Cal is always teaching technique, went over rowing techniques today that helped out immensely. Always encouraging during workouts, and always has a pulse on every person and where they are fitness wise.

Sure, here’s a message for you: --- I’ve been attending Coach Zach's CrossFit classes for a few years now, and I can confidently say he is absolutely fantastic. One of the things I appreciate most about coach Zach is his emphasis on correct form. He doesn't hesitate to tell the truth and correct you, ensuring that you get the most out of every workout while avoiding injury. Despite my long tenure in his classes, I always learn something new from him. I enjoy picking his brain, and he is always—without fail—open to sharing his ideas and strategies about training. Highly recommended! And so glad I found the Tusk family.

Nate is a rockstar. Super knowledgeable and encouraging throughout the workouts. He always helps me out, and makes me feel like Superman even when I show up after missing the last two weeks and after eating ice cream on nights when I shouldn’t, he helps me get back into shape and feeling healthier!

It was great!! Zachary helped me push myself to my limits. Which i feel i need for motivation. It felt really good after finishing the workout. Not gonna lie it was tough and exhausting but it was fulfilling after class. Hoping tomorrow’s body aches won’t get in the way of joining the 7:30 class. Again it was fun and an amazing workout.

Cal is a coach of coaches. He has cultivated a gym of athleticism, camaraderie, and compassion. The people come first, and that is evidenced by Coach Cal’s ability to make each person’s needs his priority. He will push you to your best self by helping you see your potential, which often has nothing to do with numbers but form, skill, and discipline, and then the numbers speak for themselves. Putting your trust in Tusk, is putting your trust in Cal, and his vision for a gym that’s a lifestyle and a community that has changed my family’s lives for the better.

Hugh E.

Cal is an outstanding coach. He is always aware of every member training in his class. He’ll stop by, correct your posture if necessary, and adjust the WOD reps based on your performance. His class doesn’t get better than that. Well organized, friendly and rewarding. Best Box in the valley! 5 ⭐️ 1/2.

Zach was personable to all the members in class and gave instruction for correct form during the strength portion and workout. The class never felt rushed and we could get the help we needed from him. Zach was great to have as a coach on a Monday morning.

Love taking Zach’s Barbell club classes! It’s a great way to focus more on technique and strength training. He’s also very encouraging and very attentive to every member in the class! It feels like I’m getting 1:1 coaching even in a large class because he’s so intentional!

Anna J.

Coach Cal is very impressive. He manages to give individualized coaching while running a full class and making sure it starts and ends on time. I started at Tusk not knowing anything about working out consistently, had never touched a barbell before, and certainly never pushed myself. 5 years in and this is a workout community that I never plan to leave.

Paula B.

Jun 28, 2024

As a member at TUSK for many years, I appreciate how Coach Cal knows exactly when to push me and when to scale me. I love how he is extremely present for every workout and is there for each individual person equally.

Chance J.

Jun 28, 2024

Zach did great as usual. He does a great job organizing a large class and controlling the chaos in order for everyone to have what they need. Not only is he an excellent and knowledgeable coach and a good encourager, most importantly, he laughs at my jokes. Which means I’d give him 6 stars if I could.

Luis R.

Jun 28, 2024

Zach is a great coach. He is always pushing us to step out of our comfort zones to do better and work harder while ensuring that we don’t compromise form.

Michelle K.

Jun 28, 2024

Cal did a great job of scaling the workout enough to help me get through it but still challenged me to push outside my comfort zone. Thankful that I’m making progress in my running even while I hate it!

Zach is an awesome coach. He knows my abilities and how to push me to do my best. He also knows when I’m trying to push myself beyond my limits and scales me back when necessary.

Jimmy N.

Jun 28, 2024

Cal did a very good job warming up the class and coaching us through the WOD although I think Coach Patrick Pushpress might have done a better job.

Ben S.

Jun 27, 2024

All the coaches are great. They learn your names and greet you by name when you come in. They do a great job breaking down the workout and getting you warmed up for class. They are also great at helping you figure out how to scale the workout for your needs.

Brian P.

Jun 27, 2024

Caralyn is a rock star! She always takes the time to explain the workout in detail and makes sure that you understand exactly what you are doing that day. When it comes to coaching during the strength portion or workout portion of class she is very good at keeping an eye on everyone to make sure they are doing it correctly and is very good at coaching an individual when needed. Whether that is tweaking your form to prevent injury, giving you a suggestion to improve your skill and/or efficiency or just a verbal "good job, keep it up!" to keep you motivated! Lastly, she is very personable and very friendly to any and all members too!

Kel W.

Jun 27, 2024

Caralyn is always “crushing it” as the noon coach, fostering a strong community of premiere athletes who are all smart, handsome/pretty, and extremely athletic.

Erin W.

Best gym in town. Will accommodate to every need and workout level desired. I’ve been through a pregnancy and now a personal injury and all the coaches are extremely knowledgeable/trained in helping to modifying the workouts to keep you moving. Oh and they offer special technique lifting classes on Friday evenings and there is a Dr. physical therapist onsite.

I love attending Caralyns classes, she truly is the best and always an inspiration.
