CFI is an awesome place. The community and staff are so supportive and helpful. You will never feel like you can't do the workouts as the coaches are able to scale down the workouts to allow anyone to do it. Don't think that you can't start CrossFit. I was near 300lbs when I started and I've lost 40 lbs of fat in less than a year. You just need to stick with it. read more

Honestly I love this place! All the coaches are great and are very knowledgeable. Each one may have a different style of coaching, but they all care about the members in their classes. The work-outs/programming is great and well rounded. It doesn't matter what your level is they will work with you and your goals. The best part about this place is the community. Doesn't matter what class you go to you are bound to make friends. I know I have and it's been the icing on the cake. Working out by yourself is tough but with good people any brutal work out can be a good one. read more

I don't even know where to start! I was never an athlete, never someone who enjoyed working out. So how did I end up doing CrossFit? Well it all started as a biggest loser challenge at work. We teamed up with CrossFit Insurgent for a month as part of our biggest loser challenge. Well needless to say almost 2 years later, I'm still here! Mind you, I was never the working out type! It goes without saying, that what makes a difference in our lives are the people who enter it. I have never been the same since CrossFit Insurgent entered my life. Everyone has been so gracious and patient with a," non-athletic" person. Although, I can't ever again say, "I'm not athletic." They worked ever so patiently to meet me where I was in my abilities, only to help me build the skills needed I needed to build my physical strength. In the past several months I began to participate in Olympic Weightlifting. Not because I want to be an Olympic Weightlifter but because I wanted to develop a skill set in weightlifting that personal trainers at a gym can't provide. Mainly cause gym trainers like to yell (I don't like the yelling). However, at CrossFit Insurgent, I get pushed to outdo my personal best with encouragement not only from the trainers but from my fellow lifters. It's amazing how you can go from not enjoying workouts to getting into Olympic Weightlifting. If like me, you're non-athletic and are too scared of the word CrossFit or just don't like personal trainers whose aim is to use intimidation. This is the place for you. No intimidation here, just encouragement and a push to out do your personal best. read more

I drove by and the sign caught my eye. I stopped in to get some info and I was very impressed by how welcoming and professional the trainers were. I am looking forward to coming for my trail. I recommend checking it out. read more

This place is different in a good way. Everyone (staff and other clients) are friendly. You feel the good energy as soon as you walk in. Brian has done an excellent job in creating an inclusive environment where everyone is welcome. I was hesitant at first since I am used to the known gym establishments but as soon as I walked in, I was greeted by the staff as if they knew me. Two weeks after my first visit I got a call from Gio making sure everything was working out for me. I certainly recommend this place for all of your fitness need, and of course, the addition of personal training sessions with Ricardo makes the place even more holistic. I am glad I made the decision to join - Life is Good! read more

I've been a member of CFI for about 1 month now. I'm new to Crossfit and was very nervous about finding the right place that would give me the kind of encouragement I need to succeed. CFI has some amazing coaches that give great positive motivation and recognize that we're all coming from different levels of fitness. The Insurgent family is also very motivating and each class feels as though you are part of a team that wants to see you succeed and is EXCITED for you when you do! I would highly recommend this for any beginner of Crossfit like myself, and for those who are veterans of the program. read more

Hhhheeeeelllloooo everyone!!! As a long time member and one of the OGs of CFI I have had my share experiences at this crossfit gym, one of the reasons I have remained loyal to this box is because of the coaching experience and knowledge that the staff provides. This is no longer just a gym these people have become my family! With a busy work routine and a very active lifestyle I have always been pleased with the programming and intensity that this box has provided me. In addition to that its good to have a community based gym that is good about doing social events with its members and providing for the local community. I am thankful for the memories that have been created over the years and I have been fortunate to have seen this box prosper and flourish in SGV with new locations and additional members. If you are afraid or intimidated by crossfit don't worry most people are, but once you come in and give a workout a chance you will see that you will like it and if you're anything like me you will become addicted!!! Thank you, Luis :D read more

Love coming to this crossfit gym. Being an older woman I found it hard to go to gym classes they were very large and I didn't feel a part of. Since joining crossfit insurgent I enjoy coming to class I feel a part of a team it's awesome. I'm doing things I always felt intimidated doing at a gym like lifting weights. To me coach Brian is like a millinium Jack LA Lane. He takes the time to show you how to do it right then encourages you to keep going. As for the rest of the coaches they are just as caring and encouraging. Can't wait to start Friday night lights. read more

My only regret is not starting crossfit sooner. This is a much better workout than any gym workout! Having a team environment and a set amount of time to complete your workout in creates a phenomenal workout. These Olympic lifts are the same workouts I used to do in high school, but it was called Bigger, Faster, Stronger back then. Same concept, same great workouts. Come check it out. I can guarantee you won't regret it read more

If you're seeking to get fit, this is the place to come to achieve your fitness goals.

I have been a member of the insurgent family since it opened in October. Crossfit insurgent has changed my life for the better. I never knew how strong I could be and what my body was capable of. All the coaches (Brian, Joey, victor, jake, ish , Aaron and jenny) push you to be a better you. I have learned so much from each coach. They all show such a love and passion for the sport. Crossfit insurgent has made me a confident woman inside and outside . This is not only a place to work out, this is a place where you develop a second family. Start together finish together.

Crossfit Insurgent - Trainers Near Me - West Covina, California

Been coming to this gym since April. Love it! People are friendly and coaches are great! It definitely feels like a community!

I started crossfit one week ago here, redeeming a xmas promotion for a 30 day FREE trial which is AMAZING!!! All i can say is that this place ROCKS! The community is amazing, friendly, helpful, supportive, motivational, and definitely inspirational. They practice "proper form" and "safety" always comes first. The coaches are GREAT and push you to reach your best potential. Morning sessions are great for beginners since the classes are a lot smaller which gives the coach more time for a one-on-one coaching if you need it. Coach Rob has been amazing with me by teaching me all the proper movements and techniques. I HIGHLY recommend this place, and I just wish I would of started sooner! read more

This is one of the best boxes in town. I've been working out here a little while and the coaches always help. They take the time to teach you one on one help with movements and explain why the movements are done the way they are. Coach Brian goes above and beyond to help you in any part of health and fitness. read more

Love CFI!!! Been coming here for about 2 years now. This box is a great place to workout. Great Coaches, friendly atmosphere, helpful and encouraging. I love the family environment, made great friendships since I started actually, they became more like family. Thanks Brian for having a great place to workout. Also the Oly team is great! Thanks coach Aaron for being a awesome coach. read more

The programs at this gym and challenging and push members to build stronger bodies daily. I have enjoyed my time coking to Insurgent and look forward to getting stronger with each WOD. read more

Been coming here for a while now and must say I'm addicted! Brian and Victor are excellent coaches, knowledgeable in this new sport of crossfit. Although work schedule sometimes makes it difficult to make it, their schedule of classes makes it easier then not. Although new to this sport of crossfit, I must say since my years as an Army RANGER I have never been challenged as I have doing crossfit. Brian and Victor make it easy to learn, but push you to your limit- in a good way during the WOD sessions. Their cast of trainers are awesome too- and are willing to help and teach all the time. They keep your body guessing, thus your body shows improvement quickly. Love this S**T guys!!!! Keep up the good work. Tony read more

I was in West Covina for a business trip and came across CrossFit Insurgent. I contacted the box through their website to inquire about dropping in as a visiting CrossFitter from Northern California. Within an hour, I received an automated response and a separate email response from Coach Brian. Great job of staying in tune with the business! I went in the following morning and was kindly greeted by Coach Ismael. He ran me through the awesome WOD. Ismael is an excellent coach! If I lived in West Covina, this would be my box. Thanks for the hospitality and great workout, CrossFit Insurgent. read more

You know you've been thinking about trying Crossfit for a while, well don't hesitate anymore you've found your new home (in CrossFit speak it's called a box). Brian the owner always brings the energy & is extremely knowledgeable about seemingly everything, his coaches are incredible & the atmosphere at this box is awesome! I've dropped in at several places & I feel lucky to say that my box is the best! If you're thinking about trying it out stop thinking!!! Come check it out. read more

The owner there really knows his stuff. They also offer a free program for youth, which I thought was totally giving back to the community.

From day 1 the coaches at Insurgent welcomed me and supported me as I slowly learned about Crossfit. Somehow I got addicted to the WODs and I crossfit 4-5 days per week. I've had so many good times over the last 2 years and I don't plan on quitting any time soon. read more

Crossfit Insurgent - Trainers Near Me - West Covina, California

One of the best crossfits I have ever experienced. Great experienced coaches. I lost weight, feel strong and energetic. Thank you coach Brian, Arron, and Jake. read more

I seriously LOVE Crossfit Insurgent! All of the coaches are amazing, but the members are what get me. It is a team atmosphere and their motto is always on point. Start together finish together. I have never found a gym that is more welcoming and encouraging than I Crossfit Insurgent! Come in and see for yourself. You will be happy you did. read more

I've been going to this box for a little over two years and I absolutely love it I'm not going to lie there are times I feel like it's my first day just because I feel like they push you to your limits but they do it in a way where you feel motivated and confident in what you are doing they teach you the moves before you do them so that when you're doing the actual WOD you know what you're doing... as you get stronger and faster the weight gets heavier and more challenging. Definitely the best place to go if you want to be stronger healthier and have an all-around quality of life read more

I get bored easily with workouts. I no longer go to the gym simply because it has become boring. Not a good way to feel about working out if you are trying to stay motivated. I've tried boot-camps and those are super fun. However cross-fit seriously has my attention!!! Especially Cross-fit Insurgent of West Covina. All the instructors are knowledgeable. I'm not talking about know-it-alls but trainers who are truly concerned that your form is correct and that you are working at the pace that best fits you. The environment is very exciting with lots of cheering and praise "You can do it!" How am I not suppose to be motivated. Here's the best part. At the end of my workout I am drenched in sweat feeling like I got a full workout that will definitely show results. The facility is clean and provides you with all the equipment you need. And all the members I have met are nice and more than willing to help you out. Nice staff, nice members, seriously I think I plan to stay as long as I can. Bonus: they have a late evening schedule , helpful for those like me who work 12 plus hour shifts. read more

(Review for the over 30 crowd) I have been working out for over 15 years, and I have always trained for sports, or the benefits that working-out does for your health. Several years ago, I notice I lacked motivation in the gym and struggled to find work-out partners or time to hit gym, for work and family obligations took up my time. My body and energy low energy levels began to reflect my lack of commitment to fitness. I needed a change and I discovered Crossfit Insurgent. It was a community consisting of all professional and walks of life, from family moms and dads, to young college kids who just wanted challenge themselves to be fittest, but achieve their goals individually and together as community because we all have different goals. The gym has trainers in backgrounds from Olympic Lifting and Fitness gurus to Football coaches who can peak your physical and athletic performance. The owner and members treat each other like family, and even my daughter comes along and plays in the kids corner with other kids. If you are looking for a fitness community that offers competitive, nurturing ,supportive environment, as well a family feel where all are welcome, this gym is a great Crossfit Box. read more

I've never done crossfit myself, but I started working out here because I wanted to train with Ricardo Alvarado! We train one on one, twice a week with body building style workouts. He is extremely knowledgeable in personal training as well as nutrition. He has helped me set and reach my goals and holds me accountable with the hardest part.... dieting. He works a lot on educating me with my form so I'm more confident about working out on my own now, too. I'm extremely satisfied with the results that I've seen for myself so far and highly recommend Ricardo to anybody that is serious about getting into shape and gaining strength. Also, his rates and availability are WAY better than any personal trainer that I've seen in the area, which is a huge plus with my busy work schedule. He even has a bonus weekend HIIT class for all of his clients, so theres no excuses not to hit the gym on the weekends! The music is great and the gym is super clean. The crossfit classes, from what I've seen, look fun and challenging. I see the instructors stress form with their classes, which you don't see often in crossfit gyms. All in all - great family environment and I'd recommend to anyone, regardless of their fitness goals or workout style. read more

I've taken a while to write my review because I knew I would need some time. So here is goes... I am a FAN of CFI. I have been a member since December and I seriously surprise myself every time. The coaches are amazing. The box itself is more of a family that supports each other and motivates one another to reach our goals. I started out with a three day membership and within a month I noticed on the days I was not working out I was thinking about working out and had to bump it up to an unlimited membership. Coach Brian is awesome and he listens to what his members need and when we wanted a 5am Crossfit class he made it happen with one of his best Coaches. Joining has helped me make a lifestyle change for the best. I don't drink or smoke, but Crossfit is for sure my drug and I'm hooked. read more

This place is awesome!!!! Great coaches! Great members! Great workouts! This is my happy place ‍. I've been a member for over 2yrs. They push me to do my very best. #starttogetherfinishtogether read more

Great group of trainers and members. Always make you feel welcome. Awesome hours for a gym let alone a crossfit gym, 5am to 10pm. Can go and get work in even if you can't make a class time. Meal service is great as well!!! read more

I joined Crossfit Insurgent 3 months ago and I have to say it was and is the BEST DECISION i have made in my life. If you do not know Brian he is an awesome box owner, and all the coaches are friendly and helpful. Datgat and Coach Aaron have helped me get my form right for lifting and I have not lifted this much weight since I lifted everyday in the offseason for football 8 years ago in high school. If you are in the area drop in for a WOD, or come to a free session, everyone at the box is welcoming! Thanks CFI! read more

I visit family in the area several times a year and wanted a box I could to go to while away from home. Fortunately I found CrossFit Insurgent. It's conveniently located and offers plenty of parking and the facility is large and well-equipped. And the classes are not overcrowded, either. But, really, the reason I go here when in the area is because the box members and instructors, especially Coach Brian, make you immediately feel welcome and part of their community. read more

Best thing I ever did was switch to CFI. I love how they are so creative in their CF WODS. They get you out of your comfort zone & I love that extra push. Everyone welcomed me with open arms. Everyone is so nice & knowledgable. Can't wait to see what the new year of 2016 has for me & my fitness journey! read more

Crossfit insurgent is awesome! All the coaches are knowledgeable. They strive for success in your ability to outperform yourself. They motivate you to push through that extra rep where you think you can't but you overcome your mental limit. The coaches constantly view your form and make any necessary changes for improvement. With their proper guidance you'll be pushing weight in no time! Great coaches and great members! Very positive environment! You have fun working out! Makes breaking a sweat easy! read more

Been waiting till I gave this place some time to post a review as I enjoyed it much at the beginning and was waiting for the honeymoon phase to wear off, but it hasn't. I look forward to coming each day to tackle the new Workout of the Day. Initially came in to do the free Crossfit intro workout and was intimidated by all the equipment with the big weights, as I didn't come in with a great deal of strength or workout experience and was led by a really fit dude. Nonetheless, I enjoyed the feel of the workout and felt it the next day, and it made me want to come back. While all the trainers are fit and got the physiques that we'd all like, they are all easy to talk with, have great personalities, and take time to get to know your name and encourage you on. The Fundamentals series helps you learn 1 on 1 how to do all the moves that will be in the WOD's. As part of it, they throw in a short chiro session to measure your flexibility to make sure it's safe for you. While the WOD's appear like a challenge, and they are a good one, they have scaling options for those who are semi fit and not fit at all and trying. After a few weeks, you will feel part of the team and look forward to challenging yourself as often as possible. The gym itself is a good size, not small and stuffy like one other local one I tried out. Lots of parking, plenty of quality equipment, and a great positive atmosphere that will make you want to come more and more. Prices are similar to all the other local gyms, but this one seems to offer more classes, times, and for those like me who pick up kids after school, they have a small area for them to play Legos and toys at during your workout for no extra charge. My only small gripe is the online info, as much seems to be a bit outdated. Give it a try for the free workout through their website. You will learn a bit about Crossfit, learn some of the moves, go through a workout, and hear about pricing in a very no pressure manner. I didn't sign up on the free workout, as I am naturally cautious, but felt myself wanting to come back and did so quickly. read more

I needed to finally give these guys a review. I luv this box. From everything to the coaches the classes everything is just right. I always enjoy and look forward to working out after a long stressful week or work day. You show up and never know what to expect, every day is a different workout that pushes you to the limit! I thought I was in awesome shape before I joined crossfitinsurgent boy was I wrong. If you're thinking about joining a crossfit gym I would highly recommend crossfitinsurgent. One of the best decisions I've made regarding my fitness. read more

Very friendly, welcoming team. It can be intimidating going into a new place, but this team of professionals make you feel at ease and enjoyable to be there. read more

Emailed the gym a day before to see if I could drop in on a WOD from coming out of town and luckily the last two weeks of the year they open their doors for free! That was a plus instead of paying $10 per session at golds gym somewhere. Brian was a great guy who leads a good class! Defiantly recommend this gym! read more
