I've been working out here at Brethren for about 4 months now. I now feel confident to say this is my home away from home. The Coaching staff is AWESOME! Each and every coach is there pushing for you to be better every day. Same for all the members. I couldn't see myself working out anywhere else in the area. The gym is big and clean! There is plenty of equipment and space to accommodate large classes and still have room for some open gym time! There are even showers in the bathrooms, just in case you want to go before work. This is one of the nicest boxes I have come across. This is a great gym for beginners and experienced CrossFit enthusiasts alike. I have improved in every single skill associated with CrossFit since joining Brethren. I can tell you it is due to Lee and Daniels constant encouragement and coaching. I know this gym will help me reach my goals and the coaching staff is there to help. I find myself challenged every single time I walk through the door. read more

I love this place. It's such a wonderful environment, the coaches are knowledgeable and emphasize proper form always making sure everyone is doing movements correctly, scaling as needed based on limitations, and getting the most that you can out of every workout. It's a great place to be (does not apply to the assault bike, haha). I love this CrossFit community, if you want a prime example of that then you need to come and check out Brethren. read more

I've been working out in the ladies morning bootcamp for the last few years and it is the only exercise effort that I've been consistent with. I can feel my balance, strength and cardio ability becoming stronger. I have a knee issue which they provide appropriate exercises for and when appropriate swap out with different exercises. Don't be intimidated by Crossfit, it isn't just a bunch of burly dudes and trim/fit gals moving tractor tires around. : ) There is a mixed bag of people that work out here and I (non-sports, previous non-workout type) feel very comfortable. Very glad I canceled my rarely used gym membership and starting regularly going here instead. read more

I've been working out here for 8 months now and it's been a great experience. The workouts are challenging and the atmosphere is positive. All of the trainers are friendly and focused on making sure your pushing yourself in a safe way. If you are looking for a community to help you achieve your health goals I would recommend this place! Thank you Kim and Lee and all the other people for your patience and encouragement. read more

Such a great place to get fit. Love all the coaches. There are so are so many classes offered and even have kids and teens classes. This place is a lot of fun. And if you want to give it a try, they offer buddy week every first week of the month and it all free all week. Can't beat that. read more

Brethren CrossFit - Interval Training Gyms Near Me - Morgan Hill, California

See all

This Crossfit gym is so amazing I honestly don't know where to begin with this review. I was there for a week because I was in town for a conference. 1. Lee Pappas is the owner and while I did not take a class with him (he taught later in the day), he was there every day training individuals, and generally overseeing the gym. He asked several times how I was doing, whether I needed help, and was there anything else that the gym could be doing to support my workouts. 2. I travel frequently and am always trying out new boxes. The members of the gym are the nicest group of people I've worked out with, except for my own gym of course. Every day that I came in, people greeted me, introduce themselves, wanted to know where I was from, and mostly just welcomed me to their box. 3. Lisa was my trainer for most of the WODs that I did. She was attentive, thoughtful, extremely knowledgeable about form and over all just very supportive. And fun! Danny (?) was my other trainer for one WOD and he was so helpful that he even stayed late after it to help me work on my box jumps. 4. The gym itself is absolutely gorgeous. It's enormous, has multiple pieces of equipment for every kind of station, it even has a station for practicing rope climbs that's about eight feet off the floor. It's incredibly well-maintained and clearly a source of pride for the members and staff. 5. This may sound silly but the women's bathroom is really really nice. Usually when I go to CrossFit gyms as a guest, I'm afraid even look in the bathrooms. This one is lovely, very clean, and even has a complement box! If you have the opportunity to visit Brethren, do not pass it up and if you live in the area and aren't already a member, there's a problem. read more

I have been coming here for about 3 years now. If you have any medical issues anything can be modified, tailored to you. The trainers will help you out any way they can. If you have any issues with nutrition, they will help you out on what to eat, what not to eat, portions etc. When some people think Crossfit they think it is way too intense, but there are many levels of intensity, whatever you are comfortable with. They also teach you proper technique so you wont get hurt. Crossfit is like a community, that you join together with others and just try your best and always good to push yourself a little harder each time to build up muscle and motivate y read more

I have been working out my whole life and nothing has worked as well as Crossfit. It isn't easy but with a trainer like Lee Pappas, Brethren Crossfit has helped me stay focused and enjoy myself. The gym location is ideal just off 101 (and close to shopping & coffee) and the choice of classes is plenty. He even has an outdoor Saturday morning class in South San Jose for those of us who live a little north of Morgan Hill. It is great for the family, my teenage kids are also attending classes. I can't say enough good things about this program... you gotta give it a shot! I am updating this review because it has been 2 years since I wrote it... Brethren Crossfit is still THE place to workout. The friendships and support I have gotten there is just incredible. Please check it out for yourself! read more

Attended a class yesterday. Lee is an excellent trainer. Cleanest crossfit gym I have ever been in. I highly recommend!

If you want power, speed, agility but cannot afford a Ferrari....then get it out of your own body, through Brethren Crossfit.

This has been a great experience for me the past two weeks. I have been lifting for over 5 years now, but doing cross fit does something for the body, mind, and spirit. The trainers are all about helping you learn and reach your own goals. The regulars are all about helping you and encouraging you. I'll definitely recommend this to anyone who wants to change things up and push themselves! read more

Before I decided to join Brethern CrossFit, I went to three other CrossFit gyms in the south bay. I did workouts at each. There is even a fully equipped CrossFit box at my job. I prefer to pay Brethern then work out for free at my work. Why?........The trainers at Brethern, the workouts, the instruction, and the other members at Brethern are top notch. There are no egos here. Just a bunch of folks trying to improve their health and fitness while encouraging others at the same time. I have not been doing CrossFit for very long but I am already reaping the benefits. My wife has never been the most motivated person to workout on her own. After her free week at Brethern, guess who wanted to sign up? You got it, she's now hooked! I can't thank Lee, Matt, and Nick enough for the great atmosphere they provide, personal instruction, attention to detail, and overall great programming. They have made me want to be a better athlete and I strive to get better each day I train at Brethern. After you are done reading this post, go sign up. You have nothing to lose and everything to gain. Mike N. read more

There is no better place to go!! Lee and the rest of the trainers are amazing. I have been going here for about a year now and have enjoyed every minute of my experience. Place is always clean and organized and I can't think of another place to go for friends, fitness, and family. read more

Every year I update my review of Brethren Crossfit. This year I can tell you that this is my 4th consecutive year of being a member at Brethren Crossfit. Before Crossfit I always wasted money on memberships at health clubs because I get bored after the first 3 months. Not at Brethren, they've managed to keep my interest and enthusiasm for staying fit at a very high level. If you have the money to invest in yourself this would be a good investment. read more

I belong to another CrossFit and dropped in while I was in town at Brethren CrossFit. It is one of the nicest CrossFit gyms I have ever had the privilege of working out in. The facility is beautiful and clean, which is hard to find a lot of places. I was pleasantly surprised with how spacious the place was and the amount of equipment present. I cannot say enough about the trainer, Lee Pappas, and the CrossFit members. They are some of the nicest people I have had the opportunity to train with. I automatically felt like I had been training there for years. They embraced me as a new member and I fit right in. If you are questioning whether or not to try out CrossFit or Brethren in general; this is the place to be. It is amazing and you will have to try it to see for yourself!! read more

I'm about 3 months in at Brethren and I already feel like part of the family. The love and support these people give each other is amazing. Athletes work on themselves and also help each other learn and get better. If you want a no nonsense, work your buns off workout day in and day out, this place is great. Lee is the master! Matt, Nicole, Roxy & Kassi are great as well. Box is always clean and full of top-notch equipment. Don't let the idea of crossfit deter you from Brethren or any other crossfit box. Any and all workouts can be scaled and no one gives you a second look for scaling it back. Everyone is just glad you are there to work hard and sweat! Love this place. Recommend it highly! read more

Brethren has been and always will be like a second home to me. The environment is always welcoming and everyone seems like family. I was scared to try crossfit even though most my family had been doing it at Brethren for a while. The trainers are the best and work hard to show you how to do the lifts correctly. In crossfit, it is extremely important that the trainer focuses on everyone's form because if you do it wrong, you can get hurt. Brethren is definitely my favorite place to work out. I love going every day to see the same people I work out with and always miss it when I'm away at school. I went to another crossfit in Tucson for a few months but nothing will compare to the training and comfort you get at Brethren. read more

I walked into brethren crossfit one day, not knowing what to expect. As I walked in I was greeted by the very handsome Lee papas. He was very friendly, courteous, and knowledgeable about everything crossfit. He then proceeded to introduce me to the rest of the gym members. Who have now become more than friends, they're my family. He then instructed the class and I through the workout of the day (WOD) and I have to say. I was very impressed, but I'll cut this short. I have now been a member here for 2 years and I love every minute of it. I just wish I found this place sooner. If you're looking to make some results- whether you're a beginner or a seasoned athlete. Brethren crossfit is the place to come. Lee is by far one of the greatest coaches I've ever had. Just find out for yourself- you will not be dissapointed. read more

This place is awesome! I gave it a shot because everyone i know who goes there, loves it. Now i know why - Professional trainers, very supportive environment and great equipment...i was very skeptical at first but after losing 12lbs and dropping a size in 3 weeks, I love training here! The nice thing about training at Brethren is that you can be of any age, shape or form and they will scale the workout for you. The place now has showers which are very clean and well maintained. The trainers will also play whatever music you like and they have a lot to offer... read more

If you are looking for something more than just a gym but a place that will motivate you, look no further Brethren Crossfit and its family is world class. Lee is a great leader and outstanding owner that knows his business. Matt and Nick are two of the best personal trainer's/ coach's I've ever met. This gym is more than just a gym its a family that welcomes anyone and everyone! Please check them out and I promise you won't regret it! read more
