Ive never written a Yelp review but feel compelled to offer the following. My personal belief on fitness and health is that 80% of the battle is just showing up. To review CrossFit Loft on their programming only wouldnt do it justice. An equally, if not more important, part of CrossFit Loft is the community. The community is what makes you want to show up and what challenges you to work harder and what makes it fun. That said, heres some points that add detail to my thoughts. 1. Trainers – CrossFit Loft has three coaches that have each been to the CrossFit Games on more than one occasion. That alone doesnt make a great trainer. However, its certainly fun to know that they understand what it takes to get to the Games. There are also trainers that specialize in Strongman, Power Lifting, Olympic Lifting…etc. Each has a specific strength/background and sees different things each time you workout. This blend of coaches makes it really easy to get better fast. Multiple eyes see many things and can give you the direction you need to improve. 2. Gym Itself – CrossFit Loft is well laid out with a traditional "box" format downstairs and a wide open area upstairs for mobility, warm-up, cool-down…etc. There are strongman implements, a huge pull-up system, and enough iron and rubber for multiple "heavy" lifters. The place is clean, organized and really well taken care of. Space is often a premium in a CrossFit box and Loft has a ton of room. Its nice to be able to spread out and not feel like your encroaching on other. 3. Programming (The Workouts) - The programming is driven by an individual that has coached another local team to the Games for the past three years. The programming is broken into three levels so the workout for the games athlete is similar for the novice. Options are always available for people with injury or other issues they are working through. 4. Community – This includes the coaches AND the athletes. Ive been to a number of CrossFits, spending months and years at some of them. The community at Loft is 100% driven to helping each other get better. Most CrossFit boxes have "Leave your ego at the door" written somewhere. Loft is no different, ego and arrogance isnt tolerated and doesnt last very long. If youre looking for the easy path, youll probably want to keep looking. If youre looking for challenge and diversity, Loft is a really great place to start.

Looking for a place to get great workouts under the guidance of expert instructors AND workout with a community of nice, supportive people? Look no further as the Loft is for you. Dont worry about your fitness level coming in as there will be a place for you. Hey, I started as a 65 year old man! If I can do it, so can you! Sure it will be hard but that is what makes these workouts so good. They are well-constructed (I have a doctorate in exercise physiology so I know what I am speaking about), safely led, scaled to your ability level and very, very motivating. And did I mention how nice everyone is you workout with?

I have been crossfitting for over 3 years and have tried a few different gyms and I will call the Loft my home until they kick me out:). The quality of coaching is above and beyond what I have found in other locations. I had accepted that I had plateued and that I would never get certin movements. But after only a few months of quality coaching the results have been prs on almost all my lifts and improvement in my gymnastics since joining. Thank you to all supportive and amazing coaches.

I love working out at the Loft. I tried another Crossfit gym while living out of state for a year, and couldnt wait to get back to the Loft. While the other gym was fine, the environment at Crossfit Loft is something else - the coaches here are top notch (and great people!), the place is clean and pleasant to spend time in, and the community is a welcoming and supportive group of people. This place makes working out FUN.
