When I came to First Coast, I had been doing CrossFit for almost 3 years and been a member of three…read moreother boxes (CrossFit gyms). Four years on, my daily workouts out at First Coast would be the daily highlight of my workweek routine. I recently moved abroad so I am no longer a member, and unfortunately for me, I think it will be hard to find a gym that I will hold in such high esteem again. You do not need to know how to do any CrossFit movement to get started here, just a curiosity and willingness to give it a try. The coaches and people here will welcome you in. I'm grateful for how my fitness progressed at First Coast, but also, possibly more so, how I felt like I was part of a community of like-minded and caring people in Jacksonville.

I got my 9 month Anniversary from North Jax Fitness . I cannot believe it has been 9 months since I…read morestarted this journey and have STUCK WITH IT!!! In the past I have always given up or gotten injured, but this gym is different in so many ways! The coach's are phenomenal, and the members are so inspiring and motivating- It is definitely a #fitfam. I am not where I want to be, but I have come so far in 9 months that I have to step back and be proud of myself. I couldn't do a traditional push up - now I can. I couldn't deadlift more then 100 #'s and now I can lift 175#'s. I couldn't sit in a squat at all - and now I can hold it for 30 seconds I couldn't do a pull up - and now I can get my chin over the bar - Those of just some of the things that I notice -- So much progress in 9 months puts a smile on face It was not always easy and there have been many days I did not want to get up and get dressed, but I choose me this year and surprising I have continued to choose me. I have many reason why I could stop, but I have learned that I need to stop making those excuses- If you have ever thought of joining a Cross Fit gym - I HIGHLY Recommend North Jax Fitness.

The gym itself is pretty nice…read more *Not a lot of rowers so our group was split into two separate heats which is fine, but our workout ended on the rower (If you made it back to the beginning of the AMRAP) so I ran into problems when I went to go back to the rower for more Cals but there wasn't one available, had to watch the clock run out of time with no rower. **I travel a lot for work and drop in to gyms all across the country, this gyms drop in fee is a little higher then most. Not only is it higher then most but you also have to pay separate for a shirt (No shirt/drop in fee combination here). So I spent I believe $45 for a shirt and the drop in...Ridiculous. ***I am in the military and asked for a military discount. The owner laughed in my face and said he didn't do a military discount because he was in the military too. You would think that he would be more inclined to give a military discount since he is in the military himself. Not the case. ****His wife though, was very kind and tried to be as accommodating as possible but was limited due to his constraints. *****The workout was straight off the Crossfit Website. UPADTE: As you can see below the owner and head trainer had a rebuttal for literally every observation, comment and opinion I had of this gym. A clear "I'm right you're wrong mentality" My review stands and I believe this demonstrates the exact character, mentality and attitude I (semi) experienced while there from him; NOT the members or the community (they were great). Good luck on the business.

I'm in town from San Diego and dropped in to Crossfit Total Control. I'm relatively new to CF (3…read moremonths in), and dropping in to an unfamiliar box makes me a little apprehensive. I guess it's normal, but there was NO reason for concern! I emailed CF Total Control on Sunday, and Russell (owner/coach) replied to me right away to let me know they'd love to have me. I showed up early for a 7AM Tuesday class, signed the waiver and jumped right in. Crossfit Total Control is an excellent facility - plenty of room and equipment, clean and everything was in good condition. Tom, the coach, and all of the athletes welcomed me. We did a good warm up, followed by stretching and then 2 short WODs. Tom gave great instructions and recommended scaling if necessary. The hour went by fast, and I got a great workout. I plan to drop in again before I return to California. Drop in fee was $15 or purchase a shirt for $25. I purchased 2 shirts! I had a great time getting my butt kicked this morning! If I lived here I'm pretty certain this would be my home box!

Introducing you to new people? Helping you gain some perspective on life? Justifying the consumption of mass quantities of bacon? The answer is yes. Nick and the other coaches are knowledgeable and, what's more, really good folks. They set the tone for the people in the gym and it works -- everyone there is good peeps and all are genuinely interested in seeing the others succeed. Corssfit is intimidating enough without having to deal with a bunch of meatheads or jerkoffs and you'll find neither here. It's a diverse group, but it works in a really positive way. Is Crossfit a cult? Maybe, but who cares. I'm in the best shape of my life and, after a year, I'm still excited to haul myself out of bed at 5:30 in the morning and see what the workout holds for me. Come join us -- I promise you will look better naked if you do.

It just happens that this gym is walking distance from my house because any further and I know that I just wouldn't go. So... CrossFit it is! :) I still drive there... I decided to join the 6-week challenge and (as I write this review), I think it was the best decision I have made for myself in a long, long time. It's not so scary. The program is fantastic as long as you don't fight the Universe and follow your nutrition plan AND do the workouts. It's pretty darn simple: Do what you're supposed to do and have a good attitude. Trust the process... The best things about this gym are the members, coaches and classes. I can definitely say that this has been the most supportive environment I have ever experienced when it comes to going to the gym. Everyone is genuinely supportive and welcoming from day one. Of course it's because they know the hell you're going through while doing the WODs [Workout Of The Day] and struggling through the skills they teach here as a newbie or someone who hasn't worked out consistently (like me) in a good damn while. Perhaps misery loves company? Perhaps, but I think we all enjoy the endorphins...afterwards. I have never seen any judgement here and there are all kinds of people with many shapes, sizes and physical backgrounds that come to this box that will cheer you on to finish that last rep. Really pretty cool and motivating. In addition, they offer plenty of class times and a full gym area complete with machines, weights and all sorts of fun toys to get your butt back into shape. It does get better... Overall, if you're on the fence about joining this CrossFit gym - I would recommend trying the 6-Week Challenge whenever they offer it to see what it's all about and commit to that. I know I had to read reviews on Yelp for over a year to finally decide on coming to this location. Hey. That might be you. Who knows? But I can tell you that I love the coaches who teach at this location and that can make all of the difference in the world. Good humans. Check 'em out!

Any of you that might follow me for reviews would know that I don't review places that aren't…read morerestaurants or cafes. It just isn't my shtick. However, that Amy has made a gym is such an excellent caliber that I'm breaking my rule. This is literally the first review I have ever written on google for none food or coffee related establishment. I've been to several great gyms in my "fitness journey" but there really is something extraordinary about what Amy has put together here. First off, Amy is ridiculously exceptional and the technical pieces of Crossfit. The level that she can break a movement down, and coach a person through it is top-tier. She, and all of the coaches, also do a remarkable job of making sure everyone gets attention. One of the ways she does this is by limiting class sizes to a manageable number of members. You will NEVER make it through a class without a coach coming by to evaluate your form and give you pointers on how you can improve. It's really this level of personal attention and attention to excellence that sets Salt de Terre apart from other gyms. On top of the day-to-day WODs, Amy also puts a lot of effort into hosting clinics for specific movements and areas of the body. I've been to a Jump-Rope-Clinic and a few mobility clinics, and I honestly don't really get the chance to go to many. Amy, again, takes it to the next level though. After any clinic you can expect to see pieces of the clinic incorporated into the warm ups of the next classes. She doesn't just present the information to her members, she incorporates it into her style, into the coaching mentality of the gym. And all this was before COVID. To say I've been blown away my Salt de Terre's response to this would be an understatement. First Amy reduced class sized and had people disinfecting stuff. Then when the gym had to close, she didn't miss a beat. She loaned out gym equipment to the members and were almost immediately hosting online Zoom workouts multiple times a day. Then she added yoga classes (hosted by some of the gym members that teach yoga), and then a mental health clinic, and then weekend get together events (baking, make-up, murder mystery, etc). While I can't imaged the effort this took, you would think she had already prepared for it. That's how seamless it felt. I honestly can't recommend Salt de Terre, Amy, and the staff there enough. If you like Crossfit style workouts (no AC, lots of movement, and no treadmills) that you will absolutely love Salt de Terre. And as much as I hope you don't steal my gym spot, I really do hope you check it out. Let's be real, there are thousands of gyms in the city and most of them have the same equipment. You don't go to a gym because of the equipment, you go because of the coaching (at least you should). And Amy is one of the best coaches I have ever had, and she's one of the best coaches you can ever have too.

Salt de Terre is like no other gym I've ever experienced. The focus and attention Amy and her…read morecoaches give to each and every member always makes me feel both motivated to work harder, as well as confident that they are watching out for my safety. I did not join CrossFit as a natural athlete, but have been welcomed into the Salt de Terre community with open arms just the same.
