This gym is the standard by which I measure all Crossfit gyms. I have travelled all around the US…read moreand overseas and this is by far the gym that has the most integration of functional fitness, health, and community that I have ever found. I have since moved out of state and I have tried three different boxes in my town and none of them have held a candle to this place. Great equipment, HUGE facility and trainers who I would count as some of my closest friends. In regard to the previous reviews, let me address some of their gripes... For "Christine J," I don't know who she met when she came to the gym but Jordon is definitely neither narcissistic nor an a-hole (sorry, I like to keep my language cleaner than hers). He has a lot of people clamoring for his advice and attention at every workout because he is REALLY good at what he does. If she didn't think he had enough time to pay attention to her, perhaps the narcissistic shoe is on the other foot? As to what Kristen had to say, yes, I belonged to the gym. Yes, I wore Lululemon shorts (not pants because it's hot as heck in the Florida panhandle by Memorial Day... were you really there then because I don't see ANYONE wearing pants there in May, Lulu or otherwise... No one makes pants to wick away 90F with 100% humidity! Lol..) I don't think that anyone there thinks the gym is a beauty contest... maybe the gym you usually attend just has less fit people who are therefore not as attractive? I really don't know, but my friends at this gym are still some of my closest friends overall (even after moving across the country) and I met them because they were super nice & friendly. Jesse, the owners wife, truthfully is gorgeous but she is also the NICEST woman you will ever meet... she is a friend to everyone and I don't think I have ever heard a crabby word come out of her mouth! I have been to dozens of other Crossfit gyms and NEVER has anyone but the owner come up and introduced themselves to me. Not.One.Time. Here, the WODs are done in two rounds so you are forced to partner up and thus gain an instant cheerleader and spotter for your workout. That's how I met people, just acted like myself and made friends there, and people were always coming up to ask how long I had been crossfitting, where I was from, etc. I can see how if you walked into the gym acting like you were hot sh** and really standoffish that folks wouldn't say hello... I mean the other members are there to workout, not to make you feel good about your personality problems. But, like any group of people, if you are nice and friendly they will respond in kind. :) I have never been to a 4 minute workout at any Crossfit gym ever... the time you should be at the gym is an hour, almost to the minute at this place. You come in, warm up, do some dynamic or strength work, do the WOD, cool down/stretch out and then... maybe if there is time left in the hour, you can do some skill work before the hour is over. The actual WOD may have been 4 minutes but hey, that's called FRAN. If you don't like short, high intensity workouts, don't do Crossfit. If she thought that the WOD was the only important part of the workout, she's going to get injured in the near future and probably badly because she thinks that warm-ups, practicing movements, Olympic lifting and post-workout stretching/rolling out of muscles is "a waste of time." She my comment below about "nutrition professionals" but I have a feeling she should do some research... any research... about what makes a fit body and most of that healthy body is built in the kitchen and in yoga class (stretching). And who gets off talking about someone else's kids? Who are Really, the worst you could day about the gym is that someone under two didn't behave properly? Sounds like someone doesn't have kids and therefore knows "just how to parent..." I currently have two children under age three and I can tell you that child was/is in no way "dangerous"... call me when you have a baby, sweetheart, and then we will chat. Finally, I hate to sound snarky but I truly don't believe "nutrition" is a reputable degree... Jordon has some pretty extensive background through his military training and beyond and I feel like "nutrition professionals" are a dime a dozen and always pushing some gross, chemical-filled, chalky diet shakes on you for the pyramid scheme company that they work for. Anyway, my personal reflections on these two reviews aside, Christine said it best when she said, "my final rant about this place." Yes, that's what they are... illogical rants. If you want a good gym, a great workout and an atmosphere that challenges you to push yourself, join this gym. I haven't seen their price list lately but I truly believe you get what you pay for... if you care about your health; buy local, buy organic and for goodness sakes, buy a membership to CFFWB!

Eventually another gym member opened the door for me. I went over to the trainer and asked about getting a membership. He seemed annoyed but walked to the desk to start the process. I tried making small talk and mentioned I was checking out different gyms in the area but there weren't many options. He said, "There are plenty of options, just maybe not what you're looking for." I told him I'm a powerlifter and just need a place where I can squat, bench, and deadlift. He looked up from the computer and said, "Your kind aren't welcome here." I asked what he meant, and he said powerlifters are loud, disrespectful, and bang weights. He told me if I wanted to lift like that I should go to Silverback or Fortis instead. Then he asked, "Are you going to buy a membership or not?" I said I wanted to quickly look up Fortis and see if it was any good. He responded, "I don't have time for you," and stormed off. So I left and didn't buy a membership. It's pretty disappointing to be judged like that. Treating people like that when they're just trying to sign up for a gym isn't right. You shouldn't judge a whole group of people just because you had one bad experience in the past. I ended up going to Fortis Fitness and had a great experience there. If your in the area and want a great gym, go to Fortis Fitness.

The community here is incredibly welcoming, and the programming is always challenging but scalable for any fitness level. Coach Robb Haak is the real deal. He's knowledgeable, encouraging, and really takes the time to make sure everyone is moving safely and getting better every day. Robb has a way of pushing you to do more than you thought you could, without ever making it feel intimidating. He truly cares about each member, and it shows in how he coaches and interacts with everyone in the gym. The owners have also done an amazing job keeping the gym in great shape. Over the years, they've made noticeable improvements--upgrading equipment, keeping things clean, and making sure the space is inviting and functional. You can tell they're invested in creating a great environment for members to train in and the community. Whether you're brand new to CrossFit or have been training for years, this gym has something to offer. I'm stronger, more confident, and in better shape than I was when I walked through the doors three years ago--thanks to Robb and the MBSC family. Highly recommend!

Once my month was up I was hooked. Along with setting some personal nutrition goals I have lost 28 lbs and gained muscle. My hubby has lost 30 and gained muscle. We both feel so great. We can do everyday tasks with ease that used to make us winded. It has changed our life and we plan to continue to use this gym for years to come. Our favorite part is that we go three times per week for about an hour and we get stretching, strength training that is mixed with cardio (pretty legit) and there are usually at most 5 people in our group. For the most part there are usually around 3 or 4 including us. The trainers that we have worked with are motivating and push us but while we are working hard we are usually laughing our butts off (literally). It makes the workout go by so fast and makes us want to come back. Cindy at the front desk is always smiling and ready to greet you when you walk in. The owners are great and hard working. They are ALWAYS on site. That is usually the key to a great local business. They have just expanded the gym to make room for a great area for the group training classes. The entire staff is always smiling and saying hi and having a positive upbeat attitude. That helps a lot on days you don't feel like being there yourself. We always leave in a better mood. We have had to travel before and there was no problem putting our membership on hold. They just need to know in advance your dates and they are very accommodating. I highly recommend this place. It is more than just a gym for us. It has helped us develop a lifestyle we hope to continue for the rest of our lives. When I became a Chef about 6years ago I put on a lot of weight. I am getting my active lifestyle and energy back and loving it.
