Super friendly CrossFit gym! It is very welcoming for all levels of ability and fitness levels. The coaching staff makes an effort to provide feedback and help to make sure you're learning proper technique and achieving your goals safely. There are plenty of classes throughout the day to fit with your schedule. The workout programming is top notch. read more

I heard amazing things about this gym and I plan on joining soon. I have four children that are interested in joining based on what we heard about the staff. read more

Almost five years after joining the Ocho, it remains one of the best decisions I've made in my life. With consistency over time, I'm the most fit I've ever been. I was able to go off my cholesterol medication, and a recent CT scan noted my lack of visceral fat, which is critical in helping prevent chronic diseases. With more than 40 classes offered each week, even though I'm on the road a lot for work, I can almost always find a class time that works. Josh and Matt have continued to be instrumental in helping me achieve my health goals. Come check it out for yourself! read more

Highly recommend this gym!! We just bought a house in the area and I decided to check out the Ocho.. they have a great space, excellent coaches and friendly community that welcomed me in right away! Overall great experience and I'm so thankful to have found an awesome gym in my neighborhood! read more

Man has it been such a motivator to have signed myself up for this gym. I came from CrossFit Excel Health & Fitness in Manteca to the CrossFit Loco Ocho. I have only been doing CrossFit for a little under a year so I am no pro whatsoever. This gym though has definitely pushed me to do better than I was yesterday. At my old gym I started out as good as one can. But here at this gym I feel like I've definitely leveled up. The motto "Try Harder" has really been engrained in not only the gym but my life. The coaches are great and hold you to a higher standard which is really worth it! A year ago if you asked me to work out at 6am I would have said HELL NO. Now I wake up and start my day with CrossFit feeling good!!! if you want to better your life and challenge yourself to greater things, JOIN. read more

CrossFit Loco Ocho has changed my life. I went from a 40-something year old mom who rarely worked out, felt tired a lot, and did not have much strength (my flex was more like a flop) to a 40-something mom who loves working out, feels amazing, and surprises myself weekly with my growing strength and fitness. I've even been called "ripped" by someone very kind (and clearly needing glasses). But the point is, this gym is awesome. The coaches are so knowledgeable, supportive and they push me to grow mentally and physically. I would give this place 100 stars but five is the max. I encourage anyone who wants to get fitter to give this place a try! read more

My boyfriend and I were visiting family in Sacramento on our way to a wedding in Tahoe and decided to drop into the 9am class. Matt, one of the owners was extremely friendly and very welcoming. The class had members aged 10-74 years old and had such great energy. Everyone made us feel right at home! Matt lead the class with a solid warmup and stretching. He then explained the movement standards and helped everyone pick appropriate weights / rep schemes for their individual abilities (as any good coach does!!) Once we started working out Matt was very actively coaching, making sure all of the athletes were performing the movements safely and effectively - even calling me out on my worm push ups ;). We had an awesome experience at loco ocho and will definitely be back when we're in the area! read more

Best life decision I've ever made was to join this gym. All of the coaches are spectacular. Try harder

Awesome CF Box, great place to drop-in and workout, very friendly group! I drop-in every time I'm in Sacramento area

Amazing CrossFit location. Knowledgeable trainers, fun environment. Thank you so much for allowing me to train this morning. Josh was a very welcoming helpful and encouraging coach. Anyone in the Sacramento area looking for a CrossFit gym I recommend this location. read more

Best CrossFit Gym in Town!!! I'm not even sure where to start on this review, but it definitely deserves more than 5 stars. This CrossFit Gym is so awesome, from their amazingly talented athletes to their highly educated coaches and not to mention the Ocho's team mascot dog Charlie! What a wonderful community of CrossFitterers, very clean and organized, super friendly environment that takes you to the limit! They have everything you need and top of the class coaches who pay attention on accuracy (especially if you are a beginner) in order to avoid injuries and to ensure that you gather maximum benefit from the exercises. The staff is extremely friendly and open to helping you out. Even most the members will talk to you for 30 minutes if you let them. Go see Josh, Matt, Chris or Intern Caleb about anything you may need. Loco Ocho, thank you for treating a stranger to CrossFit so well. read more

What can I say about "The Ocho" that hasn't already been said? I know people seem to love success stories so here's mine... A number of years ago I fell in a ditch. Not as fun as it sounds, and definitely is only funny to tell in retrospect about taking a flying leap to the side of the road in the dark with two leashed dogs in an effort to avoid being hit by a passing car with no headlights on. The funniest part wasn't finding myself in a 4 ft hole with the dogs looking down on me like "what's your problem?" but instead the man who came to check on me only because he had a problem with my choice of profanity that I was yelling within earshot of his sleeping daughter's bedroom window. Aaaaanyway....attempts at later rehabilitation weren't successful because our good friends at Kaiser don't seem to understand that ankles don't really heal when the full extent of rehab is tracing the alphabet on the floor with your foot. For several years I would lose my balance, fall, re-injure, rinse and repeat. I was going to need surgery, accompanied by 8-12 weeks off my feet, multiple months in an air cast, and even more months in physical therapy. I told the doc that we'd do it in the Fall....mainly because I wasn't interested in spending my summer stuck on the couch. Here's where The Ocho comes in. In late January of this year I went to the 6am class to check it out. My beloved Krav Maga classes were making things worse because I couldn't keep my balance on the mat, so I needed something more. I went in with the intent of gaining generally improved fitness, maybe a little core strength to. No real goals other than just showing up. Fast forward 6 months, approximately 1500 Wall Balls, 30,000 squats, 600 box jumps and a billion burpees later. I had the sudden realization that my ankle was fully functional. I couldn't remember the last time I had tripped or lost my balance. My ankle didn't hurt while running. I shudder to think...had I been presented with and made the decision to have foot surgery on the same day I walked into the Ocho, I would most likely still be on the couch today, and most likely still carrying the 40ish lbs that have fallen off in these past months. Give Josh and Matt a call, their programming is second to none. read more

What started out as a desperation to find a CrossFit box that was open during the pandemic turned into a great decision for my wife and I. Josh, Matt and Jenna are all wonderful coaches that know what they are doing, they will find exactly what method works for you to be pushed so you leave there feeling like you're getting what you need. There are so many class time options and they even have extra programming workouts so there's no excuse not to try harder. read more

Dont take drop ins. Not visitor friendly. I travel for work all over the world, this is the first gym that didn't allow drop ins. What a bummer! read more

Absolutely love Ocho! Started 6 months ago during the pandemic when we were outside. The coaches Matt and Josh know my ability AND potential. Highly recommend for anyone - all ages and abilities! read more

I've been coming to the Ocho for a little over 4 years now and it has been amazing. In those 4 years every day is a challenge and nothing is ever the same. There is no routine every workout is exciting. I started not really knowing what crossfit was but I'm glad I stumbled across this gym. A lot of people think crossfit is only for the elite but the coaches are super friendly and are amazingly good at modifying workouts to your level, it doesn't matter if you're fairly new or 100% inexperienced you will get an awesome workout. Truly encourage anyone to give this gym a try, you won't regret it. read more

My trainer goes to Ocho to keep fit. It must be a great gym! I hear Josh Stonier is a terrific coach! read more

I've been to lots of local CrossFit gyms and gyms on my travels. I also own a gym and the Ocho is top notch. The owners, Josh and Matt are present and attentive with more care and compassion for their members than I've seen anywhere else. Beyond that, their coaching methods are efficient and safe getting their members to their better selves one day at a time. The class availability is unmatched in the area. The price is low relative to the quality of service. It's clean, organized, friendly, fun and effective. I highly recommend this gym. read more

I have been going to this place for over a year now, Mat and Josh are great coaches, , and they push you to your full potential . Great and friendly group of people ! I love this place that my son even joined after trying it out a few times . Keep doing your thing guys ! read more

I have been a crossfitter for 5 years + (45 years old) and decided to try The Ocho after 4 years at another gym, when I realized that I had plateaued and wasn't getting better. I followed their programming for a couple weeks and felt that they had the dynamic I was looking for that originally sucked me into the crossfit experience. I have never been an athlete or an avid workout person. I started crossfitting during one of the worst personal struggles in my life because I knew I needed to make a change rather than let it all suck me down lower. Crossfit has been that change that has transformed not only my body but my outlook on life! I started at The Ocho in January 2016 and have not regretted my decision! Josh and Matt are stellar trainers who regard each athlete individually and make the experience positive and fun while pushing you to be better. Crossfit can be intimidating but once you walk into this gym you are welcomed and treated like family. I am so comfortable with this gym and the coaching I also have my 14 year old son going as well. read more

* Easy to Find * Priced Right for the Service * Amazing Coaching * Amazing Community * Lots of class times available * Always improving (new equipment, renovations, etc.) * Workouts scaled for anyone. So, I had been working out for several times a week and not seeing any results. I knew that running a mile on the treadmill and doing 3 sets of 10 on everything just wasn't working out for me anymore and needed a change if wanted to actually get not just the body I wanted, but change my lifestyle. I literally stumbled upon CrossFit Loco Ocho back in August (of '16) and am so glad I did. I was crazily nervous to join because I had heard a lot of stereotypes about the kind of people who do CrossFit, but the minute I walked through the door (15 minutes late because I didn't account for traffic), I was greeted warmly by not only one of the Coaches, but another member as well. Within minutes, I felt like I had been going to this gym for years. I couldn't believe it! The gym is easy to find and big! Every single class is different. The coaching is top notch, and the programming is challenging. I can do more now physically, just three months in, than I have EVER been able to do in my life, my body is the best it's probably ever looked, and I have already made lasting friendships... who, even though the are on their own journey and working as hard as I am, never hesitate to stop and make sure you feel like a part of something bigger. The people who go to this gym with me are young & old, males & females, A variety of backgrounds, physically fit or just starting on their fitness goals. read more

I started going to the Ocho about a month ago after hearing so many great things about This unique community. From the first time I walked in to now, everyone is so encouraging and friendly. The workouts will kick your ass; however, the owners (Josh and Matt) who are training you, not just create it but do it everyday as well, so they truly understand what you go through when you're doing the workout. Speaking of Matt and Josh...they are passionate and gifted trainers. I spent 15 years with a 24HR fitness membership and never ended any of those workouts laying on the floor trying to catch my breath because I had pushed myself and the people around me were pushing themselves to get better. The Ocho will do that! I enjoy everyday that I'm there and can't wait to go back for more! read more

When I started at the Ocho is late 2019 I had already been doing CrossFit for 6 years in another city. I had moved to the area about 6 months prior and hardly knew anyone. Now I consider this place a second home. Matt and Josh have created an amazing thing in CrossFit Loco Ocho. The coaches are top notch, consistent, and considerate. The programming is for life. I've been a member at several different gyms, and have visited many more, and this place is truly special. read more

The instructor Matt was both demeaning and controlling. I came as a "one time drop in" with years of experience- I am 66 yrs old and never wanted his opinion on my form or what weights to use. He constantly corrects you throughout. He insists on choosing your weights for you. The location is great and it is a beautiful gym. I have been doing CrossFit for 8 years. I have been a drop in in over 30 locations . This was my first negative drop in experience EVER from New York to Hawaii. Other boxes are not like this when you visit. Micromanaging and demeaning throughout. He literally had me "show me what you got" on a clean before dictating the weight I should use for the WOD. He stopped me 5 times during the 20 minute WOD to correct my grip etc. I had written on my paperwork that I was "there to move". I explained 3 different times that my lose grip was due to the arthritis in my hands......constantly correcting me as I was trying to do the WOD. Never experienced anything like it. read more

I have been doing CrissFit since 2008 and been at CrossFit Loco Ocho since they opened in 2014. I've been through the level 1 certification and competed on a team in the 2009 and 2010 CF Games. The owner trainers, Matt and Josh, are extremely knowledgeable about CrossFit methodology and body mechanics. Their programming is so well planned that they follow it with us. This is a place where everyone is welcome- all different levels- from the beginner to the elite. The community is great! Come join us! read more

I had been doing crossfit on my own at Cal Fit and in my garage for about 3 years when I decided to give this place a try. I have now been a member for over a year and a half and I haven't regretted it for a minute. Not only has my overall fitness improved due to excellent coaching by Matt Pearson and Josh Stonier but I have met some amazing people along the way. Not only do I look forward to working out but I enjoy all the people I workout with! Highly reccomended; give it one month and see if it's everything I've made it out to be. read more

Love this place, started about 6 month ago. All the coaches are super friendly, knowledgeable & always encouraging everyone to try harder. They helped me modify a good amount of workouts shortly after I broke my foot while encouraged me to keep coming. Definitely should drop in and try a class, you will be pleasantly surprised afterwards. read more

I was in the middle of graduate school and kept making excuses as to why I wasn't working out. I was athletic in the past, but I kept telling myself I was too busy to exercise. Finally, my friend Cara convinced me to go to a class on a Saturday because I had the time and your first class is free. When I first entered Crossfit Loco Ocho, I noticed the big, open space. The gym was also very clean. I was greeted by Matthew, one of the coaches. He gave me a tour and introduced me to some of the members of Ocho Nation. Everyone made me feel welcome. Both Matthew and Josh are excellent coaches. They do a great job of explaining body mechanics in a clear, concise manner. The programming is challenging, but fun! Matt and Josh also are great at scaling the workouts to fit any fitness level whether you're a beginner or a well seasoned crossfitter. After my 1st workout, I was immediately hooked. After a few months, I was in the best shape of my life. I am approaching almost 1.5 years since I started and I've never looked back. read more

I joined CrossFit Loco Ocho in February of 2016 as a beginner to crossfit and a huge skeptic. 1 class later I was hooked. Although I have no other gym or coaches to compare Loco Ocho to, I can't imagine a better place to start your fitness journey. On the flip side if you're already a cross-fitter, this gym will continue to challenge you every day. Amazing coaches, convenient class times, affordable prices and a great crew of athletes make this a great gym to be a part of!! read more

The best crossfit gym in Sacramento! Love Matt and Josh, are both great people and are very knowledgeable about crossfit. The community is just great and when I first joined I was very shy but everyone welcomed me in with open arms and I felt like they were family. You will always see seas of smiles welcoming you in. I've been going to this gym half a month now and I'm sore every.single.day compared to the other crossfit gyms I've been to. Matt and Josh really care about their athletes and give out so many helpful advice in improving at a lift or any other movement. The enviroment here is just great and no one gives up on eachother. I love this gym so much in this short time I've been coming and missing a day is impossible.The gym is nice,big,and open. Proud to be apart of the Ocho nation. Make the change to better yourself here at this gym! read more

I've been a member here for 2+ years. In the last two years, I've traveled and dropped in to multiple CrossFit gyms and I've never had as good of an experience as I get to have every single day at the Ocho. The coaches are amazing- very knowledgeable and patient and the community is fun and supportive. The workouts are challenging both physically and mentally, but are scaled appropriately for all levels. I used to be one who would go to a Globo gym and do the stair master for 20 minutes and do a couple machines and think I got a great workout, however, I never felt a real difference. Now I leave my workouts at the Ocho feeling like I actually did WORK and feeling fantastic! Class times are spread throughout the day. The facility is large and spacious & the owners are always adding new equipment and making changes to improve everyone's experience. I'd recommend anyone who is interested in improving their health and fitness drop in and see for themselves what the Ocho is all about. read more

I love Crossfit Loco Ocho! I have been working out here for four months, and I really can't say enough great things about this place. The owners, Josh and Matt, are incredible. They are devoted to improving the fitness of each and every individual that walks through the doors. They pay attention to what you are doing, make sure you are doing it right, and push you when you need to be pushed. They are knowledgeable, motivating, fun, and lead by example, always encouraging us all to try harder. The gym itself is large and immaculate. The community is fantastic with athletes of all ages, abilities, and fitness levels. They have become instant friends, and people I look forward to seeing each day! In four months, I have lost weight, improved my strength and skills, and, most importantly, feel better than I have in a long time. As a mother of three kids who works full time and is constantly on the go, the time I get to spend at the Ocho devoted to myself and to my own physical fitness and mental well-being is priceless to me. I couldn't think of a better place to be. I would encourage anyone interested in checking this place out to do so and to give themselves the same gift. You won't regret it! read more
