I've been doing Crossfit since 2003 in all kinds of crazy locations. This is the best drop-in that…read moreI have ever made. This place is a total hidden gem. Plenty of space and equipment. Great community and I felt at home on day one. Solid programming that pushed me to my limits in a challenging but safe way. I was actually coached as a drop-in and I left a better athlete in a week of working out here. Made my week long stay at Fort Leonard Wood a good time. Their drop-in policies were totally fair and I would highly recommend literally anyone in the area to check this place out. Heck, I would take orders out here again just to work out here.

Luckily my first on ramp class a few friendly members introduced themselves to me which helped easy my nerves a tiny bit. Let me tell you, of all the gyms I've ever been a member (YMCA, Anytime, Snap, etc) no one has EVER done that unless they were trying to sell me a membership. So anyway I did on ramp and decided to stick with it because, plain and simple, I needed to. My body was fed up with the abuse I put it through. It was scary at first and I was fat, intimidated and shy and didn't want to talk to any of these incredibly fit people. But as I kept going people learned my name, they cheered for me, they wanted to watch me succeed. After the holidays I joined the 8 week fitness challenge that started in January. I started showing up 3x a week and as I got better I started showing up 4x per week. At the end of the challenge I weighed in at 14.5 lbs (and that was an evening bloated weight, not a 5 am weigh me now weight ), 5.5 inches, my strength increased by 20lbs and my benchmark wod increased by 25 reps. I couldn't believe the measured success! After the challenge I decided to sign up for the open and I just completed week 2. I can now do things like knees up and a few push ups in plank position. I couldn't do those in December or January. To date I've lost 21 lbs, 2 pants sizes, 1 dress size. I can do more burpees before I feel like I'm going to die, I can jog a little bit further than I could before, and jump rope, while still my nemesis, is getting better every week. I've realized I have my strengths and weaknesses inside the gym. The best part is that I've had such great success my sister joined crossfit and my sister-in-law hired a personal trainer. We're becoming a fit fam. My friends at JCCF still cheer for me and I still show up. I hope I encourage people to take charge of their fitness. If you're in on ramp and feeling intimidated just come talk to me. I'm at the 6:30 pm and 6 pm classes My ass can't run a half a mile so trust me you've got nothing to worry about . Everyone has to start somewhere. Even if it's learning to pick things off the floor without falling.

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"!

Luckily (or so I thought) I walked up as the class of two people were wrapping up... But I was denied a gym tour because the owner was overwhelmed that there was a walk-in. Lol. She said that she "had never had one before" and the look she gave me was so gross. Ew. I can't. There were literally just the two people leaving her and I in there..... any other CrossFit I've EVER walked up to greeted me with smiles and warmth bc THAT is what Real CrossFit gyms are about. This one can't even handle a walk in when there is no one there. Sad really.

They are super motivating with their classes, which range from a resistance training class that's beginner-friendly with Coach Branda, to options for something tougher. They pay good attention to shoulder and hip mobility through a thoughtfully designed warm-up and then a sort of HIIT-style set of exercises that keep things fun and dynamic. Resistance ("strength and conditioning") classes are M/W/F and then there are stretch and yoga classes on other days. There is a great community here, with men and women, members of all ages, and beginners to serious competitors. I cannot more highly recommend this gym. I wish it were close to my home!
