"JUST WALK INTO THE GYM" That is what my friend who had been doing Crossfit for a while said to me when I told him that I was interested in Crossfit but intimidated to start due to my current level of physical fitness. So I did. I walked into Sigma Crossfit and met Ted Lavarias. I told him I was flat out of shape, needed to do something about it, and was a bit concerned about starting an elite training regimen a few months before my 47th birthday. That turned out to be one of the best moves Ive made in my adult life! Ted walked me through the Crossfit philosophy, gave me a tour of the gym, and invited me back the following day to start "Elements" the 3 session series that teaches you the basic Crossfit moves that is the basis of the program. After 5 months, I have lost 20 pounds, increased my strength and flexibility, and learned to incorporate exercise into my life again. Ted and his wife Nicole are two of the most motivating, and dedicated trainers I have ever come into contact with. It is clear that they genuinely CARE about you pushing yourself to be better. You will not be pressured, or screamed at to push harder - Ted and Nicole will make you want to do it for yourself. If you are concerned about the intensity and or difficulty of the movements DONT BE. All of the exercises are "scalable" there are several options to complete a movement or exercise if you cannot do it as "prescribed". There are people at Sigma aged from their 20s to their 70s and all are able to complete the workouts and better themselves. I travel for a living and have been to several Crossfit "boxes" or gyms. I can tell you that the crossfit philosophy is the same wherever you go - but you WILL NOT FIND a better instructor team than TED and NICOLE LAVARIAS at SIGMA CROSSFIT. Walking into SIGMA CROSSIFT literally changed my life! Walk into SIGMA CROSSFIT - take advantage of the free trial and Change Yours!

One of the best decisions you can make for yourself is to go to Sigma Crossfit. This particular gym is a life changer. They truly care about your progress. You can see and feel the genuine excitement when progression is made. They teach you the proper way to do things. Things you never thought you could do. There is no such thing as the word "cant" in this gym. Its "I havent yet". My wife and I joined in 2012 and using the knowledge weve gained from learning the proper foods to eat (an added bonus is the nutritional factoids), weve lost more than 60lbs combined. I have a smaller waistline than when I was in high school 20 years ago, but am stronger than I ever have been. You cant help but make friends, of all ages, in this gym. You are competing every day against them, however you want them to do well and the feeling is mutual. The competition is very inspiring. I was tired of the same old "chest and tris", "back and bis", and "legs" workouts. Blah blah blah. Boring, boring, boring. I tried running for awhile, but again it was not fulfilling. Each day at Sigma Crossfit, there is something new and different. The workouts strengthen the entire body. It is a functional strength. I feel it in every day events. Whether its picking up my children and throwing them up onto my shoulders, or carrying the entire load of groceries in one trip from the car, or chasing my dang dog when he gets out of the yard... Sigma Crossfit prepares you for any of lifes physical exertion challenges. Try them out for a month, if you dont like it, what have you really lost? Most people I know that Ive introduced it to have been hooked.

Life-changing experience!! I am a newbie to Crossfit- been going since Jan 3rd, & its been a good 15 years since I have worked out on a consistent basis. I feel compelled to share my experience with Sigma Crossfit because I never in my wildest dreams thought I could do any of the workouts! First of all, from day one, Ted Lavarias has worked with me to scale workouts to my specific needs and ability level. I never thought I could work out this hard and survive. Ted teaches you correct form and really takes time to educate you on how to properly complete a workout without injury. Somehow Ted has a way of making you push your own limits and discover what you are really capable of without over-doing it. Not only do Ted and Nicole make EACH person feel welcome, they truly get to know each of their customers and pay attention to their individual needs and goals. I was welcomed BY NAME on day 2 and was made to feel a part of the "family" right away. And, when I say family- it truly operates like one. I am regularly the last person to finish WODs and I have people cheering me on that I dont even know! No one acts like they are "better than" or "stronger than" at Sigma. It is a team effort and everyone works together to help each other achieve our personal best. I am learning so much about my own abilities! Not to mention squats, lifting, strength, and endurance! Sigma has changed my life and outlook on fitness and I feel so blessed to have found this Crossfit- I actually look forward to my workouts now! If you are at all on the fence, come see Ted- you won’t regret it! If I can do Crossfit, anyone can!

If you are looking for a CrossFit Gym that will give you a safe and intense workout…look no further! When I was reading the reviews on several of the CrossFit gyms in my area, I stumbled upon Sigma CrossFit. I was really impressed by number of recent and very positive reviews and more importantly, how many reviewers had mention Sigma’s emphasis on safety, form and technique. When I walked into the doors of Sigma CrossFit, Ted Lavarias greeted me with a warm smile and gave me a quick tour of the place as folks from the class were arriving. Everyone was really encouraging and I felt very welcomed. Ted ran the group through the workout of day and through a really thorough warm up. Next, Ted walked us through the mechanics of the exercises and coached us on our forms. Once everyone had an idea of the weights they were going to use, we began the Workout. It was intense and exhilarating and left me with sore muscles, but completely uninjured. I was amazed by the constant support from the group and I really appreciated Teds continued involvement throughout the workout. It made me want to work harder. That was day one… I’ve now finished my third week and can honestly say that every day since my first has been exactly the same. Warm-ups, Instructions, coaching, and exercise! These three weeks has shown me some of the amazing things the body can do when you’re taught the correct techniques. I am excited with the progress I have made and I cannot wait to see what I can accomplish three months from now.

When I was first looking for a crossfit gym or "box" to join, I did a ton of research and relied heavily on the reviews section for each gym in my area. I ended up joining Sigma because I could not find one person anywhere that had anything negative to say about it. After spending 4-5 afternoons a week with them the past 8 months, I still cant find a negative comment. Ted, Nicole, Andrew, and Grant are all extremely knowledgeable and interactive coaches. Nothing gets done before proper technique can be demonstrated. This is what really sets the gym apart for me, the attention to details of form and technique which can be glossed over at other places. Not only is the coaching staff amazing and supportive, but the members are all extremely welcoming and provide a healthy environment of encouragement and competition. As for results, I have lost 40lbs since starting with Sigma this past October. I am leaving only because I am relocating to the Austin area, and the hardest part about the move is leaving behind this gym which has literally been life changing for me. If you are within 20 miles of this place, make the drive and see for yourself. There is no better Crossfit gym in the metroplex.
