CrossFit Burlingame is always on my list when visiting family! They have fun workouts and an amazing community making visitors feel right at home. They stick to the methodology and the trainers are very well versed and knowledgeable and willing to coach. Thanks guys!! read more

CrossFit Burlingame is a great gym! I've been a member here for some time and have dropped in at boxes all over the country. They subscribe to Mayhem programming which is really awesome and focused. The coaches are all very welcoming and helpful. The gym is large, clean, has tons of equipment, and a good chunk of open gym hours as well. I also enjoy the community of folks and now have a "tribe" at my regular class times which makes going to the gym alot more fun. If you are looking for group fitness in the area that will be both challenging and fun with a great community, you should definitely check out CFBG! read more

I quit CrossFit for year because of this gym. Really expensive, not very dynamic workouts, coaches didn't really care (churn and burn) and the bro vibe was terrible. CrossFit should be a community that cares about the nutrition, well being AND fitness of it's members. read more

Totally recommend. James was my first contact providing an excellent customer service. Place is very nice, fully equipped and also a great environment for beginners. read more

I've attended 2 other CrossFit boxes in other states and this one has been my favorite so far! Even though I use much lighter weights than everyone else and usually do the scaled exercises, the coaches are attentive to my progress and my peers are supportive. CrossFit Burlingame has a very tight-knit community but I like to do my own thing and they are very respectful of that also. I don't feel pressured to join the events and feel equally valued as a non-social member so it's a very comfortable atmosphere. Both the coaching staff and the members reflect the diversity of the area and I feel like I fit in. In terms of the pandemic, I appreciate that they have set up an outdoor exercise area in the parking lot with safety measures like temperature checks and mandatory hand-washing and equipment-wiping. They changed the online class signup system to limit class sizes and also allow for mobile self-check-in to further protect each person and minimize risk. I feel very lucky that I have an outdoor exercise option during the pandemic! read more

I have been apart of CFBG for a year now. Unfortunately a majority of it has been during the pandemic. Pre COVID-19, as a first time crossfitter I felt very welcomed into the box. Other members made me feel comfortable and I never felt out of place as I had at other "gyms". The coaches are amazing! Always willing to help with form, offer options and help push yourself to be better. After the shutdown and CFBG was able to reopen, I felt very comfortable returning. They take your temperature upon arrival and have you wash your hands before entering to get your equipment for the workout. Masks are required as well. It is nice to have someplace to go to that makes me feel safe during this time where I am able to take care of myself, mentally and physically. James, Andrew and all the CFBG coaches are the greatest and the workouts are killer! read more

I've been doing CrossFit since 2011. I've been part of many CrossFit gyms as a coach and member over the years. I believe in the methodology and have seen it work over and over again to help members reach their goals. CFBG is among the best gyms where I've been a member. I don't coach here so can review things objectively as a paying customer. The coaches are outstanding. They all understand the program and teach it well. The quality that can't be taught is caring. They all have it. Coaches Seig and Andrew tend to be coaching the most when I'm in class with my 15 year old son. They are experienced enough to coach both of us well. I leave class every day with better insight into my performance. Coaches Momo Don and Luke are young, passionate and also outstanding coaches. They harness a strong sense of community effortlessly because being leaders is who they are. The owner James is accessible and reasonable. He's at the gym regularly and clearly cares deeply about his members. If you want to become a better human, this is the place to do it. Drawbacks: Street parking can be slightly annoying. I can always find a spot, but it may take a few minutes. This gym doesn't post athlete's scores on the whiteboard. Some people hate their performance being on the board. I like it. We're all here to improve and be honest about where we are. Seeing how you perform with everyone else can help you measure your success. Some of the barbells don't spin well. UPDATE: since posting this review and saying some barbells don't spin well, new barbells are showing up at the gym! Looks like management already knew about it and are addressing. I have never seen a business go so above and beyond! Where is a 6th star? read more

This has been my home away from home for more than 6 years, and I've been bringing my young kids with me on the weekends and holidays for the past few years When Covid took it away from me, I was devastated. And my kids still talk about how much they miss "The Box" But I have to give it to the CFBG team and the community, because they have kept it together in a remarkable way. Now that things are somewhat open again, I pop in as much as I can for a quick (outdoor) workout and to see my favorite coaches. I almost cried the first time back The outdoor gym they've assembled is pretty incredible, and I kind of hope they keep that going once this has all passed, since a bit of vitamin D during a workout is nice! read more

The worst CF box I have been to in the six years I practiced CrossFit. Classes are incredibly disorganized, programming is all over the places and most of the coaches I've taken classes with were poor instructors. I was so disappointed because we just moved to the area and needed a new home but even with limited options I won't be returning here. Would advise others to look elsewhere as well. read more

Crossfit Burlingame has been my gym for 7 years. The coaches and athletes I have met through cfbg has changed my entire world, it's not just the strong coaching and training but the relationships and community that is built through working out together is like nothing else. Through the pandemic I have watched the coaches adapt and make training here just as amazing as ever. I feel safe and confident they are doing everything they can to make a safe environment for us to continue to have the outlet of working out during stressful times and continue to have the support from others there. We are all in this together, just on our own gym mats 6 feet apart. I love Crossfit Burlingame! read more

The free session was great! I liked that! It was welcoming and loved the support. The coach was supportive! But....... I am still waiting for my 4 1:1 session that I paid for Upfront. The month Is almost up, requested 1:1 sessions with availability times multiple times and haven't received a response yet. Waited...waited...then received an email stating we haven't seen you lately...is everything ok? im...still waiting for a response for a 1:1 session. If this continues, I requested a refund for the poor service and plan to take my fitness goals elsewhere. Thanks for the motivation and allowing me to give my hard earned money to a place that really gives their customers their money's worth. sincerely, "Newbie" read more

For all the folks who are surrounded by myths like 'Crossfit is really nasty' or 'I need to get fit to even start CrossFit' or 'Crossfit is for the crazy'- Please keep reading! Life took a toll and I lost control over my regime, health and food intake resulting in excess pounds and a dull lifestyle. I lost hope that I will get into a better shape again and I accepted my ~250 lbs self to be 'me' forever. It was around Christmas of 2016 that I decided to give CrossFit another try as I have had results 5 years ago and I thought may be I could lose a few lbs and feel better. Coming to Crossfit Burlingame and becoming a part of CFBG Family (Yes, that's what we call it :)) exceeded every expectation that I could ever have. The coaches here are wonderful and most importantly approachable. I have always received good advice and positive reinforcement that keeps me going and aiming higher. I remember the time when doing a pull up was a dream and now I live it every day. Thank you coaches- Drew, Frank, Graeme, James, Jess, Rebecca, Sean and every athlete that directly or indirectly motivated me and Christina for the nutritional guidance (Oh yes!! that girl is a magician & soon you'll see transformations resulting from her knowledge and advice on food intake) I see people from every walks of life being a happy part of this family that includes experienced athletes, rookies, seniors and even kids and furry friends(!). The environment here promotes acceptance and support which is key to feel included and benefit from the community. The coaches here are well versed in scaling workouts and movements based on your capacity and don't get me wrong, they'll push you to be better than you were last time around. Ok, a picture is worth a thousand words! - Mudit (currently 188 lbs and counting ;p) read more

Dropped into CrossFit Burlingame during a recent trip to San Mateo to visit my mom. I dropped in on a Saturday morning class and then an open gym the following Monday. Coach Andrew met me and welcomed me and my daughter with open arms. The class had a great energy and the partner WOD was fun. Shout out to Tanya for being a great partner! On Monday's open gym visit, we were welcomed by Coach Sieg and Owner James. The box has a lot of nicely allocated space and and equipment was top notch. I would highly recommend if your dropping in, and if I were living there, sign me up! read more

I've been a member of CrossFit Burlingame for over 12 years, when they originally were off of Rollins in Burlingame! I love this box. I started when I was trying to get in shape for my wedding. James was originally my personal coach before I joined group classes because I did not know how to squat. He is all about good form, and functional movement and pushes you enough to get results in a healthy way. Lots of training later, 2 babies, a couple of injuries (not associated to CrossFit) and I still come in when I can to get a real workout in even though life schedule gets in the way. James has built a great community, training focused on healthy functional movement, amazing coaching staff that are both knowledgeable and personable and just all around a space for personal growth in many ways. My goals have changed in the past decade, it used to be about having a certain body type, then it changed to having a healthy pregnancy and now at age 40 + it's all about longevity, and this gym has helped me with all of these goals. They have made it through a lot of changes and challenges and continue to be at the top of their game and that is hard to say about a small business gym. Longs story short, they are amazing. read more

I came to CrossFit Burlingame after hearing great things about crossfit workouts. Before coming here, I had a personal trainer twice a week cost me $100 per session. I saw great improvements in my body, but the workouts were consistently the same and boredom struck. Running is my forte- anywhere from 5-10 miles daily. My main focus was to add muscle while still learning proper technique. After looking into different gyms (boxes) around, CFBG seemed the most convenient for me. I inquired about a free session online. Rebecca called me shortly after and asked me to come in to have a one on one with the owner, James. Before I knew it, was starting fundamentals with a group that was just a terrified as I was. My plan was to attend crossfit twice a week, while maintaining my running schedule. After completing fundamentals, I realized that I really loved the atmosphere and wanted to come everyday. Yes- I drank the cool-aid. I could sit here and go on and on about how amazing this box is, the community and the coaches, but that would go on for days. James, Patrick, Rebecca and Drew are four coaches that make the gym what is is. Their dedication and focused attention to each individual brings me back every time. I have seen changes in my performance I never thought were possible. I have challenged myself further and further. To this day, I have completed a Spartan Trifecta and PR my 1/2 marathon time at 1:45 all in the 5 months I have been a member. Each class is completely different, focusing on different movements and workouts. One day could be all cardio, another weightlifting, and others a combination. With the variation in daily exercises, you really do get a full body workout. The equipment is all in great shape with bars for each students, rowing machines, spots on the rig, kettlebells, medicine balls, slam balls...the list goes on. Recent renovations included a larger rig and peg board. Upstairs there is a private room to do your own exercise as well as a shower after a killer workout. This place has become my second home and family. I have met some of my best friends here and only continue to expand that circle. Each person in your class, besides your coaches, push you further and further. Everyone is there to encourage you and push you to reach your maximum potential. You will not chose wrong when coming here! Come check it out and experience it for yourself. read more

See all

I have started doing to crossfit burlingame since it's inception back in 2011. They have the same great coaching and programming. The only difference now is they larger facility now located in San Mateo. James places great values and morals in his coaching team and that is very clear in the classes. All the coaches are very personable and approachable. Whether you are new to crossfit, or a seasoned veteran you will have a great experience. I am fortunate to have been able to rely on crossfit burlingame during this COVID-19 pandemic. read more

I love this gym. I've been a member for years and have happily donated my time to the box maintaining equipment, rallying people for events, even pouring concrete in the back patio. The owner has lied about his vaccination status for months and has refused to follow COVID protocols. When finally confronted by a member, he reacted with violence, attempting to physically attack them. In addition, we members have discovered that the owner is not a currently certified coach with CrossFit HQ and have kept this a secret as well. I can't in good conscience support this facility and for the sake of the sport & community I love, I'm giving this gym 1 star. read more

I started CrossFit during a pandemic...... Literally what I thought was one of the most stupid things that I could ever do. but I wanted to share a few things that made me feel super comfortable with the fact that this is a location that I feel comfortable working out at during the pandemic. first off, at the start of every workout everyone is required to have a temperature check. After that we're required to wash our hands completely. next whenever we go and get our equipment, we are not allowed to take our mask off for any reason. After we get our equipment and we go to our stations, which is outside and not in a secluded area with other people, that's when wherever we're allowed to take our masks off to start the workout. All the workstations are at least 6 ft apart. So there's really no interaction with people, that put you at risk for covid. During the whole workout, you stay within your area and I feel very safe in working out in this environment. at the end of the workout, we lay out all of the equipment within our station, and one of the people that work at CrossFit Burlingame, come around and spray down all of the equipment with antiseptic. We go and we wash our hands, with our masks on of course, then come down and wipe down all of our equipment to ensure that it's been disinfected properly. then we carry all of our equipment and put it all up in its proper location, again with our masks on. With that in mind, as stupid as I thought it would be to start CrossFit during a pandemic, it's actually worked out really well for me. I've only been doing it for about 6 weeks now. And I'm not going to lie to you and say that this is super fun, because it's not. It's tough. But that's because I let myself get out of shape. And it's what I need. For me this is just a huge challenge that I have to overcome and that I'm growing a lot as a person while I'm going through this journey. I know that after I leave CrossFit Burlingame, I feel a whole lot better than when I did before I came there. That says a lot about what this is doing for me both mentally and physically. I'm slowly, but surely starting to gain my confidence back in my physical abilities. That's something that is a gift I'm giving to myself, by putting myself through a little bit of hell :-) Highly recommend this facility to anyone that needs a kick in the ass to get back into shape, but also wants to feel super comfortable doing group workouts during the pandemic. read more

CFBG is THE place to go if you are looking to get in shape and have fun doing it. The coaches are amazing and always there to help with technique, safety, and pushing you to your fullest. I am a former D-1 football player and I haven't found a better way to train. The programming is fantastic, and in the 2 years I've been here, I can't remember doing the same workout twice! Not only is the programming and coaching great, but the community and camaraderie is second to none. If you are looking to get in shape (from beginner to expert) this is the place to be. All are welcome! read more

The trainers here are good looking and in good shape. I like the layout. They really get you in shape. They work with you while you do the workout. I love how spacious the place is . I love how different the workout routines are. The water is really good here too. I came in like what up and it seemed the trainer had the whole plan laid out like she knew exactly what would be right for me specifically . The fundamentals class is really cool, I suggest everyone try it. The location is excellent too. read more

A great gym that prides itself on amazing coaches and an atmosphere you can't find anywhere else. Not only that, but the gym has created a very safe environment by taking all the necessary COVID-19 precations. I would 10/10 recommend to a friend. read more

Great instructors. Nice community. The training programs they put together work for any level.

I've been a member here for 7 months now. This is a really special gym. All the coaches are great - they walk around during class, correcting form and motivating you. All the movements are demoed before the workout. There's a huge focus on doing things correctly to prevent injury and maximize benefits. I originally joined this gym to lose weight. I have a medical condition that makes it difficult for me to lose weight, and even though I did bootcamp classes and watched my diet, the last 15 pounds stubbornly stayed on me. Within a few months of crossfit, the pounds melted away. But more importantly, weight stopped even being my focus and I started to focus on performance. I discovered my inner athlete! The classes are hard work, no matter what your fitness level is. As someone who never played a sport and never particularly liked exercise, I was not expecting to love it so much. I LOVE Crossfit and it has changed my life! It has opened a whole new set of endurance based activities to me like hiking. This gym is really well organized, offers a variety of classes and open gym hours, and has members from all age groups 20-60. They also have fun social events and competitions! read more

Great coaches, Great vibe, Great people, don't forget Great workouts made by the staff keeps you in check! I definitely feel safe during this Covid Life. Recommended 100% to stay safe and healthy read more

I love CrossFit but this CrossFit place doesn't seem they care about their new costumers. I waited almost 30mins outside waiting for some employee or coach to guide me what to do but they never initiate talking to me if I need help or something. When I start, everything was ok following all rounds and exercise what not. But when we finished the coach was so focus talking to these couple guys for like 10-15mins? So we decided to just leave and didn't end up liking the community overall. instead of talking to me or the other lady whose trying out the CrossFit gym as well. read more

I have been a member of Crossfit Burlingame for a little over a year. Prior to joining, I was a marathon runner and had to switch to cross training because my knees were bothering me from the wear and tear of running. When i started Crossfit, I walked through the doors with an open mind, expecting to learn a lot and knowing that I was going to enjoy very intense and challenging workouts. I received that and much more for the following reasons: 1. The Sweat factor- I personally live off a really good and intense cardio workout. For instance, I love burpees... I mean, who doesn't? :P If you share relatively the same level of twisted desire to go through a complete gas out cardio burn, this is your gym. The programming of the workouts are consistent with fun workouts that challenge members and make them stronger athletes. Of course, if your thing is just lifting... this gym can also cater to your needs through the barbell and lifting classes. 2. The coaches are hands on- I do not have any history of lifting. Bluntly put, no one ever taught me how. The coaches at this gym will literally walk around the floor to guide you through the movements so you can exert max effort without hurting yourself. This is paramount to not only minimize injury but to make the new members feel comfortable... aka: minimize the deer in the headlights look. (Every new member to Crossfit has the same look) 3. Nutrition guidance- James is the owner of the gym and is one of the most genuine people I know. He truly cares about the members in his gym and often goes out of his way to help the members become physically and mentally better athletes. I started Crossfit at about 27% body fat in August 2016. Around January of 2017, I had dropped to only about 24-25% body fat by default of the intense workouts. I wanted faster and better results, especially given how hard I was working during the workouts. James and I started talking about nutrition and he basically hand held my way through my diet and I saw results immediately. By about May 2017, I had dropped to 19% body fat and was the most fit I had ever been. As a result, I feel better about myself and am stronger during my workouts because my body is running on clean fuel. 4. Crossfit Burlingame fosters true friendships- The members and coaches at Crossfit Burlingame are very welcoming and it's very easy to feel at home at the gym. I remember one time James saw a member arrive at his gym only to suddenly and abruptly leave. James then asked a member of his staff to look up this particular member's contact so she can call him just to make sure he was ok. (He was, just didn't feel well that day) That's the kind of love and support you will experience when you're at Crossfit Burlingame. We truly care about each other, not only do we workout and meal prep together, we celebrate birthdays and enjoy outings together. I myself have formed bonds with members that I know will be long-lasting friendships. 5. If you're intimidated, it's probably a sign that you should just do it. XOXO -Angel read more

I was visiting the San Mateo area on business and attended two 6-7AM sessions at CrossFit Burlingame -- both were solid drop-in experiences! The first was with Coach Andrew, who quickly got me waiver'd and paid-up Wodify before class started. We then did a quick dynamic warm-up, followed by stretches, and finally wrapped the WOD with a long AMRAP metcon. The second class, which was a few days later with Coach James, was even easier to jump into since I had already signed the waiver and simply needed to pay for the session. That class included another solid dynamic warm-up and stretch, followed by a T2B skill-building ladder of movements, and ended with a T2B-inclusive metcon. I stayed a bit later after each class, with permission from the coaches, for an extra core burn -- their GHD machine happened to be located upstairs, away from the following classes. Nice! I felt both welcomed AND challenged by the local members, received quality feedback on my movements, and walked out dripping sweat at the end of each. Excellent drop-in experience, will attend again the next time I'm in San Mateo! read more

Dropped in three times to this CrossFit box while visiting the area. I found the coaching to be excellent and the community friendly. Solid facility and good quality equipment; everything was clean. read more

I decided to check out this place because I saw their AmazonLocal voucher go live. Kind of like another reviewer's experience, while I felt some of the trainers were really friendly and encouraging, I just didn't think this was the right community for me. I also think they need to state clearly that their Beginners' course is 2 weeks and that you cannot make up any missed classes. Had they stated that explicitly in the promotion, I probably would have been more thoughtful about purchasing. I had missed one class because I wasn't feeling well (since I wasn't used to the crossfit workout regimen), and the lead trainer sort of singled me out and made me feel really uncomfortable even though a few others in my class missed out as well. I also didn't like how everyone had to call out their timing and everyone would wait and watch until the last person finished... that's just something I wasn't used to or comfortable with (personal preference). As a result, I ended up not wanting to attend the last 2 classes either. This was just not the encouraging/welcoming spirit that I thought crossfit was about. The other part, too, was that I felt there was a lot of pressure to perform above your ability instead of easing into personal fitness goals. I can see why there are a lot of articles outlining how injury prone CrossFit can be. I do have some friends who love CrossFit and their respective training studios, so maybe my experience was not of the norm. Regardless, it just wasn't for me, and I found a different gym that suits my goals and personality much better. read more

What can I say, this gym is nothing short of incredible. The owner cares so much about the gym and it's clients. It shows. My girlfriend and I did hundreds of classes here. read more

I went here the other day with my cousin to see exactly what CrossFit was all about and let's just say...I'm still kind of sore. We went to the free beginners' class on Saturday and were greeted by a very friendly staff. They taught us the basics and showed us the proper form so that we wouldn't hurt ourselves. At first when I was doing these wide-range of exercises, I wasn't feeling any soreness..even throughout the day I didn't. It wasn't until the NEXT day, I felt sore...all over my body. And when you feel an ache, you know you had a good a work out! I'd definitely recommend this place to people who want to diverse their work out routine. They had us doing a variety of exercises that I've never tried in my life! read more

Animalistic and Supportive! I've been crossfitting for 2.5 years and only joined 2 months ago- nervous if I'd fit in at the new box (just moved to the Bay Area recently and desperate to slide back into Crossfit from where I used to live). I had nothing to be nervous about! The athletes encouraged me through high-5s and fist bumps after a few visits, without even asking what my name was. It was sheer acceptance without the talk. How awesome is that! Eventually, handshakes, names and phone numbers were exchanged and I seriously felt part of the Crossfit Burlingame family. You can have membership and be beast mode at any box---but to have that COMMUNITY backing is so vital (to me, that is). And you can definitely find that at CFBG. I admire the coaches and their knowledge (they're too legit to quit!), love the availability of classes and the support system that swirls in this box. They watch you carefully to avoid injury and praise you for your efforts. I'm still learning and their teaching styles have been great (not demeaning, they speak to you in an encouraging fashion) I LOVE CROSSFIT and although I'm small and petite, I am humbled by the strength I'v gained and the lifestyle change. At CFBG, I can already tell this will be a place for me to excel and break records--to be even stronger. I get so excited to come here b/c I know my efforts won't be wasted and the growth is guaranteed, as long as I commit and never give up. Thank you Crossfit Burlingame for existing and making newbies like me feel welcomed!! :) read more

Two nights a week you will find me here... getting my sweat on, putting in work! This is not like the gym where you're on the elliptical for an hour and then do some weights here and there. You go through a 2 week fundamentals class to get an idea of what CrossFit is all about. I started in June and still obsessed and dedicated to it. Each trainer is very thorough on the exercises so your form is correct and you're not straining yourself. There is so much variety in the workouts and I've never pushed myself this hard. I feel myself getting stronger and I love how supportive the peers and trainers are. And they play good music to get all pumped up for your WOD (workout of the day). You will be addicted once you give it a try :) read more

I have been working out with James at CrossFit Burlingame for about a year. I have discovered it to be an amazing place to develop your level of fitness. I was skeptical at first about CrossFit, but discovered CFBG to be more than just a place to perform functional movement based workouts. The Crossfit style workout has a reputation for a high potential for injury. James observes and engages each athlete and tailors workout routines that meet their fitness goals with an emphasis on safety and correct execution of movements. James's passion for health and fitness can be seen in his coaching style. James commitment has gotten me very excited and encouraged about my fitness. This has translated to amazing gains in my level of strength, how I look, feel and how I perceive myself. I now surf at a higher level, sleep more deeply and achieve more in mountaineering endeavors. James will help you discover your hidden athlete. That being said, it's not the most amazing thing about CFBG. Coaching is a critical part of strength and conditioning, but the community at CFGB has also been very important to my growth as an athlete. The community that James has cultivated is incredible. The group celebrates one another's efforts and that makes one not only feel great, but also elevates one to the highest level of performance. I think that when you are part of a supportive community you tend to stick with it. I don't think that I could get through some of the brutal workouts alone. It doesn't matter who you are; you could be a young elite athlete looking to improve your performance in a specific sport, or someone who wants to improve their health and get off medication; there is a workout at CFBG for you. read more

Saw their Yelp deal a couple months ago and sent them a message via Yelp to ask about the schedule. Never got a reply so I just went ahead and bought it. I called them later to find out when I could come in and lucky for me the beginners course was gonna start the next Monday. So I went to my first Crossfit class. It was good. Met some people and most of us had similar goals. However, I didn't know that this class was only 2 weeks, M,W,F. I couldn't make the class on Wednesday evenings because I had a college night class. So when I told them, they asked me if I could skip school. LOL. Seriously? Couldn't I just have rescheduled for another day? I guess their beginners class is ONLY on M,W,F evenings. Oh well. Maybe it was my fault for not waiting for them to reply to my initial message or calling them ahead of time to ask. Needless to say, there went $99 down the drain. read more

I LOVE EVERYTHING ANOUT THIS PLACE!!!! The coaches were super friendly and I felt welcome as soon as I walked in the door. The workouts were challenging but scalable. Saturday's are my favorite. They usually do partner WODS so it's a great way to meet the community. So thankful I found this place read more

This is a review of a Crossfit beginner. More like a Crossfit absolute idiot actually. My girlfriend joined this gym a few months back and has since raved about the great workouts as well as the genuine community it fosters. So much in fact, that I didn't have a choice but to try it on Saturdays during partner workouts. What's a guy to do? Not gonna lie, this place intimidated me at first. The metal bars, rowing machines, the fit bodies, pre-workout shakes and the ever so faint smell of chalk and hard work... They all make for a scary combination. But all it took is one workout to understand what the Crossfit community is about. The coaches (Andrew, James, Patrick) are absurdly helpful and pleasant. They'll guide you through the steps and know just the right way to motivate you to work your ass off. Sure you'll sweat, get sore, and probably not be able to feel your body parts after the first workout. But it gets better and very soon you'l be in the best shape of your life. And last but not least, the community. These folks know how to have fun, and they do it as a team. In just one month, I've been invited to at least four parties, outings and events. What is this, meetup.com? Everyone I've met has been very approachable and friendly, whether during a WOD or at a coach birthday party. --- Distinguishing factor: If you're seeking both a good Crossfit gym and a supportive community, this is the best place to go in the Bay. read more

Updating my review, because I joined as a Crossfit newbie and am now in the best physical and mental shape of my life. Thanks, in large part, to the "Lion's Den"--truly the best Crossfit box in the Bay Area! I have been to many other gyms since I started investing in my health, and haven't found another that comes close to the amazing family I've found here. My first time in, waiting for class to start, I was totally intimidated. New to most barbell work, TOTALLY new to freaky gymnastics tricks, and with brief HIIT experience, I wasn't sure if I could fit in here. But within the first moments of my introduction, I got connected with great people, found clarity on my goals, and became convinced that this was the safe, voracious, and FUN environment I had been craving. I felt like I belonged here. The things that make me happiest about being a Lion: - The coaches. They know what they're talking about and have serious skills, but are some of the most lovely and approachable people you'll ever meet. They routinely go out of their way to make sure I'm improving in the ways I need, whether that be breathing techniques for my lifts, dialing in my nutrition, or just checking in on how life is going. Those interactions are so empowering, especially on the really tough days. If you want a down to earth professional who is going to keep 10 steps ahead of you to make sure you're performing your best and support you no matter what, get over here. - The programming. I love that, every single class, I'm getting the warm-up I need to keep safe, improving in a technical skill, challenging myself in a workout, and have the resources to pay extra attention to anything I need to work on personally...whether that be getting in extra conditioning on a machine, investing in my shoulder/back health with the Crossover Symmetry system, or enjoying Rondy's amazing yoga classes. - The results. After being a member for six months, my body fat percentage reached an all-time low, my lean mass increased, all my vitals were ideal, and I have never felt more proud of what I can accomplish. This is the place I started to love my body for the first time. This is the place I come to push into new levels of stamina, and pure joy. A few years and challenges later, I've never been more grateful for my family here. I would recommend Crossfit Burlingame to anyone, of any fitness level, in any season of life. You belong here! read more
