My "workout" routine in the past, was solely from High School and College club sports. I would sign up for various gyms with the $30-$50 monthly rate and it was a total waste. IF I showed up, I had no clue what to do. I would run on the treadmill then do some abs and the was it. My boyfriend had been toying with the idea of starting crossfit. He did extremely thorough research prior to joining. He found Crossfit Empirical. They offer a free class for anyone to try it out before you commit. We decided to try it out. CHANGED MY LIFE! I wont lie, I was nervous. The idea of a using a barbell was very intimidating for me. But after that first class I was hooked! It has that competitive edge I was missing from sports. A great thing they do is make everyone new take elements classes. This is where they show you all the different movements and lifts. And at the beginning of every class, they do step-by-step walk through of the movements. So you are never lost. Which helped me out a lot! It wasnt just the workout itself but the amazing staff and members of Crossfit Empirical that had me hooked. They make everyone, at any skill level, feel like they belong there. I have been a member for about a year now and I have loved every sweaty, exhausting moment. When you achieve a goal, no matter how big or small, they are just as excited, if not more, than you. I have made some great, life long friends from CFE. They are family! I know for most people the price point is a show stopper. DO LET IT BE! Yes, it is more than youre average gym but it is totally worth every penny. You get so much more out of this than you would at any other gym. You get amazing one-on-one training by the coaches and you will find your self looking forward to go to the gym vs. dreading it. Bottom line...JOIN! Or at the very least try it out.

For years my best friend wanted me to try CrossFit, I was very intimidated and scared. In the past I had always gone to the “gym” and worked out but thought I could never keep up with CrossFit. I finally gave in and decided to just try it but never expected to love it from day one! CrossFit Empirical was my first choice. From the moment I walked in the door I was greeted with open arms. Everything is explained and demonstrated thoroughly each and every day. The owners, coaches and staff are very knowledgeable and helpful. They focus on what your abilities are and help you gain strength and confidence. I suffered a horrific accident where I was shot in the chest with a shotgun at point blank range and left for dead. I was given a 1% chance of living and was told I wouldn’t make it through the first 24 hours. Miraculously I did make it and I did beat all the odds against me. I had a long road of recovery ahead of me. I thought there was NO WAY I would ever CrossFit again. I had half of a lung removed and have severe nerve damage in my left hand. I had absolutely no feeling in my left hand and could barely move it. I was determined to get back to my BOX and they were anxiously waiting for me to. My CrossFit Empirical family never gave up on me and I couldn’t let them down. Three months later I walked in the door and we got right to work!! Everyday there was a WOD but there was also Deb’s WOD. Everything was scaled down to fit my needs. Every day is still a challenge for me but with their help I’m doing things I was told I would never be able to do!! I am able to move my hand a little more but still have no feeling in it and I am doing pull ups, dead lifts and so much more!!! I truly believe CrossFit saved my life and CrossFit Empirical gave me my life back!!!!

After running 1/2 marathons for 6 years, I was looking to finding a gym to "work out" again. Both of my co-workers are doing Crossfit and love it. My neighbor approached me with a goupon for Crossfit Empirical which is in our neighborhood, so after reading the reviews, I wanted to give it a try. We attended our "elements" class with Gui the trainer who was great. Then the next day I attended my first WOD. Well, that is all it took for me! Not only are ALL the coaches amazing, the people who you meet along the way will be the same people you will work out with day in and day out (along with newbies that will join in), they will become your friends! I have lost 12 lbs, reduced my migraines, stress and have become stronger as I head into my 50s. Yes, I said that word. I am doing Crossfit and I am going to be 50 years old next year and I can clean 115 lbs, deadlift 175 lbs, front squat 150 lbs and probably kick your butt (if I wanted to). Just sayin. I lucked out. Most people have gone through "other" Crossfit gyms before finding Empirical, I found them the first time. They are as good as it gets! I am hooked on Crossfit, hooked on taking care of myself and my health.

I was recently introduced to CrossFit Empirical about a month ago. Before I came to this gym, I did not have any experience working out in a CrossFit gym. However, I had been to other CrossFit gyms with friends. My background has only been hot yoga for about 4 years. When I went to CFE with a few friends, I met the owners and coaches who are truly inspiring and motivating. I was never interested in CrossFit because I did not want to end up "bulky." Jenn (one of the owners) explained to me that CrossFit will not make you bulky unless you work towards that. I came back to CFE a week later to try my first WOD and loved it. The coaches are great and they are extremely helpful. I was a bit scared because I was not familiar with anything, but they explain everything before the skill and the WOD so you do to correct technique without hurting yourself. I am 3 weeks in, and I am so happy that I signed up with CFE. I immediately felt welcome and part of their family, which makes being a member there that much more fun. CrossFit Empirical is hands down, like no other!

I didnt think much of CrossFit until I joined CFE. Since then, Ive become "one of the family" at the gym and look forward to going as much as I can. This gym--or "box" as it is called--is more than just a place to lift weights or do an intense cardio workout. You make friends fast, and you suffer through the workouts together--in a good way! The coaches (who are also the owners) and their staff are focused on proper form and output from their members--less on just "getting through it." Youll never hear a coach demand more weight or more than what youre capable of doing--CrossFit is about growth, and this box more than embraces that concept. As they have opened, the gym has grown organically--in both size, membership, and togetherness. This is a sign of both the training you receive and the strength, both mentally and physically, you get visiting CFE. I couldnt say enough good things about this gym.
