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"!

I still love it and am so glad I went back! There are cardio and strength classes. Cardio always has some targeted muscle group exercises as well. You always have low impact options and other modifications if you back issues, etc. Dawn and her crew of instructors are great. There are all age groups from college students to a few people in their 70s and everything in between. No one judges you, cares what you wear, your size you are or how out of shape you might be. If you think you can't do it because you're out of shape -- think again. I was so out of shape a year ago that I could barely do it anything, but I paced myself and got back on track. I'm down 22 pounds and feel pretty darned good. Try it!

I was a member for six years from the old days when the location was still managed under Ozark…read moreFitness. There are a variety of positives and negatives for Genesis that ultimately come out to a mixed bag of good and bad. The location is right off of Battlefield and National, and is very easy to access. However, the parking lot is far too small for the busy times of the day, and it may be difficult to find a spot during the afternoon prime time workout hours. The interior was completely renovated when Genesis took over the gym, and the locker rooms, cardio class areas, and upstairs treadmill and exercise bike sections were completely redesigned and are very well maintained. Honestly, the locker rooms look more like the bathrooms for a fancy hotel than a gym. The gym caters very well to the serious powerlifter or bodybuilder with a wide variety of machines and free weights, including several squat racks and a dumbbell rack ranging all the way up to the very impressive pair of 160's, although much of the equipment is rather old and was first used well over a decade ago. Because of the age of some of the machines, it's not unusual for some of them to be out of order for several weeks at a time when something breaks. The hours have gotten worse in recent years. The gym used to be open 24/7 and closed only on Christmas Day, which was fantastic for the college student with a late schedule. However, they now operate more closely to the day shift industry standard, and tend to close early on the weekends and close completely on certain holidays.They tend to close very early and open late with restricted hours the day before and after a holiday, so you have to pay close attention to their notifications. The price has also sharply increased. What was once a cheap gym membership is now a big monthly commitment that requires a significant bank account. They prefer that you sign a contact for a two year membership, although this can be automatically renewed without any input from you. When I moved out of state, management wanted me to transfer my contract to someone else, despite me not seeing any paperwork in over six years. The gym sells a variety of supplements and other fitness products, although the high prices are usually beaten by buying them somewhere else. They have a smoothie bar by the front desk, but again they tend to be overpriced. Overall, Genesis is a good gym with a few drawbacks. Expensive, and with a restrictive schedule and membership contracts, but very nice with a beautiful interior, and it's well worth the visit if you live or work nearby.

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.
