Several months ago, I was like a lot of people out there - not happy with my current level of fitness and curious about CrossFit but full of objections: Its too expensive and too fanatical, Im not strong enough or in good enough shape, I dont know if I even like lifting weights, and what if I get hurt? Just like me, theres probably a reason youre interested in trying something new. I have never been a "gym person" and could not muster up the emotional energy to tolerate moving from machine to machine, doing the same mundane exercises over and over, with minuscule results. I had been wanting to give CrossFit a try for a while, but wasnt quite sure where to start (so many gyms, er, "boxes," funny workout names, and moves I didnt think I could ever do). Coach Jobie and the CFV team were so welcoming and took great time and care to answer all of my questions and ensure I was coached on proper techniques each time a new movement was introduced. They have a great balance of modifying workouts to my skill level while also challenging me to push myself. I also have appreciated and benefited from their focus on nutrition -- something I really did not have a good understanding of before. They have a great athlete community of encouragement, accountability, tips, and even meal/recipe ideas that make it a lot easier to stay on track with healthy eating than going it alone. I completed a Whole 30 this past January and was really encouraged by their Facebook community where we all shared pictures of our "clean" meals - ha! The real testament - I had a goal to get back in shape and lose 20 pounds in 20 weeks, which I achieved, largely in part to the coaching, encouragement and advice I got from the CFV team. CrossFit is a great approach for anyone wanting to focus on their physical health, and Virilis is a wonderful box with people who are as caring as they are knowledgeable. And to respond to my earlier objections, its not "fanatical;" people like it because its fun and they are excited about the results theyre seeing. Expensive also is relative. Money is more about priorities than affordability. At this point in my life, Id rather do something for my health than drop a bunch of cash each week at happy hours or late nights at the bar. And really, the box is more like personal training than a gym membership. If youve been thinking of taking the leap to give CrossFit a try (or get back into it), this is a great place to start. If you dedicate yourself, they will help you achieve whatever goals youve set. Thank you Coach Jobes and the CFV gang!!

I absolutely love this place!!!!! My journey at Crossfit Virilis has been life changing. I continue to progress on a daily and I have met some of the most encouraging and wonderful people here. We are like family and continue to grow and welcome new members. Coach Jobim is very tentative and will help you progress at your own pace no matter what level youre at. It doesnt matter if you are a crossfit professional or someone who doesnt even know what crossfit is, there is a place for you and it is a judgement free zone. If you are looking for a great place to workout at, I would encourage you to stop by and talk to Jobim or Tanya, they are nothing but amazing!

I have been a gym rat for years, jumping from gym to gym. I lost all motivation and knew I needed change in routine. I found Crossfit Virilis and tried the trial week and fell in love! It was exactly what I needed. Coach Jobie is amazing at instruction and motivation. He is always finding fun new ways to help us live stronger, healthier lifestyles, challenging us consistently either in the box or even at home with clean eating. I have seen all ages and different backgrounds of fitness levels, all workouts can be modified. Crossfit Virilis is a family of great inspiring athletes, great coaching and great sweaty WOD fun!!!

It took me a long time to finally grow some nerve to try CrossFIt. And when I did, I found CrossFit Virilis (CFV). It is the best decision I made in term of fitness. Coach Jobim is very professional and knowledgeable about CrossFit. He is very patience in training novice to advance cross fitters. The work out hours is accommodating to my schedule. The atmosphere is flooded with very inspirational people who is trying to do their best in their work out. It has been a year now since I started and I am completely hook.

I have been working out here 3 days a week since January, and love this place. If you are looking for a good trainer Jobim is your guy! My first few sessions I was really frustrated with how out of shape I had become, but he showed a lot of support and gave me the confidence to keep going! Regardless of whether youre an experienced athlete or have little experience with fitness, I would highly recommend this place.
