Been to a lot of CrossFit gyms but CrossFit Amundson has been the most impactful to me. The…read morecommunity is unlike any other gym I've been to... the coaches and people are so supportive, motivating, and genuine. The coaches take the time to make sure all of the movements are being done correctly before moving on, and embrace modifications; making sure that anyone would be able to join for a class regardless of CrossFit experience. If you want a family experience in a gym while getting in the best shape of your life, this gym is for you. I could not recommend this gym enough... go, you will be so happy you did!!!

She gave me a tour etc. The class was great. We warmed up together and everything was discussed as a group before we grabbed our weights. It's a small gym but they made the docs work for the four of us. The coach was happy to scale the activities as needed. He seemed very knowledgeable. He cheered us all on by our names during the workout. Inspirational. At the end, no one was in a hurry to get out. They gave me recommendations on where to eat and where to go etc. that was really nice! I'd recommend anyone to drop in here. What a friendly and welcoming community of people. The gym itself is not just CrossFit. There'sthe Krav Maga classes as well. Did not meet Greg, but he had been traveling that weekend for a fight with a guy he trains. Clean bathrooms. T shirts available for purchase. And a donut shop in the same parking lot LOL. Check this place out! Drop in fee $25.

Dedicating my 2200th Yelp review (omg, what even!?) to the community that hooked me in and has kept…read morepushing myself to be the best version of me. Seabright CrossFit is one of the best boxes you're going to find out here in the greater Bay Area. Since it's located in the home of CrossFit, you can be assured that the quality of their coaches and workouts are top notch. I dropped in for a class after years of thinking about it (and having so many friends do CrossFit) and I haven't looked back. The classes offered are intentional, challenging, and addicting. Every class begins with a warm up, followed by a strength portion before diving into the workout of the day (WOD). The coaches walk through every single movement and offer scaling modifications to fit all levels and body types (seriously). They are a mix of HIIT, strength, and gymnastics, and all are designed to challenge your body in different ways. Thanks to this community, I've tried out new movements that I've never attempted (or at least hadn't in 2+ decades). I was active prior to CrossFit doing mostly cardio and some strength training at my gym, but nothing beats the rush of group fitness in a wonderful community. The Seabright CrossFitters are amazing and I've met some of the best people since living here in Santa Cruz. Sure, I can't do everything asked (still working on a proper pull-up, hanging upside down, and climbing a rope), but I try my best, and can tell you that I've never felt stronger and see myself being able to accomplish this if I stay focused and work (and REST!) hard. Prices may seem steep at first (with monthly memberships starting around $130) but you really can't put a price on your health, trust me. Try them out and see what you think, and maybe I'll see you in class one day! S/o to my 6am crew and coaches Katie, Pete, and Lorianne for being my champions through my CrossFit journey thus far!

He took time to make sure I understood everything and showed me modifications for the things I was learning. It was a very beginner-friendly environment, even though everyone there was built af. The workout was intense and a mix of cardio and strength, left me feeling great. Fun music too, all around great energy. Everyone was super friendly and encouraging. After the class, Coach Alex took a lot of time to explain different CrossFit principles and practices to me. Throughout the workout, he was super kind while pushing me to do my best. I'll definitely be back.

I told the management a very long and even met with a manager and showed him a long time ago and nothing has improved. Otherwise I would give this place more stars. Update: I saw the response to my post ( to reach out to them ) and then saw the multitude other of reviews saying the same thing about how dirty the bathrooms are. After reading all those one and two star reviews. and knowing nothing has been done about these, this place obviously does not care at all. They just pretend to care by saying to reach out to them but obviously they've heard this feedback many, many, times over without making changes. what is so hard about hiring maintenance people to clean the bathroom? That would make so many people happy and it's obviously a poor business decision

Everyone was expected to lay their mats directly on top of other people's sweat, and the weights were still wet and sticky.

Clean equipment and floors aren't just about appearances, they're important for helping prevent the spread of germs and ensuring members feel comfortable. I hope the studio makes cleanliness a higher priority moving forward because otherwise it's a fantastic place to work out.
