Been going to CrossFit WV for about a year and absolutely love their approach to fitness. Typical…read moreof CrossFit gyms (or boxes in their lingo), the coach led workouts feature a great variety of Olympic type lifts (dead lifts, clean & jerks, squats...), body weight movements (pull ups, push ups, ring dips...) and locomotion (running, box jumps, rowing...). A usual work out consists of 5 - 10 minutes of warm up, a review of techniques to be used, then a high intensity workout lasting between 10 and 20 minutes. Several coaches are on hand to offer assistance with technique and encouragement. The primary coaches (Caroline & Drew) do a great job of teaching the fundamentals to get the most out of the exercises and, most importantly, keep safe. There are numerous other trained coaches who help out during peak times. There's good diversity in the membership's ages and abilities, but surprisingly little "attitude". You can push yourself as much as you want. You can have friendly competition with others or just work on personal bests. The box is definitely not a glossy, chromed & mirrored gym, but for those looking to get in shape for sports or just general life, it hard for me to imagine a better option.

Think of everything you live about a dive bar.

Now imagine that same feeling but with chalk powder, pull up bars, and the smell of sweat filling the air. If you're not excited, you should be. Seriously, I love the environment. Equally amazing are the warm welcomes and support of everyone in the building. There's a sense of community here that is lost in most places anymore *cough* LA Fitness *cough* Anyway, I could go on for a while. I've just had a great experience here and would love to see others helping keep this place going. New and experienced alike will find something to learn, or contribute by giving the Crossfit Coal family a shot.
