With the sensitivity in my elbow I was a little nervous with today’s workout. Zach did a wonderful job on helping me with today’s workout. I was hoping to be able to do presses as he suggested but I opted for front squats instead. Thank you Zach! TUSK has the best coaches!!!

Another tough workout today—as usual, haha! But I just want to give a big shoutout to Coach Laura. She's always so helpful, not just with me but with everyone in the class. Whenever we have questions about form or technique, she takes the time to explain and demonstrate things clearly. Her encouragement throughout the workout really keeps the energy up and helps push us through. Grateful to have such an engaged and supportive coach!

Brett N.

Apr 22, 2025

I was pretty tired today but Laura was very motivating during class and the workout and I was able to push through. She’s very knowledgeable with all the movements so I knew exactly what I should be doing. The class ran smoothly and ended on time. I’d love to try and attend her classes more often.

Cal Is a great coach. At your age, he knows exactly how to scale your workout is spot on and has a great sense of humor. I love his coaching and has always loved it. I have been going for almost 8 years and he’s always great.

Liz R.

Apr 14, 2025

Just finished up today's CrossFit class and it was a great one! Loved the focus on strength and that was a burner. The coach was awesome, encouraging and attentive. Feeling challenged and a good kind of tired. Thanks for a solid workout!

Glen W.

Zach is always awesome. Last week he had me try putting small weights under my heels when I do back or front squats and it really helped with the depth.

Even in the shorter class time of Burn 30, Laura led a great warm up and coached us through what as written as a somewhat confusing workout. She was great!

Jimmy N.

Apr 11, 2025

As much, AS MUCH, as I want to lambast Coach Short because he is who he is, I can’t. Zach helped me scale today’s workout, given my hesitancy with my lower back, and I was able to get a heck of a cardio workout from it. Zach has also been one of the voices encouraging me to push myself a bit more through my rehab, and to that I am eternally grateful.

Luis R.

Apr 11, 2025

Coach Zach is the perfect blend a push a little harder but be safe not to get injured.

Anna J.

Jan 14, 2025

Coach Caralyn worked with my lower back issues today and altered the movements to allow me to still get a great workout but protect the muscles that were giving me issues. And everyone in the class was supportive, I never feel uncomfortable doing something different than the workout of the day. Great class today!

To start, the warm ups are always so thorough no matter what the workout is. You can always count on every movement being broken down and gone through thoroughly! Cal is always readily available to answer any questions and help with any modifications if necessary. Feedback and corrections during the workout are also given which goes to show the attention to detail as well as emphasis on good form this gym has!

Ben S.

Oct 4, 2024

Coaching is always great. Through guiding class through a specific warmup for the days WOD, to helping you determine how to scale if need be. They then walk around during workouts to make sure you are staying on track to finish the workout.

Everyone here including Carolyn just has a good vibe I’m 17 and I’ve been trying to get stronger Everyone there lifts more than me but not once did I feel judged or looked down on Everyone was giving me tips on how to do different movements and how to avoid getting hurt If you have a large ego that could hurt. But if you have a positive attitude towards working out and you want to progress and BECOME strong versus go to a gym to LOOK strong you’ll have a great time. Seriously, other gyms positive advertisement is “nobodies looking don’t worry” but here everyone works together and will help you And if you’re more introverted and don’t feel like talking, I’ve noticed people are responsive to that as well

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.

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.

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.

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