I have traveled a lot for business and been members of other gyms, but in my opinion CrossFit Thermal is one of the very few that provides the ultimate three "C" experience: Coaching, Community, and CrossFit Coaching: As I have witnessed it around the country, if you are a "regular" or “experienced CrossFitter” the coaching staff loses interest and focuses on "new" people. CrossFit Thermal is unlike other boxes - coaches are helpful to all levels and ensure that everyone in the class obtains the same level of attention. The coaches are highly knowledgeable and experienced in the areas of CrossFit programming, movement progressions, nutrition, and overall health and wellness. The CrossFit Thermal coaches have a true passion for helping their members achieve their fitness goals, whatever they may be! Community: Open for less than a year, the coaching staff has built an amazing community. Happy hours, group events, or just daily WoD’s, it seems like everyone is focused on the same goal – ensuring everyone is getting a great workout and have a great time doing it. CrossFit: Traveling the country for work I get to experience many different types and styles of programming. I’ve learned that each box has their own unique training methodology. CrossFit Thermal is one of a kind. Not only do they keep movements Constantly (another C) varied, but they also listen to their community. The coaches adapt their programming when needed to ensure the highest level of participation and lowest risk of injury. If you are worried about being new to the CrossFit and not yet able to do the movements, don’t worry, they make all movements scalable to your level of experience and ability! Since joining the box I have PR’ed on multiple occasions and finally conquered the elusive bar muscle-up. I highly recommend this box for all levels of experience.

Whether you are an experienced Crossfitter or someone like myself who had never stepped foot into a Crossfit gym, Crossfit Thermal is absolutely the place for you. I have been a Thermal member for two months so far and it’s been a fantastic experience. I was in need of a change. I was tired of the monotony of going to the gym, putting in headphones and having an unsatisfactory workout. At Thermal you will never leave feeling unsatisfied, trust me! The workouts are challenging but in the best way possible. Regardless of what time during the day or day of the week you attend a workout, rest assured you will have the best coaching and support. The coaches at Thermal are extremely knowledgeable and can assist with any questions or deficiencies you are working on, but most of all they are so encouraging and make you want to become a better Crossfit Athlete. In my short time as a member I can already see solid progress in my strength and conditioning and that is a testament to the coach’s hands-on approach with athletes in every class. Coaches aside, I can’t say enough about the members of Thermal. Whether its veteran athletes or newer members like myself, from the day I started everyone has been so friendly and welcoming. I look back two short months ago when I was making every excuse to NOT go to the gym and work out, thanks to Crossfit Thermal I have made a complete 180 degree turn. The coaching, support from members, the atmosphere all make you want to get in there when you can and work out! I highly recommend Crossfitters of all levels to stop in for a work out and to talk to coaches and members. I have certainly found the place where I want to continue to grow as an athlete, my only regret is that I did not join the gym earlier than I did!

I joined CFT about 10 weeks ago and it is awesome! I am 43 and had plateaued with my traditional gym routine - bi/tri, shoulder, arm and treadmill. I also needed to exercise for health reasons. I am not overly athletic or graceful - I more closely resemble Adam Sandler in Waterboy... but Vinny and all the coaches worked with me, focusing on form and safety - not weight. My first session was very humbling and I realized how out of shape I became. I never squatted before, have 5 screws in my knee and No issues! - because of the focus on safety and scaling the WODs. All the coaches are extremely patient with me, I continue to make progress, and at about the 6 week mark, my body and mind were addicted. Everyone is welcoming and very friendly - this is a great place to meet new friends. People help you with the exercises, encourage and motivate you. When working out, I feel like one I am in one of the Gatorade commercials with a real sense of accomplishment at the end of a workout, something I had not felt since 2-a-days in football practice. My wife and family noticed a difference in my appearance and my next goal is to finish "Murph" next Memorial Day and I am working to be in the best shape of my life. I have already recommended CFT to friends, family and co-workers. Hard work, but its worth it!

I joined Cross Fit Thermal a little over 2 months ago. Coming in with zero Cross Fit experience, I’m ashamed to admit that I assumed the experiment would be uncomfortable and short-lived. I couldnt have been more wrong. From the outset - coaches, seasoned veterans and new members were all incredibly welcoming, encouraging and helpful. Whether it was appropriately scaling workouts or pushing me out of my physical and mental comfort zones, the coaches do an awesome job of instructing and supervising without creating a feeling of isolation for new members. The inclusion factor is huge at Thermal – manifesting itself in a total team sport environment despite the individual nature of most workouts. Stronger more proficient athletes are always willing to augment coach speak with their own experiences as they worked through & improved various lifts/movements. All of this fosters a fun, challenging environment & while Ive got a long way to go, the progress & experience Ive had thus far definitely has me coming back for more. Thermal has become a staple in my weekly routine and I couldnt imagine going back to a time without it. My recommendation for athletes across the experience spectrum would be to stop in, engage the coaches / members and embrace the culture - I highly doubt you’ll leave with any regrets.

Ive always worked out regularly lifting, running, using some machines just trying to stay in shape but found myself getting bored and was looking for more of a challenge. I was always hesitant to try Crossfit because I didnt think Id have the time and honestly didnt know if I would be any good at it being a total newbie. Well I can tell you now, just 2 months later, that joining Crossfit Thermal was one of the best decisions I have ever made. From the first meeting I had with Vinny everyone was extremely welcoming and made me feel at home and comfortable coming to class each day. The instructors are great! Within a week I went from 3x a week to unlimited classes and the classes are offered throughout the day so Ive had no issue finding a class to make any day. The coaches are great they take the time to work with you detailing how each movement is done the right way and helping you find the correct scale so you can progress with each class. Nothing makes me feel better then finishing a class seeing that ive improved my performance! The best part of Thermal is the community, both the coaches and the other members, everyone is willing to help you out and keep you motivated to get thru the workout and Im happy for the new friendships Ive made. If youre looking to try Crossfit come give Thermal a try!
