Now open in their new location for about ten weeks, it is clean, well organized, and offers a large exercise space with quality equipment, locker rooms with showers, and a child supervision area. There is also a crossfit for kids program that I'm interested in getting my kids to try - 2 age groups, 5-9; 10-14. Ryan, Kasey, Karla, and Sean are all excellent coaches and they assist all the athletes during the classes to maintain proper form and technique while encouraging max effort. While I have only been a member for a short time, I look forward to each workout at Ardent Crossfit in Stafford.

Cardio classes are only 15 minutes, I tried out the cycling class. Stretch, Pilates style classes are 30-40 minutes. The box is rather small, I'm under 5'5 and felt my head was close to the ceiling on the bike. This gym is very self driven. You watch a video and follow along inside of the sauna. I personally like completing classes with a live instructor so I don't think this type of gym is for me. But, the positives are it is open 24/7 so it can work with your schedule. You definitely sweat because of the heat. The gym also offers a free weights section in the back. The price was reasonable at $60 per month. Initial fee of $99. They also have an option to pay extra for the traveler so they can use all the hotworx gyms. But I do feel like you could do a lot of these exercises at home without the fee as it is video based. Overall, not a bad concept but just not for me! I suggest you check it out first and see if it's for you. The staff are super nice!

RARE Crossfit is the BEST! The coaching staff, the workouts, the community, the support! If you are…read moreconsidering a great community/ gym, I highly recommend you give them a call. Maybe you've been "trying" things on your own, downloading apps, paying for subscriptions and gym memberships you don't use, watching videos, food documentaries and reading stuff online "trying" to convince yourself that you're learning and making forward progress. Yet, you find yourself in the same place, year after year. I know because I did the same thing and my way wasn't working. I knew I needed accountability, instruction, support sprinkled with some friendly competition. The owners Adam, Lee and their coaches are absolutely amazing and provided all the support I needed for me to get out of my own way and start seeing the results. It doesn't matter how long it's been or what you're shape you're in, what matters is that you decide, and that you show up. I was able to lose 4% body fat, and gained 5 lbs of muscle with the 6 week challenge and continued on. Whenever I got busy or slipped back into my old ways, miss a week or whatever, someone from RARE always called me or texted with encouragement and got my butt back in. I could make any and every excuse not to go (work, kids, stuff, life, busy), RARE always reminded me my why and that I'm worth it. We make time for the things that are most important to us. There are a lot of good gyms out there. RARE Crossfit just does it better. With RARE, there is no more guesswork, they leave no room for you to fail. You will have to put in the work though. Having said all that, RARE CrossFit "IS" the premier workout COMMUNITY. We are all friends that support and root for each other's personal best. Thank you RARE Crossfit for being amazing!

Adam and Lee are excellent gym owners and human beings. I rented office space for my business (Prestige Chiropractic) for one year, and I can tell you that these people are COMMITTED to helping everyone become as fit as possible. I have personally seen Adam, Lee, and Dee putting in countless hours at their facility to help out every individual they possibly can. Whether it be their CrossFit members or their boot camp members, they bring their A-game to their clients to help them achieve fitness and lifestyle goals. They are extremely passionate and give so much to bring value to RARE CrossFit. 5 stars.

I have been doing crossfit for over 2 years and I have done drop-ins in multiple boxes in multiple…read morestates, and this is by far the best box I have been too based on multitude of reasons: Intense programming: They have a new structure of programming i have not seen in any other gym. It's hard and it makes you go past your breaking point. They normally do not do much explaining of the complex movements due to the compact structure of the class. They normally do a warm up WOD right into a strength WOD followed by an hardcore WOD. I was on the floor after each class for 5-8 minutes trying to gather my thoughts and breath. Social: As a typical drop-in you normally are faced with just showing up and not saying anything to anyone. It's a different experience compared to going to your own gym, but they made me feel right at home as soon as I walked in the door. Each person in the class introduced themselves to me and it made me feel like I was apart of this gym. When it came time for me to depart ways after 2 weeks, I was actually sad to meet such awesome people and say goodbye. Cleanliness and structured: Normal places are somewhat clean and organized, but this place is top notch. I didn't feel disgusted or unclean by working out. Automatically, crossfit gyms have a style that is different then most and since they are mom and pop operated, they typically clean it when they have time too - not this place. This gym seemed like it was cleaned quite frequently, probably daily. The stains of chalk from the previous day were gone the next day. It was amazing! Overall, would feel right at home here if I lived in fredricksburg and I am sad that I couldn't spend more time here. I have 1 recommendation because a proper critique wouldn't be done correctly without it: Water station: After each WOD I was desperate for water and since I am a drop-in I don't have the stuff I normally have back home such as a water bottle. They have a fridge that has fresh water, but a large water dispenser with paper cups would be fantastic for a great cool down after theseWODs. If anyone is looking for a workout, this is your place to come. No questions asked. I'll be back for sure!

They do offer basketball and other fitness options. The location is off the beaten track a few miles from the highway on a narrow road. Jeff Rouse is in a housing community. The financing was unique coming from mostly private funds. However, local tax dollars were used and continue to be for its maintenance. It was completed around 2016 timeframe. The surface parking lot offers adequate spaces for large events. The venue offers one of the most spectator friendly views in Virginia for swimming competition. Spectator seating for 800 is on the deck. The pool is a 50 meter movable bulkhead. There is also a 25 yard recreational pool that's used for warm up/cool down during swim meets as necessary. The pool temps were correct and air temps comfortable. Air quality good. The deck space is narrow which is a drawback. Lighting is excellent. A big positive is that pool and decks are immaculately maintained. The staff was great to work with. The pool is frequently used on weekends for USA club meets. So keeping it up takes a lot of effort. I hope to visit again in the near future, but currently do not have on my schedule for 2020. Jeff Rouse is a great facility and the local community of Stafford is lucky to have such a wonderful swimming pool to run competitions.
