I often read reviews and wonder if they are real. You can easily look me up, and youll find that this is the truth. I am an elementary PE teacher. Ive always tried to stay in shape. Unfortunately last summer my son was diagnosed with leukemia. Our "new reality" became sitting around a hospital room, eating fast food, sleeping in a chair, and tons of stress. As you can imagine, this crushed my physical health. I lost muscle, gained fat, felt terrible, and forget fitness. I weighed more than I have in my whole life. As my sons progress improved, I started to try to run when I could (I had to take a year leave to be his primary caregiver). This helped, but I wasnt seeing the results I wanted. Some close friends had great success with the 24 day challenge, and gave it to me as a gift. I followed it to the letter, but did not have luck. Frustrated, I was then blessed with a gift from a parent of one of my former students. They bought me a 3 month groupon to cross fit X-change. It is quite different than things I have done in the past. I have always lifted heavy in the gym, but this challenged me in new ways. It hasnt been easy. I even contemplated giving up because of past shoulder issues (John, Sherri, and Gus wouldnt hear of that though!) There were others that started with me who didnt put the work in, but with awesome support I DID. Results in just 3 months: My waist went from a 38 to a 35. Stomach went from a 40 to a 35. Quads went from a 24 to a 23. Neck went from a 16.5 to a 15. Chest went from a 40 to a 44. WEIGHT went from 212 to 192. Average mile in a 5K from 9:30 to 8:30 Beyond those results there is the community. The members have encouraged not only me by have rallied to my sons side. Prayers are constantly offered in his battle with cancer. Sherri (one coach) cleans extra carefully so he can hang out while I work out. She even got him some super hero figures to cheer him up (it worked!) Gus & Johns dogs have been ambassadors/babysitters for him. He has truly learned a huge life lesson: Hard work + a loving community = success!!!! This is true in all areas of life. Thank you all!!!!!

Ive been to Planet Fitness, paid $10 a month and saw for my efforts a $10 return. A friend of mine (we all have one) was always talking about crossfit. How it changed the way he worked out. It was obvious to me something ge was doing was working because he was in the best shape I ever seen him in after knowing him for 2 years. So I went down to crossfit exchange, and the trainers there were a lot different than what I expected. Down to Earth, knowledgable, and fun. I was expexcting impossible idealistic drill seargents, I didnt get that. And instead of being left alone in a room with weights and machines, workouts are done together as a class led by the trainers. A much more communal feel than the isolating feeling of being at the traditional gym. I highly reccomend you look into the Exchange. Youll never look at fitness the same again.

This gym has changed my life. Ive tried out many crossfit gyms in the area before but none have clicked like this one. The people are so friendly and laid back, but they do work when its go time. I have not only gotten in the best shape of my life under the leadership of John Prescott and the other coaches, but I have also found a second family at this gym. I have been pushed to my limits in the best kind of way. I cant go here and slack off, which I like. John Prescott knows what each athlete is capable of and knows how to push and inspire them to be their best. The atmosphere is the perfect combo of fun and focused. This gym and the family within are literally the best parts of my day. I am so thankful I found this gym!

CFX is one of the most enjoyable gyms Ive been to. The coaches are great and personable, while still giving you the direction and experience you desire for each class! As all gyms are a large family, I have felt most at home with this amazing group of people! No matter your fitness level, everyone is very welcoming and met with smiles! Ive been a member for five months now and love it more each day. I had just moved to Raleigh and didnt know anyone. The members at CFX have helped me move furniture, shown me around town and made me feel welcome since day one. Couldnt have asked for a better community to be apart of.

I have been a "family member" of CrossFit Exchange since January of 2013!! This group of folks have supported me through so many things and are ALWAYS there to provide whatever motivation and coaching that I might need at that (ever-changing) moment.. The thing I love the most is that EVERYBODY is welcomed - no matter what!! We are all blessed with different talents and abilities and the coaches are able to work with you from the very beginning and help you as you expand into the amazing things you will see yourself accomplish!! An amazing family!!

My first experience with crossfit was at Crossfit Exchange, and I have never looked back! As the gym has grown over the years, so has my love for the sport of fitness and the community of people that are now my friends and family. Highly recommend giving it a try- no matter where you are or what your goals are, you can do it and this place will help you get there.

I joined crossfit exchange almost 1 year ago. It was my 1st crossfit experience. Before doing crossfit, I thought I was somewhat in shape because I ran a lot. Now a year later after doing 3 to 4 WODs a week, I see so many improvements in my fitness level and continue to set goals. Exchange offers a great atmosphere, coaches, and fellow athletes to call friends!

Walking into Crossfit Exchange was my first real exposure to the Crossfit community and I fell in love! Just had my 3 year anniversary and wouldnt change a thing. Great people, great community, and all around great place to do fitness, challenge yourself, support others, meet awesome people, and achieve new goals.

Great people. Well equipped. I especially like the strongman equipment. Yokes, handles, kegs, stones, heavy DBs. All in all a positive experience. Will definitely be dropping back in when Im back in town.

Many thanks to the coaches at Crossfit Exchange for all the help during the 1 month that I was there. I feel stronger and more toned.

This is my home away from home. CrossFit Exchange is far more than just a place to sweat. Its a lifestyle of fitness and wellness.
