For me, I am mostly into running and free weights, however, they have so many other activities to get involved with that you will never get bored! My wife and daughter also love it as it is an extremely family friendly place, which in my mind, is the key factor for our decision to make this our fitness place! Overall, great family friendly place with tons to do!

Another new Manager, another failing grade. Against my better judgement, my wife joined. 3-days…read moreafter paying, working with their Manager AND a guy from "Corporate", they won't let her in to work out. SHE TOURED WITH THE MANAGER!! Still the restrooms are a mess, lockers always full, occasional raw sewage on the floor in the locker room, steam room NEVER works and at least the equipment is always broken. How hard is it to replace a carabiner or a simple roll of toilet paper for peak hours? There are two rolls on the fixture, can we have ONE that has TP on it and a locking stall would be nice. On the plus side, they keep the locker rooms open while the sewer backs up. Classy. Kudos. I have worked out at gyms all over the country. This one could be OK. Many Genesis clubs are nice! Just a complete lack of caring is endemic of this location. Like it's cursed.

I stopped by here on a Sunday morning for a day pass. The front desk was very friendly and helpful…read more The gym was nice and clean. Some of the equipment were a little older, but no tear or wear, just solid. The locker room, the pool, the hot tub, the steam room, and the shower were all very clean! I will definitely come back to use the gym again when I'm in the area.

Crossfit Criterion is the first Crossfit box I've been a member of and I love this place! I did…read moreresearch a couple of other boxes in town. There are a lot of naysayers out there of Crossfit, usually people that have never participated in the training, but I can say I have found the negativity completely unfounded in Criterion. After all of the variety of training I did during 22 years in the Marine Corps, I wish I had known about Crossfit while I was still in. It is no wonder that so many members of the military, particularly Special Operators, and law enforcement and first responders use Crossfit as a valued training tool to enhance their capabilities. As a disabled Veteran, my coaches have worked with me and have scaled the workouts to achievable levels to help me set goals, build confidence, and get me back to the levels of fitness I want to achieve and more. Drew and Matt are outstanding coaches and just great people! Did I mention that they are both former Marines? Join this box and you're getting great coaching and supporting a Veteran-owned small business! And the people! The folks that I've met at this box have none of that globo gym attitude nor do they have any sense of "elite" snobbery that one might run across from other people at other Crossfit boxes. In summary: Crossfit Criterion is just plain cool to go "get your WOD on"!

The workout was tough as always but this one was at the top. Probably a pre hell week workout. The Playlist was awesome and not too girly.

I was visiting from Texas and happy I made the visit. Enjoy!

My previous review complained about their policy of requiring a credit card to book a free class…read moreand my hesitance to do so. I decided on a workaround. I used a visa gift card to book my free class. And I really liked the class, they were actually doing 2 free classes at that point in time, so I liked both classes. After the second I signed up for their cheapest membership which was 4 classes/month at $59. Then they ran a thing called Hell Week, where you got a free t-shirt if you did X out of X workouts in a week, I think it was like 5 of 7. This required me to buy more classes, but I got sucked into the challenge. And it was hard, but it was good. So I bumped up to their next level, 8 classes/month for $100. So I was going about 2xs per week. I'm a 38 yr old guy who hasn't really consistently worked out since high school. I had to kind of ease into this and make sure it worked with my schedule. But the workouts worked for me. The coaches work for me. I like the motivation. I like just showing up and having someone tell me what to do. They always show modifications, and I've never had anyone make me feel weak for the size dumbell I pick up, or modified sit-ups because my back hurts. I've increased my stamina and endurance on the treadmills (when I tried running outside last summer I kept getting bad shin splints, the coaches helped me with how to work those out, but the short bursts on the treads mean I don't get the shin splints very often anyways.) I asked the Coach Theo a few weeks ago about signing up for a 5k, and he encouraged me to do so, said I'm running almost that far on the treads in a class, and that I could totally do it. So I signed up for the Reentry & Recovery Fresh Start 5k last weekend and I ended up finishing far before my goal, knowing I could have actually run a little faster, and I bewilderingly won a medal, 2nd place in my age/gender division. It was an amazing feeling. I'm feeling way more strong, fit, energized. I love that there is a kind of team mentality but that it's also about me and my goals and pushing myself and not about anyone else. It's a great way to clear my head and a great start to my day. I'm now signed up for the unlimited classes for the next 6 months and I'm going like 4-5 times per week. You do have to use one of their brand of heart monitors, there's an arm one, a chest strap that's a little cheaper, and I think they're coming out with one that communicates with the Apple Watch? You can borrow one for the free class, rent one if you want each class during the first month if you're checking it out, but it's more cost effective to buy one eventually. Because of the 30 day cancelation policy, basically anytime you decided you want to quit you'll still have to pay for 1 more month. And they also have like 10 class packs. They want you to come in and try the class and then they'll explain the contract stuff to you, but it's not super high pressure. The people are chill and cool. There's a transformation challenge thing coming up in January that involves photos and weigh-ins and cash prize for percentage of weight loss.
