If you’re looking for a “traditional” gym where you can wear cute outfits and still manage to look flawless when you’re done with a WOD, then Switch Crossfit is probably not for you. (Although, I won’t lie, I’ve still managed to feed my shopping addiction by buying more shoes than I probably need.) But back to switch: If you’re looking for something completely different, engaging, exciting, challenging, and mind-blowing, then you’ve found the place for you. I used to think that just because I was petite and “worked out” occasionally, I was fit; Boy was I wrong. Matt starts you off light during the free intro class, gives you a tour of the facilities and gets you going with a fun workout. If you’ve decided to give it a try by joining the fundamentals program, then you’ve made a good decision. If you’ve decided to become an official member, then you’ve made an even better decision. I won’t lie to you; the first WOD you complete will probably have you thinking “what have I done”, but that pain will pass. If you’re like me and went into this thinking it was a piece of cake, then you might need assistance getting up once you’ve completed your first real WOD. That’s not to say everyone’s experience will be the same, some people are just naturally good at this sort of thing but trust me when I say you won’t regret joining. Once you’ve gotten into a good rhythm and gradually increase your attendance, you’ll soon start to love and look forward to class. Every day is a different WOD and a different experience but the satisfaction of knowing you can do things you’ve never fathomed is probably the best reward for me. If you’re a foodie like me, limiting the Tacos to once a week might kill you at first, but you’ll soon realize that yes, Tacos are good, but being healthy and physically capable of surpassing your own limits is much more satisfying. The facility itself is spacious and the equipment is organized, clean and updated. The trainers at Switch are always concerned about safety and proper technique so they’re always available to answer questions, address concerns or give you tips if you’re struggling with any skillset. The prices are extremely reasonable and Matt works with members if you need any accommodations. Aside from the normal classes and additional programs available to suit your needs, Switch constantly organizes outside events for members, family and friends. As I mentioned before, Switch is not your traditional gym and that’s what makes it so different. You’re not just joining a gym; you’re joining a community of friends and family who all have a common goal of bettering themselves and motivating each other. Switch welcomes people of all shapes, sizes, and backgrounds with varying abilities. You will never feel judged but always encouraged and motivated at Switch Crossfit. So, what are you waiting for!?

An amazing place to improve your fitness. Thats how Id summarize my thoughts on Switch CrossFit. In full disclosure, Matt Krakowski, the owner of Switch CrossFit is my brother. While you may think that I am biased due to this, and I probably do have some level of bias, let me tell you why Switch CrossFit is an amazing place to improve your fitness. 1. Matt is a highly certified and knowledgeable trainer. This matters at Switch because every time you go in there you will be getting personal instruction from Matt. This is not a place you go to and do your own thing. You will always have guidance under the expert eye of Matt. 2. You have the support of the community. While small at this time since the gym only opened 6/1/13, the community (and Matt) will keep you going. I had not had success sticking to a training program until I experienced the community environment that CrossFit brings. 3. CrossFit is the most efficient workout. Im a busy guy and I dont like to waste time at the gym. Yet I want the benefits the gym has to bring (health, looks, etc). CrossFit is without question the best way to get this as you are in and out in 1 hour and every time you go it will feel like the best workout of your life. I promise. 4. Switch CrossFit is the opportunity to make your place of fitness your own. Since it is so new everything is fresh -- the equipment, the people, the community. This is great as it allows you to make the place feel like home and not some cookie cutter establishment that doesnt care about you. Anyway, although I do have the bias these are all objective statements and reasons why I think CrossFit in general is excellent and why Switch CrossFit is excellent. If you live in the vicinity look no further -- you have found your fitness partner for life!

If you are trying to be healthier, be a better athlete, get stronger and feel and look better or any combination of those, then you will want to give Switch Crossfit a try. I have been a loyal member since the gym opened and the results come fast! Are the workouts intense? YES! That is how you get those results, but all the workouts are able to be scaled to fit whatever ability level you are at now. A great perk about working out in a CrossFit program is having a coach that will watch and make sure you are fundamentally sound, so you are not hurting yourself. The next is that the gym is more of a community and we all get to know each other, so that adds a supportive and motivational environment. Matt is the head trainer at Switch and he is very knowledgable about fitness and nutrition as well. That means that joining this gym also gives you access to not only better fitness, but resources to build a better diet. Do yourself a favor, go to the FREE intro class, at least check it out, because no matter what age you are, or what shape you are in now, if you can commit to the Switch CrossFit program, you will end up feeling the best you have in your life.

Ever since I got out of the Marine Corps, I have been looking for a work out environment in which I could thrive. I tried working out at the gym and even tried doing several home fitness DVDs, but they never kept me motivated. And then I found Switch CrossFit. I love coming to this place. I started going her when it first opened and I cant imagine going anywhere else. While the workouts are very engaging as you try to test your physical limits, there is no undue pressure placed on you to overexert yourself. The head trainer, Matt, is very knowledgeable and provides another way of doing an exercise if you are unable to do so at the time. CrossFit is made for all ages groups and body types. You are challenged to do what you can do, not what somebody else can do. And the best part is that this feels like a community, not some corporate gym where you are a faceless entity no one cares about. Switch is home to many friendly and encouraging individuals who do not look down upon you, and they provide the motivation that keeps me coming back for more.

Switch Crossfit has experienced and friendly trainers, a variety of class schedule options and a comraderie that is second to none. In addition to losing weight, I have become stronger and have found myself doing things I never thought possible! In an efficient one-hour class, you will challenge youself, be inspired and find that your goals will only continue to grow. If you are looking for a proven and effective program with convenient scheduling and small class sizes, Switch Crossfit is the best choice. Ive been a member at Switch for over two years. I honestly began the fundamentals program thinking I would just try for one month. With the help of the trainers and owner, Matt, I was able to recommit to myself and my fitness goals. Ive competed, climbed ropes, lifted really heavy weights, made friends and surprised myself countless times. Give it a try. You might just surprise yourself, too.
