ease during workouts. She’s also genuinely interested in getting to know everyone’s individual goals and limitations and keeps that at the forefront of the class. I really enjoyed my first class and can’t wait to go back.

I dropped in today (from DE), the legends class and Kathy was amazing. Everyone welcoming. The balance, mobility, stretching and WOD was perfect!

Kahyla was an amazing coach and very helpful to learn the proper technique and encourage maximum performance

I an truly enjoying my workouts at Tried and True. Jenn is great at explaining what and how to do it (I am a newbie) and keeps me motivated. Initially I was intimidated by the workouts as posted but found that with appropriate modifications I am able to do the workout.

Jenn is awesome. Helpful and encouraging, and funny :)

You were amazing as always!

Excellent, just excellent Moved it

I love that Jenn pushes me and sees my full potential when I can't see it at times. She never gives up on me when I am not able to do a movement and always gives me some kind of modification to keep working towards my goals.

Jen is always amazing! It was nice to see everybody! She has worked amazing things with me each time I visit! I am forever grateful for her positivity!

Jenn always makes even the most challenging workouts fun. If something is intimidating or out of my scope to do just yet…there is always a modification. I love our sarcastic banter - makes 5:30am more than tolerable! <3

Kahyla does an awesome job making everyone feel welcome and accommodating different skill levels with appropriate scaling options! She makes classes fun and personable for everyone! 10/10 would recommend!

Love Jenn's classes! She's very personable, knows when to help push you as well as when to back off. Couldn't ask for a better gym. All the coaches are great!

I love the way jen breaks everything down. There's examples of modifications. She is supportive of everyone and their individual fitness levels. Class is fun and challenging.

It's always a great workout with Jenn. Always gets my day going & I feel better about myself.

Great class
