What started as a freelance screen printing job ended up honestly - without being too cheesy - being the best opportunity of my life so far. I dropped in for a class after printing the gyms shirts and I fell in love with it. The energy in this gym is unparalleled - you feel welcome and part of the community as soon as you walk in whether youre a drop-in, CrossFit newbie, or a regular athlete, and your presence is truly recognized and appreciated. The facility is huge and everything is kept clean and organized. My favorite part is the big "chill" area with picnic benches to hang out in all wod-drunk after class with your fit friends. The owners - Ben and Mike - along with their other coaches, are among the most genuine people Ive ever met. Super down to earth, funny, and they genuinely care about every single person that walks through the doors. Coaches will go out of their way to help you. Mike (Coach Verdi) spent an obnoxious amount of time with me listening to me complain about my broken body and helping me fix it. Mobility - commonly overlooked in most CrossFit gyms - is one of the top priorities here, which has made the biggest difference for me personally. Dont be fooled though, theres just as much emphasis on intensity. Come to this gym ready to fight... and stay a while because youll get better, faster and stronger. Programming is well planned and thought out, and is scalable to any fitness level, #liftlikeKayRon ;) Even if youve never ever done CrossFit in your life, the coaches will take the time to make sure youre doing everything safely, correct, and still getting an awesome workout. In fact, if youve never done CrossFit before, this is absolutely the place you want to start. Being a CrossFit coach is something Ive tossed around for a while but never fully committed to. When the opportunity came up to be a coach here, I immediately jumped on it. You can tell Ben and Mike poured their heart and soul into creating this place and I still cant believe I get to be a part of it. As a new coach, I cant wait to see how much Ill grow under their mentorship and Im really excited to develop relationships with all the athletes and help them get better - both in and out of the gym! If youre in the Tampa area you NEED to check this place out. The positive energy is wildly contagious and it will probably change your life... its definitely changing mine ;)!

I don’t usually take the time to write a review about a gym, but after working out and talking shop with the team at Cigar City CrossFit I felt I had to. First the facility. This place is huge and they have all top of the line equipment. Barbells, kettlebells, row machines, 30ft ropes, sleds, giant tires, medicine balls, devil bikes, etc… the list goes on and on. They built the CrossFit gym that I dream about. Second, the owners. These dudes are both knowledgeable and sincere. Coach Verdi took the time to watch me move before I participated and introduced to the group. After we finished the WOD I oft handedly mentioned that my shoulder was sore and Coach Bunn (or Bunny as they call him) worked with me for another 30 minutes 1 on 1 to go thru multiple mobility drills. Granted my shoulder still gets sore, but after doing those exercises it feels 110% better. It’s obvious that these guys care. I think it’s about time I hang up the LA fitness membership and start working with them full time.

Check out this gym, they’re doing it up right. I consider myself a pretty in shape guy as I have a collegiate swimming background and I still compete here and there, but after working out with Cigar City CrossFit I felt like it was my first time in a weight room. I came in for one of their open gym classes on a Saturday and brought my buddy Dave. We didn’t know what to expect at first as neither of us has ever done CrossFit before but Coach Bunny took the time to explain everything first and make sure we knew what we were doing before he set us loose on the workout. I’ll add that the dude is hilarious and jacked with some gnarly tattoos. The setup of the gym is right and I love that I can take my shirt off and get after a workout with music bumping loud in the background. Great experience, I’ll be back again.

Cigar Cirty CrossFit is like no other Crossfit Gym in the area. The quality coaching and hands on approach provided by the owners Benn and Mike will improve the skills, strength and endurance of all levels of fitness. The coaches help set personal goals for their athletes and have amazing programing. Before jumping straight into Olympic lifting and complex gymnastic movements, Cigar City CrossFit conducts a fundamentals course insuring proper technique is used increasing safety throughout workouts. Cigar City CrossFit also has the best atmosphere of any gym! With a community of like minded individuals who either want to compete or just get a good workout in for the day it is easy to stay motivated!

I enjoy and love the community Cigar City Crossfit is building. Each time I go I am welcomed, hugged, appreciated, mentally and physically pushed for the 60 minutes Im there. Another great appreciation is they stick to their hourly classes which is reliable if I only know I have an hour to get it in. They provide a wealth of knowledge not only pertaining to proper form but nutrition as well. I love it there. Its a place I know Ill meet my maker when it comes to pushing the limit. I respect and look up to each and every single coach they hire. The coaches are individually sculpted pillars of fitness knowledge that hold up the gym.

Over the last 3 years, Ive consistently dropped in at 4 boxes in Orlando, Lakeland, and Tampa. Cigar City Crossfit is my 5th and final location to train. The owners and coaches are top notch. The facility and equipment is well clean and well maintained. The programming and WODs are purposeful and challenging. And the box culture is very social, diverse and supportive. If you are looking for a place to be a better "you", I recommend checking out Cigar City Crossfit.

This place is dialed in! I love it. What a fantastic facility run by some of the friendliest most knowledgable professionals you can ask for in crossfit. I cant say it enough how impressed I have been with the equipment available, space for training, quality of expertise and all around cleanliness and organization of this business. If you want to get fit and feel great make the first best step by walking in the doors of Cigar City Crossfit. A+

I visited Cigar City CrossFit for the grand opening and was amazed by the facility-This gym is no joke. In addition to being the largest facility in the area, what theyve done with the space is ah-mazing. Two rigs, lifting platforms, turf for flipping tires and sled pushes, everything you could ever want, they have it and then some. The coaches are very knowledgable and you can tell they know what they are taking about. I will be back for sure!
