Bill and Staci Russell have employed role models in their own image to train us into "fit" human beings with a desire to "press on" for more. "Caring", "professional", "witty", are words which come to mind as I think of all of the trainers. Well-timed classes which run in a smooth and orderly fashion are fun with challenges which are encouraged to take by these words, "Do what you can". Those words are especially important to us 50 and above. Otherwise, the staff is there always to encourage you and watch for safety and correction. "Friendly", "courteous" and "knowledgeabe" are 3 other words which ring true for Crossfit Cleveland in Rocky River, Ohio. I have done more than I ever thought possible; and, all of it helps me to maintain my busy "run-around" lifestyle of homemaking, yardwork (for a home and a cottage) to raising grandchildren in a parttime but weekly and regular fashion and volunteering. Running, jump-roping, skipping, rope-climbing, rowing, long-jumping and monkey bars are my joys once again. Youth was the last time I enjoyed all of those activities. And, now, I can, also, do "THE TIRE", box-jumps, wall ball shots, squats, deadlifts and more with the barbells, dumbbell thrusts and other exercises with dumbbells, wallball slams, burpees and.....I lost count (but that's normal in Crossfit). NUTRITION is taught for those who are interested in it. It has helped me avoid junkfood. The "PALEO" program and "The Zone" are 2 programs, taught. There are no "hardsells". TRY CROSSFIT CLEVELAND in ROCKY RIVER where all ages from elementary years to us, older "youth are present and welcome!!!!!!!!! read more

I started CrossFit Cleveland about three months ago and it was my first real experience with group workouts. I have to say that I have fallen in love with the environment and the community at CrossFit Cleveland, so much so that now my daughter has signed up as well! Bill and Staci immediately made me feel right at home. They have both continued to encourage and push me to be the best I can, teaching me good form, proper movements, and how to be a part of a team. Stacy is also fantastic with the kids, focusing on not only having fun in class but also what it means to be a part of a team. I think both Staci and Bill really understand that exercise, for children, translates to improved self confidence and academic performance. I am stronger now than just three moths ago, and I am so excited to see where I will be in another three months, six months, and even one year! I highly recommend trying out a class just to see what you think. I am so glad that I did! read more

Crossfit Cleveland will change your life. My husband has been going for just over a year and has changed shape. I have been going since September and stand much straighter and feel a lot stronger. The people that workout here are really supportive and fun and come in all different shapes and sizes from the really fit young athletes to the middle age Moms like myself trying to get in shape. The camaraderie is huge. The staff is very knowledgeable and will work with you at your level with the appropriate amount of encouragement. If you are ready to make that lifestyle change for yourself or your family this is the place to start and finish. It is never boring. I've found a whole new family of friends. I've talked to people that thought they were working out until they tried one of the free classes and discovered what crossfit is all about at Cleveland CrossFIT! Call them today. read more

If you don't know what Crossfit is at all...you have to check it out!. I had been doing Crossfit on my own for about a year and a half and got into great shape. Then, I joined Crossfit Cleveland and actually started to learn good technique. Bill, who runs the gym, has more experience with Crossfit than anyone else in the area...by far! All the trainers are amazing and willing to tailor the workout to what you need. There is a wide range of athleticism at this gym, making everyone fit in. They are also looking for more space (which means they must be doing something right)! read more

Coaches and members here are encouraging, supportive and most importantly, friendly. The coaches offer tips and suggestions before and during each workout and keep close eye on members to make sure form and technique stay strong. They offer much more than just CrossFit WODs and encourage members to join other classes and events. There is so much to get involved with, its an excellent community. The workouts are fun and different, and I love that classes are offered every half hour, it is very accommodating. Highly recommended. read more

CrossFit Cleveland creates an atmosphere of camaraderie and acceptance. And while anyone of any level of athletic ability is welcomed (and cheered), it's also a gym where middle-age, non-athletes like myself feel embraced and challenged. Until I joined five years ago, I had never participated in athletics or workout routines. The difference is noticeable and welcome! Come join us. We'll cheer for you too! read more

I've been a member for about two years and it's really had a big impact on my life. The workouts challenge you to push your limits, but at your own pace. The skills and movements are consistent and are tested regularly, which makes it easy to build on. I know that when I get through a tough workout at 6 am that I can get through anything else that comes at me the rest of my day. read more
