I am a newbie to Grass Valley but not to Crossfit. I have been doing Crossfit for nearly two years and I can only say Crossfit is the best workout I have ever done. I am in my late 50s and cant believe the change in my whole well being physically and mentally. I was hesitant to try it because I have some back issues and thought Crossfit was only for the top physically fit. Crossfit is for all ages and all levels of fitness ability. I have experienced two other gyms in the Chicagoland area. Coming to Grass Valley, I was impressed with the owner, Ken, and his knowledge, experience, enthusiasm and friendly manner. He has a contagious laughter which put me right at ease. And to boot, he is offering free trial classes for a month. I met his wife , Dani, who is a certified yoga instructor and she shared that restorative yoga classes will be included in the membership. So exciting for me, as I frequented hot yoga back home in Chicago. In addition, I loved the airiness and feel of nature in the gym because of all the windows. I am accustomed to temps in the 90s, though found the powerful, quiet ceiling fan made the gym quite comfortable even in the hottest part of the day. I plan to sign on for a membership and I give Crossfit Pick Axe a 5 star.

I love it here. All the coaches at CrossFit Pick Axe are AMAZING! I was so nervous at first and they made me feel welcome and showed me how to modify everything at first and still today I modify somethings (I row instead of run etc.) I am in my 50s and was nervous about joining a Crossfit gym since I havent worked out that much in the past. Morgan and Ken got me started and Coach B has encouraged me as well on many occasions. I love her :) I have always had an issue with my hips (no range of motion etc.) and a knee injury that flared up just before I joined. I had a shoulder injury years ago in softball and I have always been so nervous about reinjuring it as well. I must say….all have improved since they showed me the mobility and stretching techniques. All the coaches are friendly and have a great rapport with the classes and they explain everything in a way that keeps you safe and gives you pointers on things you may not have even thought of. I know that is their job but they reiterate it every time which I need lol. Kudos to all your coaches…you have a great team and everyone is so friendly and helpful!! I love my new crossfit family and I’m looking forward to getting in the best shape of my life!!!

I took a chance walking into CrossFit Pick Axe. In 42 years of life I have never set foot into a gym before and was intimidated at the thought of jumping into something so intense. However, with a very active 3 year old at home, I am motivated to get in shape and keep up with my little one as he grows up in this active, outdoors environment we have chosen to raise him in. I couldnt have made a better choice. Ken made me feel so comfortable from day 1. And even though I am in a class with participants of various levels, I do my work outs at my own pace, with variations suggested by Ken and JP and everyone is extremely encouraging. I have always had a problem finding the discipline to workout and Cross Fit Pick Axe is actually somewhere I look forward to going to. Love the variety of WODs and feeling the growing pains of muscles I never knew existed. Two Thumbs Up!!

This is my first "official" cross fit experience and I am grateful to have Pick Axe Gym here in Grass Valley. I tried the other competing cross fit gyms in the area but never felt as comfortable and valued than Pick Axe. I personally need the motivation and the community to help me continue to return back for a mind grueling body thrashing exercise experience. Ken Dailey, the owner, is more than just a business man and a coach, but a good overall friend. JP and Brittany are down-to-earth trainers/coaches that really gets to know us as people individually than a mere coach to student relationship. I have grown to appreciate cross fit more so not because of the addicting effects of getting fit but because of the great members and staff at Pick Axe. I encourage all to come try it out and bring your friends and family. It will be well worth it!

This box is awesome! The coaches are all very welcoming, friendly, and knowledgeable. The facility is new, clean, and well maintained as well as the equipment. No worries about overcrowding or sharing equipment which makes for a much nicer workout! Ample class times offered no matter your schedule and class always starts on time (super important)! Ive been a member of several other gyms and fit facilities in the area, and by comparison, this is one of the best! Crossfit has a built in sense of community and belonging, but it takes the right box to really feel it! Five stars all around, no disappointments here!

Over the past several months I have been going to Pic Axe Crossfit and really enjoy my time there. Ken listened to my goals and works with me on incorporating different exercises that will specifically help me in my other activities such as watersking, hiking, and sking. The staff and members at Pick-Axe are super friendly and encouraging. Lots of laughter and hard work. Great group of people. theyre flexible on classes you attend. Im very happy with my results so far. Ken has helped me to make big changes in my diet combined with exercises and i feel way better. Highly recommended!!

I couldnt be happier with Crossfit Pick Axe! I have been coming here since September. I never would have thought I could and or would have such a passion for working out. Ken and Danielle Dailey are so welcoming. Pick Axe is a community and we all look at each other as or like family. We all share strong bonds with each other and we all have a passion to be our best everyday. No one is left behind, We all are encouraging to one another. I couldnt ask for a better box to start my fitness journey at than at Pick Axe. I absolutely love it here!

I absolutely love crossfit pick axe! Its my home away from home and my second family. Not only are the coaches FABULOUS and work so hard to help each and everyone of us and our needs, the community of members is awesome too! Never would I have ever imagined in my wildest dreams that I would love going to the gym like I do. I started as a three day a week member to five days, I just couldnt get enough of the box! Thank you and ken and Dani Dailey for pouring your heart into this amazing box! You guys rock!

CrossFit Pick Axe delivers in so many ways! I have been coming for nearly 7 months now and cant be more thrilled with my progress. They have the ability to modify around any injury or limitation you may be experiencing that day and they truly care about making you live a healthier and happier lifestyle. Healthiest way Ive found to release my daily stress from everyday life. I would recommend this gym to anyone who is new to CrossFit as they do a phenomenal job teaching you the foundational movements.
