I don't mean to leave a bad review, but I don't believe this gym is open. I have tried calling the number listed multiple times to set up an appointment to view the gym, but I always get sent to voicemail. As well as I had bought the yelp promo but haven't been able to even locate the gym. When I went to the direction listed it was another gym that doesn't offer CrossFit classes at all. Now I spent 80 dollars on a gym that might not even exist, and if it does, please update your information read more

I absolutely love my gym. I love the people that go there. I love my trainer. I love the space. I haven't been apart of a community in the gym setting before. It makes such a difference to want to go to workout, be social, and hang out with your friends. Don't get the wrong idea, it's not all conversations and play time. Alena is one tough trainer. It's so motivating to have her workout with you side by side. Crossfit is so intimidating to start, but this gym will make sure that you acclimate to the lifestyle. They are so good about teaching proper form and never pushing yourself beyond what you can do. But when you are capable, they WILL push you to make sure you are doing your very best. read more

I'm from the bay area, but visited battle born when my friends and I went up to Reno. They went snowboarding and I decided to go do a WOD instead. I emailed the owner, Alena, beforehand and she said it would be okay if I dropped in. This was my first time visiting a box outside of my own and it was a great experience. For new comers or visitors, battle born shares the same building with a jiu jitsu gym so if you see that door first, go around the building to get to the crossfit side. I was a little nervous at first because the weather was freezing!. It was 7 degrees out the day I was there. They have a good space. There were about 11-12 of us doing the workout and there was plenty of space. I didn't get a chance to use any of their barbells or racks as we went with a chipper that incorporated other equipment and your own body weight. Although I did get to use a slegehammer to hit tires which was cool. Alena went through all the movements needed for the workout and even went 1:1 with one of the members who was having a hard time with a movement. Great facility and a welcoming group. read more

I have been going to BattleBorn since May 2012 and there's no reason to stop now. As a former college athlete, I was really drawn to the Crossfit program, but Alena's programming and the accepting atmosphere of the "box" kept me coming. People of all backgrounds, ages, and athletic abilities workout at BattleBorn so fear not if you are inexperienced or aren't familiar with CrossFit. BattleBorn is all about achieving your individual goals whether that's gaining muscle, losing a few pounds or competing in a local CrossFit competition. You may have a certain impression of CrossFit, but if you like a team atmosphere, want to get stronger or just want to try something different, you should give BattleBorn a try! Hope to see you here! read more

Love this place, the programming is awesome and people are fun. It is never stuffy or elitist and you never feel like you don't belong. It is the first crossfit affiliated in Reno and the least expensive when compare to the other crossfit gyms. Whether it is preparing for the military (Coach Alena has gotten several people in shape to go into the military and some special forces) or just to keep your fitness up look no further than BBCF. read more

My wife and I discovered CrossFit in February when she bought two "Living Social" promotions to try it out for 2 months. I was not terribly enthusiastic about it at first but after a few days, I quickly fell in love with the short-duration, high-intensity workouts. I've lifted weights interspersed with various forms of seemingly endless cardio on treadmills, stairmasters, spinning bikes and the like for too many years to count and the monotony of all that was brought into much sharper light when compared with the constantly-varied, functional movements in a group setting found in CrossFit workouts. Alena and her team of instructors at Battle Born are awesome. While they make very sure that exercises are being done properly and safely, they are not in your face about correcting technique. And, importantly, they are all very happy to work one on one with anyone who asks for a little more guidance on specific exercises. Travis is working hard with me (including using a pretty cool video coaching app he has on his phone) to get my deadlift sorted out, which is a priority for me after having blown my back out a couple of times in the past before finding CrossFit. We've just introduced our 13-year old son to CrossFit at Battle Born. Coaching was a priority for us in his case, not only to make sure he was doing the exercises safely, but also to make sure that he felt good about it and enjoyed the work outs. The coaching he is getting, in particular from Tegg, is outstanding. Finally, the mobility classes that Chandler offers are a needed adjunct to the workouts and a differentiator at Battle Born. I'm on the fence about what hurts more - CrossFit workouts or Chandler's mobility classes... :). But after suffering lots of nagging injuries in the past, I really appreciate the mobility classes. Since starting at Battle Born, my wife and I have visited many of the local CrossFit gyms to get a sense of what's out there, and while I'm definitely biased by the time I've spent with the team at Battle Born, the size of the box, the variety and quantity of equipment, the class schedules and the general atmosphere and camaraderie that is so critical to get into the right mind set for a solid workout makes Battle Born a great fit for us. read more

This place had the best atmosphere, everyone is so helpful and encouraging, not to mention very attentive. Also, it's always clean! Best place to go in Reno, don't miss out! read more

I worked out at this gym for a couple of months before taking some time off. Since getting back into crossfit and trying out some different gyms I can easily say this one was one of the best gyms I have been to. The programming is great and challenging. You get a great workout as your time is not wasted here. Class always started on time and was run very efficiently with coaches lending help with pointers as necessary. read more

I was in Reno for a work conference so naturally I skipped the mandatory dinner/powerpoint ;) for a drop in at BattleBorn. I felt welcomed from the moment I walked through the door. The members were great. Everyone introduced themselves right away and I felt like I had been part of their community for months. The coaches were really engaged, friendly and knowledgeable. I loved the team WOD and enjoyed the pace of the class. The equipment was clean and in good shape. So if your visiting Reno and need a drop in this is your place. If you live in Reno why aren't you a member yet? read more

Great gym with great people. Derek and Alena work with you to help you reach your goals. I really like all of the people I workout with at the gym too. It's definitely the quickest hour of my day. read more

Awesome staff. Dedicated and knowledgeable. Sensitive to real limitations. Encouraging vs pushy. Friendly enough and very accommodating.

Great gym. Awesome coaches and very nice people. The only thing I can warn anyone about is that it gets addicting!

I was in town for a week and the workouts were awesome. Alena was welcoming when I first contacted her was very inviting and Travis the coach at the morning session was great. The other crossfitters were extremely welcoming and motivational. The next time I'm in Reno, I plan crossfitting at Battle Born. read more

I love this place! My friend got me to do the first week free, and I managed to get 4 classes in the first week. I love that it is just enough distance to have a personal workout, and enough instruction to make sure I am not going to get hurt, and that I am working the right muscles, and have the right form. It is tough, it is crossfit, and right when I get to the moment where I think I'm going to die, the exercise stops and we move onto another body part or exercise. it pushes you right to the limit and then backs off. Everyone is very relaxed, and it is an instructional class format. It is intimidating to walk into the gym, but half way into the class, you quickly realize everyone is into their own workout, nobody but the trainers are watching what you do. I Highly recommend Battle Born, for the long timers, because they will find a way to challenge you, and to the new comers, because they will welcome you and turn you into a crossfiter. Where else are you going to git a great workout and a personal trainer at such a great quality and price?! read more
