I signed up for a year back in January 2022. I have not been back to CrossFit for 2.5 years. The pandemic, and a military move really put a stop to that. I missed it so much. I could tell I was getting depressed. So I started scouting out for a new box to go to. With the help of a friend I came across CrossFit Hampton Roads. I asked the owner for a tour when no one was really around. I was having major anxiety starting up again. Not exactly sure why, but I know my physical appearance plays a large role with it. Lindsay was accommodating immediately. I loved what I saw. The feeling I got when I walked back into the door was awesome. I knew right away that this is what my life needed. I knew I would hopefully get in by March after Spring break. Well it turns out I went to my first WOD at the end of April. I felt like I fit in immediately. I was not too nervous. It was like riding a bike again. I have chosen to scale as much as possible until I get get back to where I was. I did not feel ashamed to scale either. The location is great as well. I love that there is a lot of female coaches. Lindsay has already had two eating challenges/activities. I participated in the first which was the 800g challenge. I throughly enjoyed that! I love that she has things other than workouts. CrossFit is a wonderful atmosphere with wonderful people. You become friends then family. Overall a wonderful location, and I love what I see. I can not sit to get stronger mentally and physically. read more

I decided to visit CF Hampton Roads based on the recommendation of the owner of CF 757. This is a great CF gym with knowledgeable and friendly staff. I have been doing CF since 2008 and I travel frequently and get to visit several boxes around the country and CF Hampton Roads made me feel at home as soon as I walked in the door. The coach made sure to that everybody introduced themselves to me since we had a smaller class for the day. The facility is large and clean with plenty of equipment (rowers, airdynes, kettlebells of various weights, etc). The coaches are very knowledgeable and understand the reasoning for their programming. I asked several questions on their OPT-style of programming and was very impressed on the answers. They understand energy systems training, which few gyms I've visited truly understand. The coaches also provide informed warm ups and mobility geared towards the WOD--nothing extraneous. If you're in the Hampton Roads area, definitely stop by for a WOD! read more

I've been an athlete at this gym since 2013 with a 2 year break because I moved out of the state. The coaches and athletes are absolutely awesome! There is genuine concern for athlete safety at all times and everything is scalable without judgement. The ages and abilities of our athletes run the gamut. If you're looking for try CrossFit this is the place! read more

Decided on a whim to join in 2016 and it was the best decision I could have made. The coaches are incredibly supportive and have helped me accomplish more with my fitness than I could have ever dreamed. The other athletes at the gym are always friendly and encouraging, whether you are there for a single class or for life-long fitness. read more

Too restrictive and uncomfortable for me. This was the first CrossFit gym I came across and I joined right away....big mistake. I felt belittled and judged throughout my workouts there. Suggest you try the CrossFit gym in Hampton or others before you make a decision, day and night difference. They're not all like this one read more

Phenomenal team of Coaches!! I cant imagine working out any where else. Everyone at the gym is welcoming and supportive in every way. You walk in and are immediately greeted by a warm and caring community of friends. read more

Signed up and paid for their Takeoff course back in February for their March class. I fell sick on the first day of the course and asked to be rescheduled for a later course to which they initially agreed. They never rescheduled me. After numerous emails and phone calls went unanswered to try to get me rescheduled, I decided I just wanted my money back. So several months later of emails and phone calls to their owner, I still do not have my money back. They refuse to respond to my emails. They are screening my phone calls because every time I have called, it goes to a Google voicemail. They aren't even using a real phone for their business. They are using a Google voice app. I'm sure they are nice people to exercise with, but on the business side, they are crooked. To this day, I still have not received any refund from them nor any contact. Once they have your money, they do not care whether you show up or not. I tried looking up their refund policy, but it is not listed anywhere on their website nor are you provided a copy of the policy after you've already paid for the course. It has been several months of my trying to get some sort of resolution from them with no response. They respond immediately as soon as I write a negative review about them on the internet. So they can't be that inundated if they are able to take the time to read and respond to an online review. Out of all the emails I sent them, NOT ONE was responded to. They messed up. They should admit they messed up and just return my money to me. My trust in them has already been damaged so their new offer to place me into a future Takeoff class is pointless. Maybe "crooked' is not the right word, but what else do you call it when someone takes your money and doesn't provide you with the service you paid for? It seems pretty unethical to me. Granted, this review reflects my experience with them and does not represent anyone else's. read more

I've been associated with this CrossFit since November 2011 and so far I could say there is never a day I regret coming to this gym. Before coming here I was enrolled with another gym and I was pretty much paying them for membership and not using it. This wasn't the first time I've ever done it before, I've done it to 3 other gyms. I could tell you this was not the same for this one. I looked forward to attending the classes they have everyday. I usually attended 4pm class after work but if my schedule changed to nights, I would attend the 10am or 11am class. If we have half day I would attend the 6am class. This was another reason I loved this gym, there were many options if you miss a class. I liked how they required new members to attend a two week intro class to assure you do not get injured and teach the basic moves step by step. Don't be afraid to ask any questions because there are different types of CrossFit gyms out there and sometimes there are bad images that gives CrossFit a bad name when this is far from it. I love how people would introduce themselves to you if they noticed you are new or unfamiliar, it'll make you feel welcomed. Any physical disabilities that you may think will prevent you from going? I'm speaking from experience, I was able to workout despite my physical disabilities. But trust me, you'll love the atmosphere. If you are an experience crossfitter, they welcome for temp membership. Thank you CFHR for the encouragement and support. read more

CrossFit Hampton Roads - Crossfit sign when you pull into the parking lot. - Gyms Near Me - Yorktown, Virginia

I used to be a member here but a change in management drove away the majority of the experienced coaches for which this gym was known and upon which its reputation was built. The Level 4 coaches mentioned in the business description are both gone as well. The facility is still good and supportive of drop-in athletes which is nice given it's proximity to the interstate and Langley AFB. read more

This is my gym. I joined CFHR in August of 2010. At the time, I had 3 years experience with Crossfit and was stuck on an plateau that spanned most of the fitness dimensions. Within a few weeks of joining, I began to see a dramatic increase across the board and now, just over a year later, I am still setting new personal records on all the benchmarks. It's rare that a week goes by in which I haven't established a new PR for myself. These results ARE typical. And it is attributable to 3 key elements: 1) The Crossfit and strength workouts are carefully designed and programmed; 2) the top-notch coaching staff, led by Nicole and Jeremy, keep athlete safety at the forefront while pushing them to meet their goals; and 3) the community fostered by the coaching staff but maintained by all the athletes is the most supportive group I've ever had the privilege to be a part of, on par with any of my former military units. read more

I started at CrossFit Hampton Roads two months ago because of their impressive coaching resumes detailed on their website. I was concerned at first when they made me stop working out twice a day and to only train once a day. I have been doing CrossFit for a long time and know my body very well. I am now worse at CrossFit two months later, which comes as no surprise. I will say that one benefit of this place was their emphasis on form and mobility, which I did improve on, but when you look at the coaches performance compared to the performance and form of the people they are criticizing and scaling they lose a lot of credibility and come across as ignorant. They refuse to allow the rest of us to work out with the same weight they use and the same amount of workouts they perform when their form looks identical or worse than many of the members. "Dude, why did he scale me I thought I was doing great" was the most common thing i'd hear almost every workout. I figured, "hey, at least I can try to pick up as much about "perfect form" as possible while I stick out the rest of this month." You know, make the most out of a bad situation. Talking to many members, they were equally as frustrated and have secretly been training on their own as well but didn't know if other gyms were going to be any different. I have been to other gyms and yes they are much better. That is just the culture of the gym that is annoying, but not the reason for me writing this complaint. Day 1 of signing up for this gym, I spoke with the general manager who said at any time you want to stop service just come talk me and I won't screw you over. That was a direct quote. After failing to quit in time for the first month, I came to the general manager a week before the end of my second month and told him I was quitting or freezing my account and to stop charging me. He said "ok cool, shoot me an email." I texted him since I did not have his email and I got no response. So I sent an email to the actual gym and another text to him a few days later, to which he replied after the pay date "sorry, I don't know who this is I lost all of my contacts".. Trying to stay cool and collected about the whole thing I asked for a refund on my account because they went ahead and charged me for the third month. Thinking they just hadn't gotten to it yet or forgot I was quitting I gave them the benefit of the doubt. The GM responded and said sorry I didn't think we set up an EXACT date for when you were going to cease membership and played dumb basically implying our conversation the week before had never happened and meant nothing. Then I get an email from the owner saying you need to have that you are quitting in WRITING, with writing in all caps, 14 days in advance from the day you want to cease service. ARE YOU KIDDING ME?? I just graduated college and they basically emptied my bank account against my will. Not only was that the fine print of the contract, which was all obscure online, you would think that they would have told me a week ago when I tried to quit in person that it needed to be in writing in advance. In the real world a week in advance verbal notice, two texts, and an email should have been enough for any business that gave two hoots about their clients, but they wanted to squeak out every penny from me by taking full advantage of the contract. I would never recommend this place to anyone for any reason. The way they handled the situation at the end playing all sorts of games and beating around the bush, it almost ruined CrossFit for me entirely. Imagine for a moment that you wanted to sign up for 1 month, you would already have to have your intent to quit in writing after 2 weeks, oh but they won't tell you that. This scammy behavior is probably part of their business model and why they have stayed afloat by squeaking an extra 180 bucks from everybody. There were a few good coaches, but do not take a chance on this place because your interest is not their interest. read more
